Fight Club 10/30/2017

As always I attended Limsan Fight Club tonight and despite a smaller turnout than usual due to the seasonal events going on, it was still a blast! @tarot-dancer showed up but IRL fell asleep on the floor next to me playing with her new kitten, the poor dear is sick (Neyuki, not the kitten) and just wanted to nap for a bit. Thus Neyuki was there ICly but didn't really get to do much, but as always her mere presence is enough to keep Subetei quite happy!

Subetei's first match against Nachin Qestir was a rousing battle of sword and armor vs axe and brass bells, with Nachin stealing the initiative by slamming Subetei's arm with a blunted scimitar. Earlier in the evening the proctor, Guillont Lusignan, had commented that the surest way to defeat an axe was to keep in close and press the advantage so the head couldn't be brought to bear, but Subetei proved it wrong by taking the fight using his style of gripping his axes just below the head and swinging with them when in close range. He parried Nachin's blows by locking the scimitar with the axe's curved head, twsiting them wide, or using the axe's shaft to keep his opponent trapped.

For the finale blow Subetei blocked a damning, powerful scimitar blow with his metal elbow guard and using the brief moment where Nachin couldn't block him, he grabbed the man's now recoiling arm and hurled him onto the ground with a sledgehammer throw that had the Qestir's armor ringing out for the arena to hear!

The two parted with shared respect and eagerness for another bout, with Subetei getting a chance to use his somewhat misshapen hand signs, learned from Neyuki. Shoutout to @falconsgaze for an enjoyable and well written fight that got me a chance to play up Subetei's style of axe fighting to great effect.

Bout #2 went to the night's proctor, Guillont Lusignan, tagged at his only available blog @wsurahbeln. Spurred on by @theduplicitousdame’s (won’t let me tag gosh darn it!) Nahare Mergrey spectating the two took to fists on the cobble and Subetei put on his coat for this one, because he likes to look good when losing teeth!

The fight started off with a solid opening uppercut into Guillont's gut from Subetei and him sweeping out of the way of a retaliating knee-headbutt combination, then fumbling his next move which was to be holding Guillont into a knee-bash to the side. Retaliating, Guillont threw a snapped jaw-punch at Subetei who swayed back out of the way and stepped back in with a heavy haymaker to Guillont's face, which the elezen took and swayed back only to himself lunge into Subetei with an uppercut directly to Subetei's chin, sending both men fumbling back from the exchange.

With his blood spilled, Subetei went into the fray with his battle-trance edging out his higher functions and Guillont himself met that ferocity; Subetei attempted to throw the man and ground him, only for Guillont to narrowly avoid any damage and use the throw to counter-throw Subetei full onto his back. The finale blow came as Subetei yanked Guillont underneath him on the ground, slamming his elbow into his face to nearly cause the man to black out; Syranelle Ironleaf was on hand, as the usual mender Krick Etune had left for the evening already, to quickly bring both men back to health when the bout was over.

Of course being battle-hardened dolts, the both of them, Subetei and Guillont parted with laughter and a shared desire to cross actual blades next time, without the restriction of the Fight Club's rules to hamper them from going all out. Nahare herself expressed a desire to fight either of the men and Subetei continued his tradition of shoving a bottle of his personal medicinal mead into someone's hands every so often, giving Nahare his spare bottle as he left for the evening with Neyuki!

I had a ton of fun tonight and cannot wait for next week to hopefully get to swing a few more punches with Subetei!

ISHGARDIAN PIZZA

(Alt. Title: That Time Eao Broke Beile)

Elphanse Silmontaix points a single finger towards Beile.  "I believe it was some heretical mess covered in pineapple. Is it possible to add onto the order?“

Beile Kagon: “Of course. What would you like added on?”

Elphanse Silmontaix wrinkles her nose. “Non, not added on. Side order.  A single small sized pie. Do you follow so far?”

Beile Kagon: “Yes.”

Beile Kagon just slow blinked at her.

Elphanse Silmontaix: “No extra toppings.”

