N'raha Tia has posed:
    Tonight? The Shrine is not your usual version of an arena or Colosseum. It is. however, very much a festival space. Because tonight, two combatants are squaring off on the stones and seas of Limsa Lominsa itself!
    Or at least as close as the recreation can get. Thanks to the sponsorship of the Eorzean Alliance Tourism Commission!

    Spectators will be seated around the outside of the large stone ramparts of the Aftcastle, the parapets and overhang overlooking the seas of Eorzea.

    And one particular Axcatte out here in his ruddy best, he is. N'Raha awaits his opponent. Gone is the flashy red armor, the keen red lines and mythril... and in its place is a sharp looking pirate's styled coat and trousers, and a tricorn hat atop the Miqo'te's head. All in the colors of the Maelstrom. I wonder who's night this is out here.

    That's obvious, from the large contingent of the Grand Company packing the stadium.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe takes a look about the replication of Limsa Lominsa and she sees the rock spires which have become the core of the city and the walkways she got ideas, oh she's got ideas for this. She also makes a note to actually go there later.

She looks to see several people she knows the towering form of her Father's Avatar is there as are some others from the GU or SAO survivors. She grins at the appearance of her foe, she's clad in a mix of cloth and plate amour with A Red Cross of some sort on the breastplate. She's tall too pointy ear and purple hair.

"Been a while N'Raha. Looks like this is going to be fun and remind me I need to actually visit it later. I want to see what the fishing is like there."

She noes as she draws her sword Caliburn is in hand and she also pulls out a Shield which bears names on it which ripple and change from time to time.

"Well let us not keep the people waiting shall we?"

WIth that Tomoe breaking into a Dash for N'Raha intending to engage him right out the gate launching into a combo of strikes intending to probe his defences.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    A Paladin vs. Warrior is a timeless bout, and there's already ripples of noise and fervor in the crowd as the Not-An-Elezen charges in at the miqo'te. Raha, for his part, leans into the strikes, his ax coming up once, twice, three times to fend off the blows, the fourth one sinking into the leather and chain mail of that jacket. He grins though, feeling the bite of that sword ,the pain of the cut. After last night's humiliation against Terra, he had no intention of making this one easy.

    He steps right back in, locking ax with sword, his head pressing against Tomoe's aggressively. "If that's how you intend to do things, then FINE."
    The miqo'te steps back and SWATS at the Paladin with the flat of his ax, using the weight of the blade to look to stun his opponent.

Tomoe has posed:
The Battle is now well underway, and Tomoe seems to be enjoying herself and she could be mistaken for an Elezen it's true. With N'Raha now counter-attacking Tomoe grins.

"Hey if I go easy on it would end badly for me."

She also gets Axed a question, she moves her shield to block it but the sheer force of the hit rattles her pretty good, and she'll move to leap over N'Raha trying to land behind him and launch into a sword art on him. Her blade glows green for a moment and she'll launch into two quick strikes.

"Got to say I like your style!"

N'raha Tia has posed:
    No one is expecting a barn stormer here with flippy shit. That said, there's some flippy shit. Raha grouses as Tomoe leaps over the top of him, his ax coming up for a swipe that misses, but he quickly recovers, spinning in place and- Steel meets steel again, and N'raha just leans into the strikes, the blows glancing off aether barriers as he raises his defenses. It looks like after last night, he's not taking chances.
    a grin. "Sorry, but after Nova pulled me to pieces, I ain't letting that happen again. Not again.

    He steps in and shoulder checks the Not-Elezen, aiming to put Tomoe on the ground so he can just do a nice plain overhand CHOP on the girl.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe says "Nova is quite the fight and I guess I'll have to mix things up more then."

N'Raha's style is simple but effective and if it ain't broke don't fix it right? She'll not be quite enough to avoid this incoming hit. The impact is not direct as Tomoe is able to brace herself but she's on the ground she's also not bleeding from he hit her gear and herself have glowing red wireframe effect at the point of injury for her. She does not seem daunted though as she gets back up aiming to kick N'Raha on the way up, then attempt a shield slam him as she sets up for her next manoeuvre. If she can she's going to start trying to move away from N'Rara? What's she up to now?

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The shield bash is something that the catman is 'used to' but you can't ever REALLY be ready when someone is beating you in the head and chest with a big piece of metal backed by magical energy. He staggers back and scuffs his boots on the stone.
    There's some hooting and cheers in the crowd, and then a very clear voice calls out 'PUT ON A GOOD SHOW LIEUTENANT OR I'M DOCKING YOUR PAY!' A glance up would reveal Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn herself, flanked by top brass from the maelstrom.
    Raha's ears flick a bit, before he steps back in. There's a feint, two three stepps the wrong way, before Raha's frame FLICKERS in a cloud of aether and dust, and then he's on top of her, shoulder tackling Tomoe from a distance.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe does take note the leader of the city-state is here cheering to the crowd and threating to dock her pay she can't help but grin at that.

"Seems the Admiral deemed it right to come to see this fight. I'm honoured and they really care about you don't they. You have done your home good I'd say but as she says? Let us give them a show!"

She will then move to leap back red wing forming from her back but they let the light pass through then and she'll fly up and perch on the Etherite in the middle of the plasma where she'll start to chant, in Norse. She really needs to get more help from Inga on that.

