Description: "First Dan made heaven and earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of Dan was moving over the face of the waters. And Dan said, "Let there be pink"; and there was pink. And Dan saw that pink was good; and God seperated the pink from pansy girl colors." the word of dan (Winner: Cherise)
Bright! Vivid! Cheerful!
It's just like the girl that's standing in the dojo, wearing the white blouse and the short black skirt. Her legs are bare all the way to the floor, her boots set off at the entrance of the dojo-- and she still doesn't exactly understand why. That's Japan for you, full of strange traditions and other things that don't make sense.
But she's not alone, no-- not while the camera crew is prepped and ready to go when the rest of the fighters arrive for this very special coaching match with the master of the dojo: Dan Hibiki. Though he reminds her more of someone she saw in an action movie once, she's seen his photo before-- on the way here, when she asked who's who and gave her a rough idea of what she's going to be dealing with.
Nursing a bottle of water, the French girl stands with one fist on her hip, eyeballing the soft-packed guitar case she left in the corner, with some of the staff equipment. She has a practice to attend to after this, down at the club-- and here's hoping she'll be able to walk straight afterwards.
Not that it'd stop her.
Dan sure is in here, decked out not in his usual sensei attire but the only thing that could make being a coach have meaning. That's right, a letterman jacket. Not just any letterman jacket, one with DH emblazoned on the right breast. Undeneath it is a cool mint button down shirt with a red tie. And his slacks? White Courdouroy. He's got coach written all over him. Esepcially on his back where the word COACH is written all over! What completes this ensemble? Nothing more than a pair of extremely dark-tinted aviator sunglasses, and the constant jawmotion of the bubblegum chewing he's doing. He's ready to coach, he's ready to teach these young students what it means to be a fighter. Are they ready to take up his challenge?
Sada walks in with her traditional elegant grace (read: vaguely arrogant strut), trailing the long hem of her modified Seijyun skirt behind her and humming softly something that is probably all traditional and Japanese under her breath. Perhaps she should wear sakura petals in her hair to add to the effect! She also has an instrument case with her. She gives Cherise a sweet, slight smile as she steps closer, and sets the case down.
It thumps and rattles. She looks over then towards their Coach. "Well," she says as she kneels down to unpack her instrument, which is of course a piece of sharp steel with a handle on the other end of a long chain from a ten pound weight, "I suppose we should listen to our 'coach's' advice, and then get to work, don't you think?"
Oh, and look at this! The girl that enters, the very picture of a young lady with ... a lot of chain, and blades, and a weight. The light in Cherise's eyes just gets a little brighter as the smile on her face grows from a nigh-bored expression to one something like excitement and amusement. The French girl already has an idea of what's in store for her.
Cherise caps her bottle of water and throws it off to one of the staffers so she can better weave her fingers together and stretch her arms high over her head. Letting her arms drop to her side, the wire-slinging assassin turns to Dan and only gives a crisp salute, palm outturned and ready. "All right then. -Coach-," Cherise says, letting her accented voice put a little more emphasis on the word, "We will hear your pointers!"
Dan smiles and claps his hands together, ready for the BIG GAME, or the SNF as it were, "ALRIGHT THEN KIDDOS! LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS," oh god, he's yelling already? With a point to the filmcrew's camera he says, "AND DON'T YOU KIDS AT HOME BE AFRAID TO TRY THIS OUT YOURSELVES! Now the first thing you're gonna do is break out in shotgun formation, that is to say get ready to fight each other with the shotguns you both carry in your fists and feet. I want this underway, I want this underway now let me see those moves, MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!"
It's gonna be a long night.
"I am honored to recieve your advice!" Sada says, bowing forwards deeply as she steps outwards, spinning the kusari idly as if it were some kind of over-sized Sanrio purse. "Hm hm hm - So, Cherise, isn't it? Do you mind if I call you that?"
Her eyes go slightly upwards. "I like your hair - Do you dye it out that shade, or are you a bit more mature than you look?" Of course, the problem with opening with taunting is...

