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!

OOC: Hope this is good enough, becauase I worked hard coming up with the pie explosion thing... lmao

BiC:Tokumaru was bewildered at Aurora’s childish request: Have a fight between his fellow students using pie, one of his favorite foods? It really made no difference to him, for when Aurora said: “The winner might actually win something special”, it quite frankly aroused his interest. To win a prize, Tokumaru would cover his foolish foes in mountains of blobby cream”.

High up in her perch, Aurora snapped her ladylike fingers. “Begin already!” The Elven warrior, Starfire, was the first to attack. Instead of a moon-blade, he held up his hand and yelled: “Cherry!” Starfire then grasped the crusted pie that fell upon his hands. The cherries could be seen from inside the crust, as it was thin and flaky. At that moment, each of the warriors knew it was about to get messy…

Starfire rushed in on Nai, the newest student he had seen so far, and pummeled his face with the cherry delight. “Oh…” said Nai maliciously, “IT - IS - ON!!!” Nai held up both of his hands and yelled: “Apple, Key Lime!” A green crusted pie fell into his left hand, while a goldenrod pie that was leaking its delicious substances fell into his right. “Dual Pie Thrust!” Nai began to spin quickly. Eventually, he turned into a tornado of some sorts, and the two pies flew from his hands and were accelerated at Starfire and Tokumaru.

Starfire barely dodged the blow while Tokumaru held his hand up and yelled: “Jieishudan!” (Defend) The pie was instantly cut in two by the samurai’s hand and the two halves flew by his face at amazing speeds, and the gelatinous contents spilled all over his face.

Nai was very dizzy after his attack, and he was tackled by Starfire. The Elven warrior called upon the room’s whimsical powers and summoned a cream pie. “Cream!” At the last minute, Starfire held the pie in front of Nai and the warrior’s face was instantly covered. At this same time, Tokumaru was creeping up behind the two to attack. “Fools…” he thought as he held his hands up to summon a pie. “No variety at all…” At that moment, he quickly jumped into the air. “Gasoline! Fire!” Starfire and Nai looked at Tokumaru in paranoia as he threw the fuel pie at them. In this confusion of new pie types, they couldn’t dodge, and were instantly covered in the gasoline. “Eat this!!!” Yelled Tokumaru as he threw the Fire pie down at the two warriors. “Pie Explosion!!!” The magnificent flames fell upon Starfire and Nai, setting them into a fiery oblivion.

As Tokumaru landed back on the ground, two pies were thrown from the plume of hell flames.

OOC: Dude...is fire and gas pie even allowed? And there's no magic allowed dude, she said that already. I would continue but, the first post broke some rules, I'll wait for Ryorinin-san's verdict.

If you remeber, she DID say magic was not allowed, and i DID remember. But she said be IMANGINITAVE and that we could use any pie type. KEY WORD: ANY! And when imagination and the word ANY come into pklay together, you get things like fire and gas pies. (PS please dont count this as my second post, im just correcting a few things for I Mack)

OoC: Pie fight! Yeah, this'll be cool.

BiC: Chaos s******ed.
"A pie fight?" he asked. "How original."
He leaned back to dodge a custard pie thrown at him, and concentrated.
"A hot steak pie should spice things up!" he said, and a steaming pastry snack appeared in his hand. He leapt into the air, bringing the pie down on Starfire's head.
"It's curry pie time!" said Chaos, enjoying the complete randomness of the task at hand. He stuffed the curry pie into Nai's mouth.
"That spiced up the battle," said Chaos, backflipping over an apple pie thrown by Tokumaru and landing on his shoulders.
"Double custard pies!" said Chaos, slamming his twin desserts into the sides of Tokumaru's head. Chaos jumped off.
"C'mon stooges!" laughed Chaos. "This is too easy! I don't even have to transform for this!"

OoC: Incidentally, is Chaos allowed to transform, since it isn't actually magic,. but one of his own characteristics?

