[ LOG ] - Tournament - Jeremy & Hervey VS Watari & Ernst
Juan: *comes from around the corner with a leopard following him* Hey guys, Watari's creature got replaced by another one. Any objections? Good, mail it to me. *jotting things down on his clip board before the fight begins*
Watari: *likes this better anyway and cracks his neck and knuckles* Fine with me.
Hervey: *staring like a moron at the thing, half-relieved and half-freaked out right about now* Y-you're kidding...?
Jeremy: Oh really~??? *sigh of relief*
Watari: *looks at Ernst then at Juan* I'll start off for Ernst and myself. *draws out his sword and does a few practice steps*
Juan: I said he was going to be kept on reserve, didn't I?
Hervey: ... At least he doesn't look like he can throw anybody. *looks at Jeremy pointedly, and holds out a fist lazily* ... Rock paper scissors?
Ernst: Rrr... *hopes he's not causing trouble... he was told that he'll get a chance to help out ;;;*
Jeremy: What? Ohhhh. Alright then! *holds out a fist enthusiastically*
Hervey: *paper!*
Jeremy: *scissors*
Juan: ... So does that mean the loser goes first or second?
Jeremy: Hahaha! I'm up first!!
Hervey: ....... Loser goes second. *very quickly*
Watari: *uh, yeah, doesn't care, just wants to get this over and one with* Fine. *steps up and goes into position, obviously not one to waist time*
Hervey: Yeah, that means if you screw up I'll have to save you like a dumb damsel in distress! *goes to stand next to Juan, arms crossed*
Juan: *rubs his chin* Nice metaphor, Mr. Hero...
Jeremy: You want to do that, don't you? *twitches*
Hervey: *ignoring the two of them, just waving a totally casual hand* Eheheheh, hurry up now~
Juan: *yells out* You guys can start anytime.
Jeremy: *takes his sword out ready* You can go anytime~
Watari: *nods his head and readies himself*
Watari: *makes a sudden low rush and swings up from the gliding rush*
Jeremy: *swings his sword to block the attack and gets knocked off-balance* Y-you took me seriously when I said not to go easy!
Watari: Of course.
Jeremy: Well try this one~ *uses the knock back to kick off at Watari and takes a high swing at him*
Watari: *grunts at the kick connects, but hops back with the force to lessen it* Not bad.
Hervey: *calls lazily from the sidelines* Yeah, that's the way...! *not very enthusiastic cheering his rival on*
Ernst: *just sits obediently next to Juan and Hervey*
Watari: *charges in, and at the last seconds draws his kodachi and takes a short, inside swing at Jeremy*
Jeremy: What kinda cheer is that?? *glare*
Hervey: I'm sorry I ain't a cheer-- hey, watch it! *hopes he doesn't get his ass kicked for distracting him*
Jeremy: ACK *falls down a little to dodge the attack and gets a knick*
Jeremy: That was YOUR fault.
Hervey: *facepalm* Not my fault you'd rather look at me than at him! *waves his hand at Watari* Now hurry up and fight!!
Jeremy: Oh yeah? *comes up and tries to get a hit with his sword*
Watari: *tries to block, but the awkward position lets the hit slip part of the way through*
Jeremy: See I got this in the bag, Hervey! *griiin*
Watari: *recovering in the background, glancing at Ernst to tell him to get ready just in case*
Hervey: *a little more psyched now and gives him a thumbs up* Better keep it up, pal!
Ernst: *sitting straight!*
Watari: *charges in with heavy z-cross slash*
Jeremy: *catches the fancy slash with his sword easily* I don't think so! *pushes Watari away with his foot*
Jeremy: *as Watari gets pushed, he elbows him near the face*
Watari: *snarls, shifting out of the way but getting the blow to his shoulder instead*
Hervey: *whistles* He's good, ain't he? *to Juan* And that's why he's my rival~ *kinda' proud*
Juan: ......... I'm not going to say anything.
Watari: *reaches up and grabs the elbow and pushes in to try and flip Jeremy over his shoulder and body slam him*
Jeremy: *wasn't prepared for that and ends up getting flipped and has the wind knocked out of him*
Hervey: ............ M-maybe I spoke too soon. *cringes upon seeing that, itching to fight now*
Jeremy: *stagers up, ignoring his shoulder pain* Let's see.. I can hand on a little bit more!
