 Rasali is always ready to help a fellow Initiative member out. Especially if it involves beating each other senseless.

Rasali crossed the boarder into the Salamire Outpost. She was immediately grateful for the wooden boards of an actual pathway beneath her feet. She was just as grateful for being in the vicinity of her recuperacoon. The train ride between Four Fronds and Busthind was long enough, but the hike to the outpost from the train station? Absolutely brutal. At least she got to wear her own clothes out in the swamp. Rasali shifted the bag of Peikoe's clothes on her shoulder. Trying to get through the mud in that dress and heels probably would have killed her. As much as it pained her to leave Aandes for another long stretch of being an outlaw, there was a silver lining that came with being back in her element. Feeling her second wind, Rasali continued towards the "town square."

Voscil still wasn't exactly sure if she liked her new hive as much as the one back in New Hemisect, but she'd at least gotten over her initial stubborn reaction and put a hand towards helping repair things. It wasn't glamorous, but nothing was when you were on the run from the law. The festival in the swamp had really opened Vos's eyes, and made her realize what it was she'd gotten herself into. In part, Voscil also knew now more than ever she had to learn how to not only fight better, but get a better hold of her powers. Vos had spent her entire childhood showing off, and used very little restraint with her psionics. That had almost gotten her rear in huge trouble during this year’s Bloodfest. Luckily the highblood who recognized her was mostly harmless..if not annoyingly desperate for someone to hang out with. Arniva, a juggalo blueblood kid had dragged her around to various booths. It had been harmless enough...The real problem was Vos needed a way to hone her powers. That had been embarrassing, and if anything humiliating. The best way of course was by seeking out someone to train with..even if it was more about not using them in combat. The question was who? Before she could make up her mind, or poke around for a familiar face Voscil was off wandering through Salamire Outpost almost absent minded-like. As if the answer to her thinkpans musing came, she paused as she crossed her arms tilting her head as she saw a troll she recognized. It had been a little since last she saw her directly, but there was no mistaking Rasali. "Oh! Heya! Welcome back. I was actually just looking for someone to spar with today...you down when you get your stuff settled?" Voscil asked her, rubbing her neck with a sheepish grin. She cut directly to the chase like the impatient troll she was. Still her tone was curious if not hopeful, added with a grin on the yellowbloods face. Stepping in line to walk beside her, she yanked her goggles up off her eyes.

"Hm? Oh, hey," Rasali replied upon noticing that not only was Voscil approaching, but also addressing her directly. It was hardly unpleasant, if not a bit of a surprise. She knew the yellowblood well enough, but had never really conversed with her outside of the usual pleasantries. Now here she was asking to fight her?
"Um, sure, I guess," Rasali raised her eyebrows, "Not that I mind, but what's brought this on?"
Rasali continued walking at a steady pace beside Voscil as they made their way across the maze of platforms towards Rasali's reclaimed hive. Tired as Rasali was, she couldn't help but be intrigued by Voscil's sudden offer.

Voscil faltered for just a moment, realizing she hadn't prepared some great speech for why she was asking for help. Sure it was a little forward of her to be asking someone she usually only made small talk with. But she had her reasons. "Well..." Her voice trailed off. She hadn't told anyone about what happened at Bloodfest. "I've seen you fight on the field before! You're really strong from the looks of it.." She started to try and justify herself as he shoulders deflated a bit dramatically. Instead of avoiding what had really lead her to wanting to spar, the yellowblood went silent as she looked down at her sneakers. "My powers make it hard to keep up my disguise if sometroll recognizes it if I'm just using them at random..and someone did. I wanna try and figure out how to fight without just relying on them." She muttered dryly, sounding sour as she slowed to a halt. "It wasn't to bad..but what if it is next time?" She finally looked up, the other was still a bit taller than her but the difference was not as drastic as when she'd first joined the Initiative. Giving a little hop over one of the platform wooden plants to the next, Vos wasn't exactly going to just waltz into the others hive and motioned as if she'd wait.

