[19:20]	Adlibheretic	It is the second day after the end of the Festival of the Emperor's Ascension.  On this day, you have a glimpse into a world rarely seen, even among the halls of power.  The most secretive sporting event in the sector, more exclusive than the heretekal beast-pits of Malfi, the famed and feared death-races of Tarsus, or even the annual noble duels atop the highest spire of Gunmetal.
[19:20]	Adlibheretic
[19:20]	Adlibheretic	Among the deadly and paranoid cells of the Calixian Inquisition's Throne Agents, there is a yearly gathering, held secret even from the Inquisitors themselves.  A deserted island, surrounded by a privacy field and short-range water-purificators sets the scene for the conflict.  Idyllic white-sand beaches and wind-touseled palm trees form a stark backdrop for conflict and competition among...
[19:20]	Adlibheretic	...the deadliest individuals in the Segmentum.
[19:20]	Adlibheretic
[19:20]	Adlibheretic	In this darkest of all ages, there is only one sport brutal enough to assuage a year of hidden conflict, to settle old scores, make up for tortures and lies, accusations of blasphemy, and blasphemy itself...
[19:20]	Adlibheretic
[19:20]	Adlibheretic	Beach Volleyball.
[19:40]	Adlibheretic	Gathered here today are five teams, plus you, representing a cross-section of Inquisitorial Might.
[19:40]	Adlibheretic	Two representing Inquisitor Rykehuss: Two sultry death-cultists and two studly priests-militant.  Dirty old man.
[19:40]	Adlibheretic	Two representing Inquisitor Ghankus Dhar: Two teams of navy pilots in ripped jeans, constantly slapping one another on the ass.
[19:40]	Adlibheretic	Two representing Inquisitor Al-Subaai:Two teams of scarred and sturdy stormtroopers in red swimsuits.
[19:40]	Adlibheretic	A single team representing Inquisitor Van Vuygens: Senior Adept Graffer and Brother-Sergeant Maximus
[19:53]	Adlibheretic	Wrax and Benedict form a team. Adrian and Ranna form a team.  The first round is single elimination.  You have both drawn a team of Inquisitor Dhar's stormtroopers.
[19:56]	Adlibheretic	It's Adrian and Ranna's first match.  The stormtroopers stretch and glisten with gruff expressions and glowery eyes.  You lose the coin toss.  What are you wearing?
[20:00]	Adrian	is wearing some tactical black swim trunks and tactical black sunglasses.
[20:08]	Ranna	is wearing a black string bikini and dark aviation style sunglasses, hair tied back into a ponytail
[20:21]	Adrian	dives to save the ball.
[20:31]	Adlibheretic	Adrian and Ranna are up 2-0 when one of the stormtroopers sets up a blistering spike over the net, right at Ranna!
[20:35]	Ranna	jumps in front of it quickly to bump it, setting it up for Adrian
[20:38]	Adlibheretic	Point!  Adrian and Ranna knock out the stormtroopers with a clean 3-0.
[20:38]	Adrian	"Yeah!" He prepares to high five ranna
[20:38]	Adlibheretic	The grizzled veterans stand and salute formally, covered in sand.
[20:41]	Ranna	grinned and high fived Adrian "Got em!"
[20:41]	Adrian	gives the stormtroopers a salute as well.
[20:44]	Ranna	doesn't give them anything but the smug grin of a triumphant beach volleyball player
[21:08]	Adlibheretic	The following teams remain after the first round.  Sultry death-cultists representing Inq. Rykehuss.  Navy pilots in ripped jeans representing Inq. Dhar.  Representing Inquisitor Van Vuygens: Senior Adept Graffer and Brother-Sergeant Maximus.  One team representing Inq. Carmine.  The last match still running is between Wrax and Benedict and a pair of stormtroopers, currently 1-1.
[21:10]	Adrian	"I wonder why all the death cultists look like that?"
[21:12]	Adlibheretic	Brunette Death Cultist: "Most of us in the cult are actually men.  His lordship just likes /bad girls/."  She grins and bites her finger.  "Rawr."
[21:12]	Adrian	grins, "I can see why."
