Oichi vs. Meryl
Weapons: Dave Strider and Hikaru Sulu
Location: The Courtyard
Time of day: Jan 11 (day 2 of round -1), Afternoon

This was the moment that both opponents were looking forward to so much. The thought of fighting becoming a game was both exciting and mildly terrifying; was people getting hurt really a source of fun?

Well, it was kind of too late to think about that. Meryl was already in the courtyard with her weapon, and she was already trying to think up some sort of strategy. The system was kind of strange, but she somehow knew what to do. All she had to do now was fight; it wouldn't be easy, but it usually never was.

[ Meryl gets Oichi a few times in her attempts to get around her defense-- it's by no means a perfect one-- and when she strikes for the ankles, it connects.

She doesn't move after her ankles are hit, withstanding the blow, and instead goes to strike downward into Meryl's core. She throws all her weight into it and is quite open afterward-- but it's a way to maybe end it quickly. The pain is starting to grind on her as well. ]

AAHH!

[Meryl tried to get up, but was quickly interrupted by the blow to her midsection. She still wasn't even bleeding, but she still fell to the ground. She could take a lot, but a direct hit was too much for her.]

[ Oichi doesn't attack again after she cries out. Just giggles to herself quietly, sword at ease. ]

[Her weapon disappears, and the pain slowly starts to fade, almost as if it was all make-believe.]

Ugh... I guess you win.

Ichi wins? Ichi wins...

[ Her weapon also disappears and she looks confused at her hands for a brief moment before the corners of her mouth quirk up ]

How lovely... you aren't too hurt, are you?

[It was still painful, but it was fading.]

I'll be fine in a bit.

[Strange, there weren't even any wounds.]

[ Oichi comes to sit by her, looking her over. ] You're not bleeding... how odd, how ever-so-odd... Ichi gets a prize now that she's won, doesn't she?

I'm supposed to give my weapon to you, and I think you got some tokens, but that comes from the school itself.

[Guess who's been reading the rulebook instead of paying attention during class?]