The shotguns they carry ... in their fists and feet? Cherise wonders if there's something lost in the translation, for a moment, sort of like the inability to properly process the idea of being barefoot on a dojo floor. Turning herself to face Sada, she still doesn't seem like she's ready to be getting into a fight-- the clothes, the absolutely chipper attitude... oh, and even a comment on her hair! "Oh, no..." she says, curling her finger into a bit of the ends, "My hair has been like this since birth. I love yours, too. Kept so well!"
Her posture suddenly shifts, feet spreading wide and bending at the knees. Her right hand curls, fingers becoming tense and the position of her hand looking more like an upturned claw. Swinging her arm up in a smooth arc, paper-thin blades of silver are the first things to get thrown in the fight. Not precisely a 'shotgun in her fist,' the energy screams toward Sada in an attempt to rip into the girl bodily-- and not only transmit the odd-feeling energy, but to literally try to slice through clothing and flesh, to draw blood. Already, Cherise's amusement and smile turns into violence and a shark's grin, eyes as wide as they can be.
Did they mention to Sada Asai that this girl is popularly considered a wee bit crazy?

Dan, seeming to move like lightning is suddenly behind Sada, "Okay! So you see I liked your style in the first set there! But that's not going to earn you anything but bruises unless you can back it up with confidence or distract them from not mashing your face! Also it was a little too subtle! You've got to go for the JUGULAR, like you gotta say something like.... uhhhhhhhh"
Dan points at Cherise, "Your hair is silly and it makes you look old, you old maid. Coming into this fight looking like you're about to go to a nursing home is NO WAY TO LIVE. If you don't dye it you should because why is it so white maybe a nice red highlight would look better just throwing that out there!"
"And that's how you really do it, but you'd better be ready to THINK QUICK!"
With advice dispensed... Dan does nothing.

"Why thank you!" Sada says, before the energy blast STRIKES HER IN THE CHEST.
The blow is powerful enough to send her toppling backwards nearly ten feet, bouncing on the dojo floor for a full two rounds before coming to rest and bleeding all over herself. She does not, however, cry out, nor does she exert some kind of wailing beg for mercy. Her eyes look a little wet as she rises up, blood oozing down the tatters of her blouse (which is not cut at the bra line, convieniently) as she turns her attention back to Cherise, eyes widening.
"Oh!" she shouts. "So that is how you want things, huh?!" And now she's grinning too, spinning that kusari with renewed force - it is perhaps unsettling how quickly she has changed! EIther way, despite blood and pain, she charges forwards, slinging the high-speed spinning weight around at Cherise's general area to tangle her up and, of course, severely bludgeon her. She can then proceed to the cutting - right!?
"Yes, Coach!" she shouts. "THE JUGULAR!"

The jugular, he says-- and maybe, in a way, she did just that and then some. The Argent Claw digs into Sada just as she planned, with a few extra benefits, sending her tumbling and all. Cherise's amusement finds no limit, even while Dan goes out of his way to single her out and make comments about the color of her hair and ... using some cross words regarding her age. "Ha ha ha ha!! You are funny, reject man!"
So funny that she nearly gets herself bludgeoned by a heavy weight and caught up in the great length of chain held in the Japanese girl's possession. Cherise twists hard to the left, pirouetting away from the weight and snapping her arms forward, left high and right low. There's a sharp *pak!* noise above Sada and near her feet, with barely-visible lines of silver leading away from her hands... or is it her bracelets? Hopping, her hands grip the air and pull fiercely, slingshotting herself toward Sada with her foot extended with the intent to, at the very least, make contact. And if it does, the stomp-like action stops before it can cause any real damage... however, a surge of that odd power she wields sizzles to life and courses down the length of her leg, trying to press a sharp spike of power through the Seijyun student's chest and introduce her to a large bevy of pain.
Reject Man?!?! Reject Man, well! He'll show her a thing or two!
Dan suddenly is behind Cherise, how is he moving so fast, and zipping in like that? Who knows? Television Magic! In any case, he begins to coach Cherise, "And you. What are you doing just going all out like this there's no strategy here. Come on you can't hope to win that way. If I were you, I'd throw a thing at her. A small thing to make her think about what she's doing here. You are not fighting correctly. See how this works, not even you'll be able to BLOCK IT I think?!?"
Dan pulls a piece of bazooka joe bubblegum out of his jacket's pocket and flings it right at Cherise. A little piece of Bubble gum! One might think he was being sponsored as he somehow flings it with such skill that the logo is always in view of the camera. Hmm, what's going on here?

