it's the ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny)

[captainobnoxious]

Thursday.

The day that'd been so longingly awaited since the meeting on Monday by both combatants.

The tables in the dining hall have been pushed to the walls for seating, everyone's had a paper shoved beneath their door alerting to them to the evening event, and anyone who had any business there suddenly does not. Seriously, those papers are like littered everywhere, unless you're not coming there's no way you didn't know there was something tonight.

On one side of the room is Sigrun with her weapon of choice: a pike she got from the vending machine a little bit ago, practicing her handling of it with a grace that remarks upon her life of combat experience, a quiet seriousness to her that's rarely seen. Her focus is on the opponent on the other side, twenty or so feet away, the clinking gears ever rolling.

Colress and Klinklang are also concentrated on what's about to go down, the man talking quietly to his Pokémon, all too ready to show the strength of the creature off to Sigrun. They'd been becoming reused to each other, Colress learning just what his frankly new friend (at least in evolution) could do, since that challenge put forth by the woman, and it's with confidence that the three now face each other, the air heavy with anticipation.

Let's fight.

Sigrun!

[Yosuke jogs over, eyes huge]

That was intense!

[captainobnoxious]

[Oooh, it's Yosuke. She saw him and Black hanging. Good.]

It was! I had soooo much energy pent up and it felt so good it just let it out. Especially since last week no one took up the fight to the finish deal.

[garudynamic]

Well yeah of COURSE no one did!

[He huffs, but his energy is still good, and he grins]

But spars are fine. You looked like you were having fun.

[captainobnoxious]

And I absolutely was. It was totally super cool awesome!! And the tag team work between the two was just something else entirely! Honestly, I really wanted to go at it with my hands too, but I do not want to get my fingers chewed up by a bunch of gears.

[They are much more useful to her intact. But listen. An Ursaring or something? Absolutely would go unarmed.]

[garudynamic]

Yeah, I don't blame you. It kinda looks like some of the things I fought back home but no WAY I'd go at it without my knives.

[captainobnoxious]

What other kind of things did you get at back there? [In the other world place, maybe? Something like that.

... But honestly considering the world she's from she doesn't doubt there's just things around that require knives. So.] Tell me, tell me!

[garudynamic]

Well, they were all Shadows. But that's like a... species? I guess? I'd explain but it's pretty complicated. But they could look like pretty much anything. Some were things like animals, there there were just floating mouths, and tanks, and.... giant muscle men in underwear.

Look, it was weird okay?

[Not even getting into things like his OWN Shadow]

[captainobnoxious]

No weirder than the trolls I face back home!

[... mostly... none of them have underwear... and none are machines... but the bottom line is that weird is what she's entirely too used to]

You're stronger than you look if you can fight those things. Mind if I take a shot at you too sometime? I'll lay you flat on your back.

[garudynamic]

I dunno about that. I AM pretty fast.

[captainobnoxious]

That sounds like a challenge if I've ever heard one. We can put a nice little bet on it too if you're confident enough!

[She will get Black into a dress if it kills her.]

[garudynamic]

A bet? What do you got in mind?

[captainobnoxious]

So. You look pretty nice in a skirt.

[Let's start off there.]

If I win, we put you in one of those dresses the shrimp's got for a day. If you win... Well, you can decide that. How's about it?

[garudynamic]

Wait, you saw that?!

[Well you left it in the open, Yosuke]

[captainobnoxious]

Actually.

[She's pulling out something from a bag at her side to show him.

She's got the damn picture.]

I was told to do this fairly. So? Wanna lay your manhood on the line?

[garudynamic]

Wait, you've been PLOTTING TO PUT ME IN A DRESS?!

[captainobnoxious]

Only since yesterday.

[garudynamic]

That's enough! Fine, you're on! A guy has his pride, you know?!

[FIGHT HIM]

[penduli]

[ noo o oo oooooooooooooooooooooo ]

[captainobnoxious]

[SHE'S GONNA GET TWO BOYS IN DRESSES.]

That's the spirit, lazybones! [You get a nice hard part on the back.] I'll gladly take you down! I already have the shrimp on my list first, but I'll move you up one so we can get it done quick. Just let me know when you're ready to show off those legs of yours.

[garudynamic]

How do we wanna do this? I don't wanna accidentally like, stab you.

And I don't need a dress to show off my legs.

[LOOK HE MEANS HIS SICK BATTLE MOVES, SHUT UP?]

[captainobnoxious]

Stabbing's nothing. I'm sure the doctor wouldn't like to see it, but I don't mind going for first blood.

[aka just try it]

Or until one of us is unable to battle somehow. Like if I pin you down and you would've "died" in real combat. I'm fine with both styles.

[garudynamic]

I'll be honest, I can't hand to hand worth a shit. Not against someone trained anyways.

[At least he's honest]

So I guess first blood is fine as long as we're careful.

[Bruce is gonna be so mad]

[captainobnoxious]

[Honesty is the second best policy.

Embellishment and suicidal confidence is better though.]

Cool. I'm doing it that way with Cherry too, so it'll be fun to have a little warm up before I take on an ancient sea creature again.

[Juuust like home.]

[garudynamic]

[He'd be insulted that he's the warm up- but knowing Cherry's secret he kinda can't argue it]

Sounds good. Just let me know when and where and I'll be there.

[amygdalae]

[BRUCE VERY MUCH DOES NOT WANT TO SEE THIS.

ALSO I HOPE YOU TWO HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS OUT OF HIS FIELD OF HEARING BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE'S GIVING THE BOTH OF YOU VERY POINTED LOOKS RIGHT NOW.]
