GBE vs. Swix: Team Event!

[GBE]

((I will be roleplaying as Kinesis, Surge, Josh and Kafka in this event. Swix, lets get this on!

Oh, and we need a judge. Any takers?))

Surge is the first one to enter the arena, and finds himself suitably impressed with the size and scale of the arena. It is a vast green land, with the occasional tree spotted about, and a forest just on the edge of the green plain circling around from the right to the left, in a semi-circular fashion. To the right is a large lake, several metres deep, and at least twenty feet in length and thirty feet in width. Around the plain there are a few boulders spread about randomly. Surge thought there would definitely be rocks and stones spread around somewhere.

Dressed in tatty, dirty jeans and faded purple t-shirt and trainers that used to be white, but are now brown verging on black, with a few holes spread about them. His hair is about the tidiest thing about him, looking partially combed, most likely by hand. He looks like he’s also only just washed his face. He has fingerless red gloves on his hands, holes occasionally dotted about them, parts of them even looking burnt. He pats his back pocket and finds a crumpled box of cigarettes, and opens it, he pulls out a cigarette and lighter, and taking a deep inhalation, he flicks the lighter, and lights up the cigarette. Placing the lighter back in the box, he stuffs them back into his back pocket, and steps down in to the plain and looks around for his challengers.

Not far behind him follows Kafka. Wearing only an animal skin around his loins at the moment, his oddly thin body is ripped with muscles. His hair is a light brown/white colour, quite short and spiky. At the moment he only has two arms and two legs. He looks around, his enhanced vision picks up the detail about the plains. Not that he takes them in, he takes most things for granted. He walks next to Surge, and coughs as the smoke drifts into his nose, and rubs left eye as it also drifts into it, “What is that?” he asks.

Surge takes the cigarette out of his mouth, holding it firmly between two fingers, “It’s a cigarette. Wha’, you never sin one ‘fore?” His dialect is a little difficult to place, but the accent is American. He taps the cigarette once, ignoring the falling ash. Kafka watches in some amazement.

Josh peers around the corner, and sees the plains, and steps out. He looks with wide eyes, it looks like home, almost. Dressed in his brown leather trousers, animal skin top, with sleeves just reaching over his shoulders, a ‘v’ in the front of it, and basic sandals he steps out into the open, and kneels down. He brushes his hand over the grass, and rips some of it up, and brings the grass to his nose. Inhaling it deeply, he closes his eyes, and tries to imagine home. Opening his eyes, he drops the grass, “We should find cover, they could be anywhere…”

Surge nods once, “Ya’ right there, ya’ are youngster. One of ya’s should git behind boulder or summin’. I’ll take the front, y’other two stick tagether fe’ now, yeh?”

Kinesis steps out. He’s wearing baggy jeans, with a large grey, long sleeved top, with a black stripe running down its left. He’s wearing a brown leather coat, that stops at waist height. His ginger-ish hair is his most striking feature. He looks the most unconfident of the group. His eyes continuously flicker around his team, and around the arena. His white and green trainers merge oddly with the grass as he walks up towards Josh. They look almost the same age, although Josh looks somewhat wiser, and more mature for his age, even a little more muscular. Their clothing styles clash to anyone watching them.

Josh points to a boulder a few metres ahead, “I’ll take the boulder position.” He runs, keeping himself low, in case there’s anyone planning on attacking from long distance. Kinesis, otherwise known as Seth, runs low as well after Josh. Obviously feeling much more confident with someone his own age, Seth keeps himself well hidden behind the boulder, waiting for Josh to make the first move.

Kafka runs and leaps into the air incredibly nimbly. As he lands, both knees only partially bent, he leaps again into the air and lands, knees now fully bent. Stopping his momentum by taking two steps, he stands up straight and looks around the arena, he watches for any sign of movement. All the while, Surge has just stood there and taken another small draw on the cigarette, taking a long exhalation through his mouth. He watches Josh and Kinesis more than Kafka, concerned somewhat about who they might be facing…

((14 day challenge!))

