Description: Naerose and Eiserne meet up in what can only be a Neaoleague bout! But what will happen when these two rather unusual individuals collide? Hopefully they don't explode into mini's. Winner: Naerose
Overcast skies with the threat of rain actually make the underside of the Metro Bridge an attractive arena for the advertised match. The concrete barriers and furniture have been shifted some to make room for the two ladies to duke it out while the usual inhabitants of the area are out in force. Regular fight fans are conspicuously absent, the rowdy and tattooed spectators at this particular starting their own small brawls over their favoured fighter for this match and a little betting on the side.
Eiserne fits right in with the thugs. Her over the top Cirque du Solei outfit hardly clashes at all amidst the other brightly coloured gang colours and she finds all the gang folk to be rather well behaved and their language colourful. A couple of the brawls earlier when the crew had begun to set up had been over her or indirectly caused by her favouring hanging out with guys form one gang over another but right now she is having a blast and laughing shrilly right alongside everyone else and trying to fit in, which seems to be working.
The Masters Corporation SNF team are still labouring to get some decent lighting going up and Eiserne is yet to catch sight of her opponent but its like a party atmosphere going on down here, she'll run into them soon enough.
The Red witch, Naerose Delphine does not fit in anywhere, except perhaps a out of this world witches convention, the likes of which have never existed before. Certainly not now. Her very presence is the sort of thing people have a hard time not noticing. Is it her reputation preceding her for being well.. Naerose, or just the way she's dressed. None the less, she doesn't fit in, and doesn't try. She's been hard at work, this entire time, trying to get all of the posters fixed, or added. The works she's been putting up, in red Crayon, reads:
"Naeo League Mini".
She's gotten the posters up already and is now in a relatively clear area under the bridge, perhaps because she's.. well, there, or perhaps because it was cleared for this event. Who knows.
As distinctive as her opponent is supposed to be Eiserne takes no notice, its only when some of the the small retinue of thugs begin to note the appearance of the Red witch that Eiserne takes notice. Not long now. She smiles ear to ear and hops down off one of the larger thugs shoulders by jumping from shoulder to shoulder and then along the top of a concrete barrier. Closing in on her prey she jumps across onto one of the SNF lighting rigs and sits on top of one of the horizontal bar, a few elements of the light shudder under her weight and the staff watching over it immediately protest.
Eiserne shrugs them all off and hangs upside down form the lighting rig less than a foot form Naerose watching what she is doing to the posters so prominently displayed, she gives it a lot of thought as she watches without comment and hanging upside down as could be perfectly natural. She does however take a liking to the Red Witches hat now she is this close to it, such a pretty red colour and the fact its kind of pointy and a fun shape, eiserne gives the tip a flick, more to play with than to get the other girls attention, well almost. If there were an inkwell about and Naerose had pigtails...
After a while.. Naerose notices, turns to face Eiserne, takes a moment then her shades flash (it's actually because she turned her head and the light caught them, but it could be with recognition. One might ask why she is wearing black shades here at this time, but then there are probably better questions to ask Naerose if you actually believed she would answer any of them.
"Oh hi," she says, not too bothered about getting her hat tip flicked, "You must be here to help. So here is the dig, this fellow named Ken Masters is trying to make the Naeo League Mini named something else, so you have to help me properly fix the name, okay?"
Her smile is like, she clearly seems to, well looks like she believe what she is saying..
Eiserne mouths the name "N-ae-o lea-g-ue mi-ni" with the careful emphasis of someone whose first language is not English. The look of concentration on her face is not feigned and her study of the posters does indeed find the more chaotic and uniquely changed posters to be more appealing. "Hrmmmm" She does absently lament she cant simply tear or cut the posters to make them read that way, subtracting from something was easy adding a letter would require planning or forethought and loses some of its appeal.
Eiserne does enjoy the game of messing with the posters however and drops down from the lighting rig in a sprightly manner, Eiserne does however note the Masters staff with another wave of posters ready nearby, probably in response to Naerose's tinkering and she snarls at them, a low rumbling growl that sneds them scuttling away apologetically. Eiserne smiles and then winks at Naerose, she might not be interested in messing with posters but she did just help in her own way. Eisernes attention span is beginning to wane however so she takes a seat and begins to dig in her ear with a finger seemingly attention drifting between Naerose, spectators, staff and the music and cars passing by overhead.
The SNF staff issue the 5 minute warning, the fighting event will begin momentarily and the party atmosphere intensifies and excitement works its way through the crowds. The drinking gets heavier, the fights louder and the cheering for their favoured fighter begins.
Probably the same people do staff all of these events, they certainly know who Naerose is. Not because she's a famous fighter of great fame, but rather a fighter of great headache. Not that they care once the fight starts.. Usually, it becomes a problem for someone else, not her.
"I suppose we're supposed to do something here, what was it, what could it be.." Is she pretending? It is hard to say. The Red Witch looks overly thoughtful, plays with a poster and then says, "Put up posters.. and.." She knots her brows together over the top of her shades.
COMBATSYS: Naerose has started a fight here on the right meter side.

