Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Spectating as she ate the day's lunch, Adelle saw the struggle continue as Lacrimosa put up some resistance against the ongoing armlock that was threatening to break her or at least dislocate her shoulder, kicking about with her feet to shift them around the floor. Eventually she actually made some progress, getting herself spun around, but the man did not appear too surprised. Doing a shift, he adjusted his own body and came around to sweep his legs around her upper body, bringing the two of them into some kind of triangle choke. It took a while for him to wressle with Lacrimosa, but eventually there was a heavy gasp from the nun that even Adelle could hear from the monitor speakers as the sister went limp, a barely visible trail of some liquid going down the nun's leg as she was let go. While she could not say for certain, the nature of Lacrimosa's perversion revealed to her what just had happened in all likeness. The man seemed assume that he had won, and was up gesturing for the ref, who did not share his idea as everyone else besides the other competitor saw the nun stir and start to get up again.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

The gruesome sight of Lacri's arm being broken or at least her shoulder being dislocated made Adelle's stomach churn a little bit, so she instead looked down at her food and at some to keep from having to watch. Looking back up at the screen a few moments later though she saw that the two had switched holds into a choke hold between the two, where she soon saw Lacri gasp and knew that she'd just had an orgasm right there in front of everyone. Unable to stifle a giggle, Adelle watched intently now as the guy seemed to have thought he'd won as Lacri began to get back up and smirked at the screen.

"Heh, done fucked up now dude, should have knocked her out when you had the chance," Adelle murmured to herself, stuffing a couple of ketchup covered fries into her mouth as she watched, waiting for Lacri to go over and finish this fight.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

The distraction of thinking that her opponent had won allowed Lacrimosa to pull herself back together as she got back up again after the bout of groundwork, even allowing her the time to crunch her shoulder back to it's proper alignment with her other arm. By the time the man realized that he was still in a fight, she had already taken a few stretches to test the working condition of her arm, which appeared to be just fine by then. Quickly stepping up to close the distance between them, which was not all that long, the nun came in with a backhand that appeared to have more effect than all the punches she had just endured from her competitor. Merely by using that harsh slap, she managed to bust the man's nose and send him stumbling into the edge of the arena where the chain link fence stopped him. Before he could collapse or anything, the nun was already on him, grabbing him by the hair and starting a rather brutal grinder maneuver by rubbing the man's face against the fence to encourage further blood flow as the occasional uncut barbs on the fence slashed him. This really seemed to get the crowd riled up, the most likely reason for this being that it was indeed Lacri, who had apparently not been there for a while if the doorman's earlier words were to be believed.

After about a dozen side-to-side scrapes, the man was a fair bit messier than he had been just a little while ago, and that sight was brought to the nun's sight as well when she turned him around. The vision of this activated another kink that she had, one that had gone unnoticed for a while. Lacrimosa did have a keen interest towards blood as well, and here it showed again as the fight turned into something from a strange fetish show as that interest took over. Pushing herself against the opponent, the nun pinned him against the fence before she started going all over his face with her tongue, the desire to taste his blood overcoming the urge to get this fight over fast. No, it looked like she had come to squeeze everything she could enjoy from the opponent before finishing this. Despite the hypersexual feeling of the happenings, the man did not appear to view it as such and was still in a fight, trying to get away from the crazy girl who had him trapped. And like before, the crowd seemed to love it, even this bizarre event most likely being a thing they expected to happen. With a crowd as male-dominated as this, it was sure that a little kink show would please them.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Watching Lacri pop her shoulder back into place, Adelle flinched a bit, the sight of it sending a chill up her spine. Watching the guy turn back around to see that Lacri was now back up, Adelle knew that he was in for it not, and merely sat back and watched the show as Lacri began to make her move. "Jeez Lacri, come on and finish this fight, you've already won really," Adelle murmured to herself, taking another bite of her food as Lacri began licking the blood off the man's face, which she seemed to be trying to force out by grinding his face into the fencing.

