Arabelle 0 Posted June 30, 2020 Author #21 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Not even an acknowledgment. –And it was her songs aiding him in this battle. Where would he be without her heals and debuffs? Lips pressed together in a small pout, it was by her own choosing that she made herself scarce when player and two-headed beast traded blows once again. But could she even call it that when they could barely even catch him? Seconds ticked on. Her songs continued with no regard for rhyme or synchrony, every couple of notes punctuated by rings of metal and snapping of jaws. When the interval was reached, Arabelle popped the cork off the third vial to restore another bit of lost HP. She skipped back a step, discarding the glass as soon as she was done with it. In the short time between now and the moment she would be expected to use her last crystal, she let her gaze wander idly about the inside of the cavern.

Pinball 1 Posted July 7, 2020 #22 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Quickly, one head after another, Cerberus would inevitably fall. They hit hard, but Pinball hit harder, and their snapping jaws weren't quick enough to keep up with the nimble unarmored striker. He danced around attack again and again, a fiery death just barely passing him by each time, and then retorted with a quick and furious onslaught of stabs and slashes. Embers and shadow flew, alit by vibrant purple light and the golden-red glow of the lava all around them. Pinball grit his teeth. For a second it felt like he was suspended in midair, painfully open to a counterattack, but in the blink of an eye his sword art had finished, leaving him plummetting to the ground through an explosion of polygonal blue shards. With a huff, the young man righted himself and regarded his final target. Only the one head was left, and there was by no means any indication that the fight would grow any more difficult than it had already been. Just a bit longer now.

Arabelle 0 Posted September 2, 2020 Author #23 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Oh dear. –In that single moment, the girl had tensed behind her cover: eyes narrowed, her scythe manifesting from a distortion in the twisted air. He could certainly take more than a couple of direct hits, and if there was anything else Pinball was good for, it was being elusive, but cornered– In her calculations, there was still the slightest possibility he could actually die. Hardly had she begun internally rehearsing the alibi she already had prepared when Pinball skidded away from the mob, breaking through a cluster of the second Cerberus head’s digital dust. She leaned on her side against the pillar, arms crossed, unsympathetic and amused. He didn’t look at her. “You’re skilled at this,” Arabelle sang, already certain her comment would draw his ire. Or indifference. Did it matter? “Here, our last present.” Scythe in one hand and a crystal in another, she stepped out of her cover. High up in the air her final song went; her toss had sent it shattering against the cave roof, and as intangible fragments rained down upon them, the song's effects automatically targeted the only mob in the area.

Pinball 1 Posted September 18, 2020 #24 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Embers rose and fell with the ringing tune, each note brimming with its own sense of impending finality. Pinball's feet would glide across cracked and scorched earth, the blistering hot nature of the cavern gradually fading with the destruction of the hellhounds. The creature radiated heat, hot blasts of air damaging him unless he landed careful blows, liquid fire dribbling from the corners of its jagged and twisted maws. But the fight was finally coming to a close, and Pinball couldn't help but sweat despite the skill that protected him from just that. A cyclone of ice and color swirled around the end of his spear as Pinball thrust it forward, absolutely shredding through the base of the final head's throat, nearly separating its neck from its torso in a cataclysmic impact. Pinball's form flickered as he hit the ground, whirled around to face him, reeling backwards and preparing for what would more than likely be the final blow.

Arabelle 0 Posted September 21, 2020 Author #25 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Light steps shadowed his. No sooner did Pinball finish his attack than she shot forward, sights zeroed in on the wounded dog's new weakness. Throughout the course of the battle, Arabelle had grown terribly bored, and now faced with the opportunity to eliminate the source of it, the girl ruthlessly carved her blade into Cerberus's throat. Embers spilled from its new wound, and there was a distinctive snap as she tore off her blade, taking a large chunk of virtual flesh and a couple points of her HP along with it. She'd land behind the Cerberus, placing the snarling mob between her and Pinball. In her hand was a broken collar wreathed in remnants of digital dust. "Oh, the battle must have shaken up my memory a little." Arabelle tilted her head to look over her shoulder, purple hair casting shadows over her half-hearted concern. "You can take care of it yourself, right? We just ended up taking the long way around, so the tunnel ahead should lead outside, too." And she left him alone in the cavern, firelight glinting off the collar's blank metal slate.

Pinball 1 Posted November 19, 2020 #26 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Was she really just going to leave him? As easily as that? Frustrating. But Pinball didn't really have the time or energy to seethe over Arabelle any more than he already had. With a forceful push in the direction of the hellhound, Pinball thrust himself forward, his spear lashing out in what would almost look like multiple directions at once. His spear tore and ripped through the digital flesh of the creature, and with one last ear-splitting howl, Pinball was forced back as Cerberus, Inferno's Rage, fell. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and he took hot, labored breaths as the polygonal fractals spiraled outwards in every direction. It was finally over. It definitely hadn't been an easy fight. To be honest, he probably wouldn't have been able to done it if Arabelle hadn't been there to assist him - but it wasn't like he was going to acknowledge that. Like, ever. Pinball shook it off. Every exchange with her was just so pleasant. But he could be alone now. He made his way down the tunnel ahead, following Arabelle's example, trusting that she wouldn't have lead him astray, but leaving himself prepared for an unpleasant surprise nonetheless. Whatever happened, he was just grateful he didn't have to deal with her for a good long while. So why didn't he feel satisfied?