Juan: Are you planning on joining this fight at all, Hervey?
Hervey: I am! I ain't gonna' let him keep goin' after that takedown. *totally has his sword drawn and everything*
Jeremy: *twirls his sword up and holds it with both hands to do that signature flowing strike technique by swinging the blade up very fast from below*
Watari: *curses as he meets it at a bad angle and Jeremy catches him across the chest, rather deep*
Watari: *jumps back, clutching his chest and turns to Ernst* Sorry, you're turn. *holds out a bloodies hand*
Jeremy: *notices the change, not sure if he should switch out or not. He's never seen Ernst fight* Hey! Be ready!! *points at Hervey*
Ernst: *looks a little worried, but paws him anyway because he has to*
Hervey: *grins* Right, right. Don't get mauled, 'kay? I'm ready anytime you are, buddy! *pretty pumped after seeing that*
Watari: If you feel like you're failing, I'll come back in. *moves to go by Juan and try and dress the wound with his emergency pouch-kit*
Jeremy: *stays alert* Well, let's see how good you are, kid. *get prepared for Ernst's attack*
Ernst: *enters the arena, so to speak, and begins to transform* RRrrraaaaaaaaa---aaaaaaaaghhhhh...!!!! *falls to his knees to catch his breath for a few seconds before getting back up and... smiles* Jeremy, is it? Ah, good luck...
Hervey: ... S-seriously? We have to fight that? ... *thinks he prefers the other form* I-it's like kicking a puppy...
Watari: Puppies still have teeth. *band-aid now stuck on his wound*
Jeremy: *not sure if he can fight too seriously after he's being so polite...*
Ernst: Um, here goes... *gulps, a looks really focused on his opponent*
Hervey: *ignores Watari in favour of cheering his partner on* C-c'mon, don't let his looks phase you! Just pretend he has a mask on like that creep before!
Ernst: *keeping his eyes on his opponent, he immediately lunges towards him, ready to strike with his claw*
Jeremy: *was too busy feeling weird about attacking this kind kid, that he forgets to block and gets slashed on his arm* Er-??!!
Juan: ...Whoa.
Watari: See? Teeth. *yeah, quiet supporter*
Juan: I didn't say anything. *looks towards HERVEY*
Hervey: Teeth and a face that no one could bare hittin'. *stubbornly glares at Juan*
Jeremy: *just grabs his wound* A-ah man..! *thinking it over.......* Hervey! You fight him!!
Watari: Weapons are weapons.
Hervey: ... Wh-what!? *stares* Y-you're kidding me, right!?!
Juan: ....... *probably wouldn't want to fight either* ...Just do it, or you lose.
Jeremy: I took care of the ninja! Just go or are you chicken???
Hervey: U-ugh, fine! Don't call me a chicken, wuss! *finds himself walking onto the 'arena', sword already drawn* It's about time I got my blood running, anyway!
Jeremy: *steps out of the fighting area, looking nervous for Hervey*
Ernst: *smiles at his new opponent* A-ah, good luck to you, too! I hope your other friend is okay... *worried that he injured Jeremy*
Hervey: The blonde guy'll be fine, don't worry about him. Worry about yourself, okay?! *sounding friendlier than he wants to*
Hervey: *is a little apprehensive about fighting this kid too, so he goes for a quick slash to his elbow*
Ernst: *nods diligently* Okay! *prepared to do battle*
Ernst: Ah!! *manages to avoid the slash, but it cuts a tiny piece of the purple wrapping on his arm, which he happens to be attached to ;;;* That was close..!
Hervey: ........ *somehow feels guilty*
Jeremy: What was that? *slaps forehead*
Hervey: Sh-shut up! You refused to even fight him! *tries to look more focused now*
Watari: If you avoided that, you can get a hit. Pay him back. Go for the bandanna. *best he ran really do*
Ernst: ..!! *isn't vindictive enough to follow Watari's advice, instead he runs and slides on the ground beside Hervey, attempting to slash his upper thigh*
Watari: Not what I would have done, but pretty good.
Hervey: *blinks, caught off guard between yelling at Jeremy and Watari and being worried about hurting the kid* Wha - wait a sec! *tries to take a step back to avoid it, but ends up getting cut up there* U-ugh!
