[b][u]"...Never,"[/u][/b] [i]The knightess murmured, her head turning to Jess' location as she circled her opponent silently.[/i]
English
-
[i]Jessica grabbed three throwing knives from her belt, proceeding to throw them at her in a wide arc. Like a Genji Right Click. [/i]
-
[i]Octavia spun and kneeled, as only one of the knives slammed into her left shoulder. She gagged in pain, rising up and allowing the blood to flow from the wound as she slowly approached.[/i]
-
[i]Jessica saw her advantage and took it, sheathing her blade again and starting to throw knives left and right. [/i]

Edited by Orn: 3/1/2017 12:04:12 AM[i]Eyes widening, Octavia suddenly dropped to the ground in a dodging motion, before adrenaline began bursting through her. She pushed herself up immediately, jolting left and right as she continued to use her left arm as a literal shield - meanwhile, she was getting closer and closer..[/i]
-
[i]...So Jess walked farther and farther, soon drawing her blade when Octavia got near. [/i]
-
[i]Sprinting towards Jessica, Octavia began to deliver a flurry of slashes with her sword, energy fueling her to do so - a slash to Jess's legs, a sudden stab to her right hand, another slash to her left...it was all non-lethal, though.[/i]
-
[i]"One thousand cuts couldn't hold me down..." Jess said, stepping back with each swing. [/i]
-
[u][b]"...Will two thousand?"[/b][/u] [i]Octavia muttered, as she continued to swing rapidly. She was beginning to push Jess into the concrete wall.[/i]
-
[i]"That would just help me~" Jess happily sang, lunging forwards and slashing at Octavia's throat with seemingly no regard for her own health. [/i]
-
[b][u]"...God, I'm actually beginning to like you a little,"[/u][/b] [i]Octavia smiled underneath her helm, before she stopped swinging and held her sword close to her chest, initiating a blade lock. She continued pushing Jess into the wall, awaiting for the woman to draw a knife.[/i]
-
[i]Rather than a knife, Jess kicked Octavia in the vàgina. Like, tip of her shoe was just slammed into it to hurt the sensitive skin. [/i]
-
[i]Octavia yelled out, falling to the ground but quickly pushing herself back. She rose up, shaking a little as if embarrassed. [/i]
-
[i]"Coön kick, bltch!" Jessica said with a smirk, before she spun around and slashed across Octavia's torso from the left side. [/i]
-
[b][i]"Why, you-"[/i][/b] [i]Octavia suddenly swung, spinning back from the stronger blow as her sword collided with Jess'. She groaned, charging back and thrusting into Jess' stomach.[/i]
-
[i]Jess executed a spin in the opposite direction, slapping the side if her sword against that of Octavia to send her blade rearing away, before she made a stabbing attack into her Solar Plexus. Obviously she cut her hit off, as to not impale Octavia's organs. "Think I won, sugar." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I can still...[/u][/b] [b][u]...Goddamnit."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia lowered her right hand, which had jumped to the final knife at her side. She nodded, taking off her helmet to reveal her facial appearance at last. Octavia appeared to have been a younger woman - at least in her mid-twenties, with long curly brunette hair, light olive skin, and an angular jawline. Her eyes were a light lime green, as a smirk crossed her tired, slightly red face.[/i] [b][u]"...So...what will I be doing?"[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Well, first you're healing us two. Bring me to a medical centre." Derek: "...Mother of god..."[/i]
-
[b][u]"First? Heh, fine... And what's he on about? And...medical centre?"[/u][/b] [i]Octavia questioned, nodding over to Derek. She was genuinely confused about this, though - medical centre?[/i]
-
[i]"You know, a place where people can help you heal up?" Derek: "Pay no attention to me, I'm just... Surprised, Jess did that." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I'm unfamiliar with this shit..."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia sighed, shrugging.[/i] [b][u]" You want me to carry you there, I suppose?"[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I have legs, just follow me," Jessica said as she started to walk. [/i]
-
[i]Octavia slowly stumbled after Jessica, blood continuing to drip from her leg and sides as her brother only sighed and left the courtyard, leaving Derek alone.[/i]
-
[i]"So, Octavia - Tell me about yourself." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Alright, fine.."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia was silent after a moment once Jess had spoken, but eventually broke the silence and began speaking.[/i] [b][u]"Used to live in a different place from this - the Peaks, I believed it was called. Very medieval, simplistic place. Never got used to it, since my parents moved towards the central landmass on the planet. I took up a life of farming alongside my brother, and...[/u][/b] [b][u]...Well, things didn't turn out well. Four years ago, my parents were killed by bandits. The homestead that we lived upon was...decimated. Burned to the ground. It...wasn't pleasant. Afterwards, we set off for a short while as vigilantes. Then...well, we ended up here."[/u][/b]

[i]"Damn, I'm... Sorry. I guess the other guy's your brother?" [/i]
