🌙 The First Eclipse

[tsukihito]

WHO: Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto versus Fayren (Styxx, 17, Trunks & whomever else)
WHAT: Upon the heels of announcing his claim over Fayren, Tsukihito decides to crush all opposition by hosting a mock tournament. The rules are quite simple. If the challenges win, Fayren remains free. However, if they lose...
WHEN: The Evening of September 21st.
WHERE: The Coliseum



[It was evening when the moon turned dark. The skies went from clear to cloudy as if another storm was brewing over Fayren. When almost all of the shimmering stars within the night sky were smothered with shadow, a slither of light curled around the dark moon as the first lunar eclipse took place. As the silvery moon slowly revealed itself again, a bright beam of light crashes right into the center of the coliseum.]

Those foolish enough to challenge the Divine---

[Within that pillar of light stands the silhouette of a monster several feet tall with glowing crimson eyes.]

Step forward.

[As the bright light begins to fade, Tsukihito's fearsome form is revealed. Despite supposedly being a white fox, this celestial looks more wolfish in appearance with a strong maw and fangs that look like they could pierce steel. It's eyes shine like rubies and the odd red markings upon its fur shimmer with absurd brilliance. The monster's many tails sway erratically behind him as it crouches low upon all four.]

All those who challenge me will be met with death!

[Hear that Fayren? Either stand before him or take the knee. Tsuki--no, Tsukuyomi has made his declaration loud and clear.]


notes: takes place after this declaration.)

17 & Trunks [Closed]

[tsukihito]

[Only a fool would dare try to come for the Moon God armed with a rolled up newspaper.]

Re: 17 & Trunks [Closed]

[beamsmagicalgirls]

[This fool did indeed. Some moon dog needed to be taught a lesson. Seventeen has witnessed Gods from his world, and they're aren't immortal.]

Demanding enough.

[Seventeen said dryly, almost as if he was ignoring Tsukuyomi's warning...okay he was. Death threats were nothing, Seventeen rode that boat a long time ago and made it back. He was holding a newspaper by his side, both arms hanging. He was quite serious to bring the paper.]

Foxes are said to dominate, mostly the pact. They would test each other's strength to win the territory, sometimes leaving the other one alive. The dominated one gets special treatment

[He simply states the behavior.]

You have a preference?

[He directed his question to Trunks as he kept his eyes on the dog. He didn't mind if they both fought together or took turns. He was open to anything, really.]

Re: 17 & Trunks [Closed]

[light_of_willpower]

[How he'd been roped into this was something Trunks was still pondering. But Seventeen did know he had no love for "Gods" throwing their weight around without consideration for mortals or care. The android and half-saiyan had--it wasn't a friendship, but it wasn't enemies either--something.

A trust to have each other's back at least, and so here he was to make sure he had Seventeen's back.

Really though, a newspaper? There'd been an eyebrow raise, then a shrug.]

Depends since you're the animal expert. If it's just a manner for reminding him what mortals can do, then better we work together.

[Likewise, Trunks was also not taking his eye off of the big dog-god.]

[tsukihito]

You think of me as some mere beast?!

[The fox howls as it slams its paws onto the gravel with enough force to cause a miniature quake. He's not some little fox kit, you two. He's a huge, no, gigantic fox with an ego that is bigger than the circumference of the moon. ]

You shall rue the day you've insulted me!

[Before either knew it, they're seconds away from being devoured by those vicious looking fangs. Tsukuyomi leaps over with the speed of a freight train ready to strike. His speed is relatively impressive considering his size. The damn fox takes up a good chunk of the coliseum.

It keeps snapping its jaws at them, trying in earnest to gobble them up as he threatens. Meanwhile, those white seven tails start to glow ominously with the moon's radiance cluing that Tsukuyomi is just biding his time for something big.]

DIE, VERMIN!

[beamsmagicalgirls]

Think we made him mad.

[More like Seventeen did. He felt the ground shake but stayed his ground regardless.

Before Seventeen could continue the conversation, there was a giant fox heading their way to get the first bite. Seventeen tucked away the newspaper in his back pocket, for now, and jumped to the air to one side of the fox avoiding the beast's jaws.]