Naerose 0/-------/-------|
Eisernes biases become apparent with a cheering crowd calling for her and Naerose she hops back up to her feet, and spreads her arms in a low performers bow before tumbling through a few steps of a routine, she easily walks on her hands. She was here to fight someone strong right? A one armed handstand with her arms and legs artfully arranged she then slowly turns her body back and forth in a display of physical prowess. Eiserne is rather fond of the red witch, she seems familiar and maybe even safe, perhaps crazy on some levels she can recognise and feel comfortable with. But Eiserne is here to fight as well, her cheerfulness and the ferocity of her performance keeps intensifying and as the promised moment of the fight beginning approaches. Her grin is near splitting her face in two and the final warning sounds. Eiserne slows down to a crawl and the soles of her boots make contact with the ground, her upper body slowly leveraged form the ground back into a standing position. Blades suddenly in hands she quickly unwinds a few feet of corded material and rags form her outfit, revealing a little more of Eiserne to much whistling and applauses but also spinning the small sharp blades around in a quick whirring circle. "Ah! This'll be FUN.!" She does give one of the crods a flick and carves a small nick out of the mortar just a few feet away form Naerose. Reach is good, and the blade still sharp as ever, Eiserne is ready!
Oh right, a fight,
"Well, I guess we should like get this going then, yep. " She grins at Eiserne, her red painted lips pulled -wide- into a grin as she flicks her fingers in a beckoning motion.
Holding up her broom she gets in something of a ready position, drawing one foot back slowly on the toe, heel digging in a little before she adjusts her shades up her nose a little bit.
"You can start." She offers, her posture looking like she's really quite relaxed, but it is hard to tell, considering how generally she looks this way anyway. It's hard to tell when she's comfortable with or around someone, or how she even sees the world. . . Apparently through a pair of black colored shades, "Cause it's totally neat that you're with me on the poster fixing thing."

The grin on Eisernes face is positively maniacal, this is the best! The very best! She tests the weight of the dart in her hand judges distance without even knowing she does it purposefully. She curls her arm to throw a slight curve ball, the dart and trailing cord trying aiming to pass between Naerose and her broom and wrap the wooden handle with enough material for her to yank the red witch off her feet. "Eh-heh!" its a contest of speed and power between Eiserne, the witch must be strong like her other opponents but she still seems to be displaying a playful demeanour rather than outright attack.

Eiserne 0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0 Naerose
That is a weird attack, Naerose doesn't know what to do with it, her broom handle is grabbed and she decides her best bet is just rolling with it as best she can, after all, the other option is well, more pain, hitting the ground hard rather than soft. So when she gets up, she's used to the idea that well, this person is fast.
"Hey, that was way fast." She comments, then strokes her jaw and seems to try to decide what to do. She decides.. Adjust her shades, grin. . Watch Eiserne. Otherwise she doesn't move, yet.

Eiserne does feel a little bad at her core, like she just knocked over something deliberately and she's going to get in trouble or another beating. But the crowd! The crowd drives her on with intensity and the thrill of the fight. Its all she can do to not try letting blood, would she even see that blood on that red outfit? The idea tantalizes but is lost in the rising excitement and madness. "I know right!" the grin ups in wattage and lips pull back exposing more teeth even if the smile is still a little pleasant "Lets play more and more!" She drops into a crouch and flicks the second cord with her wrist even as she yanks the other back and catches it, this dart bounces off the ground and cracks like a whip, deflecting the sharp blade of the dart form a stab into more of a swipe and the snap of the whipped cord.

Eiserne 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Naerose
Seeing the cord come, and it's fast and it's going to hurt, Naerose isn't sure how, but she's sure it will, or might, so she uses her broom, redirecting herself with the broom stick on the ground to throw herself toward her opponent.
"Okay, I think I have an idea how this is going to go," Naerose says and holds out her free hand while vaulting toward Eiserne, "A really sweet move though," She compliments before exploding out a white blast of energy with an exclamation of
"En Criento!"
The blast has no range and it leaves the witch basically just standing there, with a goofy grin on her face. "Oh man, I feel like we totally get each other, we should form a team of cafe raiders."

