Who: Morte [destroytheworld] and Kohaku [spiria]
Where: The Island
When: April 1st, 2012: After this conversation and this network post.
Style: Action brackets y/y? :D;
Status: Closed! ♥


[ she'd written her notice to Shing, and had made her way to the island. the weather was kind of cloudy ... it looked almost as if it might rain. still, this was the best place for their little sparring match, without a doubt. rain or shine, combat waited for nobody, right?

she had known when the opportunity had arisen that she really wanted to take morte up on her request and get some practice in. she hadn't sparred with anyone in quite some time, and she was a little awkward, asking Shing about it ... she knew that he wouldn't go easy on her if she asked, but there was still that lingering doubt. he did care a ton for her, and he didn't like putting her into the way of any potential harm, despite knowing full well that she was quite capable of taking care of herself.

furthermore, she knew shing too well. she knew his fighting style, and she knew what to expect from him. she needed to go up against someone different, someone she'd never seen before. she needed to challenge herself, so that she could be prepared for any situation that called for it.

even in vatheon, she couldn't be 100% sure that there'd be absolute peace. no, she really did need to keep up with her skills.

she only hoped that when all was said and done, shing wouldn't freak out too terribly ... ]

_{[Morte came to the island holding her giant blade. The moment she spotted Kohaku a smile appeared on her face.]}

Hope I'm not late.

[spiria]

[ whoa, what a blade ... she's kind of reminded of innes' soma, actually. this ought to be interesting. kohaku returns that smile, summoning elrond and twirling her soma around a little in one hand for a moment before answering. what a show-off. ]

Not at all! I only just got here, myself.

[destroytheworld]

_{[Morte smirked, getting ready to the battle.]}

Good!

_{[She pointed her blade at Kohaku.]}

You won't mind if we start right away, right?

_{[And with that, she was about to begin attacking, but she seemed to remember something. She smirked again.]}

Right. I never got your name.

[spiria]

[ Kohaku gets into her battle stance, returning that smirk to Morte as she did so. she did a pretty good job of hiding it, but Kohaku was actually in a pretty bad mood ... after her argument with Shing, she figured it was probably a good thing she was fighting Morte right now. she seriously needed to let out some steam. ]

Nope. In fact, I'd be glad to start right away.

[ she prepared for an incoming attack, but it never came; she looked up at Morte a bit confusedly, then cocked her head to the side a little and smirked again. ]

Kohaku. Kohaku Hearts. And you?

[ despite the friendly conversation at the moment, Kohaku was still ready for an attack at any moment. ]

[destroytheworld]

Kohaku...

_{[she will remember that name.]}

I'm Morte Asherah.

_{[and with that said she began her attack. After all head-on attacks are Morte's favorite.]}

Alright. Here comes!

_{[she swung her blade at the girl, a smirk still on her face.]}

[spiria]

[ and she'll remember yours as well! she doesn't have time to respond before Morte starts head on. Kohaku immediately reacts, quickly sidestepping as Morte got closer and flipping back to a reasonable distance. Once she got far enough away, she manged to get out her earlier response. ]

It's nice to meet you!

[ and now she'll get to fighting back! as Morte is recovering from that initial swing, Kohaku rushes back at her and aims a kick at her body. ]

[destroytheworld]

_{[Morte won't allow herself to be hit that easily! She quickly dodges the attack, then laughs a little.]}

Yeah, nice to meet you, too!

_{[Morte then tries once again to attack Kohaku with her blade, spinning it in her hands.]}

[spiria]

[ yep, definitely reminded of Innes. leeet's do some more dodging here ... she probably should have clarified a few things before starting, in hindsight. ]

So, are we just sticking to physical attack, or are we able to use any magic at our disposal as well?

[ now she's moving to try and swing a leg underneath to trip her up. ]

[destroytheworld]

_{[You think the Scarlet Plague will trip like that? No way! She jumps, then attacks again.]}

You can use whatever you want!

[spiria]

[ and with your attack, you barely manage to nick her arm as she's rolling out of the way.

well.

that kinda hurt.

but it wasn't anything Kohaku hadn't felt before; that, and the adrenaline rush of actually fighting is keeping her from really recognizing that she'd been injured to begin with. Kohaku laughed a little, jumping back a few times. this here, this was a test; to see if she could get a spell off before Morte could get to her.

she wasn't expecting any results. she just needed to know whether or not she'd have an opening.

a circle on the ground beneath her started glowing red as she started up a chant for a fire arte. testing, one, two, three ... ]
