First Tail

[so_many_mes]

the guy said everybody can see what I'm writing just like I can see what everybody else is writing. That is COOL! oh, my name is SAGE and I was just born even though I'm not a baby. I'm definitely not a little kid either! this is what I look like:

You have three seconds to cross out that bit about me, pest.

Don't make me wait.

[He assumes that by "teacups" Sage means the giant teacup-shaped contraptions. It's the only "teacup-esque landmark" he's seen anyway.

It's not long after their exchange that he arrives, noticing how a large group of people climb into the "cups" for no other apparent purpose than to scream their heads off while the mechanisms rapidly spin. The only thing weirder than this freakish place, Rise decides, is the people in it.]

[quicklog] sorry for my slow fff

[so_many_mes]

[Sage himself must be one of those freakish people, as he has absolutely been on the teacups. The presence of potential witnesses for their fight doesn't seem to bother him; they're all pretty distracted by the ride going around and around anyway]

Yo! [frowns at his brother. Yes, he definitely needs to beat him so he can learn how to be more social]

[quicklog] no worries! i've been pretty slow myself

[illusionates]

[Rise doesn't respond to Sage's greeting beyond looking in his direction. He may have commented that this isn't good place for fighting, though from what he's seen of this place, there isn't any good place for fighting. He doesn't care much anyway; this is just means of releasing frustration and also getting acquainted with a skill he had no memory of but felt was important.

He stands away from the crowds and lifts his hands before his face, crouching into an attack position.] Last chance to forfeit.

[quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

No way! Like I would ever give up!

[he just moves his feet apart a little, completely certain that he can face anything Rise throws at him. He was fighting in his dream after all, and totally kicking ass (even if he can't quite remember how)]

[quicklog]

[illusionates]

Suit yourself.

[He dashes from his spot, rushing toward Sage. When close enough, he throws a fist for his chest. It's strange; even without memories, it's like his body inherently knows.]

[[ooc: I had an idea. Since they're fighting publicly, it would likely alert the mannequin security, so maybe they could get interrupted by a rush of them and have to call a truce in order to escape arrest?]]

[quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

[Sage grabs Rise's wrist as his fist strikes his chest, lessening the impact somewhat. It still hurts, and it's a familiar hurt, almost a good one. He grins, showing all his teeth, and simply headbutts]

((ooc: sure that sounds good! since i suck at describing fights anyway. and SORRY AGAIN for my slow, i should be much quicker now that it's the weekend))

[quicklog]

[illusionates]

[His attempt to dodge is only quick enough to escape taking the headbutt full force, but not enough to evade it altogether. The blow momentarily makes his vision swirl, so he relies on his other senses as he takes advantage of his wrist being held, jerking his arm down and lifting his knee.]

[[ooc: Awesome! 8) And no worries!]]

[quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

[the knee to the stomach is really painful, though the pain isn't as bad as having the breath knocked from his lungs. But as Sage stumbles he pulls Rise down with him, so that the two are soon wrestling on the ground, exchanging blows. He doesn't have much in the way of strategy, but he does seem to have little if any fear of being hurt]

[quicklog]

[illusionates]

[This kid is a dirty fighter. Rise doesn't know how he knows that--and doesn't care much--just that he does. He's determined, and while he's not above fighting on the ground, he does try to push himself back up.

However, he's too distracted to notice the swarm of mannequins in security uniforms swarming in from all directions. At least until they start demanding they stop and announce the two are under arrest.]

[quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

[for his part, Sage doesn't notice until they're surrounded until the mannequins swarm in and bodily pull them apart. He's panting, bruised, grinning at Rise and not resisting being pulled away by the place's apparent security]

No win for you. Now you have to be nice to everyone.

[quicklog]

[illusionates]

Che! You didn't win either! [Rise, on the other hand, is not so cooperative. He jerks his shoulders, scowling at the mannequins.] Get off me!

[quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

Yeah well that doesn't mean you didn't lose, so you still have to do it! [he points at Rise as the mannequins are dragging them both off] Or else let's just fight again!

[quicklog]

[illusionates]

[He glares a few silent moments longer, but then he smirks.] Fine. We'll continue another time.

Re: [quicklog]

[so_many_mes]

[Sage decides he pretty much doesn't care that they're being arrested, because he fought and he didn't lose and they're going to fight again] Yeah! Bring it on.

((ooc: want to call it here? and should we still have them doing their penalties for the bet? :') ))

OOC

[illusionates]

[[Yeah, I think this is a good ending spot! 8)b]]