[21:15]	Ranna	raised an eyebrow up pretty high looking between the death cultist and Adrian
[21:16]	Adrian	"So then I guess you see a lot of action?"
[21:18]	Adlibheretic	The brunette death cultist is wearing a v-thong made of shiny black leather.  The red-haired one is wearing a chainmail bikini.
[21:19]	Adrian	"Is your friend a bad girl as well?" he asks the talkative one.
[21:19]	Adlibheretic	Giggle.  "The worst."
[21:20]	Ranna	"Is she a bimbo as well or is that only you?"
[21:21]	Adrian	"Hey, no need to be rude."
[21:21]	Adlibheretic	The onlookers around the other court cheer as Wrax and Benedict finish off the stormtroopers with a 3-1 finish.
[21:21]	Adrian	cheers, "Yeah!"
[21:21]	Adrian	"So are both of you busy after this?" He asks the cultists.
[21:22]	Adlibheretic	Red-head: "We must slaughter the emperor's enemies and drink their blood."  Brunette: "But maybe /after that/..."
[21:23]	Ranna	"You're just the /worst/" she said in the most exageratededly sultry voice she could muster
[21:24]	Adlibheretic	Brunette: "It's okay, kiddo.  You'll have boobs someda- ohhhh."
[21:25]	Adrian	looks between the Ranna and the cultists wondering what was going on here.
[21:26]	Adrian	"Do you really drink their blood?"
[21:26]	Ranna	"Excuse me? Look here you littl-" she took a deep breath, closing her eyes behind her sunglasses "I'm above this."
[21:28]	Adrian	"Go get some of that shaved ice and cool off. You'll feel better."
[21:29]	Adlibheretic	Redhead: "Yes."  Brunette: "You don't get curves like /this/ eating nothing but corpse starch."
[21:29]	Adrian	"That's a fact."
[21:30]	Adlibheretic	Michelle will sub in for Wrax, who goes to share war stories with the stormtroopers they faced.
[21:31]	Adrian	"So is that your secret? Blood? Not a steak and some wine every evening?"
[21:31]	Ranna	"I don't need curves like yours, I got mine just fine."
[21:33]	Benedict	makes a pitstop behind a privacy screen and changes into a pair of cargo pants.
[21:33]	Adlibheretic	The discussion is growing heated in more ways than one, but the time for the next round has begun!  Opponents are drawn for this double-elimination round, and the two Team Carmines are going against each other!
[21:33]	Adrian	"Here we go."
[21:34]	Adlibheretic	In the background, you can see Benedict posing for a pictographer-adept taking shots of him for the Inquisition Swimsuit Calendar, the most highly classified calendar in the Segmentum.  A credit chip changes hands.
[21:35]	Adlibheretic	It's Benedict and Michelle against Ranna and Adrian!
[21:35]	=-=	YOU are now known as Michelle
[21:35]	Michelle	is wearing her red and white swim bikini, having not yet played a match to get a new suit, yet.
[21:35]	Benedict	"I hope you don't expect us to go easy on you."
[21:36]	Adrian	"Were you expecting us to?"
[21:36]	Benedict	"Heh."
[21:37]	Ranna	"They never even got a point on us. You dont' have a shot."
[21:37]	Michelle	grins.  "Maybe I just expect you to be easy."
[21:38]	Adrian	"Hey I have some standarnds."
[21:39]	Ranna	"Judging by the last conversation you really don't."
[21:42]	Benedict	manages to keep his eyes off Ranna long enough to set up a return for Michelle.
[21:45]	Michelle	goes up for a spike.  Wham!  Towards Ranna.
[21:47]	Benedict	manages to get in position to stop a spike from Adrian.
[21:49]	Michelle	returns towards Ranna.  She's starting to sweat under the tropical sun.
[21:50]	Ranna	goes up high after Michelle's return, seeing a chance to stuff it
[21:51]	Adrian	whistles at Michelle following that return and gives her a wink.
[21:52]	Benedict	has to sprint to get in postion to stop the return, not expecting it to come from Ranna.
[21:54]	Benedict	has to dive to get the last few inches, but it still isn't enough.
[21:54]	Michelle	Point!  1-0 for AR.  Ranna's serve.
