Come out, Grasshopper!

[Kazmiz]

"So...will you come out? I want to place you into one of my stories."

*I reach inside my robes and pull out a piece of parchment, completely blank, save for a few lines written on the the upper half. The lines read: "...and so, the death god walked into the shadows and called out its name, waiting for an answer." I place the piece of parchment upon the ground and look into the shadows.*

If I lose, the story will be short. I need more characters.

[analog]

*Comes out from the shadow as he sees a fellow shinigami to fight beside*

"I'll fight beside you, I don't like short stories. Bring on the grasshopper."

*Stands next to his new ally ready for the grasshopper to appear*

[AznPoi]

You guys realize you are in hollow's outpost...

You guys should have Hollow characters.....

[analog]

(OOC: @aznpoi no were renegade shinigami so we are supposed to be here)

[Kazmiz]

*I glance towards my new companion and smile faintly. Words suddenly start to appear on the surface of the parchment: "The second death god looked ready to begin, but Uryuu doubted that the upcoming battle would be an easy one."*

When the blood starts to pour...please let it be someone else's.

"Now...we wait."




((@anzpoi: hollows and renegade shinigami make up one team, the hollow outpost is also our terf))

[Hattori]

A chittering arises from the darkness like the scrape of wood against chalk. From the north-eastern quadrant of the Arena, a dim blue glow begins to form, shining like a horde of mirrors in the empty dark.

A grotesque monstrosity of Hollow flesh and Shinigami bone, it strides on four ungainly legs towards its targets. Two scintillating orbs the size of grapefruits protrude from its head, and wavy feelers from its mouth. A ripped and shattered Hollow mask swings precariously off the side of its face, and its mottled carapace is studded with various bite- and claw- marks. It is said that Ming imprisoned the soul of a thief inside this mek for fifty years of penanace. When it is destroyed, it re-forms itself once transported back to its containment cell.

From the hungry darkness, a blur of verdant green appears, fangs glistening like tusks against the shadow.

The beast turns on unsteady legs and then, with an unnatural vitality, springs towards Uryuu, its mandibles working up a vicious storm of froth. It bares it three-foot fangs and savagely attempts to disembowel its foe.

((Good, because otherwise you would have been slaughtered. Kaze's turn now.))

Struck three times, the Grasshopper roars as blood sprays from its damaged eye like a geyser. The shining blue dims to a sullen gray and a mandible drops to the ground. Viciously, it turns to face its tormenter.

Shirking back as a blade punctures its other eye, the Grasshopper, cornered, chitters nervously. Blood glows dimly like rust on its tusks as it slowly backs away from its opponents.

And your attack.

After post: 5 hits total on Grasshopper. The beast is slain.

HP: -5

With a sputtering shriek, Grasshopper crumples to the obsidion floor, its blood slicking in an oval pool. A spray of crimson trails explosively from its throat and then tapers off as its bones slowly collapse in on itself, its ridged carapace sliding off the listless frame. The sound of labored breathing fills the arena as you smile grimly to yourselves. A good death.

Results: 15 EXP for the both of you

BONUS

Fight each other using all the RPing skill you have acquired over this battle. The player I judge to be the better RP will level up; the other will be knocked unconscious.

The round ends. Daigo has slain Uryuu. Evasion does not apply when one is paralyzed.

Analog: Great attempt, you've improved dramatically, though your grammar could use some help and you have some tense confusion. I felt that your statements were a bit more generic than Kaze's and oftentimes you lacked punctuation, disrupting the flow of your piece. Your decision to use Kokei and then finish your enemy with a basic attack was an excellent piece of snap-decision strategy, though luck was on your side for most of this battle. For your improvements you recieve 10 XP. You pass out from exhaustion.

Kaze_Mize: Congratulations! I felt that in general, your inner dialogue choices were more flavorful and in-character, and you possessed less grammatical mistakes than your opponent, though you had some common spelling errors (the verb form of respiration is to breathe).

Your strategy of precision over power wasn't a match for your opponent's stunning attacks, though you inflicted your fair share of damage. In the future, I suggest augmenting your defense and saves by raising your dex, investing a bit into REI in order to learn some defensive kidou techniques, increasing your attack bonus by learning kidou techs that either weaken your opponent's saves/EVA or increase your chances to hit, and focusing primarily on Shunpo techs. For your BONUS triumph you recieve 20 XP and are fully restored.

Winners write history. So I should leave this to him.

Next time, I'll write better.
