Battle [Wednesday]

[knightime]

Dave Strider vs. Estonia

Weapons: Sora Himoto and Sis Strider
Location: Battle Arena
Time of day: Afternoon; After School

Dave didn't know what to expect. He didn't know who had Sis, so he couldn't assume whether this would be a hard match up or not. He was going to assume it would be troublesome. It was safer to assume the worst in this place, considering some of the matches he had went through.

But he was determined to get Sis. It was stupid, now that he thought about it. Almost kind of clingy. But he wanted her around and god damn it, it's pretty messed up when you can't even touch your own sibling. It was easy to convince Sora to be his weapon for the match. The girl was easily excited about most things, and he guessed the chance to meet Sis was a pretty good incentive for the other.

He stood in the Battle Arena, fidgeting with the glove in his hand idly, ready (or hoping he was ready) for his opponent. But at the same time, he didn't feel too tense. It was almost like strifing with Sis. And that was a familiar feel in a place that wasn't familiar at all.

"It's nice to meet you too," Sora dutifully followed her to a spot out of immediate battle range. "My name's Sora!" And then, because she'd not really had much of an explanation out of Dave, "You're his big sister?"

Estonia readied herself, meeting the first slash cleanly with her blade, although adjusting to the force behind it made a quick bend of her knees necessary. Quick though it was, she rebounded with equal speed, swinging almost clumsily, but with a good deal of force, at Dave. Another few strikes and she'd be back in form with it, but she wasn't off to a terribly impressive start.

He jumped back and away from the swing. He could tell that swords weren't something she was entirely used to, but he could also tell that she had skills with them. Which meant that this fight would get harder the longer they fought.

Shit, well, a good sword fight is always nice. He readies himself before trying to aim another slash at her.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Sora. I am indeed Dave Strider's older sister. We share the same family name, and everything, isn't that special?" Sis was dripping with sarcasm. She didn't care much for this nonsense.

Her eyes became focused on the battle. Little pangs racking her body every so often. Dave was fighting hard. Her poor child.

aaaa sorry estonia and dave d'you want to split into another thread

[allurprincess]

"Family is always special," it was pretty obvious the sarcasm had gone completely over Sora's head as she too watched the battle unfold. "It must be nice to be able to protect him here, too."

I can be up for that!

The next slash from Dave was met with another block from Estonia, stepping back to absorb some of the shock of it for Sis' sake. Then she lunged forward again, aiming her blade for what she guessed to be her opponent's dominant arm.

I'm fine with that too!

[knightime]

In his current stance, he wouldn't be able to block that hit. Shit. He'll do the next best thing. Dave was quick to shift his body. He'd take the hit, but he needed to make sure he could at least fight. If she took out his dominant hand, he'd might as well throw the towel in then and there.

But he swung at her as soon as he was sure he saw an opening. There was no point in dwelling on injuries.
