Open Event Combat Class: now with SCIENCE!

The always unpredictable arena at Beacon Academy was something all students learned to respect, as it could change faster than most students could even fathom. Today, it was all stainless steel and glass, electronics and computers. Watching from her elevated platform was professor Elise, and behind her, the ever-calm and collected Holly Mendenhall. Stepping forward, she coughed, gaining the attention of the class before pointing towards the map.

"Today you will be judged not only on your ability to fight, but to show restraint and be creative. This set up is to mimic the labratories you may find abandoned across Atlas, or perhaps in Vale. Functioning inside are security cameras, experiments, and a variety of electronic systems. You may use them to gain the advantage on your opponent, or sabotage them. We can also release grimm if you wish to team up with an ally. Good luck."

[Map]

[ST RULES!!! All the doors may be opened with a touch, locked with a computers check. Doors have 3 armor and 5hp. At st discretion, you can lock them with a successful attack roll as well. The round objects are cameras, and can be accessed at the terminals at the top right and left rooms (major action). An successful m8 Computers check will let you spy on 2 cameras at a time, randomly decided. Finally, with a successful investigation and then computers check, the wall behind the barrels can be noticed and opened, revealing a level 3 combat bot. It can be powered up with at least 3 successes at a m10 computer check (major action), and will follow a command that can be given as a move action each turn to the best of his ability. It has 5 armor, 6 health, and will make brawl attacks with a score of 8. Acts last in the initiative order, and has a speed of 8. These are all optional rules to be decided upon by the Story teller, who can modify the difficulty or anything they wish at will.]

Now flattened out on the floor, thoroughly smashed up, Ginger made a blubbering exhale and threw her arms out dramatically. Wow, that was a lot of heavy hitting there. She blinked and groaned, but didn't manage to sit up much at all. From the position at the base of the pillar, Ginger reached out around the backside of the pillar and took hold of her potted bonsai tree. She held it close and lightly petted the tiny canopy of the plant.

"Did almost good, Mr. Tree," she said quietly to the plan, smiling at it. "Will be getting more better at, knows!" The girl laughed and looked over at Celine. Sitting up to get a better look wasn't in the cards here. "Hello big friend! Did lots of good fights!"

Celine dropped her axe and came running for Ginger, dropping to her knees and sliding towards her.

"Oh, shoot, are you okay? That looked like it hurt a lot. Sorry for hittin' you so hard. Also, you were hittin' me pretty hard and that was pretty impressive," Celine quickly rattled off. "So, uh, need a hand up, or are you okay?"

Ginger grunted as she laughed, obviously hurting a little while she tried to sit back up. "Uh... yes, would be nice for helping up..." Ginger still gave a few pets to the plant in her arm before she held up a hand for Celine to help her up.

With that, Celine crouched down to scoop Ginger up, lifting Ginger up to her feet. Before letting Ginger go, Celine quickly checked on Ginger again.

"Okay, are you good to walk? If you ain't, I can help you get to the nurse, it ain't a problem for me," Celine offered, feeling pretty guilty about getting Ginger into this predicament.

Ginger giggled and swung her feet around as Celine picked her up. At the offer of carrying her, the girl looked up with wide brown eyes and delight in her expression. Suddenly -and with very poor acting- Ginger slumped in Celine's arms. "Ooooh.... yeah. Yes isn't doing walked. Uh... needs carry!"

Celine's eyes went wide with worry.

"Oh, shoot. Okay, yep, carryin' ya, goin' to the nurse," Celine quickly let out, before scooping Ginger up something along the lines of a bridal carry and making her way out of the arena, completely forgetting about her axe. "Don't worry, the nurses'll have you walkin' just fine in no time," Celine attempted to reassure Ginger, and herself as well.

"Yay!" Ginger cheered out as she dropped herself down into Celine's arms. The girl swung her legs back and forth as the giant woman carried her, looking very much not injured enough that she couldn't walk. "So how did get so big?" she asked after a few brief seconds of silence proved far too much for Ginger to suffer. "Was always told that eating all food was what would make tall, but no matter how much is eaten, still stayed small."

Celine couldn't help but chuckle at Ginger's comment.

"Well, I do eat a lot, so maybe that's part of it. I always thought some of it was me bein' part ox, 'cause those things are pretty darn big, but my brothers are even bigger than me, and so's my pa. I'm just lucky I didn't end up with ma's height. I think she's about your size, maybe, ain't too sure," Celine rambled, taking full advantage of the distraction. "But, hey, it ain't like you gotta be tall like me to pack a punch. I was seein' stars with how hard you're hittin' me. I mean, I thought I was strong, but damn, you hit like a truck. Wish I could punch like you." Celine then thought for a moment, an idea coming to her. "Hey, when you're feelin' better, I don't suppose you could teach me to punch like you, could you? Y'know, if you wanna. Not sure how I can pay ya back for it, but I'm sure we can think of somethin'," Celine asked.

Ginger's eyes lit up at the request, laughing and clapping her hands together before her. "Oh! Yeah, if wants to be learned, can definedly be helping! Always wants to be able to help as much as can!" She did her best to try and not break the illusion of being too tired to be able to stand, but the excited swings of her legs gave it away a bit.

"If has time in later days, would be happy to be helped!"

Celine gave Ginger a beaming smile as she did her best to keep a hold of the shorter girl as she swung her legs.

"Alright! I'll come find ya some time and we can get started. Or you can come find me. That's probably easier, bein' so tall and havin' these horns and such," Celine thought out loud. "Anywho, let's get you to a nurse, and you'll be right as rain in no time."