Hearing the crowd cheering about what Lacri was doing to him, kind of made Adelle chuckle a bit, as it seemed that the majority of them had either expected her to do this, or simply like the fact that she was licking him, though the guy didn't seem to like it and continued fighting to get free. Finishing her meal, Adelle watched the last of the fight, sitting back and propping her legs up on another chair at her table to kick back and relax while her food settled and the fight finished up.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

The lapping of blood went on for a bit, Lacrimosa getting what she had come for as she kept the man down and tasted the blood to her leisure until her opponent burst out from the pin, trying to make a comeback with his messed-up face. It was to be a short and mostly useless attempt as the nun's leg came up to meet him in a quick and forceful kick, catching him in the gut and pushing him back to the fence. Before anything further could happen, she was already on him, pulling the guy away from the fence in order to create a little bit of room before grappling him and using a thunderous throw to swing him over her hip and onto the ground behind. It was a harsh move, probably done with all the strength that Lacrimosa could put into it, and the thump that it caused was just as loud.

Throwing herself into the fight with increasing ferocity, the nun moved quickly and mounted the man's chest as he tried to get his breath back from the slam, not giving him much of a chance to make any further attempts at anything really. A fist came down on his face, followed by a few others as the sister really went to work with him, hitting him about a dozen times despite the fact that he had stopped any sort of defense after the third hit. After the punches, Lacrimosa grabbed the man's head with both arms and slammed it down onto the ground a few times before she realized that there was no more fight to be had from him. This time the ref was there to call the match, giving it to the nun without any sort of questioning even as she was still looking over the man who she had destroyed. It was truly strange to see how Lacrimosa went about these matches, using the opponents as fodder basically for her own needs. But it looked like she was not completely comfortable with doing it as she had shifted to the side of the man, still remaining on her knees as she scooped the opposition up onto her arms, looking at him with eyes that were not those of the earlier predator. Giving the ravaged face a final lick, she embraced the man, the video feed showing Adelle that she was apologizing quietly to this youth who had stepped into the arena with her.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Watching the fight begin to come to a close as Lacri began fighting back more intensely, Adelle finished the last of her beer and flinched a bit at the harder hits to the young man, thinking to herself that she was glad that she wasn't on the receiving end of those powerful fists of fury the nun had. Seeing the poor beaten guy, Adelle couldn't help but feel sorry for him at getting pitted against Lacri, but that was obviously a risk in this place, that you'd get the living hell beaten out of you if you weren't careful or got put up against a harsh opponent.

"Damn Lacri, think you knocked him around enough?" Adelle mumbled, shaking her head a little bit as the win in terms of money she'd gotten left a slightly bad taste in her mouth now that she was thinking about it. Adelle idly wondered how her payout would come to her, figuring that the machine in front of her would spit out some money for her as she saw Lacri apologizing to the young man for giving him one helluva bad day. Well at least she regretted obliterating him like she'd done, Adelle thought when she saw this, checking her ticket again to see if she needed to scan it with the machine or what.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

As the last little things that remained after the battle were being taken care of, Adelle dealt with her bet stuff. There was nothing really to be seen in the ticket, but as she inserted it into the same slot where it had come from, a series of screens passed by her sight, all of it ending with a bunch of notes and coins coming out to their respective trays on the machine. In total, it was a little over a hundred bucks, so her bet had won her double and a little more than she had bet on the fight. Looked like there had been some large bets in there to allow her for some winnings.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Finally figuring out what to do to get her winnings, Adelle slipped the ticket she'd gotten earlier into the machine where it spat out a little over double what she'd bet. Counting her money, Adelle pocketed it all, leaving a 5 dollar tip for the waitress since she was so helpful earlier with showing her how the machine worked. Adelle stayed seated though until Lacrimosa came back to the table, merely watching if another fight would take place after the ring had been cleared, which she thought about betting on if Lacri wasn't back yet or didn't want to leave if she was back already.

