She's still charging, and it takes time for her fall as well. As for how long it took to charge up the attack, hardly any time. Her initial attack was really weak, and this is only twice that power. It still won't damage her a lot, blast her away and give her a small burn/scrapes at best. She's not even close to using lethal amounts of power yet, not even with Evvie's vulnerability to magic.


She should be able to fall at 9.8 meters per second, which depends on point of view if that's fast or not. If what I'm assuming you might have meant by that statement, here's an explanation. Charging forward would not effect the rate of dropping due to gravity unless her muscles were still pushing against the ground. Once she decided to fall she wasn't using her muscles to charge forward any more at that point, only falling forward from momentum so was like a rag doll at that point. For a fun fact on that subject, bullets still fall to earth at the same speed of everything else despite going super fast forward at the same time, so Evvie's forward momentum is irrelevant for that dodge .

That attack is slightly weaker than I thought, so it could more likely have fired in time.

Hmm....but I just realized a problem. With a counter post for this scenario, all you could do was say that the attack fired fast enough to do a hit, which wouldn't be much of a post unless you were fine with that. I could probably just edit my post then.
She needs no mobility to fall, which is what she did to dodge; fall below where the attack was fired. The punch would make her be able to tip forward even quicker. I figure that she could fall before a magical attack of that power could charge up and fire.

Edit: Although I didn't ask how fast she could charge, so my assumption of how long I think it would take could cost me and would be mostly my fault. Well, with my battle system you can interrupt that part of my post, which would be a counter, if you think she could outspeed her fall.

Ryomi Fiett Leitannia vs. Bloodshot (Match 1)
********************

She didn't care that he was taunting her. In fact it was a good sign. A cocky opponent is quite often a dead one. Plus he did nothing to stop her from completing the energy coating on her blade. Just as he was talking about no initiative she moved in close to him at speeds reaching 40 miles an hour, swinging her weapon horizontally from right to left at neck level as she got within range, her power likely enough to cleave straight through his armor and his neck like butter. If her plan would work then that would shut him up real quick. Her sister might not like the fatality, but she'd get over it. This man, if what he said earlier was to be believed, was a menace to society equally or more so to almost any evil spirit she had encountered.

Cellinli Lienfeld vs. Niks (Match 1)
********************

The appearance of a sudden fog freaked her out, as it was, at least in her mind, almost certainly the result of ghosts or the supernatural of evil inclination. In this circumstance her assumption was actually true and this really was a ghost town to be feared. If she wasn't very careful she'd end up a ghost as well. Being careful in a fog was proving difficult, however. If she reached any sort of high speed she nearly crashed into an unseen obstacle every time, only barely leaving herself enough time to react and swerve out of the way. Sometimes it was fallen tree branches, sometimes rubble, somehow all appearing as if out of thin air specifically to block her escape. As luck would have it, or bad luck in her case, she ended up somehow reversing course, which she only realized when she spotted the same flaming eyes as before.

She skidded to a halt on her blades, then detached them from her boots and wielded them in her hands. She was getting nowhere fast with all this running around. Rather than tire herself out, she'd put her strength to good use by taking out whoever's responsible for this. For all she knew it was this fowl being, and even if he wasn't it would still help to take him out so he wouldn't be a threat later on, or to possibly get information out of him if he does happen to know who could be creating this fog. For now she'd ask a question, just in the off chance he'd be willing to answer, and then she'd attack if it wasn't satisfactory.

"Do you know who's creating this fog?"

********************
Evvie vs. Aurelia (Match 1)
********************

Evvie's eyes traced her opponent as she leapt to her right. This girl was fast; much faster than expected to completely get out of attack range when she was nearly on top of her. Despite that surprise attack this battle was beginning to get a bit fun again. In a game of cat and mouse Evvie was clearly the cat, so it was up to her to try and catch her. If that happened Evvie was confident she could win decisively. But of course the catching is the tricky part judging by the speed of that dodge just now.

Despite not being the sharpest crayon in the box she does recognize a charging magical spell when she sees one, being in a lot of fights over the years, so it was in her best interest to get dodging as soon as possible. She allowed herself to drop to the ground in the empty space where her opponent had been standing and where she was planning on punching, so it wasn't hard to let her already swinging momentum swing her on downward. It was still a close call as the energy whizzed past the nape of her neck, messing up her hair beyond what any bad hair day could result in, although that was the least of her worries. This split second dodge caused her no backup plan on how to deal with the aftermath, so she was on a collision path with the earth and landed ungracefully on her stomach with a thud. She turned her head and breathed out a small torrent of fire as an attempt to perhaps ward off any attempt to take advantage of her vulnerable position until she could get back onto her feet.
(Nevermind. There's a lack of interest so I moved on to other things)

Well, normally, I would agree with: "And the rest of my allies are chopped liver." But you ran ahead, and you're the fastest in the group. So you would close the gap between them and us faster than we could close the gap between you and us.Also. I'm going down for a number of job applications at various places today. So I won't be able to post until this evening. When I get back I'll post immediately.


I edited my post to fix that problem, so now she'll pause for the others to make their head start to ensure that her speed won't put her too far ahead (and to make sure they do the logical thing and start fighting)
And the rest of my allies are chopped liver during all of that?

The problem with this situation is whoever attacks first is assuming the rest of the team is also going to be fighting, which would take away the attention of everyone on my character at once and disperse it amongst the entire group. That is unless they do end up doing nothing, then I'm screwed (and of course would leave the roleplay). But in this case I'll just have her do nothing and wait for everyone to post their attacks, a simple way around this issue.
If they all decide to attack her that could be a problem, but I don't see why that would happen. She did cautiously look at them before starting her attack run.
Layte held back with the rest of the group, eyeing the vile enemies cautiously. She was glad she didn't recklessly charge ahead and have to face all of them by herself. It looked like she could outmaneuver them, at least, but attacking right now would be a bit tricky. She was about to ask about a plan when all of a sudden a newcomer arrived and began the battle himself, leaping towards one of the foes. A completely unexpected turn of events, but perhaps she could use it to her advantage.

EDIT: Although not if her allies wouldn't also spring into action. She stayed put, watching to see what they would do to provide any good openings.
I'll work on my post now. I just got back from a gambling trip with relatives. Of course I lost again, but I already know that going in so it's no big deal. It was kind of annoying, though, on the poker machine when it kept giving me 4 of one suit and then ending up not giving me that flush. It's only 1 out of 4 odds even if you're one away like that, but it loved to keep messing with me repeatedly. I did end up with one flush, but it doesn't pay off that good considering all the losses getting to it.

That's the idea. You don't really teleport btw, it's just that the wall opens up :P


So it's a fancy doorknob.
