Griz sized both of his opponents up as he stood beside Ismael. Taking a quick second he whispered a couple of things he knew to his partner."Hey, be careful of Marlon ok? I'm pretty sure that out of the two of us I stand a much better chance against the giant." taking a breath he continued "Lets try and keep those two as separated as possible and we should be fine.".
Addressing the whole group Griz spoke up is a slightly sleep worn voice."So this match will be carried out 2v2. Me, Griz Blancard and Ishmael Skhaos against Marlon Murk and Camelia Sol. These match shall be carried out until forfeit are these conditions to everyone's satisfaction?"
Smiling Griz finished his version of the speech the referees would give at the beginning of the tournament matches he participated in from time to time. Now he would wait for someone to start the match itself.

Marlon paused mid-stride on his way over to Miss Sol, frowning a little. He quickly unhooked his massive hunting knife from his belt and tossed it to the side of the ring, smiling sheepishly at everyone. "Plumb forgot. Not that I would've cheated against either of ya." Once he was next to the girl, he leaned down by her ear, the dull rumble of his whisper masking his words.
"Alright, Miss Sol, we're both sensible folks. We both lead teams. We oughtta be able to handle this, I reckon. Not sure how much ya know about these two, but I know you're no pushover. The Skaos kid, he'll be all over the place, and Blancard, he likes to hammer away and finish up fast-like. I figure our best bet is stickin' together, and feedin' one another openin's when we see them. Just keep your back to mine, and we'll do alright. Sound good?" he asked with a grin.

As Marlon speaks to his partner, Ismael walks over to his boots and actual puts them on and says, "I think it's fine if I wear these right?". Ismael then gets back to where his teammate is standing and prepares.

As the hulk of a man trodded over to her and leaned down, she paid close attention to his words. "Sounds like a healthy plan. Though I could, you know... just serve them to you on a silver platter." A sly smile slowly stretched accross her face as she spoke.
She then asnwered Monochrome's question, although it was more for formality than anything else. "As long as you don't use any weapons they might have, why not?"

Snapping into a defensive boxing stance and putting his back to Miss Sol's, he waited for everyone else to square up, and put on his stoniest poker face. Once they were all set to go, he opened his leading hand and motioned for them to come on with it. Come in swingin', why don't ya?

Augmenting his strength with his aura Griz blurred away from his spot in a burst of speed to re-appear in the air in front of marlon mid-jump. What he was hoping for was that his sudden appearance would get Marlon to strike forward instinctively so he could parry into a solid strike. However he knew boxing all too well and that defensive stance wasn't promising at all. Backup? Vault off this big guy and see what type of vantage he could get from an aerial point.

Better look alive, kid's jumpin' like a durned grasshopper. Unfazed, he just shifted the position a bit to make sure that if his opponent were to try and power into him and drive him back over Miss Sol, he'd be in for a rude wake up call. He made sure to make direct eye contact for a second, his gaze sharp like flint. Better hope Miss Sol was ready for Skaos...and there went her semblance, with Bouncy over here already in mid-air...
Sliver platter, ya said? Seems about right...

Camelia turned towards Griz, following him with her eyes. Her sparring partner had said to keep to each other's backs, and that was what she was planning on doing. Letting him take care of the other guy, she raised her shield in front of her and was ready for the kick aimed from up high, blocking it with her shield, after which she dodged sideways and aimed a right punch at the guy's left kidney.

He grunted with the blow, and staggered back a step or two, tensing himself to check that weird kid's momentum. He'd thankfully already had his arms up to guard, but that impact was pretty durned solid. Grunting, Marlon used the fact that Skaos had come at him even faster than he'd intended, making grappling or any kind of well-aimed strike impossible, and just dropped a heavy elbow on his skull before following up with a heavy punt to send him back the way he came.

(EDIT: Also, I thought Ismael was Aura unprotected only when he didn't expect a blow, which he honestly should have.)

Marlon instantly knew something was very wrong. Skaos shouldn't be bleeding, and his body had been a damn sight more yielding that somethin' shielded by aura...
"Y'ALL STOP!" he roared, holding out his hands. "Skaos, what in hellfire are ya doin', boy? Why don't ya have your aura up!? I could've broken your neck if I'd swung a little further back!" he cried, plain horror on his face. To think, nearly killin' a man your supposed to be workin' with...

As for the rest, no idea.(EDIT: I can apparently go on with posting stuff until further order. Just keep in mind that, depending on what happens, every single post that involves one of my characters may become non-existent - that is, the events within would've never happened.)
Camelia had stopped using her semblance right at the sight of the blood coating Ismael's hand. That wasn't normal. She approached him along with everyone else, but not really knowing him, preferred to let the others handle it, a worried look on her face.

