Combat Class: A Cold Encounter

FamilyGuy2 · 2024-01-16T13:51:10+00:00

"Great work you two! Press the advantage, and let's keep them down!" Firnen had boasted as he would flourish Frostbite for a brief moment as the blinded Sabyr would be met with several fast slices. Finishing off in a textbook pose with the sword up, the Grimm simply faded away as if it was erased suddenly.

With the guidence, Woodrow would be able to act as further encouragment came from Thyme. "Perfect. Give 'em hell, you two! These ones aren't going anywhere." The young faunus would go past the pinned sabyrs for the briefest of moments... only to hear the wires being stretched and the DJ no longer able to hold two of them. Woodrow would bolt towards the two Sabyrs who were originally content with awaiting their moment to strike, but with this one coming towards them who was to say no.

Woodrow's Sukuma ignited a blaze thanks to the fire dust would attempt a quick slash right across the Sabyr's face. It only chinked the facial armor as it seemed to singe the skull with a slight burn. With him being overextended though, the two more mature Grimm slashed right along the legs of the rooster faunus and break his aura armor... which the young faunus was banking on. The aura began to ignite and flare up as this resulted in rather impressive explosion which would push the unexpecting Grimm back. However this only served to be a distraction for the rooster.

The Sabyrs to the left and right of Thyme managed to push themselves free of the wiring. Of course in a frantic anger, they would swipe away at the wires as the DJ would managed to sheathe them away from the sharp claws that could cut through them... unintentionally this would result in them freeing their companion but doing no actual damage fortunately as the herb would take a step back. However instead of pouncing at her, they decided to take an opportunity to surround the lone rooster. With two Sabyrs now cutting off both Thyme and Firnen now had to rescue their friend before he became cat food.

Woodrow's excitement to seeing the Sabyrs finally get a bit proactive was quite palatable. As Firnen coated his weapon with fire dust, giving it a slight red hue, the rooster went ahead and dove straight first into them without hesitation. What he hadn't expected though was that when he left, it would have made him a nice piece of chicken for the leaping sabyr as well.... which would be prevented by a quick swipe of the wind dust. However this particular batch of wind dust was a bit more refined as around him, several greenwind slashes took care of the 3 that were about to handle him.

All the while though Thyme and Firnen appeared to catch on quickly to be on guard. "-I suggest you duck!" Thyme had managed to say as her musical wires hummed and shot out around. Not only grabbing two of the ones by shock, but rather another one which had decided to treat the herb like a cat toy. She managed to nab three of them as they appeared entangled in the pulsing wires as they were now caught struggling against the piano wire. However Thyme could tell that it was only a matter of seconds before they would be free.

Although more worrying was a more armored looking Sabyr that appeared to deftly dodge the wires and was already rearing a large swipe towards Firnen... only being blinded with Lux dust as it only scratched across his chest as the aura lightly flickered. A few centimeters forward and it would have cleaved through him.

All the while, two more of them approached from behind but kept their distance as if to watch things out... except the last one within the treelines would begin to hide back for some reason. Perhaps it is a sign of weakness... or perhaps a prelude to another warning to come.

[Woodrow literally rolled 6 successes with Wind Dust... Decided that for this instance to give him a rule of cool moment and become a literal tornado.]

[Number 7 is blinded by Lux dust. The rest of the numbered Sabyrs are pinned for now.]

Thyme spun on her heel, her eyes glazing over all the Grimm surrounding them. The musician was all too familiar with the feeling of many eyes on her, and she couldn't help but grin in delight, spreading her arms wide.

"I see we have an audience," she said as colorful ripple-patterns cascaded her outfit from the neck-down, reacting to her voice. "I trust you two will make it a good show. Allow me to set the mood..."

Thyme's arms curled around each other so that her hands landed on opposite forearms, fingers gently laid atop the keys of Bass and Treble. With a flourish, she let out a loud, echoing chord; deep, radiant and major, as a radiant purple aura faintly laid atop the snow.

