(...What?)

[Zaleramancer]

(That's cheating!)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

You only have one weapon at the moment, words. So you sift through your mind and load the perfect one into your mouth. The boy, Malcolm, is halfway out of the water when you use is. You force a look of surprise on your face, then fire it off, just load enough for him to hear.

"Armand?"

Instantly Malcolm whips around, hand outstretched, unleashing a gout of flames at nothing. This is all the chance Amanda needs. She spins her yo-yo in the air and it seems to drag the air along with it. 1, 2, 3, times it rotates, then she lets the air pressure go. It surges forward, striking him in the back and lifting him off his feet and cutting a wave through the fountain. He tumbles in the air, but tucks and lands rolling. He's righted himself in no time.

But doesn't have time to dodge Armand, who appears to leap from the empty air, knife glinting in the sun. He slices down while Malcolm raises his arm to block. It guts through his coat like butter, leaving a gash on his arm. But Malcolm's other arm is already moving. As his open palm strike hits Armand square in the stomach, Malcolm lets out more fire, pushing Armand, thankfully, into the fountain. His hand, still on fire, he brings up yo cauterize his wound. He only lets out a whimper and her sears his own flesh shut, but you know he wanted to scream.

It's then the Red turns his gaze on you.  He reaches into his pocket with his good hand and pulls out what looks like a small rubber ball. "Clever little sneak," he says, tossing it at you. You duck out of the way, but the ball rebounds off the back wall and clips your shoulder. The ball is hot, very hot, and would have scalded you if not for your shirt. But it doesn't stop bouncing. In fact, it looks like it's only speeding up. And it may just be a trick of your eyes, but it looks like it's starting to glow a bit more with each rebound.

Armand is up again in the fountain, a hole in his shirt and a nasty looking burn to show for his trouble. Amanda lets her weapon rotate in the air. The Ball bounces ever faster and hotter around you.

>COMMAND?

(During Strife, you may issue command to all members of blue team participating in the battle.)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 (Looking for items/weapons/tools to use/fight with, and using them to my advantage?)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Taking the time before the battle begins in earnest, you glance around the room. unfortunately, the area seems pretty devoid of makeshift weapons. On the plus side, you could take cover behind the statues, and there was that fountain in the middle of the room.

You eyes go wide. The device Marion gave you is still lying right there.

>COMMANDS?

[Zaleramancer]

>Command: Poke it with your shoe. If it doesn't explode, pick it up.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

>Confirmation of prior suggested objective.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Fearing for the devices safety, you begin to move toward it. Malcolm, however, yaks this as his cue to get this party started. He shoots off a succession of fireballs at you as you break into a sprint, kicking the device in front of you. It and you slide behind one of the red pillars as fire explodes behind you.

You scoop up the device. It looks like an older model of the weird hand computer that Marion was wearing in the void. A keyboard on the forearm, screen on the back of the hand. Seeing as it did not explode, you put it on. It plays a little chime, and the screen lights up. On it is a single document, entitled "The Notes and Observations of Marion Webster." Nothing else. You get the feeling that this will be a great help, if you live long enough to read it.

>COMMANDS?

(Pleas remember that you can also issue commands to Armand and Amanda when Strife occurs.)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

(Just realized I'm going to have to think up AT LEAST 108 different classes and domains. At least. wow...)

(Also, did everyone lose interest?)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

>Command: Read document.
>Command to Armand: Circle behind opponent and stab him from behind.
>Command to Amanda: Use wind to distract opponent.

[Zaleramancer]

(Slow day on the forums.)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

You decide to take a scan of the document. You open it up, and up comes a few options: Self scan, General Notes, History,  Ally Dossier, Enemy  Dossier. You think back to what you heard Malcolm saying, and open Ally Dossier. You search through and, sure enough, you find him. Malcolm Harrier, rash and arrogant, never believed anything that she said, rude in general. You see "Combat Potential" beside his name, and open that one.

Mage Class: Power without Control.
+
Domain: Fire
Result: Able to shoot fire at extremely high temperatures, but can only create it. Cannot control his flames once they have left his hand.

Weapon: Rubber Ball

As if on cue, the ball slams into the pillar beside you, leaving a black scorch mark from where it landed. That thing is defiantly getting hotter. You could feel it.

Meanwhile, Amanda unleashes a column of compressed air at her opponent from across the fountain and Armand moves out of the way, vanishing as soon as he begins moving. The wake he leaves is noting compared to Amanda's attack, which again parts the water like the red sea.

But Malcolm Was expecting this, and throws his, letting loses with a blast of his own. The fire consumes the wind and keeps moving as Amanda dives for cover. The flame strikes and sets alight the ogre statue behind her.

Armand comes up behind and lashes out with his blade, but Malcolm moves at the last second, getting only a small cut on the cheek. He tries to strike Armand like he did last time, but he moves to avoid the strike this time before grabbing Malcolm's burnt arm and squeezing. The boy lets out a pained yell, but before either can go further the ball flies between there heads, and the dodge in opposite directions to avoid it. They face each other, and Malcolm smirks.

"Can't believe you tried the same trick twice. No wonder you guys always lose."

You hear something in that voice, again the words leap out at you, relaying their true meaning and feelings. And what you hear behind that taunt is simply:

You Have No Way To Win. Even if I die I still win!

What could that mean....?

>COMMANDS?

[Philote]

>Command: Utilize Words(Strategy Creation)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

What sort of strategy?



You are currently behind the farther away right pillar, It is on fire.

Amanda standing to he right of the statue at the back. It is also on fire.

Malcolm and Armand are on the left side, standing in front of the leftmost statue, facing one another.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

>Command: Analyze capability for...capture? (not death, but still, defeat)

[Philote]

I thought I just gave command for possible action for him to take

Use his expertise in words to instruct the others into utilizing their powers better.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I answered that question, I think.

Perhaps some plan to utilize the attacks of the group for some trickery rather than outright attacks.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Sounds good to me.
