Endless Blade Waltz; Rebirth RP Thread!

(We really going to do this?) "All against all. Wouldn't have it any other way." Syfe said confidently. He walked a few steps away, and pulled out his swords. He clicked them together, and spun it slowly. He glanced to Rune. "I'll be waiting for that dance." He said. The blue-haired youth glanced towards both of his opponents. "Ready whenever you guys are." He said curtly. Hektor was going to be quick, and with that cane of his, he was the biggest threat at range. But if he got in close, then he might be able to overwhelm him, especially if he used dual wield style. Derik on the other hand, was practically the opposite. He was a huge threat up close, but was a bit slower. He was also bulky and strong, to the point that trying to beat him using lighter quick attacks would be pointless. He'd be better off being on his guard or keeping him away with bladed lance. In any case, this fight proved to be an interesting premise, if nothing else.~~~"Thank you." Rija replied thankfully to Oume. She sat down next to the bandaged boy, and relaxed against the tree. She looked to him, and found him very intriguing. "So, tell me. How'd you get here?" She asked politely. She was interested, simply because, well, because he was an interesting looking fellow. The Soldier looked straight at him, expecting an answer.

(Of course, would this be one of my RP's that involves Derik without a fight at the absolute start? It would be unnatural!)"Deal. But just to make it fair, I'll only use one blade at a time." Derik replied, sliding back away from his opponents. "Considering what my opponents are using... I'll lead Rapier first..." he thought, drawing said blade. "Syfe won't be much after a force to be recon'd with. I'm gonna want to play the defensive long game rather than going offensive here..." he held the blade across from his stomach, left arm out somewhat. He quickly got serious, his eyes narrowed and hardened onto his targets."I'll let the gentle man go first. I may not have manors, but I can at least be nice."

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

"A bout then...I accept" Hektor said in a calm and strict tone as he held his cane up in front of him, holding it with one hand while the other free, he helt it upwards as he analyzed his opponents, 'A dual blade, means he's going to be able to attack fast and be tough up close, while the other is using a rapier, a weapon fit for individual fighting, who seens to be going to be on the defensive with the other opponent's probable tactic being to charge in and attack as quick as possible' he thought as he finished analysing before adjusting his hat with his free hand.

 

"Oh but it isn't like a gentleman to attack first...Syfe if you please?" he asked with a calm tone.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Rune smiled excitedly as he watched the three fighters get in position to fight. There wasn't any hesitation. Rune clapped his hands together as he watched them with practically front row seats. By then, other people from the area had started to gather around, wondering, wishing to watch as well. "Alright! Winner gets the rest of my chocolate truffles, a dance from me, and bragging rights for the rest of the day!" Rune said as he waved his arm, ever so gracefully as he did somewhat of a signal, similar to a referee. "En garde, prêts, allez!" Rune said, repeating the words used in fencing of Ready, set, go.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

Shela hesitated, glancing from Rija to Oume.  Both looked friendly, undoubtedly, and both seemed rather lonesome, yet Shela was never the sort for pleasurable, idle chatting.  Or, rather, not since her parents died . . . . 

 

The blue-haired warrior shook her head, freeing it from the thoughts of that terrible, dreadful day when she came back to a village in shambles, flames blaring, and no soul left alive.  She looked at Rija and nodded.  "Okay, I'll stay."

 

She removed her helmet and shook her long locks away from her face.  Resting it on the ground, she dropped down beside it, sitting across from Oume.  "Well, then, what brings you two out here by the lake?  I'm assuming you both are students, warrior and dancer respectively?  Do you have anyone back at home that you miss, whether it be friends, family, lovers?"

 

At first she thought it was pointless.  This little session wouldn't go anywhere.  Shela had long lost her ability to make friends, and ofttimes she was just more sarcastic than anything else.  There was something curious about this group, however, something that sparked her interest and, strangely, hope.  For the first time in a while she actually longed to be in the companionship of another fighter, and on better terms than a simple passing or nodding of heads.

