FFOS6: Zio

Zio looked a bit bewildered, and slightly stunned, after the impact of the mop against his cranium caused his vision to blur for a few minutes. He had ducked into a dark corner to wait for his vision to return, and now that it had, it was time to cause some more trouble.

As he dashed down the hallway (lifting a kid and tossing him into the fountain for kicks), Zio spotted something odd on the floor. It looked a bit like a Dimate, or even a Trimate, but he couldn't be quite sure.

He leaned down to pick it up. Uncapping the bottle, he sniffed it a bit. "Odd. It smells a lot like Dimate, too." With a shrug, he tossed back the contents of the bottle, gulping it all down in one sip. "Blech, it tastes like Dimate, too. But I can already feel the pain the back of my head fading. At least it wasn't poison."

As if to interrupt his thought process, he heard the disgusted cries of a girl coming from the east. He turned to gaze in that direction; a girl, covered in vomit, was raving furiously about something.

With a weasly grin, Zio trapsed up to the girl.

"Excuse me, young miss," he addressed her. "Is something wrong?"

"YES!" she screamed, stamping her foot against the ground. "That... that THIEF spewed all over me! I'm a mess! Disgusting!"

"Well, perhaps I can help you get cleaned up, yes?" Zio asked the girl.

"Oh, would you? That'd be great!" she said, a smile returning to her face.

"Why, certainly..."

With that, Zio grabbed the girl by her clothing and flung her through the air into the fountain, chuckling to himself as her head crashed into the stone structure; bits and pieces of concrete falling atop herself an a swordsman who suddenly found his way into the pool as well.

"Well, at least she's clean now."

Locke Cole - FFOS6

Sephiroth666: you can only use an ability once per round. That means you can only use one of those counters.

Sorry if I sound like the rules police tonight.

Duran - FFOS6

...Crap. I guess I'll have to justify all of those votes with something, if this round is ending soon. I'll be recasting them, in that case, which means I don't get Julius' Counter.

------

Duran's unconciousness was not a dreamless one; rather, it was ridden by nightmares. Shadows and dark shades rose out of the ground, trying to sap his life energy--trying to consume him! His arms could barely move--they felt like lead, and his feet seemed to be stuck firmly to the floor. However, Duran only grew more furious with each attack he recieved, as if it were an insult. His rage turned his vision red, as he found that his anger broke the bonds to his arms and legs. Screaming madly, he lifted up his blade and drove into the ground, in a mockery of his father's Eruption Sword Tech.

However, it was just as effective. The wraiths and shadows screamed and toppled to the ground, burning with white fire. And as the fell, their hoods came off. Duran recoiled in horror.

It was Aunt Stella! And his little sister as well? Both of them seemed lifeless... He glanced at the other corpses, only to find to his horror that they were normal people. He recognized some of the faces from the Tournament, as well... Fear overwhelmed him, and he backed away from the dead corpses. He then bumped into something behind him, and a large, shadowy hand grasped his neck and lifted him up to face him.

Duran gasped in shock. Koren?!

"Too bad, little warrior..."

Koren's grip tightened. Duran felt his vision go hazy as his life was being choked away... and then noticed that Koren's face was now Yume's.

"Because you didn't try hard enough."

Yume then snapped his neck.

******

Duran's eyes snapped open as he gasped for breath, panting heavily from the residual fear that the nightmare had created.

What...was...that?

-----------

OOC: ...This round ends a lot later that I thought it would. Too bad I can't take advantage of that.

Merton Dew
The Main Moogle

As he was walking along, Mog discovered a nice, round rock. Perfect for throwing. And that's just what he did. His throw was answered with a loud "Ow!"

"Well, that's enough excitement for one day, kupo!" Mog said to himself. He went into an empty classroom and sat down for some much-needed rest.

1 A-Vote on Edge (gotta watch out for those flying rocks)

FFOS6: Zio

After Zio's brief moment of arrogance from duping the poor girl, he continued trapsing through the corridors of the buildling.

He had noticed many soldiers crumpled a long the pathways; some young, some in their teens. The war seemed to have ravaged their precious school. That thought brought a smile to his face. Zio kicked one man that was on the ground, adding to his suffering.

Then once more, Zio saw the familiar face of the blue Motavian come into view. The very perturbed black mage charged the blue man.

Gryz, always quick to react, instinctively grabbed his axe and swung it in a powerful, downward motion toward Zio.

Zio was prepared; he dodged the attack swiftly and countered with a blow to Gryz's face, sending him reeling backwards into a man with four arms. Both men crashed against the floor.

Zio, satisfied with his momentary victory, picked up Gryz's axe off the ground and hurled it in the opposite direction of the Motavian, hitting knight in the head with the flat of the blade. "Fetch, mutt!" he jeered, smirking at Gryz.

With another glance at the four-armed man, Zio could tell that it was not someone he wished to displease just yet. "Uh... my... apologies sir... Gires!" A cloud of red smoke wafted across the man's nose as a healing spell entered his system; his wounds already starting to heal.

Remembering the man he'd just hit with the axe, and not wanting to make any more enemies at thsi stage in the game, Zio cast Gires at the knight as well.

Zio dashed down the hallway once more, but as he did so he tripped over a body. His one remaining Dimate fell out of his pockets and into the hands of the fluffy creature with the odd, red ball on his head that he s aw earlier. Shrugging, not wanting to deal with the conflict to get his measly Dimate back, Zio stomp on the body he tripped over in irritation before finding a nice, dark location in which to hide for the rest of the tournament. Even a black mage needs to regain his strength.

_____________
OOC:
1 Evade against Gryz, negating his votes against me.

1 Attack Vote against Gilgamesh.
1 Attack Vote against Duran. (No offense, guys!)
1 Reversal Vote for Gilgamesh
1 Reversal Vote for Duran
1 Reversal vote for Mog

That should take me down to 0 A-Votes, 0 R-Votes, and 0 P-Votes. I'm retiring for the night, and won't be back till after the next tourney starts, which is why I got rid of my last votes a bit uncharacteristically. But at least I described 'em, eh? G'night!

