[F13-PP] Horseman vs Imbalance

[Mars 0]

Gazing around as the two fighters manage to miss each other he would just nod his head as that means it is less work for him to do and deal with as the pink haired girl seemingly blends into the world to disappear and do whatever it is that she would be dealing. A sigh escapes his lips at that as he sheathes his sword and looks towards his familiar while giving him a quick nod of his head as the familiar would quickly follow the katana wielding man as he makes his way away from the two dueling players. Priest come now. He orders the holy man as the man known as Miraak would follow as the simple bit of coding that it is as he would leave the two players to fight as he himself dealt with and incoming waves of beasts that will most likely arrive. Standing and waiting patiently he would gaze around the area and spot no sign of the ice cream girl and just nod and instead decide to say very loudly to make sure that she heard him. Hey Ice Cream! I'm sure you can fight one or two whatever we're meant to fight by yourself. Feel free to do that while i deal with any that tries to attack these two as they fight! He shouts over towards her before gazing back towards the surrounding area like a sentry guard ignoring the sound of spear clanging off against armor as it means that pinball scored the first hit. 'Seems he can score a hit against a tank...one step better than our duel where i was the only one who got a hit in.'

Neo didn't even really care about what was going on with the other three. They were going to be going at it for who knew how long and she just wanted to work on this quest that they came here for. If Haz needed her to come save him, then that would be a different issue. But he could handle his own just fine, at least that's what she thought. Seeing one of the enemies that she would need to face to keep moving forward, Neo popped out of stealth and quickly sent her blade through it. It seemed to do quite a bit of damage, but was definitely of a higher level than she was anticipating. Probably because of either the larger group size or just that there was someone higher level than her in this group. Likely the latter, considering the game seemed to lie to respond to volume of players with volume of mobs. Not surprising she wasn't the highest level here though. Not surprising in the slightest.

It seems Pin went for the Attack and Haz was still standing proud in front of Pinball. for a moment Haz sees the face of Pinball as he attacks, he gets even angrier and Haz really was not in the mood to even attack and as the attack landed Haz lost his only good protection and stood there without damage done to him. A small smirk came up from behind his helmet and he nodded, "Well now you lost your only way of making sure you don't get hit in the next battle. But why bother to teach someone older than you to straighten up, your just a small little punk who thinks he is something because of numbers. Going to push people would work in the game, yes, But don't be F*** Stubborn. What would your parents think, What would your real life friends think when they hear what this game did to you, What happens to the Pinball who was shy and cared, What would Arabelle think, What would Spangie think... What would she think Now that she is GONE FOREVER!" He yelled at him trying to get into his head with people he knew and sure that some impact on Pinball.

"Think before you take your Next Action, I will not fight you... I won't go that low to attack another player. Want to give me a point GO AND TALK because at this point you get nowhere," he said bold and stubborn really just acting on his own and not thinking about anything else, Haz was not the kind of person to turn on his allies. Not even for some darn point he needs to make. This game has already taken to many lives and hoping Pinball would understand the thought of this JUST being a game to break the mind of the players, "Are you true to yourself or just lying to yourself Pin, Think about who you were and not who you are now, Think about better times THINK ABOUT YOUR REAL LIFE AND FAMILY WHO CARES FOR YOU!" he yelled at Pinball before putting his spear on the ground and walking over to Pinball holding Pinball's spear and towering over him.

Pinball's nostrils flared as Hazado went on. He didn't get it! Still! After everything he- well, everything he felt. Through the anger that felt like it had a choke-hold on him, Pinball hadn't actually been able to properly explain why Haz was what Pinball felt him to be. He gripped his spear tighter, the cold wood chilling his fingers. Coming from you, that's rich, he almost spat. But Hazado dropped a few names that caught his attention. 

Arabelle? Who the hell was she? He vaguely recalled some purple-haired chick he had talked to once or twice. That name didn't mean much to him. But Spangie-? Gone? Forever? Pinball wheeled back as if he had been struck across the face. Images of the lively young woman filled his mind, and he almost choked on his own distress. "No, you- you're a liar," he growled. But the look in Hazado's eyes was confirmation enough. He took a step back. 

