Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll try to get it done.

 

EDIT: here you go

Spoiler

*a horde of unicorn chalkings surround Melody, throw their heads back pridefully*

Doom - are you ready to fight?
because here we come, drag you out into light
galloping to the field of war
beware our arrival will set the score

We'll bite you apart, like a circle of chalk.
Till you try to flee, but you cannot see.

Slug - so slimy and small
crawl through your cave, to hide on the wall
squashing you into the ground
our hooves will leave nothing to be found.

The unicorn is a noble and majestic animal.

*Melody cuddles her unicorns fondly and waits for her opponent's response*

Here it is! 

Spoiler

*Initiating Roasting Sub-Routine*

Yo, I'm M-Bot, and I'm super fly,

the Defiants all think I'm a pretty fun-gi

Prepare to get burnt like the Krell that I blew up with a boom,

but boy you can't hide, cause there just ain't mush-room

Hey there Morgan Freeman, or should I say Tobias? 

Though if you ask me, that's a pretty dull alias

That Astronaut in your, head, tell him I said hello,

or should I say goodbye,

cuz you're about to be 'so long bro!'

The walking Wikipedia, that ain't a claim worth keeping 

All the data in my head, will leave yo eyes a weeping  

 

Dang it's hard to roast Tobias.

Unicorns are overly violent
They make a terrible co-pilot
And yet one I would still like to ride
see my enemies cower and hide
Doomslug will sing with me all night long
Whither your unicorn's voice or song?
Your sidekick of childhood fantasy
falls prey to this harsh reality:

He's imaginary.

No problemo. If you want, I'll even give you an extra day

Nah, I'll get it up now. I was able to get to it earlier then I thought.

Here it is!

Spoiler

Yes, it's me, Bastille (please don't kneel)

Sword-swinging, roast-flinging.

Knight of Crystallia, teen,

I could have been queen.

 

Jason Wright. I'll beat you outright.

"Cytonic", that's electronic.

Phone Company, what a joke,

your entire life is gonna go up in smoke.

 

I fought a Dark Oculator,

You barely defeated some alien hater.

I wear warrior's lenses,

You don't even have all five senses.

 

Blind man? Not a fan.

You're weak, Cytonics make you a freak.

Your company got lucky, you got power,

I'm better than that, don't be sour.

 

I protect a Smedry, I'm deadly.

I'm a powerful crystin, with magic built-in.

I defeated Archedis, evil knight,

I could beat you my eyesight.

Alright, here we go:

Spoiler

Bastille

Get real

I can’t help but feel

That your rhymes and lines and melodies have no actual appeal

 

Your blades are made of fancy crystal, 

mine are made from sheer willpower

Comparing mine to yours is like a tactical missile next to a little sunflower.

 

You’re a bodyguard right?

Well that sheds little light

On how you charges almost end up dead in every single fight

 

Sure I’ll admit, you’ve certainly some skills,

And those lenses of yours help you rack up the kills.

But I have to confess

You sword means a lot less

If when you’ve started your attack

I’m already behind you with my hand in your back.

 

I may be blind, but even I can see

That you never had a chance when you took on me.

Well done, everyone! I can't wait to see the results for this one!

Here's the link - vote vote vote!

https://forms.gle/6K3U9LzmTsP5enxeA

While votes are collected, we can start on the next round.

Up next is @Kidpen as Alcatraz, looking good in blue shades!

And @MetaTerminal as Stephen Leeds, our resident mad genius!

You have 48 hours to submit your roasts. Good luck!

Good job everybody! That was a hard decision!

======

@Paranoid King

I have to admit, I'm a bit loosing track of who is roasting whom. Could we maybe slow down a bit, and finish one battle before starting the next? I can see while it makes sense to have the next participants write their raps while we are voting, but we just ended up with six people in different rounds writing raps and that was a bit too much for me. I feel slightly hurried?

Thanks for the input - To tell the truth, it's been real tricky moving this quickly for me, too. I'm still learning the ropes here, but I definitely should have given you and John the tiebreaker round to yourself, rather than running two at once. So I'll slow down a bit, make sure people have time to soak in the scenery. Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

Stephen Leeds and Company Presents: A Roast, In Three Parts!

Spoiler

I’ll say it simple for the crowd; there’s no use in comparison.

