Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whatever you want. The ability to manage his body to some degree basically means that he can stand for a while before he collapses. At this point he's running on putting most of his remaining will and magic that should be the tiny trick sustaining the silver (why it's expanding to water again) on keeping himself upright. I'm trying to remember he's in no condition to do his usual fine tuned actions, but as far as I'm considered semi-roughened, unremarkable actions in combat are fine. At this point he's not fighting at improved human speed/strength, but at slightly woozy guy's stuff. Probably boost his strength for single stunts, at a lil' price.

The real pain will come later, when he runs out of juice/adrenaline to keep it all in check.

But with all that said, I'm not worried about him. Honestly, never really was. Mindblaze is ******** crazy, but Rivven is a survivor more than anything and everything else. I'm just tired of this fight by now... I usually am good about keeping things up and just plodding on, but it's been nine pages of just them fighting, in not quite my ideal combat. At this point, I really just want to stick his hands into that burning crack and pull Mindblaze in two, and say it's over.

So, maybe Mindblaze would want to run to escape his future going from Guy-with-a-trillion-souls-worth-of-power to just Guy.

I dunno. It'd feel anticlimatic for sure... but I am less worried about that than... well, honestly, pretty much just that Rivven doesn't actually die, incase Morgan pulls through or sneaks a computer to herself somehow again before I can think of a plot twist that has him ressurrected again, and somehow allows him not to disappear back to his old position as slave and forced combatant. That's all that really matters here, besides having fun. Which is sort of... off, to on a little, to just off for me in this fight.

And I'd post in the Infirmary with him after, but... no. I just don't feel like taking him too far. IC, he'd probably head home to rest ASAP too. There's a healer there, and he'd rather see him then sleep on his own bed where he can see his wife and daughter while the magic speeds his recovery from weeks to week, his self from week to about half (assuming he gets a particularly good supply of energy back, which would be likely just as soon as he's fit enough to move about a little again).

Though I'm missing the point. Maybe, but probably not. I just don't feel like touching him except to get that art of him and Morgan done, and to finish his bio and things he's already in, like this tourney, for now. I don't want him sucked into a plot. He's been a big character of mine, but he's more for Black Amber than everywhere, adaptable but committed there. And I'm babbling, but point is, I'm counting on her to kick this thing in the a** when we least expected like before, and I want to be around and ready to do as much as I can, talk, RP, or visit if they'll permit me, when she does.

Dammit, I did an emo rant again. Sorry Jello, hopefully this is the last for tonight. I need to quit working on this guy and go back to HoH and active RP's elsewhere.

While Tacitus is of a more Neutral Good alignment with lawful tendencies, Aetas (his Deity) can work on any one of the axiomatic, anarchic, holy, and unholy aspects just as well as any of the others. Time doesn't care what you are, just as long as you exist and time continues.

Tacitus never came here to win. Tacitus came to fight and recruit. He's not going to enter a fight knowing his opponent isn't at their best and will make sure it doesn't happen. Hell, he'll even ask to postpone the fight IC if need be. He'll fight to his fullest to push his limits and test himself and his opponent, but he doesn't want to kill as its something he's only ever done a very few times, and most of those have a chance at being saved as they are in temporal stasis.

And Fish, thats exactly what you should do. Thats kinda why he doesn't want the crack facing Rivven. XD

Guess the fight just ended then? I'll post later.

The whole flurry of strikes was aimed to make him come closer like he did, or twist his shoulders to catch/throw a punch, at which point Rivven intended to bear-hug under his arms despite flames and rip him open.

If I missed some kind of clarification, please do let me know so I can edit.

*smiles greatly* My guy can dodge your sword strike if it was in full motion, the foot slamming, and possibly the fingertips if executed correctly. You can thank Yoga and martial arts. I'll post when I can later tonight to show you what I mean. Gotta dash for now.

No, he is not actually dead. Again. Entirely.

s**t. My post says black coat. It's white.

*fingers itch for unobtainable final edit*
