Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

God. Fucking. Dam it! I lost my post because the stupid website went down again. Fuck! I'm sorry Skal. I'll try to remake it, but it will take a bit. I just need to recover from the frustration and clean the house, god. So much to do.

I apply humanity to everything, and the Dreamers may focus more on logic to dictate their actions, but still had human emotion albeit suppressed. After all they seem no less capable of rage and indignation than any other person. These feelings, to me at least, are more emotional than logical. Those who are truly logical cannot be moved by feelings and opinion, only facts and more logic. So even if they are not meant to be human. They have at least some human qualities to them.

Also consider this an open invitation. I love talking story, and promote that you comment as much as you want.

On a story note. I think Scion will most likely take a neutral stance with the Dreamers. This is in light of your most recent post. He would not completely dislike Skal like he did at first. Though I am speaking in terms of end game. As for right now he is still pretty mad, and will do his best to pay Skal back for screwing up his vacation. You also may have made Dennis mad. Trust me when I say that is hard to do. Still forgiveness is in the cards, but for now some steam needs to be let off.

Also, on a different background plot note. What is the Dreamers take on dimensional travelers. I know there are more travelers than just Scion, but am unsure if the Dreamers view themselves as universal watchers, or cops. At least when it comes to interdimensional threats. This is only in light of the fact that their greatest enemy is trapped in another dimension. So, would need a dimensional traveler to escape.

I will post probably tomorrow, for it is late and I must work in the morning. So I shall have my reply then.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

Well. I am glad that it isn't over, but that is a hell of a thing to gamble with someone on. It is very manipulative and even arrogant for a character to assume that things will always go in their favor. It can also lead to them being very disliked by those who don't care for string pullers.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

Scion had not been expecting the security officer to fire on Skalagrim. It seemed he had been too slow with his warning to prevent the people from taking rash actions, and now an innocent man named Peter was being held hostage for Scion's perceived crime. This aggravated Scion to no end. These actions were beyond cowardly, he thought, and were even bordering on cheesy villain. Skalagrim held a hostage whom he made not only declare he had a family, but also went as far to try to place the man's death on Scion's shoulders. Scion knew the man committed no crime worthy of such punishment, and even his own crime was hardly worth this kind of backlash. He found the entire display very petty, and painting a very negative image of the Dreamers in his mind. He didn't know much about them, other than what he heard as rumors, but if this was a display of their nature, then perhaps they might not be people he cared to leave be anymore. He has tried on many occasions to fight off the invading forces of the multiverse. The people of this world did not deserve this, and the shallow reasoning he has heard to consider this action just made him sick. He wanted to scream at Skalagrim. To call him an honorless coward, and his Queen a petty bitch. However, despite all the spiteful words he wanted to throw at him in response, he could not in good conscious, let that man and these people die for him. No matter how stupid he thought the whole thing was, or how much he wanted to beat Skalator's stupid non-existent face in. He needed to let Skalagrim win, and the only way to do that was to comply. His own pain meant nothing in favor of doing what he thought was right.

Scion turns to face Skalagrim with a look of pure contempt and hatred in his eyes. He reluctantly throws down his weapon and throws up his arms, then doing his best to not sound sarcastic he says, "Fine. I'm sorry. I surrender. You're Queen's the greatest. I'm a worthless maggot. You are my unchallenged better, and I was woe to ever have questioned your greatness." He rattles off as if reading a teleprompter.

He then shifts to a more serious tone as he looks to Peter, "Now let the man go, and go ahead and beat me to death already. I'm sure that was the only acceptable apology anyway. It's not like it will be the first time I've died." He let's out a long sigh, "I doubt it will be the last either." he near mumbles as he slumps his shoulders, tears edging at his eyes. This was all so unfair and he just wanted to scream so badly to let out his frustration, but there was nothing he could do with so many at risk. He had to let that thought keep him in check. He had been prepared to fight Skalagrim for his pride, but not to sacrifice others for it. He does feel the need to make one spiteful comment though. He glares at Skalagrim then in a disappointed tone says, "I guess we won't see how I will defeat you." he then falls silent and waits, looking to the ground, defenseless before Skalagrim.

@SkallagrimWell crap. Skal. I guess you won before we even began. I know Scion can be a bit of an ass, but as angry, depressed, and frustrated as he is. He will throw a fight to save a mans life. That has always been a way to defeat him. No real hero risks an innocent's life for their pride. He also isn't going to try some daring rescue when it is abundantly clear his opponent could kill everyone there. That this thing with the bullet is just a show. So there is no point in retaliating. The only option for him, at this point, is to surrender.

Scion is not typically a violent or even angry person having been one to always approach a situation with a peaceful resolution in mind. He was not feeling like peace today. It seemed as if everyone in the park was panicking on a severe scale and were injuring each other in the wake of self preservation. All the senseless violence and fear was what Scion had come here to escape and now Skalagrim had brought it all with him. Scion had bearly enough time to register Skalagrim taking a step towards him and made a subconscious step backwards in response, knocking the recliner back as he did. The step had proven to be just be enough to avoid a nasty backhand to his face. Scion could swear he felt a strong gust of wind as it sored by. However, he wasn't in the clear as the swing was followed by an ominous black sphere shooting out at him from a dagger Skalagrim had drawn. Scion tried to backpedal again, but the recliner refused to budge, having gotten caught on a line in the concrete walkway, and Scion fell backwards and rolled over the recliner as the dark ball sored overhead. Scion fearing a quick counter attack continued to roll several feet further from Skalagrim, before quickly pushing off the ground and springing to his feet.

If Scion had any doubts about a peaceful resolution, then they were confirmed by that sudden cheap shot. Scion quickly reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a black tonfa, dubbed the Force Tonfa, from his coat. He then turns so that his right side is facing Skalagrim, and wields the tonfa in a defensive grip. The crowds all around were still in a blind panic and Scion was furious with Skalagrim for hurting all these innocent bystanders. He needed to try to calm the crowd, forcing energy into his voice he yells louder than any human had a right to, "BE STILL!" his voice echoing across the entire park. Scion is unable to take his attention of Skalagrim, but he hopped that his declaration would have at least give some people reason to pause their mad dash to safety.

OK. That has cleared things up considerably. So, the dagger is making a light show more or less, but, the way I see it, will still spook Scion regardless. I will try to work on something tonight. Sorry I disappeared for a bit there. My friday and saturday were unexpectedly busy and has killed a lot of my energy.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

@SkallagrimI'm not going to be able to work on this until I get off work, but I have a quick question I wanted to ask before I left. What does the dark mist from the dagger do? I am under the impression that since it can form a shield out of dark energy/matter that it strikes with with kinetic force behind it rather than generic magical energy. My follow up question is how much force does it strike with, if the first assumption is true. I just didn't see a line of reference to the amount of force it can produce in the weapons description.

On a different note. I had totally missed the line in which he slid off the horse. That was a bit of an oversight on my part, but what I really hadn't counted on, was him to just attacking flat out. I knew he was mad, but I thought he would atleast hear the first word before deciding that he wasn't in a listening mood. Looking it over. Scion could potentially dodge the back hand in a panic back step, but the dagger will pretty much get a clean shot. So, that's why I wanted to know what forces it can project to properly account for the blow.

@SkallagrimOK. It only took cranking Scion's anger up to 11, and his stress to 30, but we finally have a man who won't back down. This is actually uncharacteristic for Scion. He is usually a bit cowardly and pacifistic. He is just really having a very bad day.