The Kusarigama is whirling around like some kind of heavy objects on chains! Sada hears Dan's command - and obeys! She shifts her weight backwards, raising up the kama as she turns her head away from that energetic blast. The aftershocks sting; her arm goes slightly numb, even, but it doesn't aggravate her chest injuries further. "Hnh!" she says aloud, telling Cherise then, "You should respect your teacher!"
And she's nearby, which means that she gets a length of chain whipped around with sudden speed at her legs, followed by a shove from Sada, intended to send her flat on her back and possibly teenaged ass. "Or else," she continues, "it's bad luck!"

Is that-- bubblegum? Seriously? Cherise's eyes narrow just slightly as her foot comes into contact with Sada's arm, pulling again on the wires that suspend her in the air to bring herself backwards. Her lower arm pulls up, ripping a chunk out of the tatami mat while her hand smacks the gum away from the intended course. It flicks up and smacks her lightly in the face, but it's largely ignored while she's focusing more and more on Sada.
The French girl gets one leg down while the freed-up arm whips forward, the wire leading from her bracelet and the golden tip looking to snap across the Seijyun girl like a cracked whip.
The chains prove faster.
Pulled suddenly, the tip buried in the ceiling of the dojo pops out and ruins whatever chance of suspending her weight she had, allowing Sada to put Cherise right down on her back. Her nineteen year-old back. "Ugh!!"
Propping herself up with her arms, Cherise just goes right back to smiling. "I -am- bad luck."
Dan lets out a rumbly hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm as he nods, "Yes, yes! An execellent display. You seem to do good against your opponent can you block everything though, blocking is only one of the ways to fight, young student," From that same position he lets his hands do the wave motion that's become so familiar to everyone in the world when a hadouken is about to be let through, "CAN YOU DODGE THINGS AS WELL? I KNOW I CAN!"
As he launches his little putt putt fireball at Sada, his pink leather jacket makes pink leather jacket noises. That's kinda neat!

"Oh, are you?" Sada says, smiling sweetly down at the still-grounded --
GADOOOOUKEN
The ball of brutal fire, like some kind of terrifying pink-toned blow, strikes Sada's shoulder, her clothing tearing and rippling and finally giving the cameras the sight of some bra along with some vaguely over-exercised teenage girl arm. "Aaah," she cries out, saying as she stares in astonishment at Dan, "You - you -"
But. He's the teacher, and with visible effort, she suppresses the urge to shout. She stiffens, straightening upright and bowing deeply and rapidly, like a stabbing knife arm, to Dan. "Thank you for your lesson!" she shouts at the top of her lungs at Dan!
And then her attention goes down to Cherise, and so does her foot, raising up and jamming down to try and grind her heel into the temporarily-downed girl's solar plexus.

Sada 1/------=/=======|
'Can you dodge,' he screams. Though the downed French girl isn't the one that he's talking to, Cherise feels that it's nessicary to do what the man says, and squeeze in a few style points in the process. Sada's unable to comply, and the hesitation before the kick is all the time she needs. The smile on her face twists to the point of being a leer, and Cherise brings up her own leg-- stomping her own foot against Sada's and using it to push off against the smooth surface of the dojo's polished floor. Her wrist snaps, her arm straightens suddenly-- and her right hand's wire is cast off to the ceiling one more time.
Gripping the wire and using it as a sort of hand-brake, Cherise drives her heels into the floor and pulls herself up hand over hand while engaging in an arced 'run.' Back up on her feet, Cherise charges in and throws a mean palm-strike at Sada, and if it hits, there's more in store for her-- of the energy-based variety. Bolts of that odd energy burn out from her hands and feet as she goes, and not stopping there. A slicing strike at her thigh, a punch at the kidney, her hands going for boxing Sada's ears and shoving the odd power straight into her head-- and then a direct palm-strike at the girl's heart with one last mean burst.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Dan smiles at all of this, but then wipes his brow with the back of his hand and says, "Hooh-Boy, all this coaching is making me mighty parched. Mighty parched indeed. And don't you kids forget that when you're mighty parched...."
He raises a glass of chocolate milk from seemingly nowhere, "...To reach for the rich, chocolately goodness of Ovaltine. It's got vitamins ~and~ minerals. Can you say that about martial arts? OF COURSE YOU CAN BUT THEY AREN'T AS DELICIOUS!"
With that he guzzles the glass and gives a huge thumbs up with a thick milk moustache.