Hervey: Y-you're lucky that wasn't any higher! *looks at the cut for a sec, frowning*
Ernst: *regains his footing and ready for the next move... except he doesn't get what Hervey meant*
Jeremy: *winces seeing that* O-ouch...
Watari: *makes a - Oh, that might have hurt - sound*
Hervey: *can still move at least, so he makes a clumsy swing at Ernst, though it's stronger than the last one, since, man, that hurt like hell!*
Norma: *had popped up behind Watari really quietly* Huh? What are you people doing out here?
Watari: *looks at the little girl* Having a match.
Norma: What.. you guys just do that for fun around here- *totally freezes up when she recognizes a certain someone in the fight!*
Ernst: Wah..!! *senses Hervey's anger and wants to apologize, but perhaps dodging the attack sounds like the smarter thing to do at the moment* A-ah... you're really good..!
Jeremy: Come on come on come on! *really sweating now*
Hervey: No pressure or anything! *glares at Jer, then sees the girl* -- h-hey, who's that?
Watari: *sees Nora's alarm* Don't distract him*
Norma: *unfortunately didn't hear Watari* ERNST? What are you doing??? *worried ;_;*
Watari: *moves in front of her* Quiet, please. Distract him and Ernst runs the risk of getting even more hurt.
Ernst: *being agile, he grabs Hervey's wrist that's holding the sword, but is too distracted by a familiar voice to complete his move* ..Hu-huh?? What was..
Hervey: *seeing the momentary distraction he jerks his wrist away hard, confused* H-huh? *though he's not gonna' take a lucky break for granted*
Watari: Go to the cafe. Have some tea. I'll bring Ernst to you after. *shoos her*
Hervey: *taking advantage of his distraction even further, he feebly pushes Ernst, quickly moving back at the same time* Ahaaa~ *limping*
Norma: I- *moves away a little and puts her hands over her mouth to try and stay quiet from now on ;;*
Watari: *sort f keeps in front of her to hide her from view*
Jeremy: S-stop messing around, Hervey! *gonna have a hernia*
Hervey: G-give me a break! I almost got stabbed in the... y-y'know, okay!?!! *having difficulty standing here ;;;;*
Jeremy: Who lets themself get injured there anyway???
Hervey: Sh-shut up!! Anymore comments 'bout that and I'm gonna' kill you when I'm done here!!
Ernst: *falters back from the push - his animal instincts tell him that Norma's around, causing him to turn around by impulse and smile.....but he can't see her???* Oh... I guess she's not here... *frowns and turns to Hervey again*
Ernst: *too disappointed to keep going now* My time is running out... here I come, Hervey! *once again running towards his opponent, before he jumps high in the air and attempts to pin him if he lands right*
Hervey: Whoa-- *though he tries to sidestep the move, he’s a little slow and ends up landing on his back, his shoulder taking a really heavy thump against the ground from Ernst’s paw* -- t-tch!
Hervey: *he doesn't even bother getting onto his feet, ignoring the pain in his shoulder in favour of a heavy swing over at where Ernst landed*
Ernst: *raises his arm to block the swing with his armguard, but it ends up breaking, only causing the blow to soften and not chopping his arm off ;;;* Ah-ahh!! *falls back and surrenders to the strong pirate*
Norma: *had her hands over her eyes and finally peeks* !!!
Hervey: *seems unaware of that yell for a second, but upon hearing it he quickly lets off* Oh -- d-damn, are you alright!? *looks over to see the damage, getting up on his knees*
Watari: Well, that ends that. *sighs and goes over to see if he can do a field doctoring to Ernst*
Juan: *blows whistle* Great, guys.
Jeremy: W-we won then? *thinks he's mistaken at first*
Hervey: *looks over at Jeremy nervously, then at Juan, putting down his sword* ...?
Ernst: *feels really guilty for being distracted* I-I'm sorry, Watari... I let you down...
Norma: *walks over standing by Watari and watching* Are you okay??
Juan: *jokingly* I'll declare you two winners if you kiss each other.
Watari: *shrugs* I should have done better first half. I'm out of practice. Doing morning exercises is no substitute for real battle. Need anything bandaged? *kneeling beside him*
Jeremy: ............*seethes*
Hervey: -- I-I'll make you kiss the dirt once I get up...! *shoves himself to his feet, picking up his sword again and glaring*
Jeremy: *goes up to Hervey* Hey~ You didn't suck~
Watari: *over his shoulder* First time for everything.