1. Safer Sephiroth- while I will give you points for trying to turn my words to your advantage (it does show a devious brand of imagination ) I ALSO SAID

"You may not cause serious physical harm to a person here..."

I think setting them on fire qualifies as serious physical harm. Back it up and try again. You can either have nothing happen when you summon such dangerous material, have it fizzle halfway there, or pick something else.

I will also classify "Jeishudan" as a defensive spell, also illegal, but overall useless because he got a face full of pie anyway.

2. You have all missed a very important detail. My post said there was a specific method of summoning a type of pie to your aid.

"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."

It's like 'Simon says' and you just lost. I seem to remember saying something before about paying attention to detail...

3. Master of Chaos- I had a feeling you would take the early lead in this battle. You missed the 'I want rule', but showed some good imagination in your choices of ammunition right off the bat. However, you lose points for shortness. Not Chaos', but the post itself was a little too short.

Don't make me start putting length requirements on assignments guys!

As for transformations, I think I'll allow it on the basis of a natural ability, since Aurora is capable of using her own chi energy here.

In case you're wondering SS, I'm making a different decision in this case from yours due to the fact that your defensive spell was obviously learned rather than natural, and required a invocation of sorts. I'm also ruling out the 'Dual Pie Thrust' attack you created for Nai on the same grounds.

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.

As a side note, I thought up this assignment in this way because most of my students have specifically asked to improve in their action writing. That is all this battle is. Or, did I just imagine that? *runs back to check student files* Nope, I was right.

4. Alchemist- Yes, you have to take part in this after you finish your current assignment. Of course a pie battle is ridiculous. We do a lot of ridiculous things for the sake of education. Roll with it. Who knows, you might even have fun. Sometimes good writing is as much about finding the humor in a situation as it is about action and violence. Lighten up dude! :cool: You'll get serious assignments with plenty of blood-letting all in good time, so why not enjoy the levity? *shrugs* But, if you really want to be stubborn about this, write your posts about Kaid avoiding the fight. Unfortunately, if you do this, you have no shot at the prize. Really, what do you have to lose?

OoC: Awesome. Thanks Ryorinin. It's pie time!

BiC: Chaos sprinted towards the wall and jumped up, kicking off it to avoid a flurry of mud pies. As he landed, a stray pie hit him directly in the face. He wiped it off and scowled.
"Gross," he said. "You're gonna eat pie for that. I want chicken pie!"
A large chicken pie appeared in his hand, and he sprinted towards Kaid, transforming as he went into a gazelle and balancing the pie on his tail. With a flick of his tail, Chaos launched the pie into Kaid's face. Chaos transformed back and noticed the other students closing in around him, pies at the ready.
"Crud," said Chaos. "Okay, evasive manouvers."
As the others threw their pies, Chaos transformed into a fly and buzzed away. The crossfire of pies hit the others, and Chaos transformed back into himself about 10 feet from the others.
"Time to split," said Chaos. "But not before... I want mud pies!"
Chaos transformed into an octopus, and a mud pie appeared in each tentacle. Chaos flung them at each of the other students, and transformed back.
"Game, set and match," laughed Chaos, flicking a crumb off his shoulder.

OoC: That has to be the most random thing I've ever written. So random it was funny.

"That is disgusting. This pie stuff hurts..." A huge pile of sugary mallow moved and fell off Starfire. "Im back now and ready to fight."

Starfire expanded his powers into his hands as he thought of several pies: he summoned stinky cheese pies and a horrid liver pie. He cast them out unto his opponents and struck them soundly on the faces.

The stink erached their nostrils and choked the ones who were struck and MoC yelled out, "Marshmallow pie!" He threw it at Starfire but the lythe elf responded by flipping backward and successfully dodging the flying pie.

"HA!" SPLAT! Starfire landed back on his feet and triumphantly straightened up, only to be struck in the face with a banana cream pie thrown by their teacher. Starfire licked the creamy substance off his lips and brushed the rest off of his stained tunic.

Starfire summoned a chocolate pie and flung it at Aurora and it flew straight at her spttless form...

