Challenge for Old Market

Post by Sabine »

Hi Hope!

I was going to leave your barony alone but I got wind of something or other that left this dog with it's hackles rising.

Let's meet in a ring and see if we can come to an understanding. 'K?

BTW. Thanks for thinking I'm cute.

I guess it's a little too late to suggest not to take it personally. Before I accept I'll give you the option of dropping your challenge and becoming my Squire.

-P.s., I still think you're cute even if you're challenging me.

Hope,

That is insulting. See you in the ring.

No, Jesse, you are a Warlord and currently challenging for a barony, and can't be a squire.

Warlord discrimination is the worst. I should be allowed to be a squire if I feel I'm one on the inside. Don't judge me! THIS IS A NO - JUDGEMENT ZONE!

Stop Warlordphobia now!

Jesse would this be before or after you burn things on my front lawn?

I guess my humor is batting for zero lately. Sabine I'd like to speak with you if I could before accepting. I know you are not fond of the Isle so I understand the Tower isn't going to work. Maybe you could stop by the Cardinal Inn and we can share a drink of tea.

Don't blame me for the action of elves. Mayhaps a genocide of all long ears is in order.

Sabine wins in two matches. Both were nail biting sudden death bouts.

MOOOAR DETAILS LATER. FOR NOW, I'M GOING TO GO SLEEP.

Oh and Sabine went renegade.. and even though the whole standings have been updated, they aren't official, so Sabine will be Baron officially, the same with Claire being officially Overlord, SIX PM (EST) TODAY! THURSDAY!

Unless I'm wrong. Which I totally bet I'm not.

ROUND BY ROUND DETAILS.

Code: Select all

DUEL Jesse: "We're about to have a head to head! Team Dirty against.. Team.. Well, I don't think Sabine is on a team. Either way, we have in the lame-corner, Hope, someone who is the Keeper of Fire as well for some odd reason. I never see her around, nor does she really appear to be anyone important. Lem, I'm sure, gave her the title out of pity. Little Ms. Hope fights under a banner of a red phoenix rising on a background of black. I give the banner a four out of ten, because I bet I could do better with it. Her person of honor is some guy named Davien. Never heard of him.. and her second is Shadow? I know him, so I guess that's okay."

DUEL Jesse: "In Smug Sabines corner, which has its own banner as well. The image of a lion on red and black fabric hangs from her corner. I give it a five out of ten, because - like with Hopes - I bet if I had the fabric and the RIGHT to do it, I would have made better. But, like always, no one wants me to do anything. Her second is Salvador "Makes out with doods" Delahada and her person of honor is Ketch Creeley, another guy I don't know."

DUEL Jesse: "I made this up on the spot because writing notes when watching a zebra killed by a croc over and over on my TV took up more time than I thought it would."

Queen: "C'est la vie. We'll do a best of three because people are here to watch a show."

FIRELANDS 1: Hope's low parry can do nothing against the charging fury of Sabine as she comes up high! ( FCP / HC ) 1 Sabine
FIRELANDS 2: At this time I lean close to Hope and whisper like the wind into her ear. Mine tongue brushes across her lobe while I say, "Dismantle the Sabine..". She does so by starting with the legs. ( LC / FLP ) 1-1
FIRELANDS 3: This is why good help is hard to find. Much like how it's hard to find a point for the two of you IF YOU BOTH SWING UP HIGH! ( HC x2 ) 1-1
FIRELANDS 4: Remember what I said about dismantling Sabine? I think Hope is taking it seriously. Cut ABOVE the knee, Hope. That way you can crack it away from the bone easier. ( LC / FSS ) 2-1 Hope
FIRELANDS 5: Who cares? Divine intervention. Sabine wants to cut from a new direction. ( FSS /  LC ) 2-2
FIRELANDS 6: Excuse me while I begin humming my favorite nasheed. ( SH / TH ) 3-2 Hope
FIRELANDS 7: MAIM. KILL. DESTROY. HOPE TAKES BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD THIS ROUND! ( TH / LC ) 4-2 Hope
FIRELANDS 8: Sizing each other up is cool and all but really boring. ( FA Duck / FA Sidestep ) 4-2 Hope
FIRELANDS 9: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! ( HC / TH ) 4-3 Hope
FIRELANDS 10: Sabine's dragging this RIGHT INTO SUDDEN DEATH. And since I know ALL of you love it. :: She grabs a switch from the goblin, after making sure to back hand it, and stabs her finger against the button. A loud, VERY LOUD, screech echoes throughout the Arena. :: ( FCP / FSS ) 4-4
FIRELANDS ...
11: Who am I kidding. I don't like dragging things out. I'm not THAT much of a monster. ( LC x2 ) 4-4
FIRELANDS 12: SOOO CLOSE.. YET SO FAR. ( FLP / SS ) 4-4.5 Sabine
FIRELANDS 13: ........ :: CACKLES. :: ( Slash / CP ) 5-4.5 Hope
FIRELANDS 14: GUESS WHAT
We're back to a tie! ( TH / SS ) 5-5
FIRELANDS 15: AND WE"RE GOING INTO OVERTIME. SHIFT INTO TURBO. ( LC x2 ) 5-5
FIRELANDS FINAL: SABINE SETS UP A WAY TO END THE MATCH! ( TH / SH 

RAGNAROS 1: UP HIGH! Sabine's cutting over Hope's brace! ( SH / HC ) 1 Sabine
RAGNAROS 2: A STEP AND A MISS! Hope's zooming deeper into a hole. ( TH / FSS ) 2 Sabine
RAGNAROS 3: Hope's squatting low and picking it up slow! She's no Jin Chae, but she still can work it! ( FA Duck / FCP ) 1-2 Sabine
RAGNAROS 4: ALL TIED UP! You know, like.. how.. uh.. Sabine wants to be? NAILED IT! ( FLP / TH ) 2-2
RAGNAROS 5: No cutting off legs for anyone! ( LC x2 ) 2-2
RAGNAROS 6: REPLAY OF ROUND ONEEE! ( Stophit / High Cut ) 2-3 Sabine
RAGNAROS 7: They cut at each other because that's what they do. Sabine shaves Hope's leg hair problem, while Hope's shaving some of the hair off Sabine's upper lip. Hair care is important, ladies.

"Green Fire."
"Hope spews dat."
"Throats."
"Sabine cuts dat."
"This fight.."
RAGNAROS 8: NOT done. ( FDU / FSS ) 3-4 Sabine
"Get wrecked."
"I'm not a rapper."
Image

Code: Select all

"SABINE SWINGS."
RAGNAROS 9: PAUSE ( FA CP / LC ) 4-4
"HOPE GETS DAT."

RAGNAROS 10: ONCE AGAIN WE'RE IN SUDDEN DEATH! ( LC / HC ) 5-5
RAGNAROS FINAL: This one ends with a nail biter like the last! HOPE'S MOVING.. but Sabine is chasing! ( FSS / LC )

"SABINE WINS AND IS THE NEW BARON OF.. whatever barony."
Like posted already. Sabine wins in two and is now Renegade to Overlord Claire.
