Video: Battle of Wills! Or translation: Battle of the idiots

[glitchinthesystem]

ahh . . . Hello from Heropa!

I'd like to announce a match. Ikki Minami, Storm King, Sky King and King of the Universe, against Glitch—Emperor of All, Slayer of Evil things, and Five Time Winner of Team Asskicking.

Team Kogarasumaru vs. Team . . . Instinct?

—anyway! Match style is one on one, all abilities allowed. Victory is by surrender or inability to continue, and . . . on the line is . . . a single deluxe hotdog. And a large cola! To be served by the defeated on their knees.

That's everything, isn't it?

[ The video feed that opens up on the network swoops down for a panoramic view of the city and Heropa skyline and then narrows in on what seems to be a fight in progress. The boy with the attitude and broody looking eyes, killer of a dragon and local shit disturber, Glitch and across from him, the failed diplomat, GameMaster and overall airborne nuisance, Ikki Minami cracks his knuckles as the dust settles around them.

When the camera gets close, the bird variety of punk waves it even closer. ]

ONE DAY ONLY! GRAND NOODLE BEATDOWN, UDON ON SALE IN ALL CITIES AFTER. PLACE YOUR BETS HE-YYYYOW!!.

[ Mid delivery of this ridiculous line, Glitch had taken this opportunity to walk on over and just give Ikki’s butt a good, firm squeeze. Why? Because he’s getting impatient.

Red faced, Ikki whirls around into a shrill shout and punch technique. ] NO HOMO RETRIBUTION ROUNDHOUSE 360!!!

[ The screaming of one’s technique is just enough information for Glitch to duck right under that and flip back. A smug smirk on his face as he wipes a thumb across his nose.]

All of the Homo, asshole! You should’ve been paying attention! [ At that he’s already sprinting forward towards Ikki. He leaps off the ground and swings his leg to deliver a swift kick in the chest.

And we're off, folks. Popcorn and peanut gallery welcome. ]



((OOC: COLORS: Kururu, Ikki, and Glitch
These idiots will be replying to the network mid fight, come place bets, suggestions, and heckling welcome.))

[And at that very moment, Ikki's whole demeanor changes. Something about him sharpens, losing that goofy edge as Glitch charges in at him. He grins and slams down on his magical flying rollerblades A-T and rockets up into the air, twisting like a gymnast over Gitch's attack.]

Hehhh, not bad~

/barges in SORRY I HAD TO GO OUT ALL DAY

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Damn, are you kidding him? This guy can fly now? Fine. If that's how it's going to be this guy's in for it. ]

Tch! Running away? Wow, didn't think you were scared!

[ But he doesn't even bother trying to show off his own moves. Just keep showing off kiddo. For now he's running over to a trash can and ripping off it's lid before he hurls it towards Ikki's stomach. ]

[violentmotion]

[Showing off is what Storm Riders do. The Sky King reaches out and seems to take a handhold of the air, and pushes it back. For a single perfect second, the trash can lid woobles between thrown momentum and a heavy gale, as if floating. Ikki touches down lightly behind it, untouched as it clatters to the ground.]

Scared? Of this basic shit? Come on, bring it, man. You've got more than this.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ So wind manipulation, huh? Good to know. Just means he can't be throwing light objects at this guy or objects at all. When Ikki touches down and says that to him, he just smirks. Welp, time to start bringing out the big guns. ]

You'd be right about that.

[He throws his arm out quickly, index and middle finger pointed out towards Ikki. A spark of electricity swirls around his arm and travels down it towards the tips of his fingers. Soon a bolt of electricity lances out towards Ikki. The power inside the electricity isn't enough to kill but it'll definitely not be fun to feel. ]

[resoundingpledge]

Cameras two and three are tracking just fine! I altered the designs a little, so they should be okay no matter how far you stretch your wings.

