[PP-F1] Another Day, Another Member

It was a dual of sorts. A two on one match that put her at the disadvantage. She would be up against two battle hardened players and needed to land three hits. She had her spear, and shield, and they were bare handed. She was unsure what to make of this scenario. "If your sure." She said taking a step back and pointing her spear at the pair. It almost seemed like a death sentence, after all she had killed the Gemini in one hit. "Alright. I wont hold back then." She said bending her knees as she pulled her arm back waiting for the system to catch.

She pulled back a little further and felt the click. A wicked smile crossed her lips as she launched her attack, allowing the system to carry her forward. She streaked towards the pair with a Focused Strike Primarily directed at Mack. He was larger than Shirosu, not to mention he was her new guild leader. She hoped he might Respect her choosing to strike him first. As she neared she realized a critical error in her attack, that she was off target by a few inches. AS she sailed past him she tried to spin, raising her shield to try and protect her from any retaliation.

As Red came in for her attack, Mack took a half step to the side. The woman, instead of just barely missing or even hitting him for all the burly Grandmaster could tell, missed by a wide margin. Reaching out with one enormous hand, he snared the woman by the scruff of the neck of her armor and hauled her up off of the ground. Holding Red there in the air with his left hand, the enormous man drew his right fist back and sent it speeding towards Red's face. Only to stop about an inch in front of her nose.

"I'm not actually going to hit you," Mack said with a deep laugh, then he beeped Red on her nose. But that failed to produce the desired effect in terms of removing a health point in the ongoing duel. "Hmm, I guess this will have to do." Lowering Red just slightly he wrapped his right arm around her, and then his left and enfolded her in a crushing bear hug. The bear of a man squeezed and squeezed until he felt the prick of Red's thorns enchantment all along his body, which told him he succeeded in quite literally crushing a single health point out of her. That done, he promptly released the woman back to the ground.

"Your armor tickles."

Shirosu grinned as Mack gave poor Red his customary man handling, much the same had happened to her, except that she had poked by her own weapon, not fun. After the mountain of a man released a slightly crushed Red Shirosu made as if to approach the women, but before she could take more then two steps , she very, unprofessionally, fell flat on her face, all thanks to one stinking root sticking out of the ground, she swore the stupid system was going to murder her one day by tripping. And now, she was pretty much a perfect target, with a few curse words at some invisible god She tried to get to her feet as fast as she could hoping she wouldn't end up a spear kabob.

Red was caught off guard by the sudden grasping hand pulling her up by the scruff of her armor. The sudden change in momentum was probably a bigger shock than the hit she was expecting. She closed her eyes in anticipation, but when no strike occurred she carefully opened them to find Mack had his hand just in front of her face, before gently bopping her on the nose. Before Red could say or do anything he pulled her into an impressive strong armed hug, and slowly increased the pressure until a single point of health ticked free. He released her now, taunting that her thorns had tickled him. She had wanted to say something, but knew there was still someone else here, another fighter who was fast and accurate. She would prepare for the attack and make her words clear in her retaliation.

In a flash Shirosu broke free, and in almost the same moment she found the floor as well, tripping over a large out of place root. It had been oddly stretched out, but still seemed to render a purpose. Now though was her chance to strike. Land three blows, tha'ts what Mack had told her to do. Just three. If there were a third opponent this would have been easier, but alas there were only two. With Shiroau, still recovering Red took a few steps back before jumping forward at the pair, swinging her spear in a massive Arch. She was doing a Haymaker. A wide Radius AOE attack, that would be beneficial in landing two solid hits.

Her spear, though basic in nature, lit up magnificently as she swung in with her attack. It had been so fast that she could hear the blade cutting the air befor she heard the thud of it impacting first with Mack, and then with Shirosu. As she came to the end of her swing she stepped back again raising her shield knowing full well that the pair would probably not hold back now. "Thats two." She said triumphantly as she peeked out from behind the shield.

OOC: Amusingly, if you land another AOE attack… that’s three hits and you win. I hadn't considered that strategy either.

“Not bad,” Mack said, clapping his hands sarcastically and slowly beginning to circle to Red’s right as he directed Shirosu to circle to the shield bearing woman’s left. It would be interesting to see how the budding tank handled the divided attention that would be required to keep both him and Shirosu in her field of vision. Grey eyes narrowing, Mack watched and at the first sign of indecision on the part of the tank, he exploded into a flurry of motion with such speed that it didn’t seem possible that a man of his size could move that quickly.

In one swift and fluid motion he wrapped a hand around the edge of Red’s shield and shoved it aside, ignoring the sting of the thorns that were a part of the enchantments on her armor. With his free hand he jerked the spear from her hand and jabbed the weapon, point first, into the dirt. Disarmed, and well inside the guard of the smaller fighter’s shield, Mack grinned down at his unarmed prey. “Give us another great big hug,” he boomed, suiting action to words by scooping Red up into his arms in a second bone crushing bear bug, squeezing another point off of her health bar before freeing her with a soft toss and placing himself between Red and her spear.

Shirosu actually giggled as Mack scooped up Red into his arms for another physically crushing hug, clear enjoying crushing the poor girl. She bounced on the balls of her feet, stalking around the blonde haired women, her eyes narrowing in an attempt to pinpoint the best moment to attack. Seeing Reds back side she sprinted forward fast as a snake to give the girl as hard a shove as she could. But when she connected to her dismay she didn't do a single point of damage,"Shoot!" she said backing off, guess her strength wasn't good enough for a single blow, she would have to hit the women harder next time with a sheepish grin she sighed," And i thought that would be enough,"

Red Staggered a little as she released from the massive arms of Mack. Perhaps there was something about these massive hugs, as now she felt dizzy and winded. Was that even possible in SAO? Regardless, she stumbled about for a moment. This didn't last long as the sound of Shirosu's rapidly approaching footsteps alerted her to another attack. Just like in a real fight, there was no time to catch ones breath. Red slammed down her leg, and braced her shield into her stomach, using it as a support of sorts. She knew there was no time to turn, without leaving herself vulnerable, so for now she would settle on not being knocked down.