Gone! 

Dead! 

Like everyone Pinball cared about. He felt the anger slowly drain, replaced with a familiar, bitter emptiness. They don't understand. 

No, you don't get it. 

It's your fault. 

It's his! 

Pinball didn't move as Hazado stepped forward, snatching the end of Pinball's spear. He looked up at the man, and for a second his face wasn't of an angry murderer. It was the face of a scared, grief-stricken kid. He felt tears well up in his eyes, but his expression hardened once more. He easily tugged his spear free of Haz's armored grip. "You know, you say that," Pinball snarled, "and you still think this is a game. Is there anything about this that's fun to you?" Pinball turned around, his hair obscuring his vision. 

In a swift motion, he brought his fingers to his lips. Pinball let out a long, sharp whistle, and the monsters that were milling about - the monsters they were supposed to be fighting to clear the quest that Pinball had all but forgotten about at this point - turned their heads to acknowledge him. And they shuffled forward. 

Without warning Pinball whipped back around to face the tank. In a flash of motion he brought his spear across the man's armored form, relentlessly carving deep red gashes through the plate as if it were made of butter. 

"This isn't a game. This is our reality." 

Hazado would find himself stunned, and Pinball would force him to take a knee and lazily try to kick him to the ground. The Ghouls surrounding them looked to Pinball with bright red, hungry eyes. Pinball gave the paralyzed tank one last look of anger before it completely vanished from his face - replaced by a blank, 100-yard stare. 

"And you're just another body." 

Pinball flipped his spear across his shoulders and walked away. One of the Ghouls took a swipe at him, but Pinball didn't care. Pinball jerked forward under the impact, pulled a crystal from his belt, and crushed it in his palm. The green stone crumbled to dust in his fist, but he made no move to retaliate. It wouldn't matter. He had more than enough health points to take a hit. He lived in a world of numbers, after all. Cruel, indifferent numbers. He walked past the ghoul, heading back to Mars, feeling empty with the revelation. 

"Deal with 'em yourself or I'll kill you," he mumbled, just shy of actually being heard. It didn't matter now, though. The conviction was gone from his voice. 

And the rest of the Ghouls feasted their confused, ruby eyes on the two with... well, with ghoulish delight.

Scanning through the area for any signs of the enemies that ice cream is already beginning to fight he hears them a little bit to late as he sees them charging towards the duo that is Pinball and Haz fighting with his rival stunning the tank onto the ground from the looks of it. The tell tale signs of ice not being across the armored man to say that is the cause of it, but the yellow almost red health is enough for him to have worry about the fate of the spear using man that is meant to help them with this quest. 'Well at the very least the ghouls aren't mauling him.' He thinks to himself while moving forward towards the duo and more so towards the ghouls that have stumbled forward to fight the what is now going to be duo or trio of players. Once within range of Pinball he would quickly punch him as hard as possible in the shoulder while casting a rather quick glare towards the spear user as his eyes narrow. Congratulatins you can actually land a hit on someone. Even if that hit is a tank during a duel. That is one step ahead than our duels Pinball which remind me we need to do one soon we're both rather close to tier three are we not? He says towards his rival with a amused tone of voice before the katana wielding man focuses his sights upon the ghouls and activates charge. Than within a instant sprints towards the enemies and begins to cut them down.

Rushing towards the ghouls he begins with a quick slice into them as he dashes past them twice from left to right while the are rather focused on trying to eat the tank alive as they've shifted focus towards the now downed enemy. As he quickly grips the blade tighter and rushes forward once more and do three quick strikes with all his might to cut into their backs leaving deep red gashes that reform back into their normal models. The ghouls slowly raise their attention towards the katana wielder who has a smirk and a vicious grin as he raises his right hand and gestures for them to come forward and try to attack him. His liger quick to back up that cockiness as a breathe of fire washes over the ghouls lowering their health ever so slightly more as the familiar roars out loudly towards them next to his owner.