. . . the announcing really isn't the same without Plugman-san though.

action

[glitchinthesystem]

Just make sure you get my good side when I trounce King Trash! [ As he's just sprinting around to get to Ikki. ]

video i guess??

[thepalinpaladin]

What am I watching and why am I watching?

[No seriously what is this how did this happen. Someone set the wrong site as his homepage. Should have made sure to make it google or youtube, Lance. Now you're trapped and those cat videos have to wait.]

[violentmotion]

[The video spins wildly. It's a bit like one of those videos that people take from the very top of lightning rods on top of enormous towers. The view below is sickeningly far and spinning as the crow boy twists and starts to plummet back to his waiting opponent.

Five seconds is MORE than enough time to answer (and preen.)]

The best fight of your life, buddy.

[thepalinpaladin]

I'm rooting for the other guy.

[violentmotion]

[Abruptly, Ikki cuts off the attack, sparks flying as he drags a sharp, rotating stop on a flagpole on the side of the building. HE POINTS AT THE CAMERA KURURU IS HOLDING.]

ENJOY BEING ON TEAM LOSER.

video; ID reads 'Sumeragi'

[resoundingpledge]

[ The actual video portion stays focused on the two boys in motion, panning from somewhere definitely higher than normal standard height.

The voice is the female one, though, bright and happy. ]

A match!

Not an official one, really, it's hard to have those here. But we wanted to broadcast it anyway.

[thepalinpaladin]

What would make it official?

[resoundingpledge]

Ahh . . . it would need to follow a few more rules. And Glitch would need to be on A-T too, and the battle type wouldn't be whatever they wanted. It would depend on each team's class, and who challenged who.

It's a little more formal.

/RUSHES IN IM SORRY IM LATE

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Like with Ikki this video is just kind of spinning about in the air. It couches clouds, ground, clouds again and then hand when Glitch catches it in the air having seemingly just avoided an attack. There's only a laugh to the response as the adrenaline is kicking in before he finally says: ]

You're watching me win free food the best way possible!

[thepalinpaladin]

DESTROY HIM HE IS THE WORST

[glitchinthesystem]

ALREADY PLANNED ON IT, BUDDY! This guy's all talk! No real skill at all!

[ Is he goading? Yeah, he's goading. ]

[hunksmash]

Wait. Are you fighting over hot dogs or noodles?

I mean-- You shouldn't be fighting at all, right?! Or making a scene like this! Just place bets like normal people!

[violentmotion]

[It's as Ikki jumps off a wall to narrowly escape a sweeping kick... he still finds time to answer the incoming message.]

THIS IS WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO, FOOL!

[hunksmash]

No, it's not! You guys are gonna get hurt! Or hurt somebody else!

Over hot dogs! Just buy a hot dog!

[resoundingpledge]

It's not really fighting over a hot dog. They're testing themselves against each other.

The hot dog is just the prize. It's a little unusual, but still . . . it's not too bad.

[hunksmash]

Shouldn't they at least go somewhere else? Or... You know. Test themselves some other way?

Trying to pummel each other in the streets probably isn't going to go over well. Or be particularly safe.

video AHHH SORRY LATE

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Oh shit it's Hunky guy. Glitch having now just backed away from his failed kick. Shit, play it cool. Be cool, Glitch. ]

Both. Both is the answer.

[ As for that part, Glitch just shrugs. ]

Hey, we did this all the time where I'm from so it's cool.

video YOU'RE GOOD

[hunksmash]

Don't you think you should consider whether or not this is cool here?

I mean, this place is weird and apparently huge, bad, fight-stuff happens all the time, but... You're just fighting in the street and broadcasting it? Is this supposed to be an organized event or something?

[thepalinpaladin]

Hunk, stop being against the fight and start being for that stupid kid with the bad hair and bad attitude getting beat up.

[hunksmash]

[ Which one is which right now, tho? UUUUH...... ]

I'm not gonna be for anybody getting beat up!

Why are you?