[21:54]	Benedict	dusts sand off his pants and grins sheepishly at Michelle. "My bad."
[21:55]	Adrian	"It's okay, I don't think she noticed." He nods towards the deathcult assassins.
[21:56]	Benedict	gives a tiny shake of his head.
[21:56]	Michelle	is a little distracted by Adrian in spite of herself, but she shakes it off in time to defend Ranna's serve.
[21:57]	Benedict	makes a sloppy spike.
[22:05]	Benedict	stands almost motionless as Michelle sets up the ball, waiting until he feels the eyes of Adrian and Ranna drift off him, then spikes the ball.
[22:09]	Benedict	winks and does double finger-guns at Ranna.
[22:10]	Ranna	blinks and stares at Benedict a little too long
[22:13]	Benedict	takes advantage of Michelle's impeccable defense to spike over the net.
[22:15]	Michelle	Point!  2-0 after a high-vaulting spike from Adrian.
[22:16]	Michelle	Adrian's serve.
[22:16]	Benedict	picks himself up off the sand.
[22:16]	Ranna	will attempt to distract
[22:16]	Benedict	"Now I see how they won their last match.
[22:16]	Benedict	"
[22:16]	Ranna	will attempt to distract Michelle this time
[22:17]	Adrian	serves the ball, high and hot.
[22:18]	Benedict	is barely off the ground before he has to dive back down again.
[22:21]	Michelle	Ranna is momentarily distracted by the fact that OH MY EMPEROR OCEANS EXIST, leaving Adrian to defend.
[22:22]	Michelle	...but it's too slow and the ball hits the sand.  Point!  1-2, service to Michelle and Benedict.
[22:24]	Benedict	stands up, brushes off the sand, and serves, sweating hard.
[22:24]	Michelle	takes the opportunity to bend towards Adrian, striking a sexy pose and blowing a kiss.
[22:25]	Adrian	really likes it here.
[22:27]	Benedict	does what he does best
[22:34]	Benedict	fumbles his return.
[22:34]	Adrian	laughs.
[22:36]	Michelle	Point!  Ranna misses the defense, sprawling in the sand.  2-2, tie game.  Michelle's service.
[22:37]	Benedict	raises an eyebrow in response to Adrian's laughter and Ranna's subsequent bad luck.
[22:38]	Ranna	grunted as she hit the sand, pushing herself up and brushing the sand off in time for the next serve, adjusting her suit as necessary
[22:38]	Benedict	goes for his finger-guns, catches one of them in the loop of his cargo pants, and pulls himself down on his ass in the sand.
[22:39]	Michelle	leaps up for a powerful serve, driving it right down the middle.  It slips past Adrian's fingers as he dives for it, slamming into the sand.  Point!  Game!  3-2, Michelle and Benedict.
[22:40]	Adrian	"Dang."
[22:41]	Ranna	"What?! How did you miss that?"
[22:41]	Michelle	jumps up and down and hugs Benedict.
[22:41]	Adrian	"Caught me off guard."
[22:41]	Benedict	returns the hug, laughing. "Hell of a secret weapon."
[22:42]	Michelle	"Couldn't have done it without the sacrifice finger-guns!"
[22:43]	Benedict	shoots an analyst's salute to Adrian and Ranna. "I, uh, thought you had us there for a moment."
[22:43]	Adrian	returns the salute and sighs. "Time to refuel."
[22:44]	Adrian	grabs some drinks and heads back over to the death cult assassinesses.
[22:47]	Adrian	offers a pair of dark red drinks to the cultists, "The didn't have blood but I'm sure this'll do just nicely."
[22:49]	Ranna	continues brushing sand off herself, watching her teammate go "I have been away from you all for awhile, this is the norm isn't it?"
[22:49]	Michelle	offers to buy Ranna a drink, although first she picks out a new onepiece swimsuit, sleek black with a white stripe on one side.
[22:49]	Benedict	wanders over. "What, beach volleyball?"
[22:49]	Michelle	"Normally it's more fire and death.  This is nice."
[22:50]	Adrian	decides it's time to go all out and changes into a speedo, sunglasses and a necklace. Traditional Rethian warrior garb.
