[mad_puppeteer]

Who: Relius Clover mad_puppeteer, all who volunteered Here.
When: September 5th, Afternoon to the evening
Where: The Island
Style: I'll follow.
Status: Closed to those who volunteered in the thread.

Relius has arrived on the island in the early morning for some preliminary tests. He moved Ignis through her basic paces that he could preform on his own. Her movement seemed unimpaired due to their transportation. It was all within parameters. This was a good sign. The rest of her functions would have to wait until his test subjects arrived. Only then could he see if she was still fully functional for battle. He did wonder if everything would work as it was supposed to.

Thanks to Rita Mordio, he was sure she could operate without the necessary seither to trigger her Ars. Though it would be his subjects' responsibility to see about that. He would also need to be sure his own abilities remained intact. Hazama might say he was showing his hand too early but he was also forcing others to do the same. Besides, hands could always be shifted and molded, should the occasion call for it. He would try to pull his punches to make sure none could gauge his true abilities. He was fairly sure none of them were as strong as Hazama. Should that be the case, he should be victorious in every bout.

Though there was one last goal to all this. He wished to see the volunteer's souls. He was sure he could catch glimpses of all their souls in this fight. He told them to not hold back and in such situations the way to their true forms was often exposed. He looked forward to all of the data he would be collecting.

((OOC: For all volunteers; before the battle starts please read both of these; Relius's abilities. and Relius's permissions post. Thank you. ^^

6pm

Hubert was nothing if not prompt. Not even a coma was going to stop that. He had enough coffee to take the edge off of the headache he had when he woke, and as he approached with dualblade in hand he looked alert and ready. Just another sparring match, and another chance to take his mind off things he didn't want to sit around thinking about in his lonely new house.

Re: 6pm

[mad_puppeteer]

Relius had had a successful string of matches so far. His clothes were tattered from some of the fights but nothing serious had happened to him. He had one hand on his hip as he stared at the exposed laboratory on the island. He wondered if it was possible to explore it without the natives getting in the way. He would need to try another day. He had tested almost all of Ignis's capabilities, all but one.

And that one was saved for his last subject of the day. He turned when he heard the elevator ding and smiled. "There you are."

[dualbladepaladin]

Hubert turned to the voice and nodded, pushing his glasses up in that odd little habit of his.

"I wouldn't back down from a challenge."

[mad_puppeteer]

"Such honor is appreciated. As is your punctuality." Relius adjusted his mask with one hand and smiled. "Are you ready to begin the test?"

[dualbladepaladin]

Hubert nodded and lifted his weapon, putting himself in a ready position.

"I am."

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

A little later, a certain helpful little mage showed up - obviously coming from the direction of the abandoned lab, where she must have been for some time before Relius arrived. Notably, her sash was very loose around her waist - obviously her coat was pinned shut or something - and she

"So, where's the test subject?", she asked.

[mad_puppeteer]

"Here." Relius snapped his fingers and Ignis appeared behind him in a flash of purple and blue light. She floated just above the ground with her claws folded neatly in front of her.

"Are you ready to begin?"

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Rita casually tugged at her sash, causing it to separate from her coat entirely, and seemingly float in the air, carried by the motions of Rita's hand.

"So, two on one then?"

[mad_puppeteer]

"It is my battle doll. I will be fighting with it, of course."

It is around 5:30 PM when Dhaos arrives on the beach. Curiously, he appears to be wearing something a bit different than usual. It wouldn't do to damage his daily clothes after all, and he has the feeling that Zelda would be a bit cross with him if she found out he had gotten into a fight, even for research purposes. The prince remains fairly relaxed, even as he steps onto the sand; his only concern at the moment is simply that perhaps he would need to hold back a little. Humans tended to be somewhat fragile in comparison to him after all...

If you need clarification on his moves, I can link pictures of them in the posts for the fight.

[mad_puppeteer]

"You're here. Capital." Relius turned to look at the blond man who made it on time. He adjusted his mask and motioned to Dhaos to come closer. "Come. Are you ready for my little test?"

