--------------------------

The Poet, enjoying his recent successes, decides to put on a Production. He erects a low stage in the middle of town, sets up some benches for spectators, and sits on a stool in the middle of the stage, waiting.

A sign next to the stage reads:
Watch the Poet take on an opponent of 2nd Tier!
If he wins, he becomes a Green Belt!
(Challangers welcome!)


OOC: Non-style please. That last one was exhausting!

 

[MerakSpielman]

What, no one?

 

[Knight Otu]

I'll soon be defeated by Sidhe Li, so if you don't mind to wait a bit more, I'll challenge you. (I'll edit my stats in as soon as the fight is over.)

Edit: Stats:
Shiba Temuro, Phoenix Bushi

Yellow Belt D1 - Student of the Fighting Beast Dojo
Powers: Signature Style (Manticore), Dojo Style (Sword), Fist of Fury
Record 1 - 2
Yen: 1

 

[MerakSpielman]

sure!

 

[Knight Otu]

The call is strong..., and somewhat shadowed... The Poet? He mastered the Phoenix...

(ooc: edited my stats in. Insult coming later)

 

[Knight Otu]

A young man wearing red armor as well as a katana and a wakizashi enters the town square.

"I am Shiba Temuro, samurai of the Phoenix clan. I heard about you, Merak Spielman. A great poet with a tongue sharper than many blades... And one who learned the way of the Phoenix, I can feel that. I will challenge you, here on this stage, with the words I find your Master to be hyena-like, your kingdom to be ordinary, and your philosophy to be weathered.

 

[MerakSpielman]

I see my reputation proceeds me.

The Poet looks out sadly at the empty benches he has set up.

But apparently it does not proceed me very far. I mean, we still need a judge... Maybe if I put up a sign.

The Poet wanders off briefly and changes the name of the thread.

"And now, back to business...
My philosophy WEATHERED???"

In retaliation I must relate
How unkempt are the men from your state.
When you approach I catch the smell
Of dungpiles done over medium well.
Near here I met a tramp wearing a sack
Who wants you to give his defenses back!


(I find your countrymen to be unkempt, your presence to be a infested compost pile, and your defense to be obviously stolen from an honorless tramp.)

 

[Creamsteak]

A small Kabuki Doll drops down from the sky!

"Welcome little boys, I would like to see your performance. I most certainly hope that it is a tragedy, and most certainly would enjoy it of one of you died... but alas that likely will not happen!"

The doll cackles in a strange maniacle way. It is odd that her mouth remains stiff the entire time, but you can tell there is a great deal of pent up evil inside this doll.

"I will judge this match! Ka-Ha!"

The stage transforms and takes the shape of the Ancient Master's decree:

The ancient masters have decreed this match to take place at the cemetery south-east of the Imperial Pleasure Garden on the evening of the southern cross.

I declare that Shiba Temuro has won insults, as his carry more weight! You may decide match length and type!

 

[MerakSpielman]

Odd, building a cemetary and a pleasure garden so closely together...
Though this evening favors me nicely.

So be it.

 

[Knight Otu]

"I would like a 3 flag strategy match."

(OOC: Merak, could you edit the thread title to show the strategy match type and my IC name, Temuro?)