OOC = Out of character… I’m NGBIC…. Never gonna be in character…

Thanks Munkwunk and Merton Dew

And the boss goes away at the end of the week too… if the tourny had started next week I’d be able to compete full time! That is lot of ass kicking I could have given, and received, in 8 hours!

Hopefully be the time FFOS7 arrives I’ll be neted at home, broadband too.
I’ll dish out some pain then.

You know, I’m REALLY ANNOYED… I was really enjoying myself last time, and I thought I did quite well… It really helped the long days in the office pass smoothly, writing out some of those scenes was fun…

Ahwell… catch you laters…

The long battle is over,
We were able to free ourselves from the terrible curse of yore.
To the souls of those who sacrificed their lives for Algol
sleep in peace.

We will not forget the sacrifices that have been made.

Sephiroth666
FFOS6 Siegfried

Thanks Yume and KyleIII.

I hate living in a place with such a bad time zone. I don't get to post until the last minute when everybody's already bombarding me with their A-Votes! Just to make up for it, I have to make this long post!

======================================

The detonation of the Fire 3 spell rocked Siegfried back. Standing amidst the smoke he can see the familiar face run off into the fray. "Wasn't that one of the men I saw in the Figaro Cave heist back then?" He picks up his massive sword, cape still cindering from the sneak attack, but he evaded just before the searing heat could break his armor.

"FLAMERIA!" a voice echoed through the halls of the Garden. The blast rocked Siegfried back. the light was bright enough to see through his eyelids as the edge of energy brushed him. The magic ignited a bright flare to other competitors.

"The fray is full of mages today isn't it?" Siegfried stood. Debris from the explosion still burned. He felt a sharp pain shoot up his arm. Shards of.. ice? the warrior thought.

"Cold before fire, dollface! Remember that!" a male voice shouted in the distance. "Damn those mages!" Siegfried shouted, gripping his arm as blood flowed through his icy wound. More ices shards came and Siegfried reflected them back to its caster with the flat side of this blade.

A blue blur stormed in Siegfried's way, swinging a battleaxe madly. He felt a pain in his gut as it drove by. Siegfried was rocked back by the force and the blow had made a wet crunch that reminded him of a lobster being devoured at an inn. Siegfried rose and lunged his blade at him as he slashed by.

Smiling at his first hit, a fighter came by and unleashed of wave of energy that seemed to drain the power from him. He released the grip of his blade in weakness.

Grinning in disgust of the outcome of this fight, a force unbalanced his footing and he found himself wet in a fountain of water. Siegfried turns back to spot the assailant,... a moogle? Another one that appeared on the South Figaro Cave heist with Gerard...

A red-haired fighter came at the warrior, kicking up debris in his wake. He lunged with his blade, digging it deep into Siegfried's armor. He kicks him back before it could pierce his flesh.

"I am Siegfried! The greatest swordsman! I came to win, not to compete!" the dark mercenary bellowed. Siegfried arrived at a randomly assorted group of warriors. "Ha!" He cried out as cut out a great half circle on the floor among the fighters.

Fire of Legend

"Julius! Thou seemest truly to be the mightiest of thy race! I hath seen thy prowess and I wouldst offer thee my assistance! We Masters of the Darkness art few and made impotent by the wiles of our foes. Together, we canst do far more than any of us wert capabable of alone. What sayest thou? And wouldst thy decision by affected by mine aid?"

The emperor carefully considered the words of the creature known as Zoma. Much to his regret he realized that his great power had been put to waste thus far. His actions to mobilize the SeeDs in his favor had proved ineffective, even the mightiest of their number were unable to stand against the power of Yume's contestants. And even worse Julius realized that the tournament's chaotic nature made focused strategic planning useless. He sadly realized that he had been reduced to wandering around blindly, attacking foes at random.

Perhaps an alliance would be for the best. Perhaps with the aid of this archfiend and his allies Julius could focus his skills and his mind. Or perhaps they would merely drag him down, or make him a target to their own foes. Julius paused to consider Zoma's proposal. As he thought he caught sight of the Moogle from before, who had overheard the fiend's proposal and taken offense. As the creature attacked Zoma Julius stepped in to assist, casting a quick spell to negate the Moogle's attack. As the small creature ran off Julius turned to face Zoma.

"I see merit in your proposal," he said, "But I am not one to rush into any uncertain situation. If you and your brethren survive this round, then I shall join you, and not a second earlier." Julius turned his back on Zoma and walked off, pausing to hurl a fireball at a large beast that seemingly followed the Moogle.

Chaos was waiting by the second story classroom. Has Zoma been successful in recruiting others into our alliance? If we servants of Darkness do not aid each other, than we shall surely fail.

Before he got too far into his musings, a blond-haired instructor stepped out of the classroom. "What are you doing here?" It was a simple question, one that few others would have dared to ask.

Chaos stood up to his full height. "I am Chaos, the Master of Time, and I am here to compete in a tournament. Who are you, that does not fear me?"

The woman smiled. "I am Quistis Trepe, and I am an instructor here at Balamb Garden. By the way, have you heard about Ultimecia? She, also, proclaimed herself the Mistress of Time."

Chaos shook his head. "I have not heard of this one. Who is she, and where is she now? Did she succeed in her goals?"

Slowly, Quistis shook her head. "Yes, and no. She did manage to compress time, but that was a trap that Squall and the others laid for her. In the end, we destroyed her."

"I see. I will have to hear more about this later. I bid you farewell."

The Angels' Fear

OOC: I'll have to make this my intro. Real stuff coming up real soon.

