Love the smell of meringue in the morning!(R-san's students)
OoC: This battle is for Ryorinin-san's Dome students only. Each student will post twice, and the winner will be decided by Aurora at the end of the the fight.
BiC: Aurora regarded the assorted fighters before her at the fountain. They all appeared well rested, and anxious to learn.
"Okay, if everyone's here, follow me," and she led the group out of the courtyard and into the halls of the Dome once more. Some chatted while they walked. She made a mental note to speak to the elf privately about the whole LADY Aurora business. She had grown accustomed to it at home, as a title, but had never liked it. Too stuffy, too arrogant, and more than a little deceptive.
They stopped at an unusual looking door with red velvet curtains. "This is probably the wierdest room I've discovered in my time here. Just thought I'd warn you." The class entered to find themselves in something straight out of an impressionist painting.
A well-waxed floor in a curvy, black-and-white, sort of checkerboard pattern stretched as far as the eye could see. This unending plane met the horizon where it transformed into a odd, cotton candy pink colored sky, which was dotted with canary yellow clouds. The door remained. A set of red velvet curtains, suspended from nothing, the only break in an otherwise remerkable, but monotone landscape. The masculine gathering looked positively disgusted.
"Truth be told, I don't care for the decor either," Aurora shrugged. "I can't stand pink. But, this room's characteristics are as unusual as its appearance. Starfire, attack me with your moonblades."
The group recoiled in shock. "My lady, are you sure?" the elf asked in disbelief.
"Your teacher told you to do something, Starfire," was her only reply.
The elf steeled himself then lunged at the blond woman. He expected her to move at the last moment, but froze in shock as his weapon met with her forehead! The entire group gasped as they saw what had happened.
The blade had actually bent! Starfire recoiled from his attack and tested his blades. They were no longer hard and sharp, but wobbled and flopped about like rubber. Aurora laughed as her pupils all drew their weapons to find them just as useless. "Don't worry, it's just an effect of this particular room. Your toys will be returned to all their former glory once you've left. Seeing as your weapons are now useless, you won't mind setting them all down, there, next to the door." Everyone complied, some more hesitantly than others.
"Now, for the real weirdness. This place has a very unique ability." She held out one hand, palm up, as though holding something. "I want...hmm...well, let's just be traditional... I want banana cream pie!" Before their eyes, a crusted, pastry confection, laden with a mountain of whipped cream, appeared in her outstretched hand. "You can have any kind of pie you can think up, from lemon meringue to mud, just by saying the words, 'I want" then naming a variety of pie." She looked around at the confused faces, and decided to make things easy for them.
"Your assignment,... is a pie fight. You cannot cause serious physical harm to a person here, that's why weapons don't work. You may not use magic. You have thirty minutes to cover each other with as much sugary confection as possible. I'll decide the winner at the end of that time. Who knows, the winner might even get something good for his trouble..."
With that, Aurora turned toward the door, but rather than going through it, leaped into the air, perching lightly on top of it. Then, she sat down, watching in amusement as the group wasted time figuring out if she was insane.
OoC: There's your assignment, a pie fight. No relying on fancily named attacks, or weapons, or magic spells here. I'm restricting your options because I want keen description of physical actions. I want brilliant, no-holds barred, active storytelling. I even restricted the environment, so you could focus exclusively on your chartacter's actions.
You may work together, developing teams, or just cream each other independently. It's up to you. This is supposed to be stupid and fun, so let your imagination run wild! I/Aurora will decide the winner based on the amount of detail in your descriptions of the fight, the imaginativeness of your attacks, and how well you describe your character's movements (i.e. How many time do I have to read through it to figure out exactly what you're trying to say).
If you guys have fun doing this, let me know, I'm thinking of starting a pie fight in the spare time grounds, just for kicks!
