-- First Round --
[16:38] <Misha> A female cook charges at Beryl, her violet hair trailing behind her. The enrgaged woman swings her frying pan at Beryl, glaring at her.
[16:41] <Misha> Beryl tries to dodge, but the apprentice cook is just too quick for her, and too skilled with her weapon of choice. As Beryl moves, and frying pan hits her on the left shoulder, making her stumble.
[16:42] <Misha> OOC: 14 damage
[16:44] * Beryl hops back clutching her arm. Weaving the arcane energies at her command, she attempts to bind her attacker's feet to the floor.
[16:45] <Misha> OOC: Which one?
[16:45] <Beryl> OOC: The one that hit
[16:49] <Misha> Beryl feels her energies follow her bidding, and the hapless cook doesn't even make a peak as she is bound to her spot, unable to twitch a finger.
[16:52] <Misha> Not noticing their companion's predicament, two of the cooks attack in unison. They charge at Beryl from both sides, flanking her. The teenage boy to the right throws a plate at her, while the other attacker just charges blindly, weaponless.
[16:57] <Misha> The rage clouds their minds, and the two miss Beryl. The attacker coming from the left swings his fist at her as hard as he can, and missing his target, goes into a spin. Before he can right himself, the plate thrown by his companion hits him squarely on the forehead, dropping him like a sack of bricks.
[16:58] <Misha> A short-haired blonde girl stays behind to look at the cook Beryl had bound, puzzlement over her friend's imprisonment causing her to forego her attack.
[16:59] <Misha> A small brunette is not to be deterred, however, and charges at Beryl barehanded.
[17:00] <Misha> Alas, she can't hit her target, and ends up rushing past her, before turning around and glaring at the older girl.
[17:01] <Misha> As Beryl is about to relax, considering herself to be away from immediate danger, her senses alert her to an attack from her blind spot.
[17:02] <Misha> Beryl moves swiftly, and sends the deranged boy with a knife she had talked with before five of his fellow cooks decided to attack her into a wall. He impacts against it with a crunch, and slides down, whining, "You broke by doze!"
-- Second Round --
[17:11] * Beryl steps toward the barehanded brunette, kicking toward her stomach.
[17:13] <Misha> The poor girl is flung backwards from the force of Beryl's kick, landing on the floor two meters away and coughing violently.
[17:16] <Misha> As Beryl's back is turned on two other cooks with her attack, they use the opportunity to strike at her. The short-haired blonde charges at Beryl, while the only male cook still standing throws another plate at Beryl's back.
[17:17] <Misha> The blonde trips over one of the fragments from the first plate her friend had thrown, and slides on the floor all the way to Beryl, while the second plate flies too far to the right and breaks upon hitting the far wall.
[17:18] <Misha> The apprentice with the broken nose attempts to rise to his feet, but can't, and throws his knife at Beryl's side in desperation.
[17:19] <Misha> He sees his weapon fly true, and collapses on the floor with a contented smile, losing consciousness.
[17:22] <Misha> The knife flies dangerously close to Beryl's heart, but she manages to twist out of the way in time. She isn't able to prevent an injury completely, though, and the knife leaves a nasty cut in her side, before imbedding itself in a portrait of the great Master Cook, Bob, which hangs on the wall behind Beryl. Another casualty of the attack is Beryl's dress, the front of which is not torn and bloodied, and letting her underwear show.
[17:22] <Misha> OOC: Another 14 damage
-- Third Round --
[17:32] <Misha> With an impressive display of will, the violet-haired cook breaks the bind Beryl's dark magic had placed on her. She exchanges a glance with the man holding three plates in his arms, ready to be thrown, and hefts her frying pan. From her prone position on the ground next to Beryl, the short-haired cook raises her head, glaring defiantly at the older woman.
[17:33] <Misha> OOC: The knife guy is unconscious, and the guy hit by a plate in round one is out of action. The brunette is still coughing on the ground.
[17:35] <Misha> With a loud cry of raw anger, the boy suddenly throws all three plates at Beryl!
[17:41] <Misha> One of the plates goes wildly off course, exploding against the ceiling and covering the spacious corridor with dust, plaster and glass fragments. The other two, however, stay true on their courses. One plate hits Beryl's right shoulder, slicing through the straps of her dress and cutting deep into her flesh. The other hits lower, flying in an elliptic arc to slice the lower hem of Beryl's dress from right to left. There is no physical damage from the second plate, though Beryl's dress now ends at her waist. Her underwear is thankfully spared, which is a small comfort to the red-head.
[17:41] <Misha> OOC: Damage: 14
[17:45] * Beryl kicks the defiantly staring cook on the ground in the head, just enough to (hopefully) knock her out.
[17:46] <Misha> Beryl succeeds in her task, albeit breaking a heel in the process. The short-haired blonde is out like a light.
[17:47] <Misha> The cook with the frying pan charges at Beryl, spewing expletives. From what Beryl gathers, the girl she had just kicked is her best friend.
[17:48] <Misha> Beryl leaps back to avoid the swing of the frying pan, and is completely unharmed by the strike. Her dress is not so lucky, however, and finally falls apart as it's caught by the air pressure from the attack.