[22:51]	Ranna	would accept Michelle's offer, keeping her own swimsuit because she lost
[22:52]	Benedict	"I might join you at the bar, once I've changed. Save me a spot, hey?"
[22:53]	Michelle	The redhead sniffs the drink.  "Red wine.  Long used to conceal the scent of cyanide."  She smashes the cup over her knee and holds the jagged edge to Adrian's neck.  "Who sent you?!"
[22:53]	Wrax	walks over and joins them after the match. He's changed into a new pair of swim trunks, a reward from the previous match, "Sand in your hair. Means it was a good bout."
[22:53]	Michelle	The brunette just laughs, stirring her drink with her pinky finger - although she doesn't drink it.
[22:54]	Adrian	"Nobody."
[22:54]	Adrian	doesn't break a sweat and drinks some of his drink.
[22:55]	Adrian	"Sorry, that's a lie. I'm on a mission from the God-Emperor."
[22:55]	Michelle	After a minute she takes the jagged glass away and spends a minute picking up the shards.  "Me too."
[22:56]	Michelle	Current standings:
[22:57]	Michelle	Death Cultists: two losses, eliminated.
[22:57]	Adrian	"Good that you don't drop yuour guard for an instant."
[22:57]	Michelle	Navy Pilots: 1 win, 0 losses.
[22:57]	Michelle	Adept and Space Marine: 1 win, 1 loss.
[22:58]	Benedict	joins Michelle and Ranna getting drinks once he's changed.
[23:00]	Ranna	thanks Michelle and Benedict for their drinks before looking over the astartes "I wonder how they convinced him to do this."
[23:02]	Benedict	nods to Wrax. "I spent most of the match flat on the ground, but at least we won."
[23:02]	Michelle	"Duty and honor.  He's a Black Templar, I think.  Once he accepted the challenge, he has to see it through."
[23:09]	Benedict	"So Ranna, when we first met you, you had a thing about not wanting your picture taken. Is that something you still stick to?"
[23:10]	Ranna	took a sip from her drink and leaned back against the bar, thinking a moment "There were a lot of people who wanted me dead back home, there's a lot fewer out here that know me. And if any of them still alive back home get a picture of me in this suit they're free to kiss my ass."
[23:12]	Wrax	takes a small sip from a drink as well, "Lucky there's only one."
[23:12]	Benedict	laughs. "The benefit of joining the Inquisition, now people who want to kill you aren't after you personally. I only mention it because there's apparently a guy going around taking picts for an Inquistion swimsuit calendar."
[23:13]	Ranna	"Honestly even in this line of work it's still probably better to avoid pictures."
[23:18]	Benedict	"I'm of two minds. On the one hand, sure, pictures are a risk. But on the other, it leaves a legacy once you're gone. One that lasts longer than just someone's photographic memory."
[23:18]	Benedict	looks at Ranna and crunches his shaved ice.
[23:20]	Ranna	downs the rest of her drink as the match is about to start "Well, I do like the idea of not being forgotten."
[23:20]	Ranna	"I'll give it a shot."
[23:20]	Benedict	toasts with his ice. "Knock 'em dead out there, and all that."
[23:20]	Wrax	nods, then heads to Michelle and his match, "Good luck."
[23:21]	Adrian	tries to cheer up the death cultists.
[23:21]	Benedict	finds a beach chair and an umbrella.
[23:24]	Adrian	says he'll win one for them and heads out onto the battle sands, garbed in the finest rethian war regalia.
[23:26]	Michelle	The adept and space marine stand solemnly in waiting.  The Space Marine is wearing a loincloth, showing a body of battle and ritual scars over his Black Carapace.  The Adept is wearing heavy robes.  His metabolism must be at a crawl or else he'd be burning up in this heat.  He can hobble around a little.
[23:28]	Adrian	picks up some sand and rubs it between his hands.
[23:28]	Adrian	"This is going to be an interesting battle."
[23:29]	Ranna	"We might die."
[23:32]	Ranna	lowers her sunglasses to wink at the old man and try and get his attention
[23:33]	Michelle	Graffer: "I say, is that young lady trying to seduce me?"  He looks away from the ball to ask the question.
