I don't know. Probably not my character. If he does anything, it would probably be chef, since he's been cooking for himself for a long time.
<Snipped quote by The Irish Tree>

No. Yes.


World Record Backdown.
Really starting to notice a trend here of people looking way younger than actually are.


@The Irish Tree There's no island old men, that's why.



...sneaking out the bushes with a character...



@The Irish Tree And, EDITED.
Maggie dropped a skeleton; correction, several skeletons, as she dropped a large skeleton onto his skull into a crowd via a Full Nelson that transitioned into a German Suplex from a standing leap that made the entire thing a really confusing, yet sick hype flying Tombstone Piledriver with the impact zone of a Moonsault. Jumping up, she looped her jawbone around the neck of a skeleton, and jump, going prone, and brought them to a crashing halt out of nowhere. It was only when the skeleton army's more than feeble attempts to scratch and claw and actual break her -- both in flesh and morale -- stopped, did she noticed they had stopped, and did she take note of their pause, the cause, and his focus on her. Why? Why was he staring at her? Why was he smiling? Was he acknowledging her strength, her bloom, her brilliance...?

It felt nice.

It felt so nice, it was terrifying. Such grand acknowledgement. Such a powerful acknowledge that radiated around and away. It was so goddamn terrifying. It felt so nice, though. For a moment, she wanted nothing more than to become lost in it; to run away from it, and yet to it, as well. It terrified her -- just as her current form did. He was so strong -- stronger, still, than her. That couldn't stand. That couldn't be. If she wasn't stronger, then she would be like she always was. Alone. Scared. Weak. A pathetic nature that her maddened thought reviled, so strongly, it made her want to vomit. She wanted to be lost in his strength, his madness, his... his..

[Bravery.] supplanted the guiding voice, the beacon in her madness, the very cause and nature of it. [It's his bravery, you seek, my little flower. Same as the bravery, I give; generously.] The voice was different. Less creepy. Less risque. It was level, higher than her own. "I... I do..." Maggie all but asked. It wasn't a question, but acknowledgement, seeking affirmation. [Of course, you do.] Affirmation given, tout de suite. [Go, Margaret. Take his bravery. Kill him.] whispered the voice, coaxing her to its level. [Be braver, by being the only one that remains.] Maggie grinned, and tensed her muscles. Suddenly, her body relaxed, and slumped forward; from behind the curtain formed of her messy bangs, madness peered back at Flamma. "I'm going to take your jawbone, and beat your skull in." she promised, before THROWING herself straight at him.

It was on like Donkey Kong.




Meanwhile, less than willing to gamble on his own life, the Assassin-keeper stepped outside; teleported, as far as most eyes were concerned, but, nevertheless. However, he didn't retreat; tactical repositioning, is all. Besides, he was more interested in the one that was thrown outside than leaving. From his vantage point, he'd watched the scene unfold, and play out. He had accessed most of the Classes in play; roughly judging from their weapons, appearances, and behaviors. Makoto had hung back, and then suddenly a pillar impaled the new threat. That bespoke of one thing: "Caster, judging from the garish attire and that little trick of magecraft," he surmised with a casual callousness, standing behind Makoto, "Makoto, isn't it? Here's a question: what's your best magic trick? Don't dally answering. It might just save a lot of lives."
Enter, a new challenger.


As Hal swung, under the control of guiding hand, a soft, pearl-white slipper tapped, ever so gently, upon the axes, as they crossed each other; adding just the finest hair's breadth of weight, as a ivory-white skirt flapped before him, and crossed before the sights of kings and heroes. "I'll leave this to you, old man," said a distinctly male voice, in the mere seconds of passing, before the flapping skirt gave way to a cloak, and descended. 'I'll ask you, once more, Astolfo.' says the teen, as he descended, 'Serve me.' A haunty snort entered his mind. [I descend to no depths as dark as yours. It would besmirch the name of all I honor.]

Sneering, the teen pivoted in the air, and materialized a grand lance. 'Spare me. I'll relinquish you, when this is through. I have no time for a disobedient Servant.' He received a snort, in kind. [I will relish the moment.]

