FOIL ROUND 1: HAMMERFELL VS. LUMIERE

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 strip, 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

Torka Hammerfell [Malachor Erso D2 (Cato)]: 13
Lilith Lumiere [napoleon, d2m ₊⊹ 🐁 ɢʀɪғғɪɴ.]: 8

TL;DR
Dice: [*roll range="1-4"] until someone reaches 15. Take turns.
Deadline: 08/29 ~11:59pm EST

Torka Hammerfell

I am invincible. I have trained every single day to get to where I am now. Fighting my way from the bottom to the top because I want my name to be in the spotlight. Mason had his turn. Orion had his turn, and now it's my turn. I had my chance, but some foolish kid stole it from me, and he didn't deserve the chance. But now this is all for me. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I cock my head slightly as I lift the sword into the air taking my position. Nobody will steal my honor and glory again. I almost had it once, and I refuse to lose it again.

Lilith

Lumiere

She doesn't know him and haven't caught a glimpse of him.

Before she strikes back, her ashy two orbs traveled to the visage of her opponent. He looks like a person attempting to look formidable. Pathetic. She had seen individuals like him in various training sessions. She had crossed swords with them and had defeated them, blasting them backwards till their back was again the cold wall of the arena and the tip of her weapon resting on the side of their necks.

And, of course, she had seen the horror engulfing their pupils.

"My, my. Are you a marble or a sea stone?" The question twisted her lips into a grin.

"Well, whatever you are, you should know that you are no match to a jewel."

Torka Hammerfell

Such a cocky girl. I shake my head at her words. None of them make sense, yet here I am staring down the prey refusing to allow her to win. There has to be something wrong with my sword because her's did better than mine, and that isn't allowed. The faint sound of my beating heart echoes through my mind as I pivot around. But it isn't finished yet. I still have work today. I close my emotions away allowing nothing more than a blank stare to reach the face of my opponent. The less I show the better. And I hate to break it to her, but she's going to lose, and nothing can save her.

Lilith

Lumiere

"Not answering a lady, how rude." She taunted again, even though her skin had been opened by another gash. The pain stings and sends her muscles into a circus of sparks but she persists on striking back. She can't lose. She can't face the mockery that will be smeared on his face when he sees that she lost. She can't stand the spiteful words that will fly from his lips to pierce her innards. To do that, she might defeat the individual in front of him. Although she doesn't know him, she understands the flicker of hope inside his eyes completely. She was familiar with it.

And, she was known to be quite the hope crusher in her district.

Torka Hammerfell

If I wasn't standing in the middle of an Olympic stadium, I would reach across the room and knock the piss out of her for insulting a king. But I can't do that right now. I can reach out and touch her with the foil and nobody say a word about it. And now that I know it bothers her, it's time to play it to my advantage. I pivot around on my feet regaining my balance and my position. My gait shifts for a moment slowing down the pace. Quickness has gotten me this far, and I won't allow it to stop me now. I flash a cocky grin before moving forward. It's time to put on a show.

Lilith
Lumiere

She gritted her teeth, pearl white fangs clashing against each other and releasing low hisses towards her opponent. She can't take the individual in front of her as a mere joke anymore. This man can parry and strike with accuracy and the correct force. But, she can too. She is also one of the careers who is making this Olympic event a grand hit among the Capitol citizens. The same fire that ignites him does the same thing to her. She guessed that both of them were familiar with the metallic flesh of a blade too, judging from the innate method he is using to hold the foil. She took a long blink for a second, loosening her grip on the pain and the entire world around her. She imagined a realm where she is the infinite power, no rivals or people that can overpower her. And, she snatched some aspects of that world to this one.

Then, she strikes back.

Torka Hammerfell

My movements are perfect, and I can't let this foolish girl catch up. Messing around would only jeopardize my lead. I turn away as quickly as I can getting out of her range of fire, but only after receiving a couple blows from her. A cocky grin twists across my face, and I find myself struggling to control the laugh bubbling inside my chest. I know it's almost over, and I know what I have to do. It's only a matter of finishing what I've started. I take a deep breath, and I spin around again. It's time to teach her a lesson.
