*A Smokescreen, eh? I've deflected one of those before and I can do it again. I shoot out a light Fairy Wind to dispel the smoke preemptively and begin charging up a Dazzling Gleam.*
Are you ready? Go live!It didn't last long, but the Smokescreen gave me a little time to come up with something, and I gun it towards PJ. As soon as I was close enough, I jump up at him with a Flame Charged uppercut. "Scarlet Overdrive!"
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.Buggy, I barely even know what's goin' on with that. All I know is that she's some sorta psycho crazy bug who's brainwashed him or somethin'. (Marsha says.) Not a good situation, if ya ask me...hope the others can snap out of it.
Speaking of which, I wonder where the others are. (Marsha adds.) Ya think the intermission at the tournament's over yet? They mighta gone back there already.
Wow, look at Niles go! (I say.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."[I close the door behind me and walk over towards my bed, stepping around the still knocked-over cabinet. I should probably do something about that, maybe tell someone who could help me move it. I could Transform, maybe into a Machoke or something or maybe just shift my arms, but I'm not quite feeling it, and I don't think it's that heavy.]
[I grab my bag and shawl and put them on, then walk back over to the cabinet. Bending over, I wriggle my fingers between the cold, stone floor and the wooden lip of the countertop until I feel I have a good grip. I try and lift, but not too seriously: looking at it, it doesn't seem like it's budged at all. I'll deal with it later...]
"Hey, again," [I say to Yalta as I walk back towards the buffet area, shawl on with fasteners fastened, bag hanging from my shoulder, all that jazz.]
*I go flying from the uppercut and accidentally fire off my Gleam before I get back on my feet (or wings, in this case). At that moment, the intensity of the moment begins to properly sink in. Once more, I can feel the adrenaline within shooting an exciting sensation all through my body. My blood is pumping, I'm beginning to ache, and I am loving every second of it. I think back to my fight with Iris and I can recall a similar thrill from that. This is what I signed up for. I back away from Niles and begin crafting a Pollen Puff, noting that I should keep a greater distance if I wish to claim victory.*
PJ: "You know, you're actually doing pretty well! I just wonder how you'll take this!"
*I chuck my fully-formed Pollen Puff his way.*
PJ: "Fleur Grenade!"
Yalta: "Are you all set? We should make our way to the arena now, I believe intermission might have already ended."

Are you ready? Go live!Wow! (I say as PJ fires the Pollen Puff.)
(Marsha comes in and sits down with us.) Hey fellas, what's happenin' right now?
It's PJ versus Niles, Marsha. (I explain.) How'd your "date" with Andy go?
Eh, it went a lot better than I was expectin'. (Marsha says. Then she looks at Delilah.) What on earth are you wearin', Del?
I bought a swimsuit at the bazaar today during the break. (Delilah explains.) Looks good, doesn't it?
Well...uh...sure, whatever ya say. (Marsha says, turning to the ongoing battle, shaking her head with a bewildered expression as she does so.)
I'm sure she'll get used to it. (Delilah chuckles to Marlon and I before turning her attention back to the battle as well. I also do so.)

THE BLOW LANDS! Poor Whirlwind just can't get a break. *Birch observes, while Elm reports* Certainly seems that way, Birch. It's hard to tell from here but... *Elm pauses while adjusting her binoculars* ...the Whirlwind's expression has changed? Could this be an awakening of sorts, or a kind of boast?
*Jani simply notices* Niles has gotten faster again, hasn't he? Something about that charge he does...I don't think he even realizes it himself. referring to Flame Charge's speed boost
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.*I see Niles darting toward me and I realize I can't get out of the way in time, but an idea springs into mind. I build up another Gleam in my palm and, the very second I'm given the chance, fire it point blank at Niles once he's nearly on top of me.*
Yalta: "That's fine. Now then, let's go."
*Yalta walks toward the exit, giving a glance back at Eliot to see if he's following.*

Are you ready? Go live!In a moment of panic, I raise my right arm in front of me, letting it take the full force of the attack. I'm pushed back, but my demeanor refused to change. Doing my best to ignore the pain in my arm, I manifest the most smug expression I can manage. "Hate to break it to ya, Tinker Bell, but you'll need more than fairy dust to send me flying!" I leap back and focus my energy, firing out multiple star-shaped projectiles. "Star Breaker!"
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.

*Jani notices* He took that like a champ, huh? Guess he's strong against light attacks. *got it half right, anyway*
NO HOLDS BARRED RIGHT HERE, FOLKS! *Birch bellows, while Elm elaborates* No kidding. Whirlwind waited for the right moment to unleash his attack — but charCoal seemed to predictably take it well. With those stars liable to whittle down the Whirlwind, one can only wonder what he still has up his sleeve.

Andy sips more of his beverage. How do you feel about this PJ and Belladonna situation?
