A Casual Time-Wasting Spar [CLOSED]
« on: February 18, 2017, 10:01:37 AM »
Tina walked out of the arcade and sighed. She had just spent the last of her tokens trying to beat one of those shoot-em-up games that you never seem to win. Despite both her experience and time spent, infuriatingly, she couldn't seem to get past that single level, and now she was left with nothing to do. Not even a single Lien for her to play around with. She was hoping to come out excited and ready to work, but the polar opposite had happened and she was left dispirited, annoyed, and most of all, bored.

"Sigh...There's that combat test tomorrow, and I'm nowhere near ready for it...Wish I had a team to spar with, but..." she trailed off, wondering if she could find a partner or two that she could practice against. Leaning back against a wall, she searched through her scroll to see if she recognised anyone.

Catalina arrived at the arcade. Now where is it, Remnant: The Game... Ah, right in front. One, two, three. He approached the console right beside the one his contact is using and started a game with her.
"Whatever you want to know, you found the right boy." He sent a message through in-game chat, while trying to siege  the walls of the Vale AI with his androids. It's working.

"Yeah, you better run! Try to pull that crap on me again, see what happens!" Chris shouted at the man scrambling away from him. Damn pickpockets. I swear, the cops in this city must be lazy as hell. That was one of the problems with being as distinctive as Chris was with his mask, distinctive usually means more lucrative to thieves.

Stepping out of the alley, Chris was in need of a way to blow off steam. With the third time someone tried to steal his money in the last year behind him, he had a lot of pent-up frustration. But, that could happen later. For now, he saw a pretty girl and an opportunity to fill up the rest of his afternoon. Grabbing a soda from the nearby vending machine, he leaned up against the wall and opened it to get her to look over at him. Maybe today won't be so bad after all.

Drag...drag..drag
Was the sound Griz's body made as he was carried and thrown out of the arcade. His body made a nice thud against the concrete as he was "gently escorted" out of the facility. What was his heinous crime you ask? What could he have possibly done to earn such irrevocable scorn?
Well he had fallen asleep on one of the driving simulators...again. He was starting to think that the people who ran this business were holding a grudge against him from the time he broke the Dance Remannt Revolution machine.
Well no matter what the cause he was now outside...lying in the middle of the street... Actually now that he was thinking about it, this was pretty comfy! If he just shifted a bit to the right ... ah there we go! The perfect sleeping spot. So there he was, lying in the middle of the sidewalk, not a care in the world, bathing in a sunbeam.
I really need something to wake me up...I could really go for a spar right now...but the gym is soooo faaaaaar...I think il just stay here for now. Yeeeeeaaaah that sounds real nice.

Tina had only just closed her eyes and let out a despondent sigh, when she just managed to hear a almost inaudible dragging sound. Curious, she opened her eyes a tiny crack, enough to see a young man carried out the front door. His body made a loud "thump" as he got unceremoniously chucked out by the staff.

"Um...A-are you alright?" Tina timidly asked, her voice quavering. She couldn't help but hurry over to the fallen boy, unintentionally ignoring the masked person who had just tried to get her attention.

Infrared texted Catalina. "This is it. You know what that is, and how do I find it?"
On the game she pull of one of the most classic playstyle, infiltrating Cat's Atlas with her Vacuan warriors taking control of it and the game in one swift move.
Catalina gasped. Not because the game is lost unexpectedly, although it hid his real reason behind the gasp.
"You almost snowballed out of control. It was lucky I stopped you this turn. Well played. Here's your Lien." Said the victorious girl, still sitting as she is handing out the money as opposed to Catalina who stood up to let the surprise sink a little, and grabbed on the Lien almost crumpling it in the process. He needed something to get it out of his mind and think about it later, hopefully something the releases endorphin. Like a good spar.
Walking out of the arcade Catalina noticed Griz on the floor. He's probably the only one that would sleep here and now. Trying to pull Griz up he said to the girl asking if he's well "He's just sleeping. Even though this is not the best place."

Chris was a bit annoyed that he was ignored in favor of some dude just laying in the middle of the sidewalk. Taking a step away from the wall, he walked around to get a better look at the boy. "Oi! Kid! If you're gonna be wastin' your time sleeping in the middle of the day, you best be finding a spot that's not in everyone's way." he said, folding his arms and looking down on the kid.

Admittedly, he took some solace in the fact that the kid was lazy enough to deserve some of the annoyance he bared toward him. Not that all of it was his fault. Still, Chris felt some catharsis in giving the sleeping boy a wake up call, given that it ruined his first impression with this new girl.