 

[Guan Yu]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

The match bets stayed where they were for a while, not really changing yet as the new fighters were being selected from whoever wanted to do it. Looking over to the arena cam revealed that the fighters themselves were getting paid for their battles as well, but Lacrimosa had not decided to take hers, leaving whatever she was getting to the man who she had just brutalized into a recovery period that would likely take a few weeks at best. After a few minutes, she was back with Adelle, looking messier than she had before with blood on her hands and face mostly, but there were tiny splotches to be found on other places as well. Just as she took the seat, a new match blinked onto the screen as well, the next guys to fight having already been found.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

When Adelle saw Lacri decide not to take the pay offered for the fighters and give it to the guy she'd beaten the hell out of, she couldn't help but smile a bit, thinking it just like her to do such a thing. After she arrived back at their table with her, Adelle nodded to Lacri and gave a little smirk. She hoped that the guy she'd beaten up would recover alright without any troubles.

"I uh... I guess you won. You want a bite to eat before we go? I doubled up what I bet, so I've got some extra money to get you something with if you want it," Adelle said to Lacri, asking if she were hungry. "And I guess you got lucky enough to fight someone that didn't know you," she added.

 

[Guan Yu]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

"He did not know about my condition... of course it ended like this. I could use the food, so sure..." the nun replied rather bluntly, not going to ignore the truth, though she did not look too proud about it. Turning the screens towards herself, she looked through the menu, already knowing what she would be ordering as she selected something called the inferno pot from the list. If Adelle looked over the list to see what it was, she would find out that it was a small pot of chili accompanied by rice and bread. If the name was of any indication, the main dish would likely be up to the heat standard of what the nun had eaten a few times before when the two of them had been at her home, and it certainly looked the part too.

A little time went by before the food arrived, but after it did, another bout presented itself to Adelle as the portraits shifted again, this time bringing some familiar faces as the female bouncer from their own bar appeared as the other competitor. Lacrimosa too noticed this among the eating. "She's strong, really strong. I might not be able to beat her as she knows about my secret."

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

"M'kay, just pick out something and I'll pay for it. Have you ever lost in the ring there by chance?" Adelle said, asking curiously if her nun friend had ever been defeated in the ring by someone.

She noticed the inferno pot dish that Lacri ordered and remembered the failing of her senses, with taste being one of those. Smiling sadly at Lacri, Adelle slid however much money the dish cost into the machine to pay for it while they awaited it to come out for the nun. When the next two faces popped up onto the screen, Adelle noticed the lady bouncer from the hunter's hangout, where the busty girl glanced up at Lacri as she said what she did and then glanced back to the screen for a few moments.

"Hmm... what would you say are her chances to win this fight then? Might be able to make some more money before we leave, because she certainly looks very capable and if you say she could probably beat you because she knows your secret, then she's gotta win surely. Plus a day or two before he got killed I watched her toss Jet out of there like a piece of trash," Adelle asked, thinking to make a bit more money before leaving the place maybe which could get the money she'd used today back.

Adelle slipped out another 50 dollars and bet it on the bouncer lady that knew Lacri, feeling that she'd made another good bet this time around. "Well I do hope she's at the top of her game tonight, would hate to lose the fifty bucks I just won betting on you," Adelle said as she locked in her bet on the girl and got the ticket for afterwards, where she'd sit back with Lacri and watch the fight.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

"Of course... there are some strong guys here..." Lacrimosa admitted having lost at least once in her time at this place. While she ate, Adelle bet some more, most likely scoring some easy money again if there was any truth to what the nun told her. "That is easy to understand... as he was afraid to try anything against her. The unspoken rule about the bar is... if you get physical with a bouncer... that's the line when they can stop being polite and use whatever means they deem necessary to maintain order. Jet might have been able to go and have an even bout with Reynard... you know, the bald guy in the suit who usually does the job around the bar... but if he riled Mei up from those naps she always seems to be in and actually swung at her... I think we would have gotten rid of him earlier. She is really a nice person... but once there is cause to get serious, she can be really vicious... And she seems to know some deeper secrets about the spiritual side of martial arts... since she can use a kind of ki power. I wish I could do that..." she gave little perspective towards the female bouncer as well as admitting a possible jealousy.

