Fight or Flight?

Posted 6 years, 3 months ago (Edited 4 years, 3 months ago) by Orca

The OC above, for one reason or another, picks a fight with yours. Does your character have what it takes to fight back, or must they flee to avoid injury, if not death? Post IC with your participating character.


Rules:

  • Please put effort into your responses. There's technically no sentence minimum, but please no two-word responses.
  • Your response should not be NSFW, offensive, or hurtful to real people. Let's confine the emotional pain to our characters.
  • Wait until three other people have posted before you post again, unless it's  been 24 hours. In that case, only one other person must have posted.

Let's start this off with...not Bozard, but Dr. Fire! What will your character do with this giant beast?

Ferggie MotherRat

Ferggie swings a large bat, studded with nails. She grins, almost maniac in her expression, giggling a little bit "I always choose fight, it's so fun and I get to win" 

 Verity Nineraeix

“Lovely. Might we at least psychologically spar instead? I much prefer psychoanalyzing the words of an arsonist and murderer rather than wasting both of our time.” 

Verity seems unimpressed by the nail-studded bat, his smile quickly becoming strained with exhaustion. At the first sign of a threat eyes unearth from the flesh of his face and he winces, more in disgust than pain. His eyes flicker around the surrounding area as he sizes up his opponent. Choosing to engage and potentially kill a criminal might muddy Verity’s investigations for the next few days, however… 

Deciding as he paces circles around Freggie, he assumes a defensive stance, waiting for Freggie’s first move. Yet, as soon as his opponent swings, there no longer seems to be a tangible target, Verity’s figure melding into a shadowy mass that instantly dissipates.

(Pretends to fight only to flight at the last second)

Ellis zeta-male

HELLOO fucked up dishonest masc woman with a majorly cool concept I'm sweating

There's a lot of reasons Ellis thought about fighting Verity. The instrinsically punchable smile was the first, something about her presence pressing on old nerves, but that's not nice, so she didn't. The longer Ellis listened, though - staring at Verity from across the bar like a weirdo - the more her mind turned it over. She was well-acquainted, by now, with the idea that pretty words don't make good words, and she's sure the verbal garden Verity's planting's full of thorns.

And still, somehow, maybe every half an hour, there's a glimpse of something, something she'd say or do, that made Ellis wish they were alone in the bar so she could listen to Verity's thoughts just the two of them - get a clearer view.

... Ellis stands up to leave the bar before she switches back to wanting to fight. Or worse, tries to talk to her or something.

Flight <:) never once crosses ellis's mind whether she could even win a fight lmfao, all in on verity

Moonfall SeawayTheOtter

Probably fight, Ellis is very skilled in swordfighting, but Moonfall is very agile and has powerful magic.

Dazzle [SONA] DazzlingDragon

"Nnnnope-"

Flight. The minute this shocky-shocky blue dog-thing charges her, she bolts. Only much, much later would Dazzle think to herself, "hold on. I totally could have taken that guy" and regret her life choices. When it comes to violence, well, she's not really a violent character to begin with -but anyways -she's more a forest-dwelling ambush-predator, or "I'll drive you mad with my eldritch powers" kinda gal, or maybe a "I have EXPLOSIVES and I'm not afraid to use them" sorta total bluffer. She really only likes to fight ("fight") with friends or strike in circumstances where she knows she has the high ground. A level playing field with someone or something she doesn't know is too risky for her liking.

 Dandelion (D&D) fizzelston

"W..With a m-mouth like that? I rather stay away!"
Flee. He's not a big fan of the imaginary OR eldritch horror. Actually, he's super scared of her 👍

Obarion Inked_Wing

Fight. More like ... One bite and he got them

Darren Reid _riven

Darren might pick fights a lot... but he knows there's no way he could fight a dragon.

StringBean (Gary) BOZOGUIST

FLIGHT. Bro is like a noodle, nuh uh   He'd snap in half

 Solomon (D&D) fizzelston

Fight! There can only be one Katy Parry stan. 

[PMS] Dr. Sunshine AnnaDreamurr

Flight. Though a battle of the flamboyant divorced old men would be fun, the Dr would be slightly intimidated and would rather invite him for tea and compliment his outfit. (ALSO FUN FACT, DR'S REAL NAME IS ALSO SOLOMON.)

Malaya Pogchamp

Like, I know Malaya has magical abilities but I feel like literally anyone could just punch them in the face and end it all, so Malaya would probably flee to avoid literally ANY chance of injury if they're caught somehow

Also, never underestimate old men, Malaya is a smart cookie and has seen those videos of old guys kicking ass

Ethan Wilhelm PicklePantry

Flight! Ethan already has enough bad luck with the weather as is.
