Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Sora - Aug 02 2020 Sora had been known as energetic back in the cave. But now, she felt drained all of the time. Or, at least, most of the time. In recent days, her energy had started to build up again -- impossible to avoid. In the past, she'd worked most of her excess energy off by playing with her siblings or, more frequently, sparring with Kini. It had been easier before Kini's horns had come in -- that was around when she started losing on the regular -- but she'd learned a lot from the fighting. About herself and about combat. But she was getting rusty, and as her energy started to build again, Sora felt like she was going to explode. She paced in a tight circle and then walked down to a place where the bones were clear. She didn't want the Bonebound crucifying her for breaking something. "MORGAN!!" she called, wincing as the sound bounced off of every surface available and she got a very aggressively clear picture of the cave. She kept forgetting about that. When her sibling came into view, Sora raised her glowing eye. "Hey, Morganite. Want to spar with me?" she grunted, her tone holding an edge of neediness. She needed to fight someone her own size. It wouldn't be fair to go up against Charles or Ifrit, y'know? She needed someone her own size. @morganite RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Morganite - Aug 02 2020
@Sora RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Sora - Aug 02 2020 Sora grunted an apology when Morganite said she'd been startled. you should... have thought... of that. And yeah, the voice was actually right that time. It bothered her that the voice was right more and more often -- soon, she was sure that it'd say something awful and she'd be inclined to believe it. For now though, she had Morganite in front of her agreeing to spar. Sora shook herself out and eyed Morganite when offered the first move. Her whiskers were going to make this uncomfortable, to say the least, and she was wary of Morganite cutting themselves on the jagged edges of the newish stone on her face. Venari had done an excellent job, but crystal did not cut cleanly with such crude tools. She took stock of her opponent. Heavy fur, the same whiskers and ears, and the same natural padding, plus antlers. Not a foe to be trifled with lightly. "You'll do fine," she finally grunted, before rushing Morganite to try and knock them over. Those legs of theirs were good for running and jumping, but nobody's legs were willing to bend the wrong way to fight against being knocked over or pinned. @morganite Round: 1/? Attempt: Knock over Morganite Defense: None Injuries: None RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Morganite - Aug 07 2020
@Sora Round: 1/? Attempt: Block the attack. Defense: Blocking. Injuries: None RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Sora - Aug 07 2020 Sora's shoulder clipped into Morganite and she kept moving, not allowing herself to stumble and instead kicking out with her back leg to try and hit the hybrid -- hopefully in the torso, but Sora would take anywhere she could get. Instead, her leg caught air, and she cursed under her breath. "'M goin' easy on you!" the hog lied smoothly, letting the sound bounce off Morganite and not flinching this time -- it gave her a clear picture of her surroundings and who she was fighting. Not that she didn't already know. @morganite Round: 2/? Attempt: Keeck Defense: None Injuries: None RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Morganite - Aug 07 2020
@Sora Round: 2/? Attempt: Headbutt! Defense: N/A Injuries: N/A RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Sora - Aug 07 2020 Sora pivoted, the heat of her body seeming to radiate from her stone like a geothermal wave. She would have tried to slam Morganite with the jagged edge of her chrysalis mutation, but she was worried about taking an eye out or something. Instead, Sora tried to take advantage of Morganite's lack of balance to slam into her again. Not quite to pin, but certainly to do some damage. @morganite Round: 3/? Attempt: Slam! Defense: best defense is a good offense Injuries: None RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Morganite - Aug 07 2020
@Sora Round: 3/? Attempt: Block Defense: Block Injuries: Shoulder bruise. RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Sora - Aug 07 2020 Sora bounced back off Morganite almost comically. "Those claws of yours sure do keep you steady on your feet," she grunted, acknowledging the persistence. Sora's body wasn't all that stable by comparison. She struck out at the dirt in the worn arena and looked Morganite over -- Sora had been the only one to land a hit thus far. "Keep boasting," she goaded back. "It'll make victory that much sweeter." The hog charged head-first this time, genuinely aiming to knock Morganite over. If she could manage this, maybe she'd be able to keep her down. Then again, the pair were pretty similar in size, and having a clawed-and-antlered creature under you wasn't the best idea... but Sora's decision was made on a hair-trigger, as usual. Not much thought ever went into them. @morganite Round: 4/? Attempt: Get on the ground! Defense: None Injuries: None RE: Bear the Brunt of Your Sins - Morganite - Aug 07 2020
@Sora Round: 4/? Attempt: Knock Sora over instead. Defense: N/A Injuries: Shoulder bruise. |
