[6:36 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire awakens, feeling much better than before. Most of the soreness and pain that's been keeping her in bed has mostly taken its leave with the help of the ointment. And perhaps she should give credit to the massage. Perhaps. Either way, she gets up and looks around. Versailles didn't seem to be around, and it would appear Sula was sound asleep. Taking the opportunity, she gets up and heads out, grabbing her belongings along the way.
[6:38 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Once she was out, she began wandering the grounds. This was the first time she's been in this new setting, so much exploration was to be done
[6:39 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Eventually, she came upon the arena, where people would bet gold and fight. Claire wasn't too fond of the first part, but the second part sounded really appealing.
[6:39 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She grabbed a spare set of armour and looked around
[6:45 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori was sitting around in the stands watchings the fights.
With what's happening outside, I would've expected more of these people to be out there fighting the real threat if they're so starved for battle. If they were amateur's that'd be one thing but...
Her thoughts trailed off when she spotted Claire entering the arena. Tori walked up to her
"Feeling better already?"
[6:47 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Tori! So you made it out safely as well?" she asked, glad to see someone who wasn't in critical condition.
[6:48 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Yeah, I've recovered for the most part, I haven't been able to get out of the medic ward ever since we've had to set up base here."
[6:48 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Is this some sort of arena?"
[6:53 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Safely is not how I'd put it. I'm pretty sure I cheated death at least once or twice."
Tori turned her head to the middle of the ring
"Yeah, it's more a betting ring really. Though sometimes you meet the occasional freelance knight who try to catch the eye of high ranking officials. They're really the only reason I visit."
[6:54 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Only? You don't fight?"
[6:56 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Well I do get suckered in sometimes. Really ruins it for any spectators who bet on matches though."(edited)
[6:57 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "There's occasionally a foreign challenger who let a few wins get to their head."
[7:00 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Heh, well, can I suck you into a match right now?"
[7:02 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Are you sure that's a good idea? You only recovered just now and there's plenty of monsters outside we should be fighting instead."
[7:03 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Yeah, there are a lot of monsters out there, but I think it would be better to fight for sport, rather than fighting for our lives, right? As you've said, I have only recovered, and I want to get back into it as soon as possible."
[7:06 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Think of it as... A more realistic spar."
[7:08 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Well I guess it's not a bad idea to make sure you're actually in fighting shape before sending you back out there. All right, I guess it can't hurt to make sure a friend is healthy."
[7:08 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Wait here, I'll get us signed up"
Tori heads to the sign up desk
[7:09 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori comes back
"Ok, we are up after these next two fights."
[7:14 PM] AOMidori20: ===coupl'a battles later==
[7:15 PM] AOMidori20: The announcer's voice booms out from the arena, echoing all around.
"WELCOME TO THE AMATERASU BATTLE ARENA! HERE WE'LL BE WATCHING TWO WARRIORS IN A BATTLE OF STRENGTH AND WITS!"
[7:15 PM] AOMidori20: "FIGHTER NUMBER ONE IS..."
[7:15 PM] AOMidori20: "CLARISSA!"
[7:16 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire enters. "Its Claire..."
[7:16 PM] AOMidori20: "AND FIGHTER NUMBER TWO, ATOP HER HORSE..."
[7:16 PM] AOMidori20: "TERRY!"
[7:18 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: [Crowd]: IT'S TORI
[Crowd]: Ya get 'em!
[Crowd]: Great another overconfident foreigner!
[7:18 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Wow, you're popular..."
[7:18 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori steps in "He's never gonna get that right is he?"
[7:19 PM] AOMidori20: The doors leading the fighters out to the circle close.
[7:19 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Ready?"
[7:19 PM] AOMidori20: "AND THEY'RE OFF!"
[7:19 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire pulls out her sword
[7:19 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Here I come!"
[7:19 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She charges in
[7:19 PM] AOMidori20: "CLARISSA IS OFF TO A HOT START!"
[7:20 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori stays in place, and raises her sword to prepare a counter
[7:21 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She swings
[7:21 PM] AOMidori20: "TERRY STANDS TALL, GOING IN FOR THE BLOCK..."
[7:21 PM] AOMidori20: "OHHHH!"
