This. Your posts are very lacking in the descriptiveness which can make them hard to reply to And it would be appreciated, if you're the first of the two mechs to enter the arena, that you wait to attack until your opponent has entered as well

Sleeping Bear - Response Sleeping Bear was only half-listening to the introductions, he really wished he didn't have to do this but his secretary insisted that this was one time where she absolutely couldn't stand in for him. He didn't see why, all they were doing was saying their names and all he was doing was telling a story. He noticed that two of the competitors had spoken to him and would have ignored them if not for fear of losing his dinner as punishment. It took him a moment to think through what they had said and come up with a response, but eventually he did. "Oh, yes, heir to Pride, Lord mentioned you'd be coming. Greetings are welcome and blah blah blah, moving on." He said more or less politely. He then switched his attention to the other man, Vengeful Ant or something like that. "And people rarely live up to their legends. Except maybe Lord, she has a habit of always overdoing things. Stupid pompous tightass." The last part he muttered under his breath so that Lord's heir wouldn't hear him. He caught on to the trouble brewing on the floor and quickly moved to quell it. "Alright, that's enough. Storytime." He said halfheartedly. "Once upon a time there was nobody ruling this wasteland. And then I fell asleep and earned the right to rule it. I picked it since sloth seemed fitting to me. But since I never do anything, everybody left. Which is fine because that means less stuff to not do and less dinners to lose to Louise, that's my secretary. She's hot but damn is she strict. She's more like my mom than my secretary." He trailed off, realizing he was getting off track. And then he decided he didn't feel like talking anymore. The room was awkwardly silent for a moment before Black Idol cheerily spoke up to fill the void. "Well then, I suppose we're done with the audience, let's get to the arenas and have you all prepared for combat." She said, "Please refer to your personal datascreens* where you've been sent a document detailing all information shared among ll of the challengers. This information is provided to give you a general idea of who you'll be facing in your matches." And with that she led the group out of the room. Sleeping Bear immediately slouched back in his seat and took a nap, simply glad to be done with this stupid audience thing (OOC: *think Accel World HUDs, they just sort pop up in the air and let you read documents and stuff) Sloth Chapter - Combat Phase, Empty Field The air was stale inside the arenas. The stands for each match were mostly silent, only about ten to twenty people sat in them. Many looked like they were only there because it provided shelter from the wind. The field was barren, completely empty. It was neither a specialty field designed to provide variation to combat nor a Standard Field use with Standard One Versus One tournament rules. It looked like someone had taken a stone circle with seats on top, set it down somewhere in the wasteland, and called it an arena. But inside the arenas, held back only by gates that would retract any moment were eight anxious contestants. Some were anxious from excitement, others fear, and the rest anticipation. The gates rose to let them free and eight contestants entered the barren wasteland of an arena for their first match in a tournament to end all tournaments Adam - Arena, vs. Strider Adam rolled out into the field the instant the gate went up, unable to hold back his excitement any longer. He didn't know anything about his opponent outside the fact that they were an SFD mech and the eighth seat in the tourney. His mech was designed to deal with the popular FAD build as well as most melee opponents. He had bested plenty of SFDs before, but this was on a totally different level. If Strider wasn't the lowest ranked opponent he'd probably be scared. But she was, and so he wasn't. He rolled out into the field with confidence, ready to crush what he was certain to be the weakest of his opponents.

Alright, so, a little later today I'm going to post Sleeping Bear's response and then start the Combat Phase. Because of that, I think you'll be needing to see this: Combat Phase The most open phase. The only thing required of you is that you fight with your opponent and come to decide on a winner within a reasonable time. If your fight is taking to long or both parties request it, the winner shall be determined by coinflip. Each Combat Phase will be accompanied by a matchup analysis in the OOC Matchup Analysis

I actually hadn't noticed yet. Or had and forgot, IDK I'll get a post out for them when I can

I almost always take the summoner reduction. I only take perseverance on a select few champs or in certain matchups where I expect to go low

While we're talking CDR booties+distorition, we should also add in the summoner spell CDR reduction mastery and put it all on Annie and then Flash+Tibbarz all the things TBH, I sorta doubt that's actually better than just getting Sorc shoes, but it's fun to have Flash up constantly and drop flaming bears on people

Natalie - Library "Obnoxious?!" Natalie exclaimed, her expression turning quite offended but her eyes not leaving her challenger, "How rude, I am not being obnoxious. In fact I was very explicitly being ostentatious!" It occurred to her that perhaps ostentatious wasn't exactly a good thing either, but she didn't really feel the need to care. She could be whatever she wanted, she was a redhead, the lesser masses had no right to insult her so. Well, maybe they do... And I probably deserve it... She thought for just a moment. But she couldn't admit that, not even to herself. If she did she risked dropping her act, and right now she was in far to fragile a state of mind for that. All she needed was to talk to Haley, was that really so much to ask? She really wish she had found Haley alone, had they been alone Natalie wouldn't have needed to act. Now she had entrapped herself in a battle that neither her facade nor herself was willing to swallow their pride and lose. Her eyes remained locked on her rival, but deep inside they began to waver in fear and self-doubt. Meanwhile Haley remained abhorrently silent, which wasn't helping matters. Natalie desperately wished the girl would just speak up so that this whole fiasco could end.

