[It's the end of the world as we know it, and Equius has a question. No, it has nothing to do with this Christmas nonsense, though Nepeta has already probably decorated the house and Black and Blue in festive Perigree's Eve and Christmas decorations to the point where he's a little nauseated but refraining from saying anything. What the travelers do to take their minds off the coming war so that they are rested and mentally prepared is their business.

No, this is an important question. One important enough to take time out of everyone's busy holiday schedule and discuss it right here and now. He wants answers, and so he's seated and brandishing a corn dog in one hand, an extremely serious look on his face.]

I would ask, humans, as this is purported to be a confection of your crafting, what the purpose of the naming conventions related to this object are. [He takes a bite, chews half as much as he should and swallows.] It is not that I find them distasteful. They are, to date, one of your better culinary creations to my think-pan. I do not, however, understand why you would call such a thing a ... what is it? Corn Dog.

This is not bark-beast meat. I have eaten bark-beast meat. It is much gamier than this. [Another bite. At least he isn't speaking with his mouth full.] And it is not what your species refers to as corn or maize. I think, perhaps, the meal used to create the breading is ground up from corn, but why not include the husk? It's perfectly good fiber.

And why would you fry a french man, and what does it have to do with potatoes? ... Thank you for your time.

[Inquiring minds want to know.]

You are unaware of our procreative measures. However, I believe that this qualifies as what the humans refer to as the 'throwing of a gauntlet,' yes? What do you say...

The Arena, a half hour? I will wear what they call boxing gloves so I do not break your bones?

[He's exaggerating a little.]

That strong, are you?

[He smile is a little to happy to be considered sane.]

Okay! See you there!

...

[Oh glob. That look. He was sweating a little. Ok, keep it together Equius.]

We will address a couple stipulations when we meet, I think. I will see you soon.

[Don't worry, his battle craze is one hundred percent platonic.]

Sure. See ya!

[Action]

[By the time Equius arrives, Mikazuki will probably already be there. He lives in Thor, after all.]

Edited 2013-12-20 18:55 (UTC)

[He's putting on his gloves as he comes into the ring. He can see the thor colors on the bracelet. There's actually a distinct possibility this boy is stronger than him, but that doesn't slow him. He is built like a body-builder and not prone to holding back one way or another, even if he's lost some of his 'breaks bows by pulling their strings' level strength in this world.

Tapping them together, he nods towards Mikazuki.]

First. This is purely platonic, yes?

[Mikazuki is of average height and build. He’s stronger compared to other humans, practices martial arts and is very good at beating people up - but his Asgard power is still at level one and he’s just as good at getting beaten up.

When he realizes just how big Equius is, his face breaks into a grin full of canines. Out of all the people he picked fight with this week, this one may be the biggest challenge and he’s a-okay with that! The stronger the opponent is, the better.

Platonic, though… what can he possibly mean by that? Mikazuki’s brow furrows in confusion as he tries to make sense of the question.

Wait. Does he mean - seriously?

He laughs.]

Dude, I’m not making advances at you. This fight is one hundred percent platonic!

[Did he really just have to say that? Whatever this guy is, they must have interesting lives.]

[He nodded and tapped his gloves together again once.] Good. There have been misunderstandings due to cultural differences in the past. Very well then, until one of us says yield. Please do not allow long-term injury.

[And with that, he stepped up closer, rotating his arm once before the first punch was sent forward. If this man was in Thor, Equius was going to forego love taps or light strikes. He was either fast enough to dodge more attacks than most or strong enough to take it. Equius wasn't going to be holding back.]

[He nodded, pleased. It's a good thing Equius had no intetion of holding back - Mikazuki would be offended if anyone went easy on him!

He quickly stepped to the side and ducked to avoid the punch. Then, he twisted around, sending a power filled high kick.]

[High, high he could avoid, though it was a damned narrow thing and he could practically count the treads on Mikazuki's shoe when it came up. He growled in mild excitement, stepping back and then forward. He kept his stance fairly solid, going for quick jabs to the torso for the moment. They were testing each other for now, getting a feel for each other's defenses, but this little dance would get rough very soon.

The human's reactions were definitely solid.]

[Mikazuki was dodging, jumping around a bit more than necessary, grinning to reveal his unsually sharp teeth. One jab hit him as a glancing blow and he fell back with a grunt. He didn’t try to regain his footing. Instead, he let the momentum carry him and dropped low, spinning in a sweeping kick aimed at Equius’s feet.]

[The strange, almost animalistic style of fighting briefly caught Equius by surprise. As the low, sweeping kick lashed out, he dropped to the ground and rolled to spring up, brushing at his face while grinning and showing off all manner of snaggled yellow fangs.]

YOu are not human, are you?

