| The channels to get signed up for the tournament run through the trix Shadowlands. Much akin to the setup of the unarmed tournament earlier this month, the rules are somewhat different and what little 'rules' that exist were explained within it. The contestants are signed up through the 'trix and no initial location is given for the first fight. Instead they are notified that they will be sent a GPS location within the Warrens, a time to be there, and an opponent.
Early on a Saturday morning, the respective communits of Calavera and Cole go off. The text comes from the 'Conductor' and provies everything that was promised: A GPS location, a picture of the opponent, and a time to be there. Against the current time, it only gives the two 20 minutes to arrive there. If punched into a mapsoft or simple trix search, the GPS location is within a derelict building in the Warrens. The old Wal-Mart building, a relic from an era past, that is little more than a shell of it's former self that houses a community of squatters and worse.
It's been a long time coming. She eyes herself in the mirror of what once had been the bathroom. Brushed and polished steel can hold a reflection for some time. She closes her left eye as she smears black paint through the eye socket, covering the recess with a black cake that highlights in contrast to the white base covers the rest of her features. Fingers draw crude, but evocative 'teeth' across her lips and cheeks. She washes her hands in a water of canteen, allowing the remains to splatter across the floor.
She picks up her armored jacket, sliding it on over her less-than-slender frame, feeling it cinch and snug around the shoulders. Enough room to move, not enough to snag. It's how she likes it. She tosses an eye to the homeless man watching her dress, but doesn't pay him any particular malice. She doesn't need to.
Cole eagerly awaits the phonecall, and frowns when he sees it's just a text. Looking at it, he thinks to himself 'Drek, GPS Coordinates!' and calls an aquatance of his whom has a terminal. Having his fixer contact send him an address, he quickly foots it through the warrens to get to his fight.
After a small time passes, Cole ends up at the building in question, barely on time. Strolling on in with a dancing stride, he takes a glance at the picture on his cellphone, then looks around the room for his opponent, idlely drawing his weapon of choice: A dikoted katana.
Calavera rolls her neck as she moves, methodically, to the center of the building now. Her face paint is perfect. On someone else (Juggloes, anyone?) the getup may seem comical, but the deadly determination with which the woman walks and the dignity she exudes as she moves, put any thought of chuckling to the side. Across her back are strapped two Atalatal Arms kinet-i-blades, wicked curved handles indicating a whirling fighting style.
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) uses 1 of item 3: Expendable Anchoring Foci (Armor R4) from General gear (#1360).
«Auto-Judge[]» AdamLOG2 (#3017) rolls 2 (to Calavera) for "Successes on Expendable Anchoring Foci":
4 5
Casually strolling to the center of the ring, Cole looks his opponent over while putting his cellphone into one of the many pockets on his urban camoflage. As he finishes, he grips the katana in both hands, but wields it more as kung fu artist would a dao, and less like a samurai would a katana.
"Shall we dance, lovely lady?" Cole asks, starting to bob his stance to the beat of music only he can hear.
Shaking her head slowly, Calavera reaches one hand back, unlimbering the one of the blades at her back. She rolls her neck, feeling the pulse quicken and the blood race. Combat is here. Dying time is upon them both. She looks over to the other man. "Hijo, esto no es un baile. Respeto lo que es, o va a sangrar." She intones, the sillibant spanish falling from her lips with grace.
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Environmental Effects: A Player may utilize the enviroment's many shelves, rafters, walls, hobos, etc to gain an 'Advantage' bonus as described in the books. This requires a Complex Action and exists until the opponent spends a Complex Action to neutralize it (by gaining the advantage themselves or removing it). This does not stack, so the most you can ever have is the -1 TN as described in SR3. You can not both have the 'Advantage' at the same time, think 'Reach' for Environmental manipulation."
As the contestants arrive— there is a local broadcast channel that is opened up for betting. Right now it looks like Calvera has the advantage, being given 2:1 odds over Cole. At the very top of the channel is a marque that scrolls text saying the following: Criticalfault's Fixing services - For when you need just the right item to put the Fault right in your opponents Critical!
Given the iconic and audial nature of the dystopian future, a little icon also speaks it to those with ear buds (or speakers) in a multitude of languages.
