forwardFateWell shit, who let the Flux player in? Too much tagging up in this biz. Eun-Ji's dreamself was pretty swole, all things considered. Kinda willowy, rocked the hipster in a sundress and glasses lock pretty well. But those were some pretty chiseled muscles she was rocking under all that muslin. She wielded her cane as if it were her penis, tightly clenched that B.S in her two hands. horrorTerror had secured them some pretty sweet digs. Well, as sweet as any spot in the dreambubbles could be when their constantly shifting nature made no spot really distinguishable from the next. Eun prayed for a bathroom scene to appear at some point. Dunk that shovel wielding bitches' head where it belonged. Anyways, the inordinate amounts of meta present made Eun realize, in a spark of inspiration as bright as her 200+ IQ points (hell yes that was an exaggerated metaphor), that she needed to describe her weapon. Focal point of the scene and all. She considered rejecting the idea, rejected the idea of rejecting it. Her cane was D Astack Mode, the result of too much ironic nerding out over children's trading card games and hardly less puerile DOTA rejects that produced an endgame weapon purely by accident. She'd argued back and forth with forwardFate for some time over the specifics, and eventually they'd haggled out endgame weapons. D Astack Mode was a nigh unspeakably shitty, withered piece of wood, the sort of thing your grandfather would have been ashamed to be caught with, but it held impressive amounts of Doom contamination. It started out as just a hunk of wood. Every attack it completed on an underling stored power. By the time it hit endgame it could cleave chunks off the Black King's vial by itself, so empowered it was by all the deaths it was absorbing and redirecting. A girl's best friend, this cane. "Yo, stop lurking and get out here already, we have penis brandishing to get down to!" Her voice was deep for her appearance, echoed smoothly through the... however sound even echoed in a dreambubble.

Tefera was already on edge by the time she makes it to the dream bubble. She really fucking hated these things - everything from the stupid way the Others watch on from the outside to the stupid way the dead idiots with the white eyes watch on from the inside. Really they're nothing more than giant festering staring arena's, and Tefera can't be gladder that this is the only place she can realistically beat the shit out of someone not in her session. Nice one, SBURB. Thanks a bunch, SBURB. I hope you learnt to recognise human sarcasm after all these years, SBURB.
Much like her soon to be opponent, not that either would realise this, Tefera also had a sudden burning urge to mentally describe her weapon. Knell of Spades was her magnum opus of her current session earnt through the horrible abuse of her Time powers. It's a fantastic piece, if she do say so herself; although the ridiculous ringing noise it makes every time it kills something is not appreciated at all. It's pretty heavily infused with Time, which is where it's true prowess comes in - it actually exists a couple of seconds ahead of itself, so when she's swinging to hit, her opponents feel the impact two or three seconds before it should technically occur. Never let anyone say that Tefera play's a Bard badly, because there's no one that saw this shit coming.
It can also dig holes in a matter of seconds by speeding up its own local time, but something tells her that that won't go down well with her opponent of the day. A bit too close to using actual Aspect abilities, maybe. Only time will tell if Tefera ends up using such an ability, she supposes. It's a good job she's all about Time right now.
Tefera spotted who she assumed must be the illustrious KA, in the flesh, less than a minute after Tefera herself had arrived. She chooses to do the right and noble thing, and crouched behind a rock to watch her. There isn't anything super notable about her, really. KA appears to be a human, which nearly makes Tefera laugh out loud, because when has a human ever been able to take down the pounds upon pounds of grey skinned muscle that make up a troll? She could probably skewer KA on one of her double-pronged horns and have it done with before any time has even passed. They both wore Derse robes, which delighted Tefera even more. Oh, she'd been needing to beat down a Derse player for a while now. This was going to do her a world of good.
When KA calls out, Tefera bristles despite herself. Had KA known? She really hoped KA hadn't known. She quickly jumped out from behind her rock, brushing herself off and leaning casually on her shovel as if she'd been there the whole time. Nicely done. "I'm not lurking," she hisses, voice accented from years of speaking nothing but Alternian, but understandable from years of being stuck in a game where apparently no one can fucking speak Alternian. "Standing around and waiting isn't lurking. It's you being an idiot for not recognising I was here. But no, please, go ahead. Brandish your human penis all you want. I'm sure everyone's going to be very impressed by it. The Others in particular have always loved being exposed to freakish genitalia."

