[Clash Of Blades Season 1] Week 4: Kiru v Koga

[Minako 0]

Minako stood high above the small arena. It was a town square repurposed into a place where people could fight. Instead of the usual crowd that gave out cheers and fans that showed support there was no one around. Inside this ghost town there was not a living soul, save their own. She stood on a balcony to a long abandoned town hall alongside her co host Kindling, and despite everything that had happened before she was nervous and it was showing. "L-ladies and gentlemen!" Minako stammered out. "It is with, a great pleasure, to introduce today's most gracious host!" She called out to no one but the participants. Behind the building, lighting flashed in the storm clouds above, briefly revealing a shape within them. "Our wonderful benefactor for this evening, Emrakul." Minako said as it descended from the sky. A mass of tentacle and carapace descended from the clouds, unimaginable horror that couldn't be described. It spoke in loud combination of voices, directly into everyone's mind.

Clutching the side of her head, Minako waited for the 'voice' to subside. "Very well, Lord Emrakul." Minako said, the pain in her head subsiding. "In this match we have Kiru and Koga." She said, not her usual self. "Begin your contest!" Minako shouted.

Welcome to the Fourth week of Clash of Blades - March Madness begins! This month will include a host of whacky, and absurd thematics, this week's honing in on MADNESS. 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.

Thematic Explanation

Every turn players will be assaulted by the unnaturalness of the arena, and forced to steel their mind lest they go mad. On every post, no matter the action, must come with a ‘Madness’ Roll. On a CD of 6 or lower you gain 1 Madness.
Upon gaining your third Madness, you suffer from <Going Mad>. Consult the table below of which Full Post Action you take, then lose all Madness.

Note: The effects of going mad are instant, going after self healing and before main actions. Madness and Going Mad CANNOT be cured with cleanse abilities or items.

CD Roll	Effect
1 -2	Unequip current weapon
3-4	Use ST-1 or ST-2
5-6	Use an Item of your choice if no items, pass turn
7-8	Use the <Rest> Main Action
9-10	Become Stunned. Ignores immunity, does not reset immunity
11-12	Break Free of your Madness, No Effect

This arena was different. Overall the vibe was exclusive in the arena, given that I could barely see ahead of me. A couple of years ago, this place might have made me nervous- but now it excited me. This tournament was a test to myself and others in a way. This week's match did not have an audience, and my performance was not being watched. The seclusion of the arena made someone line me even more dangerous- stealth was something I used to pride myself in. A small exhale escaped my mouth as Minako began their announcement, "what's wrong with them?" 

Then, something appeared from the sky. It was disgusting. Suddenly, a voice tore through my head. I flinched, but realized the voice was the reason Minako was acting strange and probably why there was no audience. It affected me in a peculiar way. I was trying so hard to remove the voice from inside of my head that by the time I snapped out of it, the creature was gone, as well as Minako and her assistant. I put myself in as much of a defensive position as possible.

Well today's arena was entirely different from the dusty coliseum that Koga had become accustomed to. Also different was the fact that he had a different announcer today. Instead of the red-haired loudmouth that Koga had expected, a rather meek-sounding brunette girl spoke to the empty stands with a shaking voice. Was the red-haired dude holding her at gunpoint or something? What was going-

"Oh...Eldritch horrors. Nice," Koga deadpanned as he looked up at the swirling mass of void and tentacles. Koga would have to make an offering to Hermaeus Mora or something if he didn't go any crazier after today's bout.

Across the arena, Koga's opponent slightly readied herself, settling into a stance without a single word. Not even a nod of acknowledgement or a friendly fist bump. Did no one respect pre-fight manners anymore?

Well, Koga did, so he politely bowed before drawing his sword. In his hand, the wavering, milky stone he'd bought from the preparation store ran along the length of his blade as he drew it, the entire length beginning to waver and shift as he gave it slight flourish, before settling back into a low guard.

Your move, mystery girl.