(( @Pinball, you cannot force another player to engage with monsters. Unless Haz gave you OOC permission, all attacks would've gone towards you))

Going in for another attack, Neo noticed that the ghoul had nearly died to her second hit. With a little bit of luck, it seemed she could take them out in only 2 hits. Probably not the best considering her build, but still pretty good. She really needed to find a way to get around all of these defenses though. Or at least some way to take control of this rapier. She could feel the influence it was having on her, trying to drag her down into oblivion. But what if this was all just in her head? Was she faking this, or was it just some strange hallucination brought about by the game driving her insane. She couldn't quite tell what it was, but it was certainly driving her to the edge of her own mind. No point in dwelling on it now though. Right now, she needed to find the source of what this weapon was doing to her.

As he was holding on to Pinballs Spear Haz "She is not dead yet, I know..." But before he could end his sentence Pinball snapped and attacked him and yelled about this not being a game but really, Haz was confused where he got this from. LIKE REALLY Haz never said a thing like that, He was very clear about this being a death game, and he saw his HP bar quite low for a lot of times. Haz could not move as he was on his knee Pin tried to push him over but of really no effect at this was more a thing of the games real strength applying to a player. While on his knee he could see a group of Darn ghouls walk up to the party and it was clear the combat between Haz and Pinball got them to get here.

Still, on his knee, he looked as the Ghouls attacked Pinball while he was in a state of being stunned he could do nothing and just watch, On one thought Haz was thinking, Let him get attacked by these Monsters, He asked for this himself, But on the second one he was thinking about a way to help Pinball out here because this was going to be trouble if all did attack him at once.

( Like I said @Pinball You done Messed up quite Good being a Edge lord and all )

[Pinball 1]

(( let me have my edgy plot you silly turd )) 

He had shuffled over to Mars in hopes of finding some sort of consolation. Pinball didn't know what he was expecting. Mars had never been that guy. He was always hard on him, and that wasn't any different now - so he wasn't horribly surprised when he was subject to that particular passing comment. To which an already aggravated and grieving Pinball replied: 

"Oh, piss off." 

He didn't stick around to hear about the mention of their traditional duel - which was maybe an attempt to lighten the mood? Either way, Pinball didn't hear it, nor was he listening. Unbeknownst to him too, Mars was engaging the ravenous, ghoulish creatures and protecting a momentarily Stunned Hazado. He instead shuffled over to a shadier part of their surroundings; of which Pinball hadn't been paying much attention to, what with the pessimistic thoughts and the maybe too emotionally driven fighting... 

And he leaned into the structure - whether it was a tree or a rock or a cave - for support. He stared off into nothingness for a second, contemplating Haz's words; but at the same time, he wasn't. There was a pervasive look of emptiness on his face, as if words were now falling on deaf ears.

The sound of steel cutting through digital flesh consumed all sense of reason in Pinball's world.

Gazing towards the ghoulish creatures and than back towards the tank he could only narrow his eyes and give him a glare before scoffing a bit before facing the monsters once more as he holds onto the katana with a firm grip. Only casting back a unamused look towards the tank/spear user. Hey, tank boy, why don't you actually get to doing your job or at least help me kill these things. I am not going to do all the work while you slack off on your actual job in this party. You can have your little spite party towards Pinball at a later date when i am not going to die defending someone that should be able to defend themselves. He says in a apathetic and irritated tone of voice before focusing back onto the creatures at hand as he shifts back into an AoE type of attack with a scowl across his face. His familiar being quick to shoot out a jet of flames to begin the assault this time instead of after which is more normal for his liger.

The flames of the tiger quickly light aflame his enemies as he would rush forward towards them doing two warm-up attacks on the group dashing from one side to the next with two swift strikes. Afterwards he cuts into the enemies with a flurry of strikes reducing them all down into the yellow. Seems like Pinball and i had the right idea. Who needs mitigation when you can just out dodge anything. He says casually while looking back towards the spear user with a cold look in his eyes. Unless you want to try and prove me wrong mister spear man.