Rasali listened to Voscil attentively. She didn't interrupt at any point, but her mouth did pucker into a tiny frown as Voscil admitted her problem.
They arrived at Rasali's hive, signaling the end of the exposition. Rasali approached the door and turned back to Voscil as she fiddled with her keys.
"Yeah, I get what you're saying," Rasali nodded calmly before offering a small, embarrassed smile, "The disguise thing is a real pain in the a**, isn't it? Like I gotta tone down my own mannerisms, but you're, like, on a whole 'nother level."
With the door unlocked, Rasali tossed her bag on the threshold and dug around in it. When she stood up, her trusty chain unraveled itself from the depths. Once her weapon was freed, Rasali shoved the bag the rest of the way into the hive and shut the door with a click.
"I wouldn't be a very good teammate if I said no to a request like that!" Rasali grinned broadly and twirled the weighted end of her chain in one hand, while coiling the other around her fist.

Voscil actually seemed surprised as the other just stopped and let her yap away. Even better was the fact the greenblood didn't even snicker, or pick on her for more than she was willing to share. For what it was worth she actually cracked a smile as the other fussed with her keys and replied back finally a bit. Voscil blinked at her curiously, placing a hand on her hip.
"A little yeah. Coming up with it was pretty weird honestly. I got a few suggestions from Reemus, help wise at least." She admitted with a tiny sigh over the subject of disguises. "I got my redblood look down at least! Mostly." She replied with a sheepish look, before shrugging.
Watching the other, Vos's head tilted before her eyes widened with surprise at the others choice in weapon. She remembered seeing her use it, but it was another to watch it twirl up close. Grinning the yellowblood's own tonfa's were in a harness at her side, within easy reach. "Jez, that things impressive." She raised a brow at the other with a curious look.
Taking a small step back, she glanced around the area around the other trolls reclaimed hive before looking to her. "By the way? Thanks, really Rasali. I'll have to return the favor somehow." She replied, the psionic darted several feet away from her in a quick rush of yellow, before drawing her weapons, presumably to get ready for what was to come. "Oh..right." No powers, her psionics faded as if a lightswitch had been clicked.

HP: 20/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG "Hehee, yeah, my kismesis did pretty much the whole thing for me--backstory, wardrobe and everything. I'm pretty sure he didn't trust me to do it right myself. Regardless it sure doesn't look anything like Rasali Panaka."Rasali grinned pleasantly as she chatted over the jingle of her weapon. She developed a sly look at the mention of her weapon. "It's really just a chain with a bunch of padlocks on one end. They call it a smiley chain 'cos of the crescent marks the locks leave on... well basically everything."Rasali couldn't help but be impressed with Voscil's brief display of powers. She'd never experienced such flashy powers up close before. Kursha's was way subtler, and Ganyma's was... kind of creepy, if she was being honest. What Voscil had was more like what she'd see in a comic book hero. It was cool! "Let's see if you're still feeling grateful after this!" Rasali ran forward to close the gap. It probably looked silly to someone as fast as Voscil, but Rasali was confident she wouldn't dodge too far out of reach. They both had close-range weapons after all. Also, Rasali was aiming at her legs. Rasali does 3 damage!

HP: 17/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Power: Novice Agility - Style B 1/1Voscil looked at the other curiously as he mentioned her kismesis. Maybe the weird pale and red crushes she was half certain she felt, but not that particular quadrant. She'd never had a black crush of any real kind come to think of it, but didn't interrupt the other girl as she spoke. The little bit of gossip was amusing to hear. "Works pretty damn well I'll say then!" She agreed with a grin on her face. "What! Heh. A smiley..chain..?" Voscil laughed nervously, imagination running wild. Although it didn't dampen her enthusiasm. However, she could just picture the size of the welts those things were likely going to leave. Gripping the handle of her weapons, her hands tensed with her arm motion. "Yeah! Let's see how it goes!" She replied cheerfully, with an eager smile on her face to match. She tensed, making a small sweeping circular motion as the greenblood came running forward to close the gap. The chain snapped forward just as Voscil was about to run (which felt very much like walking to her). One fo the locks connected with her thigh, causing her grunt in obvious discomfort. Swinging her arm in a quick strike, she sought to tap the others arm. Her blow was quickly followed up by her other arm. They both fought at close range, and she would take the opportunity while it was presented to her. Vos was playing for real, and if the other wouldn't hold anything back...neither would she. Vos does 6 DMG (calm down jez kid)

HP: 14/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Rasali knew she was putting herself within Voscil's striking range. The mental preparation did little to soften the blows as Rasali was struck with what felt more like a Gatling gun than fist weapons. It felt like sweeps, but was more realistically seconds. Rasali was able to regather her wits. She didn't have enough room for a full swing, but she did have enough of her chain available to tangle around one of Voscil's arms. Rasali yanked down and away. That was enough of THAT, young lady! Rasali does 2 damage!