[Swix]

((I'm going to use Fade, Tina, DM and Tala... can you say 'mismatched' ))

A tall woman with blue hair tied back in a neat, tight platt walks into the Arena. Cold, watery grey eyes scan the surroundings. A lake, trees and boulders that would provide cover and grass that covered the entire area were all taken in and processed.

Fade however listened more than she looked, her enhanced hearing was by far the most prominent of her abilities. Her skintight blue clothing barely moved in the wind, though the jacket she wore on top of it all seemed a little looser than the rest.

Neither a smile nor frown passed the assassins steely countenance as she gazed at the opponent who'd stepped forwards.

Up in the trees, close by, she can hear a slight rustle as the younger mutant named Blue slightly shifts her position. DM's draconic tail hangs down from the branch on which she was perched, her wings partially unfurled, giving her the look of a creature ready to leap. Her bright yellow, slitted eyes gaze out of the shadows that the tree provides, her fangs slightly poke out of her mouth. Her pale skin contrasts greatly with her black clothing and hair, though this makes her position a little harder to see.

Behind Fade two others emerge. Tala, who appears to be no more than a mere young woman, brown hair falling down to her shoulders. Tala was shorter than Fade, being only 5 foot tall, her clothing was also different. It was a little looser, and silver in colour. Brown eyes tinted with yellow surveyed with wolfish cunning as the werewolf took in the scents. She already knew there were two others there, close by.

The other is a woman who is around the same age as Tala, though since she was spliced with three other creatures as part of a super-soldier program she's lost quite a few of her human features. Tina's bat like ears twitched, the hood attached to them moving slightly in response, although it was not currently open. Her bat like wing-arms were down by her sides and folded, making her look small. Her snake tail curled about one of her legs, in order to stop herself from accidentally tripping over it. The escaped experiment was still a little clumsy when it came to that. Her clothing, like DM's, was completely black, and unlike the others Tina had no hair. Light brown and intelligent eyes looked over at their opponent.

Fade took a step forwards, now that everyone was here. The assassin extended a hand towards Surge, an obvious gesture that she wanted him to shake it.

"I have learned this is customary"

She said, no hint of anything in her voice except for cold calculation.

[GBE]

Surge regards the group carefully, he was always cautious about judging anybody on face value. But he was certain that the woman offering her hand was probably the most experienced fighter out of her team here. Wiping his hand on his t-shirt, although he wasn’t even sure himself if that helped to make his hand any cleaner, he takes the woman’s hand, and shakes it, “’Spose ‘tis polite ting to do” he says with an appreciative nod. Retracting his hand, “’Spose we should gerron with it?” Again, he looks around the three out of four that he can see. The fourth one hidden somewhere.

Josh, stands as much as he dared and peered from behind the boulder. Almost instantly his tattoo partially revealed itself, three of them had anamorphic properties, although, he himself didn’t know this word, he just assumed them to be partially beast like. What they were for sure he couldn’t be certain, needless to say, he knew there were three, although, the three he could see weren’t the three he could feel partially. Scratching his face, the small streaks where pressure was placed onto his skin eventually disappear.

Seth peered from behind the rock also, wanting to get a good look at who he was going to have to battle, he wasn’t going to enjoy, or look forward to this, but he was going to have to try and do his best. He was just thankful his father had helped him practice with his abilities.
Kafka cycled through his enhanced vision, looking for the fourth, and barely spotted something odd, a tail swinging from within the trees. He couldn’t make out much more than that.

Surge raises a hand to his mouth as he takes a large intake on his cigarette, and then takes hold of it, breathing out slowly as he did, expelling the grey smoke which danced merrily on the slight breeze flowing through the vast plain. “How we startin’ this thing then?” he asks, as he taps on the cigarette again, causing a small cascade of ash to fall to the grass, bouncing only once a few millimetres of the ground…

[Swix]

Fade watched Surge as he took her hand and shook it, the assassin briefly studied the thin film of grime he'd left on it before she wiped it on her jacket. Cleanliness didn't concern her at all right now, the fact that he'd seemed to have only recently washed accounted for his hygiene, or lack thereof.

