Author's Notes

Which of these two would win in a fight? Either physically or emotionally? Even if one is the more dominant, can the less dominant of the pair outlast them? What strategies would they use against each other based on what they know of each other that others might not know? (Eg, attacking each other's insecurities)

Prompt R 15 - Beatrix and Vesper


   It would be a bit of an odd day where Beatrix and Vesper were to find themselves facing off against each other. Vesper isn't an especially confrontational cat, and while Beatrix has had some experience in battle as a result of the events in the realm of the tree gods, she's not particularly aggressive of her own accord, either. She can fight, but not especially well, and given the opportunity she would prefer not to - The last time she did, she ended up with a dislocated leg. Not the most fun experience.
   Still, if tensions were to grow between them, and were to somehow escalate to that point, the two would be relatively even-matched. Beatrix is younger, and not especially strong physically, but she has decent stamina and is a bit of a trickier target to land a hit on due to her smaller size; Vesper, meanwhile, has less endurance, but is somewhat more directly powerful than his theoretical opponent in this scenario. Realistically, in a one-on-one, it would largely come down to luck - If Vesper could land a few decent hits on her, Beatrix would go down quickly, but if she were able to avoid his blows, he'd probably tire himself out before he could actually take her out.
   So, with that in mind, as far as strategy goes? They would probably end up trying to get the other Wayfarers on their side for this battle. And based on that... well, Beatrix would win pretty handily, considering Kat's even larger size and the fact that Berkeley is a literal god, even if they don't exactly know how to use their powers just yet. Even if none of the others were to join her (And there's a fair chance some of the others would be willing to fight alongside her as well), those two alone provide a massive advantage. If he were lucky, Vesper might be able to get Amara on his side, which would help to level the playing field, considering she actually has experience in using her powers... but, more likely than not, she would just be trying to break up the whole affair before it got so out of hand in the first place.
