[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
LiliS's powers do not make for an honorable fight.
—But if you accept their use, then I will not hold back.
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
[ but she's not going to charm amaranth.
charm is reserved for assholes. ]
But I accept their use. [ she bows her head as a show of acceptance to their teams and then pulls out her heart weapon. ]
I'm ready when you are.
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
[ as D.va bows, a second button forms, located on the podium just in front of the first—
—and when she rises, Amaranth's skin is covered cherry bark, ridged and silvery.
She removes her sweater and sets it aside, then bows in turn and readies her weapon. ]
I am ready.
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
[ she henshins and dashes for amaranth, her hand dropping to the other weapon she has holstered on her thigh, another "heart weapon". ]
[ d.va draws it, and instead of slashing her with the real deal she aims, fires, and tries to hit her, so she can reel her in. she should be able to pierce bark, right? right?? ]
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
Her body is angled, blow arcing around where the heart weapon's blade would strike—but the chain-shot catches her by surprise, hitting hard against her side— ]
Nng—!
[ —before it glances off the bark, and Amaranth's staff slams against D.va's armored legs.
She doesn't need to pierce that armor, after all. Just incapacitate. And with her sweater off, revealing well-muscled arms, it's perhaps not such a surprise just how hard she can hit. ]
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
[ a damn shame that it doesn't,
since d.va trips up as soon as the staff slams into her armored legs. ]
[ she de-henshins, hitting the trigger on the hookshot to call back the bladed cable as she tries to stumble into something akin to a dodgeroll, which she wouldn't have been able to do were she still armored. it's... definitely not as graceful as it could have been, and it certainly leaves her open for another attack, though she'll do her best to parry... awkwardly, if nothing else. ]
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
As D.va rolls, Amaranth cuts off her sight—
—And Amaranth herself moves to her flank, staff jabbing down with sudden sharp force at her ribs. ]
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
oh. ]
[ this isn't something she's experienced in some time...
but it's also not something that she's altogether unfamiliar with. ]
[ she spent a fair amount of time in the dark, because she anticipating her handicap being taken advantage of... though this is a little bit different. d.va isn't sure amaranth is aware her eyes are robotic, but regardless she's been blinded. ]
[ having been keeping tabs on her location she shifts, bringing both her replica gun and her heart weapon to block with a surprising swiftness. ]
I don't think so. [ the blow still hurts, because of the sheer force behind it, but d.va manages to successfully protect her ribs... for now. ]
I'm slightly down, but not completely out. [ she just needs to be hyper-vigilante and careful. ]
Re: Amaranth vs D.VA
—and then the staff comes fwipping down at her upper back between her shoulder blades, knocking her sharply forward.
in a different sort of fight, it might have been her skull. ]
Get up, then—if you can.
[ D.va's vision clears to reveal that she's surrounded from every side and above by sharp-thorned brambles made of red jade—dense branches bare except for spines a handspan long.
(Or is she.) ]