The rising strike of Cherise's powerful resurgence is a great threat indeed! But Sada's been dealing with this Evil Energy for a while - first that Miu girl, now this chick...! She knows it when she feels it, and she doesn't want any Evil Energy on her. "Hah!" she shouts as that first palm strike aims at her - and she ducks below it, twisting the kusari around...
She straightens up at the slicing feints, weaving away -- and then smiling widely all of a sudden. "Hey," she tells Cherise, "Look down!" And if she does, she will see a loop of chain just almost on her feet - not quite - wrapped around them, and which Sada suddenly pulls tight. This would, of course, be the best time to get away... If she can!
After that yank, Sada twists around and uses her shoulder as a pivot point, crouching with a cry and aiming to hurl Cherise's feet out from under her and whip her past Sada, off the ground, and into the dojo wall!

She's missing-- damn it!
Continuing along with the strikes, Cherise surprisingly does look down as Sada instructs-- and brings one leg back while the other is ensnared. Being dragged by the force of Sada's strength and the rotational forces involved with the powerful attack, Cherise seems to have a little more control than she lets on as she spins by Sada, staring at the girl with a smile.
The chain is no longer around her ankle, but she's carried by the force anyway-- and instead of being thrown like a sack of potatoes, she ends up backsliding on her heels all the way to the wall, hitting with a heavy thump and a grunt issued from the lean girl's frame.
The skin on her feet hurts, but she's long-since used to this sort of thing. Ten years of obscurity lends itself to training that some others may not get a chance to have-- or think about. Standing up from her crouch, Cherise puts her hands at the small of her back and straightens herself up a bit, letting a few bones pop in her spine. "My goodness," she says, "I could've gotten a concussion from that."
"But you know," she says, reaching up to her face, her fingers nearly touching her bright blue eyes. "Our weapons are not so dissimilar..."
Moving herself back in, trying to get well within the range of Sada's kusarigama, the French girl goes for a more acrobatic manuver-- cartwheeling herself onto the heels of her hands and letting her arms absorb some of the shock. Legs thrown up, she tries to ensnare Sada's neck and throw the girl straight onto her back-- and if she does, hold on and ride the momentum so she'll end up sitting on the chain-wielding girl.
"Hee hee."
Dan puts down his ovaltine glass and gets BACK INTO ACTION. "Now while you've got her on the lam, see if you can avoid my attack! The true measure of skill!"
With that Dan starts sailing in the air towards Cherise, swinging his feet in roundhouse motions while he moves through the air. One knee, one leg, one other leg. It's all good in the neighborhood when Dan Dan Kick comes over for dinner. "Y'SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

After the acrobatic tumble ends, suddenly the French girl is sitting on Sada and at close proximity. Leaned over her a little, the French girl digs her fingers into Sada's blouse and gets close, and close enough to make a very deliberate order: "Hurt. Me. More."
Dan wasn't what she was talking about, but then again, it's all good. His kicks crack across her face, and Cherise spirals off to the side, hitting the dojo floor with a heavy series of thumps as her body and legs strike, rolling an awkward path along the floor before coming to a face-down halt.
"... Hahaha... ha ha ha!!"
Getting up to her hands and knees, the wire assassin looks over her shoulder at the pair, blood seeping out of the left corner of her mouth-- did she bite her tongue or something? But even with that kick, and all the damage it did, the girl's expression has changed... there's no halfway to it, with the wide eyes and the smile nigh-crescent shaped.
"That ... was brilliant."
Standing up, smacking her short skirt back into a straight place, her eyes lock on Sada and watch her like a hawk. What's she going to do next? Where's she going to go? Those wide eyes capture all of the kusarigama-wielder's movements, like she were trying to see through her completely-- and figure out all of her secrets.

Sada seems displeased.
"Oh, so you're going to try to seize control, hmmmm?" she says, whipping the kusari down with a sudden snap of her wrist. Her nose is still wrinkling from that horrible /stench/ as she straightens up, looking at the bloody-lipped woman with thinly disguised loathing. "You want me to hurt you? You really - you're begging for it? You want me to hurt you, to make you bleed and suffer even more?!"
Sada feels a sudden moment of power, as she lets her own lips spread out into a sudden, shark-like grin... and she lowers the chain.
She takes a deep breath and lets it out, shivering as bleeding slows. "No," she answers, nonchalantly.

