We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[FPSfanatic]

The predator spoke as they walked. "Our first permanent home in years. You can feel the buzz of excitement. The people are cheering for it, the idiots. They think we'll hold it. Dikuts all of them. We'll get scraped off by the locals because one who kills is afraid of a programmer. Dikut." He stopped speaking when they arrived at the circular structure. "Alright, enter. Take the sword they give you. Use only the sword. Understand? You won't get your antidote otherwise."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness raised an eyebrow before nodding and dispelling her magnums. A programmer...? And they made contact with that giant ship? Impressive, at the very least... "Understood." She entered in, cautious and slightly anxious.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Ness would find herself in a pit reminiscent of ancient Romes coloseums. It had a simple dirt floor, and two doors, one where she entered and one opposite. Sitting in the center was a small stone block with two sword hilts sitting in it. The other door opened and an old predator with silver dreads walked in, his mask coated in light acid burns. Without hesitation he walked forward to the block, and stood waiting for Ness.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness calmly walked up to the other side of the block and silently nodded toward the predator. "My name is Vanessa Sinclair. May I ask you yours before we fight?"

 

[FPSfanatic]

The old predator examined Vanessa lightly, before saying "Jo'ti Noz'li." He waited a moment, then bowed to Ness, deeply. "Not many would take up arms against me after seeing what my poison did. I acknowledge your bravery, Va'Nessa Sin'Clair."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness returned Joti's bow with a curtsy of her own before pulling out the sword on her side of the block. She brought it down to her right side with a flourish. "Thank you for that, Joti. But someone who's life is important to me on the line. There's no room for me to be scared."

 

[FPSfanatic]

The moment ness pulled out the sword, it acted strangely. The blade warped itself, and bent at a 90 degree angle, looking like a baton, razor sharp on one end. Joti chuckled and pulled his own blade, resting it against his arm blade out. "You sound like my sun, Va! You should speak with him some day, if you survive."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nodded slowly before taking one last look at the blade. Like a tonfa...? "I'm not sure he'd be happy to talk to the person who killed his father."

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Bah, this is simply a manner of honor. He has killed before, and understands the feelings that burden the mind with it. He know that my death would burden you more then his words or blade ever would." The predator stopped speaking for a moment to chuckle, a deep roiling sound. "Besides, he had a chance to scold you, and simply spoke to you. I am quite proud of him." With that, Joti took a step back, arm holding Maul at guard for Ness's first strike.

 

[DotSlash]

...So that was him... She nodded before rushing in a zig-zag pattern and sweeping her blade at his feet from right to left.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Joti hopped back before spinning the blade and jabbing it at her, acting as the world's most awkward to hold knife.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness swung her arm up to parry the stab then spun around to slash at Joti's extended arm. Afterward, she rolled backward a bit to gain some distance.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Joti swung his new knife out to hit Ness's weapon away from him, before spinning it to its baton form and following after Ness, slashing down at her stomach.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness skidded back slightly as she blocked Joti's strike. She spun around before taking the back end of her weapon and stabbing at his sides.

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC oh dear god its four in the morning. I need sleep. You okay with a time bubble?
Joti was too slow to block the side stab, so instead he slashed underneath Ness's arms at her ribs.

 

[DotSlash]

@FPS: Sure.

Ness quickly pulled her blade out and spun with the momentum to try and avoid the slash at her ribs. Joti's blade would catch a small bit of her as she stood back up straight to face him.

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC okay... And, Time bubble active! Night. I'll put in a response to Ness's stab in the morning.

 

[Captain Anon]

OOC: ok well i'm to go help the rookie then

"thank you i'll try my best to" John said turned around to leave but stopped hearing the Rookie's SOS over a radio *crap* he thought before running and continuing to run to where the Rookie got ambushed

 

[Furioso]

Envy, disguised as Black, was now searching for wherever the circus had made camp to the north of Holadino

 

[Wackymon]

The Kid walks by the odd gal, looking her over. He asks her where she's from.
