260 — Olympics mingle
[ It is a gorgeous day down here at the bottom of the sea and what better day to have an Olympics! The obstacle course is set up, the towels are fluffed, the medals have been polished to a high sheen and every orange within sight has been sliced.

Okay. Maybe not every orange. A lot of them. Enough to fuel a whole prison full of athletes, so athlete away! We can't waste all these oranges! ]

	You don't say. [ Not as good as the odds of Haruka noticing how much weight's being put behind that foil and trying to jerk hers out and around in an attempt to score. But hey, stranger things have happened. If you're pressing hard enough before she moves, who knows? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good strategy. Especially since it works. Artemis sees the point land. The padding keeps her from feeling much of anything, but she gets an instant frown and a slash with her own weapon.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ And there's a point on Haruka, who got complacent thinking they'd disengage once her touch got through. She should have known better than to think any of the usual rules of fencing applied.

So after it's sunk in that yes, that is the tip of a foil sweeping across her chest, she grins and worms her own weapon free. ] Tied again.

[ Best out of three this time, too? The bot doesn't seem to know what to do with this match any more. ]

	[Who needs medals? This is more fun. She also don't know the proper way to do it anyway.] Looks like. [Back to some circling, sword at the ready. Things are interesting at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-24 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka circles too. That hit has her thinking she's going to want to take her time more with this opponent. She needs a good, clean opening, to avoid that counterstrike... ] Too bad I didn't see archery listed. You could have really cleaned up there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-03-26 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I can hold my own in more than archery. [Don't think you've got this yet!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-27 02:41 am UTC (link)
	No kidding. [ This is a straightforward thrust. But it's really super fast. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-03-31 12:26 am UTC (link)
	[Artemis' reaction is impressively fast too, but not fast enough to dodge without a bit of a graze along her ribs. If they didn't have protective gear and special swords this could be getting messy.] Guess you can say the same. [She slashes back out once she gets her footing back.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-31 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Best out of three again? [ She's not just saying that because she scored a second touch. It'd have a nice poetic justice to it given their last competition. Here, have a parry. She's not looking to close in for the kill anytime soon again, however. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-06 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Don't other people need to give it a try? [Not that she dropped the sword or anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-08 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Then you'll have to be quick. [ Making up the rules does make it hard to know when to stop, however, so whenever Artemis feels satisfied Haruka wouldn't press further. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-12 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm dating a speedster, quick is what I know. [And she'll make her point with her point as she lunges forward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-12 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds fun. [ Haruka brings up her sword, but though she knocks it away she doesn't quite manage before the tip of Artemis's grazes her shoulder. Nice. Speaking of fun, now it's a tie. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-14 02:50 am UTC (link)
	[Instead of enjoying the touch, she keeps pushing in toward the other girl. Let's do this.] He has his moments. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-15 12:43 am UTC (link)
	[ You're on. Haruka blocks that sword and tries to force Artemis away with hers. All-out attacks for the finale are your style, huh? ] To keep an active girl like you from getting bored, he better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-16 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Well, he's a teammate so he's got some moves of his own. But don't tell him I said that. [She keeps him on a steady diet of fond insults, okay? At least for now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-16 04:06 am UTC (link)
	My lips are sealed. [ You're tough. Would a feint leading into a jab from below work? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-18 04:11 am UTC (link)
	[It would if she weren't being a little more cautious right now. She has to be on her A-game with you after all. It nearly gets her, but she manages to spring back just in time, but it puts her off her footing. She slashes out a bit wildly in an effort to keep any follow-up jabs at bay.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-18 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka will take that caution as a compliment. It doesn't keep her from relentlessly pursuing Artemis, however, turning her shoulders to present a smaller target as she attacks again. Then again, that's all the concession she's making to defense. Maybe you'll be lucky. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-19 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	[Hey, it's all skill! Okay, maybe it's a little luck. She manages to push through when she sees an opening, but she's also leaving herself wide open as she does so.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-20 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	[ And here comes Haruka's foil for that opening. She even executes an actual fencing thrust instead of freestyle. Touché? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 03:12 am UTC (link)
	[How often to sword touches tie? This seems a lot like one.] Huh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-22 03:31 am UTC (link)
	[ Wow, that sure is a sword against her shoulder. And her sword against Artemis, too. Haruka stares and then dips her head to laugh. ] ....That's what we get for choosing freestyle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-22 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe it's time to call it a draw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-04-22 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. [ Withdrawing her sword, she tucks it under one arm to offer Artemis her hand. ] Good match. You should open a school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