Ceasing the conversation, the boy landed on the back of the elephant with the skills of a trained rider, as if he'd been born to. "Wounded. Enchanted. All odds against you, and yet, you charge without mercy," he says. "I thought, I could make use of your master’s power, but, I have no use for them, for there is only one arrogance in this world I shall entertain," he raised his lance, "My own."

"Seek it's heart, Argalia." the skirted boy intoned, as he plunged the lance in; deep and true, seeking the heart of the maddened, loosed beast.




[Oh. A new flower has bloomed, such a mighty one, at that.] Maggie growled, as the elephant went crashing to the earth. Her eyes turned to followed, glaring at the skirted boy, as he descended upon the dying mount. No-one was stronger than she was. No-one! He'd told her so! He watered her! He fed her! He strengthened her! Weeded her! Fertilized her! Promised her! He made her stronger! That's why she bloomed so brightly! [How passionate you've become.] Maggie shifted, and took her jawbone off the floor. Her hair seemed to glow with the intensity of a flame, and skin gleamed with the shine of the sun, as she turned her attention from Xerxes towards the newcomer.

Jawbone in tightened hand, she battered the beast in the side, one-handed, and sent it skidding away with a caved-in torso. Gracefully, like a pixie, the boy landed. "My, my, how strong," he says, clapping the backseat of his skirt, before ruffling his pink hair, "I admire that. You don't need anyone here, do you, Margaret?" Maggie faltered for a moment. "If I had to guess, you're the Berserker in this game for seven, right," he asks, spinning his lance, "Let's test how much sanity you've retained, then." Maggie acted on instinct, as she swung up her jawbone, and deflecting the testing poke of a surprisingly fast attack. "Maybe, you aren't all gone, like him. I wouldn't have a used for you, if you were."

[How curious. Entertaining, even.] Maggie snarled, as she threw herself forward; swinging aimlessly, and was countered at every turn. [He's barely trying. Barely can. He's not as strong as I thought. He is fast, though.] Maggie panted, slowing, but launching all she had into a singular strike. "Gah!" she gagged, as her body locked in place, nature rejecting the situation at hand. "You really are useless, aren't you," the boy asks, disdainfully. "Couldn't even piercing divinity?"

Maggie gagged and growled, as she was, humanly, reacting to the spear-tip of the lance being pressed against the hallow of her throat. It didn't break flesh, but, it still hurt, as if it had -- her brain imagining the pain, and recreating it. Driven to her knees, she reeled for a solid moment, as the pain screamed though it. Even without activating the lance's hidden power, it was still formidable in it's legend. However, that was not enough to stop her forever, and she recovered. "You stabbed me," she asks, incredulously, looking up with the ground -- eyes wide and maddened. "I'm going to bury you in my garden, and blossom in your corpse." A broad smile cross the boy's lips, and he stepped back, "Unfortunately, that's not on the menu," he crossed both hands over his chest, and lost his white skirt and cloak for a black skirt and hooded cloak with the addition tightly wound system of fishnet and leather armor pieces.

Flicking his hand forward, he tossed a small card at Maggie's face, and three gumball-sized spheres. Distracted by the card, Maggie didn't noticed the sphere, until the crashed into her, and burst into a sizeable plume of smoke. Looking around, she didn't see the boy anywhere.




~Click-clack. ~

Behind Rebecca, the sound was sharp and noticeable. "Rebecca, no," asks the skirted boy, standing right beside her, yet he felt nonexistent, "A bit of silence, hm? I don't think she's happy with me." Chuckling, the boy watched the discard Class Card coast around the around; as if, being carried on winds of fate, before disappearing behind the bleachers. 'You were useful, I suppose, Astolfo. Pity, you didn't stay so. Isn't that right, Hattori-san?'