A slight grin forming on his face, Cole responds, "Lady, I got no idea what you just said, but that was HOT." putting extra emphasis on the final word. "Alright, lets do this!" he adds, moving forward to start the fight with his opponent.
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Initiative with a result of 18.
«Auto-Judge[]» Cole (#5886) rolls Initiative with a result of 17.
«OOC» Calavera says, "I am making a pose that comes before the +init, for purposes of action tracking."
An Icon (Gene) connects in the matrix-space set aside for the event. A wounded WW2 soldier wrapped in bandages with the handle 'Specs'. He checks the odds and the fighters, and places down 10,000 nuyen on Calavera
Flipping the blade inelegantly in her hand, Calavera's form betrays a rough, brutal fighting style that is not very refined. Her off hand draws a boot knife, a 10 inch blade for her off hand. It's matte black and is held in a reverse, knife-fighters grip. She eyes Cole for a long moment as she steps forward…
"You talk to much, Gringo."
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls 2:
1 2
«OOC» Calavera says, "My eyes burn out."
«OOC» Calavera says, "Shifting to Ultrasound. I am at +4 TN."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Cole: Do you have Flare Comp?"
«Plot» Cole says, "No, only blind fighting which negates 2 of any vision mod penalties."
«Plot» Calavera says, " My eyes have burned out. +4 TN as I shift to Ultrasound, under the rule of +4 TN if you can only perceive the target with ultrasound."
«Plot-Page» (To: Cole) AdamLOG2 says, "Go ahead and roll body v TN 12. M Stun base. Each box of stun adds an additional +TN to being dazed. We'll handle Blind Fighting in a moment."
«Auto-Judge[]» Cole (#5886) rolls Body vs TN 12 for "Suckage.":
3 5 8 9 = 0 Successes
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Keep or Karma?"
«Plot» Cole says, "Stand."
«Plot-Page» (To: Cole) AdamLOG2 says, "Do you have the Adept Power Blind Fighting or the Maneuver Blind Fighting?"
«Plot» Calavera says, " Initial Melee TN's are at 8 for myself, 12(10) for Cole."
«Plot-Page» (To: AdamLOG2) Cole says, "The maneuever, linked to edged"
«Plot» Calavera says, " There is a curious conflict in the book and HR. It is being resolved."
«Plot» Calavera says, " While my cyberware is specifically called 'superflash', and according to the +news rules super, and +news rules superflash, its a +8TN for failure, I accept that that my eyes are 'bright light's ystems as described on P 15 of Man and Machine."
«Plot» Calavera says, " This is not an argument, but a clear statement I think theres a bad grey area here and should be addressed and I'm not fighting for the bonus."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 nods. And cleared up the mods. Calavera SuperFlashed, went blind. Cole took the full Flash. Calv has Ultra, which is +4. Vision mods halved in melee puts her at a total +2. Cole ends up with M Stun and +3 'dazed' from the flash. Blind Fighting Maneuver (if used) can reduce that to +1. This puts him at +3 or +5. Game on for poses, results, and other such shenanigans.
Never let them see you sweat. As she triggers the superflash with a mental command, she knows something is wrong. Heat build up in the cornial cavity is beyond stresstest norms, the biomonitor screams across her image link a moment before it goes dark, like a television turning off.
Never admit weakness. She shifts to Ultrasound, the world resolving around her with a fuzzy lack of clarity but still enough to operate by. Without her image link, targeting notations are offline, so she focuses. Cutting out the extraneous, the unnecessary data, she charges forth. This battle will be very short, if he can see her at all, but she will give no indication she's wounded; no indication she's damaged. No indication she's -weak-.
Weakness is for bitches.
The bad kind.
«OOC» Calavera says, "Checking: My TN is base 4?"
«OOC» Calavera says, "Err 6"
«OOC» Cole applies reach penalty to you.
«OOC» Cole says, "Base TN for melee is 4…"
«OOC» Cole hmms, doesn't apply reach penalty to you.
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Base tn is 4(6) for Calv."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Base TN is 4(9) for Cole w/o Blind Fighting and 4(7) with."
«OOC» Calavera says, "My action is to climb."
