Maurine, charge! Prepare some spikes and cast ice near his feet!

Aria, flail wildly and set yourself on fire!!! Then get serious while Mina is confused - flap your wings and use the heat wave to disorient her.

Yay cartoon physics! We can suggest all manner of gory, violent actions and they'll just result in a few bruises or burn marks!

shit, I was hoping we'd talk strategy with Maurine before we started things. Fuck it, we'll just wing it. Let your sword on fire and get ready to block/dodge whatever they throw at you. Try to stick next to Maurine and ask if she can actually shoot out blades from a distance or if she has to be close.

Depending on the answer we take one of two strategies.
1) yes she can hit form a distance.
-stick close to her and use your flame powers to keep whatever the twins through at the two of you away as she pelts them with blades and generally fuck up anyone who is unwise enough to get in close like you did to snake girl yesterday.
2)no she has to be up close to attack
-tell her to follow you and watch your back. The idea here is to to aggro the twins while she keeps you form getting overwhelmed and getting some cheap shots in. If they aggro her instead of you then make them pay by getting some of your own cheap shots in. Just team up on one of the twins and try and take them down quick.

Neither is really fancy but seeing as we're winging it the simpler the better. less chance for mistakes.

[Attempt joint communication: Maurine and Aria]
Hey, if this works, both of you should hear us. Not really sure if it will, but hey, worth a try, yeah?

Maurine, I notice that Mina has an odd object. Keeping the air cool around you should help compress the mass of it, and if you are capable of making it cold enough, possibly even render it useless for the time being. Of course, this does rely on it being technological in origin, not magical like Aria's sword, but hey, even reducing the size of a magical item should be helpful, yeah?

Aria, I'm not sure what offensive strategies to give you, but if it looks like an opponent is closing in in a threatening manner (As in, a way that might actually cause harm to your clothing with little chance of parrying or blocking), fire up your wings. Literally, summon the fire into them, and flap. The gust of hot air should slow them down and/or propel your movement to assist in a dodge.

Mina starts running at me with her little metal stick, and it lights up into a huge sword! Jeez she's fast! I light up my wings and flap some hot air at her but it doesn't even slow her down!

Mina's charging Aria and if I even get close to her…! Oh king I can't do this!

Looks like a feint! Concentrate on Mina, but be ready in case the Dude tries something!

Aria, get ready to defend! Maurine, ice the floors! Or do ice-something-something near the floors whatever

Aria
she charging, with a sword, hm. Grab your sword and fire parry it. when your swords meet use explosion though you sword and see if you can't knock her weapon free of her hands or at least knock her back.

Maurine
Look you'll be fine aria is about to try something and once she does it (you should know when she does it) move in claws or something and try to land a cheap blow or two on lizard girl while Aria gets her feet under her

Both, the brother isn't doing anything so try and keep an eye on him, he's either waiting for Maurine to do something or he has a ranged attack.

>I light up my wings and flap some hot air at her but it doesn't even slow her down!
It's... meant as a dodge tactic, not a slow-down tactic. The hot air isn't going to travel very far before it cools down, after all. You combine shoving hot air into their face with pushing your own self out of theirs to make it a good deal harder to hit you.

Maurine, I know they weren't made for channeling, but try channeling your ice through a sharp object; even if it just encases it in a dull layer of ice, it'll add more mass so that it hits harder if thrown.

Maurine: This is a great time to try things you've never tried before. Go back up Aria. Just move. One step in front of the other. Bring up your defenses preemptively, and just react to threats as they come. Try not to think about what you're doing.

If it helps, think of it as protecting Aria's dignity, not your own.

>>616609
To Aria: Attempt the firey parry against the goofy-huge sword. If that sword's just made of magic or something it may be light as a feather and easy to deflect.

To Maurine: you can totally do this!
First, you just need to protect your clothes. cover yourself with snowy padding and icy plates. Your very own Winter Coat!
From there, you just need to make a blade with lots of little pointy, hooked bits that will catch cloth easily. Look at how loose that girl's shirt and skirt are: it wouldn't be hard at all to snag them.