[23:34]	Michelle	The ball bounces past him.  Point!  Service to Ranna.
[23:35]	Ranna	turns and high fives Adrian on the way back to the serve line where she'd attempt to power it past the defenses again
[23:36]	Adrian	returns the high five.
[23:37]	Michelle	Ranna sinks another past Graffer.
[23:40]	Michelle	Service to adrian.
[23:41]	Adrian	"Let's do it."
[23:44]	Michelle	This time, the Space Marine scoops up the Adept with his free hand and swings him at the ball.  "I'm sorry, my friend!  Honor demands it!"
[23:45]	Michelle	It's not enough.  The ball bounces off the adept's shins and flies out of the court.  Point!  Game!  3-0.
[23:46]	Ranna	stared at the ball sailing off out of bounds for a moment before jumping a couple feet in the air "Wooooo! We did it!"
[23:46]	Adrian	"WE DID IT!"
[23:46]	Adrian	high fives Ranna and gives the space marine a salute.
[23:46]	Michelle	Brother Sergeant Maximus raises his fist to his chest, taking one knee in defeat.  "I salute thee.  Thou hast battled well, servants of absent Carmine."
[23:48]	Ranna	returned the high five before getting serious a moment, offering a low bow to the Marine "Emperor bless you and keep you safe, my Lord." she straightened up and couldn't help but grin. She clapped her hands before winding back and giving Adrian the hardest ass slap he's had since that one time in boot camp
[23:51]	Adrian	"Woah."
[23:53]	Michelle	That elminates your opposing team and sets you up 1-1.  You'll face the loser of the match between Michelle and Wrax and the Navy Pilots.  Currently Michelle and Wrax lead 2-1.
[23:54]	Ranna	"Do I get in the calendar now?"
[23:56]	Adrian	heads right back over to see his two death cultist acquaintences.
[23:58]	Michelle	A distracting Michelle and hart-spiking Wrax seal the game 3-1.  There's no time to revel in your victory yet, as you must defeat the pilots yourselves to advance to the finals.
[23:58]	Michelle	*hard-spiking
[23:59]	Ranna	"Easy, loverboy. We got these loverboys to get through first."
[23:59]	Michelle	The taller pilot grabs the shorter one's arm as they make their way over.  "Come on - one more, for me?"
[00:00]	Adrian	glances over at the death cultists and then back at the net and sighs.
[00:01]	Michelle	The coin toss goes to Adrian and Ranna.  Who will serve first?
[00:03]	Adrian	will serve first for his fans.
[00:03]	Ranna	will go for a distraction
[00:13]	Michelle	Botch!  First point to the pilots.
[00:14]	Ranna	went for a diving save but ended up face first in the sand again
[00:15]	Adrian	"Out of the sand soldier!"
[00:15]	Adrian	"This is war!"
[00:16]	Ranna	pushed herself up grumbling, making sure everything was on straight
[00:25]	Michelle	After a long volley, Adrian scores with a good spike delivered against a failed dive!  Point!  Service to Ranna.
[00:26]	Adrian	flexes for the people in the audience and whoever else may be watching.
[00:29]	Ranna	blows a kiss to the audience, hamming it up with Adrian before serving
[00:30]	Adrian	"Yeah!"
[00:30]	Michelle	Point!  The serve scores, bringing you up 2-0.
[00:40]	Michelle	Point!  3-0.  Game!
[00:40]	Michelle	Both Team Carmines are going to the finals!
[00:42]	Michelle	The two pilots get up and stroke the sand off of each-others' sweaty bodies in a totally platonic manner.  The dark-haried, shorter one says that he has a date he needs to get to, and departs, although the taller one wants to stay for more games with the other defeated teams.
[00:43]	Michelle	Adrian and Ranna get their pictures taken for the Inquisition Swimsuit Calendar and an opportunity to get a new swimsuit for the final match.
[00:44]	Michelle	was unable to choose and eventually picked at random and ended up with a skimpy monokini that makes her blush every time she remembers she's wearing it.  However, she's fiercely determined to wear it.
[00:46]	Wrax	will keep his current swimsuit. He clears his throat when he sees Michelle. "Looks good."