Adam - Say something characterizing, do nothing Adam stepped forward and gave a polite bow to Sleeping Bear. "I am Silent Requiem, my lord." He said. He stepped back and pondered the Sixth God's appearance while he waited for the others to finish with their introductions. He had heard from Lord that Sleeping Bear was not exactly what one would hope for from a god, but he had not quite expected this. It was jarring to say the least. For someone so used to dealing with a proud and noble god, this was quite the step down. Still, Lord would want him to try to be nice. "As heir to the throne of Pride I extend the greetings of my home plane and thanks for your hospitality." He said when it came his turn to speak again.

Nah, the introduction was separate. Although I was sort of expecting you to take your actions within the same post as you made the introduction. There's no response going to be made from the introduction so there's no reason to wait on taking your actions Edit: There, Adam post should give you a better idea of my intentions. Sorry for the confusion :c Please make ze edeetz to your posts so that you take both of your actions right away

(OOC: Check the OOC thread before posting here, I made info appear) Sloth Chapter - Audience Phase Everyone - The Sixth God's Throne Room The contestants stared up at the throne, some in awe, some in boredom, most probably stared in shock. They had all heard tales of Sleeping Bear, the man who was so strong he had become a god in his sleep, but none of them had imagined he would look quite so... sleepy. He sat their on his throne, although really it was barely more than a chair, halfheartedly looking at them and wholeheartedly looking like he wanted to go back to bed. This man was a god? This man didn't even look like a bear. As they approached, Black Idol stepped forward and bowed, wiping away any hope that this was all some cruel joke. She then turned to the eight contestants and spoke in her cheerful idol voice, "Revenant, Slumbering Giant, Silent Requiem, Hellfire Knight, Ricochet, Supernova, LOLI_HUNTER, and Strider. This is your first Audience with one of the gods, so allow me to inform you of proper procedure. approach the god, bow, and state your alias. You will then have a moment to speak among yourselves or ask questions of the god and myself. Afterwards, the god shall recount a brief history of the plane and then see you on your way." She bowed to the eight of them and then turned back to Sleeping Bear, who was now literally asleep. "My Lord." She said calmly, as though nothing were out of the ordinary, "It is a great honor to present to you the eight challengers of the grand tournament." "Yeah, sure, just get this over with." The way Bear spoke made one wonder if he might be talking in his sleep. The attitude in the room felt stale. The pale lighting provided by the single chandelier to the very grey and crumbling cathedral combined with the Sixth God's attitude to make one feel as though the whole place was simply waiting to die. In fact, perhaps it was. If the winner of this tournament failed, then it might actually die. And yet, with how depressing it was, one might wonder if there was even any point in saving it.

Boop Will check it in an hour or two, doing stuff ATM EDIT: Alright time to kick things off. Here's the info on the audience phase (note, this will go up in the OP shortly in case you need to look at it again later). This time around you aren't allowed to not attend, but the rest is open to you Audience Phase

Why do you always play with everyone but me Huk? D:

*Pokes* Oi, K_H, Acqui, waitin' on you

Katherine - Outside the Faculty Offices Rein, Jasmine, and Emberly. She didn't recognize the first two names, but Emberly was likely the Emberly that was going to be in her homeroom. She had to wonder what Helen was thinking, putting a girl who could so easily undermine her likely already weak authority in her class. Then again, Emberly seemed fairly reasonable, if she had Emberly backing her up instead of pulling authority away from her it would be a positive. Considering Helen had basically lumped all the "problems" into Katherine's class, it was nice to see that at least one of her students could be an asset. After all she had three Laylites: one of whom apparently had a penchant for being violent, Helen's own daughter Natalie: whose red hair made her quite the snob, a girl who had been raised by her father, and a girl who was supposed to be extremely obstinate about her opinions: a trait Katherine shared but nonetheless knew could cause trouble with authority. "That's fine Emberly, in fact I quite appreciate you sticking around." She said calmly, "How about we head inside the offices and use on of the conference rooms to talk? This will be much easier if we're all sitting down and comfortable." (OOC: In case anyone was curious since we won't be visiting classtime, Katherine's classroom consists of everyone except Riv, Sion, Lee, and Lana. As well as lacking in Lexi, Haley, and Sharp as NPCs go)

"getting our existences acknowledged by the people in our immediate vicinity" This line is going in the hall of fame... Which doesn't exist but if it did this would be there