Neo was laser focused on the ghoul in front of her. She knew that it was part of the path between her and figuring out the source of this weapon's powers. That was what she came here for. At this point, the quest was just a nice addition to it and not something she actually was coming to for the great rewards of it. She desperately wanted to finally quench the ideas this rapier put into her head. Carrying this out, Neo prepared a singular dark thrust from her weapon. The tendrils of the fallen priest it came from stretched out to engulf the enemy within, shriveling even further what little skin it had left. By the time she was done with it, there was nothing but dust left of the creature. Looking back towards where the rest of the group should've been, Neo didn't see anyone. Probably best then that she made her way towards where she thought the source might be then. The rest of them could catch up later.

"Mars, you know My name, So no Tank boy if you mind, And things have changed, It ain't like Last time," He said as he gets up from the ground now and picking up his spear as he spins it around before it starts to glow Red and Haz moves with as much speed what was quite a surprise how fast Haz was with his armor on. With a Grin of Pride Haz takes his spear in one hand and with a powerful swing around his head attacks the ghouls with as much power as he can, but sadly it seems the Paralyze still had it's after effects and before Haz could hit them all he went down on one knee quite fast before ending his swing and the Ghoul he did hit was laying on the ground looking quite hurt, After all, he did get hit by a spearhead in the face. 

Standing on his feet fast after he did hit the enemy Haz hit his own chest with a fist of anger, "OI! If you want to run now I will see you as a coward running from battle Pinball," He says in an angry sounding voice not even caring to look at Pinball before he takes his weapon and aims it at the few creatures standing there.

Taunts and challenges fell on deaf ears. Pinball leaned his back into a dead and wilting tree, slowly sliding down into a sitting position. He didn't want to be here anymore. Spangie was gone? He didn't know why. He had barely even known her. But the fact of the matter was that he had known her. Why was it that everyone he seemed to care about went away? He hurt them, or they hurt themselves, or choices he'd made pushed them apart. Was he the root of all his problems? 

He felt his gaze lift from the dirt in front of him to meet the two players he had walked away from. In the middle of a fight. That wasn't smart. What happened to protecting the ones who couldn't protect themselves? Pinball let his head drop. Nah, that's not right. Why should he care about them? People like them - they all thought the same. He didn't know why it was, but there was always this same type of self-important undertone in the way they carried themselves. What made them think they were invincible? What could he do to show them they were wrong? Pinball didn't have the words; he had never had them. Every time he tried to speak up he exploded, and every time he exploded he hurt someone. 

Would that show them? Hurting people? Pinball snorted, and looked off to the side. Their shouting seemed muffled and distant. Pinball wrapped himself tightly in a blanket of his own thoughts.

Looking towards the group of ghouls Mars watches as the tank almost kills one with a singular attack and the rest having just barely dodged out of the way from the remaining three other attacks. Quickly moving he dashes forward with blade in hand getting in close towards the four ghouls and quickly slices right through them passing right by them as he attacks through each of them. Once finished through the sword art he looks towards them seeing they are all in the red and than just backs away with a rather relaxed posture. One down, three to go. Hopefully you can get them this time around Haz so this fight can end and we can check dark and moody over their. he says while gesturing towards Pinball who is seemingly staring off into nothing away from the fight entirely.

Not wasting any time to move towards her next target, Neo immediately sprung into action the moment it came in to view. There was zero hesitation on that attack, and she could tell that her weapon was enjoying that so very much. It was interesting to see it responding so clearly now. That meant it left her even more vulnerable, but perhaps she could try to figure out more what it wanted. She knew it wanted the death of so many different players, to let out that aggression, but why did it want all of that. Why was there so much pent up pain and anger inside of the weapon? That was what she had come here to find out. Any rewards that come to the side of that are just happenstance at this point. She just wanted to get to the bottom of the pain she was dealing with.

Party Neo:

Haz sees Mars move past him and attack the ghouls once again and killing the one Hazado did hit. It was good again to fight along someone you already know, and Knowing how Mars was with fighting it made this quite a bit easier. Getting his spear in two hands Haz runs up to the now pushed away Ghouls and with a lot of momentum stands in the middle of them and makes quite a powerful spin hitting all of them. As the attack connects with all of them they seem to fly back with one big nasty looking scare on their chests before they explode into pixels. 

