FIGHT CLUB II: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.

[saam]

WHO:Eshal and EVERYBODY, you're all invited. You don't have to have expressed interest oocly or icly before now to participate!
WHAT: The first inaugural Riftwatch underground boxing tournament... thing.
WHEN: Feel free to hit this up whenever, presumably it's taking place at various times over Harvestmere.
WHERE: The back room of the Boar & Bat pub.
NOTES: Violence! Gambling! Anything worse than that, I'll let you know.

First thing's first: the crowd favorites.

HEROES
• CROWD FAVORITE: Sabine "Red Snatch"
• Skulltimaeus "Fistbreaker"
• Derrica "The Rivaini Raider"
• Laura "Sharps" Kint
• Athessa "Sweet Tessa" Sulanahn
HEELS
• CROWD FAVORITE: Yngvi "Filth Demon" Congealedinagutterson
• Kostos "Babyface Moroney" Averesch
• Findilay
• Barrow "Skullbreaker"
• "Princess" Carla

(Obviously, if you didn't sign up beforehand but still want to have your character fight, feel free!)

Feel free to do whatever you wish with your character and their reaction to being the month's favorite. Crowd favorites will be cheered more, possibly bought drinks, remembered and treated fondly by the crowd, even if they're heels. Bets on their success will be higher, and remember, you're allowed to bet on yourself.

As for the rest: The back room of the pub still has that dirt floor, the bar off to the side, the chairs and tables dirt floor, a bar with drinks and a bartender, and a circle drawn in the middle with chalk.

Eshal holds court at the edge of the circle, calling matches and announcing fighters. Gifted with a booming voice and a 6'2" stature, she's still impossible to miss.

The unspoken mascot of the festivities is the sign stolen from the front, and pinned to the wall, in clear view of the crowd. Beneath it, someone has scrawled into the wall: LEAVE SOBER. This time, someone has also added pretty eyelashes to the face.

(credit to Beka for the wonderful sign!)

The rules of the fights are simple, and repeated before every match: No kicking. No hitting below the belt. No hitting while they're down. Stop when the referee says so. First person who can't get back up after a five count looses.

Fighting isn't the only thing to do, however. There are bets being made in the crowd. Drinks being had. Mingle, cheer, loose some money, win some back, have fun!

Comments

"Sounds like you need a better name than 'Sweet Tessa'," Eshal snickers. "Hurricane Tess. Like the sound of that."

[sulahnan]

"Maybe for the next bout," she says with a grin. She's fine with Sweet Tessa for now, but as if displaying her ability to be a hurricane, she whirls and hits Eshal's palm-target with a backhand and a satisfying smack!

"Oh that was better, more momentum."