A low rumble moved through the wind, though it didn't have anything to do with any environmental factors. The werewolf Tala was growling low in her throat. She'd had to remind herself over and over again that she was a Guardian, and that meant balance was important. So being a part of this team wasn't so bad, as there were after all members from four different groups in it. But she still felt uncomfortable working with an EC member, even if she did have a cool head almost all the time.

Tina glanced at her partner in alarm, usually when someone growled it meant they were about to do something foolish. But the escaped experiment breathed a sigh of relief as Tala toned it down so much so that only one with enhanced hearing such as herself would still notice.

DM glanced around from her position in the branches of a tree. She could only see one of their opponents and wanted to know where the other three were, it seems they were doing the same as her and hiding. There was that and she didn't want to be jumped from behind, which would put her at an immediate disadvantage.

DM squinted in Kafkas direction, she was almost sure she'd seen something there, a shadow among shadows, but since her sight was not enhanced she dismissed it as her being paranoid.

"Indeed, we should get on with this" Fade answered Surge's first question first, moving one of her hands to the inside pocket of her jacket and withdrawing her Sapphire Dagger. The weapon that was made entirely from the precious blue stone glinted and shone in the sunlight. While it's beauty was lost on the assassin, it's practicality wasn't, so the Sapphire Dagger would ever remain Fade's main weapon.

Fade watched Surge as he tapped the cigarette, ash falling and bouncing on the ground between them.

"I believe we were to all fight together, simultaneously. Unless you saw a different version of the rules than I"

Fade stated, as both Tina and Tala readied themselves for anything.

[GBE]

Surge nods slowly, "Yessa. Those there were tha rules. I gots no problems with them." He takes another draw on his cigarette, enjoying the relaxing and stress relieving chemicals contained within it. Again, he brings his arm to a lower position and taps on it, causing the ash to fall off.

There, Kafka thought, he could see the tail shift slightly. There was definately somebody hiding in those trees. He quickly runs into the treeline, and maks his way to about a metre inside. Silently, he steps through the trees and the plants, avoiding stepping on the loose branches as he makes his way towards DM. Just there in the distance, he can see the tail, barely, between a few tree canopies.

Surge narrows his eyes a Kafka races into the trees, wondering why he's gone there and where he's going. His attention, for those few seconds is taken away from Fade...
Seth accidentally stumbles from behind the boulder, and immediately scratches the back of his head as he turns to look at the look of disdain from Surge. He then looks back at the other three, somewhat nervously.

Josh remains hidden, hoping that he still has something of an advantage, not that he wasn't annoyed by the clumsiness of one of his team mates, but hopefully it wouldn't such a bad thing for them now. He waits for the right moment to move...

[Swix]

Fade is not what she is for no reason. Seeing Surge take his attention off her, and now they had established the rules between them she immediately took advantage of his distraction by lunging forwards.

Her left hand, the one not containing the Sapphire Dagger is brought straight towards his face, meaning to punch him using both her strength and momentum.

Tina extends her wing-arms fully outwards after Seth had revealed himself rather clumsily from behind the rock. That had been Fade's signal, the one she'd instructed them to watch for. The second she went to attack, they were to attack as well.

The escaped experiment's intelligent eyes singled Seth out, her wing-arms flapped downwards once as she jumped into the air. Her tail uncurled from around her legs and Tina made a b-line straight for Seth, though it seemed she was aiming to pass up and over him.

Tala's growling remained quiet but it didn't cease. It seemed her two team mates were already going for the two they could see. Tala sniffed the air, just to make sure. The third and unseen one she guessed would be hers to fight.

The werewolf purposefully walked towards the rock Josh was hiding behind, there wasn't really much point in pretending she didn't know he was there anymore.

