Oh I knew that much, it's just 4 am and I have had zero sleep. I'm trying to get a better image of the scene. I'll have a post up in like, either a half hour of a full hour. Depends on how the campaign we're running lasts.


Righty-oh, I was a little confused as to how I was having this conversation with an American when it's 9 a.m in the morning here.

Then again, it's usually me awake at stupid hours at night to maintain flowing conversation with you guys, so it's all fair.
By the way, don't worry much about having Kanitah affected by the energy drain, by my reckoning our characters probably haven't been in contact for longer than like three seconds, so the drain is negligible at the moment.
@MelonHeadSo my head is pressed against your chin? Or neck? And my arms are just sort of underneath your chest? Sort of lying there uselessly?


I guess so, I can't really say what Kanitah is going to do when Fury lets his weight fall on him because you haven't done it yet. If you left your forearms out they'd be moderately sandwiched between Kanitah and Fury's bodies, but I doubt you'd do that, you'll probably try and get your own grip around Fury's neck or something, that's what people tend to do in grappling.

Like I said, I can't really say what the end product will look like, because you have to contribute to it.
I've changed it somewhat, and they would be relatively close, considering what Fury's trying to do his head would be to the left hand side of Kanitah's as he applies pressure and tries to get around his head, impeded somewhat by your character's forearms (though not massively, holding ones forearms out seem like they would be useful for blocking punches, but not much good for grappling.)
Not exactly, he's letting his weight fall forward briefly to hook Kanitah's legs, it's easier to hook someone's legs from the inside when you're already tight to their sides, to hook your legs out from below they'd have to make their legs bend inwards past the natural width of their waist if you get what I mean.

It does require him to relinquish some of the grip he had around Kanitah's body with his knees though, but in theory the grip is maintained by the hook legs instead. (I think maintaining contact is important in grappling with two super humans, because they have to contest eachother with strength rather than using body weight which most fighters would use, being down on ones back isn't really that much of a disadvantage to an opponent that can easily throw Fury's weight around like it's a bag of flour)

It's kind of a complicated situation. Actually, I'm going to have Fury attempt a choke rather than trying to control the arm, I think it suits his character better, give me a moment to edit.
The Clockwork Man made his way down the corridor, his body jerking oddly as if stiff at random infrequent intervals. If one looked closely past the fine Victorian London attire, including the jaunty cap on his head, then they might note that his metallic body was a brown bronze. That and the strange protruding telescopic eye suggested that the Clockwork Man was still in his original form, having not yet discovered Elmorium. His presence at the Lobby however showed that he had at least won victory at the Nexus of Worlds, hence now owning a Dreamer artefact that allowed him a certain degree of interdimensional and interspatial travel.

The Clockwork Man wasn’t really looking for anything in particular, he had long been sent to wandering in a quest to obtain the only thing he longed for after finally defeating his brother and ensuring the safety of his family. His path had often brought him into conflict, but quite honestly he was a scientist and inventor foremost, so curiosity often got the best of him.

He wandered the facility for some time, exploring every nook and cranny, and obtaining odd glances from other visitors when they saw him tapping the glass or staring off into the distant sky, muttering to himself about equations and gravitational negations. However, he finally took his experiment too far when standing in the cafeteria he gave the window an odd look, twisted his head in that strange way of his, and calmly drew his pistol and fired. The shocking bang of the Clockwork Pistol discharging had people all around him jumping to their feet, weapons drawn, but the window was unscathed. More importantly, the round hadn’t ricochet and shot some poor unfortunate in the ass, so where had it gone?

Surrounded by an angry mob howling for his blood, of which he had none, the Clockwork Man resumed tapping the window of the cafeteria.
Fury obtained the full mount with relative ease and prepared for his opponent, who would grow ever more frantic to escape as time passed and his energy made the Fireen stronger, to attempt to bump him and throw him off. He felt Kanitah trying to obtain some advantage with his legs so he quickly dropped his weight forward and attempted to seize control of Kanitah's head from around the back of his neck with his right arm. While doing this, Fury also fought with Kanitah’s legs, attempting to hook them back and out rather than allowing them to get inside and do the same to Fury, which Fury would have an advantage with being in control of the full mount.

Characteristically, Kanitah was making jokes at what could be one of the most dangerous points in his life. Fury, having little to say, simple grinned at him in that ferocious way warriors do when they sense they’re winning a fight. The next few moments would be critical for Kanitah, could he throw the Fireen? Or was Fury to have victory with his immense advantages in grappling.
Reading it so far and it seems like the points thing is canon. So...does that mean our characters will be arguing if they should get points for a loss or not? XD


I think Rilla was hinting at a more abstract link between characters, up to each individual in how they explain away why their characters never fight each other (at least for the ranking.) and how they seem to have a general goal. There are plenty of ways to explain this away, though I suspect using your higher tier characters as a sort of 'fight master' who has control of the lower tiers would probably be the easiest way to do it.

Think of it this way, it's a chance to have characters you'd have never thought would meet or interact chat to eachother. I'm incredibly interested to know what the Clockwork Man would think of Fury.
I'm not sure any amount of rounds will allow me to defeat a wind shield that can effortlessly bounce away bullets, but I appreciate the help none the less.,
Hit out on Melon

#200PointBounty!


Come on I'll take all the fights now.

I'm pretty drunk though, so it's probably not in my best interests