*ooc: i hope ur ready to get dirty too R-s (hahaha), and i have a question. Is SS still involved in this fray? i just wondered...

OOC: Lol, I aint out just yet!

(Picking up from right before I summoned the gas and fire pies) BiC: Tokumaru, still airborne but beginning to fall yelled: “I want Horse Radish and Rotting Meat!” Tokumaru landed on the ground with a graceful and light touch and threw the Horse Radish pie. “Pie number one!” The spicy pie hit the other students with a large splat, and naturally, a little of the Horse Radish went up their noses. With Horse Radish being spicy, it cleared Tokumaru’s opponent’s sinuses and nose paths, making his second pie a perfect ploy. “Go! Rotting Meat!” To horridly smelling pie flung through the air and splattered over the other students who, still in shock from the Horse Radish, were hit. With their noses cleared, they got a full blast of the God-forsaken smell.

“Heh heh…” said Tokumaru cockily. “Try that on for-” At that moment, Kaid and Chaos ran behind Tokumaru at godlike speeds and nailed him with several assorted pies. “Augh!” yelled Tokumaru has he held his hand up to summon more. “I want-” Before he could accomplish his request, another flurry of crusted delicacies were flung upon him by the rage-stricken Nai and Starfire. Before he knew it, his angry opponents were circled around him. “I want…” they all said at the same time, afterwards naming their pies. “Oh……… crap…” Said Tokumaru as he was nearly suffocated underneath all of the pies that were thrown upon him. “That… *cough*” said Tokumaru as he coughed up a piece of hardened dirt from a mud pie, “was painful…”

OOC: I think that that was an appropriate way to say my final post in this thread, no?

LOL I should've given you guys a few more rounds to write. You sound like you're starting to get into it now! Are you all having fun? If so, I'll start another pie battle in the STG.

And, just for Jon06-

BiC: Aurora watched in amusement as Starfire flung a chocolate cream pie straight at her. She hadn't meant to throw the pie she had summoned earlier, but was startled by the sudden intrusion of a message by her own teacher. Starfire just happened to be standing under her at the time.

At least he has good taste, she thought, as the creamy confection flew toward her. Sadly, Starfire was denied his revenge as the summoner focused her chi, stopping the pie a mere inch from her face. "For me?!" She dipped a finger into the frothy, chocolate sprinkled topping. "Mmmm, chocolate meringue, my favorite! Starfire, you really shouldn't have." She delicately lifted a piece out of the sugary pastry. "Unfortunately, I can't very well eat it all myself. Here," she watched the elf's face fall as her eyes met his mischieviously, "why don't you help me finish it?"

The remaining pie did an about-face, and rocketed back toward its creator. The elf made a few admirable dodges, but seemed at a loss when the sweet missle followed his movements, as she sat nonchalantly, munching her chocolaty snack. She caught him squarely in the face, right after someone else landed a mud pie in the back of his head.

She was glad to see most of her charges laughing and enjoying the game almost as much as she.

OoC: NEVER MESS WITH TEACHER! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! :cool:

Remember, everybody who hasn't turned in both posts, you only have until Sunday. That's day after tomorrow!

"I want to kick your ass, but, I want a pie filled with knives will suffice." I said, as the pie I asked for appeard in my right hand. I pulled my hand back and tossed the pie forward at Tokumaru, but the pie didn't leave my hand. It stayed there, stuck on my palm. I turned my hand upside down, but the pie didn't fall from my hand. I looked up at Aurora, and she was shaking her head. "Do not cause physical pain to the other students Nai." she said sternly, snapping her fingers. The pie in my hand evaporated into nothing, and I stared up at her. As mad as I was, I nodded, understood, and respected her judgement.
"I want a cream pie." I said. Aurora nodded and smiled. O nodded back and tossed the pie at Tokumaru.

He currently was facing the opposite direction of the pie I had thrown at him, and he turned around, saw the pie, and cried out "Oh sh-" the pie slapped him in the face and muffled the "-it!!!" making it unheard. He wiped the pie from his face, revealing an intimidating face. "I want glue pie." he said, grinning now. I looked a bit confused, and awaited his throw. He turned around, and I figured he obviously wasn't going to throw it at me, so I turned around and looked for someone else to throw a pie at.