Tala crouched, her hands sought a grip on the large rock in front of her. Just finding two places where her hands could grip it, the werewolf heaved the rock to the side in order to expose Josh's hiding place.

DM's tail twitched in the trees, there was that movement again, that shadow. She'd just caught it, as you would catch something out of the corner of your eyes.

"Either there's something over there or my mind's playing tricks on me"

She muttered, in two minds about whether to investigate and found out once and for all, or to stay up in the treetops where she was and possibly get jumped.

Making her mind up, DM stood up where she had been perched on the branch. As an added precaution however, she spent a fair amount of concentration and energy making a copy of herself. The copy wasn't solid however as it was meant as a mere form of distraction should there be something or someone up there.

DM and her 'clone' opened their wings and pushed them down hard as they both jumped from the branch and landed. DM's copy 'landing' in a tree opposite her.

The process was carefully repeated as DM made her way towards Kafka's position, her bright yellow eyes looking around apprehensively.

[GBE]

Surge had seen movement coming towards him, and taking a step back as he brought one hand up towards his mouth, and placing the cigarette there, he moved his left leg back, placing all of his weight onto that leg. As he did, he turned towards Fade, bringing his right knee up towards her mid-section, whilst simultaneously clasping his hands together to bring them down on the back of Fades head in a hammer style punch.

Seth looked on as Tina took a small leap and flew up into the air towards him. He turns and begins to run in the direction Tina is flying in an attempt to try and outrun her. He runs as fast as he can, turning and heading towards the lake. He can see it, quite a few metres away. He occasionally turns his head to see where she is, almost stumbling over several rocks scattered about the plains, hidden well by the lush green grass. All he could think was, ‘GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!’. He managed to refrain from shouting this out however.

Josh stood up as Tala easily shifted the boulder to one side, in her human form. He’d rarely seen people so strong, and even then, he’d never seen a woman perform such an achievement, He was slightly in awe of her, but, he knew this was a fight for a reason. However, he’s not stupid enough to take someone on directly. Clutched in one hand was a small rock, hidden just to the side of him out of view. Seeing Tala was still moving the boulder, he takes aim, and rearing his arm back, lifting his right leg of the ground slightly, as he threw his right arm forwards, he released the rock, aiming for Tala’s face.

As he moved closer, Kafka saw two things move this time. They were identical and moved in separate directions. He missed their landing, and couldn’t see where they’d moved to. Deciding on a new tack, he climbs a tree easily, as if he were breathing, and transforms into a large spider, with brown colourations broken up by slightly yellowish markings. That coupled with the daylight and the green of the leaves, and the brown of the bark, it helped to break his body and colourings within the tree canopies as he moved silently forwards.

His appearance of a Sri Lankan Ornamental is one of beauty. The underside of him is black, with yellow bands running across parts of his legs, at an even height. He gently touches ahead with his two forelegs, longer than the rest of his other legs, looking for safe purchase and anything that might constitute as prey. His cluster of eyes look around carefully for his quarry, not knowing entirely what his quarry looked like…

[Swix]

Fade found the wind knocked out of her as Surge kneed her in the gut, after having stepped back and avoided her punch. Her body instinctively doubled over as both his hands crashed down upon her head, making her see stars.

Fade blinked the visual discomfort away before briefly analysing her situation for an advantage she could pull out of her failed attack. Seeing an opportunity Fade made to grab the leg that had just brought her down and quickly move back, in order to take Surge off-balance.

Tina's wing-arms move forwards and back in a grabbing motion, as bats do, so she 'caught' the air and moved it behind her in order to keep herself airborne.
Why is he running over there?
Tina thought, worriedly eyeing both the lake and Seth, who just managed to keep ahead of her.

Tala is hit in the face by the small rock Josh threw at her as she moved the considerably larger one to the side. The werewolf dropped it as a small red welt appeared on her cheek where the rock had hit her, and clapped a hand to the side of it. This time, she couldn't help the growling in her throat build up until it was noticable by even those hard of hearing.

