[1 v 1] Y-You're not West! (Tess/Legs vs Sheridan)

[Huni Pi]

The only reason why Tess was at the Gym willingly was because her lower half informed her that someone wanted to see her about a battle. Her first instinct was of course to give a flat out NO to the pair of limbs. But then she remembered asking a certain wrath demon if he would be up for a rematch in the future.

Tess really ought to learn to stop assuming because it tended to make an a** of her. And not the kind Legs wanted to have at that. Which was why the ghoul, dressed properly for a work out, was waiting and warming up.

Legs, on the other foot, was wearing chunky platform boots and booty shorts, reasoning that she'd deal more damage with them than in sneakers or "sensible" shoes. Plus, she knew that the boil they were going to be sparring with wasn't going to be West. The pair of limbs had sent a helping hand to ask a certain celestial dragon boil if he was interested in a study session.

In the Gym.

Worst case scenario, Sheridan is a no-show and being stood up will prompt Tess to call the Wrath demon out for a proper fight. Best case scenario, Sheridan shows up and Legs gives him a reason to study how to fight. Basically, no matter what the outcome, Legs gets a fight, which means she wins!

Somewhere, someone highly objects to Legs being called a Trap. She was (being undead) 100% ghoul, bby~

While Tess continued to stretch out her limbs, she spotted Legs trying to sneak out of the Gym. Quirking a brow, the winged ghoul shook her head and went back to warming up. If Legs decided she was going to run away from a fight (which had been her idea when she sent West that first groanspring message), Tess wasn't going to give the lower half the satisfaction of seeing her back down from her word.

Legs, contrary to Tess' belief, was not running away. Platforms noisily stomped about as she went to search for -ah! There he was! The pair of limbs sashayed up to the celestial dragon, recalling him from the botany class Tess had taken part in. Her hips swayed briefly, then jutted towards the Gym as if to suggest they go into the arena.

Tess recognized that voice! She turned around to confirm that it was indeed that boil from Botany class. "Ah, um, Sherwin, was it? N-no, uh... Sheldon?" she stammered, realizing she'd forgotten his name. Poor form, Tess! Shame on you! "O-oh and yes, Legs is mine. Or rather she's a part of me. Sort of..."

Legs would have rolled her eyes if she had any at her upper half's pathetic display. From what she remembered of the boil, (name not withstanding) the dragon didn't quite have the aggression she was hoping for. Hmmm, what could she do if he wasn't the aggressive sort? Absently, Legs ran her shin along the length of the dragon's tail. Mostly because she was trying to flirt with the boil and make Tess uncomfortable at the same time.  

[Huni Pi]

One minute, Legs was enjoying the feel of soft fur against her cold skin, then she was being blasted with plasma! Quickly she stumbled backwards, putting distance between herself and the dragon. Candlejack, if the boil didn't want to be touched he could have just said so! It's not like he didn't have a mouth to talk with!

Crimson eyes widened, first in discomfort then sheer horror as Sheridan attacked Legs! Alright, so her lower half was being very forward and obviously just doing this to mess with them but... but... "Was that really necessary!?" the winged ghoul gasped, flying over to scoop Legs into her arms, her leathery wings smacking the dragon in the process.

Tess had been prepping herself for a fight. Just... just not with someone she only knew in passing! Also, someone who didn't seem to be on the same year level as her. And while that normally would have been reason enough for her not to engage, the fact that he had taken the first strike made the passive aggressiveness in Maritess less passive and more aggressive. She cringed at the feel of talons clawing at the membranes of her wings, then hefted Legs onto her shoulders, holding her lower half by the ankles.

Legs did not like where this was going and began to struggle, forcing Tess to take to the air. The manananggal had to wait for her lower half to fall unconscious it seemed before she could start wielding her like a bat.

Tess shrieked at the blast of plasma. Though it was aimed at Legs, holding the pair of struggling limbs so close to one's torso also made her an indirect target. And more likely to get hit as a result. She clawed at the skin the plasma had scorched, trying to numb the sensation while fighting off the urge to claw the dragon a new mouth in his throat. Instead, as Sheridan flew past, a sharp, straw-like tongue darted out of Tess' mouth to stab at the boil's neck in search of a pulse point.

Let it be known, Tess does not normally kiss a boil on a first date (fight?) but apparently she was willing to give tongue.

HP: 28/40

The ribbon-thin tongue snapped back into Tess' mouth but not before licking her lips in what could be considered as a leer. It was that rare, brief moment when she and Legs agreed on something, and it just so happened that they agreed the dragon boil could use some schooling on how to treat a ghoul right! Tess winced at the boil's attack, beating her wings just as hard to steady herself.

She wound her arms back, narrowed her sight, and swung Legs at Sheridan. Sorry, dragon boil, unlike the fight with West, Legs was wearing shorts and thus could not take you down with a panty-shot. So you will have to make do with a hip-check.