That would be helpful, thanks. I'll do the same, if you'd like. :>

[fistfullofmagic]

"Of course," Dhaos said, moving closer, though not within immediate range of physical attacks. And then with no warning whatsoever, he threw a fireball at the other man.

Alright. ^^ That would be awesome.

[mad_puppeteer]

"Ignis!" Relius snapped his fingers and his battle doll appeared in a flash of blue and purple light. She moved in front of the puppeteer and crossed her arms. She took the fireball and didn't even seem to flinch.

Katsu showed up about mid-afternoon, looking around for the man who had called him out. He spotted him fairly easily, given his weird clothes. Despite everything, he was grinning. All-out, huh? It'd been a while since he'd really gotten to unleash all of his power.

He headed over, waving to him. "Hey there!"

For simplicity's sake, I can link pictures of Relius's attack for you to avoid confusion.

[mad_puppeteer]

Relius turned on his spot at the voice and have a slow wave of his own. This subject seemed quiet energetic. This was good. He wanted those with high energies to fully test Ignis's capabilities. He gave a nod once Katsu was closer and adjusted his mask.

"I am glad you have arrived. Are you ready for the test?"

That would be extremely helpful! :)

[angelphones]

Test. Uh-huh. He didn't really want to think about tests, it just made him miss school, but he could deal. He nodded and cracked his knuckles, mentally adjusting his skills for speed and defense - at least to start with.

"Ready when you are."

^^ Then I shall.

[mad_puppeteer]

"Then let us being." Relius wasted no time. Rather than running, he seemed to lift off the ground and flew towards Katsu with his feet just barely off the ground. Once he was close enough Relius moved his arms and two large green arms seemed to appear out of his cape and went to try and slam Katsu on both sides with each fist.

[shirleyhopeful]

Shirley showed up in the afternoon looking for a person and a battle doll. At first, she wasn't sure where to find him but she assumed that he was at the park. Nope, he wasn't.

Then she looked somewhere else. He wasn't there either.

It took her a while but she did eventually look at the island. From there, she went up to him.

"Are you the person who asked people to battle your um...battle doll?"

[mad_puppeteer]

Relius turned to the woman as she spoke and offered a nod and a smile. "That I am. Forgive me for not introducing myself before. My name is Relius Clover. I take it you are here to submit to my test?"

[shirleyhopeful]

She shook her head. "No, I should have said something. I should have introduced myself sooner! My name is Shirley Fennes, it's nice to meet you Relius." With that, she looked around at the island a bit.

"Yes, I am but...are you sure this area will be enough?"

[mad_puppeteer]

Relius gave a nod to her greeting and looked at the island himself. "For a small one-on-one test, this space shall suffice. I have also taken another interest in this area, so it is in a sense killing two birds with one stone." He turned back to Shirley and smiled at last.

"If you are ready, let us begin." He snapped his fingers and Ignis appeared behind him in a flash of blue and purple light.

1 pm

Relius would probably caught a glimpse of a dot in the air headed this way. When 17 came close to his destination, he descended to the ground. He was quite curious to what this creator built. Long as it proved to be a challenge, it was another game.

If you like I can link pictures of Relius's attacks in his tags.

[mad_puppeteer]

The puppeteer hadn't been watching the skies too closely until he noticed the flying dot. As it grew closer he could see it had a humanoid shape. He waited quietly until the young man landed before sweeping his cape behind him and placed a hand on his hip.

"Impressive. How is it you can fly without the aid of any device?"

works for me o/

[gunkonmyboot]

17 turned around to the man. He crossed his arm as he spoke, "I suppose you can call it a trick. But enough about me, where is this doll?"

kk. ^^

[mad_puppeteer]

"Yes. Let us begin the test." Relius snapped his fingers and Ignis appeared behind in with a flash of purple and blue lights. She remained still as she floated just above the ground behind her puppeteer with her claws folded neatly in front of her. Her cold blue eyes gazed at 17 but showed no emotion despite the spark of life that were within them.
