MECC: Yomi Isayama vs Sarracenia
Date of Scene: 11 May 2019
Location: MECC Fighting Stage 3
Synopsis: Yomi Isayama vs. Sarracenia
Cast of Characters: Yomi Isayama, Sarracenia


Yomi Isayama has posed:
"..another tall girl, huh." Yomi unshoulders her sword case and pulls out the sheathed Shishiou, holding the scabbard in one hand as she strides closer to the middle of te arena. Once she's in place, she gives Sarracenia a polite bow, then smiles at the princess as she straightens up. "Nice to meet you. I like that dress." It wouldn't look good on -her-, but Yomi can still acknowledge nifty clothes when she sees them!

As soon as the signal is given, the exorcist dashes forward. Her right hand grasps the handle of her sword, but rather than draw it fully, she waits until she's rather close before jerking it out just slightly, intent on jamming the hilt into Sarracenia's midsection as an opening move to get some space. Another, smoother motion, and she draws the blade fully, continuing her shoulders' rotation to swing the blunt sheath in a follow-up strike.

Sarracenia has posed:
     Sarracenia curtseys in turn and smiles to Yomi. "Thank you! I designed it myself to both look stylish and survive the rigors of combat much more readily than my usual fare." As Yomi dashes forward, Sarracenia reaches into her satchel and pulls out what looks like a long staff...right up until the point where it is tipped by a hammer that looks like it weighs more than she does.

     The princess does not really try to block the hit, but by a stroke of luck the hammer head emerges just at the right time to parry Yomi's strike and send the princess sliding a bit. She gives her hair a toss and smirks. "I am Princess Sarracenia Sundew, Crown Princess of the Sundew Kingdom. It is nice to meet you as well. But, do not think I shall be easy to defeat simply because I am a princess!"

     Sarra goes into a graceful ballet spin at that with her hammer held out at length. Like a weighted top she starts twirling toward Yomi, aiming a series of hammer hits at the shorter girl.

Yomi Isayama has posed:
A staff... no, a hammer? "Isayama Yomi, exorcist. I don't get to meet princesses too often." Especially strong ones, given how easily her opponent seems to swing that hammer around. As it gets close, Yomi quickly flips back, avoiding the first swing. She holds on the defensive for a few more swings, parrying one strike with her sword, dodging another. One manages to catch her arm with enough force to spin her around, and she quickly leaps back out of range as soon as she regains her balance.

"I don't think I've ever been to any Sundew Kingdom before, though. Maybe I should add that to my multiversal list." Rather than charging straight back in, Yomi darts to the side, picking up speed and traversing a wide arc in a surprisingly short time before running past Sarracenia, her sword slashing out toward the princess as she moves through.

Sarracenia has posed:
     "It is definitely worth a visit! I think it is considered unusual even by Multiversal stndards." Sarracenia says even as she spins. She loses momentum finally, possibly due to being a bit dizzy after such a spin. But, that dizziness and the resulting unsteadiness allows her to move to the side just as that sword comes slashing out. It still catches her in the arm, cutting into her leather gloves and the skin beneath. Sarra yelps softly at the hit, then sighs. "I know it is a battle dress...but it is still rather upsetting when it gets damaged." she says, pouting a bit and looking at the cut.

     Rather than try to close the distance again, Sarracenia reaches into her satchel again and pulls out a rather cute-looking bomb thing. "Go, little Bob-omb!" Sarracenia throws it at Yomi, and wherever it lands the Bob-omb unleashes a small but violent explosion.

Yomi Isayama has posed:
"It is a nice dress," Yomi admits with a nod. "Sorry, but it can't be helped." About halfway through that tossed... thing's arc, it clicks for the exorcist that it's an explosive. She's not going to try to slash it like she made the mistake of doing recently with some torpedoes, though! Instead, she tries to time her dodge to the side to avoid the blast entirely... but she mistakes the bob-omb's movement just a bit, and the resulting explosion sends her flying back, shrapnel burning small holes through her uniform. "I am going through far too many of these lately..." She can already hear the elcture she's going to get back home.

Shaking her head to clear out the ringing from the explosion, Yomi advances toward Sarracenia again, then breaks into a run. About halfway to the princess, she leaps up, raising her sword... and then lands on the other side, neatly sheathing it again. Dropping into a crouch, she spins quickly, trying to sweep Sarracenia off her feet, then following up with a chi-fueled palm strike from her free hand.

Sarracenia has posed:
     "I had the same problem!" Sarracenia says of Yomi's comment about the damage to clothing. "That is why I commissioned this battle dress!" she says, apparently happy to have someone appreciate her dress. "If you would like, I would be happy to create such a garment for you as...well?" She watches Yomi fly over her, then blinks as that leg sweep catches her. The princess goes down, but a quick roll keeps her from taking the chi-strike. "How tricky!" she says, wincing a bit where she landed on her shoulder after the trip. "And impressive!" she says even as she leaps...but rather than going over Yomi, she is just going for a standard overhead swing...or so it seems until she pulls back from the overhead swing and goes into a twirl, aiming a leg sweep of her own. If you can call it a leg sweep when the hammer head can basically hit the entire leg.

Yomi Isayama has posed:
"I'm not so sure leather is a look I can pull off. Besides, I work for the government. Can't be on my job outside of my uniform, or the school will complain." Yomi prepares to dodge that overhead swing, but as it turns into a sweep... well, not quite a sweep, given the head of the mallet is so huge! She twists to the side, but it still slams her hard enough to send her tumbling along the ground.