"Want to play rough do you? Rough is a wolfs specialty"

Tala growled, then bodily lunged towards Josh. She was curious to see what he could do, and if he could indeed play as rough as she thought he should be able to.

DM and her 'clone' stopped, now very close to Kafka's position, though she didn't know it. As far as she could tell, he'd pretty much disappeared within the tree canopy and she could no longer even see that 'shadow'.

DM's tail swung lazily from side to side as she stood atop a branch indecisively. Maybe she really was just being paranoid? Or maybe whoever or whatever it was had noticed her and moved. The draconic muntant jumped again, landing in the next tree, her 'clone' doing the same.

She ended up in the tree right next to Kafka, only then noticing the gigantic spider attached to it. DM's eyes widened as she began backing away, again the other copying her. She just hoped it'd go for her decoy while she tried to figure out some way of fighting an overlarge arachnid

[GBE]

Surge hadn’t expected Fade to still be moving after the blow he’d delivered her, especially as it normally knocked out men twice his own size when he really needed it to. He hopped forwards as his other leg was raised of the ground. It was now that he wished he could do all of those fancy martial arts moves he’d seen on the televisions whilst he slept or rested outside the electronics stores. He tries to pull his leg back down from Fade’s cold handed clasp, small plumes of smoke escaping the side of his mouth.

Josh just stared in amazement as the women charged him unfazed. He figured he’d probably made the wrong move, considering she could move bigger rocks than he could throw so easily. He knew he shouldn’t charge forwards, and instead found himself leaping as far backwards as he could. Not with any grace, air, dignity, skill or agility, just a backwards lurch, technically designed to move him out of the way quickly, although, he was moving towards the ground quite rapidly, backside first.

Seth just continues to run, but as he turns to check where his assailant was, he accidentally stumbles and falls flat onto his chest, face first mind, over a half buried rock in the ground. He had enough to time to kneel and wipe his face once as he turned to see the creature closing in on him, his eyes wide with fear.

Kafka’s eyes, although they didn’t move, one could imagine that little clump quite literally just moving around to face DM. As if there were no substance to him, he rapidly moves towards DM, his front two legs outstretched, fangs reared for attack, and his back legs having just acted almost like pneumatic pumps, propelling him forwards. However, his angle was slightly off, as he went on a crash course for one of the clones. However, the way he saw it, a target was a target. Although, the wings did worry him. This was a strange looking avian, almost like an avian had bred with a reptilian, something he would never have imagined possible!

[Swix]

"I am not taken down that easily"

Fade commented, noticing Surge's surprised expression. The cold-hearted assasiin waited for Surge to hop once more, then twisted her entire body around in order to twist Surge's leg and send him crashing to the ground. Fade had been vigorously trained for years under her mentor, and that mentor hadn't exactly been soft on her.

Tala sailed straight over Josh as he went on a backwards collision course towards the ground, the werewolf stuck her hands and feet out and towards the ground before she came in to land, skidding slightly on all fours on the grass. Tala spun around, still on all fours, baring her teeth and snarling at Josh in her human form.

Since she was already in the right position, Tala began to change. Silver, brown tinted fur began growing out of her skin and covering her clothing. Her fingers shrank, forming paws as her hands and arms elongated to form the forelegs of a wolf. Her feet and legs grew longer as her toes formed back paws, forming the back legs. Her mouth elongated into a canine muzzle as her ears grew large and pointed, then migrated until they reached the top of her head. A long tail shot out of the base of her spine and quickly grew silver fur, as her eyes became yellow and tinted with brown.

Now completely changed into her wolf form, Tala growls at Josh with ears flat back and tail stock still.

Tina reversed the direction of her beating wings, slowing herself to a stop just before she would have bowled Seth over. The experiment cocked her head to the side, looking at him intently.

"Why did you come to this if you're afraid of your opponents? I thought we were supposed to fight..."

