CHARACTERS: Peridot, Pearl, and OPEN!

DATE: After Oska-sim, before the Team-Bonding tasks event

WARNINGS: Robotic dismemberment, maybe.

SUMMARY: Robot fights??? Robot fights.

• BEFORE THE FIGHT •

[Now that Oska has been "fixed"… it's about time to mess it up again. At least in a contained way that doesn't involve any "false realities." Two large, pilot-able robots stand opposite each other in a large ring, circled off with linked rope and poles.

One robot is a bright green color, diamond shaped with claw-like hands, and shorter than the other robot. The second robot is tall, smoother looking, with longer "legs" and pastel colored.

Both are unoccupied… for now, but outside of the ring is a crudely, and almost lazily painted sign with the words:
]

BUY TICKETS HERE

[…Someone's selling tickets to this??

Maybe someone else is nearby who can answer some questions… Or maybe also has no idea what's about to happen, but hey, feel free to look around anyway.
]

THE FIGHT

[A. - Closed to Peridot and Pearl]

[Now that the tickets have been sold, both Gems arrive at the arena.

After inspecting the area marked for their fight, and then inspecting her own robot to make sure Pearl hadn't tried to CHEAT while she was away, Peridot climbs into her own robot, testing the controls. It works just as well as it did when she first assembled it, so everything seems fine. As Pearl climbs into her own robot, Peridot calls out a taunt.
]

I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO PRACTICE BOWING AGAIN, RENEGADE SCUM!!

[B. - Open To All]

[Oh, so that's why those giant robots were there. An old fashioned showdown, This Town Isn't Big Enough For The Both Of Us-style... But no guns and quick drawing, and with robots instead? Seems like it. Feel free to watch, and maybe wind up dodging some torn up dirt as the fight processes.]

Oh, you came back.

[And he plays it off totally straight, as if he didn't even notice anything out of the ordinary.]

Guilty conscience?
headlining: (needs his own theme music)

What are you talking about? I didn't come back, I was trying to-!

[He cuts himself off with a frustrated noise, moving forward again. Maybe it was a fluke of some sort. He was walking forward, past this jack-o-lantern of a skeleton, and-]

[He's right back where he started.]


What the-! Hold on, this can't be right!

[You know how NPCs preventing you from going into an area you aren't allowed to access for one reason or another tend to only have one line of dialogue?]

Oh, you came back. Guilty conscience?

[Except he's not doing that. He's just repeating himself intentionally to be a dick.]
