I'm sure all of you (especially the ladies~) are missing everyone's favourite sport.

Struggle match. Anyone who thinks they've got half a chance against me: I challenge you.

ooh that explains it XD

One of these.

[ tosses a struggle bat to her, then gestures towards two barrels, one full of red balls and the other full of blue and explains the rules, blabbity we all know how Struggle works, and picks up a red ball for himself ]

They're funny little things, these balls. They stick like magnets, really.

;3;

Oooh, I get it now~.

[ She gives the bat a playful swing once, and then gives a pseudo stance. Smile. ]

So we start once all those stick, yeah?

[ Is.. already kind of excited! She's never played Struggle before, so. New experience~. ]

Re: ;3;

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just stick them wherever on your clothing. One hit from a bat will knock a bunch off, so be careful~

[ pulls more balls out of his barrel, tactfully not making a lowbrow balls joke ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm!

[ And she moves closer to the barrels. Starts to cover herself with said magnetic balls~! After a few minutes, it would be done. ]

Ready~.

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ his cloak is now covered in the red magnetic balls ]

Sounds like a match~

Alright then, I won't go easy on you. Three, two, one -

[ he springs into action ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ Gymnastic flip in the air! Lands behind him, and smacks his head. :'D ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ he shakes his head to clear it as a few red balls fly off in all directions. He spins around to counter, and lands a strike on her middle ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ Hit! Small blue balls jumped from the cloak, but immediately she down and did a pseudo sweep, only with the struggle bat instead. ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ he jumps backward, taking a defensive stance. his flattery was not just hot air - he needs to take this match seriously ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ It looks as if she ran right towards him, but she quickly shifted to the side as she moved the bat from right to left, attempting to smack his side next. ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ he takes the blow as balls fly from his cloak, using the opening to dash in, aiming for her shoulder ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ More blue balls fly as her shoulder's hit! But this just means that there was a pause inbetween movements. And so she jumps back, only to swing the bat against his chest hard. ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ he flies backward, losing his footing as a shower of balls fly from his clothing, scattering everywhere. he is stunned for a moment before he rushes to collect the lost trophies.

the counter ticks down, and time is running short. ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ As she ran towards the champion with the goal of smashing him again, the balls that were close by stuck back to her cloak. She was a quick woman, just like her original--and when she was so close, she moved to swing the bat one more time to smash his back.

But not so hard that his backbone would break, of course. ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ he spins around but too late - the strike square hits his side with force enough to leave a nasty bruise and the balls he had managed to collect again fly away into his opponent's clutches.

the timer runs down to zero, signaling his loss. ]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

... !

[ Was he hurt? She didn't mean to hit so hard, even though that was one of the points of this sport. She rushes to him. ]

Aah--that last one was too hard, wasn't it?

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

Ahh, you certainly don't pull your punches, do you?

[ levers himself to his feet, wincing a little ]

Don't worry; I've taken more than a few hard hits in my time. You, on the other hand, did wonderfully~

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, you can say it's results of my training! Even though I wasn't really trained with swords, but.

[ Smiles, then~! And extends her hand to help! ]

Well, thank you very much, Setzer. ♥

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

You're obviously quite athletic~

[ takes the proffered hand ]

You're quite welcome. It was marvelous fun playing with you ♥

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

I practice~.

[ Smile smile~. ]

I'd love to do it again one time~. But feel better first.

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

Eh heh heh, I don't think I'm up for a rematch just yet. ^_^;

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

It's why I said feel~ better~.

[ Cheek kiss, just because~! She always gives cheek kisses to Xigbar when he gets injured, so this is normal for her. ]

[but-a-chip.livejournal.com]

[ score! he thinks ]

I'll be my usual chipper self in a matter of days, worry not~

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Alright~. [ Smile~. ] ♥
