Underland: Ash and Onyx Brawl (Duel)

[Saber Sloth]

With three days left of the scene and no further action from Withers , we can safely say he has frozen in his indecision over the wording of the pledge.

Everyone else can react accordingly and unless Withers makes a post within these last 3 days we can also say that he will forfeit the Duel due to the inaction.

[Sonnie Wu]

With Withers seemingly trapped deep in thought, Sonnie... grew bored. The longer the awkward silence went on, the worse her boredom got. She might not have approved of a duel, but at least it would have been interesting!

Letting out a long, exaggerated sigh, the Spring Queen meandered towards the door, "Lemme know if you guys actually settle on a pledge on of these years. There's a taco truck with my name on it somewhere, and I must go find it."

Unless the Darkling speaks up suddenly, Sonnie would very soon depart.

[Circe]

Circe blinks in confusion as she then stands up straight, moving towards Withers with narrowed eyes. The look he had on right now? Her eyes dart to the top of his head. No flower? Then why does he remind her of the cat freaked out by the flower on its head?


"Uuuuh, Withers? Did Kray scare you into blue screening on us?" She waves her left hand about, trying to get his attention. Then Sonja goes off, "Tacos?" Circe looks to Sonja, "Do they have tequila there too?"


Because if they aren't fighting, why would they need a referee. If Withers is too scared to respond, well, that'd be a win for Kray being the master of fear or something like that, yes? Circe could try poking Withers or that could be rude. She starts checking pockets. "Try wake Withers first, lemme see. Blank, blank. Never. Flare? No, maybe rubber? See if it fits that enough to bounce of a tree? A salt the ground? Yes!"


Circe pulls out a shotgun shell with a paint mark on it. Gray. She had a system. And it was the cheapest option after blanks. If Withers doesn't respond soon, she WILL salt the earth so to speak. Unless someone can convince her to just poke him instead.

[Kray]

Had this been the darkling's plan along, to show up agree a duel was needed and then what prove him right? rob him of the better parts of the experience? either way the ogres patience was waning fast. "Bah. It's like I've been saying there is a difference between subtly and inaction, and this, this shows what side of that you fall on beyond doubt or question." Was it a little early to be declaring victory, maybe but it would take an awful lot from the onyx king to bring a different result now and well clearly the ogre didn't think that was going to happen. "Ah. I'm just going to say it, I win. Last chance to speak up if you disagree." Hey at least it didn't look like he was planning to batter the darkling just for the hell of it duel or no.

[Circe]

Circe retrieves her shotgun, unloading the readied shell to swap in the painted one she had. "Let me make some noise!" She cocks it with a smile and looks at everyone present. Then aims it at the ground and fires it away from all. The salt splatters on the ground, scatter about.


Trigger happy, blueberry, gun bunny, Smurfette looks to see if Withers reacts at all.


If not: "Greeeeat, he's broken. Someone want to grab an arm and help me drag the defeated out of the Hedge? Then Tacos and Tequila!"

[Kray]

Reached 0 days left so going to close this one out. Thanks for participating both, apologies it didn't amount to much.

The shotgun blast made his ears ring for bit. The space after all was not that large. "Ah. Dam it." Thumbing at his ears to try and stop the noise to little avail. Not that it had done much of anything to the Winter king it would appear. "Bah. He can stay here for all I care." The ogre isn't happy he might have won but he had be robbed of the best part of a duel. "Ah. For the record I win. My words have the right of Withers, his don't of me." The mattered was settled and resolved.

And with that the ogre will depart looking for something to fill his belly and maybe make him a bit less sulky.
