Feeling himself again, Shiloh sauntered into the abandoned arena with a grin, the chain of his weapon coiled through his fingers, her metallic jaws swinging by his side. Shiloh had been surprised to find out that his opponent was someone he knew, and a friend no less. Not that it mattered, while he wished Ian all the best, and was rooting for him as much as he rooted for himself, there was no contest of feelings for the Life hunter, no worrying over whether he’d go too hard or too easy on his opponent considering the conditions. In Shiloh’s mind, the fact that they were friends made things all the better, battle could be more honest than between strangers, each of them giving their best performance out of respect for one another. At least, that is how Shiloh saw it, in his ever-sunny optimism. It was likely that not everyone would feel the same way. Haruka didn’t care either way, the Inugami excited only for the fight itself and not the circumstance, her consciousness pacing impatiently at the corners of his mind while they waited for their opponent to appear. [ Are you ready, Shiloh? We have to win! ]kurotomato Figured introduction posts were good! xD Will roll first attack next post C:

When he'd first glanced idly at the list of partnerships for the "official Deus Ex Machina tournament," Ian had had to look twice, since the first time he'd thought he'd probably misread what was on the board.
Ian Rahal-Nazari vs. Shiloh Parish.
He was utterly amused by it - and simultaneously a little concerned, but that was less because he didn't want to hurt Shiloh and more that he was relatively convinced he was going to wind up hurting he, himself, because it had already been established that Ian was not the greatest fighter.
("Not the greatest" being a euphemism for "the worst.")
{ You're not a child. Go and win. }
I'm not sure that's possible.
Still, Ian made his way to the allotted spot, lifting a hand in greeting to Shiloh, a smile on his face.
"Well, this oughta be fun."

Ian made his way onto the field, and Shiloh grinned, waving back excitedly. Haruka’s enthusiasm was catching, and although he didn’t particularly share her thirst for blood and vengeance, he was excited to have the chance to prove himself worthy of coming to Deus. A sound went off, signaling the start of their battle. Shiloh was lucky enough to get first strike, and he stepped forward, and having since learned just how protective fear shields were, he swung Haruka in Ian’s direction with confidence. “Pfft,” he called to Ian, “Of course it’ll be fun. Lighten up, Chicken, I hope you’re ready to play.” Er, fight, fight was what he’d meant. [ PLAY! ]Haruka yipped continously in his head, her jaws itching to close onto something. HP: 40/40 DMG: 6 kurotomato quoting you helps.... xDDD wtg self

"Who are you calling chi - ow."
Shiloh's first swing apparently wasn't just "playing," as he'd said, since Haruka hit him with the force of...well, a weapon. Ian staggered backwards several steps, coughing, and then straightened, swiping a hand through his hair as he lifted his dagger defensively.
"Yes, of course," he said with a smirk. "Playing is my specialty, didn't you know?"
Ian sprinted forward, swinging his arm, the jambiya aimed for Shiloh's arm.

Shiloh laughter was tempered by a moment of concern, but Ian was straightening up, lifting his weapon and the moment passed, the other trainee clearly okay. He went into defensive mode himself, grinning until Ian shot back with a smart-a** retort, one that had Shiloh thinking of things that distractingly had nothing to do with battle. Ian, meanwhile, was moving forward, thrusting the dagger towards him. Instinctively Shiloh blocked, but not well enough, and the weapon clashed against his arm, knocking him back a step with a grunt. Shiloh tried to surge forward against it, and against Ian, but Haruka wasn't designed for close combat, and her strength at such a range was considerably lessened. He attempted to step back after attacking, in hopes of putting some distance between them. "Not bad, for a chicken," he grinned. HP: 36/40 DMG: 3

While Shiloh was clearly meant for more long-range combat, the shortness of Ian's dagger meant that he was more suited for close-range combat. Which, for all intents and purposes, just meant that he was even worse up close than he was far away.
One of Ian's hands shot out, fingers curling around Haruka's chain, and he yanked hard to keep Shiloh from getting too far away. When he was close enough, his fingers curled in the neckline of Shiloh's shirt to keep him steady, his other hand gripping the dagger,
"Not bad for a duck," Ian said with a smirk, and took several quick paced steps forward, slamming Shiloh against the side of a nearby, dilapidated house, the knife at his throat.
"Duck soup, anyone?"