Eun had to admit that the maroon(5)blood's shovel looked pretty good, as far as shovels went. Eun didn't even need to have a scouter to detect the over 9k levels of Time contamination, it was veritably leeching off the handle with the usual vaguely cartoonish wisps of power Sburb loved using. Her own weapon was a good deal more subtle and quiet, for all of it's masquerading as her metaphorical phallus. She stroked it gently, as was inappropriately appropriate. Tisked once, brightly, wearing an easy and casual smile even as she stared her opponent in her monochrome face.
The heavy accent Tefera carried was pretty much a neon sign with boobies on it proclaiming 'yo Alternain do you speak it motherfucker?'. So Eun did. "Hey, I'll admit I failed the perception roll." Her own Alternian was accented, far too soft and delicate to really carry the oomph of the far harsher language's convoluted consonant structure. But Eun prided herself all the same on being one of the rare humans who could speak the language. Some of ATH's brightest innovators coded primarily in Alternian, so she'd needed to make the effort. Worth? Eh, probably not. "But just so you know, most humans can't see through the ground so your usual strat of digging a hole for yourself to hide in ain't gonna work. Save that for after I clobber you."
She let her hunk of junk cane rest in the earth beneath her, which turned from concrete to puddle to rocky beach all within a second. It would be interesting, if the shifting dreambubble environment constantly changed the terrain tactics on them. Annoying, but eh. Eun hadn't gone this far to not stubbornly keep going for no good reason.
"Remember, no specials. Except for me, cause I'm the most special. And don't complain, that was a shitty and offensive joke." Probably hadn't translated, so safer to clarify. "Whenever you're ready."

Eun had a very good grasp of Alternian, with an interesting cadence and register that was actually quite pleasant to the ear - especially compared to the guttural tones that were considered proper for the language. Tefera quite enjoyed hearing it, if she was honest, given that she hardly ever got to hear real Alternian any more."Wow, great job at butchering the beauty of my native tongue, you rampaging asshole. Really makes me miss home, where people actually knew how to put two words together," Tefera spat in brutish Alternian, eyebrows furrowed as was typical for her.
She walked towards Eun, assuming a position across from her. Tefera's shovel trailed behind her as she walked, but the resultant line in the ground was marked out just before her as she moved. It was a cool effect that made Tefera feel like a total Time master, which was not something that she would ever admit out loud.
"I remember your stupid rules. I've been ready since I got here," she growls, rolling her eyes in an exaggerated motion. Being a big believer in doing the right and moral thing, Tefera immediately set about running forward and sweeping at Eun with her shovel, adjusting her movements to work alongside Knell of Spade's slightly too fast time. Hopefully, she would get a few good hits in against Eun before she realised that she was being hit by a time impression, rather than the actual thing.

"Uh durr I don't know how speak sorry." Eun was good enough to purposely mess up the language, as opposed to accidental lingual failure. But man this troll was mad. She could put this troll on her fries she came off that salty. Eun just tilted her head slightly, channeling her inner anime protag. Smiled blithely, as if she wasn't seeing all the irritation and brow furrowing and all. But even while she tried to look as dopey and valley girl as she could manage Eun was keeping her senses sharp. Observing what happened as Tefera approached. Eyes all over that, and not just because the bod was choice. She made a note about how there was some sort of trail appearing in front of the shovel as it dragged along the ground, marking where the shovel would be. Time contamination, pre-ordained trail...
"They're as much your rules as they are mine, I wanted non alchemized weapons yo."
That's all she had time to say before she was hit. Like, WTF? The shovel hit her before it hit her. Well that was the catch then. The other catch was physics finally catching up with her and making her feel a force. In the face. Eun's limber body reacted, she pitched to one side. With a veteran's control, carried herself into a roll so she didn't splatter over the ground. She used the roll to gain some distance.
Check the stats. As per usual her Scamperway was stupid high. She had the old flash step training, but that counted as a special ability. By what standard? Her own, that's what. She was stubbornly determined to hold to the rules of their engagement despite her Hope instincts telling her to reject rules and decorum. So no doing the ninja thing. That left her with good old dodging, which would have to be predictive in nature. She'd need to mind game the swings of the shovel. Check on the old Brainitude...
Well fuck.