I go to parry her sword, but it turns into a hammer right before she hits me! It smashes right through my block!

I start running to Mina. The weight from the hammer spun her around. I try to make armor out of my clothes… but it just puts a chilly coating on the inside of them. I… I've never done this before…

[Critical Success!]

I start running to Mina. The weight from the hammer put her off balance... I pull a sword with numerous hooks from my forearm and snag the collar of her shirt, then drag it diagonally across her back and legs as hard as I can.

I, uh, oh my… I… I think tore off most of her clothes…

I slam really hard against the ground. Ooooowwww, that hurt!

Oh jeez, she took off the top half of my dress! I try to cover up a little and grab my sword. I'll make her pay for that!

Well, Maurine helped you get payback already, but... Well, she's likely stunned at having managed to drive the girl practically nude in one fell swoop. Might wanna get in there and stop her from wailing on Maurine.

Maurine: Excellent! If you can make the blade a little longer, it would be easy to use those same hooks to cut up her shoelaces. even if her shoes don't fall off, it will make running like she had before much more difficult. Even one shoe would make things lopsided for her.

Aria: Change targets! Lou has to be hanging back for a reason.. His abilities may favor range.. and probably have something to do with smoke.

Okay Maurine, you're pretty close. Grab her... anything, and freeze her up to slow her down. Maybe the tail, that seems like an easy target.

Freeze her tail to the floor! Or her feet whatever you can nab really.

Aria it seems like the brother may be preparing something, you may want to keep him on guard.

I'll finish Mina off later! I turn and stick my feet one by one and phasesprint at the other guy, then try at bumrush him! He puts a hand on the ground and pulls up a wall that looks kinda like Mina's weapon.

Oh no, I'm moving too fast! I smack into the thing face-first. Ow…

Her back glows purple, and tentacles shoot out…! Th-They wrap around my hands and feet, and hoist me into the air… Mina turns her hammer into a sword, and grins at me.

"Gotcha."

Oh King no, no, no, no, she's going to hit me with that…

TGChan, H-h-help!

Just jut some swords out where the tentacles are grabbing on and cut through them!

...Aria, did you forget you can go intangible?

>>620198
Actually, scratch that, Aria, make his wall intangible! He'll fall right through!

>>620173
Maurine, Make some blades sprout from your wrists and bring them both down with all your strength!
That teleport was probably a Mark, it's not something she'll be able to use repeatedly. If you get a chance, try to freeze her again. Optimally you'd do that to disable her weapon arm.

Man, these shapeshifting weapons are powerful.

>>620199
AND THEN HUG HIM WITH FIRE.

Brother can make walls and sister can make shadow tentacles and teleport. Good to know.

Aria
...quick question, I notice that lizard brother's little wall trick is transparent. Think you could use your fire power to make a large flash and blind him? Then cut his clothes apart with a flaming intangible sword. Just try to make an explosion but instead of trying to blow everything up just focus on making as bright of a light as you can, like a flashbang.

Maurine
Are those tentacles solid? as in they can be cut solid? If so SHOOT SPIKES OUT OF OUR BODY. Around you legs and arms see if you can't tear out of her grip... and if you can shoot them out of you body like a bullet then you might be able to stagger lizard girl as well and get another attack in.

Why not use the flash mark to blind him, if you have it equipped? Like >>620220 said, the wall is transparent.

>>620173
Maurine, be the glacier. Cover and surround yourself with snow and ice. Anchor yourself to the floor, even, to make it harder for her to move you around.

Make them feel the chill of your disapproval

Use the flash mark to blind him, then go through the wall and attack him!

For those saying to blind him: I don't think it will work since he is wearing sunglasses.

>>620437
A person can still be blinded through glasses. It basically fills any darkness, or something like that, too, so it might actually make the glasses themselves bright, or vanish them (which should help, they are a "clothing" piece).

Maybe try and get rid of his glasses before using the flash mark? And tell Maurine to cover her eyes!

>>620782
We can tell Maurine that.

Hey, Maurine, just in case Aria uses the flash mark, keep your eyes away from the brother.