[00:46]	Michelle	looks bashfully at the sand.  "Ah - Thank you..."
[00:47]	Adrian	whistles, "Looking good Michelle."
[00:49]	Ranna	came back from her calendar shoot in a new thong bikini, crossing her arms over her chest "Well, rematch time."
[00:49]	Adrian	waves to the death cultists once more before they go back for the showdown.
[00:49]	Benedict	has moved his umbrella and chair to where he can observe the final match. He gives Ranna a thumbs up. "Nice choice."
[00:54]	Michelle	picks up sand sand through her hands and lets it sift down in a half-circle around her.  She nods to Wrax.  "Ready."
[00:55]	Ranna	stretches then returns Benedict's thumbs up "I thought so." she turned to Adrian "Hey, focus on those two. Not your little airhead friends who are going to cut your dick off and offer it to the Emperor."
[00:55]	Adrian	"It's not like that."
[00:57]	Ranna	"It's -exactly- like that"
[00:57]	Wrax	nods, then smiles at Adrian and Ranna. He turns slightly to the side, flexes and poses like a marble statue of a Primarch. "No shame in a loss at this point."
[00:59]	Adrian	"No, not at all. Are you admitting defeat?"
[01:00]	Ranna	shook her head at Wrax "Trying to distract me? Well congratulations, you got yourself caught. Now what's the next step of your master plan?"
[01:01]	Adrian	catches Michelle's serve and hands it off to Ranna, "Quick while he's thinking!"
[01:03]	Michelle	defends Ranna's return, setting up Wrax's spike.
[01:04]	Wrax	cuts off an attempt at a rebuttal quip to spike the ball.
[01:08]	Michelle	Botch!  Point!  Adrian and Ranna lead 1-0.  Service to them.
[01:09]	Wrax	picks himself up. He adjusts his swim trunks and shakes the sand out of his hair.
[01:09]	Ranna	struck a pose for Wrax "No shame in all in giving up, big guy."
[01:09]	Adrian	picks up the ball grinning. "You forget, this is our turf."
[01:10]	Wrax	points a finger while they wait for the serve, "Day isn't won yet!"
[01:10]	Michelle	Ranna's distraction ends up embarrassing herself!
[01:16]	Wrax	drops down to a knee and briefly closes his eyes once he sees Michelle move into position for a defense. Once he hears the impact of a successful interception, he leaps skyward from the sand. At the apex of his jump, he roars out a battlecry in his native tongue and spikes the ball with a thunderous blow.
[01:17]	Michelle	WHAM!  Adrian valiantly dives, barely managing to keep his speedo up, but it's not enough.  Point!  1-1.  Wrax's service.
[01:19]	Michelle	grins and pumps a fist in the air before realizing what that's doing to her chest and covering up with a small panicked sound.
[01:21]	Wrax	smiles and readies a serve, energized despite still catching his breath.
[01:28]	Michelle	Another volley ends with a crashing spike from Wrax, this time blowing past Ranna.  Point!  2-1.  Michelle's service.
[01:36]	Michelle	hurls herself into a low dive to defend a return that's set to fly past her, tearing her suit a little in the process and making it even /more/ skimpy.  She's blushing hotly when she gets up, but at least she saves the shot.
[01:36]	Adrian	whistles once more and deflects the ball to Ranna.
[01:41]	Michelle	Point!  Ranna's return evades Wrax's dive and ties it up.  2-2, Ranna's service.
[01:41]	Adrian	"Allright RANNA!"
[01:42]	Wrax	lunges downward for a saving dive but falls short. He quickly gets to his feet, slaps his chest and focuses for the final bout.
[01:42]	Adrian	"Let's get this over with before Michelle runs out of swim suit."
[01:42]	Ranna	jumps in the air and fist pumps, not giving a good damn one way or the other what it does to her suit "I think she's only got one left in her anyway"
[01:47]	Ranna	takes the ball back to the service line and throws the ball up. In an attempt to serve it as hard as humanly possibly her top shifts disastrously, resulting in the serve going wild as she attempted emergency wardrobe maintenance "Son of a b-!"