Elphanse Silmontaix waits.

Beile Kagon: “…so just cheese or plain bread?”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “No cheese.”

Beile Kagon: “..you want nothing on it.”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Tomatoes.”

Beile Kagon just stares blankly. “…so bread with tomatoes on it.”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “No bread.”

Beile Kagon: “..you just want a tomato?”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “I desire a tomato pizza.”

Beile Kagon: “with no bread.”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Sans the bread, Master Othardian.”

Beile Kagon vaguely wonders if something is getting lost in translation here. He doesn’t get it.

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Extra tomatoes on it, yes?”

Beile Kagon: “…okay.”

Beile Kagon writes this down. He looks..perplexed.

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Do not cut the tomatoes, sir.”

Beile Kagon: “…Chidori help.”

Chidori Farcloud: “Help?”

Beile Kagon: “I don’t understand what this woman wants.”

Beile Kagon: “…she wants stacked..tomatoes?”

Krick Etune: “Evening, Lady Silmontaix.”

Chidori Farcloud: “Umm..”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Bonsoir, Master Krick.”

Chidori Farcloud: “Sorry, could repeat one more time.”

Beile Kagon shoves the pad of paper over to her. he just..he can’t even.

Beile Kagon buries his face in disbelief.

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Tis not hard.  Merely a small pizza.  No toppings. No cheese. No bread.  Tomatoes.”

Sela Wyssrael: “uuuh, you okay Beile?”

Beile Kagon: “No.”

Beile Kagon presses his forehead to the oven.

Sela Wyssrael checks the pizzas.

Chidori Farcloud: “So just want piles of tomatoes? Whole or sliced?”

Beile Kagon is not okay.

Sela Wyssrael: “Is it your horns again?”

Beile Kagon: “it’s a fucking pile of tomatoes.”

Beile Kagon buries his face in disbelief.

Elphanse Silmontaix nods.  "Whole.“

Sela Wyssrael: “Then give her a fucking pile of tomatoes.” she shrugs as she pulls another pizza from the fire to step around him and put on the warmer.

Beile Kagon: “just..make..sure the white elezen..woman gets her brother’s order…and when the lizard table is up..i’ll be over there. I need an adult.”

Beile Kagon is not okay.

Elphanse Silmontaix smiles. It looks like the smile someone gives after watching another drink poisoned wine.

Krick Etune expresses his worry with Beile Kagon.

Chidori Farcloud: “Very well..” she shifts. “Umm sorry if rude. But..” she motions to Elphanse Silmontaix. “What is name?”

Elphanse Silmontaix: “Elphanse Silmontaix, Baroness Regent of House Silmontaix.”

Chidori Farcloud: “Order will be up shortly!”

Beile Kagon presses his forehead against the pillar.

Sela Wyssrael: “Beile, I think this is your order…Behemoth, Pineapple and a spicy meat.”

Beile Kagon: “ m'not ready to take it yet. the dingus with the tomatoes was too much.”

Chidori Farcloud: “Sela can Chi have plate of tomatoes whole.”

Beile Kagon whines softly.

Sela Wyssrael: “How did you ever survive all that bartending?” She shakes her head and roots around in the hopper for a few ripe tomatoes.

Sela Wyssrael just shakes her head at Chi and hands her a plate of tomatoes.

Beile Kagon sets down the pizzas with a grumble. “fuckin’…order of tomatoes…”

Beile Kagon: "Just. Tomatoes .”

Sela Wyssrael sighs…

Beile Kagon: “Not even cut.”

Favorite Screenshots of Heavensward

Everybody seems to be doing this, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon.

These will be in a general order they were taken in.

Tension is my favorite weather pattern. Every time I’m in the Shroud during tension I stop what I’m doing to take screencaps. This was taken right as it was ending.

During a combat roleplay with her old fc. The miqo’te sitting next to her is Winter Harrison, magitek engineer who Chouwa’s bonded with. At this point the fc was joking around about shipping these two, a joke that became very real and very wonderful.

