Summary
"Well isn't he just the tits," Thancred drawled, eyes fixed on the large monitor where the rising god of the Arcadion addressed the Warrior of Light from the top of a flying car painted with flames.
"The eye is certainly drawn to them," Y'shtola said dryly.
"Really? I hadn't noticed," Kate lied.Past the Far Edge of Fake...
Kate's been fighting her awkward way up the chain of Ascension Arcadia until one last fight stands between her and a prize that means more than the silly tin crown--freedom of the souls stored in the Arcadion's depths, and a cure for the soul-rot that plagues the young fighters who've become her friends in spite of (more likely *because of*) not knowing a thing about her past. Her biggest challenge? She can't just fight her way to the cure--she has to *sell it.* She'll be judged on her showmanship...and she can't act her way out of a paper bag.
But the gauntlet's been thrown and when she meets the opponent who threw it she quickly realizes that her problem won't be that she can't act--it'll be that she *isn't* acting. The gloves are off and so are the filters in the lead-up to the match, and it's even odds as to whether the pants will come off, too...