[02:00]	Wrax	spikes the ball twice in quick succession, both times defended by Ranna's dives. Now, the third-!
[02:03]	Adrian	quickly avenges the beating Ranna has taken by adding a little cleverness to his return.
[02:04]	Adrian	makes an appearance of hitting the ball hard into their side of the court but instead lightly floats it just barely over the net.
[02:06]	Wrax	had been anticipating a hard spike and has to scramble to defend the feint.
[02:09]	Michelle	dashes back and leaps up, intercepting the ball with an acrobatic midair turn and bashing it one-handed over the net.
[02:20]	Ranna	0x01ACTION sold out dearly for it. Stretching like no beach volleyball player has stretched before. She asked more of that bikini than anyone had ever asked of a bikini in the history of the Imperium and beyond.  Light years away, through a fortress of ceramite and stone a corpse sat on a throne. Its finger gave the slightest of twitches. A Sister ascends to sainthood. An Imperial guard sniper drops a Chaos Marine warlord.
[02:21]	Benedict	sips a drink with a tiny paper umbrella in it.
[02:25]	Adrian	only barely manages the rebound, lightly slapping the ball back over the net.
[02:28]	Michelle	When Wrax makes the dive, Michelle is ready, hammering the ball over the net a final time.  It blows past Adrian, taking the scratched and scraped remnants of his sunglasses with it, and buries itself in the sand, a silent testament to the battle fought here upon these hallowed sands.
[02:28]	Adrian	falls, skidding along the sand, defeated.
[02:30]	Ranna	got up from her save to watch,as if in slow motion as the ball slipped through Adrian's hands and hit the sand. Slowly she got up on her knees, body covered in sweat and held her hands up to the sky, body jerking as she cried out in anguish her top slumping from her shoulders for the briefest of moments. Across time and space a bird shaped god of chaos clasped its hands together, pleased
[02:30]	Benedict	takes out the little paper umbrella.
[02:31]	Wrax	likewise sinks to his knees but in spent exaltation of a battle arduously fought.
[02:33]	Michelle	collapses against Wrax, breathing hard.

OTHER ROOM
=============================



	Adlibheretic	It's Benedict and Wrax's first match.  The stormtroopers stretch and glisten with gruff expressions and glowery eyes.  You win the coin toss.  What are you wearing?
	Benedict	has on a white tank top and a pair of shorts. Comfort and practicality are the name of the game.
	Wrax	loosens up on the sand, wearing a pair of swimming trunks and an open shirt.
	Benedict	hops a few times in the sand.
	Adlibheretic	(It might help to bring a dicebot in here, too, avoid confusing things.)
	-->|	Zack (Zack@sux-93D8B17.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #dhagame2
	Benedict	Give us some good results tonight, okay, Zack?
	Adlibheretic	(Pick your first server and roll!)
	Wrax	stoops down and grabs a handful of sand, running it through his fingers. "This battle...will be the most important one in our lives."
	Benedict	"I'm counting on you."
	Wrax	picks up the ball, looks the opposing stormtrooper in the eye, lobs it up then serves.
	Wrax	,dr 60 Serve
	Zack	Wrax: 55 Success by 0 degrees!

	Benedict	(+1 DoS)
	Wrax	(I'd like to Stunt Bulging Biceps to maybe use Str+Athletics instead of Fel+Charm to Distract, if possible)
	Benedict	(Oh and i can reroll failed saves, I need to remember that)
	Wrax	(Or maybe Str+Toughness if you want to be super kind)
	Adlibheretic	Bam!  Benedict sends it right back.  Wrax, I won't take the ability switch, but you can roll twice on Fel+Charm and choose the better result with your Bulging Biceps stunt.
	Wrax	(lul I don't have Charm trained, is that half Fel or Fel +0?)

	Wrax	(no need to reroll, 9 DoS)
	Adlibheretic	Benedict with the Return.
	Adlibheretic	(But do describe your shot-deflection!)
	Benedict	(Can I use Unremarkable to have the other team be focused on Wrax's dive and the aftermath instead of my return?)