A moment later she felt the girls hands connect with her back. Luckily though with herself braced the way she was, not only did she not move, but she did not lose a point of health. She had stood her ground and deflected the attack using her own strength. She felt a sudden burst of pride as she stood still unbeaten against her two opponents, and in that misguided moment she decided to strike.

Red lashed out quickly at Shirosu with a Focused Strike But in her hurry she had not managed to orient herself properly. Her strike went far wide, leaving anyone to wonder just what it was she was attacking. "..." she cursed loudly, before correcting her stance and preparing for the next hug that would be coming her way.

((OOC: "..." For that, fil it in with the four worst words you can think of. They don't have to make sense))

“You have to at least put enough force into it to mean it,” Mack called, chastising Shirosu as the silver-haired teen darted forward and gave Red what amounted to a pretty sad Texas shove. Red retaliated by swinging wildly at a passing butterfly. It was really hard to guess why the blonde woman felt that the fluttering insect deserved to die. Nonetheless, it did provide an opening that Mack was only too happy to exploit. Darting forward as Red had her back to him, the red-headed man wrapped two massive arms around her waist and hauled her up off of the ground again.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever heard those words used in that fashion before… inventive. I’m starting to think you like these hugs though,” Mack said in a playfully thoughtful tone, pressing Red tight against his chest with his left hand a second before the knuckles of his right hand found the top of her blonde head. “NOOGIE!”

Shirosu broke out laughing as Mack placed his knuckles upon the poor women's scull and gave her a noogie of a lifetime, it was hilarious. When Mack was done ruining Red's hair Shirosu sprinted towards the girl ready to get a decent amount of damage this time. She wasn't strong like Mack so practical little jokes wouldn't work for her, she had to go all out. With Red upright Shirosu lept up and drop kicked the women, with a solid smack her hard boots connected with poor women's side sending her to the ground hard. With a little big of agile help Shirosu landed on her feet and saw that she had actually did damage with that hit,"Ok red!" she called" Its a 50/50 chance now! good luck!"

Before Red could think she was snapped up by Mack again. He pulled her in tight, but this time applied his fist to her scalp in a Noogie. Red screamed in frustration as she struggled to get free, but found the attempt to be in vain, he was just too strong. That however did not stop her from squirming and fighting anyways. "..." After a moment or so she was finally released, or perhaps she struggled free, she couldn't tell. All she knew was that her was a mess. Red staggered for a moment, frustrated and disoriented from the recent attack, But even in this state she found no respite, as a swift kick to her side sent her to the ground.

The little tank hit the ground with a thud rolling over her sides and onto her hands and knees. She coughed as she looked up to see both Mack and Shirosu. stood above her. She needed to win this, to prove her strength, but she was angry now, she needed to win, just for the sake of winning. She was not about to lose to another Noogie. So far though she had been unable to escape Macks, grasp, and Shirosu seemed to have found her stride so she wouldn't last another volley from either. The question was who would get her wrath.

In a flash Red got to her feet, leaving her spear on the ground where she had been, as she charged towards Mack. He had attacked her in a joke of a fashion so far, so now she would show him the error of his ways. The gap between the two closed quickly, and in the final second she took a leap into the air aiming for the Red haired mountain. As she flew through the air she curled up, placing her feet on the underside of her shield, and in the final moment she stretched kicking her shield hard into Macks chest. The effect had been that of a drop kick, but rather than her feet, it had been her shield that had been the point of contact.

Red hit the ground with a thud on her back, and the shield landed with a clatter. "Three... Thats three." She huffed heavily as she rolled over onto her hands and knees to get up onto her feet again. "That is the shield kick... Patent pending." She continued to huff as she walked over to where her shield lay, and picked it up gingerly. She dusted it off before putting it back on her arm, and rotating her shoulder awkwardly. "So, I win?"

[Mack 0]

Mack grunted as the shield was propelled into him by Red with as much force as the considerably smaller woman could muster. The red-headed man rolled his head around on his neck and considered the blonde for a moment. "Yes, I suppose that does mean that you win. But, now we need to figure out what that means," he continued in a low rumble, vaguely stroking his chin. "Losers get tossed over my shoulder and hauled into town to the hoots and howls of their guildmates. It's a rite of passage sort of thing... no one's ever won before. Shirosu didn't win, though she did enjoy being manhandled," Mack continued in a pensive tone. "Thoughts? Maybe you should carry me into town? That would look ludicrous, and probably quite amusing."

[Shirosu 0]

Shirosu grinned and let out a low whistle as Red totally ploughed into Mack with the force of a freight train, she was too wimpy to do that. "Nice hit rose, i'm just glad that wasn't for me!" she said leaning into one of her legs and resting her hands on her hips, staring at the women appraisingly. "I did NOT! enjoy being manhandled!" she yelled in anger at her gild master spinning on her heels, her eyes spelling murder if he mentioned it again. "I wouldn't do it red" she advised the other women,"He's heavy"  she thought for a few moments and said"The winner gets to choose their form of punishment, within reason, to inflict upon the loser, or in this case, losers"  It seemed like a sound enough proposition.
