"Place to be naked" [Closed]

[Arkady Awren]

Arkady was happy to see that Elmira was ready to go in again. This time with a bit more enthusiasm! Arkady bowed after she had to prevent concussions in case of someone bowing a bit too hard.

She opened up with a high kick, which meant she was going for pretty flexible this time around. Arkady was expecting her to do something exhibiting flexibility, but a kick to the chest so soon?

Arkady would have to do a limbo pose to displace his chest and push the kick back with his right hand towards her own face. With his left hand he'd put two knuckles under her knee to infuse pain making life easier for him. This would truly demonstrate her own flexibilty and balance. If she stayed up and was able to counter she was already the perfect acrobat. If she fell down she had some work to do!

"Always expect the unexpected!"

[Elmira Medina]

Elmira watched as her own foot was pushed back toward her face. She was able to hold it back enough so it did not actually hit her, as that would be even more embarrassing than losing a sparring match to a kid four years younger than her, but she did feel some pain beneath her knees, indeed causing her to fall back. Well, he didn't exactly give me a blow to the face, she thought. It was more like I almost gave myself a blow to the face. Lame.

However, with a slight bit of fortune, she managed to catch herself with two hands behind her, her back arching like a bridge for a couple of seconds before bringing both of her feet with her movements into what might appear as part back handspring, part tumble, and part two-really-long-legs-stretched-out-to-kick-somebody. Since they were both being swept upward, the impact was again likely to be at his upper body, unless he dodged both of her feet in succession, which was possible if he took his own advice.

"Heh heh," she chuckled nervously with flushed cheeks as she quickly pulled herself upright, not wanting to leave herself vulnerable again. "I guess it wouldn't be unexpected if you expect it, huh?"

[Arkady Awren]

"I guess it wouldn't be unexpected if you expect it, huh?"

Well, that was a common smart ass thing to say and it was only partially true. He was being attacked again and this time her head was really in the game. She was improving on her style and flashiness. The flashiness was only a plus on ego when it came to Arkady, so she had earned some well deserved Kudos from him.

A backwards tumble would be much easier to dodge than a direct punch because the attack was going away from him. So he took a grounding step back and dashed forward as she was straightening herself out. His fist would be ready to deliver a steady blow to her gut as it would be the easiest and safest thing to hit. He was going after her to provoke some spark of rage and possibly get her to actually think in a unique fashion.

"Touche, I spoke of the unexpected as the general expectation of normal people though."

[Elmira Medina]

He was sending a fist toward her gut. Ack, and it landed! At least she was able to see it as the action was happening, and though the hit connected, the realization of the move coming toward her was enough to almost instinctively lean her torso back, creating the shape of the letter C, or perhaps better described as a lesser than sign, with the jolty and pointed way in which she attempted to dodge. Even though Arkady did not miss, Elmira's reaction saved her some pain, and for that she gave herself some points. Hmm. Am I actually improving? she wondered. Or was I just not trying very hard before?

Without even momentarily tending to the blow to her mid-section, she clasped her hands together, fingers laced and overlapped, and lifted her arms up, only to swiftly bring them down, aiming toward her opponent's head like a hammer smacking a nail down.

"Aren't I lucky that you're not a normal person, then?"

[Arkady Awren]

Well he got the blow to hit surprisingly, but Elmira's reaction saved her from most of the actual damage. It would have at least knocked the air out of her if it was allowed through so Arkady gave her some kudos for style. Her flexibility just about matched Arkady's though he didn't use his flexibility to dodge, he trained it to be more elastic in a fight to quickly counter.

"What an improvement! That or you weren't trying last time..."

Still in his striking position, Arkady now had to find a way to avoid or even counter a laced fist smashing down on him. His left hand was still ready to strike and he had the chance to strike at her jaw since the fight was intimate enough for him to do so. The only problem would be if Elmira would count that as a face hit, which happened to be against the rules.

It would be a reflex though and that would be how he wanted it to be. He wasn't using his legs a lot, but he was in a situation where kicks would be useless. He had to take this moment, this chance to take down his opponent and with the current set up that she had given him... It was too good to resist.

With the combined power of her entire body coming down in one concentrated blow on Arkady he'd thrust his left hand up to where her jaw would meet his palm resulting in a mad hurting. If it didn't knock her out instantly she must've dodged it somehow, but that was highly improbable. Either way, it'd prevent him from a good bonk on the head. Under the chin wouldn't count as a face hit would it?

"You're ripe..."

[Elmira Medina]

Had Elmira not launched her most recent attack in the downward fist manner, this may have worked out better. Arkady had sent his palm right into her jaw, which would have been easier to dodge if she didn't happen to be leaning into the slam on his head. She was a tall girl, and in any other circumstances, she would have been able to jolt back quickly or jump up out of reach, but at this moment, gravity was pulling her downwards, sending her sinking in the perfect set up for her opponent. Her eyes widened, as she was again able to see this coming, but there was not much she could do while in motion. One of Newton's Laws- an object in motion stays in motion, therefore a big blonde chick in motion stays in motion.

Elmira flew back upon impact, and unfortunately, the larger they are, the harder they fall. She barely caught herself by sending her elbows behind her for support, her forearms skidding against the floor and receiving severe rug burn. Or mat burn, she thought, thankful again that the floor was padded.