-- Fourth Round --
[17:52] <Misha> The violet-haired girl swings her frying pan in the opposite direction, surprising Beryl.
[17:54] <Misha> She smiles as her blow impacts against Beryl's face, but her expression is replaced by a frown, when the pan continues moving through Beryl's head. Realizing she only hit the other woman's afterimage, the cook looks around wildly for her opponent.
[17:56] * Beryl takes the opening, descending from above with a foot extended. "Diving Falcon Blow!" Beryl yells, hoping for a critical distraction.
[17:58] <Misha> The cook manages to spot Beryl before she hits her, but unfortunately has no time to work on her defense. The blow strikes true, and Beryl breaks her other heel on the violet-haired woman's chest, sending her flying backwards.
[18:00] <Misha> Left with no plates to throw, the male cook looks around for any weapons. Noticing the knife imbedded in a portrait halfway across the room, he makes a mad dash towards it.
[18:00] <Misha> OOC: That's his action for the round.
-- Fifth Round --
[18:03] <Misha> Grabbing on the knife's handle, the apprentice cook pulls it out of the wall, and then leaps at Beryl with a maniacal laugh.
[18:04] <Misha> Not being in his right mind, the man misses, running past Beryl, who is left blinking at his pathetic attempt to hit her.
[18:05] <Beryl> OOC: The frying pan lady on the floor or still standing?
[18:05] <Misha> OOC: In a sitting position on the floor. But she can still attack you.
[18:07] * Beryl focuses back on the frying pan lady, launching herself into the air and coming down at the woman.
[18:09] <Misha> The cook raises her pan to block Beryl's attack, but misjudges where Beryl would land. The large red-head lands on the other woman's stomach, her knees straddling her. The wind knocked out of her, the violet-haired cook coughs feebly.
[18:11] <Misha> OOC: Are you staying on top of the girl to incapacitate her?
[18:14] <Beryl> OOC: No. I get off.
[18:16] * Beryl again taps the powers arcane, another weave of magic focused on trapping Knife-boy forming in the ether.
[18:19] <Misha> As the knife-wielding cook charges Beryl, he is slowed down for a moment, but then pushes through, yelling profanities. He charges forwards, holding his knife at his stomach with both hands in order to impale the red-head.
[18:22] <Misha> Beryl's hands shoot out forward, and grasp the man's shoulders. He tries to charge forward like an enraged bull, but Beryl's considerable strength and fighting ability manages to keep him at bay.
[18:24] <Misha> A swishing sound alerts Beryl to another attack, and she turns her head to the right sharply, only to see the violet-haired cook hold her upper body above the ground with her left hand, her right one outstretched towards Beryl. Then, the red-head hears the swishing sound again, and notices the frying pan arcing towards her.
[18:26] <Misha> Midway between Beryl and the cook, the frying pan careens to the side, hitting the male cook in the arms and causing him to lose his weapon.
-- Sixth Round --
[18:32] <Misha> Having lost his knife due to an unfortunate encounter with a frying pan, the cook cries out in anger, and swings his arms outwards, trying to knock Beryl's hands away from his shoulders, while also kicking out with his foot at the red-head at the same time.
[18:33] <Misha> Once again, rage clouds the man's senses too much, turning his blows into ineffective.
[18:35] * Beryl attempts to grab him and spin, flinging him toward the frying pan chick.
[18:39] <Misha> Beryl successfully grabs the male cook, mashing her chest against his, and then spins around, letting go of him suddenly. He flies through the corridor, and lands on top of the violet-haired cook, who slaps him silly and kicks his unconscious form off of her.
[18:40] <Misha> With a glare at the trickle of blood leaving from the downed cook's nose, the violet-haired girl rises to her feet unsteadily, and assumes a stance unfamiliar to Beryl.
-- Seventh Round --
[18:49] * Beryl acts quickly, calling the threads of binding once again into being.
[18:51] <Misha> Beryl's dark magic succeeds this time, and stops the weary girl in her tracks. She keeps on glaring defiantly at her captor, but isn't able to move.
-- Eighth Round --
[18:53] * Beryl eyes the girl wearily. "Time to finish this." Beryl darts at her, aiming a spinning kick at her head.
[18:56] <Misha> Beryl spins on her left foot, kicking at the immobile cook's head. Her right foot impacts against the girl's cheek, and sends her flying into a wall. The other girl doesn't get up, as Beryl surveys her handiwork.
[18:58] <Misha> A croissant roll suddenly flies past Beryl's ear. Turning to follow its course involuntarily, Beryl sees it hit a frying pan held by a male apprentice cook, who Beryl remembers took a plate in the head at the beginning of the skirmish. "That's enough, David," a sharp female voice sounds through the corridor.
[18:59] <Misha> David salutes with the prying pan immediately, though careful not to drop the croissant.
[18:59] <Misha> OOC: And we pause for now. Sasha's finally arrived, and you'll have to decide whether to talk to her or bolt.
[19:00] <Misha> OOC: And she's still feeling iffy about being woken up so rudely, so annoy her too much, and we'll have Revenge of the Cooks!
