At The Wedding Tent: Battle Thread

Dancing, celebrating, mingling, greeting and great lighting were in the order of the day for Masin as the Maid of Honor at the Bridges wedding. She has spend most of the night taking care of the details, rather than enjoying herself. But the reception had been going on for quite a while and Masin had finally grabbed Zane, pulling him onto the dance floor with her. She, of course, had noticed him looking incredibly good all night long and finally she was going to get what the Maid of Honor deserved- a hot guy for the night.

Suddenly, while dancing a slow dance, Masin heard a strange sound over the music. "Stop..." she muttered. She turned to the band and raised a hand in the air, "Stop! Stop the music!" the crowds eventually turned to look at her and she grabbed onto Zanes arm, listening intently. There is was again. That sound...

She realized too late what was happening when a group of about thirty or forty people ripped through the side of the tent, swords in hand. Chaos started to ensue as wedding guests scattered, some of them revealing weapons from trinkets or other places hidden on their person,  but most were defenseless. She tightened her grip on Zane's arm and took a few quick steps back, "Zane, get to the Garrison, GO!" she pushed him hard as she turned back toward where Ember and Dylan were moments ago.

"Chancellor! Someone get her out of here!" Masin yelled over the noise, searching for Ember Lynn through the crowds...

@anyone else at the wedding!

(this is only one of the battle threads. Feel free to start others on other places in the island, other places at the wedding, etc. This isn't like the party threads, it doesn't all have to be done in one place, but feel free to start here and move on or whatever!)

(FIGHTING: You may make generalizations about the enemy and introduce your opponent NPC, but once the combat between your character and an enemy starts, make sure to tag @theenemy so we can respond and fight one on one!

ADDITION: Hey ya'll- go ahead and control your enemies a little bit when you need to, just tag the Enemy account when you want a one on one. We will use the enemy account to attack specific people, coordinate when enemies go where, etc. This'll be a project, but let's try and find a balance. In short, don't always wait on us, but don't do mass destruction or anything crazy either. Challenge yourselves!)

Jason's Battle Theme

Jason stood as Masin ordered the music to a stop. Jason wore a long sleeved vest and tie. His facial hair had grown, as he felt no need for shaving since coming to the island. He had grown bigger- his arms and legs and chest. He'd spent every day training, and fighting and clawing. After the quest he'd pushed doubly hard, to make sure he'd never be afraid when the time came. So that he wouldn't....feel the kind terror he did on that journey. So as Masin turned and shouted, Jason would already be walking passed her. In his right hand he held a sword, which he had of course brought with him. One of the few who had, probably. Mel had said to him, long ago, that they were safe. That nobody knew where they were. Jason hadn't believed it and she grew angry with him...because he hadn't suffered as they had.

He planned to show her, and those present, that he would not only suffer with them....he would bleed and die with them if he had to.

In his left hand was a shield of the sea-god, one he had found on their travels. He had taken it gladly, as a gift from his father. One he would use to crack the sea-gods skull. Still, it shimmered brightly in the sun. Jason bared his teeth, and would bring the shield up, using it like an extension of his fist as he would smash the bridge into the face of the nearest titan warrior.

"Ádi̱s periménei!"

@theenemy

Tere had made it a point to spend as much time as possible in two places, in @ashton's arms and on the dance floor - preferably at the same time. That is where she was as the voice of fellow bridesmaid and maid of honor said something to stop the music. Her eyes opened and snapped to the woman, at first angry, but then, she heard it, whatever it was that Masin had heard.

That is when the crap hit the fan. As people scattered, Tere's glanced around for Aquata and Arista, both had joined her at the wedding, as had the rest of her crew. She pulled away from Ashton as Aquata tossed her her rapier and her gun. Then she looked at him one last time before she went nodded to her sisters. Aquata and Arista would see Ember safe and sound. They would protect the sister that was most important.

Tere met one of the enemies head to head, coming up with a blocking blow of her blade.

TITAN #1, JASONS CURRENT OPPONENT:JACOB

Jacob took a bash to the face with a shield. He, like many of his comrades, were expecting very few of their Greek and Roman enemies to have weapons at this little celebration they had stumbled upon. Still, the bash to the nose was enough to remind him of those few who did carry their weapons at all times. He reached up, popping his nose back into place and ignoring the blood as he lifted his own sword and shield toward his attacker. He lifted the sword, bringing it down toward Jason from above, while swinging his shield around to cover his center and simultaneously push Jason backward.

@calloway

EGYPTIAN #1, @tere's CURRENT OPPONENT: RAJEEM

Rajeem stepped forward to fight a woman coming toward him, but his sword was soon blocked by hers. He twisted his sword at the hilt, trying to rip her own sword out of her hands. Or, merely, use it as a distraction to reach his foot forward and attempt to kick the girl hard in the stomach. "Nice dress," he muttered, clearly mocking her chosen battle attire.

Well, they didn't really choose to be attacked right now, did they?

Jason hadn't shied away from his opponent- Jacob, though he would never know his name. The eyes of the first man he intended to kill. He knew he was supposed to...feel some sort of way about that. But the Sea God's blood pumped through his veins, and he knew nothing except battle. Except the training he had rigorously prepared for. He would purse his lips and spit- but not the normal spit. He used his literally God-given abilities to force water in his spit into a needle and propel from his mouth like a bullet for Jacobs eye.