	Wrax	rushes forward at the return. Seeing that he won't reach it in time, he dives towards the sand, twisting in mid-air and raising his left forearm with the instinct of raising his shield. The ball strikes and bounces off his, setting up Benedict for a return.
	Adlibheretic	Sure.

	Zack	Wrax: 19 Success by 4 degrees!
	Wrax	(perhaps no need)
	Benedict	(Looking good either way)
	Wrax	had already moved into position and prepared himself for a spike, so he fluidly transitions to a return off Benedict's dive instead.
	Adlibheretic	Sorry, was typing something in the other channel.

	Adlibheretic	Service to Wrax.

	Benedict	(Quick draw stunt return?)
	Wrax	dives for the ball, sending it up into the air rather than down into the sand.
	Benedict	,dr 48
	Zack	Benedict: 83 Failure by 3 degrees!
	Benedict	immediately slaps it across the net.
	Benedict	(fate if the stunt is a no)

	Adlibheretic	Point!  3-1, game!
	Wrax	(IT WAS ENOUGH)
	Benedict	(The Emperor was with us but with a bit of lag. Clearly they failed cause of the fate point)
	Benedict	is sweating and out of breath as the final point is scored.
	Wrax	roars in triumph, holding up a hand for a victory high-five.
	Benedict	makes a final return.
	Benedict	(geddit)
	Benedict	grins at the other team. "We aren't actually going to have you shipped to Tranch."
	Adlibheretic	The stormtroopers salute respectfully, sand sifting out of their shorts.
	Adlibheretic	(Do either of you wish to change suits, or sit out the next round?)
	Benedict	gives an analyst's salute.
	Wrax	would offer them both a sturdy forearm handshake, to be a good sport.
	Benedict	(Is there an upside to sitting a round out? I am going to get cargo pants.)
	Adlibheretic	(No, just an option, since Michelle's available to sub.)
	Benedict	(I'll stick it out for now, Michelle is the final option)
	Adlibheretic	(Maybe we should round-robin players in, I'd kind of like a chance to play, too.)
	Benedict	(Benedict could sit out one
	Benedict	)
	Wrax	(actually I can sit out one since I need to go do something in a couple minutes)
	Adlibheretic	(Alright)
	Wrax	(but I'd like new swimwear, maybe plain shorts to all-in on offense)
	Adlibheretic	(Sounds good.)
	Benedict	(Also, my logic for Quick Draw [which could apply to rapid reload, if someone had it] was that it represents fast, practised hand movements.)
	Wrax	(+2 Wrax points btw)
	Benedict	( :O)
	=-=	YOU are now known as Michelle
	Wrax	grins at Michelle, loosening his shoulders, "They'll wish they stayed in the sky."
	Michelle	returns the grin, giving Wrax a half-hug while keeping her eye on the competition (who slap one another on the ass).
	Michelle	She's wearing her new black and white onepiece.

	Wrax	pumps his fists, celebrating anothe victory.
	Michelle	redoubles her efforts at distraction with a calculated adjustment of her shoulder strap.  It catches the pilot's eye right before Wrax's spike catches his face.  He proves to be only a man, not a myth or a legend, and the point is good, sealing the game.
	Michelle	jumps up into Wrax's arms and gives Wrax a hug with her legs off the ground.  "Finals."
	Wrax	circles in place, "The prize. Ours!"
	Michelle	,dr 70 let's see if Wrax's distract (0DoS) worked

	Wrax	(ten milleniums from now this calendar will be scrutinized by human scholars, a peak into an age of legends)
	Michelle	(I think Adrian's the only one who hasn't gotten in, yet.)
	Benedict	(The irony)
	Michelle	poses for a photo with Wrax, then lets him get some solo shots, as the phictographer-adept comes around again with his money and picter.
	Wrax	(so is this pictographer alpha legion, curia or collegium)
	Benedict	(It's benedict)
	Michelle	It's Gabriel Roman.
	Wrax	(the dirty old boy)
	Michelle	spends some time picking out a new swimsuit for the final match.
	Michelle	eventually chooses at random and ends up with a skimpy monokini that makes her blush every time she remembers she's wearing it.
	Wrax	will keep his current swimsuit. He clears his throat when he sees Michelle. "Looks good."