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Athletics vs TN 4 for "4-2(supernatural Balence)+2(Blindmod)":
2 4 4 5 7 = 4 Successes
«OOC» Calavera says, "Please let me know what sort of purchase I can gain?"
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "You can gain an Advantageous position, which is -1 TN."
There. The high ground. Calavera diverts from her attack to leap over a trash can, one foot catching on the edge of a dumster on its side. She leaps in to the air, coming to alight on top of a row of shelving. She goes over the options. She knows the terrain, but she's blind. An unknown opponant who uses quality weaponry. But on the down side, he doesn't speak spanish, so he's clearly an idiot…
«OOC» Calavera says, "Thats my action."
«OOC» Calavera ooohs.
"Drek, you dirty cheat!" Cole exclaims, raising his arm in front of his face to shield his eyes. Too little too late, he's seeing spots of bright blue. Calming himself, he starts to relly on his other senses… He's trained for this relatively recently. This is nothing. Hearing his opponents movements, he realizes she's taken the high ground.
"Well this is opportune. I can now simply wait for my vision to recover." Cole says, taking a few steps back to keep out of range. 'Why didn't she attack? She has the advantage.' he ponders in the back of his mind.
«Plot» Cole says, "I take a few steps back and hold action."
«Plot» Calavera says, " Resolving another quick question before I declare next action."
«Plot» Cole says, "Holding action into the start of the next phase."
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Intelligence vs TN 4:
1 1 2 3 3 = 0 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Intelligence vs TN 4 for "KP 1":
3 4 5 5 15 = 4 Successes
«Plot» Calavera says, " Adept Power: Motion Sense. Negates -2 Vision Penalties. I return to base 0 penalties, TN 4 to hit."
«Plot» Cole says, "I will be adding +1 reach penalty to your rolls, then."
«Plot» Calavera says, " Counter with my own reach. I have a sword too, you know."
«Plot» Cole says, "Do you? Crap."
"Cheating." Says the woman, casting her voice /sotto/ as she moves, blade whirling in her hand as she moves to exploit her advantage. "Is called winning in Aztlan."
With that, she comes in for what she hopes is a decisive engagement.
«Plot» Calavera says, " Attacking, natch."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "TN is 3 to hit. You have the -1 Advantage bonus."
«Plot» Cole says, "I'm too far away."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "By taking a 'Few steps back' you meant a CA to negate Advantage, then?"
«Plot» Cole says, "I moved away from the shelf in my last action to negate the advantage"
«Plot» AdamLOG2 nods. TN 4 then.
«Plot» Calavera says, " I accept that, no problem."
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Edged Weapons + Combat Pool: 4 vs TN 4 for "Reach negated. Ares Monosword. St+3M damage.":

«Auto-Judge[]» Cole (#5886) rolls Edged Weapons + Combat Pool: 6 vs TN 7 for "Disarming":

1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 7 = 1 Success
«Plot» Cole says, "Standing at 9 successes."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Hold up a moment. :) Disarming is a Maneuver. Blind Fighting is a Maneuver. You can only do 1 Maneuver an init pass. Which do you want?"
«Plot» Cole says, "Disarming is not a manuever, it's a general combat option, and blind fighting may be used with any manuever/combat option."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "1 But. Using it now."
«Plot» Calavera says, " So whats the verdict?"
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "Verdict is that +info combat maneuvers universal is not accurate. They are Combat Options. Combat Options can be used in conjunction with Maneuvers if explictly stated in the maneuver. Blind Fighting states any option can be used with it. It stands."
«Plot» Calavera says, " Alright."
It doesn't take long for Cole's question to be answered. She was just trying to get high ground and didn't count on the retreat. 'Gotta do something about to even these odds…' he thinks to himself as she goes slicing towards him with the monosword. Then it happens. She makes a swing that's just a little too wide, and it's all Cole needed. With a flick to the hilt, he makes her choose between her sword and her hand. Making the right choice, she drops the weapon at her feet.
"Was a nice try, but I think it's my turn." he says moving into a dancing pattern and going on the offensive.
«OOC» Calavera says, "New round. That was 2 actions each."
«OOC» Calavera says, "Wait, no."