They don't even really cover his eyes that much! I got this.

I push myself off the wall and use the flash mark before that dude guy can do anything else. He turns away from the light and covers his eyes with his hands. The glasses do nothing! As soon as he lets go of the wall, it dissolves! Haha, I've got him right where I want him!

"F-fuck."

Oh shit, berserker mode!
SHRED HER UP, MAN! RIP AND TEAR!

aria- swing up with a Fiery Phaseblade and remove his glasses and shirt.

Maurine- can you raise the ice up even higher and completely encase her? If not then grab her arms and try to freeze those to her sides or just make a makeshift pare of ice handcuffs. Then remove her hairbands with your blades.

>>625945
Maurine: Oh interesting, your ice is damaging her clothing. I didn't expect it to do that. Summon any goddamn weapon (bigger the better) and slam her head with it. That should knock off her hairbands or whatever those are. Those do count! Hmm, or freeze her head. Bonus points if you freeze her entire body then slam it so that all the ice shatters, taking the last of her clothing with it. Make her feel your shame!

Aria: I want you to feint with your sword then just grab his shirt and yank it off whole via intangibility.

Since it's been more than a month since the last update, I'm willing to drop a reminder here: This is a tier 1 battle. There hairbands DO NOT matter, since accessories aren't counted. Same with Lou's glasses. They can be removed anyway, but that won't bring Maurine and Aria any closer to victory.

>>625961
>>625956
Aria stays the same then since it's still a good chance to knock off the shirt but I would like to add aiming for a shoe to see if she can't knock that off as well. Maurine also stays the same but just ignore the hairband comment then.

>>625945
Maurine: If you're still taking advice~ grab the terrified little thing and pull her right out of the ice you've trapped her in. the ice will probably keep its grip on her socks and shoes and spell de-feet for her.

>>625941
Keep up the pressure, of course! Follow up on the shirt with the phaseblade if possible, and keep yourself close. Maybe body check him to push him off balance.

Maurine still has clothing on! You are out but she's still in and she's removed her opponents clothing as well!

Maurine you gotta do it girl! Head over and finish off theb rothers.

I forget, does your hair thing count?

if shoes count then i argue that your hair thing counts.

yes but this is a team event, and Maurine is just getting started holy shit. You can still win this thing over all but yeah sorry to tell you this but your out kid. just be glad we talked you out of betting your sword

[Maurine]
uh, lizard brother just destroyed that dress you made for Aria... watch out he can breath fire and can cast shields, so don't charge him and be ready to use ice to block his flames. If he does try breathing fire at you it should make a good cloud of steam so you can probably use that to cover you. other then that my advice is just to make something to knock him down and then grab him by his ankles and either spin him around until he slips out and goes flying or make blades in your hands and tear his feat apart.

>>627851

here you go

Aria: it is a good thing we suggested that you wear your hairband. You're still in, so don't worry. You also still have Maurine (who is doing really well I must add).

For now, jump away from this dude, and Rocket Blast towards Mina and slash her hairbands as she is falling to finish her off, and gain some distance away from the lizard dude.

It's a team battle, Aria. Get out of the way, let Maurine finish him off. Also, that was our bad. He definitely was showing signs of having fire breath. We could've warned you in time.

Also damn Maurine you got some GREAT form there. But look at what that bastard did to Aria! Go get some revenge. Look out for his fire breath, and don't let him regain use of his forcefield weapon.

Also, if you can think of anything that will help her calm down after this, it would be fantastic. I suspect she didn't find this very fun after all..

Maurine: This isn't some mean prank: Its a game with friends. The King couldn't want his people, who can't truly hurt one another, to suffer from it.

You have a sharp, creative mind, steady hands, and a strong, solid form. In fact, being as small and light as they are, they're at a bit of a disadvantage once they're in reach.

You have the power to end this match. You can choose to call an end to it with no consequences, if you truly don't want to play any longer.. your friends will understand.

... or you can easily pin mister pompadour down and take his shoes.
Your blades, or your ice, can get around his wall. You can use your hands to block his fire breath with ice.. and bring up something hooked from your feet to slice through his laces and pull his shoes right off.

