[Clash Of Blades Season 1] Week 2: Tricolor_Mina & Katoka vs Pollux & Koga

[Kindling 0]

Wooden pews lined with soft fabric, not arranged in their normal rows with an alley in between, instead placed in a circle around the central podium, turning it much more into a stage, than a place of Worship. The stained and colored fragments of glass painted their beautiful picture along the marble-like, smooth flooring of granite and stone. It was a hell of a thing, to convince the Clergy of this cathedral to honor the traditions of the Players. Nothing that a few favors couldn't work out, and the assurance of supervision. Such supervision was already present here, speaking of which. Armored and armed Crusaders in their large, round helmets, the symbols of their religion carved into visors for them to see out of stood with their swords pointed down, their hands on the pommels of those blades. Vigilant, and steadfast in their discipline and duty. Elders of the church present in a balcony far above, presumably a sort of cat walk that lead to rooms where those authorities could conduct meetings. Those obscured pathways working for an impromptu audience section for those. While the rest of those who would attend - be they citizen of Taft, Player, or a servant of the Lord Regent - would be able to find a comfortable seat in the rearranged benches of worship.

'Show time.' The thought was it's own assurance. It was time to show the face of entertainment. Your announcer, Kindling, turned around to gesture with a flair, his voice raising to echo and bounce off of every far off surface throughout the Grand Cathedral.

"GOOD MORNING TAFT, AND PLAYERS!"

Looking to add just a bit more energy in comparison to his last week's introduction. Finding his verbal and metaphorical footing for this new role he was taking on. "This week, we have something special planned for you all. The church setting isn't just for show. You see, in here, I intend to have vows spoken, for two pairs of Combatants to have each other's backs in victory, and in defeat. Through Status Effects, and Full Health. Until 0 HP - or Conceding - do them part." A quick tilt of his chin sideways and up to see if the Elders of the church would appreciate his attempt at humor. Or, at the very least, let it slide for the sake of entertainment and this tradition of theirs. "The wonderful Minako and I have drawn up combatants into pairings, where they will face off against two together. Their condition to victory will be to defeat both of their enemies. We took the time, and even got Dinners and lunchtime snacks made prior to this engagement, with the hope that it brought each pair just a little closer together..." A brief pause to check for the audience reaction, followed by that of an attempt to read the expressions before continuing. "Aaanddd without further ado, let's introduce our very first fight of the day..."

His left hand opened and beckoned to his left side, out stretched, with the fingers spread out. "Two women who are more well endowed than some villages I have been to collectively, both frontliners who had been steeled and battle tested against the strongest enemies our current world has to offer, one a swift victor of their previous fight - the other I can't quite remember because it took them so long to get the fight going It'sssss Katoka and Tricolor_Mina!" Stepping back for their cue to enter the stage, giving some time for fanfare, and for the booming bouncing of his voice to finally stop rattling the candles far above them in this largely open and empty sanctum. Now it was time for the other side. His left arm lowered, right arm now raising to gesture to the other pair.

"And in a mirror of their match up, one who won their previous match by HP Default, after mostly attacking the oxygen in the air around her opponent - and the other who took so long that it's been wiped from my memory - With no kitty cats to hit in sight, we'll see how she fairs, while her ally, the self-described Ronin, fights the English Language and his opponents at the same time It'sssss Pollux - Yue Hua - and Koga!" Now moving to allow the other side to take the stage.

"Now, love is a battlefield, and so is this church. But, that means try not to super-crit each other for hundreds of damage. We have re-engaged the tierlock system, try not to hit each other too hard. I am standing by with my healing. Watch the lowblows, and touch gloves. Metaphorically speaking." One last check to all four combatants. Giving them time to speak. Then his arm raised above his head, initiating the timer.

"On my mark. Get ready. Get set..."

And in a moment, the first fight of the day.

 Welcome to the second week of Clash of Blades - Doubles! There has been several changes from last week, so please be sure to have the Informational at the ready!
Another soft reminder to NOT use outside items. Please use only the items purchased in the Event Shop.

  Hide contents

 

• First, character set up! A lot of sheets and stats were hidden from us last week which made policing stats and checking numbers difficult at times as we had to reach out or sometimes use guesswork to determine what happened. This week, and for all other weeks, we are requiring you to link your Clash of Blades stat sheet in your opening post. Failure to do so could potentially result in a forfeit, and loss on your record.
• Second, initiative has been altered! Each player will get 1 initiative roll each. The player with the highest roll will act first. Then whoever on the other team has the highest roll will go second. Then the other two will go off, alternating between teams. Following an ABAB pattern. Example:

  Hide contents

Kindling and Minako are on Team A
Alkor and Zelrius are on Team B

Kindling rolls a 17, Minako a 6, Alkor a 15, and Zelrius a 7.
Kindling won, and goes first, followed by Alkor who rolled the highest on his team. Minako next, followed by Zelrius.

In addition to the turn order, we are no longer allowing people to reuse their initiative rolls for combat. If you are the last roll, and win the initiative we will allow you to use the same post but not the same roll. You will need to re-roll to attack.

• Third, please make mention of your dinner date! This is Valentine's Day after all! No matter how awkward it may have been or romantic it is please lean into these themes and Role-Play to your hearts content. ~♥

Koga had dutifully informed her he was taken. The lights were dimmed, romantic music was playing. Yue Hua told him she wasn't going to dump the candles and roses, this was the prettiest dinner she had been to in a while, and would likely be in -- ever, unless she changed her type. She was certain neither Dexter nor Corvo had a single romantic bone in their body, as nice as their other bones were for other purposes, and she was un-certain that she had a shot with Telrenya. So, dinner was set up for some play at a romance, but their talk revolved around strategy. It was nothing worth putting in the papers but at least they established a comfortable camaraderie.

Enough so that they were mutually indifferent to the theme(?) being marriage(???). They were here to duel. That was what this entire affair was about. Why were there priests present?

"Comrade!" Yue Hua said hotly as the opposing pair were called onto stage. "Let's beat those two up and show 'em size doesn't matter."

Her hair flicked upwards at her swift about-face and she strolled into the ring with the same unassuming air she had in her first fight. Perhaps they were supposed to put on a show befitting the venue. Yue Hua hadn't considered that; she was a fighter, not a performer. But she at least faithfully matched her partner's pace, ensuring that they entered side by side, presenting a united front. She also tried to get rid of any hang-ups that may threaten their teamwork. "I don't hit cats," Yue Hua clarified her introduction to Koga in mild horror. "I helped tame my guildmate's cat. At no point did I ever consider hitting it."

She missed Firefly and her cat. She missed them both so much. She was going to knock out Team Knockers so she could go home.
