| 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 Green and Tailpipe 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 K-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.
Green suits up and heads out the door, grabbing a cup of soycaf at a corner quick mart, he gets a ride from a friend to the location. Punching the GPS coordinates into the autnav, they discuss the day, but mostly Matrix related stuff, like smart frames and agents, design, cons and pros. Once they arrive, Green checks in with the locals to get with the "boss" or judge, rules, small shit, etc.
Tailpipe gathers the few things she needs for the trip as she tries to figure out the gps shit on her cellphone. Who the hell uses GPS these days? She finaly gets it figured out, and starts hoofing it at a good pace towards the broke down store, metal and clothing jingling against her in the process. Its not long, but almost not in time, that she makes it to the location and starts trying to find out who or what she's supposed to fight.
Green drops a few poppers (over the counter) and mixes up a quick energy shake. He asks for the actual ring rules, armor, etc etc. Otherwise, it's stretch and ready for him.
Tailpipe hunts around abit, pushing aside the occasional squatter as she looks for the guy that matches her opponents description. Finaly she spots him and pulls her street sign from its holder on her back, giving a swing or two before she lets out a bellow. "Yous done for!" She yells, and charges directly at the fancypants boy she's supposed to fight….or atleast, she things its the right now.
(Assuming) Green doesn't find anyone who he is looking for instead, he checks the pocsec one more time, trying to figure out if he fucked up or if someone is fucking with him. Then someone yells
All Green sees is a Troll wildly charging towards him, holding what looks to be a large street sing with 'Troll crossing' printed on it. It looks well used and rather sharp on the edges. "Pussy boy to da fight!" She howls, her heavy tread thumping across the ground and plowing through the debrie left by the various indigents.
Green the human turns around and flicks his left thumb nail with his index finger. He begins (if he can) reactively backing up to create space. The nail falls down to the floor and as the human moves, it responds and follows after him, as if held by an invisible string.
Still uncertain about the situation or the troll's reasons, the human idles.
Tailpipe doesn't take chances. If its not the right guy…well, she won't appoligize anyways. If it is, all the more for her! And thus as she approaches the sign swings down in a wicked arc right for Greens torso as she approaches, intent on getting the easy kill to win this game.
Green focuses on the troll. Honestly, it's the makeshift weapon that gets his attention. He drops his pocsec and continues to back up, for the moment, to get out of the weapon's swing arc, for the future, to get away from the next thing the trog chicka may throw at him.

Green steps back and sort of waves his hand in a rehearsed matter. The thumb nail, or weighted tip, lashes out in a series of frontal acrs, designed to cover the three levels (high, mid and low) on the horizontal fighting planes. It's a series of attacks, no specific target or area, relying on the whips length and ability to bend around object and still inflict damage.

«Plot» Tailpipe says, "Take a L wound"
Tailpipe 's sign swings in an arc and narrowly misses the jumping jack, suprised to suddenly see a glinting string of something whip out from his hand. It simply ignores the sign as it brushes against the steel haft and slices into one of her hands, leaving a bloody trail across the back of it. "Sonofbitch!" She growls at Green. "Hold still!"

Tailpipe fights against the tangle of wire, her attention broken by trying to avoid the worst of the filiments being flung at her. "Dirty human. Don't know how ta fight." She mutters as she reaches into a pocket and pulls out a small grenade. "Fight dirty, you get dirty." the activated grenade drops to the ground. Beep. Beep. Be…

«Plot» Tailpipe says, "Tailpipe completely soaks."
The shockwave hits the human head on, the overpressure knocking the wind out of him, blurring his vision, even with the dampeners, the hearing gets affected. Out of stance and out of breath, Green take time to refocus with a series of standard attacks, again, attacking across all three horizontal zone, but also incorporate some left to right, up-down movement, to cover more area and more angle. Longer sequence, more whip time.

«Auto-Judge[TRUE]» Tailpipe (#3144) uses 1 of item 14: IPE Concussive Grenades from Densiplast Ammo Crate (#8953).
Tailpipe is like a brick wall as the concussive wave washes past her, like she's done this before. But its still not enough as the bedamned whip continues to whirl and slice at her, catching across her arms and leaving long red slices bleeding profusely where it touched. She lets out a hiss and can see a losing battle for her if this keeps up, but can do little but try to fend off the little bastard until her chance comes up.
«Plot» Green will try and center off the penalties using a free action. -1 for reach and -2 for damage. TN4 +3(the penalties) -adept grade. Final TN4. If there is any issues with that, please let me know.

«Plot» Green is at M stun and S phys.
Green regains his composure although the physical effects of the blast overpressure still persist. The human does get back to a nice loose stance and the whip returns to the rest position. With a whisper of a song in a long forgotten Japanese dialect, the human adept lets the "chi" flow through him to focus and try to ignore the pain, ignore the opponent's size and strength and deliver a coup-de-grace the way he has rehearsed for many times.
The attack fails as the tip comes around and the human's eyes widen. The whip lands on his own shoulder, slicing through the jacket and leaving a nasty bloody gash on his shoulder, separating muscle and leaving his "meat" arm immobile from shoulder down.
After the whip comes the sign, hitting him square on the button, making him bleed, brake bones and gasp for air.

Tailpipe pushes the attack as the pinkskin slips himself some sort of drug. "Is not doing dat!" She cries, swinging the sign one last time with all of her strenght and apparently catching him distracted from his drugging up. A solid hit as well, the excedingly sharp edge of the sign sliceing against his ribcage in a bloody trail and laying flesh aside, the blow powerful enough to send him flying backwards to land on his back and completely unconcious. It takes her a few moments to realize the guy isn't getting up, and lets herself sag a bit and use the weapon as a support and taking a few long breaths. Short brutal battle, and only by bizare luck did she manage to win it. Well, luck and a grenade.
Green takes a nasty spill as one of the ribs digs into the main artery just centimeters from his heart. His left lung collapses and the spinal column is twisted as the 14,15,16,18 vertebra crack and shatter. His diaphragm is punctured and the lower organs freely float into the space previously occupied by the lung that is now collapsed. His body goes into shock and immediately shuts down, making him out cold, bleeding with torn and punctured organs.