The Runes dance about her body and then she finishes as rays of light seek out N'Raha with Tomoe deeming fly down to one of the docks nearby with a grin.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The Aetheryte! He's not allowed to hit that! Raha snarls as he looks up at Tomoe, only to get plastered in the face by one of those energy beams, his armor scorhingg, the hat flying away into the water. The miqo'te huffs, his black hair wild and free now, the pony tail gone. A growl in his chest, that lion's roar building up. "COME ON THEN. We gonna fight or are we going to dance?"

    There's a snarl and the catman swings his ax upwards, energy blades lancing out, trying to swat Tomoe out of the sky and back to the stones.
    "I DID THIS ONE LAST NIGHT."

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe does not remain on the Aetheryte for long as she sees the miqo'te is not in the best of the moods, she'll move to come down. "Never fight your foe on their terms always make them fight on yours"

She also is having to get the heck down at this point as the Axe is coming right at her the energy blade connect and she'll gain more wireframe injuries as she drops back to the pavement in a couch and then rise and dart at N'Raha trying to flank him with a rapid series of attacks.

"I don't know about you but I'm having a blast here!"

N'raha Tia has posed:
    Though, Raha's idea of 'a blast' is a little bit skewed, as his eyes are hitting that red color again. The Inner Beast is loose, and there's more than a little wrath floating around the cat man. Stray aether casts off him in a haze, energy roiling off his frame as he shifts in place and...

    Unleash. There's a lion's roar, and a look of plain JOY in the catman's eyes, as he snatches up his ax, Bravura glowing a crimson fire as he whips around in place, raises up the axe in an arc and then... SMASHES it down on the simulated stone, shattering a part of the aetheryte plaza, and possibly parts of Tomoe too, if she doesn't move.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe is flashing back to fighting some of the Imperium of Man's foes in a moment and that's all that saves her she can see N'Raha Coming in she'll pop a number of her cool down to brace herself for the powerful hit. Stone goes everywhere she's hit she's quite messed up in its aftermath but she's not finished here, she's not finished by a long shot.

"I think we can safely say we're making a show of it."

She notes a bit pained voice.

Her next action is to rush N'Raha trying to strike him in a combo of blows to force him back maybe towards the water near the plaza's edge if she can pull it off.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    Beaten and bruised, Raha is finding himself shoved back and back and back by the sudden onrush of blows. The crowd is getting into it, shouts and cries ringing out, pirates cheering and jeering and sea shanties ringing out foretelling the death of both competitors.
    They're pirates, deal.

    Jabs and pokes all find their home, Raha's jacket ripped and torn and shredded as he staggers back and then finally plants his feet on the edge of the stone, the back of his knees bumping up against the low railing. A lion's roar, and then he lashes back out. A countering flurry of strikes, wide and heavy, looking to batter that shield out of the way and open up the Paladin to further damage. "TILL THE SEA, TOMOE." His tail swishes, his eyes gleam, and all of his hackles are up now.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe totally deals with the fans they are pirates after all honest to god pirates you'd expect in the movies or games on her world walking about. They are clearly having a grand old time watching the fight and Tomoe intends to keep it up. Raha's pretty messed up but he's still going he's still not dropping.

The hits come slamming into the shield again and again and it's doing some serious damage here Tomoe is clearly getting messed up but she's not done yet, not yet.

"Till the Sea? I see!"

She might not know the local saying of till the sea swallows all. She gets the intent roughly.

She moves back throws her shield at N'Raha hopefully to distract him while she comes in for a series of blows with her sword, simple quick and hopefully effective.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The catman was reaching for his waist, for something in the aether, his hand flickering out to snag at... well. Energies, to lash himself to Tomoe and forestall the end of this...

    When that sword tip neatly sinks past his armor and into his chest. The light goes out of his eyes in an instant, and he just...

    "Oh." And then he's slumping forward.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe knows not to let up on N'Raha he is someone she sees as a peer when it comes to protecting one's party from harm and she's good at it he's pushing her hard, she won't last much longer and she knows it. She scores a hit she makes ready for a counter attack but N'Raha drops from her last strike. She sees him go Oh and just falls forward. She'll move to pull her weapon out and signal to the refs that the fight it over the announcer calls out her victory and the arena starts to reset she'll over N'Raha a hand up.

"Hell of a fight my friend, and I do have to ask to know any good places to eat in the city replicated here I have always been meaning to visit it."

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The Warrior slumps down, and is caught by the Paladin, his eyes unfocused for a long moment or two... before the energies of the Shrine kick in, and he's getting abck up to his feet. There's jeering and boos and some cheers and just general noise among the pirate patrons, though. The catman's eyes lock on Tomoe again, and he sighs, ears wilting. "That's me out of the tournament. Three losses."
    A moment to clap the not-elf on the shoulder, before he sighs, and steadies himself. "...Twelves. I did better in the WMAT."

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe seems to get where N'Raha's coming from though. She seems to appreciate the clap on the shoulder and make sure he's not going to fall over. She then tilts her head a bit. "I'm out too, this was my last match and my second win. By God, though I had fun and ha there are some old memories there. Come one let us shove off shall we?"
