Thank you! I'm glad the fighting stuff worked for you - I must admit, I was thinking of you as I wrote, and wondering if it would pass muster or not!
We'll find out about Alyssa's token, yes. There should be at least one more chapter this year, because this story was originally intended as the *prologue* or first section of the next story. It just... grew.
Alyssa is Pink; did you figure out who her dian is (Ser Madena)? And the sword master who fought Edge is, in my mind's eye, Michael Jackson, though I didn't give him a name. There's probably at least one of the bodyguards in the masters' enclosure for the Open Staff event, and oddly enough, the image I had in mind for Pelarik (the big lad who went in for the Punisher trial) was from the dance crew Status Quo. But most of the named people are, alas, made up, because in all honesty I don't *know* enough real-life pop-world-inhabitants to be able to get all the characters I need.