Even though Luka was the one telling him this, Randi could still not understand how such incredible events had taken place before him without knowing. Purim had been announced to be married while he was exploring the Mana Forest. The search for Mana had consumed most of his time and energy since the death of his companion Flammie.

He was surprised at the news. Purim had been so distant since the death of her love, Dyluck. She paid him little attention and even refused to help him in his quest. Even so, he couldn't shake her from his mind. All the times they laughed, cried, and even battled together made a scar in his mind. One he wasn't sure he wanted to have. He had a job, though. He was the last of the Mana Tribe. Without him, no one would be able to revive the link between the two worlds, and hopefully, restore Mana.


"We have more important matters now, Randi." Jema interrupted. "Why did you summon us, Luka?"

"The water has told me much lately. I thought the water had turned mute once the Mana was gone, but it seems that it's power is being received from an unknown source." Luka said.

Randi's eyes narrowed. "An unknown source? How is that possible? The only thing that could give this world Mana is destroyed."

Luka folded her hands behind her back then looked to Randi. "If I had to guess, I would say a residue of what the Mana Tree was is still left here." he paused for a moment. "You haven't lost any of your abilities since the event, have you?"

"What would my abilities have to do with anything?" Randi said.

Luka raised her arms and chanted an incantation, then dipped her hand in one of the Water Palace's streams and dropped Randi with it. Randi let out a moan and fell to his knees. The room began to spin around him and he began to sweat. Things became almost two-dimensional and he felt alone and cold. "What...are you doing to me?!" Randi shouted.

"Peace. I just put a temporary barrier on your mana flow. It's been so long since you've been without it, it's like losing an arm at first." Luka said another incantation slowly. "There," she said.

Randi was confused to say the least.
Mana energy from...me?

"You've been using mana all this time. Taken from the sword and used through the last of the Tribe. Everything about you is more advanced because of it. When you lost that ability, it was like learning to see through a narrow hole that was once a giant canyon." The sage said.

There was a short silence before Jema spoke up. "That's well, Luka, but tell us what the water told you."

"Ah yes, the water," she said. "It spoke of quite a few things. It said a woman clad in purple asked about you, and she also sent a message through the streams." Luka dipped her hand in water again and waved her hand in a ring shape. The path then formed a hole in mid air, whence a female voice came.

"I have come here to announce a tournament. Tell the Mana Knight that he was chosen to be a part of this event. Enter the water and you shall be taken to my tournament. Wether or not you participate is up to you." the voice said, then faded away.

"I sensed a strong presence in the water recently. This was it," Luka said. "I don't think you have much choice, do you? If there is a way to revive Mana, it's through the tournament. I don't know why I know this, I just do."

Randi knew what he had to do. He grasped his sword and closed his eyes. "Another adventure. I wish Purim and Popoie were here to help me."

Sponsoring Kefka......

W00t for teh dark side!!

--- going a bit back in time again... kursed time zones!


____________________________________________

Kefka, after being hit by the effect Mog's dance, tried to stay on the platform above the garden. He grasped firmly onto the wall, trying not to lose his balance. He lookd around for the source, and noticed the small moogle running around dancing in the garden below.

"I'll tackle you, you silly little furry whatever!"

He jumped on Mog, who was just finishing up on his dancing. The moogle rolled to the gound and ran away with many an angry "KUPO!!". Kefka stood up, and washed some blood off his face in the Balamb Pools.

"Not a bad place! I'm starting to like this Garden. I wonder what sort of magic makes it float? Magic and technology... Hahaha... *snif* just beautiful."

...

...

...

When Kefka met up with Zoma, he quicly healed him a bit and accepted his offer for a Dark Alliance.

Hmm... it seems like we need an Alliance to survive... Fine. I'll go along with it...

"Uwee hee hee!!!! Good. Good. I like the sound of that. Evil shall prevail!!!!!!!"

...

...

...

Later, Kefka was studying the maic of this world by nearly zapping any approacing students. "No killing, right? Hehehe...."

He then noticed Siegfried, who hit him with a random swordstrike earlier that day.

"Ooooh, better aim well with this shot!..."

Having said that, Kefka hit Siegfried with a good old Thundaga spell he drew off some student. The lightning hit the swordsman's blade first, sending shocks through his body.

"Uweee hee hee!!!! That was fun. I guess...... Oh well, back to playing with magic..."

Optional Boss

OK, I'm back! Now to get rid of all these extra votes, and make Munkwunk cry in the process!
_____________________________________________
Umaro had had enough. Fighter after fighter had attacked him and his friends, but all he had done was hand out potions to his injured comrades. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't keep up with all the people attacking. He had only seen Setzer for a second, and tried to toss him a potion. But the gambler hadn't noticed the yeti's attempt to help, and the potion smashed harmlessly onto the ground.

Now he was mad. He inhaled sharply, letting air into his lungs until he couldn't breath in anymore. Mog, Gogo, and Locke, knowing what was about to happen, stepped out of the sasquatch's way. But to their surprise, Umaro didn't release his storm attack. Instead, he held his breath in, his body straining for fresh air.

"Hey.... You okaykupo?" Mog asked.

"His face is changing colors...." Gogo pointed out.

"Yeah it's almost pitch black" Locke added, tapping Umaro on the shoulder. "What the-... He's ice cold!"

What they didn't realize was Umaro was storing the air inside of himself to further decrease the tempurature. When he felt like he was about to burst, he unleashed the enhanced storm attack in a tremendous torrent. Almost freezing over a dozen people, SeeD and competitor alike, who were close by, and still hitting several people who were over fifty feet away.

"Woah!" Locke stated. Gogo repeated Locke's statement, but not out of mimicry, but of sheer shock. He noticed that one unlucky individual clad in black attire had been too close to his hairy friend, and was now completely incased in ice.

"There..." Umaro panted happily. "Now to help buddies." Saying that, he reached into his bag, and started handing out potions to his friends.

I still have my Nintendo.

