Reporting from the Duel Forest, BioKraze
"Greetings to our regular vIRGin readers! This is BioKraze, reporting upon the Duel Forest in the Roleplaying Forum!
"Having accepted the position of Champion once more, BioKraze engaged spoon-san in another duel of the written word. The unanimous vote of Ends and the Poptart Bride laid the mantle of Championship upon spoon-san for the first time. Now, the Duel Forest waits for her to accept a challenger, as dictated by the Laws of the Poptart Seal...
"Beneath the eyes of Ends, SleepDebtFairy has arranged for the Burnt Poptart Seminar to be held in her own Sylphiechu Memorial Hall. A winner has never emerged from Sylphiechu victorious, and the reigning Champion is determined by Ends of the Poptart!
"In other news, BioKraze has assumed many of the formal duties of Ends of the Poptart, and orchestrates the duels while Ends awaits the Final Duel. All challenges to a Champion may be made to BioKraze, who is obligated by the Laws of the Poptart Seal to deliver them unto the Champion.
"If you have what it takes to claim the Power of Poptarts, PM KissingT.Kiryuu or BioKraze with the subject line Poptart Duel Challenge with your challenge! Or if you prefer to be a member of the elite Sylphiechu Fraternity, visit the Burnt Poptart Seminar and speak with SleepDebtFairy! Good luck to our Duelists!"

"Like before, the bells of the Forest have barely announced the beginning before they have been forced to announce the end. Though close, newcomer Riri-kins has bested former Champion The_A_Man in honourable combat! Perhaps this dark horse will have what it takes to achieve Poptartity; only time will tell.
"In honour of the holiday season, the duels have been postponed for a fortnight while everyone involved rests up. Perhaps longer still will it be before another duel takes place.

"The sounds of rousing victory and surprised defeat emanate from the Arena. Challenger Aine Silveria has defeated the former Champion, Riri-kins, who even now takes her place as the One Defeated. But not all is well -- the next duel must wait until penance has been offered in full. A preemptive challenge by the familiar face of BioKraze awaits the new Champion, and only time will tell who will claim victory in the upcoming 14th Duel!

"Unlike the last battle, the 16th Duel was one of deliberation and miscarriage. Yet the winner is clearly spoon-san, defending her title of Champion against Melancholic_Soul. The anti-Diosian revolutionary now awaits the onset of the 17th Duel to execute her plan as the One Defeated. As always, only time will tell how the battle is waged and who shall gain the upper hand.
