Welcome to Gaia! ::

No one had taken her challenge, but instead a small fight had broke out. Grinning at the lot, she came charging right for Malcolm.

"Leave them be. Your opponent is me, Mini-man!" she said as she came to punch him in the face. It was punchy face time for everyone!

Bella was waiting for some kind of retaliation from the rotten shrimp, but instead, she got a punch to the face from that butthead, Malcolm. Uugh, what a buzzkill that kid was. She turned to him, her head bobbing around sassily, and shook her finger at him. "Oh no you didn't, boil, now it's you and me. If you wanted me so bad, you could have just asked nicely."

Was she flirting with him, or threatening him? With Bella, there was seriously no way to ever know for sure.

"Okay, little boil, give me your best shot. Try not to get your fear on me, this is a new outfit."

Jezebel just took the hit, because she had asked for it, but she hadn't expected it to be so hard. Malcolm hit like a truck, and it knocked her down onto her back. She laid there for a moment, trying to decide how she felt about it..

Hell, that boil was probably a demon in bed..

But he just knocked her off her feet, and now, as she rose her hand up to her face, she could feel it swelling...

OH HELL NAH.

Jezebel jumped back up to her feet, and prepared to make her instructor proud. She stood there for a few seconds, summoning every bit of fear she could manage, until she looked as though she was smoking, just a little bit. Then she let out a terrifying screech, and came barrelling at Malcolm, head first.

If he was going to knock her on her back, she was going to return the favor.

He had expected Bella to fight back, and he actually waited there to take it like a man... And he had to admit that when she charged at him like that, he suddenly realized that maybe going without his weapon wasn't a good idea. Putting his hands out, he hastily summoned his staff, holding it out parallel to the ground, just in time to feel himself behind thrown backwards by the force from her charge, painfully landing on the ground on his back... And then, without any time to recover, he was aware of something sharp, and pointy heading towards him.

"OI, JACK DAMNIT WHAT-" He hardly had time to think, might might be why he simply rolled out of the way, poker facing as he climbed up from the ground, "VEL, WHAT THE JACK ARE YOU DOING?! Can't you see that I'm busy with Squinty?"

He twitched, planting his staff firmly on the ground, the eye sockets of the sable tooth skull on the top glowing blue, and then- There was a loud roar, followed by a blue flash of something from his staff; it soon took shape as a saber tooth tiger, charging straight for Bella, leaping straight for the ghoul once it was close enough; once that was done, the apparition vanished, and the blue glow returned to the skull.

It wasn't hard to tell what Malcolm's spirit totem animal was.

Bella stood up, proud to see Malcolm on his back. In a snap, the sight put her in a better mood.

"Mmm, screechheart, that's a good look for you. You should just stay down, and we can have a different kind of wrestling match." And it looked like Vek wanted to join in, too. This was a fiesty class, she noted with an approving nod. Just the way she liked it.

Malcolm was on his feet way too soon, and Bella looked a touch sad about it. Her pout was short lived, as the phantom tiger came charging for her. She had all of a second to actually open her eyes enough to stare at it, breathe a quick 'uh oh', and then it was over.

Bella was on the ground, and she saw stars.

She lifted one leg and weakly kicked Malcolm in the shin, but otherwise, she wasn't moving for a minute.

"Hell, you hit hard. I'd be turned on if I wasn't in so much pain."

HP: 17
Damage: 3

"Turned on?" His brow furrowed at Bella, "Were you turned off before?" Wasn't turning off like sleeping though? Was she sleeping just now? He couldn't remember if she was- He took a few backwards at the kick to his shin, retailating by whacking the offending leg with his staff. With a wince, he leaned on his staff for support; oh right, they were sparring.

He turned to look at Vel, almost going to protest that he did not ignore her, when he realized that after he had punched Bella, someone had punched him... Oh whoops. However, he shouldn't apologize... That would put a dent on his (already pretty nonexistent) reputation.

The fact that Vel thought that he had ignored her on purpose... Would be good for his reputation right?

"Maybe you could busy yourself with Quin over there," He gestured at the vampire ghoul, "She did just ask." There was no way he was going to fight two ghouls, one after the other, especially since the risk of losing the second fight was higher.

Meanwhile, he prodded May with the end of his staff, although his attention was still on Bella; on the floor or not, the ghoul packed quite a punch, "Oi, get up, loser. People are trying to fight here." And he really did not want to see her trampled.

HP: 29/50
Damage: 2

Vel continued to watch the scuffle, growing more impatient by the second. This was taking too long. Briefly, she shot a look of disinterest at May.

"May. Darling. This is gym. You can't seriously expect us to be prancing around collecting death lilies now do you?" she said before shaking her head. The raptor soon turned towards the vampire that had just come on by, smirking a bit.

"Since Malcom over there is taking ages, I'll take you up on that. Though you know. At least you would know better than to just ignore and opponent," she said as she got herself ready.

"Let's get wild."
