Merak Spielman, the Shadowed Poet's First Fight

[MerakSpielman]

The Poet acknowledges the complement with a slight nod and a faint smile and responds:

The lotus blossom tracks above the marsh; shields against the motion of the holy ground!

 

[Sabaron]

"Ooooo... a flower! Can I have the flower, Mr. Spielman? It's not just a flower... it's a Holy Defense flower, just what you needed to win the round, too. Lucky you... almost anything else would have been crushed."

1 point Merak! 1 flag Merak, 2 flags neutral.

 

[MerakSpielman]

The Shadowed Poet hands Lady Wei the Lotus with a bow, trusting Sanctus Togashi not to take advantage of his inattention.

Lady, you can try but not succeed
To hide your beauty behind a flower
For these blossoms themselves are amazed
By your charasmatic power.

He returns his attention to Sanctus Togashi

And as for you my honorable friend,
The dagger penetrates the shrine; averts the assailment of the fortification!

 

[Creamsteak]

The dagger devastates the cliff; removes the aggression of the elements!

 

[Sabaron]

ooc: What, no flavor text? There's no penalty for not including it, but it's kind of boring to read if you don't.

Lady Wei looks slightly disappointed as Sanctus Togashi lays the smack down on Merak this round.

Point Sanctus! All flags neutral.

 

[Creamsteak]

The grasshopper withers the well; averts the speed of the abomination!

OOC: It was a harsh week, and I had little time to post till today. Three sessions to run, a paper due, and college apps to fill out, so you can excuse my lack of coloring.[/color] Sanctus charges at his opponent, straight on. At the very last possible moment he jumps straight up, and his jetpack lets flames rain down on his opponent while Sanctus flies into the sky, avoiding the fast but dangerous poet. Then Sanctus drops the jetpack and falls down to the ground with a double sword-chuck stance. Then laughs at the fact that he had a jetpack and nobody noticed it until now. "I guess I'll have to replace that one..."

 

[MerakSpielman]

Merak gapes at the jetpack with amazement, muttering something that sounds suspiciously - and unpoetically - like "What sorcery is this? Well, we're all just full of surprises aren't we?" Then he remembers himself and recites:


Your hippity hops are silly in truth
Only a canine holds so aloof!
The panther tracks facing the labyrinth; dodges the violence of the canine!
You will find this move is not so benign!

 

[Creamsteak]

And then, out of nowhere, after a REALLY LONG TIME... a judge appeared... I hope

 

[Creamsteak]

And then, out of nowhere, after a REALLY LONG TIME... a judge appeared... I hope

IS THE JUDGE, OR MY OPPONENT, AROUND? IS THE JUDGE, OR MY OPPONENT, AROUND?

 

[MidKnight]

OOC: If neither of you minds, I'll step in until the return of the good Lady.

IC:
A dark cloaked form with a large brimmed hat moves close to the young Lady. He (for it is a man) whispers something to her. She smiles knowingly.

The figure does not speak, but merely points to Sanctus Togashi.

A single flag is raised in the favor of the fighter.

Point Sanctus Togashi! One Flag Sanctus Togashi, Two Flags Neutral