The look on Eisernes face prior to the blast is definitely one of 'What is she saying?' but rolling backwards through a few tumbles to come to a stop upside down and peering back at the witch from between her ankles Eiserne blinks not trusting her eyes. It hadn't been a punch, it hurt a little but she cant work out what just happened.. and that confusion begins to fester deep inside stirring something akin to irritation that begins to fester.
Eiserne slowly climbs back to her feet and tests her body, no bullet holes or anything. Something weird just happened and she cant help but give herself a once over pulling at her top and peeking inside and twisting to the side to look at her own buttocks generally surprised that something hurt but she cant work out what did it.
Eiserne cockes her head to the side and studies the witch, she did something. Eiserne is fascinated now but that smile is crooked now "That hurt." she almost complains she is definately 'playing' much more seriously now, the aura of fun is thinning, it wont be a fun game until she rebalances it by hurting the little witch back. But that’s part of the game.. its not fun to be losing it.

Well, that worked better than Naerose could have hoped. She considers Eiserne while she is herself.. considered. Dun dun dun. "So ahh.. " Naerose begins and then scratches her head, "I guess, you're waiting for me to make a move? The Red witch lifts her broom and says, "Okay, well, here I come! And she charges in, making a rather unimpressive flurry of her broom before exclaiming, "You didn't think I Could follow up such a neat show of neatness with more neatness of that level did you?" She asks, while trying to more or less just poke Eiserne with the stick end of her broom. She's grinning though, even if it does end up leaving her with a faceful of fist.

Eiserne 0/-------/---====|=======\-------\0 Naerose
Eiserne watches the red witch carefully but when it doesn't happen again and ther opponent lunges in with a recognisable type of attack Eiserne seems to sag down towards the ground right in Naeroses path but then vanishes straight up with a very high jump, Those paying attention note the soft earthy smack of both of her darts and the long cords of material sinking into the ground before she launches into the air but as the crazily dressed woman sails up and over the very tip of Naeroses pointy red hat she yanks back hard on the corded material turning her graceful overhead arc into a descending flying kick.
Eiserne lands on Naerose though not heavily so since she is very light and drives the witch face forward to the ground and surfs along on her back like a pointy surfboard for just a few feet before momentum arrests and Eiserne staggers forward a few steps and off of her opponent. She is smiling a little triumphantly, back in the game! "Aha--aha ha HA, that was fun!" she kneels down on her haunches and taunts the little broom handle prow of her surfboard "Lets keep going!"
Huff huff, "Good one." Naerose finally says, but that's only after only after she goes through the air, gets landed on.. and has to pick herself up. "Pretty good!" Naerose says, giving her encouragement and then trying to poke interrupt the next attack, well whatever it is, but making a kick at Eiserne's shin. It's sort of one of those.. insanity moves. The last time she gave Eiserne something she could get a hold on, she got a hold on it, who is to say the same thing won't happen again?
Naerose is a fun opponent, she's colourful, She's cheerful and she's Aerodynamic. Eiserne cant help but like the other woman and the new found joy of fighting her really brings that out in her. The faintly twisted aspect to her smile begins to recede as they face off on an equal footing and as she quickly jerks both long looped cords and darts back into her waiting palms. Eiserne keeps in close quarters with the witch, with does neither of them any favours with no room to swing a cat (or broomstick) or for Eiserne to slash with those corded darts of hers. Eiserne stabs out at the witch with a knee for the first time realising how much fun she is actually having. Her eyes are happily arched positively bursting with vitality though thin beads of sweat are beginning to form and roll down her brow.

Naerose uses her broom for -everything- in this case, she usess it to catch a knee and try to deflect it from hitting her head on. It glances off to one side of her hip and frankly, still hurts a bit, but lets not worry about things that hurt a little bit and talking about other things. Naerose, decides this is the time to make a move, a real turn, a literal turn, she tries to grab her rather fun opponent and give her a little tose with a pivot of her shoulders, meanwhile one hand, free of the fighter is pulling a hair thin silver thread from her broom bristles and tries to snare Eiserne with it. If she succeeds she'll send of shocking jolt of chi through it.
"I can mess with stringy things too!" she exclaims.

The air reeks of ozone and the faint smell of something burned as Eiserne lands on the ground. The crowd alternates between awe at the attack and shouting for the fighter to get up. But it doesn't happen for a moment, she stays down and she she does stir and slowly begin to rise its much more ominiou, slow deliberate movements that speak of either rage or being hurt. As the girl finally stands levelly and wheels about to face the witch there is no longer any trace of amusement, fun or anything left in her. Its like a tag team switch has been made and this new girl is by no means friendly.
Flat, gloomy and inexpressive eyes regard Naerose like a bug, one she wants to crush but not enough to expend a lot of effort. The punks are cheering because they've seen this all before on televison, the girl is close to snapping and there are definitely some nervous glances going around the arena. Eiserne leans forward, her arms just hang at her side and she watches the witch and practically oozes tightly controlled blood-lust from every pore.
So this is an interesting switch, the person she was going against seems to be someone else now. The witch, having to pick herself up so to speak is considering the implications of this for a moment, or seems to be anyway. What the gears in her head are doing when they work is not the sort of thing that very many would want to explore. Certainly not sane people anyway. She frowns a little and then shrugs, it is what it is one might think and the witch goes on to her next action, "Wow, that was fast." She comments and adjusts her shades, "you like. " She frowns again. "Oh nevermind, maybe I can slow things down a little," She goes for a light touch with her foot to Eiserne's shin. "You seem different or something," She comments.