Laughter bubbled out of Tefera's mouth, a nasty grin spreading across her face as Eun was smacked in the face and forced to roll away after the blow. The Time aspect of her shovel never failed to be a hit - Tefera laughed a tad louder at her own joke, although she hoped that Eun thought Tefera was just being an asshole and not laughing at her own joke. Tefera felt like it wasn't obvious that she was laughing at herself right now, but she'd never had the best poker face.
"That felt good," Tefera growled out, "Especially after that spectacle of language maiming that you laid out so nicely for me. What? Not gonna hit me back? I suppose I shouldn't expect such a big ask from someone who so clearly lacks any forward thinking skills."
Tefera ran forward again, aiming for another high shot. She was running on the assumption that Eun hadn't noticed what Knell of Spades could do, and would keep running on that assumption until Eun proved otherwise. Tefera hadn't gotten to being the stubborn, pig-headed troll she was by being wishy washy with her plans, after all.

Laugh that loud the maroonblood had to be maxing out her bullshit-o-meter on some painfully bad pun. Ugh, again with the Flux contamination in the area giving her the accurate but totally unwanted inklings to the meta narrative of the fight. She was half tempted to call a ceasefire and relocate the fight to somewhere without all the constant intrusion of gratuitous storyboarding. But Eun got the sense that the fight was already too far gone to be stopped. This particular troll seemed a bit... totally berko. Sis was right, it was always the shovel-wielding ones.
"I'll hit on you in a second, I'm just thinking up my game plan yo." That was nice and all but she had to think faster. Forward thinking skills indeed. Stupid Time player bonus to predictive thinking.
Okay. Shovel still en route. Destination, definitely somewhere above the chest. Eun's memory had a snapshot of the first hit still on hand, she quickly worked out some inkling of the actual retroactive delay of the shovel strike. All in a moment, then she acted. If she took the hit... now- ouch, by the way- then that meant that Tefera would be right there when the attack finished connecting. Eun grit her teeth and took the full blow, both times that it applied. Stood her ground, so she could swing D CANE (her colloquial term for it) at where Tefera was going to be when the attack actually connected.
Shovel right to the boobs. Guess Tef dug those tatas, aayyy. Eun would have been laughing at her own shit pun if she wasn't momentarily dazed by the pain.
Hope her opponent liked Eun's response, in the form of the energy of one hundred basilisk deaths.

Tefera's confidence was quickly taken down a notch by the force of a Doom coated cane being swung deftly into the side of her head with a resounding crack. She felt a sickening feeling rush through her, both from the Doom poison seeping from the cane and from, well, being smacked on the side of the head with powerful force. Nausea was a pretty common symptom of head trauma, she was sure. Tefera held her mouth firmly shut as she locked her body in place, not wanting to give any room after Eun had withstood her own hit. That would just be embarrassing.
After she overcame the immediate and rather powerful urge to vomit, Tefera's face split into an ugly grin. Close into Eun's personal space as she was, it was likely an ugly site - troll's teeth were notoriously bad. "I said hit me, not hit on me, but your black solicitations are duly noted," she spat, eager to continue the verbal fight alongside the physical one. Years of being an asshole had taught Tefera that consistently insulting people was an excellent method of pissing them off. Tefera was all about pissing people off.
Tefera feels a little bit of vomit at the back of her throat again, and mentally curses that stupid fucking cane. She pushes at Eun, taking a step backwards as she does in an attempt to distance herself from that cane while maintaining a general air of superiority about herself. She pulls it off pretty well, if she does say so herself. Which she does. She swings her shovel up to rest on her shoulder, cocking one leg over the other. "Maybe you should stop beating around the bush and show me the ugly human genitalia I was promised. It might even manage to be more impressive than this sorry display, although that wouldn't be all that hard."
