<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Stands up as the song comes to a close, steam fuming off my forehead as I stand from your previous blast*
I only have so much fear and respect to give.
*The lasers slow and stop before hitting any of us in the absence of music, allowing my brother to step aside*
No room for you on the shortlist.
*Explodes from where I stand and rockets toward a position just as you warp there, slamming my fist down like a thunderous hammer onto the side of your head as you pass, and releasing the frozen projectiles on the moment of impact*

@Unhinged

*Tumbles across the metallic floor, unable to slow myself with my wrists still bound and the healing spell desperately working to patch up the damage*
Lily, how’s it looking?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Flies backwards, spinning rapidly before that motion is stopped by me hitting the ground face-first and sliding to a halt*

@Unhinged

*Rhythmically chains gun blasts and teleportation to create a dazzling spectacle of beams throughout the combat area, targeting both of you and your escape routes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*The lights don’t follow you, avoiding catching the crowd in the crossfire*
Safety isn’t a concern for every person here. You’ve figured that out though, or at least the little fairy who does your thinking for you has.
*Widens my stance slightly*
Unless we get who we want, of course. In case you’ve forgotten why we’re here.

@Unhinged

Nice try, but not happening. You know, you should respect Lily.
*A moment after I pull the trigger, I materialize at your upper-left, falling smoothly upside down with my second gun in my off-hand*
But you should fear me.
*Fires both guns simultaneously, the first blasting you in the head and the other firing a short-distance teleportation spell in the opposite direction*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You didn’t ask, but I multicasted that for you!

@Session

*Nods once in response*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You think?
*Some of the lights begin to flash repeatedly while focused on you, burning your skin to the point of inducing smoke*

@Inimical

*Clenches my teeth when I smell my own flesh*
It’s always burns. You know that’s a safety hazard!
*Slams a handful of beads against my gun, which phase into its magazine with a flash of light*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Skids across the metallic floor until I come to a screeching halt, straightening my tie*

@Unhinged

*Runs in a zig-zag pattern, sporadically boosted by the mid-air platforms with my wrists behind my back, now clearly bound together by glowing bands*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

We can spice it up and make em blood pacts if you wan—

@Session

Absolutely not.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Throws my hands into the air melodramatically, showing off to the crowd as my helmet gleans in the intense lighting and the shard plink harmlessly off to all sides after they hit*

@Unhinged

*Kicks off with one foot and slams my head into your chest with strength exceeding our first altercation, then swings around and slams both feet against the same spot, dashing away from you but keeping both arms behind my back*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Of course we have lights! This is a show of the future!

@Inimical

There's nothing futuristic about lights!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Pst, Gio! There are pacts available.
*Hovers a list only visible to you in front of you*

@Session

Give me the first two.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Lights!
*It gashes the shirt clean open, revealing that it scraped across a metallic body armor underneath. I grab your arm as you pass, slamming you down into the ground beneath me and firmly locking your arm behind you as the stage's lights focus down on us from all sides and wipe out all shadows around us*

@Unhinged

Of course they have lights...
*Slams my foot into the metallic floor, cracking it deeply at the point of impact and hurling sharp shards directly into you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Looks down before slamming into the metal ground on my back with a loud thud, then kicking your off my leg*

@Unhinged

*Lunges from the shadows and rakes a knife across your ribcage*
