Near the arena
Grimacing as he tried to get the Arena doors open, but found them locked instead, Glen slumped down into a seated position outside. The Highlander had wanted to get some training in, but was now stuck outside while he waited for whatever was going on behind locked doors (no doubt important) to finish.
Deciding that it'd be a shame to waste his time simply sitting about doing nothing, Glen rose to his feet and unsheathed Mors. Holding his Claymore in both hands, Glen began to idly go through a handful of stances while he waited for things to wrap up inside.
Fight Now
Ieria snarled as her semblance roared to life, the familiar green glow looking more sickly and eerie than usual, as if something was wrong. As he went for the sweep, Ieria pulled her forward foot off the ground, making the sweep ineffectual, only for her to bring her foot down onto his still outstretched leg before he could finish the sweep, or at least attempt to.
Her semblance would boost her speed and power even more than it usually did, perhaps it was linked to the unhealthy glow?
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperJack instantly transferred into a cartwheel, landing on his feet. He looked at her. The glow was new. He was glad he had his mecha arm...made him feel safe and gave him weaponry, He slowly settled into a boxing stance and feinted several blows at her stomach and chest, attempting to get a feel for her reaction speed.
Good to be backIeria barely even flinched at his feints as she stepped forward and threw a powerful body blow from nearly point blank range. There was no build up, and yet the attack would feel impossibly strong if it were to hit.

The moment Ieria stepped forward Jack weaved to the side, taking the blow on his robotic arm, causing him to stagger for a second back, a bit taken aback by the blow. He grinned ferally,
Stepping to the left of Ieria, he attempted to punch her in the side just above the hip, hitting the the soft flesh rather then hard bone.
Good to be backBefore
With a nod, Hope presented Alice with the artifical leg. "Here you go."
Although she's been here before the place still kinda overwhelmed her with sheer selection.
The first time she was searching for a small, modest dress to look presentable for Midwinter. This time she would need something much more bombastic... or she could think outside the box.
With Yun in tow - kind of - she made her way to the section full of men's suits.
Portal to a Plane of Infinite Clothes
Stepping inside the Wardrobe, Rheia looked around, her eyes going wide.
Clothes.
Clothes everywhere.
As far as the eye could see. She walked for a minute trying to discern an end and found none. For a moment she hung there, completely overloaded by the sheer variety of choice placed in front of her.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Palace
Ai shrugged. "Immy, how much further did you and Pius get, uh, decrypting Shane's data, after I stopped checking in?" she said.
The Wardrobe
Ai walked into the royal wardrobe like she owned the place. She immediately spotted a row of clothes that piqued her interest and headed over.
She took a dress right off the rack. "This is Xiu's size," she said. She walked around a corner and disappeared further into the rows. Her comments could be heard from the other side—"This'll be good for her when it starts getting warm,"—"Oh, this is mom's favorite color,"—"The twins will grow into this..."
She emerged from the rows holding a pile of clothes of various sizes. Seemed she was putting that Midwinter Ball gift to good use. She suddenly realized something.
"Wait, that's not why we're here!"

Beacon
Glen would feel Erin finally emerge from the back of his mind. He would feel her multitude of mixed emotions. Confusion. Fear. A sort of wistfulness. Lots of uncertainty.
Ahh...umm.....I apologize for leaving in a hurry.
Palace
Alexia smiled shyly. "Soo...ummm...yeah, I-I'd like to help you...so...umm, actually I was worried that you..."
And then Alexia realized how stupid that sounded and winced, then facepalmed.
"I am so sorry! That was really offensive! I'm an idiot!" Alexia said quickly, blushing in absolute embarassment.
"A-anyway, umm...first...uh, what kind of dress do you prefer?"
Fight Time
Ieria didn't even seem fazed by the blow as she powered through and slammed into Jack with a shoulder check, the force behind her body would be enough to lift him off of the ground if it struck, before throwing him bodily at a wall.
Shopping Mall
Ieria looked around before turning to Alice. "Would you mind assisting me and Medus with our clothing?"
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperBeacon Arena: Before Ieria and Jack's little deathmatch
I'll see you there. Pius replied. When the Snickersnax arrived, he would find Pius waiting with Dies Irae sitting at his feet. "What took you so long?" He asked in that tone that intends to be playful beneath its somewhat serious delivery.
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...JACK AND IERIAS LITTLE DEATH MATCH
Jack slammed into the wall, grunting as he dropped down, he quickly rsn up the wall, jumping off and attempting to punch Ieria in the face,
That of course would be a feint, a move that telegraphed? He would drop onto all fours and sweep his leg at her heels.
Good to be backWardrobe
Noa whistled appreciatively as she looked around. Yeah, she had her own style. It didn't mean she couldn't see herself wearing some of this high grade stuff, though. In fact... She would wait for the others to be distracted before she tried to sneak a pair of those panties into a pocket in her jacket.
Guess she learned a few things from Noiri, that was for sure.
Duel
Ieria hopped up over the low sweep and attempted to drive her knee into Jack's face, snarling as she stared him down.
How dare you...how dare you lay those accusations against me? She thought, questioning him.
You know what you should do. The voice replied.
And Ieria found herself beginning to listen...regardless of whether her flying knee hit or not, she would stumble and clutch her head, gasping for air as something hot invaded her mind and body. She felt her knees grow weak, she felt tired, so tired...and she felt like something was trying to take the reigns from her. And she didn't feel as if she should stop it.
On the outside, Jack would begin to see her green lines start to slowly darken before turning red in color, her eyes doing the same.

Heide raised his arms-blocking it and being driven back by the force of his knee, and tumbled back, landing on his feet. "Hello Orochi." He said, bowing deeply and getting back into a fight stance, keeping his eyes trained on the glowing Faunus. "Sick of hiding behind a true Huntress like the pussy you are?"

Good to be backFight
Ieria turned her head to the side and stared at him, a pair of blood red eyes stared at him. "Orochi is not here, Jack." She snarled, her voice growing angrier by the moment before lunging at him, far faster than she had been before, to the point where she was almost a blur of movement, a black scaled fist careening straight for his face as she passed him.

At this point, Jack had the perfect strategy. Notice which way the blur was coming from and get the fuck out of the way. "Good." He declared. "You're in control of yourself!" He followed the blur...Just needed to get a bead on it, but for now? Dodging would suffice.

Good to be backFight? No, Kill.
The roar that escaped Ieria's mouth as she stopped in her tracks and bounced back at him, the sound of bones snapping accompanying the roar, answered him with a resounding no as she crashed into him, her fangs bared and her eyes filled with hate as she threw a barrage of punches.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperWith impossible speed and reaction, Ieria moved around the punch aimed at her center, her whole body seemingly moving like water around the punch, only for a stone like fist to slam into his chest right after. Her eyes bored into his, inches away now, bloodlust apparent in her gaze as she moved in to try and grab his throat.

Not As Sorry As He's Going To Be
Ieria flexed her hands as she looked up to Jack, murder in her eyes by this point. "I fear nothing. Least of all you or my power." She growled as she took her stance. "If you want your fight, come and get it."