Yomi is a little unsteady rising back to her feet, but she quickly falls back into a ready stance. Taking a breath, she draws her sword again, and the air around her begins to shimmer. "Ranguren!" The shimmering solidifies into the form of the great Guardian Beast, letting out wisps of steam that dissipate in the air around it. As Yomi arcs around to the right, the nue lets out a roar and charges straight in, leaping toward Sarracenia and slamming downward with both front paws.

Sarracenia has posed:
     "Hmm...that does make it more difficult." Sarracenia agrees, then ponders even as she watches Yomi go tumbling along. "Perhaps there is some sort of durable material that could be made into a uniform?" she says, turning to the side in thought. The shout of Ranguren makes her blink. "Ranguren? Is that some sort of cloth?" she asks as she turns to look.

     And yelps as that Guardian Beast comes barreling toward her. She barely manages to even think about moving before she is pounced and slammed hard to the ground. Left wincing from the forceful pounce and pinned beneath the creature, Sarracenia isn't in a good position! She growls before reaching into her satchel.

     And suddenly as Yomi arcs around, explosions start to erupt! Sarracenia is busy throwing various explosives from her satchel! More Bob-ombs, dynamite, powder bombs, mines, even missiles! She might be trapped, but Sarra is still quite dangerous! "Perhaps we can discuss it later!" she exclaims even as she is attacking.

Yomi Isayama has posed:
That is a lot of explosives! "...right, maybe later!" When she's not trying to dodge these things! Yomi manages to avoid any direct hits, thanks to her speed, but some of the shrapnel still hits her, and the heat from the blasts singes her uniform along with reddening her skin. "I hope you're almost out of those things!"

Once there's a lull in the explosives, Yomi takes the opportunity to adjust the grip on her sword again. Ranguren, who has been hit by a few of the bombs as well, lets up its pinning of Sarracenia, then sweeps its paw, trying to scoop up the princess and launch her up into the air!

At the same time, Yomi darts forward, sword held at her side. She leaps upward and swings the blade out, a fierce horizontal slash that passes by Sarracenia's arc of travel. After her leap, Yomi lands in a neat crouch and stands, a snap of her arm sweeping her sword out to the side.

Sarracenia has posed:
     There is definite red that is dislodged when Yomi flicks her sword like that. The princess had been helpless against the airborn strike, and is probably only saved from landing in two pieces thanks to the arena resetting as she falls. Even then, she lands with a rather solid thud and is unmoving for several seconds. When she does finally move, she looks shaky. She feels over her midsection where she took the hit, nearly hyperventilating from the residual feeling of being cut in two.

     When she feels for herself that she -isn't- in two pieces, she finally starts to relax and recover. "...h-holy mushrooms..." she finally says, slowly getting back to her feet. Unfortunately for her dress, the reset still leaves it firmly cut in two, showing a bit of the princess's well-toned midriff. She looks around, then growls a bit and stamps a foot childishly. "No! How could I lose again?!" she exclaims, fingers curling into an exasperated posture. She has to take several moments fighting with her explosive temper, and many a stuttered and cut off word is uttered between looks toward Yomi.

     When Sarracenia finally has a lid on her emotions again, she turns quickly toward Yomi and manages a smile. "Hehe...g-good fight. I was not expecting someone who looks rather average to employ such skill or tactics." She is obviously having trouble still, but manages to maintain a cordial front. It would be quite unbecoming of a princess to lose composure over a loss in a tournament.

Yomi Isayama has posed:
To be fair, even outside the arena, it wouldn't have been lethal. It probably would have still hurt quite a lot, though! The exorcist sheaths her katana, and as soon as the blade vanishes, Ranguren also fades away into just a shimmer in the air.

Yomi can understand the frustration that her opponent is voicing, so she waits quietly, just taking a few unsteady steps toward Sarracenia. She hasn't escaped unscathed either, and the soreness from being hit by the hammer, along with the residuals of the explosives, means she'll definitely want to take some rest after this. "Average?" yomi blinks a few times, unsure how to take that, but in the end decides to brush it off. "You were right, though. I didn't expect a princess to be so dangerous." She gives another polite bow to her opponent, then reaches forward to offer a handshake. "You definitely pushed my limits."

Sarracenia has posed:
     Sarracenia looks skeptical as to whether she was actually a challenge, but she shakes the hand amicably while she rests her hammer over a shoulder. "That is kind of you to say, but there is no need to flatter me." she says, then takes a deep breath before letting it out slowly. "I was hoping this tournament would help me grow stronger and prove something wrong that said I was weak, but while I might be dangerous to some extent I know I am not actually strong."

     And it is obviously a thorn in her side to know that. She releases Yomi's hand, then stretches a bit. "If you do wish to discuss more durable clothing, do let me know. The same is true if you wish to see the Sundew Kingdom."

Yomi Isayama has posed:
"Don't undersell yourself too much. I'm not speaking idly." Yomi inclines her head up toward the princess and smiles. "Just keep challenging yourself." The exorcist doesn't give vain compliments, so she wasn't kidding when she said how hard the fight was, either.

"I'll definitely look you up sometime. If not about clothes, at least to come see what sort of place your kingdom is."
