"YES!" Flicker says. "I think it is working!"

"Let's go get them!" Coil says, starting in Star's direction. "Star! Star! We're going to have a knife fight!"

"Wha-?" Star turns, confused.

Westward- trying to not look excited- jogs over to Ketek, whispers something in his ear, his plasma vibrant.

"I don't know, West," Ketek sighs, but Aesthetic strides over and looks expectantly at him. He sighs, "Fine."

Westdagger, shining a brilliant sunset yellow-to-orange gradient, forms in Ketek's palm.

Ohhh that looks so cool! 

"C'mon, Star!" Coil says giddily. Star sighs, but extends her hand to the side and summons Coil as a gleaming green Shardknife with white vine etchings along the edges. 

Flicker's pattern flares, and she starts to talk. "The rules. No hitting each other in the face. Don't be stupid. Don't hurt each other. Anything you want to add Aesthetic?"

"Uhhhh... have fun & please don't hurt anyone!"

Thanks!

 

Ketek falls into a crouching stance, Westdagger held in his nondominant hand for practice.

Star dropped into a battle stance, gripping the CoilKnife with her right hand. "Let's do this, I guess." Stepping forward, she feinted twice, then swung the knife in one short arc towards Ketek. 

Posted

Ketek held Westdagger in front of him, blocking Star with it, before dipping his hand low and jabbing forward under Star's extended arm.

Posted

Star leapt backwards, CoilKnife held out wardingly. "Nice move," she said lightly, grinning. Then, she jabbed lightly forward, the blow a feint. 

Posted

With his right hand, Ketek catches Star's arm, and attempts to knock/deflect CoilKnife out of her hand with Westdagger

"Yeah, and I'm getting good with my free hand too" Ketek grins.

Ketek, be nice...

You? Of anyone here you're telling me that?

What is going on with you?

Posted

Star quickly dropped the CoilKnife, letting it dissolve into mist. Then, bringing up her other hand, it reappeared, and she jabbed toward's Ketek's abdomen. "I'm getting pretty good too!" 

Star, do you have to be so aggressive? 

What? Coil, what are you talking about? You're the one who wanted me to do this. Why would I not be aggressive? 

I just think we could be a little bit nicer. 

This is a knife fight, Coil. We should be fighting. What is going on?!

Posted (edited)

Ketek stumbled slightly as the knife he was pressing against dissolved. After a very quick recovery, he feinted once, twice, and jabbed around Star, aiming for a pressure point.

Ketek! Pay attention to their knife, not your attacking!

Geez, West. You wanted the fight, not me- and now you're acting all peaceful? 

Tell me what is happening!

N-nothing! Nothing's happening!

Fizz, Vain, and Bud reappeared in the thread. There was Ketek and Star, fighting. Star bonded with a Cryptic too!

Bud quickly grew over to the cryptic, "Hello! What's your name?"

Vain quietly watched the fight, while sitting on Fizz's shoulder. Vain's eyes narrowed, watching the fight intently.

Aesthetic nudged Flicker.

"Should we tell them, or..?"

Grub suddenly appears and pops a party bomb (or something I swear party poppers are a thing but I don’t remember their name) right in Fizz’s ear. “ @Fizz9!!!!!! You’re back!!!!!”

“hi, I’m Chara, Grub’s highspren.”

Quark is wandering around trying to see if they can find some preservation tuned investiture in the vision.

Fizz jumped, instinctively summoning his Shardsword. It was a special sword made of both Vain and Bud. Unique to the Wingdancers.

Hey, what was that for?

Sorry, Fizz thought back, dismissing the Shards word.

"You scared me." Fizz said to Grub.

"Do you notice something weird going on with Star and Ketek's fight?" Vain whispered to Fizz, once dissmissed.

"I don't think so..." Fizz whispered in return.

Bud reappeared by Star's Cryptic. "Sorry, somone," Bud glared at Fizz, "summoned me. For no reason."

Aesthetic glances at the fight, then Flicker. 

"Well I'm going to tell them."

@Fizz9

"Yep! Go ahead!" Flicker said to Aesthetic, still watching the fight. Then, turning to Fizz's Cultivationspren, she said, "My name is Flicker. What's yours?" 

Star used the CoilKnife to block the blow from Ketek, locking blades so neither of them could move. 

Star, what are you doing? We should be nicer! 

"Hey," Star hissed to Ketek. "Is your spren acting weird too?" 

Ryil dropped in next to Vain, watching the fight with intrigue.

Vain offered a curt nod to Ryil, acknowledging her presence. Vain was close enough to hear a faint wispier coming from Star. Something about her spren acting weird.

It clicked. Coil, Star's Cultivationspren, liked Westward! The small group that Bud was huttled around was talking about it.

Vain chuckled. This would be pleasant to watch.

"Hi Flicker! I'm Bud. Fizz's Cultivation spren. Over there is Vain, Fizz's Honorspren." Bud said, her words tripping over themselves slightly.

"Yes, West's acting all peaceful! He's always urged me to fight more, not less!"

Ryil smiled lightly, nudging his tiny glasses farther up his nose. 

"Nice to meet you!" Flicker said brightly. "I think Ryil, Star's honorspren, is over there by Vain. And obviously Coil is there." 

"So did mine!" Star flushed slightly. "What is going on? Coil is normally all in for a knife fight. Something is wrong. What should we do?"

"I have an idea."

Aesthetic? What's happening?

Well... 

One conversation later:

West, that's wonderful!

Wh-What's wonderful?

Stop with the charade, Aesthetic told me.

Ketek looked at Star. 

"Ask Flicker about it, I assume she'll tell you what Aesthetic told me."

"Draw?"

Huh? You don't really want to know, do you?

Yes, Flicker, I do. 

One conversation later...

Oh, Coil, is that what's going on? That's great!

What are you talking about? 

Flicker told me everything. 

"Sounds good to me. Draw." Star dropped the CoilKnife, which dissolved into mist, and took a step back. Coil appeared next to her feet, startled. 

Posted

Ketek dropped his dagger, and Westward appeared on his shoulder, tiny. 

"Uhhh.... Hi, Coil. nice fight."

Posted

"Uh, hi Westward! Nice fight! You guys did really well!" Then, turning to Star, she said softly, "Is there any reason we stopped the fight early?"

Star sighed. "What do you think, Coil? Now, I'm going to leave you guys to talk." She started walking off, Ryil on her shoulder. 

"Um, uh, what?" 

Posted

Westward gets off Ketek's shoulder, and grows to full size. "I agree. What happened? Don't you hate darws?"

Ketek shrugs. "West, I've got to go, I have a meeting with (Redacted). See ya!"

Ketek leaves the vision.

"Wait! I-" Westward sighs. He turns to Coil. "Um, Star's move with switching hands was really smart. I didn't even think about summoning mechanics!"