HP: 15/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Power: Novice Agility - Style B 1/1Voscil had started out strong, but as it would seem one quick burst of strength wasn't enough to stop this troll. She was not prepared to face someone wielding such an intimidating weapon such as hers. Screaming in surprise she actually dropped one of her two tonfa's when the other's chain locked around her arm. Her flailing was fairly in vain, and her thrashing seemed to do nothing to break the hold. Voscil misses!

HP: 14/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG After that barrage of hits she'd taken less than a moment earlier, Rasali couldn't help but feel a spark of satisfaction at Voscil's yelp. As long as her opponent was tangled in her weapon, she'd make the most of the situation. Rasali jerked her chain back upwards, using what little height she had on Voscil to her advantage. The disorienting maneuver was coupled with a swift swipe at the ankles. If Voscil wanted to learn how to fight without using her powers, why not forego the legs entirely? Rasali does 2 damage!

HP: 13/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Power: Novice Agility - Style B 1/1While the chain was a serious problem, the will to keep going was not. A pained look crossed her features as she twisted, dropping to the ground when her ankles were swept out from under her. The two inch difference between them was just enough to flatten her onto her back. Growling in frustration Voscil snatched at her fallen tonfa as she went down. "Don't think you've won yet!" She replied quickly to her with a smirk of her own suddenly appearing. Lying on her back, Voscil curled her legs to her chest before pushing forward. Kicking at her with all her might, much like a kangaroo; Voscil aimed to topple the other over as she jerked her arm from the chain despite the discomfort it imparted. She hopped up, standing at the ready with a determined look in her eyes. Voscil does 7 DMG!

HP: 7/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Normally laying out your opponent was a sign you were about to win. Unfortunately Rasali failed to consider the fact that Voscil had legs like a highblood art piece. She didn't even register that she'd been hit. One second she was standing over Voscil and the next she was on her back, gasping like a fish out of water. Oh god, did that kick collapse both her lungs!? Rasali rolled over onto her hands and knees as she tried to heave air back into her chest cavity. She glared up at Voscil between her bangs and wiped a line of drool from beneath her mouth. "Good move, kid," Is what she would have said if she were capable of talking. Voscil would just have to extrapolate her sentiment from the fiery, sustained eye-contact. Rasali stayed crouched for a particularly long minute, breathing raggedly the whole while. Then, without warning, she attacked. Rasali may not have been the cleverest of trolls, but she knew not to let your opponent know what you were doing until you were already doing it. She wasn't going to let Voscil know she'd recovered until there was nothing she could do about it. In the same move as her rise from the ground, Rasali overhanded her chain in Voscil's direction. Rasali does 5 damage!

HP: 8/20 Military Weapon: +1 DMG Power: Novice Agility - Style B 1/1Voscil watched her with feral intensity that would have made her lusus proud. Her impulsive decision to boot the other off her had actually paid off as she scrambled to recover her footing. In fact she seemed to have winded the other troll, or at least made her think twice about coming for her again. Feeling as if she was nearing the victory line, her confidence had distracted her enough not to watch the other's every single movement and action. In fact for what it was worth, Voscil was still breathing heavily the physical workout was intense but thrilling all the same. She looked excited almost as she got the feeling she'd done well enough to earn the other glaring at her while she caught her breathe. Her shoulders squared, a little bit of pride in the younger yellowbloods stance. Without warning however, the other's chain came for her. WIth no time to react, the heavy blow landed home. Grunting in pain, she growled at the other as she batted at the other trolls arm, going for the side she seemed to be leading with lobbing the chain at her, trying and whittle her down. Voscil deals 4 DMG!