Sure, I'm game.

[He responded to Trunks as he extended one open palm out towards Tsukuyomi's paws. Seventeen's palm lit up in an instant before it showed blue beams towards the pup's feet.

Working together huh. Seventeen wasn't sure how this would go.]

Styxx [Closed]

[tsukihito]

[Let's test the limits of your immortality, human!]

Re: Styxx [Closed]

[despisesthegods]

[The extent of Styxx's immortality was limited, but not here in Genessia. Only in the real world, and had it been his brother going up against the god instead, though the man had no concept of strategy, he still doubted this particular god would be able to hold his ground. Acheron was one scary son of a bitch when he wanted to be and that was the aura he normally showed. Styxx on the other hand might have been human, but he knew the tricks needed to go up against a god, and this one seemed to already have his underbelly showing a little. Too bad he hadn't been trained by Galen.

Styxx walked into the coliseum right on time, ready for the battle to come as he stood before the fox with his sword and red hoplan with a rising phoenix upon it, both he'd had made to suit his tastes right here in Genessia. Styxx was ready and armed to the teeth for this fight.]

Looks like the little foxy needs a lesson in being less of an asshole.

[tsukihito]

[A wondrous sheen takes to Tsukuyomi's form as the moonlight claims him with its celestial aura. He's positively radiating with power as he steals over towards this fool human. Those brighter eyes shine with murderous intent as the fox stalks nearest and nearer.

All hell is about to break loose.]

The only lesson taught here will be the fragility of your mortality, fool.

[Without much warning than that, Tsukuyomi snaps his jaws at the man and leaps forward hoping to pounce right on him. This isn't the fill brunt of his powers but merely a taste of it. However, Tsukuyomi is relying on his inhuman strength and ability to test this man. When the time comes for him to alter forms, Styxx will realize just how lethal this little fox truly is.]

[despisesthegods]

[Styxx was used to people being lethal, especially gods, which is why he watched the fox before him with a practiced intensity, watching his every move and figuring it out. As soon as Tsukuyomi pounced, Styxx dodged to the side, his sword sliding from below to be the last part of him to dodge the attack, but that had been for a purpose. If he was lucky, his blade would make contact and at least wound.]

[tsukihito]

[Unfortunately, Tsukuyomi is much swifter on his feet than he lets on. The fox may have let his prey spill in between his paws but the fox is nimble enough to avoid the incoming strike. While he didn't expect this human to be that fast, Tsukuyomi is eager to match his speed with his own.

That's why the overgrown titan quickly dashes towards the prince's right in other to launch another weighty strike. The beast's paws are swift but patches an inhuman strength much like a wrecking ball. The alleged deity is hoping to land a crushing blow upon this mortal, not willing to be merciful in this bout.]

A New Challenger Appears [Open]

[tsukihito]

[He's about to chew someone's head off literally.]

Amy

[amygreycastle]

[Amy was done with this guy, she really was. So once the announcement went out, she got off work early, thankful that she had this weekend off as it was. Walking into the Coliseum with her bow in hand and her quiver of arrows on her back, she just tilted her head.]

Hi there.

[That's all she says before she notches an arrow into her bow and raises it to fire.]

[tsukihito]

[A viscous snarl is her welcoming once Tsukuyomi lunges forward. If this fool woman think her puny arrows will take him down, then she's in for a surprise. These humans have grown far too bold since his last encounter with them. They make a mockery of his declaration by even challenging him. That's why each opponent needs to be suppressed here and now.]

This shall be your grave!

[A barrage of fangs and claws have come to greet her. He's trying to devour her whole.]

[amygreycastle]

[Swearing under her breath, Amy lets the arrow fly, hoping it hits him somewhere as she dives out of the way.

She's also glad she can't die for good here.]

[tsukihito]

[This foul woman should've rethought her life choices when she dared to enter this arena. Unlike past threats that have dared to tear Genessia asunder, Tsukuyomi is undeniably serious about making Fayren his domain. The crazed beast will stop at nothing to ensure he gains this land, even if it means killing this feeble archer.