[7:24 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Carefully watching Claire's movements, Tori moved sideways slightly then quickly lunged her sword and struck Claire's helmet(edited)
[7:25 PM] AOMidori20: "OH! A NICE COUNTER!"
[7:25 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She recoils, but recovers and strikes again
[7:26 PM] AOMidori20: "RISSA GOES IN FOR ANOTHER STRIKE!"
[7:27 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Unable to put up a defense a second time, Tori took a hit to the torso.
[7:28 PM] AOMidori20: "OH! TERRY CAN'T KEEP IT UP!"
[7:28 PM] AOMidori20: "SHE TAKES A HIT RIGHT INTO HER STOMACH!"
[7:28 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Not letting up, Claire strikes twice more
[7:28 PM] AOMidori20: "RISSA'S NOT STOPPING!"
[7:34 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Not having fully recovered from the first attack, Tori took another hit to the shoulder but was able to stave off the second attack.
She then made her horse leap back to create distance, then charged at Claire, swining her sword at Claire's chest as she rode past.
[7:34 PM] AOMidori20: "OH, ANOTHER HIT!"
[7:34 PM] AOMidori20: "AND TERRY JUMPS BACK ON HER HORSE, USING THAT TO HER ADVANTAGE."
[7:35 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire raises her sword on the defence, planting her feet to the ground, she holds her sword so the flat end is facing the incoming strike, with hopes to counter with a shove
[7:35 PM] AOMidori20: "RISSA, LOOKING TO SHOVE A HORSE, NOT VERY SMART MOVE..."
[7:36 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: And then they collide.
[7:37 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire's sword breaks in two, allowing tori's strike to connect with her chest, sending the knight to the ground
[7:38 PM] AOMidori20: "OH! AND IT IS JUST AS PREDICTED, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, RISSA'S ON THE GROUND, HER SWORD'S BROKEN!"
[7:38 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori rode next to where Claire fell and dismounted
She extended a hand
"Good fight, looks like you should be fine"
[7:39 PM] AOMidori20: "TERRY'S DOWN, IS SHE CALLING A DRAW?"
[7:39 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: [Crowd]: Silence
[7:39 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire grabs the hand. "Good fight, I think it's about time for my sword to meet the smith."
[7:40 PM] AOMidori20: "IT LOOKS LIKE RISSA IS YIELDING, EVERYONE!"
[7:41 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: [Crowd]: Erupts with noise
[Crowd]: WHOA WHO WAS THAT
[Crowd]: THAT WAS CLOSE WOW
[Crowd]: CLAIRE WAS IT? I'M CHEERING FOR YOU NEXT ROUND
[7:43 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire goes to pick up her now broken sword before standing high and waving to the crowd
[7:44 PM] AOMidori20: "THE WINNER IS TERRY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
[7:44 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: [Crowd]: IT'S TORI
[7:44 PM] AOMidori20: "TERRY!"
[7:45 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori walks off to take her horse back to the stables then returns to where she initially met Claire
[7:46 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: Claire exits the arena and meets up with Tori
[7:46 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Sorry about breaking your sword there, didn't mean for that to happen"
[7:47 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "No, it was a fierce battle down in the cave, and I made this sword 3 years ago, it wasn't a master piece."
[7:48 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Which way to the Smith?"
[7:50 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Well first, I need to get my..."
Tori motioned quotation marks with her hands
"armor then we can be on our way"
[7:51 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Follow me"
[7:51 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Heh, armour, mine was at the inn, and the guard's armour was practically shredded by shurikens"
[7:51 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Right." she follows
[7:54 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori points the way to the forge.
"It's right over there. I need to go to my room to pick up my stuff. I'll be right back."
[7:54 PM] AOMidori20: Said smith is busy doing smith things.
[7:54 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Alright, I'll just head in first then."
[7:54 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She enters
[7:54 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Hello?"
[7:55 PM] AOMidori20: Abner glances back, then turns, waving. "'ello, there. You new here?"
[7:55 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Somewhat, first time at this blacksmith. I'm here for a repair, and maybe a new set of armour."
[7:56 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She holds up her sword...s
[7:56 PM] AOMidori20: "Ah... give that 'ere, let me take a look."
[7:56 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She places the sword on the table
[7:57 PM] AOMidori20: Abner takes it, turning it over. "Hrm... now, what can I fix you with..." He rubs his chin.
