My story for this Vagabonds S2QF3 is a sequel to @edward.maesen's entry.

What happened so far:

As this match of violent cuddling was about to start, one of the combatants, Mutia to be precise, had the mindbogglingly brilliant idea of stealing the bragging rights from the Gods, deciding her fate themselves, directly.

In an attempt to break the circle of a fictious hiveminded Niflheim Metaverse on @marty-art's blog, she stole the magic torch, the symbol of masterful narration, right from @edward.maesen's hands, just as he was predicting, right at that moment.

Flabbergasted by his own imagination @edward.maesen looked after Mutia as she ran towards the exit of the arena with his hard earned bragging rights.

_{[Remark:] "Really, Edward, what was up there, you of all people are the one who should have known better. You knew she was coming, actually you made her come for it, and then you let her get away with it, too... sigh... well I guess it's up to me to fix the situation now!"}

Fortunately, though, everyone's darling @cuddlekitten suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Well, I guess if there's a cuddling match anywhere, even if it's a violent one in Niflheim, @cuddlekitten cannot be missing, can she?

And so the story unfolds:

@cuddlekitten, soft and fluffy, umm... like a lightning-bolt, pursued Mutia through the locker room. Zilong Zygmunt, was still there, recovering from his loss in the previous quarter final, he had just gotten off the phone with a professional advisor when the little fur-ball swooshed past him.

It is hard to say what happened next. @cuddlekitten pursued Mutia into the mist outside the arena and out of sight from anyone present. We could hear faint sounds of some drumset playing, followed by a serenade played on a guitar. Then a faint "awwwww" and a distant "purrrr"

Neither @cuddlekitten nor Mutia have returned since then, but we can clearly determine that Pattimura, who's been sitting passively and without any mention, completely uncuddled, in the arena all this while, has not won this match. Mutia however, we can say with 100.39% certainty, has had some serious cuddling going on out there... I guess that makes her the winner today.

But what happened to the torch of Bragging rights?! Will it be gone for good? Will this universe collapse here? What will happen next?