All of a sudden I hear a loud *SPLAT* noise, and I turn around, Tomuraku stood there smiling, no pie in hand. I was covered in glue. "I want a feather pie!" he called out, and tossed it at me. "Ha ha ha!" he laughed pointing at me. I looked down at myself, and shook my head "I look like a cucco." I said angrily. I looked up at Tomuraku, just as a chocolate pie slapped across his face. I looked over at who threw it, and saw Starfire smiling. I gave 'em a thumbs up and said "I want a sardine pie!" It appeared in my hand, and I spun around once and aggressively threw the pie at Starfire. "Ow!" he called out, looking at me confused. "I just helped you!" he called out.
"I have no allies." I said grinning. Starfire looked pissed, and dodged some other pies thrown at him.

"I want apple pie!" I shouted. I quickly turned around and saw Chaos.
"Hey!" I shouted smiling, and smacked the pie right in his face. I laughed, and he wiped the pie from his face, and ran around me to attack Tomuraku...

Kaid smirked at the witty summoner. Using a students weapon against him, if were to face her, he would need to rember that. "I want a blueberry pie." A hot tin filled with blueberries and a bread like crust appeard in his left hand. He had never had pie before, it wasnt something a thief ate. He dipped his finger in the luscious pastry and swallowed. It tasted good he was almost sad he had to throw it away, but he did, and it hit the wall. Surprising since he was a master of marksmanship. "I want an apple pie." Another of the tasty pies plopped into Kaid's hand. He threw it at Nai it hit him in the face, but Kaid acouldn't help but chuckle at the site of Nai covered in the apples and crust.

"I wonder if I could do that. I want a mince meat pie." Kaid took the pie and placed it in his bow as he would an arrow. He wasn't thinking and fired it into his hand, he heard Aurora laugh from the other end of the room. "I want a banana cream pie." Again the pie appeared in his hand and he turned his bow as if he were to fire an arrow into his chest. Kaid let the pie fly, it hit Starfire in the waist and jsut as it did, he was covered in pies. From apple to mud, all of the flavors covered him, but he had an ace up his sleeve his speed. After all he could run quite fast and was extremely agile. He ran all over the rooom dodging pies left and right.

"I would enjoy having a cherry pie appear in my left hand." Nothing happened, Kaid was entertained. "I want a cherry pie." The pie appeared in a flash, the elf glanced at his summoner teacher. "You love the specifics huh?" She only grinned in reply. Kaid threw it into Tomuraku face, another hit. He might not need to keep this up for long.

OOC: hope you enjoy it since you twisted my arm into it. Darn you Ryorinin-san!

"HA!" Starfire knew the battle was ending in seconds, so he waited until the perfect time...

All the other students stopped and looked at Aurora, waiting for the end, but the veteren elf hunter believes "its not over till its over..." He summoned pies right and left, thrusting towards Toku and finging towards Kaid, laying Chaos out flat with a oatmeal cream pie and slopping a hot meat pie on Nai. All the students were shocked by Starfire's last minute assault and were all taken by surprise.

Starfire continued his merciless pounding with assorted sweet, saucy, and smelly pies. Nai lept to one side dodging a pea pod pie, only to be slapped in the face by a crunchy cheese-y-it-s a pie. Tokumaru summoned a apple crisp pie but his pie was stuck mid-flight by a moon beam pie and both hit him in the chest. Both hit the ground with a thud and Starfire moved on to other prey.

Kaid looked around at his companion students and saw they were all grounded. He summoned his final pie, but had no chance to throw as a thunder berry pie hit him and began popping. The small berries exploded like large pop-rock candies and were strong enough to sting but not really hurt. The elf brushed the pie from his face and a moon beam pie struck him immediately, laying him out too.

"And thats game..." Starfire stood over his fallen comrades and grinned...