Eiserne 1/-----==/=======|=======\==-----\1 Naerose
Eiseres eyes widen a little, the witch picks up on the changeover (along with just about everyone else) but this is also something new. People are usually much harsher or nastier than this when Eiserne comes out. She leans into the light kick, forearm braced between the side of her vulnerable head and the neck craning in closer to Naerose "I'm beginning to like you." The other woman wasn't weak but she also didn't threaten or call names, Eiserne appreciated that far more than the attack. Without warning though she rolls her head to the side and smiles widely, "lets play a game!" muscles in her arms creak as they tighten and she swings, a fast jab at naerose but slightly off target, then another and another. Eiserne contorts her body rolling she shoulders and twisting her waist to throw strange punches from wierd angles "Aha AHA ahaha, move faster, block faster!"

Eiserne 1/-======/=======|=======\====---\1 Naerose
"Huh huh? A game? Like Parcheese? Parcheesie? I'm not sure if I know how to.." But then she's being attacked, Naerose yelps! Then she holds out her hand making a white flash of light appear, which would be blinding to anyone who isn't wearing say dark shades. Anyway, the Red Witch seems to succeed, even as she manages to get punched a couple of times. Though in the blinding flash that ensues, Naerose, unblind, does a full on swing of her broom, striking Eiserne pretty hard.
"Oh man, you totally startled me with your attack!" Naerose exclaims, looking frankly shocked. Shocked! That someone would attack her out of the blue like that.
That light again, Eiserne reels backwards and totters away from the hit but soon enough she anchors her feet back down and her upper torso levers her dangling arms and head back into an upright position. Though her arms hang at her sides her eyes watch Naerose from behind a few loose tendrils of hair her pigtails drooping a little either side of her head hinting at her flagging energy levels. But those eyes gleam brightly, Eiserne is having fun, what kind of power is that? Why does it hurt so much? Her smile twists itself wider and wider in small jumps and slowly curling away lips to reveal a toothfilled grin "This is the best." She starts walking forward again, arms spread almost like she is inviting the next hit. A fun game to play with a friend.

Holding her hands out and trying to back away, oh man, these things are not going well. The Witch seems to be used to the fast attacks of her opponent, so she really wants to avoid what she seems to think is coming. "Oh man," she complains and holds her hands out, charging both of them with swirling white energies.
"White star fire that streaks across the sky, collect in my hands and lend me your power," The witch thrusts her hands together, sending the balls of energy toward Eiserne like a torrent.
"En Criento En!"

Eiserne doesn't even attempt to move out of the way, walking forwards right into the blast radius and bringing her hands around to shelter her face only when the light seems to much. As light completely obscures the girl from view there is just a moment where her eye crinkles amusedly at the light form the shelter and shade of her raised forearm and then she is gone. Eiserne sails backwards and rolls across the ground to a stop, long strips of the rags wound about her body to form the cords unravelled and pooled around her like a mummies bandages, dozens of feet that surely had not been caused just by the impact of the blast, face pressed to the earth Eiserne is still looking at her opponent but then her eyes flick straight up to the air above the witches head, a silvery rain of knives and kunai darts all descending down in a cloud around the witch, the deliberate act has almost the hallmarks of a friendly warning.

Raising her broom, trying to block as many of the knives as she possibly can. It hurts a lot despite her efforts, but eventually it stops and she lowers her broom, letting out a sigh of relief.

Eiserne doesn't even attempt to disguise the anger and she is experiencing but despite straining herself she cannot raise herself back to her feet, The crowd is cheering and more than a few people are peering over their glasses trying to get a better look at the now much less conservatively dressed woman. The fight staff call the event over as Eiserne fails to get back up and with that done the wind immediately drops from her sails and she slumps down into a kneeling posture and the serious look on her face fades away to become more open and expressive.
Eiserne is suddenly hit by the full weither of the injuries their combined selves has taken and she wraps her arms around herself against the pain. She hurts all over and she doesn't know quite why but it isnt the first time it's happened. One of the Npd staffers wraps a blanket around her shoulders but Eiserne has already picked out Naerose once again and she flashes a friendly smile, “lets play again.” maybe tomorrow, and the next day and the next. Eiserne had had some fun playing with Naerose, and seen some things she had never seen before. Maybe she was a real witch and those had been spells?