[ LET GO! ]Haruka snarled in Shiloh’s head, but Ian’s grip was tight, and finding himself in a sudden tug of war, Shiloh tripped forward, held up only by the fingers curled into the neck of his shirt. Ian meant business. He moved Shiloh with a surprising ease, thrusting him hard against the rundown brick and rubble. It knocked the air out of Shiloh, but he had no time to catch his breath, the blade of Ian’s dagger held dangerously close to his throat. “You’re so funny,” Shiloh shot back breathlessly, mirroring Ian’s smirk as best he could as swung Haruka’s chain up as a brace, looped around his knuckles as he knocked Ian’s hand away, heaving his own weight forward to shove Ian back. HP: 29/40 DMG: 5

[ Spectator ]
Ripley wandered to want some of the other matches, though he was still covered in mud from his own fight. He had seen a few matches so far and got a chance to return Finn's heckling, so when it had been time to move on he was surprised to find this particular match: Ian versus Shiloh.
"Glad to see you're not dead, Shiloh!" Ripley called helpfully from the boundary of the 'arena'. He hasn't gotten a chance to tell him that since the whole being eaten incident, but he figured it was better late (and in the middle of a battle) than never.
Now he just looked awkward; who did you root for if you knew and generally liked both players?

Ian pushed forward, leaning almost the entirety of his weight against Shiloh to keep him pinned, the dagger held carefully in his fingers. "At least I'm not funny looking," he said with a smirk, and then added, louder so that certain spectacting people could hear, "NOT LIKE SOME PEOPLE, AT LEAS - ow."
Shoved backwards, Ian tripped over a loose piece of rubble and nearly lost his balance. He caught himself at the last second by throwing himself forward, sliding one foot back, and he looked up at Shiloh, amusement heavy in his eyes.
"You're better than you say you are," he said, and swung his leg out, attempting to sweep Shiloh's legs out from beneath him.

“I don’t know what you’re getting at,” Shiloh challenged as he held his ground against Ian, “I’m friggin’ adorable, remember?” Ripley’s voice distracted his attention for a moment, but luckily it had stolen Ian’s attention as well, the both of them yelling out to their singular audience. “Thanks!” Shiloh yelled towards Ripley, “Same to you!” He took Ian’s momentary stumble as an opportunity to slide backward, past the leg that threatened to trip him up, putting a few steps between them where neither his legs nor dagger could reach. With a little more space, he gathered up Haruka again, swinging her overhead before sending her jaws snapping Ian’s way. “So are you,” he countered. HP: 25 DMG: 7

((Spectatoooorrr)) Somebody had mentioned to Finn that there was a tentacle watch convention going on nearby....? Seriously though, the man was finished with his own battle and had wanted to have a look around at some of the other competitors to see how they were doing. He'd lost, which while disappointing, only meant that now he got to have some fun sitting on the sidelines and cheering others on. First stop, Ian and Shiloh! Okay, well no, it wasn't the first stop as he wandered past a couple of other spars along the way but it was totally his intention to come here first okay guys.Wandering up to the roped off sidelines, he spotted the still muddy figure of Ripley who had somehow beaten him there. "Hey!" He called out, sounding for all intents and purposes rather cheerful, "You still embarassed about that little girl beating you up today? I would be." He sidled on over, giving the other man a friendly elbow nudge before turning to the fight at hand. "AW YA! KICK EACH OTHERS ASSES!"He clearly didn't have a favorite, either.

Reminding him that he'd said that was totally unfair. Taken aback, Ian stumbled and missed his kick, Shiloh ducking away like a cat, and Ian collided with the wall of the house, twisting around just in time to see Haruka careening towards him. He lifted an arm to fend her off, but the jaws of the weapon clamped around his wrist, teeth snapping, and Ian was jerked off his feet, tumbling to the ground.
"Holy s**t, Ducky," he wheezed, rolling around to try and get back up. His hands fumbled in the dust and debris until they found his knife again. And then he lunged forward, throwing his arms around Shiloh's knees and tackling him to the ground, where he promptly sat on top of his legs, his dagger poking into Shiloh's side. Ian could hear the hollering of another spectator now, one he wasn't familiar with, but he leaned over Shiloh, smirking.
"And yes, you are adorable, and no I'm not."

SPECTATOR
It was probably no surprise to a few individuals that she'd wound up over at this fight. And no, she was not following you Finn. Or you either, Ripley. Fini wanted to see how this battle was going. Since the victor would be her opponent. One of the two men she had met before. The other, she'd seen once or twice and that was it.
She did arrive just in time to hear Finn's shout, shaking her head.
"Should you really be so loud and walking around?" Fini asked dryly as she reached the other two watching the fight. "Looks like.... Ian's," ha ha, she totally remembered his name!, "not doing too bad."
She glanced towards the other. "So that must be Shiloh. He's kind of cute."

Nevada was most defenitly on the otherside of the fight, away from Finn and Fini and Ripley for Reasons~ (Finn).
But none the less, she was very much cheering for Ian.
Because Ian.
"I THINK YOU ARE ADORABLE IAN TOO." Nevada added in, not quite shouting but just enough for Ian to hear. "USE THOSE GREEN EYES TO CHARM HIM IAN."
Sorry Shiloh, SHE JUST REALLY LIKED HER IAN FRIEND.
