FOIL ROUND 1: REX VS. BLACKMORE

Welcome to the Individual Foil tournament of the second Panem Olympic Games! The fencing strips are located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

See also: Foil Information Thread

The three fencing events (Epee, Sabre, and Foil) are tournaments, which follow brackets. Each match will have its own thread, which will be posted by me. Feel free to roleplay your character fencing their opponent for each touch and then paste the code [*roll range="1-4"] without the asterisk into your post and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This corresponds to the number of points your competitor scored in a row, and will be added to your total. All fencing bouts go to fifteen touches and follow turn order, as a regular fight using the combat system would.

The competitor who reaches fifteen points first wins the bout and moves on to the next round. As the bouts finish, the winners will be recorded here; when all the first round bouts have been completed, the bracket will be updated and the next round will start.

CURRENT SCORE

Russet Rex: 0
Aragorn Blackmore: 0

TL;DR
Dice: [*roll range="1-4"] until someone reaches 15. Take turns.
Deadline: 08/23 ~11:59pm EST

Does, Says, Thinks

This thing was not like the knives he knew best, but it wasn't even like the swords he had seen either. It was weird in his hand, too long but still similar in weight. Bemused by the weapon, he tested it with a few pokes and slashes at nothing. He could use it, surely, but it wasn't as comfortable as using a knife. Still, moving quickly and flicking his weapon in and out in a dance around his opponent seemed to be exactly what he was aiming for. Smiling, he tested the weapon once more as he stepped onto the edge of the mat. Across from him was a larger boy and he grinned. He was small and fast and light on his feet, as long as he didn't get pinned down he would be fine.

The match started and he watched, waiting for his moment before darting in.

ARAGORN BLACKMORE

They gave me a sword.

They gave me a sword. Aragorn Blackmore. A thing that could potentially be used to kill.

Its't it great?

Isn't it wonderful?

A smile is plastered to my lips as I run a gloved finger over the thin blade. It was like nothing I have used before, not a knife, nor one of those actually swords This one was with and round with a sharp point at the end. It was fascinating to say the least.

One of the assistants hand me a helmet and I give them an ice cold smile before pulling it down over my head and facing the boy who was supposed to me my opponent. But they would not be an opponent but a test mouse because this was a test after all. I wanted to know more about the thing in my hand, I wanted to know if I could actually inflict some pain, if it was actually a weapon worthy to be placed in the hands of Aragorn Blackmore.

There is a beep, which I was far from ready as my gaze was still fixed on my blade and something nudged me in the arm followed by another beep.

I raise an eyebrow, which would not be seen under the heavy mask and turn to face my opponent in a ready stance, but I was to slow because another beep another hit and another beep later I am seeping with rage.

It was not supposed to go like this. I was supposed to be in charge.

I would be the next one to land an attack.

Does, Says, Thinks

The bigger boy wasn't as quick as him, obviously, but he had the feeling that if he were pinned down or put in a place where he couldn't run then there could be trouble. He just wouldn't get in that position then, dart in and dart out. One touch to his face sent him grumbling back to the start position and he readied himself again. He was much smaller, but he had to use that to his advantage. Smaller target, quicker target, against a much larger much slower, and yet much more powerful target. He could do this, he was going to show his family he was the best. He had to. Besides, he wanted to see this guy's face when he was beaten by a kid that was half his size.

ARAGORN BLACKMORE

beep.

I move.

My thing that was almost like a toothpick pokes the guy on his helmet and I smile because there is another beep signally that that point was mine. It was quite easy yousee, to run as an object and poke this weapon at it. A beep sounds again and I run and it lands on the guys stomach causing a big commotion because apparently you were not allow to hit the person there.

I sigh, well that sucks.

They guide us back to our start points where the guy jabs at me another two freaking times between the beeps and I begin to wander what this was all about because I was supposed to be the one in charge, stabbing this shithead in front of me, so why was he poking me? why was I letting him through?

I frown.

I charge.

maybe i should just snap its neck.

He had done exactly what he had thought would happen; he had gotten trapped by the older boy's bulk and was tapped once, twice, thrice, four times. It was to the point where the damn buzzer was now a nuisance instead of a friend. He had to regain his composure, and make sure that he ended up with more points. C'mon Rex, get a hold of yourself.

ARAGORN BLACKMORE

Three more hits he gets on me and I am raging because I couldn't have this. This couldn't be happening. "Now look here you little shit, I am going to win. I am going to poke you until they say stop and I am going to be going threw to the next round." There is so much more that I still need to learn. I wanted to know more about this weapon, but this tester wasn't doing as I thought they would so I would have to exterminate them and move on, learn more from my next target.

I go for him, the edge of my blade catching the right side of his helmet and I smile coldly under my mask. The beep goes off and I turn back to my spot, my before turning around and waiting for the signal to take off once again. I here it and I move, the boy parry's my first attack, but not my next one, catching him of his left arm. I give a small harsh bark of laughter and wait to start again. I hit him two more times and each time I feel my chest pop with pride because I knew I was good, but I didn't not know I was this good. "You gonna have to do better than this, brat."

Russet is going to stick out his tongue, realize no one can see, then say "Whatever boulder, say what you want. You're not very fast and you're not very small, you'll never catch me."

ARAGORN BLACKMORE

He pokes me twice, evening out the scores and I give him a sly smile as words slip past his lips. They were pathetic of course, cause I didn't need to be small, and bitch, I was fast. I could catch him with my eyes shut. All my life I have been trained to be fast and sly and cunning so a little boy like him wasn't going to show me up. So instead of even saying a word I just walk back to my position, my body ready to attack, my eye focused on nothing but the boy in front of me.

Get ready to lose.

There is a beep and I dart forwards, the tip of my weapon catching his right arm. I smile to myself and move back to the start without a word. I was focused. I was going to win because I was Aragorn Blackmore, I was above all. There was no way I could lose, not to a peasant. I dart at him again and the edge of my blade slides along the left side of his torso causing the beeper to go off one more time. Then the process is repeated.

I look up at the score and see that it was 12 to 9 12 being my score and I cant help but turn to the boy, my words laced with sarcasm. "Oh man, you are right! How ill I ever catch you."

ARAGORN BLACKMORE

He wont get through again.

I dart towards him and my weapon connects. A loud siren goes off and I step away from the boy and lift the helmet from my face, tucking it under my arm. I don't smile at the boy, but I pin him with my cold eyes. The referee said that I was to shake his hand now, a show of good sportsman ship or some shit like that. But I don't because there was no way on this earth that I was going to shake hands with a termite. Only people who were equal to me would be allowed to shake hands with me, would be allowed to see some sort of mutual respect from me. Not this kid, not a loser.

Instead I raise to fingers to my eyes and then point them at him, like a snake, signalling that I would be watching, I always will be watching. If he ever got into the games, and if he were to meet myself there, I am almost certain that I would catch him, and then I would be allowed to snap his neck. I would be allowed to kill in that situation.

The thought brings a wild smile to my lips.