"You okay man? You don't look well at all?" Colton refused to touch him for now, not until Ismael gave a clear sign of his legs giving way or a form of weakness.

The hell am I gonna tell Miss Altin and Miss Roux, and that other fella? Sorry I broke your buddy's head, I wasn't payin' attention...Shucks, this was bad. He ran a hand through his hair, unsure if Skaos would let him help or not, and glanced nervously around the room. How had none of them noticed this? He looked at Miss Sol forlornly, shrugging in his helplessness.

She turned her head to look at the red-hued monochrome guy again, now being intercepted by a denim-clad blond student, her smile fading. "At least it went better this time around. The last time that happened, someone had to come in from outside Beacon to calm him down." She turned back to Murk, her smile returning as she saw his still somewhat distressed face. "Plus, it's not like we don't have great nurses around here, is it?"

"Sure thing big guy, lets go," Colton said as he stretched and did warm ups. He stepped back away from Griz and did a few punches towards nothing. He stares at Griz.
"Whenever you want."

Marlon nodded slowly. "I heard about that. Somethin' went wrong and his teammates had to try and keep him down and couldn't." His face remained dark, though not from remorse. Somethin' was off about the Skaos kid, he'd picked up on it from the start. Yeah, he was friendly enough, but Marlon had seen enough unhinged men in his day to know not all the cuckoos were in the nest. It set his teeth on edge, sometimes, how Skaos was even allowed at Beacon. What's more, Cheri spent a good deal of her time with the boy, and so did Miss Beckett. Sure, he wasn't all that familiar with the well-to-do lass, but she was good and kind from what he'd seen.
So were Skaos' teammates. The thought made him uneasy. Not that Skaos was a bad guy, and Marlon was willing to look past rumors, just...he never felt right. He always found himself keeping an eye out when they were near one another, as if waiting for something to go wrong.
"Yeah. Haven't had the occasion to need a nurse yet. Must be luck." he said, letting out a half-hearted laugh.

She then turned to the new arrival, her ponytail singing as she did. "And I believe you, sirs, will be teaming up against the two us?", she said with a sly smile. The effect was ruined - she wouldn't be able to catch them off-guard with her semblance again. Oh well. Guess it'll be fairer, then.
Post by: Timeworker on October 02, 2016, 08:37:06 AM
-No weapons of any kind. You there! Yes you! Girl with the totally fair gravity semblance and shield. One of those things is banned and unfortunately it's not the semblance which brings me to the second rule.
-Semblances are allowed
-We fight until 25% or tap-out
-Aura must be up at ALL time
If no one objects to these rules we can begin."
Griz got into a fighting stance as he looked at the opposition again.
(OOC: For the sake of fairness everyone is 100% aura again and not tired from Semblances)

'Keep down for 5 minute random environment change'
Colton pulls the lever down and keeps it there and watches the ground beneath them change to grass. Colton goes back beside Griz.
"Cool," Colton said slightly amazed, but amazed

He bit back a sigh as she signed him right up for another fight. He hadn't been feeling like fighting anymore, not after almost breakin' some poor soul, but might as well not disappoint the lady. She still looked like she'd enjoy herself. That Joule fella looked like he wanted to replace Skaos. Heh, well, one tricky opponent for another, then. Leastways this one was more predictable, and a little bigger, too. He muttered as much to his partner, keeping his voice down, before returning to his same defensive stance at her back. If he really needed to, he could probably swing out over her head and keep them off her if need be.
His mood had soured to the point where he cared little for the magic of the arena flooring, something he normally took in with child-like awe. Better get this over with...time to get serious.

Colton is in year three, a well trained boxer and capoeira fighter. He also had lighting up his sleeve.
Post by: Uncouth T-Rex on October 05, 2016, 10:50:54 PM
Attempting to focus as his Uncle had been teaching him, he made an effort to cut loose with his aura, trying hard not to over-exert himself this time. It was a training match, right? Why not try out something new? Keeping the focal point of Marianne's encouraging smile in the back of his mind, instead of bracing it or reinforcing his stance with it as he was already used to, he poured his aura into his limbs, quickening their movements and adding its strength to his own considerable brawn.
What he'd intended to do was shoulder check Joule away from Miss Sol and effectively trade places so that she was on his opposite side. What happened was far more explosive and cost him a chunk of his aura as he powered forward, digging great gouges in the turf with his boots where he pushed off. The block that should have halted or deflected his opponent just far enough to be in range instead carried them both roughly a dozen feet farther than he'd wanted to go and by rights would send the slightly smaller man rolling several dozen feet more.
At the end of it Marlon was left standing there with a surprised expression, his entire body smoking and frozen in the final point of his ram. It looked durn silly. "Aw, shucks..." he muttered. So was this how it felt to be Fallow?
