Re: Thread B - Sparring match

[Marceline Mori]

After dodging the attack, Marceline draws all of the blood she's thrown about into herself.
"Let's try something new shall we!"
Marceline says in-between a fit of joyous laughter. She holds up her right hand, and begins to draw blood from insider herself. It twists around the gauntlet, bubbling her in her hand as Marceline pictures the next trick she intends to throw out.

Kai takes a forward jab at her gauntlet arm with the pointy front end of his axe.

[Marceline Mori]

Marceline turns the consolidated blood into a twinblade and spins it around like a helicopter, striking Kai's Axe to the side then stabbing forward.

Kai dodges the blow and steps inward. Now their weapons are intertwined and shoulders practically touching. With that deadlock, Kai pulls his right hand off his weapon and backhands Marcy in the face.

[Marceline Mori]

Marcy turns her cheek, taking the blow but spinning around Kai as she does so. Her head is spilting from multiple blows, but she still has strength in her arms to strike.
Can't keep this up much longer. I've taken to many shots to the head. If we keep this up, he will just keep dancing around my attacks. I need to make one, strong blow and ends this this.
Marceline turns the twinblade back into blood and whips her arm around. Several separate tendrils of blood whip out, striking at different angles at once with supernatural force.

Luc continues to spectate off to the side, and winces when he sees Marcy get backhanded.
"Ooh, that one looked painful. Hey Kai, why do you have to go for the face? It's one of her best features, shame on you."

[Author]

Pulling full offense, Marcy strikes at Kai while he's wide open, with one hand on his weapon. The tendrils entangle him and throw him to the ground, dropping his axe. He struggles against the tendrils, but seems thoroughly amused.

[Author]

Marcy seems to succeed in holding Kai down, but he notices Marcy's currently feeble stance, after all the hits to the head and blood loss, so Kai keeps struggling. Marcy rolls 16 endurance to keep the hold, and so Kai mamages to break it after a few more seconds. He gets up, recalls his axe and points it at Marcy. "Well I guess I sorta win by endurance, but I kind of feel like that was a draw. Unless," he smirks, "You're gonna make me take you down."

[Marceline Mori]

"Oh no buster."
Marcy says with a wild smile and a slight shaking of the head.
"I don't do draws. Rrrraaagh!"
She makes a crazy over the head swing, attempting to strike Kai's legs out from under him.

[Author]

As she makes the sweep, Kai leaps at her, over the attack and throws her to the ground, holding her down by the collar.

[Marceline Mori]

"Okay, okay."
Marcy says in a fit of laughter. If the laughter is from the joy of battle or minor brain damage from taking to many blows to the head is anyone's guess.
"I submit mighty conquer. You have felled the wicked vampire. Victory is yours."
The strand of hair still hangs loose, lying down the side of her face as Marcy stares back at Kai from blood red eyes. She's breathing heavily, just like you'd except after a fit of combat, and Kai can feel her chest raising up and down.

[Luc Weiyn]

When Marceline concedes the fight, Luc steps away from the mast and claps his hands together.
"Well, the vampire may be down, but you've yet to deal with her vengeful bat companion. My turn," he declares casually, tossing his hat and shirt next to the mast he was standing at.
"Anyone need some patching up first?"

[Author]

Kai drops on his ass, catching his breath. "Yeah, I thunk'd her pretty good in the head... you alright?"

[Marceline Mori]

"Alright? That was awesome! I mean, yeah I've got a couple bumps and bruises but I haven't had a fight that good in a long time!"
Marcy rolls her neck, and pulls herself up to a sitting position.
"Better watch your ass Kai, next time I won't face plant into the side of your axe. Still, you did win fair and square."
Marcy extends her hand out towards Kai.