She asked politely. She was interested, simply because, well, because he was an interesting looking fellow. The Soldier looked straight at him, expecting an answer.

Oume looked at her noticing that she was waiting for an answer. He sighed and went back to cleaning and sharpening his weapons once again, figuring she wouldn't leave him alone until he gave her an answer he gave the question an answer. "Practice," without looking back at her. He stopped messing with his weapons for a few seconds, looked at her with a blank and distant look, and went back to his weapons. As he was doing this he commented, "You know that is pretty rude... Asking a question before introducing yourself, haven't your parents taught you anything?" He states without giving her so much as a side glance.

 

(I don't know what happened, I thought I posted this a day or so ago but I guess it never showed up.)

[Arya Stark 1,337]

"Oh my goodness! I'm so so sorry! I can't believe it slipped my mind. That was very unusual for me. My name is Rija Ramirez. And yourself?" She apologized profusely, bowing her head towards him. She glanced towards Shela and smiled once again. "Yeah, I'm a dancer I guess. I came to the lake because I've always been a fan of the waterside. And I left my father back home when I left. But he'll be fine! He's about the toughest fighter I've ever met, and he has all of his other companions to help him out too. What about you? Oh, and what's your name? Nearly forgot that one again."

Alyssa finished off her dance, and slowly opened her eyes. Of course, once she did, she immediately freaked out. This many people had been watching her dance! But... but... Her eyes flashed from face to face, remaining for just a second longer on two of fighters, one shirtless and the other well-armored. As soon as she regained enough control of herself, she darted away, fleeing from the crowd on her nimble bare feet.

~~~~

Syfe glanced towards his two opponents and grinned. "While you two may be fools and gentlemen, I am a winner, and winners take advantage of every fair opportunity they get." He said. "I accept the first move, and the duel will start..." Syfe said, pausing for just a moment as he took in his surroundings for just a bit longer. "Now!" He cried, lunging forward towards Hektor with a stabbing attack, followed by a precise spin of his dual blade. After the quick series of attacks, he brought his weapon close to his body, and clicked them apart, and now holding his twin swords, sliced downwards with both of them. He kept one eye slightly on Derik, sure that if he let him, he would take him down from behind.

"He went for Hektor first. I see..." Derik knew moving in for an attack on Hektor would be fruitless, but setting up his next attack would be the best move. With utmost speed, Derik dashed and ducked below Syfe's dual strike, throwing a strong slash to his opponent's strike's in order to deflect the attack incoming on Hektor, following through with his motion, Derik pushed past Syfe , drawing his Shimitar and switching out his rapure, he slammed the tip of it into the dirt, and drew his rapure again as he released the Schimitar, which it's handle stuck at a slight angle. With that, Derik switched his grip on the rapure and stood back in a defensive mid-stance, his hand ready for his next move, open, but with finger's hooked inward.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

"Quite" Hektor said aggreing partially with what Syfe said as he moved to the side almost instantly as Syfe attacked him with a thrust of his dual blade, and nimbly ducking below his dual blade spin as Derik blocked the next of Syfe's attack as Hektor smiled as Derik even managed to push through Syfe.

 

"Now its my turn." Hektor said as he quickly dashed at Syfe from behind, only to sidestep to his side, with a spin he slashed at Syfe, aimed at his chest, he quickly spun around again as he dashed at Derik, sidestepping before he could get close enough as he swung his cane at him in a diagonal motion, downard, with finesse and speed, thats the way his family fought, and thats how he fought as well, spinning around instead of rolling was just the basics of it.

"Ah crap" Alexander let out as he saw Alyssa run away from either him and Runa, or the crowd, or both, still, he quickly pushed past the crowd and turned around in frotn of them, "Alright people, next time let a lady dance in peace for once!" He shouted at them before turning around and following the dancer, "Catch up Runa." he said jokingly.