Griz mumbled and shifted at the commotion. Obviously some people couldn't  appreciate a good nap when they saw one. Aw well, might as well see what's going on.
Groggily opening his eyes to see what was happening he was shocked to see 3 different sets of eyes staring at him. One of them being noticeably miffed about something or other. He had probably said something earlier but Griz was too out of it to hear anything so it would go completely ignored.

He also quickly realized that he had being hoisted upright and was being steadied by Catalina. Woah what was she doin here of all places.
Griz dusted himself off and addressed the gathering.

"Hey *yawn* guys! You must be wondering why I have gathered you hear today. Well I thank you for your deep interest and quick response. I, Griz *yawn* Blancard, have called this meeting on the behalves of lazy people everywhere. We demand that you let us sleep where we please or fight for the right to our sleeping spot in the form of a duel. Understood? Great! Meeting adjurened, nap time."
Griz yawned as he began to crouch to lay back down again. What a weird day this was turning out to be.

"Umm..." Tina was getting visibly flustered by Griz's abnormal behavior, as well as the appearance of the masked man behind her. This was a situation she did not enjoy being in, surrounded by strangers.
"I-is he always like that?" she asked the boy helping Griz up. He seemed to know him, by the way he was handling the drowsy boy. What have I gotten myself into... wait. A duel? A plan began formulating in Tina's mind. Maybe this won't be so bad after all... if I can get used to facing a sleepwalker and a intimidating masked man? she gulped.

"Always sleeping? Yeah. Asking for a duel over everything? Usually not. Buuuut if you want one you got it, we have an combat exam anyways. Where and how?" The sentence is pointed toward Griz, but then Catalina noticed the clearly irritated, masked person. Where did he see him? Oh, on that drink. That he never find attractive. He would prefer coffee or cola. Either way, "Would you like to join?"

Aside from the curious display of the drowsy boy, Chris was having none of this. "If it takes me kicking you in the face to get you to stop being a nuisance, I will. Though you need to wake up, or this'll be a short fight." he said, a smirk finally coming to his face. Now, things were getting interesting.

Griz paused mid-crouch and stared at the crowed in disbelief. Did...did they not get the jokes. Sheesh either Griz was more sleepy then he thought or he had read one too many old timey deuling novels.
...Well at least for this duel Griz wouldn't need to reach for a flintstock pistol. He was a terrible shot anyways.

Standing up and brushing himself off Griz gestured towards a small gathering of trees and smiled at the group.

"Well if you guys are really looking to get some sparring practicing in then there is a small outdoor sparring arena in a park just beyond those trees. Beacon put them in when students were complaining about being forced to fight indoors. The new ones even come equipped with dust force fields at their borders to prevent any stray bullets from hurting themselves!"

Brushing some of the sleep out of his eyes Griz got a good look at the guy from earlier. He was quite rude...but cute in a way. Something told Griz this was going to be a very  interesting spar.

Perfect, Tina thought. In one fell swoop, she had solved her dueling problem and got Griz off the path, where more and more pedestrians were starting to gawk, and she hated attention when it came from strangers.

Standing up and heading for the trees toward the dueling arena, she brushed her hands over her duel revolvers and smiled. She hadn't had a proper, old-time fight with these before, only killing the occasional Grimm, and she looked forward to the firefight. But before that...

"Excuse me," she said slightly more confidently to the masked man striding in front of her. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Uh, an advertisement maybe?" She could have sworn she knew that mask, but she was too anxious to recognise that before.

Catalina nodded at Griz's idea and promptly started walking. "I like watching people spar there, it'd be good sparring there for the first time. He didn't comment on the girl's question, of course it's cooler for him to answer that him self
Excitement sparked on the way they went, but then concern and wonderings popped up as well. What are the strats for a four way match? What's their semblance and how do I find it out?...

Chris took the opportunity to pull his weapon out of his sweatpants. Flipping the nunchaku around with blinding speed and expert-level technique, he took a few seconds to show off before turning to Tina and saying "El Pantera. Official spokesman for Spike Energy. Always ready for a fight." while catching his nunchaku under his arm and flexing. He finished his over the top posing off with another sly smile, showing perfectly polished teeth*.

*Studies have shown adverse reactions to combining teeth whitening agents and Spike Energy products. Do not consume spike energy products directly after receiving oral care or using teeth whitening agents. Side effects may include bleeding from the gums, yellowing teeth, tooth loss, and porcupine tongue.
