The faun doesn't take too much note of the others fighting nominally on her side, bouncing up and down on her hooves, getting her blood circulating faster through her veins for a prospect of a good fight. She had a rictus grin painted on, and she'd begun to beat her sword on her shield as her own percussion backup. One by one, the others do as they will, whether it be baiting the crowd with shows of affection, or shouting, or attempts at tactics. Kalliope was- it wasn't that she SCORNED that. It's just that, once the fighting urge took the relatively slender faun, she wasn't thinking in those terms. That, that was not sufficiently punk. She kept her gaze locked on the far line, grinning and starting to hum under her breath. She never quite knew what song she was going to sing, not exactly, and she never quite sang the same thing twice, though sometimes words or a melody was the same. It was the spirit of the thing- you couldn't unwind it from who her temporary allies were, who her enemies were, where they were, the feel of the crowd, it all coalesced into an etheric vibe that she had to catch in her heart.<br/><br/>When the spear flew into the enemy ranks, Kay had that grasp on the mise-en-scene. She took a deep breath, letting the shouts of the little priest or whatever she was die down before she erupted into her own bellow. The weapon slamming into her shield took on a distinct tempo, accompanied by the beat of hooves, and soon by the crooning, piercing howl of an alto faun's voice ripping from one side of the arena to the other:<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iymtpePP8I8">"HEY! HO!  LET'S GO!<br/><br/>HEY! HO! LET'S GO!"</a><br/><br/>Not the catchiest of lyrics, but it arrived in the air like a punch to the eardrums. Fancy words could come later. It was time to get stuck in.<br/><br/><br/>((Staying where I mentioned last post for now.m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/632069">http://orokos.com/roll/632069</a>mis a 19 on init.