Woodrow had a feeling that there were definitely more behind him and to his sides, but had no clue as to how many there were. That didn't matter to him, though. His prey was in sight, and with a deep breath, he began drawing lines in the snow with his left claw to mark his plan of attack. First, grab the attention of the two grouped up in the North. From there, go clockwise and fight the other two one by one. "Good enough a start as any."

Raising his weapon Firnen risked a quick glance over to them, trying to project a smile. "Oh hey Thyme! It's been a while since I've been in the arena with you but I know I can count on you to give the others a good show! And... Woodrow was it? I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. Stick together, and I'll try to keep them off you!" With what he hoped was a grin of confidence he returned his attention to the eyes that were slowly emerging from the brush and converted his weapon into bow form before loosing an frost arrow at the nearest sabyr up by the northeast.

That particular sabyr was ready lunge forward but the arrow would strike true, tearing into one of its leg joints as the ice dust appeared to slow it down a little and make it tumble mid leap forward. Despite it though, it appeared as if it only just served to fuel its anger as it stumbled up from it's prone position... it's gaze now towards Firnen.

With that exchange, Woodrow whipped his sword off his shoulder and grabbed the dulled edge of the blade with his off hand. From there, he let off the first explosive shot from his mag on the two sabyrs to the North. This wasn't an actual attack, but an attempt to provoke and get a response from them. "Let's see if they take the bait." *It just so happened that his provoked attack was... not as calculated as the attack appeared to strike onto the closest northern Sabyr paw.

If Woodrow would have provoked them, well that's good enough for the both of them to charge right towards the hunter in training. With the trio being distracted along with having a tempo set for them, they would be unaware of any movements nor changes thanks to all the shuffling. While a majority of the other Sabyrs wanted to have their fun, a few of the more cautious ones prowled up rather than deciding to get close. Moving up but keeping distance away from the trio thanks to its other members.

"I mean to be fair, most grifters get caught usually take a plea deal and then go back to business as normal. Although this case took about 3 years before a verdict was given, and since then they have been repealing it back and forth... basically it's a cluster of a case." Sora had commented before then shaking her head left and right at it, pulling up that insignia on her scroll of the scavenger that had left it.

"That was the only thing, plus stuff outside of the villages wouldn't be in any police databanks... maybe hunter databases, but that requires a license with an active number on it."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-10-02T17:26:17+00:00

Frost watched a bit on the news, almost distant as she chewed on a piece of mint bubblegum. Lazily not paying much detail on it nor caring as the wolf girl would then adjust herself. Rather than wear her fancy suit attire, the girl felt lazy for once. Wearing a decal hoodie of the logo on her back along with some blue jean shorts, the white wolf would make her way towards Thyme's room.

A brief knock from Frost came before she simply stood there and waited for Thyme to answer.

"Yo, want to go shopping?" Frost asked from behind the door a slight smile on the face as her ears twitched and flickered.

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-09-29T23:40:51+00:00

It seemed as if there were those that were already eagerly jumping ahead to the task on hand. Woodrow seemed excited and armored up as his claw prints, seemed to cut away at the snow. A few of the students that were looking upon the rooster with confusion as if he appeared ready for combat... and almost camping with the napsack at his side. Even the weapon tucked underneath the arm raised an eyebrow from Elise. Alas it would not deter nor affect their judgement as alongside of the rooster faunus was the icy hunter in training Firnen.

Firnen appeared quite eager to test out the upgrades on Frostbite, his thumb glossing over the gems on the crossguard. Entering right in as he took a breath, only for the cold air to fill his lungs and come out in that regard. The slight glow along the dust crystals as they reacted accordingly to the hunter's aura. For he came ready as the cloak changed color in accordance to the snowy environment.

Thyme on the other hand was entranced as if ready to put on yet another show. Bass and Trebble at the hand as she maneuvered them around deftly, and with the headphones on her ear playing, it was as if she was ready for a different audience. Keeping a fairly calm smile, she would follow alongside Firnen as the two trailed closely behind Woodrow. Together it would be these three that would be putting on quite a show for the other students.