>>627843
No, you didn't lose. You're out. You haven't really lost until your teammate has been knocked out, too.

And, uh, don't feel bad about that. Team games sometimes require sacrificial moves. You still did good.

All you can really do at this point is hope you hold fire-butt's attention long enough for Maurine to finish him by wiping out his shoes.

On my way to the sidelines, I see Mina heading there too. Jeez… did Maurine do that?

When we get to the edge of the arena, Mina looks at me and says, "I gotta give your friend some props, those were totally sicknasty moves for a first-timer. One moment she's freakin' the fuck out, then BAM, she's got me up to my knees in ice and she's hitting me with a wicked uppercut! And that was after she got my whole outfit in like… one shot!"

I can do this… One foot in f-front of the other. I… I can do this. I… just can't think about what I'm… doing. J-just put one foot in front of the other… I… just need to get the shoes. Just a pair of shoes and it's over. I can do this…

>uh, lizard brother just destroyed that dress you made for Aria...

>But look at what that bastard did to Aria! Go get some revenge. Look out for his fire breath, and don't let him regain use of his forcefield weapon.

I can do this!

>>628430
...hey! Mina dropped her weapon. Pick it up, see if you can figure out how to use it. It'll be super useful if you can.

Oh don't get to bummed out Aria, that guy just had powers that kind trumped yours. I mean the way you've been building yourself up you're more of a hit and run fast attacker. With his shield bullshit he was able to bog you down... and thinking back on it telling you to try and block that one chick's attack instead of dodge was probably a bad call on our part. Oh well you learn more with each loss then with each victory.

-Maurine-
You're doing great kid. Just make sure you have your ice powers ready to protect you at a moments notice because this guy uses fire for his offensive ability so your ice should be able to cancel it out. he can also make shields so direct attacks might be tricky on this guy. maybe try to ice the floor and just have blades come out your feet so you won't slip and he will. turn the terrain into something that benefits you. You don't have to ice the whole floor just where you walk. and if you can stick this guy to the floor like you did to his sister that would also probably help a lot.

*Aria*
>Too bad I too busy fighting your brother to see it…
Oh, uh, let me try something.
[Show >>625945 and >>627840]
>"Uh, I never said-"
Didn't everybody bet their spares, though?

*Maurine*
Hmm. Think you can make a path of ice in front of you? You can possibly protrude some blades from your feet and "skate" around him. If you manage to get behind him, those horns would make great hooks to pull upon in order to slam him down to get at his shoes and socks, and if you happen to jab your feet-claws into them as you toss him, they'll either pull or tear right off, too.

I have an idea

ARIA: ask Mina in a friendly way how her weapon works, we will relay the instructions to Maurine when she uses Mina's weapon on the ground. Don't sound too suspicious though

Maurine: Pick up that weapon Mina dropped. I am going to try to get Aria to get instructions on using that thing from Mina, then we will tell you how to use it.

Wow…

She knocked Mina like like ten feet into the air! I didn't know she could be that fierce!


>>"Uh, I never said-"
>Didn't everybody bet their spares, though?

Yeah, but I never said anything about ordering her around! She just kinda… decided that was a dare she was gonna do if she lost.

>I have an idea
>ARIA: ask Mina in a friendly way how her weapon works, we will relay the instructions to Maurine when she uses Mina's weapon on the ground. Don't sound too suspicious though

We gotta do this!

"Hey Mina! That sword-hammer-weapon-thingy you've got is awesome! How's it work?"

She stops cheering a Lou for a second a beams at me. "Oh, it's rad! I had to save up for it for a long time for it, but my offensive power's made of suck so I had to.

It's fitted with an outward-facing projection stone on one side, and a sundering stone on the other! I just think about what I want it to be and it projects my offensive barriers into whatever weapon I want! The sundering stone on the other side makes it deconstruct any clothes it touches. Too mad I can't make it do something with my teleport, but you win some you lose some!"

Oh King that's so awesome! I need one!

"Wow, that's pretty cool!"

