open post

in the cover of the night Since the last one was so popular, here's a brand-new open post for all of you to post characters, mingle, and tag each other! Seriously, post whatever you want. Empty toplevels? Open starters? Starters closed to specific people? It's all good — just enjoy! If you feel like you need a couple of prompts to get started, though, consider any one (or a combination) of the following: FITS: EVERYONE. No matter who you are or where you are or what you're doing, your clothes have suddenly — poof! — transformed into the Gold Saucer bunny uniform! Because now EVERYONE can wear it... EVERYONE. PLEASE USE THE AUTO-TRANSLATE FUNCTION. You have the sudden urge to shout a phrase from the auto-translate dictionary at the nearest person! This can be a whole phrase or any combination of phrases. What are you going to yell? "We're chewing the fat"? "I seem to have misplaced my keyboard"? "Miqo'te" "rear"?! THE CURSED SWORD. A shifty merchant sold you a remarkably beautiful Far Eastern katana for an absolute pittance — with just one catch: now that it's been in your possession for a few bells, the sword keeps whispering in your mind, telling you to kill... kill... find stronger prey... hunt... The katana cannot be destroyed or abandoned; it is impervious to assault and any attempt to leave it by the wayside will simply find it in your belongings once more. Will your character succumb to its mystical influence? Find a new owner for it? Try to exorcise the evil spirit lurking within? As always, tag out and have fun!

Pinya feels the rage bleed into the air, but all she does is raise an eyebrow in response.

"Certainly nothing to warrant that reaction, dear. Get yourself together, you're in public." She says nonchalantly.

[provokedultimatum]

The nonchalance just fuels Atha's fury. She doesn't care that they're in public, all that matters is Pinya.

With a roar Atha swings the axe down towards Pinya...

[levelthreehooligan]

"Oh fo-" She dodges neatly out of the way, sidestepping the Axe as easily as breathing with that kind of telegraph. The axe goes swinging into the cobbled floor of the markets.

The guards have been alerted now, the Flames rushing over to the spot that this is taking place, but Pinya holds out her hand. Stay your ground she gestures to them, and they hesitate, watching and waiting for the outcome.

"Was that really necessary?" She asks this woman she doesn't even know, who is apparently down for fisticuffs in the middle of the street at any time.

[provokedultimatum]

"Yes. It. Fucking. Was." Every word is punctuated by a swing of her large axe.

Luckily, although Atha showed remarkable skill with her axe, Pinya is twice as good as a Bard, and Sami and Rhok better with their axes. Not that that is going to stop Atha, she's going to keep swinging until someone is able to restrain her.

It's almost laughable how easy it is for Pinya to dodge the attacks, and she knows it, but evidently whatever she said has actually struck a nerve.

"Okay, that's quite enough." She flicks a hand, calling the spirits of the earth to her side, asking them to hold fast and detain her. They chide her for aggravating this person in the first place.

She makes a sound of disbelief, but she tells them she won't... ignore them, necessarily. That seems to be enough, and they reach out, to clamp down on Athala's legs, gravity playing on her limbs as they slow. It's not a hold-all, more of a suggestion that from here on out that she stop fucking swinging.