Clumsy, foolish, and contemptible against me? The Legion?

The choice is clear, in my own eyes, and all my Aspects do agree.

Further proof provided in the fine print and the T+C’s.

To claim yourself a hero would be simply out of character.

Bastille could help, but she’s not here; you can’t rhyme much when lacking her.

Your ark of pleasant self-portrayal seems to have deserted you;

Not nearly as dependent is old Stephen Leeds’ twenty-two.

 

Adoline, the Meticulous, would never let an object break;

The same cannot be said for things that you have left in your own wake.

Armando, regal, head of Spain, and such an eye for framing things!

I’d like to see you hold a camera without causing a shattered lens.

Arnaud, with such a mind for complex topics, and relations

Qualms that make our charge dizzy with excessive consternations.

And Audrey, far more self-aware than Alcatraz could hope to be.

Instead, you twist your story ‘yond the realm of possibility.


Our Chin, of cybernetic fame, takes safety to the far extreme;

Unlike you, he’d never fall for a trap or a pyramid scheme.

Clive, adaptable, equipped for matters quite molecular

You failed school, dropped out of class, how would you be close to on par?

Dylan keeps his pace up while he works; a nobel laureate

Namesake, at least; while you’re named after something proletariat.*

I’ll stop there. I don’t want to cause redundancy; don’t need it, as

I’d only need a single Aspect to outwit young Alcatraz.

(*Not a political statement, nor an accusation of anything, just the only thing that fit and rhymed.)

This wasn't the best time for me, but I enjoyed putting this together. Hopefully it's up to scratch.

@Kidpen, you've only got a few hours left, I believe!

And the polls are in:

The winner of round one is Melody Muns!

The winner of round two is Tobias!

And the winner of round three is Jason Write!

Congratulations @Sorana, @I think I am here., and @Snipexe!

@MetaTerminal, I love the vocabulary - It fits right in with Leed's character.

@Kidpen, let us know how your roast is coming along.

In a pm I am in with him, Kidpen did say that he had just gotten back from a camp, so that may be the delay

Oh shoot, yeah, that's what happened. I've had very little time today and no time yesterday to write. I'll try and and see if I can get it done tonight, but if I don't (and I probably won't) it'll get done early tomorrow.

Spoilers for Legion 3 (I forget the title)

Spoiler

 

Hello! The royalty is here!

Oh? You think I need Bastille to rhyme like Shakespeare?

Perhaps you forget, I’ve got a Talent for breaking things with me too

And the things it can break include you.

 

What’s that? You say your Aspects could defeat me?

Perhaps you forget their unfortunate demise

Sandra decided it was better if they just went away

And they were all murdered that day

 

Speaking of Sandra, you’re one to call me dependent

Considering that without her help, you didn’t keep a single attendant

Even before that terrible event

Without the help of Wilson you couldn’t even pay the rent

 

And perhaps you remember a specific case?

When your enemy managed to take you to a place

Where your aspects were all left behind

And we found out that without them you barely even have a mind.

 

How interesting that you ignore the part of your aspects

That is better described as just side effects

They each are just a little touched in the head

Smedries are odd, sure, but our quirks won’t fill you with dread

 

In conclusion, it seems you’re a bit of a hypocrite

And really, while you were ahead you should have quit

Everyone knew you could never have beaten us

Me and my Talent, so please don’t make a fuss.

Just fyi. I won't have a laptop close by starting wednesday, so please don't plan me in the next six days. I won't be able to post. Sorry, but without a keyboard and on a larp convention, that's not really possible.

I have to say, snip, this was far better then mine.

Mine was hastily thrown together and I had trouble thinking of insults for your character :P

Nah, yours was good. I just happened to get lucky that my character has some pretty good roasts for yours. :)

And the votes are in!

Congratulations to @MetaTerminal! Looks like you're taking the leed in this match.

The current contenders for the second round are @Sorana, @I think I am here., @Snipexe, and @MetaTerminal. Well done to the four of you for making it to the second round!

And congratulations to our other contestants, too! I've enjoyed each and every roast so far. I hope to have you back in the next tournament!

And that's the end of the first bracket! We'll be having a short break before we begin round two. We should be back... August 4? @Sorana, how does that work for you?

I'll be back in the evening of August 4. So August 5 would be better.