Ernst: N-no, I don't want to trouble you... -- Norma?? *looks up at her, so his instincts WERE right!*
Hervey: *straightens, looking at Jeremy* Yeah? Well, you weren't half-bad either, partner. *shoots Watari a dirty look* Sore loser!
Norma: *weak wave, but because she was worrying there at the last moments* H-hi.
Watari: *to Ernst* Go to the infirmary anyways. *gets up and faces Hervey and Jeremy, bowing* Thank you for the match.
Hervey: *isn't so sure what to do, looking a little out of place* ... Yeah, thanks. *holds out a hand?*
Jeremy: *... grin* I guess I picked a good rival afterall. *notices Watari* You, too, ninja dude~
Watari: *takes Hervey's hand* We should spar more. I obviously need the practice.
Norma: *still looking at Ernst* Do you want me to go with you?
Hervey: *laughs and shakes it firmly before letting go* Maybe. Last practice wasn't half-bad. *turns to Jer again for a sec* You better not have been doubting that!
Watari: Don't freak out this time if I slip inside your guard.
Jeremy: Haha, no 'cause then it'd have been an insult on myself, duh!
Ernst: *doesn't bother standing up, since he's about the become a leopard soon anyway* I could use an interpreter in the infirmary... *weak smile*
Hervey: *rolls his eyes, and then winces, Ernst's mention of the infirmary reminding him of a particular injury~* ........... Ugh. How embarassing.
Norma: *smiles back, just relieved* Of course!
Watari: Better hope there's a male doctor there. *little smirk*
Jeremy: *is now glad he didn't fight Ernst after being reminded of Hervey's injury*
Hervey: .... Luserina and Nanami work there, don't they? *sort of a half-whimper*
Watari: Yes, and I doubt you want either close to that... part of your anatomy. Nanami for obvious reasons.
Jeremy: *quiet laugh* You better get healed up. You can't fight the next round like that.
Hervey: *waves a hand nervously at the thought* Y-yeah, I'll take a look at it myself! H-haha!~
Juan: We get it, you'd prefer to have GUYS checking you out down there. *wanders off to nap in his favourite spot*
Watari: You could ask Rahal or one of the guys with a water rune.
Hervey: ............. Nope. Nah, absolutely not. Not after what he said! *determined look!*
Watari: Rahal?
Hervey: What about him? *impatiently*
Watari: Oh. I thought you meant you wouldn't ask him to help you if you don't want the girls...getting a peek.
Hervey: ......... *just looks totally annoyed now* C-can we talk about something else!? How about we go to the infirmary!? Actually, I think I'll get some drinks!
Jeremy: ..... Won't ask~
Watari: Does Rahal disturb you or something? *amuses*
Hervey: I-I don't feel like hanging around another cross-dresser, okay!?! *mumbles something totally incoherent*
Watari: Cross-dresser? Way I heard, he only did it ONCE.
Jeremy: *Hervey is getting the look after that comment*
Ernst: *in leopard form, he quietly went to the doctor ahead, while the men stand around Hervey and stare at his crotch... ;;;*
Watari: Or is it because you keeping envisioning him in a dress and find yourself liking it?
Hervey: *feeling really uncomfortable here!!!* H-hey! Happened once, okay? Once! *looks like he's about to hit Watari over the head with a stick or something*
Jeremy: Aren't you guys experiencing blood loss, yet? *THEY SURE CAN TALK*
Watari: Once? Oh, so you mean, you did find yourself attracted to a man in a dress before?
Watari: *for some reason his eyes slide over to Jeremy.....*
Hervey: Hahaha, you know what? Jeremy's right! I think I'm getting a little light-headed and dizzy here, you know???
Watari: You were just wanting to get drinks. You aren't bleeding that badly. *rolls eyes*
Hervey: *ignore!* AHAHAHA yeah we're all bleeding. Look at that! Let's go, kiddos! Infirmary!
Watari: What, it's not like you slept with the guy, is it? *being amused now*
Jeremy: *was left standing there for a sec, being weirded out by this conversation before going too*
Hervey: ........ *gone! totally gone!~*