The match started shortly after that, a partially cybernetic or at least somewhat metal-enforced guy being the opponent for the lady bouncer, who was doing a strange, slow-moving dance-like thing before the two started. If what she had heard before and the girl's dress code along with her ethnicity told Adelle the correct things, that was most likely the exercise side of Taiji being performed. Much like Lacrimosa from before, Mei too did not start attacking at the beginning, instead using a solid defense strategy. But unlike the nun, she was not letting anything through while throwing a few playful pokes at the opponent whenever there was a window for one. It appeared to be a part of her strategy, causing frustration in the opponent who was using a more basic form of streetfighting to attack, which only caused a disservice for him against the far more disciplined bouncer and her methodical style. Once the swings and kicks against her became harder, the redhead started to counterstrike with equal force, eventually taking an offered kick and using the extension of the man's leg to pull him past herself, leaving the two in a back-to-back situation. Taking a step back, she further unbalanced the guy with a push and thrust an elbow to his side, which caused a little further stumbling. Taking a look back, Mei twirled as she began another approach, pulling out a rather flashy fan kick which ended up with the tip of her shoe colliding and denting the metallic side of the opponent's face. Reeling from the hit, the guy stumbled about in a dizzied state, the impact apparently being strong enough to scramble his protected head. What little he had to give at that moment was no cause for anyone to be worried about, and the bouncer lady watched him try to come at her in that state, the only one strike managing to come into her direction being gently brushed aside like a swaying branch that was bothering her. The guy collapsed shortly after that, not having the balance to get up again. The ref judged the match done, and Mei gave the guy a polite bow and a genuine smile, despite having soundly beaten him. It did look like she had her values right, and had a spot for fair and honorable competition, even if she was obviously the superior combatant.

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

"Aye I remember seeing Reynard, didn't know that was his name mind you, but I remember the description of him. But I believe Jet went after Shiulin and Mei came over and knocked the hell out of him and tossed him out, from what I remember anyway. And if you'd like to do that martial arts thing she does, why don't you ask her to teach you?" Adelle said as she watched the two in the ring prepare to fight.

Once the bout began, Adelle watched closely as they went at it, wanting to see if she could learn any sort of techniques from Mei, as she was obviously strong. She watched on as Mei's probing attacks made the man she was fighting look rather frustrated. As the match progressed, she saw Mei had the upper hand for the most part, catching the man's leg when he kicked once and literally tugging him towards her and pulling him past her where she slammed her elbow into his side. Flinching at the kick to his head that literally dented the metal up there, Adelle watched the match finishing up soon after that, with Mei as the victor rather quickly from the looks of it.

"Wow, she beat him quite fast. I mean I expected her to win and all, but I wasn't sure she'd win that quick," Adelle said when Mei did her bow once the ref had judged her the victor. With that she checked her ticket on the machine to see how much more she'd won with that match, glancing over at Lacri as she collected her winnings with a bit of a grin. "You know, I'm glad you showed me this place Lacri. I can make some extra money here when I'm not doing any jobs and don't have anything else to do," she added.

 

[Guan Yu]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

The money that Adelle scored this time around was a little less, just a few bucks above the doubled bet. That was easy to see as Mei had been a bigger favorite than Lacri, the collective bet pool being leaned towards her even more than it had been with the nun. "I knew you might like it here, so..." the sister explained as she finished the last little bits of her hellish meal, having eaten the entire thing without any drink. It did not seem to bother her any, nor did the fact that she was still bloodied as a result of the earlier fight. At least she was holding the need to taste the blood back with pretty decent determination. Maybe she had actually satisfied herself somewhat as a result of the match, who knew.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Raking in another 50 bucks or so, Adelle pocketed it along with the rest she'd made from her previous bet, noticing at the same time that the payout for her match was even less than Lacri's amazingly. Glancing up as Lacri spoke up once more, Adelle raised an eyebrow at the way she finished speaking and trailed off as she finished her food. "So... what? You sounded like you wanted to say something else there," Adelle asked curiously.

Adelle was also a little amazed by the fact that Lacri had eaten the whole meal she'd ordered without a single drink of any kind, making Adelle wonder if Lacri's senses had gotten worse in the last few days perhaps. She hoped that they hadn't gotten worse, as that would mean having to do more to get herself off and whatnot. Maybe there was something the people of the sky city could do for her, should they manage to ever make it up there.