[Mikazuki was laughing - a chuckle threatening to become a full blown cartoon villain cackle. People called him “crazy” and “battle demon” before, but right out asking if he wasn’t human? That was a new one and he loved it!]

Hihi. Hyahaha. Now what makes you say that?

[He charged again without waiting for an answer. They can continue the conversation in a fight.]

Your fangs. I know no humans with them.

[He countered, putting his arms up to block the next strike and then power straight through. He figured that he could take at least a couple of blows even from one augmented by Thor as long as he hadn't reached the second tier yet. It was the best time to test that theory, particularly as letting him in close would give a chance at a much cleaner kidney shot with his fist.]

Well, now you've met!

[Really, his teeth were just amazing like that.

The first few blows put them on equal ground, but Mikazuki was pretty sure he can gain the advantage if he gets this one more punch...

Unfortunately, a jab to the kidney put an end to that plan. He doubled over and tried to back away. His face twisted with pain but the smile wasn't gone - if anything, it was wider.]

Hahaha ow. Wow it hurts! You sure know how to aim...!

[He started laughing.]

I've fought humans before. You learn your anatomy quickly, and the giants are similar. [He growled low while he watched the fanged human, fists still up and ready. The surmising of his opponent was right. Without his enhanced strength, Equius couldn't keep the fight up forever. However, without the advancements of much higher tiers, Mikazuki's durability wasn't what it could be. A few well placed blows would really make this a difficult fight.

He moved in while the other was still recovering. Rather than going for the kidneys again, he aimed high with his fist. It was a feint, one that would let him try and sweep with his leg. He meant to bring him to the ground so he could hammer down with full force.]

[Feints, feints he could see through, so he wasn't fooled. Problem was his side still was killing him - these kidney blows are nasty, he should try it some time - so he didn't manage to avoid the sweep completely.

Mikazuki didn't fall, but he was thrown of balance. He tried to grab Equius wrist - maybe he can balance himself while throwing him off...]

[An excellent way to end up in a grapple with a sweaty, very sweaty man-troll falling on top of you and starting to go for body shots while wailing on you. There's not a shred of elegance to it, but under the circumstances, elegance was sort of lost on Equius. Just look at those snarling yellow teeth.

You've got a great view.]

[And Equius has a great view to a smile full of canines. The human who owns it seems absolutely thrilled about the whole thing. The more you hit him, the more he laughs. He keeps it up even when it's clear the mere act of chuckling is hurting him.]

Ahahaha ow you look so angry! This is great!

[Mikazuki is putting up one hell of a fight, going for a jab every time he sees an opening. He tries to kick Equius off him with powered shoves and kicks.]

[The powered shove dislodges him and he rolls, getting to his feet. It's not precisely shaky, but he's definitely and obviously feeling the blows. There's a good chance at least one of his bones is bruised at this point, and normally that'd be a good sign that he needed to call the fight for both their sake, but he wasn't exactly built that way.

Rearing his arm back, he lunged forward, trying to land a heavy, solid hammer-blow and knock that laughing smirk off of his face. With the way they were going at it, he probably wasn't good for much longer.]

[Mikazuki is pretty roughed up, too. He can still feel sharp pain in the kidney area and it's probably not a good sign. Come to think of it, wasn't it illegal in boxing or something? Not that he cares if it's legal or not, he admires the precision anyway, but he has to wonder if he's going to end up peeing blood.

Oh well. There were supposed to be healers around - wait. Is that a finishing blow Equius is trying to deliver? What a classic way to end a fight! A shame he isn't calling the attack, but still, Mikazuki must return the favor.

He charges right back with a punch of his own...

...and flies back when Equius gets him right in the jaw.

Very classic.]

I... believe [He dropped to a knee, grunting.] We are done here. I will call... for a medic. And, I am not angry, human...

Were I angry, I would have been trying to... kill you... or mate with you. I am always filled with rage.

Heheh... yeah, we're probably done. It was fun anyway.

[He sits up slowly, wincing.]

Good thing you're not angry, 'cause I wouldn't like any of these options, haha.

[He flashes Equius a friendly grin.]

And it's Mikazuki! Not "human".

It was, and yes. I think it best to keep to the current options, and I will endeavor to remember that, Mikazuki.

Good! Equius, right? That's what it said on the bracelet.

[He probably mispronounced it a little.]

Anyway, I should probably find a healer or something but how 'bout a drink after that?

[Mikazuki really doesn't mind getting his ass kicked. He'll just have to train some more and have a rematch. He already decided he and Equius are buddies.]

An excellent plan, so long as it is not this carbonated sugar water that humans seem to favor. decadent swill. [He got up and started to head in the same direction. They'd both need some healing after this, after all.

But, it wasn't a terrible first meeting to tell Nepeta about at least.]
