You will have 2 weeks to compete however a generous gap of 1 week is allowed for a non posting period... if either competitor takes longer than 1 week to make a reply then their characters fate is instantly handed to their opponent and/or the judges and they will be declared the loser. Begin with posts of your characters regaining consciousness and realizing that they are back in their natural bodies and retain all memories from the cafeteria. P.S. If you were (lightly-highly) involved in the recent Cafeteria ruckus, please account for fatigue, not my fault, we gave the warning and now you get to play (sort of - semi) tired if you did.

So as soon as he could hear the crowds and the music...he urged himself to wake up quickly. The gas was already pouring in and the scent was reaching his nostrils. Looked like they were in the center of the arena, Taylor not too far away. Like last time, he figured he should wait until his opponent got up before striking. He also figured he should make those preparations he was thinking about while he waited. So he took his kevlar vest off and took the shirt off underneath...before putting the vest back on. The shirt was covered with sweat, just like he'd hoped. He rolled up the shirt, and wrapped it around his face...so that it covered his nostrils. Hopefully, this would help slow down the effects of the gas. After that was done, he pulled out his pistol and screwed the silencer on it...before placing it back in his holster. [I'll remove the last two paragraphs if that's against the rules and you only want us to wake up. I made a post in the OOC chat asking about this.] Edited by Nail Strafer, Oct 3 2009, 09:09 AM.

They're starting with the gas already. Let's see how it affects my fire. Now on his knees, he focused on his left hand, trying to ignite a flame. He still felt somewhat nauseated, but that could be because of the gas this time. He snapped his wrist and flipped open his hand, where, in a world where everything wasn't conspiring against him, there would be a flame. Alas, it took about five tries before he got one going, as he still felt a little numb from being divebombed by an anthro-dragon. Then a sudden realization hit him: Did I reload during my stint in the cafe? Crap!

He felt a twinge of sadness as he did so...since just previously Taylor had helped out with that dragon in the cafeteria. And he'd done a lot more to help than Nail had, which means this would be harder for him than Nail. But if he didn't defeat him, Nail would die in his place. "I apologize for this, especially after what you did in the cafeteria. But only one of us can proceed from here. May the best man win." And he opened fire, letting off three silenced shots at Taylor's chest as he backed away towards one of the walls. Yeah, the gas was thicker, but hopefully the mask he made would make up for that. And it would give him a nice hiding spot too. In this arena, you couldn't see very far because of the gas, especially towards the walls.

Two shots passed harmlessly through Taylor's jacket, another one ripped a gash in Taylor's left arm. That got the old pain nerves working again. His pained gasp gave him a lungful of air laced with the stuff, leading to his retreat into the bank of the noxious fog becoming a stagger. He clapped his right hand to his mouth, trying to keep from taking another deep breath of the stuff as he quickly but unsteadily made his way through it, trying to flank his opponent with a shoulder-ram while his own senses were still arguably good. He didn't want to die, and he didn't really want to kill Nail... but he'd rather not either of them be left to the mercies of their demonic hosts.

The way your post is written isn't very clear about that. I'll add my actual post when I get your answer. EDIT: I'll just write out my post now and guess. I don't want to get disqualified for not posting.] As Nail backed away, he saw that Taylor too was moving into the fog...going out of sight like he was. So, the fox decided he would continue to move around the arena so that Taylor would have a hard time surprising him. He continued to back up until he saw the arena's wall behind him...and then he turned to the left and started walking clockwise around the circular arena. He moved at a somewhat brisk pace, but not too quickly. He didn't want to do anything that would require him to breathe too hard, especially in this arena. Even so...he did notice that the wall seemed to be distorting somewhat in his vision...not to mention the music and the crowd seemed to be getting louder. It would be hard to hear Talyor approaching like this, but as long as he was moving and kept looking around, Taylor would probably have a hard time ambushing him.

The sounds of the crowd and ambient tune began to grow in volume and distort in time with his vision. He felt his stomach and throat begin to turn, and worried he might throw up, he dropped to the grating... and belched. Aw geez, good going, you just gave him something to shoot at, he thought as he pulled his handgun from a holster sewn into the lining of his jacket. The crowd and music began to swell further, and he looked away from the grating in fear that the distortions may yet cause him to throw up once again.

Flying Battery Act 2 Posts: 1,218 Group: A Rank Hero Member #8,106 Joined: May 5, 2008	Was that a...belch? It was hard to make out individual sounds with the effects of this gas...whatever it was. Nail was glad he had silencers for his pistol. He couldn't imagine how deafening it would be for the other guy to fire his gun. Ahead though...he thought he saw a vague silhouette. Nail wanted to fire...but he didn't think he could shoot at this range with his vision like this. He would need to wait for Taylor to come closer. So...holding his breath, he crouched down in the gas pooling near the grating. Only the top of his head and the barrel of his gun were visible. Edited by Nail Strafer, Oct 7 2009, 07:46 AM.