The arrow makes its mark but the damn thing doesn't seem to leave much of an impact. Tsukuyomi charges right towards her with its massive jaw attempting to snatch her right up. If he manages to somehow miss her, Amy best be prepared to dodge any incoming strikes later.

Tsukuyomi is fighting less like a deity and more like a monster right now. He's been enraged out of all sensibility.]

Li

[li_amaranth]

[She couldn't deny that this upstart fox pissed her off to no end. So when Li showed up, she was beyond angry and watching like a predator watches prey. Li didn't care if he was a god, forest spirit or any other number of things.

She just wanted to make his life hell and prove she wasn't just some weak female like he thought she was. Which meant she was ready to fight the moment she spotted the overgrown fur coat.]

[tsukihito]

[Yet in her need to prove herself, Li already proved herself to be weak enough to need validation. That is why the enormous white fox laughs as this frail woman approaches. He already won this battle as far as he's concerned. Maybe he takes her too lightly or maybe he thinks too highly of himself but one thing that's certain, Tsukuyomi is a menace.]

You idiot.

[The fox snarls.]

You've thrown away your life over a few words?

[li_amaranth]

[She just keeps watching him. Perhaps with her being in front of him, he can smell that she's not human.. that she is something that belongs to the water and equine in nature with the hint of blood beneath it all. Li growls back as she stands her ground.]

What can I say? Your type really piss me off.

[tsukihito]

So, you would allow your anger to guide you into an early grave?

[Tsukuyomi tosses back his head and laughs. It's not one of his haughty snickers but rather a bark-like laugh that is gut wretchingly awful in every aspect of the word. It's a maniac laugh, one that heralds the erosion of whatever sanity the fox deity possesses.]

IDIOT!

[The fox slams his paw down with enough power to cause thd ground to quake beneath them both.]

I don't care what you are! You will die here along with everyone else who dares to defy my will.

[Spectator Sports]

[notquitedracula]

[It's a rare day that Soma chooses to do something just for the hell of it. But he has a new business to run, and this seems a good opportunity to get the name out - so he's here, now, with a skeleton camera crew made of real skeletons, a selection of potions, and - was that someone else bringing in food, drinks, and recording equipment?

Was this place REALLY that badly starved for some good entertainment?]

[orlokbutterfly]

[That certainly was someone else handling the refreshments, and one can certainly bet there's even coupons for a certain nightclub chain to go right with them. One would think Nova City's Guardian would have better things to do right about now, but anyone who has even an inkling of what Gale's like would know this is right up his alley.

And sometimes, you just gotta make your own entertainment. Especially if someone has been around even the fraction of the time Gale (or one of the handful that's been here longer) has.

Where did these two sponsor businesses suddenly come from? Who knows! It's Genessia, and word gets around! ... for better or for worse.]

[tsukihito]

[The hell? What the hell is this?!

The enormous fox god storms over in pure unadulterated rage. Are these vermin trying to cash in on his decree? It certainly seems that way and Tsukuyomi isn't too pleased about that.]

What do you heathens think you're doing?

[The fox looks down upon them with great loathing.]

[notquitedracula]

Broadcasting. Now back away so we can keep you in frame. Or do you not want people to see you win?

[Soma is... supremely unconcerned with the fox god thing. Let's face it - he's fought bigger. Come to that, if Tsuki can sense this sort of thing, there's something about him that might even seem familiar. The soul of one who is loved by the night.

A vampire - or at least the scion of one.]

[innocent_royal]

[Well look who else is helping with the snacks? Anastasia just happens to have been with Soma when all this went down, and she happens to have a tin box of a generous size full of cookies.

Anastasia did watch the fox God warily as she came up and took a seat beside Soma.]

I have them, Soma. Like you asked. ...

[fairysoul]

[Mavis is here but she's only watching the fights for now. This is more about watching and learning what Tsukuyomi is truly able of.

There's no need to take action. Yet. But she's ready to step in or call her deputies if needed.

Of course, a short blond girl in a long pink dress sitting on the tiered sitting of the Coliseum is not likely to catch Tsuki's attention. But she's not missing a beat.]
