Slowly freezing to death.
Antoine Gille Fournier, BLU Sniper. Currently waiting assignment.
((I won’t be around too much this weekend… Guild Wars 2, guys. I’ll try to pop in and keep up with updates! 8’D
/spirals off into oblivion))
Antoine did his best to avoid the series of stabs, unfortunately not being as evasive as he’d like. “I prefer breathing room, not the close and personal type, if you get what I mean!” Lifting his rifle to whack away a jab towards his chest, but instead taking the knife to his arm, the Sniper continued to back away in a mad attempt to escape JT’s blade. Bumping against the wall behind him caused another unsteady shot at the Spy’s chest, Antoine’s grip on the rifle weakening as blood began to soak through his sleeve and down his arm.
The rifle’s wavering shot blew straight through JT’s shoulder, and he cried out in agony, clamping down his free hand over it blood gushing over his gloved fingers. This was bullshit. If the Spy didn’t watch himself, he was going to end up bleeding to death before he was able to finish off the BLU Sniper, and there was no way that was going to happen as far as he was concerned.
Gritting his teeth, continued his assault, jabbing his knife as fast as he could at the other man, despite his own injuries. “Why won’t you die?! Where do I gotta stab you, huh?!
Antoine winced as he could see the Spy’s blood splatter on the wall behind him, creating a lovely speckled pattern of red. Better the wall than him, a face full of blood was not appealing in the least. What Antoine got in return was even worse. The incoming knife moved much faster than he’d expected and incapable of keeping up with it, it wasn’t much of a surprise when a stab hit. The blade dug deep into the Sniper’s chest, taking the breath out of him and leaving only a whimper which didn’t give the current pain justice.
Antoine staggered away gasping before dropping the rifle to press a hand to the wound with twitching fingers, the other hand clawing at the satchel wrapped around his leg. There wasn’t a chance to determine whether something vital had been damaged or not, he just wanted to WIN.
Panic and desperation gripped him as he pulled out one of his “prized” jarates, blood dripping down the glass of the jar. It was a clutch move, but as the Sniper whipped the revolting container at JT he couldn’t help but grin wickedly while pulling his bushwacka out of its sheath.
JT snuck around the upper level of the central room, disguised as one of the BLU Spies, while looking for a mark; staying alive and killing the other team was the name of the game, right? Hearing what sounded like footsteps ahead of him, the Spy creeps towards it, and finds the BLU Sniper. With a grin, he moved in for the kill, knife raised.
Antoine did not like this whole arena shenanigans. Being locked inside a building, not by choice he might add, and without anywhere to really run was not his pocketful of sunshine. Keeping the lovely terminal respawn conditions in mind kept the Sniper moving back and forth along the upper floor.
Glancing back to the point and around him at a nervous pace, Antoine nearly lost his grip on his rifle when turning back to see the RED spy there with that shiny blade all up in his face. Immediately backing up to create some distance between the two and allow him to take a quick shot at JT, the rifle kicked up resulting in completely missing the Spy and a curse from Antoine.
JT almost laughed at how much he’d startled the other Sniper, but then again, he’d missed on his first stab as well, and that did not look good. Steeling himself, he lunged again at the other man, stabbing at him repeatedly, looking for even just one good hit on the backwards-moving enemy.
“Come on, man, and fight! Don’t run away like a girl!”

RED and BLU Teams:
Your lack of stamina in previous battles has been duly noted, so the Administration feels it is best to keep you on your toes, so to speak. This week’s battle will be quite different from what you are used to. Just remember: change is good, as long as it benefits your company.
BATTLE OUTLOOK: August 15
Battle Type: Arena (modified; see Alerts/OOC Notes sections below)
Team Lineup: All-in (Current 5Gorge Roster); RED Soldier Conrad Smith will not be available due to medical leave.
Start Time: 12 noon
Weather Forecast: Thunderstorms, high 78 degrees
Terrain: N/A
Respawn Conditions: Terminal
Alerts: This entire battle will take place in the main building surrounding the center point. Once your team enters the building, the door will lock behind you. The battle itself is timed and will last for precisely two (2) hours. Whichever team has killed the most members of the opposing team will claim victory. (See OOC Notes section for more details)
Assessment:
The Administration expects total annihilation. That is all.[[OOC Notes:
Battling info — Due to the nature of this battle mode, we will be assigning battle encounters via ask; if you do not receive one on the night before Battle Day, please contact us ASAP as Tumblr may have chosen to eat the ask. You may also send us an ask requesting a specific match-up. Once encounters are assigned, you should immediately contact the player of the character with whom your character is to do battle and determine the results of that fight (one wins, both die, etc.) then report that back to the Mods. Should you choose for your character not to participate in this battle, your character will automatically be added to the ‘Killed’ list. Please let us know ASAP if you do not wish to participate.
RP Tips — The ask box is well-suited for quick skirmishes, kills, and exchanges of fire! Longer reblog threads are good for pre-determined closed fights. If you’re unsure of how to respond to an interaction, send a question to your fellow player before posting — we’re all friendly here!
Notes — This is our first try at RPing arena battles, so it’s a work in progress! Snafus are just learning experiences, so let’s all give it some enthusiasm and test out the system! We encourage everybody to hang out or periodically drop into the 5Gorge chat on Wednesdays to enjoy the action (and occasionally troubleshoot) as a group!]]
Because THUNDERSTORMS. *throws hands up in the air with a look of disgust*
and arena? Moving out of the good ol’ comfort zone I see.
*clicks heels together and Bows* Dr. Friedrich Boid at your zervice.
You’re the new RED medic, yeah?
Have fun over there! I like shooting medics. c’:
RED and BLU Teams:
By now you should be familiarizing yourself with the 5Gorge battlefield. We expect to see creative use of architecture and terrain in skirmishes; if we wanted to see you run back and forth down the middle of the field we would have invested in a soccer franchise.
BATTLE OUTLOOK: August 8
Battle Type: Control Point
Team Lineup: All-in (Current 5Gorge Roster)
Start Time: 2pm
Weather Forecast: Sunny, high 80 degrees
Terrain: Dry and unimpeded
Respawn Conditions: Instant
Alerts: Please note the departure of Arthur Cox, RED Medic. RED Team, please endeavor to space out your injuries as best as possible. BLU Team, please try not to single out the RED Medic — it isn’t polite.
Assessment:
With teams evenly matched at 15 per side, no one should be wandering empty-handed. Please note the accelerated Instant respawn status — we will be testing our teleporter-augmented system, and there is the possibility of encountering one’s own corpse when leaving Respawn promptly. Those who are unfazed by this will do best. You may consider it an incentive to keep your mind on the mission and not protecting your own hides.[[OOC Notes:
Point Captures — Feel free to RP point captures at points 3 (Center) and 2/4 (Wash). Battle-winning captures (Points 1/5) will be pre-determined and privately-notified before the battle wrapup is posted.

…that’s going to be creepy. I’m going to end up stepping on my own arm, I know it. *grits teeth and drags a hand through his hair*