Derik's hand, prepped for the situation, moved. And with that move, it grabbed the ball of the cane. It is pointed, yes, but as with most weapons that have a point as a main source of attack but isn't sharply bladed on it's sides, it's not gonna cut you. With said grab, Derik leaped upwards and did an areal dual-kick to the head, then bringing his legs downward, into Hektor's elbow, he threw his weight back and tried to flip Hektor, throwing all of his weight into it.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Hektor had prepared for a counter attack,although he didn't expect a counter attack that involved him being thrown, but alas, he went along with Derik's wrestling move as he prepared to be sent flying from it, he was thrown a few meters away, but regaining his balance managing to grab his tophat mid air, as with a flip mid air, he fell on his feet, unhurt as he slid across the floor from the force, quickly putting the top hat on his head again, "Not bad Derik" Hektor complimented him as he assumed a defensive stance, ready for an attack from either Syfe,Derik, or both.

Runa was mesmerized, it took a few seconds to realize that the dancer had ran off. "H-Hey! Wait! Don't!" Runa said, but she was already running off. He paused a moment and shook his head as he followed Alexander. "Wait up!" Runa said as he ran with Alexander, hoping to catch up with the beautiful dancer. "Wha! Wait! Dancer! Lady! Bella!" Runa called as he followed with Alexander. Dancers were pretty fast, he admitted. "Please don't run away! We just wanted to ask for your name?" Runa said as he ran after the girl, and without much of a struggle ended up catching up, running up besides her. "H-Hey." Runa said as he smiled. "You know this is pretty nice, jogging around the lake. Though I doubt it'd be an appropriate activity for lunch." Runa said jokingly, hoping to not get smacked by the girl in his attempt to flirt.

"Not a bad recovery yourself, Hektor" Derik noted, landing on the ground, he slid back to the position by his embedded blade, switching to a more offensive stance, he held his rapure in his left hand, reverse style, and out-stretched, the edge seemed to follow his forearm as he slid into a back stance. His right hand sat just below the guard of the blade, should he need to switch his grip in an instant.

(i'l wait for Syfe's move)

 

"Oh give her a break Runa" Alexander said as he catched up as well, although he struggle a bit, he was runnign with a lot of armor on him after all, and a halberd on his back didn't help much, although he had unsheathed his halberd and put it on both Alyssa and Runa's way, long enough to reach Runa by the back of its tip, barely at the blade of it, stopping both of them slowly, as to not trip the dancer or Runa, "Alright...god...I can't run that much with all this armor" He said taking a deep breath as he looked at Alyssa, "Hey, we didn't mean to startle you, we saw the crowd looking at you, and by your reaction, I don't think you wanted them to be there." He said in a friendly tone, "Sorry if we did startle you though" he apologized.

"I came to the lake to get some peace and quiet, hoping to get some sleep as well." Oume stated honestly. Thinking to himself 'That didn't turn out well for about a few seconds, as you can tell.' "To answer your next question yes I do go to this school and yes I am a warrior." He answered while putting his swords back into their sheaths. "And lastly I have family but... No place to call a Home." Oume said, as he remembers what happened to his house he starts to breath heavier, and abruptly gets up and starts walking away from the two girls.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

Syfe turned, his attack having been unsuccessful. He still held his twin swords, and decided to switch them into the style of the dual blade. "Now now, no need to hesitate. You'll lose your momentum standing around like that." Syfe said, already beginning to prep his net move. He rushed forward toward Derik suddenly, and on his way, grabbed the blade Derik had stuck into the ground with his free hand. Now nearby his much larger opponent, he lashed out with his dualblade, lunging. As he lunged, he also swung the scavenged sword over his head, then let go at the apex, throwing it at Derik like a tomahawk. Was that going to be extremely effective if it landed, no, but it removed the preparation Derik had set in place, and added an attack to the barrage he had set up.

Rija did not hesitate to walk over to where Oume had begun to walk away. "Hey, wait up! It's okay if you don't want to talk about sir, but please, stay with us. I for one would definitely like to have a new friend, especially here, where I am unfamiliar with almost everybody." Rija attempted to persuade him to stay. She was being honest, as much as someone might not want to believe it.