I'm out.

I am just going to be a spectator.

I came in to see that the thread already had 3 pages! The forum has been down the past few days, and then I come back, and I have to read all this!

Fine, I read it. But I still don't know how many votes I am supposed to start with! I thought I would go around defending people or something. But I don't know who or how I would go about doing that.

Do I just write a story about walking outta the class room, going over to wherever "Seigfreid" is and be one of the many Mages pounding him? No! Because I am a Noble? Do I protect Kain? How? How, and when do I cast a vote of "Something" at Kain to protect him?

I obviously do not understand the A-Vote ect. ect. concept.

I might see you in FFOS7, but not unless I can figure out this dang system.

Laters,

Krizak

OOC: Krizak, I figured you were counting the votes blocked by Ex-Barriar, but i know you've got alot of counting to do, and i figured I make it a bit more obvious. Sense i'm counting incorrectly, i'll stop, no hard feelings.

Although, could you clear me up on this, does ex-barriar negate attacks before or after its usage? The description was a bit vague, and I assumed it canceled future attacks.

Also, will all the rounds be on this new schedule of miday-to-miday, instead of midnight-to-midnight?

The Angels' Fear

"This is it," Randi said.

He stepped into the knee-high pool of water in front of him. Suddenly, the water began to swirl and engulf him. When he opened his eyes he was in a strange building. It looked like a school, and it also looked like people had begun to fight.

"You're late." A familiar voice shouted. It was the same voice he heard from the water. "I am Yume. I thought it would take more convincing to get you here. However, the tournament's already started. You can't participate now."

"That's ok. I wasn't planning on joining anyway. I came to find the source of power that my friend felt."

Yume laughed and combed her hand through her hair. "And what will you do when you find this power? Take it with you to save your dying world?"

"Yes..." Randi muttered.

Yume looked at him with shifting eyes. You may stay here while the tournament is underway. But you will not be able to return to your world until it is done.

"That's fine," Randi said. Then walked away.


OOC:Cheesy? yes..

After spending a few minutes to adjust, Randi came upon a young swordsman much like himself. He could feel almost a bond between them, one unlike what he felt with the others. He looked beat up pretty badly.

Randi reached in his pouch and pulled a chocolate. "Do I know you?" he said.

The boy turned with his sword to see the Mana Knight. "My name is Duran. And to answer your question, no. I've never seen you before."

"Oh.." Randi said. "ehmm... I just stopped to see if you needed this. Looks like you've been hit pretty bad." Randi tossed the chocolate to Duran. "It'll heal your.."

But before he could finish, Duran had taken a large bite out of it. Almost as if he knew the healing properties of candy. "Thanks," he said. "I must go now."

Randi waved and walked back into the main room. He came across two others in need of help. "I feel like the easter bunny giving out candy like this," he sighed. He gave the two a piece of candy each.

Darkken
The Scarlet Magician

Koren watched the blonde swordsman he had beaten earlier gasp for air as he desperately attempted to get back on the Garden. Without a shred of sympathy, he left the man trying. He wouldn't care about his death for a second.

Walking through the Garden, he observed many battles. He paid no heed to them, though. Death would come to many on that day, but that was all the same for him. It was only when he passed a majestic, fiery spirit that he stopped.

"Who are you?" Rubicant asked vehemently.

"Fire..." Koren said, chuckling. "I was once like you. A burning fireball, weak and without purpose."

"And who are you to present such a claim?" Rubicant asked. He easily dwarfed the man in front of him, but somehow he didn't feel like crushing him.

"Here, let me help you." Koren said. He raised his hands and chanted a spell of fire, augmenting the burning spirit of Rubicant. Then he darted out of the room, turning around to stare at him one more time. "In the end, your dark order won't save you. You fight only for yourself. Unity is strength, but it is also a weakness. Don't forget that."

Fire of Legend

No sooner had Julius attacked the large white beast than it did something quite remarkable, somehow unleashing a wave of arctic energy that chilled all those who stood near. Julius himself was one of the first to be hit by the monster's ice attack, but fortunately he was again able to call upon the stolen power of the Mana Tree to aid him. Julius used the Mana energy to create a vortex of warm air, which successfully channeled the beast's frigid energy, sending it instead towards another of the Moogle's allies, this time the colorfully robed figure.

With this attack negated Julius turned away from the main hall and ventured along the buildings perimeter, pausing only to fire off a couple of final attacks at two contestants he passed along the way. Julius shortly reached the Garden's library and stepped inside, content to sit out and wait for the final results of the opening round.

Jesus, I'm seem to be getting a bit of a kicking in this round. Right. Lenna's pissed.....

*******

Lenna was not pleased. She was clutching her side in crippling pain, as she had been hit several times in the fray of the garden as the fighters battled relentlessly around her.

Furiously she moved onwards, trying to build some momentum and generally hand out some punishment in this strange and unnatural setting.

Suddenly she was confronted by a vile, nightmarish appairition, it looked like something conjured from the most demonic depths of hell. Lenna was not phased though, cooly stepped back and aimed a perfect Flare spell into the monster's heart.

It screamed in pain, so loudly that the fighting around Lenna seemed to stop. Lenna quickly ran before it recovered.

With his near-magical speed, Koren moved through

...Duran?

Koren saw the young swordsman with his back to a wall, his eyes closed. It seemed as though the pain of his wounds had been enough to knock him out for a moment. Koren chuckled; how furious, he thought, Duran would have been, if he knew he'd been seen in such a vulnerable state.

Koren took a bit of bandage and put it around the deep wound around his hand. Then he broke a bit of a pot of magical oil, and sprinkled it on the body. He could see his enemy was resting more easily.

"You'd do better to leave him alone." a voice said.

Koren rose, unfazed, and turned around. "And who, if I may beg your pardon, would you be?" he asked. In front of him was a boy, with a bandana tied on his head, and an assortment of weapons.

