[Day 1] Foil Round 1: Pine vs. Fray, Ke.

FOIL ROUND 1: PINE VS. FRAY, KE.

Welcome to the Individual Foil tournament of the second Panem Olympic Games! The fencing strips are located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

See also: Foil Information Thread

The three fencing events (Epee, Sabre, and Foil) are tournaments, which follow brackets. Each match will have its own thread, which will be posted by me. Feel free to roleplay your character fencing their opponent for each touch and then paste the code [*roll range="1-4"] without the asterisk into your post and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This corresponds to the number of points your competitor scored in a row, and will be added to your total. All fencing bouts go to fifteen touches and follow turn order, as a regular fight using the combat system would.

The competitor who reaches fifteen points first wins the bout and moves on to the next round. As the bouts finish, the winners will be recorded here; when all the first round bouts have been completed, the bracket will be updated and the next round will start.

CURRENT SCORE

Leo Pine: 15
Kellan Fray: 13



TL;DR
Dice: [*roll range="1-4"] until someone reaches 15. Take turns.
Deadline: 08/23 ~11:59pm EST

Time to do another event. I don't know what's happening with me. Lost wrestling. Granted that match was extremely entertaining. Gou earned my respect for beating me. I respect her. The sprint I participated in didn't go so well. There's no excuses for that. I sucked bad. Now for this damn fencing event. I'm ready to unleash my frustration on the pour soul who's matched up against me. I nod toward my opponent and prepare to strike.

I know what I am doing.

I have been trained every day of my life for moments like these, and my stomach churns with a mixture of excitement and, fuck, I actually feel some nerves boiling within me. No thanks to my opponent, who was obviously nothing more than a bag of meat. I doubted he was even intelligent enough to form complete thoughts until he struck a more than decent blow to my left hip. I raise a brow at him from beneath my mark, and decide it's the last time he'll get away with it.

Four. The number of strikes Kellan lands on me. I know nothing about this person, but evidently the weapon works for him as well as it does for me. The rules for this match are still fuzzy. I'm not sure how much longer my beginners luck will hold out, but I refuse to lay down. After my earlier failures this event will be my redemption. I need to win to keep what little dignity I have intact. I look at my opponent and lunge intending to equal the blows I received.

"Fuck!"

I spit the word out with detest filling every ounce of it. The bulky son-of-a-bitch actually happened to know his way around a weapon.

Suddenly a thought hits me.

Pine.

Ares Pine, District Two, 66th Hunger Games. Dead.

Could it be?

The mask he wears keeps me from knowing, but I decide I'll make damn sure I find out when the match is over. No way in hell am I dying to someone from a family with a dead tribute. I handle the Shores, hell, even enjoy them, but only because of one Opal Shore. Besides her, they are standing at a record of two deaths, and if it wasn't for her, I am sure mother and father would have decided it was best I stay away from them. Although I wouldn't need them to. Losers are not something I surround myself with, and certainly not something I plan to become one of. So I attack.

His outburst has me smiling. Evidently my blows surprised him as it should. Hell the blows surprised even me. I haven't had much time to get myself properly trained with this weapon so the fact I'm doing ok is very surprising. I don't want to lose to some unheard of person. If this is the best I'll be taking down the best. Once again I lunge at my opponent. This fight is very close and I intend to widen the gap.

It doesn't matter that I have been perfect.

It doesn't matter that I have struck him once, twice, three times. Because the little bitch keeps coming back for more, and for fuck's sake, I am doing a shit job of keeping him off of me.

I can only imagine what mom and Dad will have to say, hearing that the wins lost out in wrestling in the first round, that I lost to some district two family has-been. hearing that the children the believed had the most potential are the ones that royally fucked up.

No, fuck that.

I am the best, and I am going to fucking prove it.

What is up with our back and forth volley of strikes? Each time the other strikes hard the other comes right back. Win or lose this match has turned out to be a ton of fun for me. I'm not so sure the other guy will see it this way even if he wins. His outburst only proves he's out to win this match. I normally would be to, but this whole event is something I'm likely to never participate in ever again. Still a first round lost will be embarrassing.

I can see it.

I can see that I am finally getting to him.

Maybe my parents really are right for having faith in my abilities.
(Of course they are.)

Maybe the only disappointments this time are the twins. Maybe, just fucking maybe, I will be able to finish this piece of shit off with my good name still in-tact. I bite my bottom lip to contain the smile and the curse words that threaten to form if I don't, and I charge for what better have been the very last time.

This Kellan must be very pissed if only one strike got to me. For the most part both of us have hit strong and now we can't hit the broad side of a barn. I know I can win this. Only one or two more hits and victory is mine. I don't give a damn what my family might think of a potential loss, but I know losing isn't in my vocabulary. This guy will have to suck it up and realize the jaws of defeat will find him.