Showing off wink with Chouwa’s old ninja glamour. The top was chosen to represent Chouwa’s old gang tattoo, which she attempted to flay off her skin. The decision to do so while drunk has had a lasting impact on Chouwa’s story. She no longer drinks, and her right arm has permanent nerve damage.

Sunset in Churning Mists while map farming with friends.

Looking for answers to her aether and growing closer. Chouwa and Winter had become an item at this point.

Was getting married an impulsive decision? Absolutely. Are there any regrets? Absolutely none.

Watching over the Pearl Lane.

Got her hair cut. As you may notice, the Archaeoskin Jackcoat of Crafting is Chouwa’s favorite jacket.

The Heavensturn event at Keeper’s Kiss. A performance here resonated with Chouwa, and still does. Also she got to sit next to Krick Etune.

One of the first screencaps taken after Chouwa was almost killed. Her right arm was injured again and she lost most of her memories. Unable to bear the thought of fighting anymore, Chouwa finally set down her weapons. It was here that Chouwa was reminded of dancing, something she enjoyed in the past.

After months of hard work, Chouwa got to dance at the Wanderer’s Elysium. She’d later go on to join Palazzo Aldenard’s ranks as a performer.

Having fun at Club Crescent. This would be the last event Chouwa would attend before her current missing status.

Looking forward to Stormblood.

Sylvia Channing

24 / F / Highlander

Birthplace: Ul’Dah Alignment: Neutral Good Link: @sylsmammets

~Summary~

Master crafter extraordinaire... in training. Healer... in training. Nurse ... in training... Therapist, more often than she would like. She’s simple, brilliant, straightforward, she’s got a temper, and isn’t afraid to show it, she’s afraid of nothing, and will stop at nothing to perfect her arts. She applies the same singlemindedness to everything she does, sometimes to the exclusion of her own health, often forgetting to eat or sleep. In her formative year as an armorer, she failed to heed the warnings of her forgemaster, and as a result, she caught an ember in her left eye, permanently destroying the organ. Only recently has she replaced it with a magitek eye that has allowed her to regain her binocular vision. She has very little combat ability, and hates to fight with even what strength she does have, but she isn’t afraid of being in the front lines for medical purposes. She has a first rate procedural memory, allowing her to see a task performed only once or twice, and being able to replicate the procedure with near-perfect accuracy.

~RP Hooks~

✦ - Sylvia frequents the Lominsan Fight Club every monday, and serves as a healer there alongside Krick Etune. Perhaps you’ve seen her and have a medical emergency and need someone reliable enough to treat wounds at a fight club? ✦ - She’s best known for her crafting, as a master artisan perhaps you’ve seen some of her work on the market, you need something specific, something custom.  ✦ - Syl is often quiet, and loathe to approach people. But she is friendly, if you approach her, even to ask directions, she will go out of her way to help. ✦ - The most certain method of getting Syl to willingly work with you is to bring her a unique problem. For instance, an old half destroyed sword forged using extinct methods for repair, alter existing items to include aether-bearing equipment. It can turn into quite the fun long-term RP.

~"Accidental” details~

If you’re looking for a way to break the ice with Sylvia, and you want to be discreet, or make her make the approach... the single best way is to taunt her with sweets. Pastries, pies, syrups, cakes, creams, pudding... if it’s sweet, you’ll get her attention. While I normally hate metagaming, this is the sort of thing that you don’t have to “know” it can just be a ... happy coincidence.

“I have had some people who question my role as a Summoner, but I pay no heed to naysayers. . .I was originally a Thaumaturge, like my father, but I could not get the hang of the methods and it lacked intensive study, which I was hoping for in taking up a Disciple of Magic role.  When I pursued becoming a Arcanist, I felt more in my element and was able to surpass and become a Summoner.”

Songbird Showdown Part 3! And the Winner is...!?!?

“Kip Skyskip and Kikilu Kilu!?