"My name is Randi", the boy answered. He put his hand on the hilt of his blade. "As for him-"

"The boy belongs to me." Koren said, bluntly. "The two of us are tied by a fate that goes further than death itself. Interfere with that fate, and..."

"Are you threatening me?" the boy asked.

"No.

"Suit yourself", the boy answered. "But you can be sure... hurt him, and I'll cut you."

"Very well." Koren was already about to turn around and walk away. but then something caught his attention.

The sword!

The sword the boy carrying... it was exactly like... no, it couldn't be...

"The... Sword of Mana!?" he uttered. For the first time, there was a tingle of urgency in his voice.

"You know the Sword of Mana!? Who are you!?" Randi shouted, his voice bearing a similar excitement.

Suddenly, the conversation was broken by the entry of a third man. A man with an unnatural amount of hands broke in, each hand holding a different weapon. "Evil Gate!" Koren bellowed. A sphere of nothingness broke between him and Randi, sucking Gilgamesh in.

"Fate has played yet another trick on me today!" Koren shouted. "Our paths will cross again, bearer of the Sword of Mana! Fare you well!!" And then he disappeared in a blur, out of Randi's view.

"Who the hell was that!?" Randi asked from no one in particular. With a sickening thud, Gilgamesh's body hit the floor as the dark magic subsided.

Draco: Tim!? I know you've been keeping up on The Brave Story, but he's not me, I'm afraid.... *cough-unfortunately-cough*

Switchblade, UFO Z, Slipstream: Thanks too, guys. I appreciate you going along with this. It's not really a team, per se, it's more of a gang (Yo, hommie! I got yo back if u got mine! ); but for the first couple of rounds where Evil attrition is highest I think it's a great way of getting a few more of us to the later rounds, where of course evil alliances always falter (hey, this is an RPG-based thing-- we gotta have our RPG cliches! ).

Lutz, we'll miss ya. Hope everything at your job works out.

FFGnome: It's actually not that complicated. The division of who-gets-how-many-votes is on the first page of the Drafting Thread. As for writing stories, you pretty much do whatever you want within the guidelines (namely, the location of the round, which the host tells us at the start). Once other people start writing (or if you go first) you fit your stories in with theirs', and it starts falling into place.

"A-votes" are simply "attacks" you have. Anytime you "fight" someone you usually end up using on A-vote on them. To continue the analogy, think of it as real-life Survivor where you "vote people out." A-votes are how you do that.

The power vote system is kinda complicated, and depending on how people use it it can either be incredibly frustrating or cool beyond words (or both at the same time ).

In your example, "helping Kain" would be a great place to start. You could R-vote him (heals one A-vote already used on him), or you could use a "defensive power" like Aura (heals him and two others) or Cover (negates one person's last two votes, so you could negate an A-vote used on him). Things like that.

I do hope to see you on FFOS7, too. The more the merrier!

P. S. : Play someone evil!

Lionheart: If you can get this before the round ends, I'm already out of A-votes this round, so you might not want to use up your Following.

Zoma nodded toward Julius's receding shadow. At least he hath not proven himself an enemy. And the mad one hath actually accepted. Things gradually turneth for the worse; or, mayhap, in our case, for bettereth.

Zoma's long legs allowed him to stride easily around the Garden's circle of rooms. It was then that he say another man, a human who practically radiated magic, speaking with Rubicant. His powers of hearing picked up, "In the end, your dark order won't save you. You fight only for yourself. Unity is strength, but it is also a weakness. Don't forget that."

Wouldst this be the Koren that the human Duran referreth to? Fascinating. He doth not appear as a great warrior or a mage, and yet he seemeth powerful. Zoma let his Eye sweep over the man. Oddly enough, Koren seemed to feel it; as he turned to Zoma. Like Yume, he did not gave any outward sign of intimidation.

"Thou art Koren, art thou art? The one named Duran spoke of thee. Thy powers intrigue me... although that man was mistaken when he spoketh of thine strength; that canst perhaps by excused by hyperbole."

Koren's eyes narrowed. "Are you calling me weak, Zoma?"

Zoma chuckled. "Nay. I call no one who embraceth the Darkness weak. Misguided, perhaps, misguided... but never weak."

"And you would call me 'misguided,' you who thinks this 'order' of yours can bring about victory? It's absurd." Koren's voice, smooth and powerful, presented little contrast to Zoma. The two were seemingly more alike that they were different, if one could get past the physical variation.

"I canst see no better way. Aye, in the end we fightest each other. But for now, we gather in self-preservation as the forces arrayed against us art too powerful. When Good battles ignobly and it be Evil that playeth with honor, we canst do nought but lose. ...unless, of course, we bandeth together."

Koren sighed. Haven't I already gone over this?

"Thou seeest no merit in my proposal? Very well; 'tis your decision to make, Koren. But know this! Not all of us fighteth on the sidelines, as thou art. We art imperiled, whilst thou standest safely. If thou wilt not fight with us, then at least do not array thyself against us. If thou doest such, all will be well with thee, and thou shalt not be forgetten if one of us shouldst win."

Zoma, the Master Archfiend, waited once more. The Army of Darkness was growing as a black fire, and with the addition of Koren-- one who, by the rules, could not be eliminated-- their chances would only increase.

Sponsor: Setzer

Setzer had barely an instant to react as the sheet of flame rushed along the ground toward him. The gambler leapt backward and flicked the four of hearts in front of the attack’s trajectory. It exploded as the fire passed over and suddenly all was calm. He knew that even fire magic needed oxygen to burn, the incendiary card had deprived the attack of its fuel.

Rubicante stepped out from round the corner where he had been waiting. “A shame” he sounded disappointed, “I was so looking forward to your screams.” The dark mage began to build up another fire attack in the palms of his hands. Setzer quickly picked out the three of diamonds and darted it at the mage’s chest. Several feet before impact the card split into three slender shards; one hitting each hand and the other embedding itself in Rubicante’s chest. He recoiled with a frustrated roar as his own fire disbursed.

