Kirin Samidare defeated by OXO! (Rathan judged)

[Ciaran]

A young drifter strides into the town square. His once-white clothes are grimy from travel, and his sandals are caked with dust. His ponytail swishes from side to side as he observes the villagers meandering about their daily tasks. Then, planting his fists on his hips, he shouts,

"I, Kirin Samidare, have come from Yangchow Province seeking honorable battle. Come, who will fight me?"

 

[Magic Rub]

On the far side of the town square the doors to the local tavern fly from their hinges. In a cloud of splinters & dust you can vaguely see the outline of a huge square mass pushing it's way out the door. In an impressive display of power, the taverns old wood groans with the stress of the force of the cube bulging out of its unfit doorway. The large white nearly translucent form makes it's way towards you, & stops a few feet in front of you... Looking through this abomination you can see the towns people still in the tavern behind it cowering in the hole that was once the doorway. There are no less then 15 mugs stuck within the massive cube, with any luck it may be drunk. It then leans toward you and begins to make sounds that could be likened to that of a bubbling stream or a babbling brook.

Then a small raccoon makes it's way across the town square to you from the now enlarged doorway of the tavern. It speaks to you in a thick Scottish accent...

"I find your spouse to be nonexistent, your plantation to be valueless, and your knife to be forgettable."

"It's what he's sayin' to ya... I thank OXO over there dun-na like ya'. I thank he wants te fight ya. dun-na mind me, I'm just his translator."

The raccoon then smiles at you and shrinks away to a safe distance. From the side lines the raccoon shouts...

"He also requests a 2 flags match"

 

[Ciaran]

Samidare's eyes bug out as he sees the... thing... that accepts his challenge. "WHAT?! What nonsense is this? I was to fight a man, not a giant blob of goo! This is ridiculous, disgusting, insulting... ah, whatever. Okay, you're a big glob of goo. Am I supposed to come up with something more insulting than that? All right..."

"I find your dog to be incredibly childish, your presence to be tattered, and your kung-fu to be ignorant."

(I'll also go for a two-flag match.)

 

[Magic Rub]

From the sidelines you here the voice of the raccoon...

"Aye, I am a 'Raccoon' ney a dog... there be no reason te be pullin' outsiders in te yer fight."

"Besides if ya can-nee tell what I am, maybe ye should ney be fightin' fer a living."

"I'll relay yer insult te OXO, & forget tha' ya called me a dog."

The raccoon "bubbles" out some sounds to the cube OXO, & OXO relays something back.

Again you here the voice of the raccoon...
"OXO says to do what you can wee man!, & that you should smile more it's good for your health"

The great gelatinous mound quivers & shakes, expelling the now empty mugs from his body with force. There are several loud crashes as they each, one by one, hit the ground & smash. OXO then slumps his facing side slightly away from you, & flicks one of his upper facing corners. It would seem that he has taken up some type of ready stance, & is urging you to begin. On the other hand this is just a gelatinous cube, it could mean anything...

 

[Rathan]

A man appears wearing all red.......

"I belive Kirin Samidare has the better insult and may set the conditions of this match...."

"You may begin at any time......."


OOC: You two may want a 2 flag match.... but it is now up to Kirin Samidare to pick weather it will be a standard, speed or style match....

 

[Ciaran]

Samidare bows perfunctorily. "Thank you, Elder. A standard two-flag match will suffice. It will not last long, I assure you. This gelatinous abomination will not last long against my Lotus Blossom style!"

The lotus blossom strikes with the prairie; absorbs the pain of the horn!

 

[Magic Rub]

OXO seems to bow to the man in red

OXO then widens at the base, looking not unlike an unfinished crystal pyramid, to take on his his opponents first barrage.

The wolf devours the ruins; redirects the edge of the sky!


OXO then bubbles to his raccoon companion

From the sidelines the raccoon calls out to you.

"OXO says tha' yer honesty is refreshing... OXO also says that 'it' feels fortunate te have such a seemingly honourable opponent despite yer poor manners... Oh & that ye should smile more"

 

[Rathan]

I belive the ooze's move has a slight advantage.....

Point OXO


1 Flag OXO, 1 Flag Neutral

 

[Magic Rub]

Surviving & redirecting the power of it's foe's initial attack, OXO then quickly reforms to a "natural" cubic state. Samidare's overconfidence proved to be his undoing in that last round. However OXO realizes that such an underestimation on Samidare's part will not happen again, it must act if it wishes to live.

Still wary of it's opponents true potential, OXO attempts to glide to range and release it's pseudopod, strike down Samidare, & end this battle swiftly before someone is hurt...

The claw invades the temple; protects against the descent of the body!

...the air calms in the square, not a leaf flutters, nor an eye blinks. Silence envelopes the moment, & all sounds are still, with the exception of the echoes of battle that these two combatants make.

 

[Ciaran]

Glaring at his inhuman opponent through slitted eyes, Samidare whirls through a blocking combination, followed by a two-handed gouge at OXO's rubbery flesh.

The claw assails the city; overwhelmingly wards off the cut of the venom!