Maurine kinda growls a little and uses her free hand to scoop up Mina's weapon.


----MAURINE----

>Maurine: Pick up that weapon Mina dropped. I am going to try to get Aria to get instructions on using that thing from Mina, then we will tell you how to use it.

>...hey! Mina dropped her weapon. Pick it up, see if you can figure out how to use it. It'll be super useful if you can.

…I reach down pick up Mina's weapon… oh king everyone's staring… I j-just need to focus. He ruined the dress I made for Aria…!

Lou's still standing there with his palms out… I… I think he's waiting for me to make the first move…

>>628775
The palms-out thing is also what he did to project that wall.

Mina seems to imply that her weapon might work with defensive powers as well.. so here's an idea. get to about half-court, then try to project your ice through the weapon, holding it so the 'blade' is more or less aiming right up.. make it as long as possible, then bring it down on him. His wall seemed to have a top when Aria er.. tested it, earlier.

It should make him stumble, stagger, or otherwise break his composure, giving you a chance to get in close and strip his sneakers. Heck, if you can keep his head from facing you, you might not even need to use a weapon at that point.

>>628775
Maurine: Projection stone on one side, sundering stone on the other. You just have to think about a type of weapon, and the projection is created. Might I suggest a sickle? It could curve around any shield he tries to make. Make sure the projection stone is on the side you think it is.

Ooooh if you want to be super badass you could project one half of a pair of giant scissors, and create the other half using your weapon-creation ability.

I think of a sickle, and it flickers into existence… it shakes in my hand and the handle is hot! I can feel that it will cut through his shoes like tissue.

He who hesitates is lost. Strike! Grab his feet and shred those shoes with blades!

we'll you're in a really good spot to take out his shoes so do that while you answer his question.

Strike, now, before he decides to take out what's left of your shirt.

After destroying his shoes politely tell him yes, you're okay, thank you.

Use your left arm since that's out of his range of vision.

Oh, you might also want to swipe at his hand so that he can't immediately blast you again.

Bop him with your tail as a distraction and de-feet his shoes.

Jeez… I hope tgchan's okay...

Well we are here...Kinda, I mean it seems like we won't be for much longer, seems like we can't connect to you for much longer and it seems like we won't be able to connect again.

HEY ARIA, WE'RE DYING... kinda. More like whatever was letting us stick around here has kind of gone kaput and we're about to be disconnected. Either way we're going to be going away soon... sorry about that, didn't mean to put a damper on your day with our petty personal problems but this one seem unavoidable. we've got... about 5 to 10 minutes before we have to leave, 15 at most, so at the very least we came by to say good bye... maybe throw some last minute advice as well. Hey just because we won't be able to see you make it to the top doesn't mean we can't help you get there.

...figures that this'd happen as soon as you win your first match.. Seems almost like fate, to be honest. While we won't die, whatever connection we have to you and your world is rapidly failing. It was really nice knowing you, Aria, and it was nice knowing your friends, but I think you're strong enough to win this on your own, now... You don't need us anymore.

>>642084
We're here, but not for very long. We can only talk for a little bit but hey at least we can talk with you at all given our situation.

>Jeez… I hope tgchan's okay...
Don't worry! We're fine. Our connection is unstable though, so we probably won't be able to see you through your journey, anymore.

Sorry. Inter-dimensional communications magic isn't always the most reliable thing.

Congrats on your win, by the way. Tell Maurine we said she did good. We're proud of her for coming through, and sticking with it.

...be nice to her, by the way. She's probably got a massive crush on you. Would have just let things take their course, but we're probably not gonna get the chance to see it. So I'll take the chance to be a busybody, now.

I think you can win your battles, although you're going to have to work harder to look for opportunities yourself. You'll have to see the next nipple to bite when it presents itself. Fight smart.

And don't take it too hard when you do lose. Every journey has setbacks, and no one can win every fight.

Aria, have you ever wondered why the good king chose you out of so many other people in your world to have us temporarily help you through these past two days?

