CARNIVAL CORPSE

[avibusraris]

That's right everyone, it's time for the Carnival Corpse! What does that mean? Well, gather around the holographic campfire of as we tell the tales of the Carnival Corpse. The event will go as follows!

All the inmates who are not deadmen will still be able to watch everything! We used to have it totally hush hush here in the prison, but hey- where's the fun in that? We have nothing to hide at all! And what'dya know, we actually get tons of sponsors for these sorts of shows from rich old men! Ha ha oh they're quite the riot. So! That means the ones who bid against these losers will be able to watch the show as well.

As for those participating? It's simple! Just attack the other one until they're dead or just knocked out- but hey we prefer the dead route, that's way more fun don't you think?

On with the show!

Fetch didn't make so much as a sound as she was lead into the ring. This was something too big for her to fight alone, so all she could do was keep her word and not kill anyone. When she saw Shotaro, he earned himself a lopsided smile. It seemed much more unsure than her usual grins, and she seemed relieved to see him. If she had to fight anyone, she was kind of glad it was him.

"Y'know, my policy is the same, but you're pretty tough for a little girl, right?" She'd gained enough of her spunk back to throw some taunts his way, at least.

[tanteiotaku]

"Hey!" he shouted indignantly back over at her. "I hope you're not squeamish," he added. He looked down at his footless leg and from the end of the stump came a red round shape, that hardened when it reached the floor. He kept the crutch in hand as he tested it a little. Balance was okay. And a couple of test steps were sore but not incredibly painful. He walked a bit like a pirate but at least he didn't need the crutch. He let it fall over onto the ground.

He looked back up toward Fetch when he was satisfied. "Ladies first!"

[sentimentalpsycho]

Shotaro's scolding made her feel a little more at home, if that was even possible considering where they were and what was about to happen. She didn't have a chance to respond before he was already doing... well, whatever the hell that was, but she hardly felt squeamish because of it.

"Damn," she grinned, even looking impressed, "that was almost kinda cool, Sherlock Holmes."

She put herself in a fighting stance, but the grin on her face didn't fade. Win or lose, at least she'd get a challenge out of this thing. She took off at a speed way above what could be normal, and took a swing in Shotaro's direction. Connecting that hit wasn't her plan -- she wanted to see just how quick his reflexes where.

[tanteiotaku]

Grinning right back at her comment, he was ready for her to come at him. He slid his foot back to brace himself and catch that swing. He pulled her over to one side of him and jerked his knee up into her gut.

[sentimentalpsycho]

Fetch doubled over at the impact, but she knew she couldn't afford to keep her head down. Despite the hit she let out a small laugh. She'd had a feeling he would be able to back up his talk -- at least for a while.

She wasn't one known to be the type to play fair, sadly for Shotaro, so she went in to stomp on his functioning foot.

[tanteiotaku]

At least she wasn't wearing high-heel pumps. "Is that how we're going to play today?" he said, jogging backward a bit. He lost his footing a bit and the stump he'd made skidded on the floor. He caught himself with one hand on the floor, the stump leg stretched out to one side.

Well, since he's down there, he may as well make use of it. He swung it out and around to try to knock her off her feet.

[sentimentalpsycho]

"This is how I always play, baby." She honestly seemed to be getting a serious thrill out of the whole thing. It wasn't so much the fighting, not really. It was the freedom of using her powers without fear for the first time in years. It was invigorating in a way she had almost forgotten.

"Woops," she teased, making an easy dodge. His position was perfect for exploiting, so that was exactly what she was going to do with it. It was all a part of the rush anyway. She pushed him closer to the floor before taking a seat on top of his chest, leaning in to whisper close to his face.

"We havin' fun yet?"

[tanteiotaku]

Even if she had him pinned on the ground, he grinned. "With a girl like you? Always." He was fairly content to remain here for a moment. She was beautiful, after all. But he did have his guard up for her next move.

[sentimentalpsycho]

"Oh?" She was slowly inching closer, her face mere inches from his. "And what kind of girl do you think I am?"

She stopped, but only to put her finger against his lips.

"I changed my mind. Don't tell me. Show me." She tilted her head ever so slightly and leaned her body against his, locking him in a kiss. She hadn't expected much out of it, but she found it pleasant, lingering on his lips perhaps just a bit longer than she should have.

Eventually she had to take the shot, though. She didn't know how hard that fake foot of his was, but they were both one swift kick from finding out. She was really starting to hope he didn't take it personal.

[tanteiotaku]

He really had been about to answer that but stopped when she brought her finger down. While he did have his wits about him, they kind of vacated when he realized just what she was going to do. Did do. And so that happened. He made out a little with a woman in front of... however many people were watching this thing. Awesome.

But that kick to his stump brought him back to Earth. He brought his arms and his other leg up to shove her off of him. "Ah, dammit!" Okay that really ached. But he had to get back on his feet again, no matter what. "Is that part of how you always play too?"

[sentimentalpsycho]

She rolled to the ground, but was quick to get on her feet again. Hitting that thing had actually hurt more than she'd expected, but there wasn't any time to think about that. Actually, she was on such an adrenaline rush that she forgot about it pretty quickly. At Shotaro's question, she just smirked and shrugged her shoulders.

"Sorry. You're not too bad of a kisser though." She winked playfully before getting back into the fray with another attempted punch. She still wanted that foot out of commission, so if she got the chance she'd try to fake him out with the punch and aim another kick instead.

[tanteiotaku]

He knew she'd be going for that leg again. It was a bona-fide weak spot. Aside from kissing him, anyway. He put it behind him, and put most of his weight on his good foot. He wasn't going to get fooled twice. He pulled her punching arm past him and hooked his forearm around her elbow. Effectively pulling her back against his chest. "Shall we tango?"

It was only a beat before he used that foot stump to try to sweep a leg out from under her and twist an arm behind her back.

[sentimentalpsycho]

The problem with weak spots is that although they're debilitating if hit properly, the person who possesses said weakness is likely already aware of where they need to guard themselves. Maybe she should have held that kiss a little longer after all.

"Only if it's dirty dancing." Fetch couldn't hold back a return remark and was about to smirk, but it seemed he'd managed to distract her, and now he had her in a pretty compromising position. "Shit!"

She hadn't accounted for this kind of thing. Usually she was too fast for anyone to catch her in this kind of situation. She cursed again under her breath.
