Defence Against Malicious Magic - Monday 3/26 - Curse! Foiled!

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

Students are directed to the Danger Shop by notes and possibly a TA or two.

When the students are assembled, the doors shut with a *clank*.

All is silence for a moment and then a tremendous cloud of black sparkling spoke pours out of, well, nothing actually.

When it clears, a rather ominous and wizardly looking fellow is standing there.

He turns a baleful eye upon the students for an long time, uncomfortably long. It's actually rather creepy. Not creepy in a suspenseful way either. More creepy in a 'I don't want to sit next to this guy on the bus' kind of way.

Finally, he speaks.

"Students of Orpheus!" he says in a voice that's higher pitched then you'd expect to hear. In fact, it kind of sounds like there some dude in his early twenties under all that white hair and the crazy velveteen robes. "I... Am CURSE! I seek to become your teacher's nemesis! And this time, he will actually read my resume! I have lured him away to the Forbidden Zone where he will be dining with the little midget king! distracted while I teach you all a lesson he will never forget!!!"

Wait. Did that make sense? He'll teach... Yes. Yes it did. Okay, good.

"I see he had some implements set out for whatever exercise he had planned for you before my plans were... You know. Replacing his...

Anyway! Since you are all but children I will let you select a weapon or protection that will no doubt fail under the weight of my magic!

Magic is kind of my thing you see...

Have at you! And you! And you! And..."

[[ooc: Curse is a hologram, this is the Danger Shop. The table holds both mundane and magical implements. Magical implements can be anything you would not qualify as a legendary artifact. (Sorry Halliwell, no Excalibur sitting around for you to pick up... Nice longsword +1 though.) Mundane items range from a board with a nail in it, to a (perfectly normal) colt peacemaker. There are also "spell components" on the table to throw together an amulet or something that just smells really bad. Yes, there is chocolate.]]

Katara eyed the man and sent a water whip flying at him with the intent of cutting through his staff.

Katara's whip made contact with the staff. But instead of breaking it, Cure had turned it down and to the side to deflect the... No. Wait.

The force of the impact was taken by his right arm... Which as a result detached from his shoulder and fell. Both hands were still holding onto the staff, but only one arm was actually attached to his body.

Curse, cursed.

He swung the staff up under his left arm to brace it against between that and his body. As his right arm still clung to the end, he shot a lime green bolt of energy at Katara.

She threw up a sheet of water to divert the energy off the right. But in case that green stuff wasn't like fire to be diverted, she dove to the left.

Re: BATTLE CURSE

The majority of the bolt did dissipate in a hiss of steem, but some energy did get through.

He's pretty pissed.

"You made me drop my arm!"

Re: BATTLE CURSE

"I didn't know you had to hold onto it!" she pointed out. "Most arms are attached!"

Re: BATTLE CURSE

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

"Attach this!" he said sending a continuous stream of the green energy at her.

Re: BATTLE CURSE

She made a face. "Eww?"

Katara threw up another, thicker sheet of water then stepped to the side, and, pulling as much water as possible from that on the table, sent a wave at him, trying to push him back against a wall and freeze him - and the staff - to it.

Re: BATTLE CURSE

"This robe is dry clean ooooooooonlyyyyyyyyy!!!" Curse wails as he is knocked over by the wave and frozen to the wall.

Re: BATTLE CURSE

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara nodded, satisfied and sent one last burst of water to ice the staff firmly to the wall.

"Do you give in?"

Re: BATTLE CURSE

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmph mmmmph."

Re: BATTLE CURSE

"Don't decide you're going to attack again," she said warningly before bringing her arms down and melting all the ice into a puddle of water that she pulled back to her.

Re: BATTLE CURSE

Curse slid to the floor, dripping and sullen.

"You guys suck." he said fitting his arm back in place.

Katara smirked at him. "Maybe you should have paid more attention before figuring we were just kids."