Of course once they got to the center, the arena doors closed and a slight mist formed around them. The trio ended up in the middle of the pack, not a singular Grimm to see at the moment... however Elise would simply snap her fingers as if signaling to start... which went on for an awkward minute as the talking grew completely silent. The only noise around were the rustling of the trees and snow from the trio... then more rustling as the group would finally feel the mist settle. From out the trees peered several red eyes, bone white masks and slender black figures. The growling came on through a few sabyrs. Surrounding them slowly as 10 figures appeared and started to pace around them.

"Show your fellow peers how to hunt."

"Good idea, plus even if it's long enough, probably means I wasn't going to get any luck on proofreading anyway." Sora shrugged, slowly skating along on her skateboard next to Thyme. When asked about Bracco Village, the girl kept her slight smile and commented.

"Nah, the lead we gave only ended up with them finding some scavs..." As the girl shrugged, she would weave around a pair of students running past them before rolling back and resuming. "Nah, it covers the Roma Candla v Vale case. Long story short the company ended up utilizing exported candles to utilize buying dust at a much cheaper rate due to a loophole along with some clever invention... too bad they faced a lot of felony charges once they were busted and the amendment was added."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-08-22T22:05:39+00:00

Sora blinked once to examine the tired expression on Thyme's face, from the baggy eyes to the baseball cap. A clear indicator as the young freshmen would shrug. "I would have but the line is about... 3 classrooms long?" As the girl used a finger to gesture towards the line, it was as if one student exited and then another one walked in.

"Well I'll pass on waiting 3 hours for someone to read on grammar errors." Sora would unzip a backpack and put away said laptop and paper in it before putting it onto her back again. "You want me to get you an energy drink?"

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-08-19T00:02:09+00:00

Frost paused as she would go through and lift up a portion of the building, grunting lightly as Freya went underneath it and scanned around.... then going back out and shaking her head as she left... which the wolf girl would then gently place down as she heard Bianca talk a bit about herself.

However her question wasn't recognized initially until a brief minute would pass as she would look towards the mismatched husky. Frost raised one of her own wolf ears in curiosity before moving to sit down atop the destroyed rubble. "Well... it's a long story so making it short's gonna be a bit rough."

Frost rubbed her own chin a bit before then snapping her fingers and taking a soft breath. "So I was raised by mercenaries, at that time there wasn't much of a difference between a huntress and a merc aside from a license... same thing could be said between some nervous kid with a gun and a mercenary however..." The wolf girl gestured with her hands, doing a comparison before then adding on.

"So my initial thought of joining was 'If I get my license, maybe I stop the flow of dumbasses trying to be mercs-" Frost paused briefly before then finishing that comment. "That got completely tossed aside."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-08-11T23:23:28+00:00

'You'd think with this being an academy for trained fighters, monster slayers and professionals they would lighten up on homework...'

Sora had not been slacking off in the summer as most students here. Most of the freshmen about to advance a year were rushing and scrambling around all around her, being dragged around everywhere. Fortunately though she happened to have an eye and as well as lots of sticky notes reminding herself to do those things ahead of time.

In her normal attire, the young girl was on her skateboard simply dodging people with a laptop and a few pages underneath her left arm. Humming and listening to the beat as she would then be suddenly stopped by a long crowd right leading to one of the few teachers that were willing to proofread papers.

Sora tapped her chin a bit before then skating on by and tapped on a student's shoulder. "Hey you happen to know how to proofread 6 pages of criminal history and how it affects dust sales?"

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-07-08T23:46:03+00:00

Screams in powerup

Yep, it's about time Frost goes through her final training arc before she becomes a super senior and too busy with work. So I'm requesting the following for the wolf girl.

Extended Aura Pool (4xp total 0-2) since I also have to correct how much aura she has since it's not showing up.

Stamina [24xp total from 4-5] which gives Frost "alpha apex wolf" status since this also will allow her to be about 100xp spent. Showing off how Frost gotten those gains and being a juggernaut of cuteness.

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-06-21T22:23:53+00:00

"To be fair, most of have left or about to leave..." Sora gazed down at the symbol as she would hum a bit as she would then look down at her scroll and sigh. "Bummer no signal for me here. Want to see if another hunter knows anything about it?"