[7:59 PM] AOMidori20: "I can get this fixed right up, miss, don't you worry." He makes his way to the forge.
[8:00 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Thank you." she says before she begins to look around at the selection
[8:00 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: pretty impressive, considering the situation. They're doing a good job(edited)
[8:01 PM] AOMidori20: "Feel free to try any of 'em on. I carry only the finest."
[8:01 PM] AOMidori20: Abner doesn't look up from his work.
[8:01 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She curiously looks over at the scrolls and tomes section
[8:02 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori strolls into the forge holding a bag of scrap metal.
"Phew, getting to my room took longer than I thought"
[8:02 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Is the smith in?"
[8:03 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "He's working on my sword."
[8:03 PM] AOMidori20: "Watcha need?" Abner continues to work on the sword.
[8:03 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Is there another Smith? Or does he do magic as well?"
[8:03 PM] AOMidori20: "My 'assistant' is probably holed up in the lady's room 'avin' a panic attack."
[8:04 PM] AOMidori20: "She works on your magic. Tomes, fans, what-'ave-you."
[8:04 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Er well I'm pretty sure nothing can be done about this but I thought I should bring this in anyway"
Tori put her bag on the counter
[8:04 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Hmm, is something wrong with her?"
[8:05 PM] AOMidori20: "She's shy." Abner glances at Tori. "I can't quite do much if you don't show me what you've got, can I, miss?"
[8:06 PM] DiurnalKnight!: Well, speak of the tiny socially awkward devil and she shall appear. In a poof of bubbles she appears behind Abner and promptly falls flat on her face
[8:06 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Right"
Tori empties the bag's contents onto the counter
[8:06 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "And that's her I assume?"
[8:07 PM] AOMidori20: "If that fallin's any indication, yes. Regie! We got customers."
[8:08 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Ow..."
[8:08 PM] DiurnalKnight!: She stands up, wobbling a bit
[8:08 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "U-u-um... d-do they need something...?"
[8:08 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Are you alright?"
[8:08 PM] AOMidori20: "Course they need somethin'! They wouldn't be customers if they weren't, would they? Go check out what that lady emptied out."
[8:09 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Good to see you haven't changed since I last saw you Regie"
[8:09 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "S-sorry!" She bows and then begins checking it
[8:10 PM] AOMidori20: "Well, Reg, what do we got?"
[8:12 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "U-um... Armor... d-d-d-destroyed..."
[8:12 PM] AOMidori20: "Destroyed, or dented?"
[8:12 PM] DiurnalKnight!: She holds up a chunk of it, hands shaking
[8:13 PM] AOMidori20: Abner glances up and back down. "...yeah, that's destroyed. What's she want me to do with it?"
[8:14 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "U-um..." She stutters for a few moments, then shrugs
[8:14 PM] AOMidori20: "Well, ask 'er."
[8:14 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "c-c-c-could you...?"
[8:16 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Well I expected that answer. Could you at least use it to make a new one?
[8:16 PM] AOMidori20: "I might. What kinda armor we talking, 'ere?"
[8:17 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Light armor, suitable for riding a horse with."(edited)
[8:17 PM] AOMidori20: "Right... cavalier's armor?"(edited)
[8:18 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "That'll do it."
[8:19 PM] AOMidori20: "How big would you say you are, miss?"
[8:23 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Er... let me get that to you in writing"
[8:23 PM] DiurnalKnight!: That response causes Regie to cover her face with her hat in embarrassment
[8:23 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Do you have anything I could write with and write on?"
[8:23 PM] AOMidori20: "Al...right. Can't quite get to work until you give me that info."
[8:23 PM] AOMidori20: "Regie! Get 'er some quills an' paper."
[8:24 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "And uh, I could use some armour myself.. But, I guess it would be difficult in our current situation..."
[8:24 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Oh! Y-yes!" She stumbles over and gets the quills and paper before placing them on the counter, almost dropping them in the process
[8:24 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "sorry..."
[8:24 PM] AOMidori20: "Well, considerin' our current predicament, I'd say it wouldn't be too right to charge you for basic equipment."
[8:25 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "My armour was made in Nohr, and it was custom made as well..."
