"I don't do what I do because I want recognition-"*Stretches*
I, being Licia, did not just throw a hissy fit and ditch.
My CHARACTER, being Arian, rather temperamental and such-got pissed. And she did, indeed, walk.
Arian couldn't really fight Damon, with his psoinic long distance attack thing-and she is temperamental. When she thought an actual fight could commence at his sword arm thingie came into play-something she could actually play with-her hopes were dashed tragically as another long distance wavy thing or extension moved for her eyes.
She threw a b***h fit, and I let her, because I was keeping to character. Arian wouldn't stand around and get chopped to pieces, blinded, and God knew what else-when she wasn't able to land a single blow or even put up a fight, since she has no abilities to fight his with, and he had no seeming weapons (or rather, preferred to use his long distance stuff, as was his strength). The same attack, used repeatedly-was being thrown at her, and it robbed her of her feeling of sport.
The same reason she dislikes guns-it's not the same feeling, fighting a long distance only fight.
She realized that he didn't have to charge, that his abilities were available to him at any time, without current visible fatigue-and yes. She got pissy. And left.
God knows Arian can take a hit, and that I rather like the gory stuff-but she walked, as keeping with her character. It's not about winning to Arian-it's about the fight itself.
And she didn't get one, and I don't believe she would have even if she stayed.
She was frustrated, and given her history and personality-it would have been AGAINST character to have her stay when she wasn't even really getting to fight or even BE fought. Just the long distance psoinic attacks.
Thought I'd throw my piece in there. If it means I instantly lose, then alright, Damon.
I played my character true to her character. I take no issue with that-and honestly don't care much about anyone else taking issue with that.
*Stretches* We all know, or at least-most of us-I have no problem losing. My fight with Omi in DT rather proves that, no? I'm in it for the GORE and the story and the fun.
And maybe some cookies.