A cold glare hardened her eyes, aimed at Arkady. She stood up and dusted herself off, ignoring the pain, and probably the fact that there was not much dust around to actually remove from her body. "No face hits, hm?" she spat through her teeth, which had ironically chattered together when he hit her chin and still hurt. "See this?" she asked as she pointed a finger at her cheek. "This is my face. This whole thing--" she waved a hand in a circular motion from her forehead to her neck "--is my face. Do you get to break the rules just because it's convenient or funny? Is that how it works?" It was obvious she was angry, and fighting in anger was what she was accustomed to, but in such scenarios, she didn't fight fair or clean. She fought as dirty as she pleased.

Elmira walked toward him slowly, staring him down. Then, to break the silence, she jammed a foot between his legs, aiming for what she assumed would be one of his weak spots. "Asshole."

[Arkady Awren]

Arkady's eyes locked with hers and he froze in place, completely paralyzed by her fear inspiring glare. She stood, approached and began talking, but Arkady was so frozen in fear that he's ears had gone into somewhat of a feeble position except for ears!

"Blah blah face... Blah blah rules... Blah blah works..."

Arkady's bottom lip began to shutter as the intimidation became more and more petrifying. She drew her leg back and let go of the cannons that were aiming point blank at his children.

*BAM!!!*

Arkady was sent flying into the air and back down spiraling as the foot met it's mark. He coughed up a bit of blood and crashed to the ground with a low moan. He grasped his pride, still on the ground, and began spinning as if trying to break dance.

"I don't bruise... My palms are too soft... Like bag of oranges... Oooooooo... I need these things for later!"

*Gurgle gurgle*

[Elmira Medina]

Elmira snorted in amusement and surprise. The first hit she managed to land happened to be a kick to the balls. It seemed a bit pathetic, but apparently it got the job done. Besides, crotch kicking was not actually against the initial rules; she just assumed it was not nice, therefore not part of what was supposed to be a friendly spar. When she noticed the blood coming out of his mouth, though, she had the urge to feel guilty. After all, she had no idea what it felt like, nor could she ever, and she certainly didn't know you could harm one place and have blood come out of another. She was far from an anatomy expert. Yet she pushed the notion aside. There would be no pity for the time being.

"Oranges?" she blurted, shaking her head. "Did you lose some brain cells? I kicked your nuts, not your head." She moved toward him again, the fierce glare still dancing in her eyes as she watched him sprin. Her temper was often hard to control, but despite her expression, her body language remained casual. "It's a good sign that you did get hurt, though. Might say something about your manhood if it didn't. You know, the bigger they are, the more they hurt." She slid her fingers into Arkady's hair, grasping onto the back of his head near the scalp and applying a moderate amount of pressure-- not enough to cause pain, but to suggest dominance. "Would you like to give in, or shall we continue, now that the rules are no longer in play?"

[Arkady Awren]

Currently in the situation that he was in, he was in no mood or state to continue fight. As much as he had the urge to continue, Arkady couldn't risk opening up his already tearing wound. Neither did he have the amount of blood required to continue in such a state.

"It's a good sign that you did get hurt, though. Might say something about your manhood if it didn't. You know, the bigger they are, the more they hurt."

Ouch, that was actually pretty hot. She was trying to flirt with him right? Arkady knew flirting when it occurred it wasn't usually in his direction. He would have to agree with him being a sexy beast, but wasn't that the point of fighting? To prove how massive one's genitalia may be no matter what gender.

"Would you like to give in, or shall we continue, now that the rules are no longer in play?"

He was incapacitated and she was getting cocky... Since we're on the topic of genitalia... She was missing the point of the spar, to get better at what you do so well. Not to rub it in the guy you just neutered's face. She was pretty good at that though.

"Well, I'm incapacitated, and bleeding while you aren't going to have any sight of bruising. MY hands are too soft, unlike your foot to said humongous nuts... You're going to stay pretty in the face, while my face is going to be grim forever thanks to you. Although you flirting is quite awesome in my case, I think it may counteract the grim truth that is the temporary loss of my children."

[Elmira Medina]

Elmira blinked blankly. This guy was using a lot of big words. Big words weren't exactly her thing. However, she got the idea that he wasn't interested in fighting anymore, which was pretty expected. And he mentioned her flirting with him. Huh? "Umm... you're like, twelve or something. I'm not hitting on you. You're like jailbait." She was obviously exaggerating when she called him twelve years old; he wouldn't be going to her high school if he was actually that age. "And I know you said to expect the unexpected, but really, don't expect a girl to want to get with you right after she kicks you in the nuts."

She removed her hand from his head, seeing it was no longer necessary. "If you ever see me around this gym again and want to spar by the rules, just let me know. Wear a cup if you're planning on breaking them." With that, she left the room and made her way to the women's locker room.

[Exit Elmira]

[Arkady Awren]

As Elmira left Arkady began to stand relying heavily on his arms, trying to keep his legs open to air things out. He wiped the blood from his mouth onto his robes and sneered to Elmira as sight of her was lost through the door way. Arkady then pulled out a scroll from his robes and sat down cross legged.

"Right... Maybe next time we should use some kind of weaponry..."

From the matting next to him he pulled a hair. He raised it to the light, observing it... Nope, not blue! He rolled out the scroll and placed the hair inside, rolling it up once again.

"Elmira can play nice with rules, but without? We'll see next time, I just hope for a wound on the opposite side..."

With that he labeled the scroll "Ellie" and tucked it into his robes. He stood and took off his outer robe to hide the blood on his way home. Nothing attracted gangsters like a bloody kid in a blinding white robe...
