Raw log Jade vs Flea

Jade arrives at the gym, her bag as bulky as yesterday but not looking as heavy. Once again, she very much wrapped up against the cold. Perhaps that is why Flea is already present. He might not have ever left, except for minor details such as 'hours of operation' and the like. He is already hard at work, so to speak, and does not immediately notice Jade as he shadow boxes against himself. Flea might even be winning. [OOC] Jade says, "how basically did it go yesterday? Since notionally I was watching, at least at first." You say, "Hey looks-like-you've-taken-to-this-place-hm? How's it going?" Jade removes her coat and scarf as she talks. [OOC] Flea says, "We called it. Lots of trading punches with nothing to show for it. Valencia did leave a slight mark on Flea, but that was about it. After a very short time, Flea was sweating and panting, but called and end before it got 'borning.' :)" [OOC] Jade nods       His workout promptly halts as he realizes he's not alone. Flea can't be showing of his moves (or lack thereof) to everyone, afterall. "Hey... yeah, it's not bad." A towel is grabbed and he wipes his face. "Free showers, too." If one ignored his clothes, he does look much more sanitary, even with the sweat. Jade nods, "Always-good say-what's-your-name I-don't-think-you-ever-said."        Flea laughs. "Yeah, ran into that with Valencia, too. We fought before we even knew who we were. I'm Flea." Jade grins. "Do-I-want-to-know-how-you-got-that-name?"        "Cats n' dogs don't like me?" A wry smirk curls his lips. "Picked it up long time ago. They though it'd make me feel littler. So I took it myself just to tick 'em off." Flea's smirk only widens. You say, "Yeah-I-get-that I'm-not-sure-Jade-really-suits-me still-it's-my-real-name." GAME: Save complete.       "Jade..." Flea nods, then quirks a brow. "Why's that suit you so well?" She isn't green, which is the first thing that comes to mind. "Not that it ain't a nice name 'n all..." You say, "Like-I-said-it-doesn't-suit-me-it's-just-my-name blame-my-parents."        "Oh, I gotcha. I can do that. Parents are good for blaming everything on." Flea chuckles. "So, you here to workout and stuff, too?" You say, "That's-the-idea I-don't-get-the-exercise-I-used-to-back-at-school-otherwise."       "Ugh. School." A slight shudder runs through Flea. "Only exercise I ever got from there was in runnin' the other way." His grin returns. Jade smiles. "Why-doesn't-that-surprise-me? so-why-were-you-running-and-where-from-and-where-to?"       Flea laughs. "Guess ya heard about me, huh? Nowhere particular... just wherever I wanted to go." He shrugs as he presumes the reason that she is not surprised. "Usually somewheres my parents-of-the-week didn't want me to go. After enough times, they stopped lookin' so I could always do what I wanted." You say, "And-where-do-you-want-to-go? What-do-you-want-to-do?"       His laugh catches at the question, but he attempts to recover quickly with a grin. "Get up when I want, go where I want. A pile of money with a few pretty girls sitting on it wouldn't be too bad, neither." Flea snaps a wink. "I'm headed there." Jade grins. "Let-me-guess-you've-achieved-the-first-one? say-I-ought-to-get-to-my-workout-while-I-have-the-room-booked you're-welcome-to-join-in-if-you-like."       Another laugh and Flea holds up to fingers. "First two. Cash and girls take a little more than sleepin' in and walkin'..." Her mention of workout pulls him out of his imagined future reverie. "Oh, yeah... go ahead..." He waves a hand to the room. "Not tryin' to hold you up." You say, "You-don't-want-to-join-in it'd=make-a-change-from-a-computer-opponent."       "Oh, sure..." Flea belatedly realizes the details of the invitation. "I thought maybe you meant dancing or something. So what do you normally do?" His recent par has alleviated some of his reluctance for fighting girls on a whim, but then his last partner was also a bendy straw. Jade shrugs. "Varies wouldn't-be-any-fun-if-it-were-always-the-same we-could-have-a-fight-like-you-did-yesterday-if-you-like? You-can-pick-the-setting."  Imaginary Girl has connected. Imaginary Girl has connected. [OOC] Imaginary Girl says, "boo" You say, "Or-we-could-just-have-a-game-of-powers-allowed-basketball-if-you're-not-up-for-it." [OOC] Jade waves.       "Sure, if you want to... Don't wanna hurt you, though..." Flea steps over to the control panel and starts to punch in a few things as he considers the possible ramifications. While he doesn't mind the female companionship at all, there is always the chance, no matter how slight he thinks it is, that he might lose. To a girl. Shortly thereafter, the world would come to an end in paradox. If not, he'd have to hide. You say, "I'll-have-a-force-field-up you're-not-likely-to-injure-me." Jade heads toward the room. "So-what-setting-do-you-want?" Workout Room name has been changed by Flea. [OOC] Flea blahs. No evaluation. Workout Room   IC Training Area              +INFO %TThe wide, vacant asphalt courtyard could be a snapshot of any spot of ubran blight. Net- and rimless basketball backboard at one end, and closed off by faded brick and mortar buildings the the remaining sides. Bits of deteritus here and there, with the only recent markings those of chalk drawings or spray-painted tags.

