OOM

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith and Fray are outside at the lake, chatting and stretching, about to start sparring. Fray is carrying a raygun and the same three-bladed knife that once got lodged in her leg. Faith...well, it's hard to be sure, really, just how much weaponry Faith has on her. A single knife is all that's visible, but...it is Faith, after all.

Oh - also, they both have big honkin' swords. Mmm, shiny.

(OOC: Main thread is locked to just Faith and Fray, please. Feel free to have anybody who wants to show up and watch, but do it in a seperate thread, plzkthnx. Also, slowtimed, so don't let a little thing like twelve hours going by between now and whenever you can get online stop you from reacting.)

Mel had landed in a roll herself, and makes a dive for her own sword with the time given her, leaping to her feet with it in her hands to face Faith.

"Where's the fun in askin'?"

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"There is that," Faith admits with a short snicker, swinging her sword in an idle circle, ready to let Fray take the offensive.

[slayer_fray]

So she does, leaping forwards with a straightforward slash at Faith's midsection.

At the last second she changes tack and brings her other hand round, now holding her knife to go for Faith's legs.

Faith can't dodge both weapons at once, not when they're wielded by a Slayer.

So instead of trying, she pulls her own knife, batting Fray's sword aside with her own and aiming her knife at the other Slayer's shoulder.

Mel twists to avoid the knife, which nevertheless slices through her shirt, although the action stops her own attack from doing any damage. She curls around in the same action and brings her sword back around again.

Faith takes a step back, but doesn't bring her sword up quite fast enough - the sleeve of her shirt is sliced off, and blood wells up in a thin line on her shoulder.

"Ow." She blinks, then grins. "Nice one."

[slayer_fray]

Mel grins, but doesn't stop moving, bringing up a boot again to kick the sword out of Faith's hand.

"Thanks."

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Instead of trying to dodge, Faith swings as hard she can into Fray's oncoming foot, her hand hitting the other Slayer's ankle. She still loses the sword, but catching it in the other hand isn't too hard.

[slayer_fray]

She's going to need that sword now, because as Mel's foot is knocked in one direction, her knife hand swings up in the other she she twists again, back to Faith.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith has sword and knife in the same hand now, making it hard to hold both, so when Fray swings the sword at her, she loses both instead, dropping into a sideways roll and kicking out at Fray's knees as she hits the ground.

[slayer_fray]

Knees are good. Mel's legs buckle underneath her and she falls, just managing to turn it into a roll and find her feet again, a little way from Faith.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

It was enough time, barely, for Faith to get both weapons back, and to throw the knife at Mel.

[slayer_fray]

Mel ducks under the knife, partly as a dodge, and partly because she's rhowing herself forward again at Faith.

She has no technique, not special Slayer instinct, just the honed senses of a thief and a street fighter.