DM jumped as the giant spider propelled itself from it's tree and onto hers, and flying straight through the non-solid copy of DM. The mutant let the image fade away, freeing a lot of her concentration up.

DM opened her wings as wide as she possibly could, wishing she could fly, and powerfully beat them down as she jumped into the tree Kafka had just left.

I can't fight that! DM thought desperately It's way too fast. It'll catch me if I stay still too long

With that now firmly stuck in her head, and realising she'd probably already stayed in the new tree for just that bit too long, DM began to form a solid see through 'bubble' around herself. She did leave a small gap below her so she'd still be able to move. It wouldn't stop her from being knocked, but at least it'd stop it from grabbing her or piercing her with those fangs.

[GBE]

Surge, one minute was hopping, found himself the next on his back looking up into the sky. He tilts his head towards Fade, who still appears to have his leg, with all of his strength, he attempts to yank her forwards towards himself, preparing his second leg to deliver a swift kick if possible to her head, but any body shot would do for now...

Josh had rolled over when he landed roughly in order to avoid being pounced upon, and to see where his enemy now was. He watches quite amazed that he was witnessing such a change. His face drops as something dark flickers across his mind, a memory that he pushes back for the time being. This wolf being was going to tear him apart he thought. The tattoo on his face shines a little brighter, but only numbing half of his face, which is a horrible feeling. He pulls himself up to his knees once Tala had completed her transformation and was growling at him.

Seth watches as Tina hovers in position above him. He wasn’t sure if she was taunting him, or genuinely enquiring about him. Either way, this position her was in wasn’t going to help him win or escape anytime soon. He didn’t know what to do now, he’d been taught never to attack first too, which was making him find it difficult as what to do to defeat this creature above him. “I, I just wanted some training” is his pitiful reply…

Kafka flows through the copy of DM, landing on a tree just beyond it and quickly turns around to face DM yet again. Seeing an odd shimmer around him doesn’t faze him at all as he takes another strangely complicated, yet graceful leap towards the now stationary DM, fangs reared to strike his target as best as he can, a small drip of venom dripping from each fang...

[Swix]

Fade, now on her stomach after her attempt to take the other mutant off balance succeeded, finds herself pulled up towards Surge. She quickly let go of his leg as his kick hit her in the shoulder hard, jarring her arm.

The assassin doesn't cry out in the pain she was feeling, the only indication that it hurt her was a sharp intake of breath as kneeled. Her Sapphire Dagger clutched firmly in the hand that had not been jarred, Fade made to jab Surge in the chest with it.

"What is the matter with you?"

Tala asked through bared teeth, noticing the strange glowing decoration on Josh's face. The werewolf took a few steps forwards as Josh got up to his knees, but she didn't attack.

Tina wing-arms slow their beating, lowering her until her feet touch the ground, very close to Seth.

"Ssso did I"

She says back, her snake tail moving about in the breeze as she considers. Tina moves her wing-arms until they're held in a fighting position, the large flaps of skin making up the rest of her limbs folded up against her arms as much as she could.

"Get up. I'm not going to attack sssomeone who'sss lying down"

DM yells as Kafka's fangs hit the solid bubble she'd formed about herself, knocking her backwards and out of the tree with the force of the hit. The mutant tumbles down through the branches, the bubble protecting her from the worst of it but still knocking her about inside. It sometimes shimmers as she loses some of her concentration on it, but it reforms as she knows that would be fatal, no matter how bruised she was.

The mutant hits the ground, bounces and then comes to rest. DM sits up inside the bubble, very dazed and now hurt. She rubs her head with one of her hands, trying to clear her blurred vision.