[Hai, McQueen-dono.]
[Time to bloom, little flower. Become watered by such a beast's virility.] Maggie's grip on the jawbone strengthened, as she took the bone in to both hand, and flipped it upright; teeth bared. Silently, she took a golf swing at the elephant; burying the ancient molars into the elephant -- but, not the leg proper. No, her cruelty was of a significant depth. [Such a beautiful bloom.] Maggie wrenched the jawbone towards her, and drug the bones through the pad of the elephant's foot like a sawblade. Blood coated the bones, flesh between the teeth, and she raised it to her lips. "Thank you, for the drink," she says, licking the blood slowly.

Maggie didn't even care that Rebecca was being showered by the blood. In fact, she didn't even seem to notice Rebecca in general; her face was marred by displeasure. "Thirsty..." she says, listlessly. "I'm still thirsty." A sinisterly bemused chuckle rose in her mind, [Sup more, my little flower.] Maggie hefted her jawbone weapon higher, and brought it crushing down on the reeling elephant's jaw. A sickening crack filled the air, and she dropped her built-in weapon. "I'M A THIRSTY FLOWER!" Maggie snapped, and grabbed the elephant's cracked lower jaw; digging her hand into the damaged flesh, working fingers through muscle, with mindless determination to take it off.

To be watered.

[Bloom brighter, my thirsty, little dandelion. Open for me, and we may spread madness like a weed amongst your garden.]
Attention; it was something that Maggie gave a great deal to the world around her, as she sought to avoid much of it. For her, the game at hand didn't exist; it was an exhibition of people -- some to fear, some to trust, most to avoid. Her eyes flittered from place to place; space to space; person to person, like two blades of grass in a heavy wind, as she attempted to map out the motion, in order to escape as quickly as she could, should the need arise. It was her greatest hope that it wouldn't arise, but, she never fancied herself that lucky. A smart person knew her escape route.

[And, you're ever the smart, little girl, aren't you?] asked a lecherous voice, slipping into her thoughts; invading her mind with its maddeningly pervasive tone and whim. "Don't talk to me," Maggie muttered, bringing her knees to her chest, hiding her face. [Don't talk to me.] mocked the voice, arrogant in tone and bemused, as well. [I haven't a single soul else to. Surely, you'll indulge an old man the fruits of his labor.] Maggie groaned, trying to seem smaller -- less noticeable. It wouldn't work on him. It hadn't in the span of a week; surely, it wouldn't start now. [Come, now, child. A little flower such as yourself should be vibrant. Not hidden away like a wilting bloom. You're only just beginning to bud.]

Maggie opened an eye, still behind her arms, crossed before her, "Why? Why do you talk to me like this? I know what you mean! Don't... I don't... I don't like it..." A faint chuckle sounded. "Why does my misery amuse you? Why do you haunt me? I'm nothing, nobody. I'm --" [--all you need to survive.] interrupted the voice. [I'm strong. You're not. Embrace that, little flower. Embrace me. We're destined for each other. I didn't simply appear, because I wanted to.] Maggie opened her mouth to speak, but, suddenly the walls ratted, and the bleachers shook with the tremendous force coming in. If she screamed, the bellow of the elephant crashing down the western wall, and the demands of an ancient -- and dead -- king drowned out her misery.

Against her breast, the card in demand warmed in maddening desire to be "played from her hand," so to speak. [Let's show him what you can do, little flower. A kindred spirit is ours, he and I. I can sense it. I know you can. Aren't you drawn to it? Don't lie, little flower. It might kill you.] taunted the voice. "Y-Yes," Maggie stammered, as she clenched her fists before her knees. "I c-can f-f-feel it... Bu-But, I c-can't!" she cries, legs tensed, ready to spring up and run away. [Oh, you can, little flower. Just open your eyes. Let me help you... water your garden...]

Maggie drew a shaking breath, and her right hand shook, as it drew to the card. "Pl-Please... I don't... I don't wanna... I feel..." she let the world fall silent, with her right hand; the only sound was the heavy, dull THUD of a pearl-white, immense jawbone. "...I feel... that no-one demands anything of me." Maggie snarled, as she drew to her feet. "I serve no-one, but myself," she says, brushing back her hair, "Besides, subservience to you is impossible... if you're dead."

[Bloom, my little flower.]
