DAY ONE - THE FENCING.superciliousMay 12 2011, 02:05:12 UTC
[ The arena for fighting is large, and lined with stands for watchers and supporters. Opportunistic Natives walk the crowds offering food and beverages at twice the cost of their market price. Off to one side, the medical tent. To the other, the chest that supposedly contains first prize sits on display, beneath the board that keeps track of today's fights. Currently it reads:
Desmond v Ezio Rex v Kay Break v Isley Gau v Kaien Asellus v Fai Noel v Irene ]
DAY ONE - SOME OF THE FENCING - Noel v IrenehalcyonthirdMay 12 2011, 19:25:53 UTC
[There's an ease about her stance - a fluid, calm as she parries. If she's concentrating, it's difficult for a bystander to tell. Noel is fast, but she is faster.
Another parry, then?
Will you get a hit in, former Number Five? Perhaps if I were fighting the former Number Four...
It is completely possible that the slight smile on her lips suggests what she's thinking.]
Re: DAY ONE - Fai v AsellusreflectedstasisMay 12 2011, 22:37:40 UTC
[Of all the people Fai could have been pitted against, he had not expected to be facing a child he actually knows to some degree, much less one he actually kind of... likes.
Enough for him to slide from a more battle-ready mindset to that of someone who was simply looking forward to a bit of training.
So he smiles at her and rests the tip of his daggertail sword in the dirt as he faces her.]
Asellus-chan. It's a pleasant surprise to see you here. Let's do our best, okay?
Re: DAY ONE - THE FENCING Gau vs. Kaienbecoming_gauMay 12 2011, 23:23:39 UTC
[Never mind how amazing Gau's opponent is compared to him. The teen stands straight and... well, short, but straight... his attitude showing neither cockiness nor fear.
After all, he's thrown himself straight at 'certain death' several times in his life, died once, and ... well, he's not really at a point where he's scared of anything.
And this game isn't life or death.
So the young man exudes an air of calm, dressed in light padded armor (decorated with a Shimizu family crest) for the fencing.
DAY ONE - nonno v the babbymanscruffMay 13 2011, 02:58:28 UTC
[ ever have those days where it's just not bene? this might be one of them.
NOT THAT YOU CAN TELL, at least, not by looking at his expression. he's as chill as ever and, while normally there's that business with the hood that keeps you from seeing his actual face, today is not one of those days. it's sketchy, yeah? even among all of the... shenaniganery going on today. the robes stay, though. he needs them. for strategic purposes. all that fabric is distracting, you know? separate parts moving on their own time, keeping opponents from being able to tell when he's moving or going to move-- not that he doesn't already move a lot. staying on your toes, and all that good stuff.
desmond knows all this because he is a fucking mooch, but the average person don't, so shut up.are we describing armor? because he's gone pretty light-- didnt' have enough time to grab much more than bracers and his pauldron. (the robes are a lot of layers to put on, okay?) the usual sword, altair's nice one that he hasn't returned because, well. why should he

Primer día - Rex vs. KaynaniteknightMay 13 2011, 04:39:00 UTC
[Dressed in some minimal, lightweight borrowed armor, Rex hefts the sword he's been loaned, trying to get a feel for the weapon. It's a far enough throw from his usual blade that it leaves him feeling the slightest bit awkward. Not a great feeling, but damned if he'll show it!]
[His opponent is someone he is not at all familiar with. Leveling his gaze at Kay, Rex grins and readies himself. This may be a lot closer to a friendly sparring match than a fight to the finish, but the young EVO isn't about to let himself get beat.]
Ready when you are, buddy. I wanna see what you've got!
Desmond v Ezio
Rex v Kay
Break v Isley
Gau v Kaien
Asellus v Fai
Noel v Irene ]