[GBE]

Surge's legs had come back down pretty quickly after getting a lucky kick on Fade's shoulder, and it looked like it had been a fairly hard kick also, which was to Surge’s advantage. As he was pushing himself up onto his elbows and just levelling himself upwards, he saw Fade lunging towards him from a kneeling position, with a dagger no less. He rolls over one and a half times to the left in order to avoid the lunge, Surge now finding himself flat on his chest, and begins to push himself back up, one knee beneath him and both of his arms fully extended…

Josh stands up fully, staring into Tala’s eyes, “It’s just, uh, something private” he says rather pathetically, whilst gently touching that side of his face, wincing as he does. Not the best explanation or excuse, but he seems to be hiding something. Noticing that the wolf is still approaching him, he’s got to find some way to distract her, or stop her from advancing on him. Although, he finds he’s a little stuck for ideas at the moment, and he too instead decides to run, except he runs to the side of Tala, hoping to surprise her, even for a few seconds…

Seth just stares at the strange creature, unsure what to make of it. He did however do as he was told and stood up although, if he took up a fighting stance, it didn’t appear to be obvious at all. Seth manages to leave himself completely unguarded as he scratches the back of his head, trying to think how to proceed against the thing stood in front of him…

Kafka managed to support himself in the trees after colliding into DM, stabilizing himself as DM crashed down through the trees. He takes a few seconds to check his fangs, gently rubbing them with one of his forelegs, making sure they hadn’t cracked against what he thought to be an invisible wall. Finding that his fangs were good and healthy still, he positions himself so that now he’s looking down towards DM. Shifting position so that there was a much clearer view of DM, he begins to take on a new transformation.

His colour turns into a brown, similar to that of the tree, as the hairs over his body recede. His legs become shorter, apart from his front four legs, the second pair becoming fairly long. They all adopt a much longer curve inwards, giving them almost a clamp like appearance, and his fangs recede so much so that they become only long enough for an absolutely direct strike. His abdomen becomes extremely thin, and short, the main part of his body now becoming wider and slightly longer. His eyes are now more forward facing, as if for precision accuracy.

He moves down the tree, getting closer and closer to his prey, always watching. Dazed prey being so much more easier to catch. When he’s about twenty metres away from DM, with his front four legs, he begins to rapidly construct a web of some sort. After a few seconds, it takes on a net like appearance, although, it shimmers slightly in the sunlight, as he adds moisture to the construct. When he decides its wide enough, he brings it in close, and then launches it at DM, allowing it to fly freely down through the air towards her. He remains stationary to see the results of his effort…

Behold my harsh Swix-style Cleverness/Inventiveness scores. Ph34r them.

Swix

Believability: 10/10 Don't werewolves usually need a full moon to change? No mention was made of any moon at all by either one of you... Other than that you did fine.

Powerplay: 0/-10 I'm not gonna hit you for the werewolf thing twice... it doesn't qualify for powerplay anyways...

Personality/Flair: 9/10 Ehhh, personalities were up to scratch, but some of Fade's lines seemed a little tired. Are there no new quotes in here?

Cleverness/Inventiveness: 9/20 Unfortunately, no one on your team did anything to help each other, they all acted completely independently. And the brute force that half the team relied on... not incredibly orginal, but I suppose it's more the characters. The DM bubble was a nice touch though, as was Tala's "rough" style... kinky.

Grammar/Spelling: 9/10 There were a few times when you swapped between the past and present tense. No noticeable typos.

Total Score: 37/50

GBE

Believability: 9/10 Everyone that had an attack thrown at them was hit at least once. All characters seemed to be fully within their bounds, although I had no idea what Kafka's second transformation was.

Powerplay: 0/-10 You're all clear...

Personality/Flair: 10/10 All personalities seemed to be filled here: The leader, the clever one, the timid one, and whatever the hell you'd call Kafka. The few lines of dialog added the flair. Surge's griminess didn't hurt you either.

Cleverness/Inventiveness: 12/20 Same teamwork issue as Swix. This is a team match is it not? A camouflaged spider, Josh's "private" whatever that we will never know about, these are the things that got you the points you've got.

Grammar/Spelling: 8/10 Same tense problem as Swix too. A typo here and there.

Total Score: 39/50

Good job GBE, you won... again... Damn I wish someone other than us three would make regular usage of this place. Anyways... here's a cookie.