First place!? What!? Really!? Neither me nor Kiki even knew how to handle it! In fact I may have gotten a little...lost in my joy for a moment there.”

“In all the excitement and clapping and what have you, Kiki and I embraced. But I was so stupid happy about everything that I got a little careless and spun her around in the hug a few times in circles. She must have been really happy too, because her giggle in response to me doing that was enough to seal the deal for me. For a few seconds there it was only us. And I think I realized there and then that these feelings that were bubbling up inside of me over the last few weeks needed to be confronted and dealt with. But for tonight, I was content to bask in our success together.”

“Both of us got swarmed by the audience in no time, everyone wanting to congratulating us for our victory. I’ll admit, I may have teared up a little from all of the nice things people were saying to me. I’ve never gotten so many compliments in such a short amount of time before! If this is the kind of love the idols feel every time they take the stage then maybe I should reconsider my line of work!”

“The company all took a picture together too! I’ve only been with this little family for a short time now, but I wouldn’t trade anything for their love and support.”

“After all was said and done, Waltz took a bunch of us out for ice cream, including one of the competitors named Hazel Sky, who was nice enough to donate their 2nd place prize so both Kiki and I would get our own individual prizes! I swear, there’s so many good people in this world. Nights like this are a reminder of why life is worth living. Thank you to everyone who made tonight so magical!”

Friday Night Out

Part One: The Happy Raven Cafe

“For some time now, I had been meaning to make my way in to The Happy Raven cafe, and after hearing about their upcoming singing contest, decided to enter. Both as a way of getting our name out there (I may be soloing, but I’m still “Kiki of 3B), and simply for the fun of it. Okay... so mostly for the fun of it. The fact that it may serve 3B did come as an after thought (it’s a good time I’m not an agent or something).”

“Whilst I fumbled about at the door as my nerves began kicking in, I heard someone humming in the seating area behind me. And, perhaps slightly as a way of stalling, I went to go and see who it was.

It turned out to be Kip (which didn’t help my nerves any)!”

“After a little catch-up, it turned out that Kip was thinking of entering the competition also, but he was having some second thoughts about it due to his own nerves.”

“Now I really was in trouble... I couldn’t back out in front of him. I did the only thing I could do, and confessed to my own interest in the competition, as well as trying to make him feel more confident about doing it himself.

I always thought performers were fearless (and I’m sure some are), but every one I’ve met deals with their own set of nerves - just like the rest of us. And each time I’m reminded of this, I don’t feel quite as inadequate. So I thought that maybe relaying some of what I’ve experienced so far would help ease Kip’s nerves a little.”

“As it happened, we both decided to enter, so we signed-up together... and I do mean together. Due to a little confusion, we ended-up signed as duo.”

“Feeling more nervous now than before, I sat with Kip and we tried to talk a little about what we should do regarding the competition.

We’re going ahead with it, but I’m not sure how the butterflies in my chest and stomach are going to handle this.”

“Not long after we sat down though, Pojo entered the cafe. We all decided to sit together, which helped me relax a little. And we ordered some yummy drinks to try too. If I remember rightly, I think Pojo ordered the Beach Blossom, while Kip and I both went for the Rolanberry Blush.”

“After introducing Kip and Pojo to eachother, we then explained the whole mix-up with the singing competition to him.”

“Shortly after, Krick came in too, and of course, I just had to call him over. He had already met Pojo at one of Club Crescent’s events, and he quickly introduced himself to Kip.

It was lovely meeting Krick in a more relaxed environment that where we usually see eachother, Er, not that I’m complaining about those events! I’m just saying it was a nice change of scenery.”

“Time seemed to slip away from me as we all conversed, so as soon as I noticed the hour, I had to make mention of an event I had agreed to attend in order to cheer on a friend in their first night working there. The others seemed keen to come along, so we decided to head there together.

Though after informing them of the location, Krick made mention that he had visited there once before (though a while back), and explained to us that it was... well, it’s difficult to describe.

In any case, we all parted ways briefly to change our clothes, and met back up at the venue later on.”
