[Clash of Blades Season 1] Week 6: Koga v Pollux

[Minako 0]

Minako's breath hung in the air as she rubbed her gloved hands together. The snow covered lands of floor four made for an interesting contest, at least in comparison to Kindling's fire infused floor four floors up. She couldn't help but wonder how he was doing? Were the contestants behaving? It didn't really matter too much, she knew that he could handle himself. After all, he was going to be the one who saved everyone. And if that was the case, he could handle a few rowdy people here and there. Putting her own mind at ease, she stepped closer to the edge of the ice and snow filled pit. It was a small section of packed down snow, surrounded by a poles and ropes to separate the various people sitting in attendance. The show had only grown larger at this point, with the crowd outsizing the quaint arena. Fans who had found their favorite champion had begun to follow them from floor to floor and getting choice seating so they could see the contest all that much clearly. Fans of every person where here, placing their own bets with each other, and cheering and jeering each other.

Minako stepped out, nearly sliding and falling over. Catching herself and playing it off for show caused the crowd to laugh and give polite applause as she adjusted herself before speaking. "Good evening everyone! I'm so happy that everyone here was able to brave the cold and come out this evening!" She said, thanking everyone. "And everyone, be sure to enjoy your complementary Kindling Hand Warmers! Make sure that if it gets too cold you let anyone of the Fans know and they'll take care of you!" She said, motioning for he crew of die hard fans to wave their arms and alert the crowd. Last thing she wanted was someone getting frostbite who wasn't meant to.

"For our match this evening, we have Koga!" Minako said, introducing the man. "And in this corner, we have Pollux!" She said introducing them. "Alright combatants, same rules as last time! And-"

"Clash!"

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the Sixth week of Clash of Blades - Fire and Ice! This week's thematic is fairly simple; you're worrying about the cold! You'll be under the effect of Frostbite which is tied to your energy! You'll gain 1 slot of Frost Aura and Frost Thorns, and gain Vulnerability (Take 16 unmitigatable damage when struck with a Sword Art). When missing 30 or more energy, double the previous effects!

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.

Spoiler

• Please remember to LINK your Spreadsheet, and triple check that all your stats are correct. Failure to do so before the actual combat begins will result in a loss by default. Going forward, we will be taking a much more hardline stance on this rule. The reason for that is out of respect for the time and energy of the hosts, and your fellow participants. 
• TECH-A is disabled this week, and cannot be used. Get your stuns and CC somewhere else!

She was tired, cold, and suddenly angry. She stepped into view when her name was called, and at the audience's scattered cheers, she [remembered again] and looked up, glaring, as she tried to search for the culprit of half her current emotional state.

It wasn't even a person, was the salt to the wound.

Yue Hua spotted Wulfrin instead and the bitterness in her expression evaporated. She thought of waving around her reforged silver sword, but soon found that the most she could manage in the moment was draw it out of its sheath. She settled for a small, put-upon smile.

"And--"

Minako's hand raised. The next word would have resounded through the arena even without the aid of a mic.

"Clash!"

Twenty seconds to match start, Yue Hua faced Koga. Their teamwork in the doubles event had been flawless and he had been a pleasant friendly date. Koga deserved more than the silence she had given Kiru. She tried and tested different combinations of words in her mind, but where once her chatter had occurred naturally, anything she thought to say now felt dull and forced.

Stop being a downer. You were looking forward to this match.

This is supposed to be fun.

Ten seconds to match start. Yue Hua nearly spat the words in her rush to say something. "Comrade! Do you--" She halted, embarrassed by her own outburst, cleared her throat, and tried to speak the rest with her usual ease. "Former comrade. For symmetry's sake, shall we get lunch after this? Lunch and... hot drinks...? I feel that we would both appreciate it after fighting in this weather."