Characters: Flea                     Imaginary Girl            Jade

Obvious Exits: Out  [OOC] Imaginary Girl says, "use @force me= at the start." [OOC] Jade says, "surprises me. But then this predates the RRP rooms. Maybe an earlier version of the code." With a few more taps and presses, Flea manages to bring up a very unflattering, if not unexpected, picture of urban scenery. "How's that?" He looks up to Jade for her approval. You say, "Huh-you-going-for-the-basketball-then?" Imaginary Girl has disconnected.  Imaginary Girl has disconnected.  Network has connected.  Rapture has connected.  Rapture says, "waves"  Jade waves. GAME: Save complete. You say, "Or-do-you-want-to-go-for-the-fight?" Flea laughs. "Nah... that's just scenery stuff. Just tired of looking at trees. Basketball weren't never my thing, really. When I /COULD/ jump, people stopped playin' with me." You say, "Yeah-you-should-see-some-of-the-people-I-used-to-play-with anyway-here's-fine let's see-what-you've-got!" Jade takes a full recovery. [OOC] Flea will remember to use the end/stun/bod code stuff this time, now that he knows of it. Jade waits for Flea to make a move. [OOC] Jade says, "i.e. holding on Phase 12." Flea says, "Alright..." Flea steps into the 'ring,' as it were and grins. Then implodes, as if he were not short enough already. "Big girls get to go first!" [Game] Activate Shrinking and moving. Jade keeps an eye on Flea, then nods. "If you insist...." Raising her forcefield, she kicks at the shrunken Flea. [Game] Offensive Strike. OCV 10, DCV 13. [OOC] Jade says, "what's your DCV when shrunk?" [OOC] Flea says, "12" [OOC] Jade says, "also, any defensive action?" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 10 and hitting DCV 11 Jade misses by only a hair's breadth. "Not-bad!" [OOC] Flea says, "Me on 12, or assuming he burned it up in last pose?" [OOC] Jade says, "I'm assuming you have a half-move left." [OOC] Jade says, "Jade was just being kind in overextending herself. :)" Flea says, "Almost!" Taking her word that he's not going to send her into next week, Flea sucks back his mass and takes a tiny swing. "My turn."" [Game] 2 HTH CSLs to OCV; Punch. OCV 8 DCV 12 [OOC] Flea says, "DCV 13 is overentending? :P" [OOC] Jade says, "oh yes. :) If fighting smart, she'd have dodged. :D" [OOC] Jade says, "roll it" Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 8 getting 10 and hitting DCV 9 [OOC] Jade says, "post-12, then Phase 2" Jade grins, "Not-fast-enough!" and follows up with another kick.//The same. [OOC] Jade says, "oops" [OOC] Jade says, "any defensive action?" [OOC] Flea says, "No. I think I'm out-actioned enough as it is. :)" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 4 and hitting DCV 17 Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 31 BODY 8  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -7") [OOC] Flea says, "Ow." [OOC] Jade should probably be pulling punches, but it used to fighting opponents tougher than her. You didn't ask where she went to school. :) Flea catches a boot to the head, and never even seems to see the boot. "Ow. That tickles!" You say, "That-wasn't-too-hard-then? Good...." [OOC] Flea does wonder where all the DCs come from? Jade runs an eye over Flea to make sure she didn't hit too hard. [OOC] Flea says, "Oh, the maneuver. Duh." [OOC] Jade says, "3 from STR, 4 from Offensive Strike, 1 DC." [OOC] Flea might actually be potent if/when he could learn some. Flea took more than just a tickle, maybe, but not much [Game] 6 STUN 0 BODY Net [OOC] Jade says, "yeah, that's where you've got it over me. I can't hurt you. :P" [OOC] Jade says, "phase 3" [OOC] Flea says, "And you most certainly go first. :)" Jade decides to keep up the offensive, since Flea is only "tickled". She swing round in a full circle and kicks again! [Game] and again Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 11 and hitting DCV 10 Jade fails to connect this time though. Flea blinks again, but his stature saves him when he can't duck. He watches the quick one and tries to swing again [Game] SAme same. Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 8 getting 10 and hitting DCV 9 Flea misses, again. Darn fast girl. [OOC] Jade says, "phase 5" Jade just keeps on coming, unrelentingly. She doesn't even seem to be raising a sweat, either. [Game] and again Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 12 and hitting DCV 9 Jade misses once more - but is kicking again in no time. [OOC] Jade says, "phase 6" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 7 and hitting DCV 14 Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 25 BODY 7  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -4") Flea is again tickled. "Hold still!" This time, his hand is unballed as he reaches out. [Game] 3 STUN that time; Grab. OCV 7 DCV 10 Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 12 and hitting DCV 6 Flea is still, well, slow. Jade giggles, "Why would I do that?" Once more, she kicks. [OOC] Jade says, "Phase 8" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 15 and hitting DCV 6 Jade misses by miles this time, anyway - but kicks again. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 12 and hitting DCV 9 Jade seems to be losing her touch. [OOC] Jade says, "your 9" [OOC] Flea swapped dice when you weren't looking? Jade grins. "Hey-you're-pretty-good hard-to-hit-and-hard-to-hurt rare-combination." [OOC] Jade says, "heh. In RL my bad luck on dice is legendary." Flea goes back to old-fashioned knuckle sandwiches. "Thanks... Mind sittin' still?" [Game] Punch again. Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 8 getting 11 and hitting DCV 8 [OOC] Flea facepalms and thinks he needs a 4- to even come close to you. You say, "Yeah-I-do-the-whole-world-moves-to-slow-for-me-you-may-have-noticed?" [OOC] Jade says, "yeah, but if you do I'm probably out of the fight. :P" [OOC] Flea nods. "Sounds like a very classic Speed vs STR matchup. :)" Jade kicks again, wondering how long this will go. [OOC] Jade says, "on 11" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 10 and hitting DCV 11 [OOC] Jade says, "I forget - are you 11 or 12?" [OOC] Flea is 3,6,9,12. I tend to aim for Speed 4 or 6 as they are easy. [OOC] Jade says, "I meant DCV. 12. right?" [OOC] Flea ohs. Yes. Sorry [OOC] Flea should try and go back to note that in +stats. [OOC] Jade says, "SPD 7's the only tricky one. 2 4 6 7 9 11 12." [OOC] Jade says, "Well actually, 1 is." [OOC] Flea says, "And if a supervillain ever acts on 1... you should probably run away." Jade misses again, just. [OOC] Jade says, "he probably just held his action." [OOC] Jade says, "I wonder if Jade will ever be SPD 12... I can't imagne I'd do it on less than 150 XP, the way the balance rules work." Jade again follows up awith another kick immediately.       It must be the spiky hair, since it makes Flea appear just a little taller. "Gettin tired yet?" Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 12 and hitting DCV 9 Jade misses. "No how-about-you?" [OOC] Jade says, "heh. I got this right about Jade. SPD 8. STR END cost 1. REC 8. SHe can do a standing fight all day." Flea is not especially creative, nor trained, by the look of his swings. They are sloppy, even if his target wasn't so blasted quick. "Do this all night!" The slight pant says otherwise. [OOC] Flea says, "Nice. I burn 35 END / turn with a punch and DI. :(" [OOC] Jade says, "Oh it I push I'm out in 3 Segments. :)" [OOC] Jade says, "if I push, rather. :)" [OOC] Flea ers. 40/ turn. I can't add. Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 8 getting 12 and hitting DCV 7 [OOC] Jade says, "Basically, I reckon I can push once and only once in an extended fight." Jade takes a recovery. [OOC] Flea needs to do something about that. Flea takes a recovery. Jade keeps at it. "You're-harder-to-hit-than-anyone-I've-tangled-with-since-I-moved-here." Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 11 and hitting DCV 10 Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 9 and hitting DCV 12 Jade connects with the second kick this time. Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 30 BODY 10  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -7") Flea says, "Thanks..." Flea catches another blow, though, again, it might just sting some. "Ya hit harder 'n what I've seen." [Game] 6 Stun again. Grab this time. OCV 7 (haha) DCV 10 [OOC] Jade says, "Oh dear. I see you have two different END and STUN levels. The code doesn't really allow for that. Also, did you get your full REC?" [OOC] Jade says, "I just raised that issue with Ayesha the other day." [OOC] Flea did not, but is technically negative by the code, too. I should be at...30 after this action. 10/phase, 4 phases/turn Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 14 and hitting DCV 4 [OOC] Flea thinks he should swap dice back. :) Jade goes for two more kicks. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 12 and hitting DCV 9 Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 11 and hitting DCV 10 Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 23 BODY 7  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -4") [OOC] Flea does like the MA take on Jade, rather than the 'Move X' maneuver use. Jade again connects on the second, if not very hard. [OOC] Jade says, "what do you mean?" [OOC] Flea is used to the speedy folks using high movement and Move By for DCs.  Rapture has disconnected.  Rapture has connected. [OOC] Jade says, "Ah yes. Not the concept. Jade is someone who *thinks* fast. Highly intelligent, amazingly reflexes. Not much else." [OOC] Flea ahs and nods. [OOC] Flea also forgets where we were/are. [OOC] Jade says, "I just hit you. Phase 6." GAME: Save complete. [OOC] Jade says, "so your turn. :)" Flea, even small, is subject to the mere quantity Jade offers. She's going to catch him sometime, and has on several. He again attempts to do the same. If she'll sit still long enough. Or he gets lucky. [Game] 2 STUN. Grab again Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 17 and hitting DCV 1 [OOC] Flea laughs! [OOC] Flea misses Jade... and her hex. Jade is behind Flea at the end of his lunge, giggling. Jade follows up - surprise surprise- with another couple of kicks. [OOC] Flea thinks Jade must hate AoEs. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 8 and hitting DCV 13 Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 12 and hitting DCV 9 Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 30 BODY 8  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -6") Jade connects only the first time this time. [OOC] Jade says, "Very much. Mostly she's not a fighter, in her mind." Flea is tagged again, and even the profuse sweating won't make the kick slide off. He remains far tougher than he looks, absorbing the blow without much more than a bruise. He whirls and swings, saving his breath for his tiring arm. [Game] Punch this time. [OOC] Jade says, "roll it." Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 11 and hitting DCV 7 Jade once again is too quick and returns a couple of kicks. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 13 and hitting DCV 8 Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 11 and hitting DCV 10 Jade fails to connect, however. [OOC] Flea says, "On 12, now?" [OOC] Jade says, "yep" Flea is now rather wobbly, though not appearing to be from any impacts. Her dancing around is probably making him dizzy, too. He reaches out in a semi-desperate grab for her. He's got to redeem himself, somehow... [Game] Grab Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 6 and hitting DCV 12 [OOC] Jade says, "so close!" [OOC] Flea was scrolling back to find the kick maneuver mods. Darn. :) You say, "You're-learning! I'll-have-to-watch-out!" Jade takes a recovery. [OOC] Jade says, "post-12, then 2." Flea takes a recovery. [OOC] Flea nods. My END is now actually accurate. :) Jade goes for another kick, this time not immediately followed up. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 9 and hitting DCV 12 Jade rolls 8D6 using 3D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 30 BODY 9  KNOCKBACK (Raw: -9") [OOC] Jade says, "holding my 3" Flea is not one to give up, admit defeat, or anything of the sort. Slightly less wobbling after a second wind, he takes the slight pause as perhaps she's tiring. He hopes. Again he lunges for her ankle, as if his 'getting better' and her 'weariness' might help. [Game]  Grab again. [OOC] Flea says, "DI also deactivates this segment." [OOC] Jade says, "dodging" [OOC] Jade says, "dcv 17 :P" [OOC] Flea says, "Or is that next? Can't remember effects of 0 END." Flea rolls 3D6 with OCV of 7 getting 8 and hitting DCV 10 [OOC] Jade says, "when you go below 0 END you start spending STUN for END, at 1d6 per 2 END." [OOC] Flea thinks that he needed a 3, if he could even hit. [OOC] Jade says, "That's sort of the idea." [OOC] Jade says, "5" Jade kicks back again. Jade rolls 3D6 with OCV of 10 getting 9 and hitting DCV 12 Jade rolls 8D6 using 2D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 34 BODY 11  KNOCKBACK 8" [OOC] Jade says, "oops" Jade rolls 1D6 and gets 2 = 2 [OOC] Jade says, "only 6" KB" [OOC] Jade says, "I don't know if you have any mods to that." [OOC] Flea has -1" net... but his DI is dropping due to lack of END, so it at +9" I think I'm punted. :) [OOC] Jade says, "you probably hit a wall then, given the setting?" [OOC] Flea nods. [OOC] Jade says, "Hm. Call it 8d6 for before the old walls break?" [OOC] Flea thinks, with most of his defenses fading, that he will be KO'd by hitting the wall. Lost all the extra stun/PD/DR/etc :) [OOC] Jade says, "oh, right." Jade rolls 8D6 using 2D6 Knockback getting Damage: STUN 27 BODY 7  KNOCKBACK 2" Jade rolls 3D6 with PARAMEDICS of 17- getting 11 which MAKES by 6 [OOC] Jade says, "You'll come round to Jade give you first aid, rather well. :)"       Something's changed, apparently, as Flea's prior intertia is gone. Like the action figure he resembles, the boy going flying at the kick and into the wall. Bouncing off, he *sproings* back to full size not of his own accord and lands in a heap. [OOC] Flea's ego, were it conscious, would suggest CPR. Alas, it cannot. Jade is running over as soon as she sees what's gone wrong. She grabs her bag for her first aid kit and attents to Flea before the dust settles. [OOC] Jade says, "he wishes. :P"        He might have cracked a rib, or badly bruised it, but other than that, Flea is mostly just stunned. With a groan, he reawakens at the attention, blinking. He looks up at Jade and manages a weak grin. "Hi... and ow." [OOC] Flea thinks 2-3 Body might have slipped through. Jade apologises the moment Flea comes to. "I'm-sorry-I-hadn't-realised-you-had-lost-your-defences!" [OOC] Jade says, "It's already properly bandaged, then. :)" You say, "You-seem-so-impervious-to-damage-I-had-no-idea-there-was-any-risk!" The good part is that Jade is bending over Flea in her ministrations. You have voted for Flea.       Which could explain the growing grin on his face, and why he's not immediately meeting her gaze. "S'ok... can't hold it forever..." You say, "You-should-have-told-me I-wouldn't-have-kicked-so-hard we-should-get-you-to-a-doctor-or-better-a-meta-with-healing-abilities...." [OOC] Jade says, "I should go soon so I can finish Network's review before I go to bed." Flea finally looks to her eyes and struggles to sit up. "I'm..uhn... fine." He winces, despite attempts to avoid it. "I'll be Ok.." [OOC] Flea nods and needs to deal with dinner. "Thank you for the RP and combat refresher. :)" Jade nods. "Yes-I'm-sure-you-will-but-still-you've-a-broken-rib." [OOC] Jade says, "Hope you had fun. Not the most varied combat, but still." [OOC] Flea nods. [OOC] Jade says, "and yes, thanks for the RP." "I guess I could just sit a bit more..." Flea can at least enjoy the view after being punted. Maybe sparring with girls isn't ALL bad.. [OOC] Jade says, "Don't forget to +vote - I say that in the general case, not meaning you should +vote for me necessarily. :)" [OOC] Jade says, "Which shows I'd do badly in politics. :"  Joy has connected. Jade smiles - mostly because of how transparent Flea is. Still, it's the least she can do to let him look, really, under the circumstances.