Just then a beam of light originating from high above seared the floor between them. Setzer looked up toward the source of the devilish laugh that followed as many other such beams streaked down all over the Garden. Kefka was going on a killing spree, attacking contestant and civilian alike from Cid’s office. Concentrating carefully Setzer drew the Jack of Spades and took several moments to aim it carefully. Rubicante had just plucked the last of the slender daggers from his flesh when he saw what the gambler was doing. Oddly, though looking toward Kefka he was aiming the card at the fire mage. With a deep shout he threw the card at Rubicante’s feet. It whistled through the air an inch above the ground then arced sharply upward to slice deeply along the dark sorcerer’s abdomen. From there is flew diagonally upward to the tower where Kefka still stood laughing. Though it was difficult for Setzer to see the exact result he could tell that the card had hit its target as the laughter suddenly turned to a shrill scream. He saw a tiny flash of white as the Jack exited the office through the roof and began to arc around back to its owner.

He concentrated intently on the card, knowing that if he did not catch it precisely that it could do him great injury. Suddenly Setzer’s body was consumed in a burning pain. Turning, he saw that the injured Rubicante had mustered enough strength for a retaliatory strike before collapsing in agony once more. With a heartbeat to spare the gambler dropped to the ground as the Jack flew past and embedded itself in the armour of a nearby dragoon then turned to dust.

His muscles aching from the burns Setzer pushed himself up to his feet as the three adversaries he had struck began to approach. Knowing he was in no state to take them all on he used the eight of clubs to knock them all back and retreat for the moment.

Later, having tended to his wounds Setzer decided to provide aid to some of the other contestents. He threw the nine of diamonds directly up into the air. It burst like a firework into a thousand shining green particles, which then rained down and formed into several gleaming ribbons of light that channelled into nearby warriors. Setzer made sure that some individuals received particular attention. Though he was loathe to do it he even used the healing power to Chaos. It would be easy to retrieve the King of Spades from his dead hand if others were to defeat him for me, he thought, but I can not risk it falling into the hands of another. I must bide my time. If he were to use it in a place like this it could cleave the whole island in two.

"I do not serve anyone", Koren said, staying his eyes keenly on Zoma. "However... your offer has a grain of truth in it."

"And?" the Master Archfiend asked, measuring the wizard again with is eyes.

"There is no reason for me to strike you down at the moment. Hence, I shall not do so - I, too, have my interest in the survival of darkness. On one condition..." Koren left his words linger, a hint of a smile rising to his lips, reflecting perfect confidence.

What impertinence! Zoma thought. This pitiful human dared to give him conditions!? "And that would be...?" he asked.

"That boy, Duran, is mine. His life must belong to me. You will not harm him, lest he attack you first, and even then, you must only return so much as you must to defend yourselves. This is my condition. In return, I offer you my services, as I see fit to provide them..." his hands quickly formed a magical mark on the air, and Zoma could feel his strength being augmented by Koren's power.

Chaos swept away from Quistis, and went into the fighting below. Zoma, it had appeared, had recruited more members into the alliance. "So, Zoma is more convincing than I had thought. Perhaps he, also, shall be a threat to me..."

Shaking his head, Chaos went to the top of the Garden, into Cid's office. Inside, both Cid and a black-clad sorceress were talking. At least, until Chaos came in.

"Can either of you tell me of Ultemecia? I wish to know more about her."

Edea narrowed her eyes. "She was a monster, and a demon. She dared to raise herself above what was her right, and she received only what she deserved."

Chaos slowly, menacingly laughed. "I, too, can be considered a monster, and a demon. However, I shall receive only what I wish, not the end of my reign. And, should you resist me, I shall strike you down, and leave your corpse for others to mourn over."

Chaos once again entered his wraithform, and entered Edea's mind. There, he learned everything he ever could want about Ultimecia, and Time Compression.

"I see. I bid you farewell."
---


Chaos noticed a manical clown, apparently suffering from many wounds. "Revive the efforts of darkness with the effects of light, Cure4!"

The insane clown turned towards him. "Kwe-heheheheh!"

Is this the extent of evil in the other worlds? Perhaps he is more powerful than appearances could lead me to believe...

Sponsoring Kefka......

Well, the round is almost over now.... time to use up all those votes!

BTW, am I right that MDT is GMT-7? Just making sure...


___________________________________________

Kefka was getting tired from all the fighting. He had almost used up his magic power and was in need of some rest, or refreshment, or both. he figured it was time to settle a few scores before he turned in, though.


He rememberd a certain incident with a gambling card from earlier that day... He just realized that he knew this particular gambler from his own world.

"Equip the Genji Glove on THIS, why don't you!" - he said, as he pointed his hand into the air, letting a bolt of energy blaze up and seek its destination. A big blast and a yell let Kefka know that the spell hit, well, someone.

"Hmm... actually... I can still cure people. Should I?"

Kefka pondered this for a while. He WAS evil, after all, so why cure others? Especially... ugh...

"Ah, whatever."

*ZAP*

*ZAP*

"Hah. I'm actually.... being fair and correct?? Ugh... Maybe I'm losing my touch after all... Oh well.. Time to read up on some more magic before that Yume girl makes us stop."

Having said that, Kefka stomped off, kicking a few wounded students that were lying on the floor on the way to the library. The few remaining students who were stupid enough not to hide after all this havoc gave Kefka strange looks, but since he didn't look like he was going to hurt anybody, they just got out of the library quietly, leaving Kefka to his reading.

"Amazing! All this technology! All this power! Sorceresses, para-magic! The moon! Oh my.... This stuff might come in handy someday... Hee hee hee heee...."

