WAOA Arena

[Random berk]

"REally? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised." Ragnar said with a pained expression. "Perhaps it is for the best that they are here then. Thunderwolves are fierce and powerful creatures, but it is far from the best way for a warrior to end his life all the same."

 

[Chungus]

"It's a her, actually." Solaris corrected, shaking her head lightly. After taking another sip of her drink, she looked back to Ragnar. "It's the woman with brown hair, worn in a ponytail. I don't know her name. But... I've seen her fight. The expression she had on her face, then, that wasn't the expression of a mentally stable human. Especially as she wore this expression while... it looked like her attempting to pull someone's internal organs out. I couldn't watch it closely."
[hr]
Malcor was successful at clawing at Eddie's knee, sending him falling down to his side with a pained scream, hitting the ground on his side. As Eddie held the blade of the axe close to Malcor's throat, however, it might be unintentionally be cut as Eddie fell. Wherther this was the case or not, Eddie would lay on the floor, and gag as he fought the urge to vomit.

 

[FPSfanatic]

The blade cut thinly, leaving a trail of blood leaking from his neck. Malcor grunted in pain, and stood, moving to recollect his bow.

 

[Random berk]

"Kenna?" Ragnar exclaimed in shock. "The girl from Terra? I... I spoke to her. She seemed to be in complete control of herself. A pleasure to speak to, in fact. I would never have suspected..."

 

[Chungus]

Yes. This is the kind of reactions I want to see. Solaris thought. Although she kept herself in check well enough, her expression remaining largely neutral, Pix would feel Solaris' heartrate increase slightly. "From what I could pick up on a conversation she had, she has limited control, and in that moment, the beast side of her took over. Maybe it has something to do with being in battle. I don't know..." She commented, then sighed slightly. "I hope for her sake that isn't the case. A arena isn't the place to be with such a condition." After drinking the remainder of her drink, Solaris set the glass down on the table, and looked back to Ragnar. "Anyway... You mentioned these Thunderwolves are often given the mercy killing? There is no cure for their condition, then?"
[hr]
As Malcor moved away to retrieve his bow, Eddie rose to his feet as well, his face looking greenish and sickly, and took his guitar from his back again, leaving his axe laying on the ground. He didn't stand formly on his feet, due to the talons having been driven into a knee, thus placing his weight almost entirely on his good leg.

Looking to Malcor, Eddie played another quick chord that would produce a lightning bolt, hoping to stun Malcor.

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar shook his head.
"No. If a neophyte succumbs to the curse of the Wulfen, then they are lost, and will remain animals for the remainder of their existence."

 

[Chungus]

"I see... what a tragic fate." Solaris commented, shaking her head slightly. "Why would anyone risk becoming one of these beasts? I understand wanting to protect humanity, but surely there are better ways to do so then to expose onesels to this... Geneseed?"

 

[FPSfanatic]

Malcor had just reached the bow when the lightning hit him. He collapsed, falling to the ground, and groaned. He gripped the bow, his knuckles whitening. He rolled on his back, and looked at Eddie's green face. "You're gonna want to vomit now."
So saying, Eddie would again feel the need to vomit. If he did so, he'd actually feel much better as most of the disease would leave with the bile.

 

[Random berk]

"It is just the way of things. An ancient tradition to weed out the weak from the strong. Most of the rites of the Space Wolves are intended to do this. It is why we are the strongest of all the Emperor's servants."

 

[Chungus]

"I see... I must confess, it strikes me as an odd policy, to throw human lives away like that. But that's a cultural difference, I suppose." Solaris commented, the smiled slightly.
[hr]
Already having been fighting thee urge to throw up, Eddie couldn't hold it back any longer. Dropping his guitar, and leaning forward on his good leg, resting a hand on the knee, Eddie vomited violently, breathing heavily after this. "Oh man..." He said to himself in-between haggard breaths. Feeling better after vomiting, however, Eddie chuckled weakly. "Well, whadda ya know... Looks like the sick passed." He said, looking back up to Malcor. "So, you give up now?"

 

[Random berk]

"Well, we have our reasons. The power of the Space Marines does not come without sacrifice."

OOC: It's too late for me to post again. Time bubble or end the conversation as you wish, but I must sleep now.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Because I do not have any desire for it."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Malcor smiled, and held out his free hand. "I did say so, didn't I? You fought well, my good man. I concede."

 

[Chungus]

Solaris, not having much reason to continue the conversation now that she did what she set out to do, opened her mouth as to speak, but then moved a hand infront of her mouth and yawned. "Oh... Excuse me. I'm a bit tired... If you don't mind, I'd like to get some rest now." She said as she stood up somewhat sluggishly, and stretched her arms.

After Ragnar left, Solaris would wait until the sound of his heavy footsteps faded away, then looked down to Pix and chuckled. "Well now, I think that went rather well." She commented with something of a satisfied tone in her voice.
[hr]
Blowing a small sigh, Eddie rose to his height, and stumbled over to Malcor, shaking his hand. "You too, dude. I don't know what you did to make me feel sick like that, but that a pretty neat move, there." He complimented in turn.

 

[DotSlash]

Pix flowed off of Solaris and reformed, already having a hand on her own gooey chin. [color=80bb00] "Yeah, well enough... Shame you couldn't convince him to do all the heavy lifting for you.. but still, an ally-ish person is an ally-ish person." [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

"And I think I might tell you, in privacy. Not here though, where anycan listen to the monitors." he said in a friendly manner. He collected his bow, and moved to exit the arena.

 

[Chungus]

"Ally?" Solaris question as she moved to the bed and sat down on in, looking to Pix. "I think you mean pawn. And give it time. He'll be left with no choice but to see things my way after dozen times of killing someone with them just coming right back. I've said what I needed to say for the moment. Time can take care of the rest for now. In the mean time, I'll see about keeping the fires going elsewhere. It won't do us much good if everyone starts to get along." She commented, a smile on her face.
[hr]
Eddie nodded, and went to pick up his axe and guitar, hanging the two of them on his back as he was declared the victor, and the arena reset back to its default form. He waited until the paramedics came and fixed up his knee, bending his leg a few times when they were done, then followed after Malcor. "Wouldn't really suprise me if they've got tons of info on you already, though." He commented

 

[DotSlash]

[color=80bb00] "Thus why I added the '-ish' ending to what I had said." [/color] Pix said, looking to Solaris with a small smirk. She looked toward the ceiling as she thought aloud for the moment. [color=80bb00] "Still, I'm... not fully comfortable with depending on him turning just yet. He seems like every other I've seen, head shoved firmly up the ass of his leaders and their beliefs and too deep in to pull out. One wrong thing said to that meattank and things take a massive turn for the worse..." [/color]

She sighed a bit before looking back to Solaris. [color=80bb00] "But... we'll see. I'll trust you've got the right read for now." [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

Malcor shrugged. "They might. Best not to give them any rope to hang myself with though." with that, he left to his room.

 

[Chungus]

"Yes. And that is precisely why he'll be doing our work for us. All I have to do is play on those believes and watch our good knight "purge the heretics."" Lust responded with a light chuckle. "I do love the religious types... They make such a thing about following some doctrine, they can hardly think for themselves. Which is so easy to exploit..." As Pix looked back to her, Solaris smiled darkly. "Trust me... I've done this before."
[hr]
"I'll give ya that." Eddie responded as he followed after Malcor. "Guys said they've got camera and mics pretty much all over the place, though. But I've got a solution to that the listening in proble." He said, tapping the neck of his guitar. "Hope ou don't mind talking over some heavy metal."