~~~~

Alyssa stopped, folding her hands together. Her eyes still seemed like a frightened gazelle's, but she had stopped. The Dancer cleared her throat. "I'm, uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to really run away from you guys specifically, I was just, just surprised that so many people had been watching me." Her voice was soft and meek, like she had been shaken up recently. Which, she had been. That dance was just practice, she hadn't wanted so many people to pay attention.

Derik's back leg slid, and with an upward-motion, Derik put all his force into knocking Syfe's dual blade upwards, leaving Derik right next to him. As Syfe threw his other sword, Derik pushed Syfe as hard as he could with his counter strike. As the couner-slash pulled Syfe's dualblade away from Derik's body, his grip switched to the standard forward grip, and a heavy, forward slash, Derik attacked Syfe from an incredibly close range...

[Stardustblade358 806]

Runa smiled and gave a nervous chuckle. "W-Well it wouldn't be much of a surprise! I mean, you danced beautifully. Amazing. Great. Fantastic...I ran out of words..." Runa muttered as he played with his fingers. He cleared up his throat, fixing himself up. "I-I mean, it was impossible not to watch such a beautiful dance...I'm Runa, you might know my brother, Rune, who's also a dancer of his own right...but not as graceful as you I'm sure!" Runa said, attempting at flirting, and miserably failing.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Hektor watched in amusement at Syfe's attack and as Derik was countering it, Hektor quickly dashed at them, at impressive speeds lunging at them both with a quick horizontal slash with his cane, leaving unabling Derik to grab its point again.

Alexander literally cringed at Runa's flirting with Alyssa, he holstered his halberd on his back, sideways as to not touch the ground in the case he had to run or walk, "Hey, i'd be startled if I finished what I was doing only to see a big crowd looking at me." He said with a small chuckle, as he took note of her looks, and her kinda frightened state, "Well the crowd is gone, if it helps, still...whats your name? Im Alexander." He said to her in a friendly tone.

Upon completion of Derik's slash, he drove the point of his rapure into the dirt, throwing his wright into that, he swung his body on it's tip: as a result, he span around mid-air, as he did so, he preformed a low kick to Hektor's legs, launching himself right at Hektor.(this scene cracks me up a bit. Hektor ran in during a slash and attacked at both of them, Derik just did a slash/parrie and Syfe tried throwing Derik's sword like a boomerang. It's very awkwardly close at this point, so much so it's funny

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Before the kick to his Legs could connect, Hektor threw his weight to the side,making him spin mid air, narrowly avoding Derik's kick as Derik launched himself at Hektor by using his rapier to launch him, to which Hektor defended by retracting his slash and doing a hit with the his cane's hilt, whether or not Derik was hit, Hektor spun to the side and landed on his knees, holding onto his tophat as he did, cleaning the dust off his attire.

(I know. I'm not saying this I realiztic, just really close!)As Derik wasn't tied to the ground in any way, his momentum carried his kicks, dragging him and his rapure out of the range of Henry's cane. When he felt himself slow in the air, he drove his rapure into the ground, putting his feet up on the guard, once his momentum slowed, he pushed off of the blade and lept back over to his schimitar, which had made its landing. "Trying pretty hard to get us both in one false swipe, eh, Hektor?"

Oume looked over at Rija went ahead to get in front of her and stopped so she couldn't see his face. "It isn't a good idea to get mixed up with me, because as soon as I am out of this god forsaken school... I am going to tear those bastards apart, one by one for burning my families home done." He said as he bit his lower lip causing it to bleed and clinching his left hand into a fist and grabbing the right side of his face with his right hand. Soon after he begins to break down, "Those... Those people took my families home away from them... W-We didn't do anything to deserve it. We could hardly feed ourselves... So why...? Why did they attack us?" Oume got on his hands and knees and began to cry uncontrollably.