«OOC» Cole says, "Yeah, I get to smack you."
«OOC» Calavera says, "that was MY attack. Now its yours."
«Plot» Cole says, "Declaring Blind Fighting, and I will use my reach bonus to add +1 to your TN."
«OOC» Calavera nods.
«Auto-Judge[]» Cole (#5886) rolls Edged Weapons vs TN 7 for "Swing!":

«OOC» Calavera says, "I will pose."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "KD Attack, then?"
«OOC» Calavera says, "No."
«OOC» Calavera says, "Humiliation."
«Plot» AdamLOG2 nods.
The woman watches as her sword goes falling. It's a tool; its an object for doing a job. When it ceases to be useful, you cast it aside. The monoblade bites in to the ground, then topples over without so much as a grunt from her.
When he comes in for his next attack, she… doesn't even appear to be concerned. It's a sort of confidence that could be unsettling, if one could see it. She slides in, then under, then around his blade. One hand reaches up to grab his shirt, pulling him in for…
A kiss. A messy, sloppy kiss that leaves white-cake make up on his face as she kicks back and away, to come up in to a fighting stance.
"You kiss like a BOY."

«OOC» Calavera says, "Dodged."
Her confidence continues as he comes at her with the sword, faster than she expected. The blade comes in, but she just seems to be, without trying, without any flashy Neo-like reality bending, she just seems to not be where the sword is. Effortless.
She recovers, one hand moving to her side to draw and activate the Ares Predator III she keeps holstered. "Take my blade, and you change the fight, Hijo. I said you would bleed."
«Plot» Calavera says, " Simple action: Draw. Simple Action: Fire."
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) rolls Pistols + Combat Pool: 6 vs TN 4 for "TN is 4+4(Ultrasound)-2(Motion Sense)-2(Smartlink 2)":

«OOC» Calavera says, "Pred is only SA, so you're looking at TN 4+mods to dodge."
«OOC» Calavera says, "So uh…no blind fighting to help this one."

«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) has the Attribute Body with the value '5 (9)'.
«Auto-Judge[]» Calavera (#1192) has the Adept Power Side Step with the following information:
«OOC» Calavera says, "Beat on me. I'll keep coming."
«OOC» Cole laughs, nods.
«OOC» Cole says, "So am I losing a leg here? Or do you want me to roll that."
«OOC» Calavera says, "Lets assume for the moment, that you're down and out. I don't mind you being conscious, but your leg is useless. Why can be determained later."
«OOC» Cole nods.
«Plot» AdamLOG2 says, "More or less. Leg down. Sad panda. But you have doctors coming in anyway. Game on. :)"
"Like I said, hot stuff. And thanks for the kiss, babe!" Cole says, taking another swipe at her with his sword. The swing completely misses as she simply steps to the side.
Then the unthinkable happens.
BLAM!!
Cole crumples to the floor as his right leg is shot out from under him. "I think… I think you owe me for that one…" He says from the floor, starting to bleed out already. "That was some serious cheating…" he adds, letting go of his sword and putting a hand out to show he's done.
Moments later, everything goes dark as he passes out from either the pain or the blood loss.
She steps over to retreive her blade while holstering her gun. "THIS!" She says, picking up the sword… "IS A SWORD! YOU FIGHT WITH IT! IF YOU TAKE MY SWORD AWAY AND YOU ATTACK ME, IT IS NOT A SWORD -FIGHT- BUT ANOTHER KIND OF FIGHT." A pause as she slides the sword over her shoulder…
She picks up the sword that Cole was using it, hefting it. "A fight I -will- win."
With her trophy, she turns to fade in to the darkness.
As the opponent goes down, there is a waiting period to make sure that they are not getting back up. Two men appear on the scene with white jackets on and a red 'medical' pin on them. They go over the fallen with a Savior medkit and an astral survey of injuries. The betting channel closes and fund are transfered for those that won.
To the victor, simply another text: Congradulations. You proceed to the next round.
After some initial diagnostics they take out an expandable gurney and transfer Cole's limp body onto it. Hoisting the man up the trio head outside of the Wal-Mart building after calling in a certain MASH and advanced services for this case.
