Fandom Gladiators Part DEUX! - First Period, Friday, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

"You know," said Rosa, addressing her students and fellow teachers once it was time to begin class, tilting her head thoughtfully, introspectively, "after a week like last week, sometimes, the best thing to do is just take some time, reflect, relax, maybe meditate a little and look into ourselves to find some sort of inner peace and tranquility..."

She let that hang for about two seconds.

"Ha. Just kidding. We're hitting each other with giant sticks. Let's go."


[[ please to wait for my insane ocd, which is longer than this entire post lol 40 comments of OCD, I'm not crazy, shut up. Anyway, it's up! ]]

Heat One - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Just because life hates everyone and who even knows what can even be played out today, I've decided to be insane and make a subthread for each encounter to play out as Fate is willing to have it. Overly micromanagy and unnessary? Probably. BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAY.

Shuri vs the Hammer - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

First up: Shuri vs the Hammer, with Shuri as the victor!

It was exciting to be the first one up, no doubt there, but Amaya was sort of wishing she had a bit more time to really get to know this weapon a little more. To have time to really test the weight and consider the balance and postulate on how much better it would be with some spikes and all the places those spikes could go.

But no time for that now! She was up, and she settled the staff into an easy grip while grinning over at Shuri across from her. "Ready when you are," she said.

Shuri grinned at her. "I can stand to smack things around today."

And these sticks seemed perfect.

Shuri vs Spectre - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Next up: Shuri vs Spectre, with Shuri victorious again!

"Okay," Kanan said, turning a grin toward Shuri, "let's see how well you manage now that you've got your thumbs back, hm?"

Re: Shuri vs Spectre - Gladiators, 08/23.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Very well, I promise," Shuri said. "I was trained by the Dora Milaje."

Shuri vs Liam - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Next: Shuri vs Liam, with Liam as the victor!

Re: Shuri vs Liam - Gladiators, 08/23.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

Shuri had gotten slightly cocky after beating Kanan. "Ready?"

Re: Shuri vs Liam - Gladiators, 08/23.

[firstofitskind]

"Just don't chew on my head," deadpanned Liam, because he thought he was hilarious.

Liam vs Chill - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Next: Liam vs Chill, with Liam as the victor!

Liam vs Hurricane - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Liam vs Hurricane, with Hurrican as the victor!

Re: Liam vs Hurricane - Gladiators, 08/23.

You know what? Maybe this would be cathartic, because Keyleth was still beating herself up about how she was convinced it was mostly her fault they'd all gotten captured. Maybe it would help to --

Beat up on the guy whose hands had gotten snapped off last week because they'd gotten captured, which was kind of her fault, and wasn't he a friend of Beau's, too?

She looked a lot less like she was ready to let out some pent-up guilt in a kind-of healthy way, and a lot more apologetic.

Hurricane vs Anakin - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Hurricane vs Anakin, with Hurricane as the victor!

Re: Hurricane vs Anakin - Gladiators, 08/23.

[sith_happened]

Anakin was at about 95 percent since last week and was very ready to smack some people around.

Sorry, kids.

Hurricane vs Shadowcat - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Hurricane vs Shadowcat, with Hurricane STILL victorious!

Re: Hurricane vs Shadowcat - Gladiators, 08/23.

[goldfishontherocks]

Elsewhere in town, Beauregard was probably swearing a blue (heh) streak trying to figure out how in hell someone as awkward and weapons-averse as Keyleth was doing so well in this tournament so far.

Honestly, Keyleth was wondering that herself. It was probably the sheer power of her own awkwardness that could get the credit, really.

"I'm sorry in advance if this somehow goes my way," she offered with another sheepish little wave.

Hurricane vs Spider-Man - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Hurricane vs Spider-Man, with Spider-Man finally crushing Hurricane's streak and emerging victorious.

get it, Tightpants!

Re: Hurricane vs Spider-Man - Gladiators, 08/23.

[what_the_shock]

Right. Miguel could do this.

Keyleth almost looked to fragile to fight, but she'd been doing pretty well so far. He hefted his...staff thing, and waited.

Spider-Man vs Lilac - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Spider-Man vs Lilac, with Lilac as victor!

Re: Spider-Man vs Lilac - Gladiators, 08/23.

[chirpchirpchirp]

"Hey, teach!" Vette was absolutely not lacking in enthusiasm as she hefted up her giant q-tip. "So, this is where I knock you over, right?"

She had no idea how she was going to pull this off, but heck, she was gonna try.

Lilac vs Exterminator - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Lilac vs Exterminator, with Exterminator as victor!

in an RNG revenge plot

Re: Lilac vs Exterminator - Gladiators, 08/23.

[chirpchirpchirp]

"OKAY BRING IT."

... Victory had gone to someone's head, yes.

Exterminator vs Throatpuncher - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Exterminator vs Throatpuncher, with Throatpuncher as victor in quite possibly the best upset ever.

All Teachers have been eliminated. Throatpuncher wins this round.

Re: Exterminator vs Throatpuncher - Gladiators, 08/23.

[died8yearsago]

Oh, yeah. Rosa had this one in the bag.

She wasn't going to waste any time, either, the end of her puget stick going straight for Throatpuncher's throat as soon as possible.

Because it was ironic, you know?