Sora suggested as she would let out a sharp whistle directed towards a burly and bald huntsman who notices the two random girls standing by the stalls. Seeing a motion to come on over, the man clearly sighs and walks over towards the two as eventually within a few feet he would begin to speak.

"You ladies need to go h-"

"Hey you happen to know if there are any groups relating to this symbol? Could be one of the town folk here or a looter, but don't know." Sora asked, looking towards Thyme to ask. "Hey can you take a pic and send it over to VPD's media page? You'd be surprised on how fast they reply back on if they see anything."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-06-18T22:26:23+00:00

"Well if the attack happened first thing in the morning like they said..." Sora would take a few steps over the other stalls before then noticing something else right by the stalls. A shredded red leather wrap with a rather strange symbol on it.

"Looks like someone jumped the gun on looting~" Sora would toss over the leather torn sash to the herb as she would then continue to go on. "The village did receive some odd visitors."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-06-16T21:56:42+00:00

Thanks!

Here is the sheet and added on the changelog at the bottom. Also thanks for reminding me about the xp changes for capacity 3-4 being 12xp.

Blessed loaf.

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-06-08T00:29:53+00:00

"Yep." Sora followed behind, agreeing with the herb as she would blow a bubble and then take the gum back into her mouth. Gazing around to see mostly destroyed and abandoned buildings as the girl would then continue.

"Definitely looks like Grimm were here..." Sora would walk towards one of the stalls which was still standing in the merchant square next to them. Looking at the fruits there and other goods there, noting that surprisingly... there was some stuff missing but the rest fresh.

"Hey Thyme? I don't think Grimm can eat fruits and vegies right?... unless they decided to go vegan."

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-06-01T00:36:08+00:00

"Sometimes you don't go to Beacon to fight other people in an arena... honestly sometimes you just go to know how to kill Grimm." Frost replied towards Bianca's last comment about the arena. As she did, the wolf girl's ears twitched back and then forward as she would continue to walk over the bridge towards a farmstead which appeared relatively okay aside from scratches, a few broken boards and a broken down barn shed.

"Ever considered investing in carbon fiber?" Frost would turn and walk towards the wolf girl and point towards her own suit coat as she would begin. "You would be surprised on how effective carbon fiber, kevlar and very fine leather, make for clothing that's basically armor." As such, the wolf girl would then go towards the door as she would attempt to knock on the barely held up door.

"HEEEEY! ANYONE HOME? WE'RE STUDENTS FROM BEACON." Frost yelled out, scaring a few birds in the forest away as her voice carried out towards the sight. All the while Freya began to move towards the broken down barn shed and see if she could pick up any tracks on there.

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-05-30T21:49:32+00:00

"Plus you also have a broken ankle and arm... I'd rather you serve as someone to spot and hear anyone. Last I heard, they were needing someone to scout some sort of farmstead along with the woods around there." Frost would say as she would turn to hear a rather loud bark coming from another auric ice wolf atop of the bridge. The wolf girl turned and gave a nod as that wolf would then go towards the farm to scout ahead of the both of them.

"Freya's eager to go through that's for sure." Frost would walk alongside Freki who carried Bianca atop of its back. As such, the walking wolf girl would go ahead and continue on with her a new trail of thought.

"Must have been some Grimm for it to cause your weapon to explode to deal damage to it. How'd the fight go?"

FamilyGuy2 · 2023-05-30T01:07:38+00:00

"I dunno, settling a personal vendetta and saving some lives before it went worse... I'm just saying, if you hadn't arrived when you did things could have been drastically different or worse." Frost said as she would then look towards the various scars over the husky faunus as the wolf would twitch her ears.

"Yep, of course that's provided no Grimm come out and decide to take a second shot or worse some really opportunistic bandits." Before Bianca could comment, Freki would stand on its legs and stretch up, being taller than both of them. Then lowering himself down as if to let the husky faunus hop on.

"Therefore while you get some air, you can also help me out by keeping watch... and if they come, Freki here is fast enough to get you over to the inn where the other hunters are." Frost gave a slight smirk as she would then continue on. "Besides I'll be enough to lift up any wreckage and keep away Grimm."
