(YB) Zhou Ling comes back strong for defeating Shard

[Berandor]

The marketplace is crowded in the afternoon sun. Vendors are selling their wares from shaded booths, drawing customers out of the autumn heat. On top of one shingled building lining the market place, a shadowed figure crouches low and observes the transactions.
"Meek cattle.", comes a derisive comment from her lips. All these people are unaware of her, and of their own future assource for money.

Suddenly, one person catches the ninja's attention. The person carries her/himself with strength and awareness. Someone who needs to be shown his or her place.

Who might this figure be? The ninja somesautls from the roof to come landing right before the newcomer, circling him/her like a cat. People scatter, yet do not flee, but stay to observe.

OPEN CHALLENGE TO ANY WHITE BELT!

OOC: I will be back in ~9 hours, (3.30 GMT), but I figured if I post the challenge now, I can start off right when I come home

 

[Phoenix8008]

Shard will accept your challenge!

White belt, 0-1

 

[Berandor]

OOC: Time for a quick insult

As she circles her opponent, Zhou Ling mutters under her breath.
"Weak. Pretentious. Hyena-like ktten."

I find your kitten to be hyena-like, your guardhouse to be pretentious, and your arm to be empty.

 

[Phoenix8008]

"I find your student to be insidious, your church to be disgusting, and your judo to be useless."

 

[Wicht]

Enter three ancient judges, all a fluster. "So muchg happening" they say to themselves.

But the motion to indicate Shard has won the insult round.

Their flag girl announces for them, . . .
"The ancient masters have decreed this match to take place at the garden north-west of the Obsidian Tower on the evening of the west wind."

 

[Phoenix8008]

"I am Shard you old hag, and I choose a speed match of 3 flags!" (Not in the chatroom though, I can't get there. Just make each flag won permanent and the first one to get 3, wins!)

Shard lets her ability in the Ki-Rin style shine through and illuminate the garden around them as she charge in for an attack. Dodging around the woman's attack, Shard wonders if she is dog-ugly and needs to wear that mask to keep from scaring people away. After attacking and parrying a bit, Shard aims her most vicious attack right at the ninja's heart!

The ki-rin illuminates the garden; dodges the beauty of the canine so it calmly parts the energy of the heart!

 

[Berandor]

OOC: I'd have chosen a speed match, too - if just to try it

Jumping backwards to escape the thrust, Zhou Ling flings a handful of throwing needles at her opponent.

The thorn assaults the ricefield; redirects the gaze of the stone!

 

[Phoenix8008]

OOC: Berandor, can you change the thread title to show us fighting?

 

[Wicht]

The judges nod approvingly. They are especially delighted with Shard's defense.

Point to Shard

One Flag Shard

phoenix - is there another color you could use that would be easier on the eyes?

 

[Berandor]

OOC: Already cared for the title... nor it's time to pack out some Phoenix Mojo

Zhou Ling's eyes flare for a moment, then she rushes up towards Shard... only to disappear before his eyes and reappear right behind him, bending low and kicking backwards into his kidney.

The phoenix tramples the desert; overwhelmingly dodges the offensive of the comet!
