Heroes of Light, Battle! The Ultimate Golsaucian Tournament Begins!
Who: The Heroes of Light!
When: June 16th-19th
Where: Sparks Golsaucia
What: After weeks of getting hounded by the press, corporations, and prospective fiances, Octavaux Dairesault offers the Heroes of Light a way out: by participating in this year's Golsaucian Gauntlet, taking the form of a fighting tournament.
Warnings/Notes: Tournament arc, congoers.
An Offer You Can't Refuse (Prelude)
It starts not long after June begins. Maybe somebody proposes to you in the middle of the street. Or you're bumrushed by a horde of solicitors who want to use your image for whatever product they're peddling. Or maybe a reporter literally busts down your door to get an interview. Whatever the case, the Heroes soon find it's impossible to find a semblance of peace and quiet in early June. Around every corner and in every building is somebody who is just dying to talk to you, or more commonly, several somebodies, each at cross purposes. Even your homes aren't safe, as a few particularly nutty fans are willing to break and enter to get your autograph.
You have to deal with all of this for a week, until you're contacted by Octavaux Dairesault, organizer of the previous year's smash hit Golsaucian Gauntlet. He's noticed (and perhaps orchestrated) your plight, and offers you a way out: simply participate in his tournament and/or the events around it, and the attention will lessen. Considering how things get worse every day, you don't have a lot of options...

As it turns out, the events around the tournament that Octavaux casually mentioned are really a huge, city-spanning con. Cosplayers are everywhere. Artist alley takes up two entire districts. You can't take two steps without bumping into a merchandise stall. Thankfully, the limos Octavaux has provided means that you don't have to fight your way through a horde of ravening fans to reach the centerpiece of the whole debacle: the arena. A massive Colosseum with bleeding-edge technology to allow for the creation of stages drawn from... something. Octavaux refuses to elaborate on that. Whatever the case, you finally have the respite that you need. There's delicious food, cushy bedrooms, exercise rooms... pretty much whatever you want. And best of all, nobody prying into your business. How will you spend your precious, precious free time?
Of course, the tournament isn't all some of you are here for. Maybe you've decided to host a panel, in which case you're contractually obligated to appear among thousands upon thousands of fans and give a spiel. And give autographs. Lots of autographs. With really weird requests too.
Whatever the case... the tournament is about to begin!

Long enough for the little robot to tug at his leg and send Richard scrambling down in an undignified heap between Finn's thighs, and then between his shins. He reached up and tried to grab at Finn's leg to salvage the situation somewhat. His trousers, his boots, began to whirr and hum and glow bright blue along the seams.
> Whirlwind (Self)
Sacrifice a turn to reduce damage received by 50% and allow the use of two skills back to back next turn. Unlocks fifth and sixth Chakras.
no subject
Tyzias Status: 87.6% HP, -10% ATK, -10% DEF
The troll grits her teeth and shoulder-checks Maul, breaking the lock, and returns his blows with interest. Five steel lines shred through the air, but when Maul blocks two of them, Tyzias decides it's time to switch tactics.
So she steps back and shoots him three times, even scoring a critical hit.
Maul Health: 73.6%
Tyzias fires again twice as she once more dissects Maul's stance and technique, [Careful Study]ing him.
> Careful Study (Maul | Single Target)
Applies the studied status to a target and may follow up with a weak physical combo. The legislacerator track studied targets with uncanny accuracy. This skill can be used to attack and study two targets when the job is mastered.
no subject
He gets some distance between them, though, putting Conway between himself and the building's edge. BB-8 gets in one more [Sic] move with his little taser on Conway before taking off after Finn, towards the fight between Maul and Tyzias. The plan is to summon someone to help them out, handle this quickly, but he has to get away from the building's edge first.
> Sic | (Conway | Single Target)
Makes the puppet use their default, weak attack.
no subject
Richard tries to lift himself. The robot wasn't having it. He let off a sigh, and then stamped his foot on the ground. There came a upward, electronic portamento from his boots as he gives BB-8 a sidewards tilt of the head and an almost apologetic look.
"Look, no hard feelings."
He takes the robot, and then, with an explosive flash of [Holy Chakra] from one of his Gatecrashers, gives it a solid explosive boot; at first Maul's head, and then pinging off him to go right back at Finn.
This, of course, does not improve his situation on the ledge. He is, in fact, reeling as if he were just about to fall off, barely holding on by one foot. His face begins to break out into cold sweat. His lips begins to lose color as he bites the lower one.
Whatever's out there, please let this work.
There is a second detonation. Richard had heard tale of the elusive video game tactic.
The principle of the rocket jump.
He hurdles uncontrollably at Finn, looking incredibly worried. He eventually manages to tell his body to clumsily turn this into a [Tackle]. If he were the vocal type right now, he'd be screaming.
> Holy Chakra (All Targets | AOE) Holy-element combo dealing medium damage to all targets. Requires three Chakras to be unlocked and subsequently locks them back.
> Tackle (Finn | Single Target) Deals low damage to a single target but closes the gap. Unlocks the first and second Chakras.