Haz comes to a stop and looks at the items that dropped. it was really not the best loot Haz could get but for sure not worse than he ever had, At least there was one Item that was Perfect and the Rare Item would be handy too as well. "well Mars, Check on your Friend, I will stand on guard here for a bit, make sure you are all clear to move, But don't think I will not become all friendly with him, He was out for a kill back there, and if not for Hestia I would have snapped his snap if I could," He said before standing with his back to Pin and Mars looking out over a few things making sure not more Ghouls showed up to attack out of nowhere.

Pinball's attention eventually drifted back to the group. He saw Neopolitan off to the side, fighting a ghoul by herself, and he saw Hazado standing with his back turned to Mars. How about you quit staring off into nothing and go help your girlfriend, he snorted. Pinball pushed himself to his feet. He was feeling better now. Now, "better" was a subjective thing, but- 

He shook himself out of it. But Pinball didn't want to hear it from anyone right now, so he instead took his spear and pointed it at Neopolitan, who was a good distance away. She didn't talk, at least. She could think all she wanted. He thought better of it, though, glancing at Haz. He wouldn't want him over there, near his... person. Pinball rolled his eyes and rested his spear across his shoulders, resigning himself to just standing here. He kept an eye out for any other ghouls, but said nothing and did nothing else. 

[Mars 0]

Looking around he spots the next shambling hoard of undead creatures make their way towards the group as he just shrugs his shoulders and raises up his katana blade and quickly rushes towards the opposition to meet their attacks. Quickly cutting into the group he manages to dance around most of their attacks moving just out of their swipes at him or bites by quickly side stepping to the left or backwards. However, one of them manages to get lucky and bite down upon his shoulder as he just quickly kicks it away as he finishes off his sword art by slicing into the hoard with two long slashes along their chests as he than backs away from them.

[Pinball 1]

Neopolitan and Hazado must have been really fed up, because the next time Pinball let his attention drift back to the couple, they were gone. Leaving Mars alone, fighting a group of ghouls on his own. 

Hypocrites!

What happened to protecting those who couldn't protect themselves? Where was that pride that he had boasted earlier? Where was the icecream girl's silent confidence? I hate that stupid frontliner mentality! Why are all of these [censored] people so [censored] dumb? Pinball felt an ugly, angry twist in his face, and then he threw himself forward, his Cold Fervor glowing a bright, blinding purple. As Pinball collided with the animate group of shambling corpses, he glanced at Mars and growled. "I'm done with these people, man! I'm outta here." And he hopped backwards, almost floating through the air a safe distance away from the fight, the color fading from his weapon.

After we kill these we can hop out of this and try this again later. He says calmly towards his rival as he prepares his own attack once more for an AoE as he gazes towards each of the ghouls and imagine them each as one of the frontliners. He soon after rushes forward towards them to initiate the kill shot against each of them. As he approaches upon the enemies his katana cuts cleanly through them with four long arcing slashes into their form as they burst into red pixels before them as he glances back towards Pinball and offers him a slight smile. Pinball i think we need to take this as a lesson, and a rather personal one at that. We can only depend upon one another. Any others will just be treated as if they will leave eventually anyhow, but till they do so we can than use them for what they can offer. Since if they're just going to use us and possibly leave us to die. We'll give them that same kindness if need be. He says calmly towards the spear user as he walks over towards him since the fight is over now.

[Pinball 1]

Perfect sense. It's always been that way from the start, hasn't it? Ever since Lucy died, Mars had been the one he had stuck around - once they had found each other, that is. But he was the one who had gotten him stronger, and he was the one who had stuck up for him when nobody else had. Pinball took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. They only had each other, and nobody else really gave a damn, did they? It made him sad. It made him angry. And he still didn't have the words to properly express his anger and that made him even angrier. Pinball stabbed his spear into the dirt, shaking his head. He nodded once, quickly. "Yeah," he agreed, opening his inventory and unequipping his weapon. "I think I'm out of here for now." He shook his head as his spear disappeared in a flash of blue light. He turned and started to walk away. "I'll catch you later." And then he paused. 

"Message me in a bit, alright?"