[8:25 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "w-w-w-we have p-plenty of extra scrap metal... all l-left over from the fight..." She says quietly, standing behind Abner
[8:25 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori wrote down her measurements, folded the paper, then handed it over to Regie(edited)
[8:25 PM] AOMidori20: Abner scoffs. "Nohr." He waves a hand. "Busy, lass. Give it to Regie."
[8:26 PM] AOMidori20: "Nohr don't have nothin' on my work, miss, I can assure you. I carry only the finest!"
[8:26 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "O-oh!" Regie warily takes it, hands shaking "s-sorry..."
[8:27 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Very well, my armour was supposed to be a knight's but made lighter so someone of my build can actually move without difficulty."(edited)
[8:28 PM] AOMidori20: "Yeah? I'm gonna need your size for somethin' like that too, then."
[8:29 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Of course, may I have another sheet?"
[8:29 PM] AOMidori20: "Regie, more quills and paper."
[8:30 PM] DiurnalKnight!: She pushes some over gingerly
[8:31 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Thank you" she smiled before quickly writing down her measurements and handing Regie the now folded sheet
[8:32 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Wh-why do I need to have their measurements...? I don't even make this kind of armor..." She thinks
[8:32 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Can you please give that to the blacksmith?"
[8:32 PM] AOMidori20: "Now, I can get to Miss Cavalier's armor first, and more easily." Abner pulls out the now-fixed, steaming sword. He offers the flat to Claire. "Go on, then. Give 'er a feel."
[8:33 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: She holds her sword, tried a couple swings before sheathing it.
[8:33 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Good as new, Thank you!"
[8:34 PM] AOMidori20: "No problem! Regie, can I get Miss Cavalier's measurements?"
[8:35 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Y-yes sir..." She hands them over, being sure not to look at them
[8:36 PM] AOMidori20: Abner unfolds the paper, looking over them. "Regie, can you get to meltin' down the horsewoman's scrap?"
[8:37 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: Tori begins browsing the various weapons while waiting
[8:37 PM] AOMidori20: He lumbers over next to Tori. "See anything you like?"
[8:37 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Y-yes sir..." She gingerly begins taking the scrap to a large furnace
[8:39 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "No, I just enjoy browsing."
[8:39 PM] AOMidori20: "Ah. I can guarantee, they're all high quality."
[8:40 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Aha, seeing what you did with Claire's sword, I believe it"
[8:40 PM] DiurnalKnight!: She gets it loaded in and takes a small red book, lighting the furnace with a bit of fire magic
[8:40 PM] AOMidori20: "Oh, that? That was nothin'."
[8:41 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "So how long is my armor going to take?"
[8:41 PM] AOMidori20: "'bout a day for both of you."
[8:41 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Sounds good."
[8:42 PM] Star Guardian Shiraho: "Sounds about right, I'll be seeing you then."
Tori waves to everyone then leaves
[8:42 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "I-I'll just keep working on this then..."
[8:43 PM] AOMidori20: "See ya, Miss..." He turns to Claire. "You gonna clear out, too, or just watch?"
[8:43 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Uh, I actually have a question for her."
[8:44 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "H-huh...? w-w-wait, as in me...?"
[8:44 PM] AOMidori20: "For Reg, eh? Try not to ask it too loudly."
[8:44 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Yes, I've heard some speak of weapons imbued with magic, I was thinking if anyone would know, it would be you."
[8:45 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "U-um... y-yes, i know about magic weapons..."
[8:46 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "So they do exist? Would you happen to have any in stock? I've always wanted to see one."
[8:46 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "m-most of our stuff was stolen or d-d-d-destroyed in the attack..."
[8:47 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Oh, I see... My condolences."
[8:47 PM] AOMidori20: "Don't worry about it. Ain't like somethin' died. We can always replace it."
[8:48 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Right but still... Well, as long as you two are well, then I guess it is alright."
[8:50 PM] [BSpicy]Bemoney: "Well, in that case, I'll be off. Have a nice day!" and with a wave she exit the shop
[8:51 PM] DiurnalKnight!: Regie gives a sigh of relief
[8:51 PM] AOMidori20: "Come back in a day 'r two!" Abner waves, then turns to the job he has ahead of him.
[8:51 PM] AOMidori20: ========end that rp baby======