'You really want me to hurt you,' she asks. And rather than letting a nod drag on, she waits patiently for her to finish.
"Yes."
'No.'
"Fun-ruiner," she remarks in return, letting her tongue drag across her lower lip. Whipping her arm back, the lengthy amount of wire she's cast out from her right hand is suddenly animated, flaring up from the ground next to Sada and cutting a sharp arc out wide, far back. As her choppy bangs drift across her eyes, as her whole body settles into the motion, a single word crosses her lips:
"Break."
Whipping her arm forward, the air cracks as though she were using a whip, the wire launching forward while Cherise points-- a clear defiance of logic, yes, but it happens all the same. As the weight shoots out beyond Sada's head, the French girl taps the wire with the tip of a finger, sending a ripple down the length that causes it to arc in a manner that makes it look more alive than it really is. It tries to pass around her neck a few times, hovers for a moment before a violent tug on the silver-haired girl's end-- and tries to make it clamp down around Sada Asai's throat as if she were about to choke the life out of the Seijyun girl.

The wire tightens down and tries to very nearly dig into the girl's skin to a painful extent-- to literally choke her on the spot. Pulling the wire across her chest, pulling Sada off-balance, Cherise brings up her left hand and starts to pluck at the string with a hooked finger, sending bolts of silver energy screaming down the length of the wire and blasting the chain-wielding girl right in the face. One, two, three, four, one after the other. "Break!! Break!! BREAK!!" she screams on each successive pluck of the strings.
Five, six. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha~!"
Pulling -hard- on the string as she drops down to a crouch, it's intended to bring Sada to her knees before Cherise hooks her finger around the wire one last time, plucking on it with a little more force-- and sending a much more potent blast of the silver power down the wire and all the way to Sada. When this one strikes, it has enough force to knock her backwards.
With a few light snaps of her wrist and a well-practiced tug, the wire slips free of Sada's throat and lets her breathe again... but if she gets up, well, that's another story. The silvery line whistles joyfully before it settles in a broad arc across the dojo floor.
Cherise's arms wrap lightly around her stomach, as if she were giving herself a light little hug. "I like you," she finally announces.
"Ghk!" Sada says, her throat clogged - and her head feels suddenly tense, her neck screaming in agony. Part of her wonders with a certain detached horror if she's about to get her head cut off. She wonders, then, even further, if her severed head is going to land in such a way as to /see her body/. Would that happen? She thinks it might; the shock would be pretty immense, but -
Then it ends, and she can breathe, but the wave of force - she struggles to stagger up to her feet, staring at Cherise as she hugs herself, apparently proud in victory. Her vision's blurring at the edges, shading towards red -
"HYAAAAAAAH," Sada shouts, abandoning the kusarigama to lunge forwards, aiming to grasp at Cherise's head with both of her hands. And if she should connect -

Well, it would've been pretty awesome.
Ah, tsk-- she threw away her weapon. That's points minus in Cherise's book, casting away the most important part of your fighting style. Moving from the comfortable position she's taken for herself, the French girl very simply steps to her left and ducks herself away from Sada's oncoming rush-- but brings her left hand up into the air to try to snatch the Seijyun student's fingers and twist, as well as bend her hand in the wrong direction. The pressure wouldn't be enough to break bones, but it'll probably hurt for awhile afterward.
"Tch, non~ non~! You see, we are ... 'birds of a feather?' You use your chains and your little blade. I use what I use. If we throw away our livelyhood, what do we have? We have empty hands. Empty hands," she remarks, twisting at the girl's fingers a little harder, "I should say need to be more careful in the future."
Pushing Sada's hand away, Cherise snaps both her wrists hard, the silvery wire whipping around in the air as it reels back into her bracelets. Walking as it goes, until the weights hit the gold-colored rings with a *ting!*, Cherise adds another thing before she gets her socks, boots, and guitar. "Fight me harder next time, without silly men in silly jackets! I will show you a trick or two."
Waiting for a few moments for a reply-- if she replies-- she move on. Stretching out like a cat once she's off talking to the camera crews, it seems like Cherise Bouchard is done with the fight, off to play and sing to her heart's content even with a split lip and some soon-to-form bruises.
COMBATSYS: Cherise has left the fight here.
