Round 1, part 1 commences...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Dullone598 (1:44:22 PM):   The crowd seems moderately pumped up as the matches are about to begin, although an argument has already broken out over the music for Wilson's match with Jimmy Evans.<br/>Dullone598 (1:45:08 PM):   (Ajoxer, you may call the figurative coin flip.  1 is heads, 2 is tails.)<br/>HomerinNYC (1:47:03 PM):   " Heads!"<br/>HomerinNYC (1:47:31 PM):   (Sorry about delay, cleaning up after lunch.)<br/>Dullone598 (1:47:35 PM):   //roll-dice1-sides2<br/>OnlineHost (1:47:35 PM):   Dullone598 rolled 1 2-sided die:  1<br/>Dullone598 (1:47:41 PM):   (A winner is you!)<br/>Dullone598 (1:48:04 PM):   Jimmy looks quite disgusted as Beethoven blares over the speakers.<br/>Dullone598 (1:48:19 PM):   The crowd cheers, though not so much because they like the music.<br/>HomerinNYC (1:48:55 PM):   " Classical music will never get old!" Wilson proclaims with raised fist.<br/>circlmastr (1:49:12 PM):   House eyes the sound system with a tipsy glance.  Addressing one of the speakers: "Say, d'y'know.. what's it called... Strangers in the Night?  Can ya play that one?"<br/>HomerinNYC (1:50:25 PM):   " We're not having this argument yet again, House!" Wilson says, still grinning and waving to the crowd.<br/>Dullone598 (1:50:36 PM):   House gets his request for his fight, mainly because his opponent doesn't care.<br/>Dullone598 (1:51:17 PM):   With a theatrical sigh, Jimmy takes his position opposite Wilson, a cocky grin forming on his face as he takes his stance.  Some time later, Fitzgerald climbs into the arena opposite House...<br/>Dullone598 (1:51:33 PM):   (You will begin with 2 empty hexes between you and your victim.)<br/>circlmastr (1:52:01 PM):   House, purporting to be too drunk to notice Wilson, slaps the top of the speaker in a moment of inspiration.  "Oh!  What is it... play it, play the one... What's it called, it goes 'la deedee da, deedee da... my pretty one...' "<br/>Dullone598 (1:52:47 PM):   Whoever's in the south booth is now ignoring him.  Pointedly.<br/>circlmastr (1:52:50 PM):   (I just raised my Athletics to 3 so I could clear 3 hexes, and now you move it to 2? heh)<br/>Dullone598 (1:53:02 PM):   (Sorry?  It's not like you can't move around during the match.)<br/>circlmastr (1:53:27 PM):   (Ah well)<br/>Dullone598 (1:53:34 PM):   (You'll be glad of it if you ever have to fight Diablo)<br/>circlmastr (1:54:20 PM):   After a few more ignored requests, House stumbles toward the arena and nearly falls over trying to get into the ring.  Especially embarrassing if the ring is just painted on the floor or what-have-you, but not good either way.<br/>Dullone598 (1:54:38 PM):   Fortunately, the arena is set into the floor, so falling over pretty much does the trick.<br/>HomerinNYC (1:55:12 PM):   Wilson smiles as he steps onto the platform, bowing quickly before coming up into a similar stance. " Another Capoeira fighter, eh? Fun." He grins as he dances from foot to foot, and then leaps forward with a kick.<br/>Dullone598 (1:55:24 PM):   Fitzgerald looks slightly disgusted with House's behavior, but apparently he knows that his opponent is 2-1 because he doesn't quite relax.<br/>Dullone598 (1:55:34 PM):   (Round 1 commences.  You may declare yourself.)<br/>HomerinNYC (1:55:35 PM):   5/7+1/2.<br/>circlmastr (1:55:37 PM):   He gives his Special Forces opponent a glassy-eyed look.  "Uh... which of you is my opponent?  The other, the other two have to wait...."<br/>circlmastr (1:56:16 PM):   (Let's go Short Kick, 6/5/3)<br/>Dullone598 (1:57:57 PM):   Fitzgerald twists forward into a spin, launching the back of his hand towards House's face in a textbook Spec-Ops manuever (Spinning Backfist on 3).<br/>Dullone598 (1:58:20 PM):   If you choose to interrupt, his soak is 3.<br/>circlmastr (1:59:07 PM):   I'll abort to Deflecting Punch.  5/5/3 and I get my 3 Block soak on his attack.<br/>Dullone598 (1:59:29 PM):   Heh.  Then you may roll your damage (and that makes your soak 6 total, correct?)<br/>OnlineHost (1:59:38 PM):   circlmastr rolled 2 10-sided dice:  5 2<br/>circlmastr (1:59:40 PM):   Aye<br/>circlmastr (1:59:43 PM):   And crap<br/>Dullone598 (2:00:51 PM):   //roll-dice2-sides10<br/>OnlineHost (2:00:51 PM):   Dullone598 rolled 2 10-sided dice:  3 8<br/>Dullone598 (2:01:17 PM):   House whiffs, leaving Fitzgerald to score a glancing blow only.