Assuming the male was covering his center and able to see him to attack with the sword, his face and eyes must be above the shield itself, which left them open. Assuming his water-needle hit he would spin left, clockwise, bending/crouching low to try and slash at the back of Jacobs knee. If he hit he would spin back counter clockwise and use his shield to smash the falling boy in the side and send him flying before turning to the next opponent and attacking viciously with a left to right sword slash.

He was not here to talk and find out why they were here. He didn't care if they were kids or men. They were attacking his sisters wedding. He would slay them all.

@theenemy

TITAN #1, @calloway CURRENT OPPONENT: JACOB

A sharp pain shot into Jacobs eye and he stumbled back, nearly walking right into Jasons swing at his knee. Luckily, he jumped at the last second and the sword didn't make eye contact. Sadly, even though he dodged that attack, Jacob was smashed by the shield and thrown into a small group of people. But he'd be back once he got his footing.

TITAN #2, @calloway: MARK

Mark, blocked with his axe, a sudden attack at his side from Jason, attempting to push back with his sword. He growled angrily as he swung around with his second ax, aiming for Jasons right ribcage.

Tere smirked as she looked up at the guy trying to mock her, keeping a firm grip on her sword. "Thanks, Asshole, This dress has some perks you know." She taunted back before she was kicked hard in the gut, the kick sending her back onto her back. However, before he could move in on her, she would already be moving to a hand stand, if he got to close he would end up getting kicked right in the jaw as she flipped back onto her feet and then turned, bringing the sword around to aim at him. If he went low, he'd get hit in the head without a block, if he went high he'd end up getting a slice right across his gut that without a block would disembowel him in one slice.

@theenemy    

EGYPTIAN #1, @tere 's CURRENT OPPONENT: RAJEEM

Before he could make another move after his kick to her stomach, she was flipping into a handstand and kicking him square in the jaw. He stumbled back, rolling his neck a little as he lifted his sword to block her attack at his gut. "You're pretty fast," he mused, suddenly pulling throwing stars out of seemingly nowhere and tossing them at her with his free hand.

Jason would not lose out on the fact that Jacob had not been bitten by his blade and would likely be back to attack. As Mark swung his second ax, Jason slid back with his blade and shield, shifting the metal over to block the strike. Then he would leap upward and stab downward, aiming to nearly sheath his blade in Mark's shoulder, similar to achilles with boagrius.

If his surprise offensive worked, he would attempt to kick an ax from his enemies hand like a football player, aiming to send the madly flailing blade back at Jacob.

@theenemy

Tere smirked and nodded "You have no idea just how fast I am, darlin." She taunted on as she went for another slicing shot, but before she could he was throwing stars at her. Really? one of her weapons of choice? She managed to dodge most of them. She did however catch the last one with a hiss but ignored the pain and blood of catching the razor sharp star as she turned and threw it back at him, aiming for his face while pivoting back with her sword, going for another low gut shot that was aimed for wherever he dodged, if he dodged.

@theenemy

Mark for @calloway

Welp, Jasons attack worked and he basically died.

Jacob for @calloway

An axe came flying back toward him, Jacob managed to duck while the axe when into one of his comrades faces. Jacob yelled, taking at a run toward Jason with his sword, aiming to jump at the last second and make contact with Jasons neck via sword blade.

Rajeem for @tere

He managed to dodge the star she threw back at him, but mid-laugh of amusement her sword sliced right through his center, causing him to be dead.

Amelia for @tere

Amelia turned just in time to see her fellow Egyptian comrade sliced in half. She reached back, pulling a machine gun out of its sling and firing at Tere.

(MACHINE GUN)

Jason hadn't even seen his face....as quickly as that, his blade was buried in his enemies neck and blood was bubbling around his hand. He pulled it from the neck, the length stained red. He shouted as Jacob- who was now one eyed- came rushing back. He was a quick learner- same attack pattern and everything. But Jason didn't develop his strengths without knowing their weaknesses, and Jason was now on stable ground- not like the now dead Mark. He was prepared.

He would tuck and roll left, avoiding the neck strike while getting a clean shot at Jacob's ribs. Jason would slash upward, aiming to cut Jacob in the ribcage and sever the muscles to his back and abdomen. Then he would stand and shout at the enemy.

"YOU DARE!? AT A WEDDING!? COME ON!"

He would charge up the hill for Amelia's back, aiming to leap up and viciously cut her throat, likely spraying Tere and the area with blood.

@theenemy

Tere turned just in time to see a woman pulling a gun on her, a freaking MACHINE GUN!!! She made to duck, knowing that there was one thankful thing about machine guns, nine times out of ten, they were spray and prays. In this case though, two of the many bullets hit her, one in the leg, the other in the shoulder. Thankfully, she could fight left handed just as well as she could right.

When she looked up though, she saw that Jason had jumped the woman. She stood, getting sprayed in blood and then glanced down at herself for a moment. "Ember is going to kill you later." She said and then gripped her sword with her left hand. Turning, she whistled a loud sound that echoed through the area. Her crew who had stayed to fight all began to sing, Tere joined in and their voices began to take on an eerie enchantment. Around them the winds began to howl, above them cumulus clouds built up on themselves. And just as she reached the course of the song, thunder rumbled loud over the tend, rain poured, and lighting began to fork around the area.

@calloway
@theenemy

The Song

Braden for @calloway

Amelia's throat would be cut cleanly, spraying the area with blood. However, another individual, Braden, would come up while he was busy and attempt to slash him across the back from left shoulder to right hip!

Kevin for @tere

Teresia, meanwhile, would indeed get her storm coming in. While most were shocked by it, however, one individual would tackle her from the side, sending both of them smashing through a table!
