"buddy you're a boy make a big noise;"

[alloys]

Who: Tony, fight participants, medical aide, and whoever wants to come watch!
What: Fight club!
When: Thursday, February 9th
Where: The tunnels
Summary: Placing bets and taking swings.
Rating: PG-13?
Let's get ready to rumble, boys and girls! A few quick notes:

Double check the fight roster--I moved some things around, namely matching up Firo with Homura since their respective opponents weren't able to participate. Let me know if something is amiss!

Characters who are fighting will be told their opponent's name upon arrival, and fights will proceed in the order they appear on the roster up there. Let me know if you need to be moved around for whatever reason!

Tony and Shikamaru will be policing the fights for any funny business, but fights will end when one of the participants forfeits or gets knocked out cold. So your character can get bloodied, bludgeoned, and broken and keep going if they wish! Remember, there's no magic since this is in the tunnels, and there are no weapons allowed in the fights. Just your fists, elbows, et cetera.

And should they have some owwies that need attention, Adele, Katara, Luca and Ange will be on hand to provide medical assistance. What troopers.

Spectators can interact however and whenever they want, so feel free to start a new thread for your character who is watching!

Now have fun, and earn some radical new scars while you're at it!

[Open air. He can't be far from where his foot is centered though - Shikamaru considers bringing his leg down hard as he straightens but no. Bad idea. If Masaomi is there he can just catch it. Might've been worth the risk if it weren't for his ribs, but they're already suffering with the last move he did. Better off using that second to bring his leg back and get right back on the defensive.]

[Even with the blows he's taken so far, Masaomi's core strength is ridiculous, give he's apparently able to spring back up from being knocked by a crumbling blow. As he does here. and once back up, he's going for alternating set of punches again. Shikamaru dodged this sort of assault easily before, but]

[endgames]

[But he's slowing down and he knows it. He dodges the first, takes the second across the nose which immediately starts to bleed (doesn't help with the dizziness he's feeling either), and thinks screw it before even trying to dodge the rest. He moves as if he will, but then drops down for a leg sweep.

...even if it works - follow up with a chop if it does) - he probably won't be getting back up from that. He's just getting in as many hits as he can before he's done and he knows it, making the expression on his face a little out of place.]

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi, meanwhile, is falling into the anger. He's so pleased to have gotten in that second punch and pleased even more when it looks like he's going to get in the third. As it is, he is distracted from Shikamaru's trip. That makes him stumble some and the chop connects too. For any normal teenager, that might have given him more pause than it does (though he will be feeling both later.

But he was winning - winning. He grits his teeth and in some impossibly movement (to anyone who wasn't as resilient and strong as him) he springs back up to a properly standing position to try to stomp Shikamaru.

[He's wiping some of the blood from his nose when he sees what Masaomi is doing there - sees how pissed he's getting. Shikamaru observes with lazy interest.]

Hey. [His voice is calm, albeit nasal. That foot is going to come down in a second, and he's eying it like he about expects it to.] I'm done.

[He won't move. He can't.

What happens next happens.]

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi's control isn't totally perfect.

Unless someone like Tony or Katara or something steps in Despite his eyes widening with recognition he's really not going to be able to stop his foot entirely in time. Reflex is a stronger impulse to him right now than the fact that Shikamaru and Katara both told him to stop. What he does do is when he realizes what he's doing he tries to shift his aim, not going for the chest again, not the face-

If it lands down it'll instead either be on the ground or possibly on something else very close to where his friend is. And when he does stop, he's breathing heavily. Still in shock because he just-

won?]

[If this is happening, he wants to see it. He doesn't look away; doesn't flinch. Doesn't fully register what's happened until he hears it slam down and-]

[Blinks. Blinks again. There's the smack of his shoe hitting something, but no agony to follow it so... he's good then. He's good. They're done.

Masaomi pulled it off.

It hurts to move; it hurts to breathe. It hurts to think about just how far he has to go to get to where he wants to be. It hurts and he knew it would; knew this too and he's proud.

So that's all right.]