<br/>Dullone598 (2:01:56 PM):   As Wilson steps forward, Jimmy smirks, before falling back and rolling away (interrupts with Drunken Monkey Roll on 8, ends up behind Wilson with 1 hex between).<br/>circlmastr (2:02:06 PM):   House puts a hand on whatever got glanced.  "Ow, what was that for, mate?"<br/>Dullone598 (2:02:23 PM):   (Now, Dr. House would've knocked him out right there.)<br/>HomerinNYC (2:02:28 PM):   Wilson flips around, grinning. " My, we are a fast one, aren't we?"<br/>circlmastr (2:02:35 PM):   (Hey, I'm still plaing drunk)<br/>circlmastr (2:02:38 PM):   *playing<br/>circlmastr (2:02:50 PM):   (Besides, Dr. House has a cane to aid knocking-out-ness.)<br/>Dullone598 (2:03:34 PM):   Fitzgerald chuckles, but doesn't let up.  Meanwhile, Jimmy just smirks.  "No 'we' about it, tough guy."<br/>Dullone598 (2:03:46 PM):   (boy is he wrong.  Round 2 commences, you may declare)<br/>HomerinNYC (2:04:38 PM):   Wilson grins, and spins forward with another kick, moving with the beat of the music to act a bit quicker than he might otherwise. Another Forward, 5+1/7/2.<br/>circlmastr (2:05:29 PM):   House stumbles back and segues it into a Backflip Kick (5/7/2 back)<br/>Dullone598 (2:08:14 PM):   Fitzgerald ducks into a crouch to sweep House's legs out from under him, only to be forced to defend himself from the assault (Foot Sweep on 2, aborted to Block for a total soak of 5)<br/>OnlineHost (2:08:32 PM):   circlmastr rolled 2 10-sided dice:  6 2<br/>Dullone598 (2:09:03 PM):   Jimmy steps forward, leaping up to meet Wilson, but is just too slow (Double-Hit Knee on 5.  His soak is 3)<br/>OnlineHost (2:09:31 PM):   HomerinNYC rolled 4 10-sided dice:  7 10 5 9<br/>HomerinNYC (2:09:33 PM):   Whoo.<br/>Dullone598 (2:10:42 PM):   His eyes cross, but he doesn't quite stagger...<br/>Dullone598 (2:10:46 PM):   //roll-dice4-sides10<br/>OnlineHost (2:10:46 PM):   Dullone598 rolled 4 10-sided dice:  2 10 4 9<br/>Dullone598 (2:11:13 PM):   ...leaving him to smack his knee into Wilson's chest and chin, though the damage is minimal.  He should really go to the gym.<br/>Dullone598 (2:11:45 PM):   (Round 3 is go.  You may declare.)<br/>HomerinNYC (2:12:21 PM):   Wilson narrows his eyes, and goes in for another violent kick to the solar plexus, focusing on striking hard this time. 5/7+1/2<br/>circlmastr (2:12:58 PM):   House lands in a handstand and does a Roundhouse kick a la Morpheus from the Matrix sequel, just because it looks pretty cool and will hopefully catch Fitzy by surprise.  (3/9/2)<br/>Dullone598 (2:14:43 PM):   Fitzgerald is moving forward almost at the same time, launching into another rapid spin, but House is just barely faster (Spinning Knuckle on 3, House wins the Dexterity tie.  His soak is 3)<br/>Dullone598 (2:15:33 PM):   Jimmy actually is faster for once, stepping in to interrupt Wilson with a quick kick to the shin (Short on 6)<br/>OnlineHost (2:15:41 PM):   circlmastr rolled 6 10-sided dice:  5 7 6 2 3 1<br/>HomerinNYC (2:15:44 PM):   Soak of 3.<br/>circlmastr (2:15:46 PM):   Gah<br/>Dullone598 (2:15:46 PM):   //roll-dice2-sides2<br/>OnlineHost (2:15:47 PM):   Dullone598 rolled 2 2-sided dice:  1 2<br/>Dullone598 (2:16:03 PM):   Jimmy flubs it, stumbling.<br/>Dullone598 (2:16:24 PM):   (Oh man, not pretty)<br/>Dullone598 (2:16:34 PM):   //roll-dice8-sides10<br/>OnlineHost (2:16:34 PM):   Dullone598 rolled 8 10-sided dice:  10 4 6 6 4 1 5 7<br/>HomerinNYC (2:16:47 PM):   Not NEARLY as bad as it coulda been.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:16:58 PM):   His soak's still 3, yeah?<br/>Dullone598 (2:17:01 PM):   (If you nail one damage roll then botch the other, do you still suffer the penalty?)<br/>Dullone598 (2:17:03 PM):   (Yes.)<br/>OnlineHost (2:17:05 PM):   HomerinNYC rolled 5 10-sided dice:  8 6 6 2 5<br/>HomerinNYC (2:17:09 PM):   3 damage again.<br/>circlmastr (2:17:18 PM):   (I would imagine so)<br/>Dullone598 (2:17:41 PM):   Fitzgerald tags House right on the chin (3 damage), but then stumbles trying to deliver the second hit across his temple.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:17:45 PM):   "Punk." Wilson grins, and jackhammers his foot into the other Capoeira fighter's chest.<br/>circlmastr (2:17:57 PM):   (Remind me what the penalty is?)<br/>Dullone598 (2:18:02 PM):   (-2 speed I believe)<br/>HomerinNYC (2:18:26 PM):   Wasn't it three?