Sponsor: Setzer

Setzer had barely had a chance to recuperate from his previous battles when he came across Zio. He radiated a darkness blacker than the hue of his clothes that chilled the gambler to the bone. Zio noticed him and smirked as he effortlessly sent a shock-wave rippling through the air toward Setzer. It hit with the force of a sledgehammer and knocked him to the ground.

A moment later Setzer was back on his feet. His cards made a metallic shng sound as he fanned them out in one hand. The two advanced toward each other calmly. The gambler struck first with a flurry of sweeping attacks, which Zio deflected with the armour on his forearms. The dark warrior countered with another shock-wave to his opponent’s chest at point black range. Setzer was knocked flying but managed to regain his balance in mid-air and backflip into a crouched landing. Tensing every muscle he thrust himself forward and sliced deeply with the card-fan at Zio’s chest. The dark warrior had clearly not expected such a swift counter-attack and his defences were lowered. He spluttered blood and grabbed at his wound with one hand, lashing out at Setzer with the other. Zio’s backhand punch connected with his adversary’s face, knocking him away long enough for the dark warrior to make his escape.

"Koren, it shalt be as thou speakest. I shalt not lay a hand on Duran, and shalt escape if he attacketh me. If this beeth the price of loyalty for one such as thee, I canst manage it."

Zoma, in a rare moment of obeisance, offered a deep bow at the waist toward Koren.

"The time shalt come when we see whose powers art the greater. For now, however, I am contented with thy aid, as thou seeest fit to provide it. Play the game well, Koren of the Red Lotus. Thou hast a mighty ally."

At last, things art finally improving. Perhaps victory may at last be wrested from the forces of Light....

SIN

Of Empty Hands and Fists 3



Zeal had felt it; spiritual energy in this realm was becoming unbalanced. Shifts in the spectrum pointed in the direction of the dark, a nightmarish feel in her mind which she had been keen to ever since she had been swayed by the power of Lavos. It was as if a mighty stormcloud was building; a possible harbinger of great destruction. When too much power was concentrated in one place, all things tended to get out of hand. The recurring phenomenon of intelligent beings attempting to gather more and more power had scarred the face of human history and, no doubt, the history of other races as well.

Though what I can do is limited, I would not see this contest lost in a sea of darkness. I will do what I can; I will use my power to bring balance here, at least until I obtain a greater understading of this great mystery, and of the lives gathered together here.

The Queen closed her eyes once again and saw warriors of light, and a growing band of darkness.

"To you, perhaps, I will grant one step closer to fighting another day." Putting her first two fingers to her lips, she gave a kiss and blew it in the direction of those she wished to heal. The energy separated into several smaller orbs, and alighted on a golden-haired maiden, a picaresqe thief, and a brave young knight. "Be well, 'till the 'morrow, brave souls" the Queen whispered. "I'll not see this contest overrun by either light or darkness, if it is up to me."

Disciplinary Committee

Gogo knew the round would end soon, and he had barely fought anyone.
His patience had reached it's limit.
Time for some random insanity...
It was easy for him to single out contenders from the civillians, and he rushed at those closest, attacking in a brutal frenzy.
The SeeDs who had been fighting off people from the tournament stopped, awestruck at the pure rage seething from this mysterious person in colorful robes.
"None of you are a real challenge! I joined up to meet some worthy opponents, don't any of you fit that description?! Let's find out..."
In moments it was over, anyone Gogo came near to ended up on the ground a split second later, knowing true pain.
Gogo surveyed the wreckage, and walked away with a grunt.
There had to be someone worthy in the tournament...

Locke Cole - FFOS6

"What are you doing in my room?!?" a shrill female voice woke Locke with a start.

Quick to his feet, Locke began to apologize, "Sorry, but I just needed a bit of a rest. No one was in here."

"How did you get in?" she asked in frustration

"How did I get in?"

"Yes, how did you get in?"

"Erm, the door was unlocked."

"No it wasn't, they lock automatically."

"Er, um, I mean it was unlocked after I unlocked it."

"What?!?" the young SeeD was at her wits end. She'd been busy all day defending her Garden, taking a few nasty bumps along the way. She'd only wanted to come to her room for a quick nap and found a stranger, one of the people responsible for all of the destruction in the gardan, sleeping in her bed.

"Well, it's been fun, but I gotta go," Locke said, darting out of the room. He certainly didn't want to attack a young girl, and he realized by the incredibly fancy looking clock on her bedstand that the round was almost over.

Back out in the hall, Locke noticed something sleepwalking while randomly attacking people. "Wake up!" Locke yelled at it. When that did nothing, Locke shrugged, picked up a mop off of the floor, and threw at at the creature.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" a voice behind Locke demanded. Turning around, Locke realized he was face to face with a man who already had to swords in hand.

Thinking quickly, Locke pretended to start running but instead did a quick backflip, kicking off the wall and landing behind his attacker. A sweeping kick managed to throw the man onto his back, and Locke took the opportunity to get away.

Unfortunetely, Locke dropped another potion out of his pack. Even more unfortunetely, it was later picked up by Chaos.

1 A-vote to Nall
1 A-vote to Lutz

1 R-vote to Chaos


An uninspired post I know, but that's the last of my votes. See you all next round.

Oh, wow.... I really wasn't all here last night. It didn't help as I finished writing my story someone interrupted me. >< Grrr... so, yes, I bloody well forgot to write the attack vote! I'll include it at the end of my next piece. (Well, this post.)

*twitch* 8... 4.... 8.... --; *chuckles* Ok. Got that. anyone think it'd be easier to have a text file or simple HTML page with all the power votes rather than having to constantly go BACK to the drafting thread to view them? (Not all of us have the most perfect of memories... like me. I might eb the ONLY one though, but... *shrugs*)

BTW, is anyone saving this, or should I start now? ...