The disorientation was getting to him. The smells of charring denim and cooking rubber reached his nostrils as the heat began to spread. He briefly wondered if the gas was impairing his judgment, but there was nothing for it at that point. He'd have to bank on the added scents and the sudden expansion of the gas to prove enough of a distraction. He gave it fifteen seconds, he dared not risk any longer like that.

Flying Battery Act 2 Posts: 1,218 Group: A Rank Hero Member #8,106 Joined: May 5, 2008	[Let me know if this interpretation is wrong] Nail saw the light of the fire through the gas as it engulfed his hand. Then he punched the grating. What's he doing? Then he slowly realized the floor below him was starting to get warm. The heat was spreading. Nail thought he should back off. But not before he got a shot off. Aiming roughly towards the light of the flame, Nail fired off two silenced shots...then stood up and slowly backed away...back in to the gas. As he retreated, he hoped that this fire elemental wasn't powerful enough to make the entire floor of the arena hot... [Five seveN magazine: 15/20] Edited by Nail Strafer, Oct 12 2009, 07:32 AM.

Grammar: 9/10 -Couple instances of misuse of a comma where a semi-colon or 'but' was needed, lots of not beginning a new paragraph when someone spoke (or in this case, thought). Adaptation to Environment: 10/10 -Great work here. Certainly took a nasty dose of that gas in the first couple posts, and you suffered the effects of it. Entertainment: 8/10 -Not much to go on here, I'm afraid, but the tactics towards the end were intruiging. NAIL STRAFER Fair Play: 10/10 -Didn't force anything, extrapolated on your opponent's actions well. Grammar: 8/10 -Some clipped sentences and INANE AMOUNTS of ellipses spam (...). Adaptation to Environment: 9/10 -Didn't seem to suffer the trippy effects of the gas much, and I don't personally know how effective a sweaty shirt is as a defence against gas attacks... But vision impairment definitely played a big part of your tactics, and that's worth a lot. Entertainment: 8/10 -Again, not much to go off on here, but the use of the fog's obscuring properties added a nice 'hunter' edge to the match. All in all, there wasn't enough here to make me definite about my decision, but the points thus far stand; HAKUMEN - 37 NAIL STRAFER - 35

Grammar: 9/10 - Not perfect, but solid enough. Few too many commas breaking up your flow as well. Adaptation to Environment: 9/10 -You got gassed quite a bit but there is just a feeling that I'm getting that it seemed that you were lurking "low" and in the gas quite a bit and it did mess with you but I'm possibly just hurting you for a lack of detail regarding it, might just be my taste. Entertainment: 7/10 - There were some interesting tactics used as well as you implementing some of your characters thoughts e.t.c. but the match seemed a touch slow, that's just as much your opponents issue as it was yours but I find it hard to get into slow paced fights with little interaction, it was almost like all planning with no execution aside from messing with the gas. NAIL STRAFER Fair Play: 10/10 - Still no forcing or cheap play. Grammar: 8/10 - Lots of brackets involved [][][][] and your last post didn't do you favors since I'm not a fan of "This happened then he did this, then he did this" formats. Adaptation to Environment: 10/10 - The match was slow but I decided to give you props for realistically implementing the ripped fabric tactic. It's not a perfect barrier but it helps and I basically told you the tactic was a fair one so I can't knock you for it since it is making use of what you had on your being for the fight and that is never unfair. Entertainment: 8/10 - Not a lot to comment on and you were hurt by the slow match pace as well, I had a hard time finding a good entertaining flow for the match but the potshot attempts were realistic from a fighter's standpoint and I did like that. HAKUMEN - 35 NAIL STRAFER - 36 Final Score Hakumen - 72/80 Nail Strafer - 71/80 Hakumen has edged out Nail, you may PM me and/or TUC with your choice of us ending the match or you writing out the conclusion (and writing it in the PM) Once the conclusion is inserted Hakumen may return to the Cafeteria and Nail will be sent to the Void which will finally see it's expanded role begin with round 3.

But now he knew the direction in which to find his foe. Gritting his senses against the pain of the bullet wounds, he raised his gun in his right hand, took off at a run towards the point the bullets came from, aimed at the general area he supposed his opponent would be, and started shooting, emptying the handgun's clip. The first shot left him deaf, but the five-shot salvo made its mark in its entirety, tearing through the fox's torso. Then the pain from the shots Taylor took became too much to bear, and he too dropped to the arena's grating. I think... Did I just win? Edited by Tora Unlimited Crusader, Nov 5 2009, 09:10 PM.
