The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Thaum: Coliseum

"HEY!"

Aria whipped around to see a wolf lunge at her from behind. Before she could attempt to block the incoming blow the beast was knocked away by a heavy blow from Moira.

"Think we need to thin 'em out a bit before you get any grand ideas, love!"

She glanced at Lute and in the split second their eyes a sort of understanding was reached between the two and they split, but not before she took the chance to send a wink the virtuoso’s way before he flew off to the rescue of the two cornered men, ears tinted pink. Looks like the theatrics would hve to wait- for now, it was time for business.

With a short huff of laughter she turned in time to see Moira snag a wolf from the air and throw it across the cage. She paused momentarily, gaping at this feat of strength before darting forwards when a large grizzled wolf tackled the woman against the walls of the cage with a deafening rattle.

A sharp pain piercing his backside caused the wolf to snarl and snap around, sharp teeth glinting in the bright lights of the coliseum and momentarily ignoring the woman in front of him to focus instead on the steel knife embedded into his flesh. The beast let out another screech as a flash of metal pierced his foreleg before he could react, wobbling back as Aria landed next to Moira.

“You alright?” She gave the Berserker a quick scan, noting the lack of gaping wounds with a relieved nod before turning back at where the now injured wolf had now been joined with his friend that Moira had sent flying earlier, both snarling viciously with eyes glinting. “We can’t have you missing your date with mister muscle man because of a few mutts now, can we?” Aria drew another knife from her belt, noting with displeasure that there were only four left including the one in her hand.

From the corner of her eye she could see that Lute had managed to take down the wolf threatening poor Syed and Lucy. So the guys had managed to beat Moira and her to successfully taking down a wolf? Now that just wasn’t right.

“Do you want the big one or the smaller one?” She asked with a grin, readying to strike another time. “I think it’s about time we ended this, don’t you think?”

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Awesome posts, guys :DD

I might post something up in between my studying (gods i hate exams why ugh ugh), but for now I just wanna say for everyone to be mindful of how your attacks and energy depleted matches up. For instance Lesley's two gloriously rainbow attacks had depleted it down to about a quarter, while Haku somehow managed to make two ice pillars and a whole bunch of enormous icicles fall from the sky only using barely half the energy.

Personally I think Anon's amount is more accurate, but we'll see what Michi says when she gets on ^ u ^

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Thaum: Coliseum

Aria watched with interest as Lulu greeted the woman who had come out of the crowd. Was she a friend of his? She certainly was pretty. Aria eyed the woman’s chest almost enviously as the rules were explained.

Before Lute could introduce the two ladies, their team (The Blobfish Avengers? Nobody else had anything so that was most likely their name now. Lovely.) was escorted to the door where weapons and armors hung on racks for the challengers to pick from. The muscled man gave them another few rules before departing, leaving the team to their own devices.

No magic was allowed, huh? She picked up a bundle of throwing knives, checking their balance before strapping them around her waist in the belt they came with. That would certainly make things much more challenging, especially for Syed and Lucien. She glanced at them in worry and noted to keep an eye on the two men while strapping on the lightest and least restricting armor she could find in the pile. Usually she would have forgone the extra bulk with her knives hidden underneath her clothing being adequate defenses, but in this case it would be better to play it safe with some extra covering.

“You know, we could always quit and just eat lunch. I can cook your favorite dish,”

Aria turned to see Lute struggling with his armor and huffed in soft laughter. She placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, turning him around and adjusting the straps on the back so the padded leather sat more snugly on his form.

“As lovely as that sounds, I think it’s a bit late to back out now.” She gave him a pat, before following the virtuoso through the doors and into the cage in the arena. From what she could see most of the teams were much burlier and tougher looking than theirs, but she was rather determined to put on a good show for the spectators in the stands.

She shifted on the balls of her feet as the pack of wolves were released from their cages, glancing up at Lute when he spoke again.

“Aria, I think lunch is out. Maybe dinner. With my sister? Hopefully we don’t get eaten first,”

“Dinner sounds wonderful,” she laughed in response, drawing the longest knife from her belt and getting ready to follow Moira in attacking. “What do you say we tag team that mean looking guy?” She motioned to one of the larger snarling wolves. “Just like old times.” With a quick confirmation from Lute she turned back to Lucien. "Be careful, Lucy! Don't try anything I wouldn't, now." With a wink she leaped forward, joining the fray.

Aww that sucks, Lulu :C Hang in there for another week /o/

Ah, heat. If only we had some of that here, it's still so cold laughs

Pach, I'm super excited now but also mildly terrified of what you have planned . Which, funnily enough is also what I feel when Michi has an idea OTL

I'll be writing up a post now!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Thaum: Coliseum

Aria had been to Thaum a few times before for missions, but this was her first time at the Coliseum and it certainly was something to behold.

Groups of people ran past decked in heavy armor while others did stretches beside the large stone columns in preparation for their upcoming brawls. The illusionist stared in amazement as a heavily muscled man picked up a sword that stood taller than she was with ease and took a few practice swings, gigantic blade cleaving through the air. Now that she looked more closely at the crowds around her, she noticed that a lot of the competitors favored ridiculously oversized weapons.

Moira seemed to be having the time of her life, signing their group up without a pause while Syed just looked resigned to his fate. Aria gave the man a light pat on the back, smiling reassuringly.

“I’m sure it won’t be that bad, it might even be fun!”

She turned to survey their little group. Amy and Selan didn’t look the types to enjoy duking it out in an arena and Lucien she wasn’t sure about. Lulu…

“Lulu, you should go!” She piped up, sidling up beside him and nudging the man with her elbow, waggling her eyebrows playfully. “It would be the perfect chance to show off your coolness, right? I’d join with you, but if I got hit by one of those giant hammers I think I’ll die.”

Wait, wasn’t this the perfect chance to rack up more battle experience? She paused in thought. There had never been many missions where she’s had to fight the heavy melee type and this would be an awesome opportunity, not to mention she would get to fight alongside her friends this time round.

“Actually, no. I’ve changed my mind. Sign me up!” She gave a thumbs up to Moira. “I’ve never been good with names… Anyone have any ideas for a super cool team name?”
