I'd like to lay down seven fate points (two for achieving a slot in Round 1, two for winning Round 1 and three for achieving a slot in Round 2) for a slot in Round 3.

My second partner attempted to continue, but life swept her away.

My opponents never responded after my own initial post and, to be completely honest, I wasn't at all motivated to ask them to.

Thank you, Christoph. I was unwilling to simply go ahead with the assumption that the new team was alright.

The world had passed away before Zhang Konji's eyes a moment before the final blow of his previous battle. The majestic flying arches and scintillating stained glass of the ancient castle became so...

I would like to announce the official endings of teams Awesome and Zetsumei. It has been made exceedingly clear to both Qaron and I that our respective partners do not intend to return (at least...

This ought to make a lovely accompaniment to my late-night crusade.

Many thanks, Ye of the Azure Gaze.

Simply put, I rather enjoyed my first round.

If Team Awesome continues on I would dearly like to fight either Silas Gesse or Honuse.

That's all.

In the forest-city of Oromonai Tel, whence came the wanderer Zhang Konji, coming of age meant more than a day-long celebration or the blessing of the makoro¹- it meant passing through ageless gates...

The supple flesh was no distraction to the wanderer, who'd already begun moving again as she made for her stiletto. Qaron was no sloth, though, and he still paid the price.

Releasing her ankle...

... as he slammed the butt of his staff into the mouldering rugs underfoot and caught her ankle coming around for a continued attack, curling his fingers into a vice grip that trembled inches from...

When Qaron crushed stone, the wanderer knew her to be strong. When she, seemingly by will alone, commanded stone to rise and crush him, the wanderer knew her to be powerful. That in combination with...

Qaron.

The name danced in the higher eaves of the wanderer's mind as the impressive acrobatics display came to its climax, retreated into shadow as he detected glimmering pinpoints of steel by...

She was beautiful in the dark, and strikingly so- her eyes pierced the castle’s soul of gloom like twin pearls. He had detected her arrival with senses attuned to the ways of men and beasts, each...

Zhang Konji stood in the shadow of a dead kingdom. Before him, in a decaying display of endurance, stone and mortar walls stood strong against the ravages of time. The ages had nonetheless left their...

It is as my master taught me:

Kill it with fire.

Zhang Konji and his homeland draw largely from Far Eastern reality and fantasy- Shintoism plays a huge role in Oromonai Tel (everything is possessed of life/a guardian spirit/etc, so respect...

Hey, I like characters.

They say a lot about the people who write them. Whether or not a character has depth, a real personality, is entirely dependent on their writers. Without writers (or...

Team Awesome

In the interest of moving things along, we're submitting our thread for judgment now. Cutoff point is POST #12.

Thank you.

Edit: Claimed for Panel A ~ Dirks

Zhang moved with the deflection, sliding his rear foot out in a sweeping arc to bring himself to bear before the boy's descending blade. Bringing his quarterstaff to a steep angle he crossed the...

(The above autoplay is approved by my own self because it sped things along quite nicely. Here’s hoping you return tonight, Ryu.)

Zhang returned the boy’s bow with one of his own, deep...

Props to Huo Yuan Jia for his wise words of temperance, and Pulse for applying them correctly. The point is to work OOCly with your partner AND opponents to make for an extraordinary bit of writing....

Japan.

For a fleeting instant his normal façade of peaceful temperance was broken and genuine surprise was written across his face; cherry blossoms lilted over his thoughts and his nostrils were...

(( Good to see you're still around, Ryu.))

Zhang could not help but take stock of the boy's form and profile- pleasant, genial and full of youth. He hardly seemed the type who needed a suit...

Thank you, miss Ataraxis. I'm going to give him two more days, since I'm already feeling guilty about asking the question at all- but I'm far too interested in seeing the ToC through to miss out on...

Now, I may be getting a little jumpy here, but I thought I'd ask for safety's sake (Ryu hasn't been on in three days and it's drawing pretty close to round one): are we allowed to sever ourselves...