"Well, I guess we can head on out whenever you're ready. I've already eaten something myself. I wonder what time it is, might have time for a quick job at the bar with any luck, but I doubt it," Adelle said, looking around for a clock to see what time it was. If it was past 3:30 to 4:00 PM, then Adelle wouldn't bother with another job really, as it would likely end up with her getting home late and having to travel through the dark in order to get back, which she didn't like doing at all. But if it was before those times she would head on over to the bar, after dropping Lacri back off at her place should she wish to go back, or she'd take her over to the bar with her to see what all was up if she wished, whichever Lacri decided on really.

 

[Guan Yu]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

"It's nothing really..." the nun sister shrugged the question off, not having anything to add to the previous statement apparently. She knew the place good enough to point the nearest clock out to Adelle, which was located on the bottom corner of the screens in front of them. It was only a few minutes past 1 pm, so they still had a fair amount of time to do other things. Not sure what she should be doing, Lacrimosa opted to follow Adelle and possibly take a job with her as she had donated her earlier prize to the opponent. This did make a trip to the nun's home a necessary thing however as she was not one to represent in the wrong outfit, still maintaining the need to have that super-frilly dress when they were doing jobs to the hunter group. The fight club appeared to be a different matter, possibly one where she would not use the usual clothes.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Checking the clock, Adelle saw that it was nowhere near as late in the day as she expected it to be, leaving plenty of time to go take a job at the bar. "Well you looked like you wanted to say something else Lacri, so go ahead if you want to. I don't mind listening," Adelle told Lacri as she checked the time.

Regardless of whether or not Lacri spoke up on whatever was troubling her, Adelle got up and went on out as soon as they were both ready, starting the bike up and letting the nun climb onto the back of it before heading back to Lacri's place for her to pick up some things to go hunting with depending on th job of course. Stopping off at Lacri's, Adelle waited for her out front, waving at Zacharias if she saw him while she awaited her friend to come on back out.

Once Lacri was outfitted once more for hunting, Adelle let her climb back on bike before heading off to the bar with her to check on any possible jobs for them to go on. Adelle also expected to see Mei back in her position by the time they arrived back over there too, where if she was Adelle would give her a friendly nod as they went past her and inside.

 

[Guan Yu]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Even though Adelle tried to poke an answer out from her, Lacrimosa made no further mention about her earlier statement, having firmly decided to let it go. Since there was no further thing to be done about that, the two left, the busty girl having a slightly heavier wallet and a fuller stomach compared to the time they had arrived. After a quick visit, the nun was dressed up again, looking like she usually did in that overly fancy uniform of the group. She had taken the claws along with her as well, managing to hold onto the bike even as she had the things on somehow. While the nun was usually quite unassuming even with her dress, the inclusion of large claws on both hands suddenly made her look way more dangerous. Hopefully she could manage to avoid cutting things by accident.

Even though the pair had left earlier and had a bike to go about with, Mei had still managed to make it before them, already gone into sleep on her corner chair by the time they arrived. Reynard was there like usual, not having any side jobs apparently, unlike his female co-worker. If he got less pay than the perpetually sleepy Chinese lady he worked with, the employer had not followed them enough to see what was going on. Even so, the place was likely not going to get violent as easily now, what with Jet gone from the picture. There had really not been any others that were as violent as him, though Adelle had seen a fight erupt once before without him.

Going to Samson and talking to him about jobs got a response right away. Apparently it was another house mission, concerning some other hunters apparently going missing on a job.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)

Adelle was a bit surprised to see Mei had beaten them back over to the bar, but not too amazed about it. She was actually rather glad Lacri had taken a few minutes back at her place too since she'd eaten a rather large lunch... meaning that much more weight she might gather in and around her chest, Adelle thought with an inward sigh. Heading on inside the bar proper she and Lacri went over towards Samson's table to speak with him about some work where they were soon told about some other hunters that had gone missing on their own mission.

"M'kay, whereabouts were they heading to when you lost contact with them?" Adelle asked the old hunter, glancing over at Lacri when he finished telling them of what he needed of them.