Onward with the votes. I apologize in advance for how bad it'll be. ^^ Beware of oddness.
-------------
Everything had been a blur, and she now found herself on a balcony overlooking the ocean below. She had been injured, healed, fought, and couldn't recall too much in the blur.

What was I thinking, thinking that I could be capable enough to handle this? What am I trying to prove?

The cool breeze stirred her green hair as she looked out.

Maybe it was to prove to Edge I could take care of myself. Maybe it was to prove I could have defended Mist. Or something. I don't remember. It doesn't matter. I'll see this through, or pay the price for trying. Besides... someone has to watch Edge.

She looked down at the spot where she had been hit with his blade and frowned. That wasn't the Edge I know. It can't be. But... then what was it?

She heard a noise and whirled, her hand on the whip at her waist. Something was just beyond the door. For that matter, it sounded like three somethings. She walked over towards the door, and suddenly it opened, three beings coming out. Rydia blinked as they stopped talking - though in her opinion it sounded more like a disagreement perhaps.

"Something wrong?" she asked, edging around the group, trying to make for the door.

"Well, its one fo those other competitors," one commented.

Rydia flinched. She didn't like the odds. She noticed two of them were swordsmen, and the third was that annoying clown who Yume had kept yelling at. An idea struck her. Its a means to an end, she thought. "Say, you all look pretty capable of fighting, but my opinion is that he-" she pointed at the clown, which she recalled was named Kefka "-that Kefka there is the best of you three." Hope this doesn't backfire.

Kefka laughed his chillingly wierd but unique laugh, and the other two looked at each other. "Hey now, that's not right. I, Gilgamesh, am the best here. No one surpasses my blade!"

The third one frowned. "That's wrong. I seigfried am!"

"You're both wrong, and her judgement is right!" Kefka cackled. Rydia used this moment to slip around them and break for the door as a fight broke out. Lucky for me they DID turn on each other. That was amusing...

She turned a corner and stopped to rest. She caught her breath and tried to think of what had all happened. She recalled Edge. She had to find him. And if not, then she had to at least try to help him. But she couldn't find the will to at all. Everything seemed so hopeless, but she had to try. But she just didn't want to do anything. She spoted some ... dark... thing across the hall and frowned. She moved on erh way before anyone else spotted her.

It wasn't two turns later in this crazy place she ended up in some jungle indoors. Also in there, besides strange beasts, were a few other contestants. It was then she nearly jumped out fo her skin as someone spoke behind her. "Hey there! Who are you?"

She whirled to spy a tall guy dressed oddly with some kind of hat perched on his head. He carried a odd weapon as well. He wasn't bad looking by any means - weird maybe - but then, her appearance wasn't much better on the flipside. "Ah..."

"Speechless eh? I know I have that effect on ladies but... you wouldn't happen to eb one of the people who's not supposed to be here are you?"

Rydia blinked and ran that one by herself one mroe time. Her eyes narrowed. "Maybe, maybe not, but I ought to teach you not to remotely hit on women, epsecially when we're taken." She called up the power of lightning - bolt three style.

It was a shocking experience for quite a few people other than her target, but it worked enough to gain her a minor upper hand. She looked down at his unconscious form and frowned slightly. It had been a bit much, but it had to be done. She collected the weapon he had dropped and ran past a few bodies of other contestants.

Its a means to an end. I had to do this so I... I could...

She then tripped over another contestant's body, falling flat on her face and sending the weapon over a ledge to below. She got up, irked, and kicked the body, and then looked over the edge to see the rifle had hit someone else on the head before falling gracelessly into the fountain. "Oops."

It was from this perch she spied someone she wished she had never had to see ever again in her life. "Rubicante," she hissed. He may have at least had honor, but she knew the reprecussions form his doings. Edge still seemed to be troubled by everything that had happened to turn his life upside down, and now he was trying to be something he hadn't been ready to. Her anger at ehr own inability to help Edge and her despair fueled her spell as she shot off the ice spell. "Eat this fireball!" she cried, almost falling over the edge of the rail as she launched the spell. She held the handrail, hanging precariously.

Her periphreal vision noted her ice spell had sent shards flying, and noted they had hit some other people, and at least one other contestant.

That was graceful, Rydia, she thought as she regained her composure and tried to get back up. Its only the means, isn't it?

Erm... =^^= Hopefully its in time, and do't worry about me. :P --; I had to edit my writing three times when I recalled I couldn't use R-vote/healing abilities. XD Hope this is on time AND fits somehow.......

Driscoll's vision blurred. "Wha... where am I?"

Looking around, he took in his surroundings. "Looks like some kinda military place... and there's some serious trouble going on. Heh. Looks like I'm in my element - they all look wounded..."

Drawing his sword, he rushed towards a knot of fighters. Cutting the first man down, he slashed his way through. He didn't know how much time passed before the area was clear, but it was. The fighters dispersed, some lying wounded, some running, some carrying on fights elsewhere. He collapsed, panting. Close combat wasn't for him.

(OOC: and to justfy R-votes)

From behind him, he heard a growl, as a figure smashed into him, knocking him down. As he blacked out, he felt hands go through his pockets, his painkillers and medikit being lifted...

(OOC again: I'm SO SORRY. I promise I'll be better tomorrow, I just hope my votes were described well enough! SORRY AGAIN!!!)

"Hmph, what's going on?" Ito dug himself out of a pile of rubble. "...Not a scratch on me. But what IS going on? People seem to have lost all reasoning and begun attacking randomly!"

He ducked some kind of projectile. What the... That looked like one of the contestants!

"Hmm. Out of bullets..." He looked down at his belt. "One grenade and a medkit left..." The sounds of a struggle came from the hallway labelled "Cafeteria".

"Hmm, I'm sure the food is good, but it's nothing a little gunpowder can't make better!" He crouched and rolled the grenade through the cafeteria door.

"Now, what to do with this medkit..."

Shrugging, he tossed it behind him. "No use for it now."