While it may be something I don't quite understand, I theorize that he perhaps sees you as a prodigy of something great and enlisted us to prepare you for your future. Seeing as we are forced to leave must mean we have fulfilled our duty, and you are ready to be the best fighter your world have ever seen. Don't let that get to your head though, we don't want you to get too egotistical.

>Congrats on your win, by the way. Tell Maurine we said she did good. We're proud of her for coming through, and sticking with it. 

Okay!

Maurine was really sad after the fight… and it kinda took us a little while to get her some clothes. Once she calmed down a little, she said you guys really helped her. She was pretty worried about you guys too…

I think she'll be happy to hear that! I really hope she fights with me again…

She was so cool… I was kind of a giant jerk though, getting her to fight with me even though I knew she was scared and embarrassed about battling.

>...be nice to her, by the way. She's probably got a massive crush on you. Would have just let things take their course, but we're probably not gonna get the chance to see it. So I'll take the chance to be a busybody, now. 

Um, uh, y-you think Maurine is crushing on me…? Oh… that's what all the stuff about dating her was about last night, huh?

Oh! That's why she said yes to battling, and the stripping and… oh jeez. I'm an even bigger jerk than I thought. I'll be nicer to her, I promise!


>I think you can win your battles, although you're going to have to work harder to look for opportunities yourself. You'll have to see the next nipple to bite when it presents itself. Fight smart. 

I'll take any chance I can get! I'll… I'll bite as many nipples as I have to so I can get to the top!

Nobody's gonna stop me from being champ!

>And don't take it too hard when you do lose. Every journey has setbacks, and no one can win every fight.

Yeah, I won't sweat losing too hard. I'll just fight them again, and I'll beat them twice as hard as they beat me!

I like that though! The best the world has EVER SEEN! I'm gonna do it. That's what I'm gonna be!

…That's it, huh? You've gotta go really soon…

It's been really fun, guys!

Final advice? Well, from what I've seen a lot of your intangibility tricks rely on momentum. Get good at moving fast, or pick up some equipment that lets you move faster. Something to extend your reach so you can tear clothes off enemies would be good too, but it's worth noting that with the way damage seems to work in your world grabbing stuff might only be needed for extremities or for smaller, hardier items. Otherwise you can use fire and/or vicious sword slices. I bet you can use intangibility to steal equipment from your enemies, not just clothes. I'm also wondering if you can get enough fine control over it to allow you to dive under the ground and pop up wherever you want. Like an attack from below?

Don't forget your defensive fire powers were defined as "fireballs" so you will eventually want to learn how to start creating actual balls of fire. I doubt you'll be able to throw them since that's a strictly offensive technique, but you might be able to place them down for area denial, or figure out how to block attacks outright with fire. Maybe with the force of the explosion? If you can figure out how to direct the explosion in only one direction you could use that without damaging yourself.

It occurs to me a possible ultimate technique could be an EXPLOSIVE BUMRUSH. Phase through someone then trigger an explosion when you're inside them. Their body might even protect your clothes from the explosion!

>This sucks!
that's life for you

But yeah, some times all you can do when the times get hard is just to roll with punches as they come and keep moving forward until things get better. Besides, I know you'll do great on your own, and thinking about it your not really alone, you have friends who will help you out and two mothers who can give you experienced advice if you need it. Not sure how much time we have left but I know it's not much so just going to take this time and say... well goodbye, it's been fun and that I wish we could have sticked around longer but sometimes things just don't work out like you wanted them to. Oh and if anyone else ask about us tell them we said bye to them as well. Don't want to seem rude.

>I'll bite as many nipples as I have to so I can get to the top!
Metaphorically! Well, literally too, if that's what it takes, but all silly unconventional opportunities won't be nipples. Probably.

>First you guys disappear on me, and now you're leaving forever?!
Well, not necessarily forever. It's possible we might find our way back in some more limited capacity, someday. Don't hold out on that, but maybe not forever.

>It's been really fun, guys!

Hey where'd my post go.

honestly I wanna say something sappy and emotional but all I can think about is how if this was a story somewhere the mere mention of the bad king earlier would assure his arrival later in the story.

like if that happens kickum his buttock
