(Yeah. If you're not here more than 5 times a week, don't bother, or if you plan to go on vacation, or whatever.) (Bleah. The image looks betetr in paint.) The setting is a house, under construction. 2 stories tall, many carpentry tools laying about the house. There are paint cans and painting utensils all around. Several rooms are nothing more than a wooden frame. No basement, but has a fireplace, unlit. Ai sits on the steps, halfway covered in carpeting, directly across from the door. He is dressed in light green, torn jeans. He has a "Master of Puppets" shirt on, covered by a grey pull-over hooded sweatshirt. He has two melee weapons, a mace, and a cutlass."Melee ONLY match. No weapons more than 3½ feet long, meaning no polearms. Try to keep it to a Western Medeival style. The entire house is usable for a fight, even the little bit of a backyard there is. I want an active memeber, cuz most of my other fights were dropped by people who rarely came..."

*Aries shifts his way through the brush outside, his minature arsenal over his back, wearing a fedora.*
Fighting his way past three cases of malaria, river blindness, and savage Mikita Warriors, our hero, Indiana Aries, finally comes to his destination...
*parts the brush.*
...The Two-By-Four Temple of Pine.
*grins in at the house, then takes off his hat, shucks his bag from his shoulder and unrolls it on the ground. He then begins picking out weaponry from the swords and other weapons contained therein.*
We must make the right appearance, of course...t'would be a downright shame if an Aries showed up for a fight without the right awn-som-ble...!
*picks up a huge axe.*
Nah...too formal for dinner...
*sets axe aside, and picks up a Samurai sword.*
Oooh...tempting...
*He sets the sword aside, then picks up a German hand-and-a-half sword.*
Oooooooh...mustn't!
*He sets it aside, then picks up a twin pair of shorter samurai swords.*
Ah...primo balance with the right offensive and defensive capabilities...and yummy-yummy silk-wrapped handles for an extra-comfortable grip.
*He grins, slides the swords into his belt, curves-up, then kicks in the door.*
Someone order a pizza?!!!

Ai grabs a loose piece of wood off of the handle, and throws it at Aries. He hops off the stair, and dashes off into a room being painted. He puts the cutlass in it's sheath, and wields his mace.
"Is it cheese?"
(I'll come up with a map soon.)

*Aries automatically raises his arms over his head, the wood bouncing off, as Ai runs into the next room. Still in the doorway, Aries lets his eyes slip over to where Ai ran to, then slowly pulls one sword from its sheath, then the other.*
Natch...
*He works the both of them through a backwards loop to warm up, then begins walking across the foyer towards the room...*

Ai runs out at Aries, swinging in a large arc, going down vertically, but making sure to keep his distance.
"I'm glad you're the one who accepted this challenge."

*At Ai's charge, Aries literally flips backwards, his feet landing on the bannister of the staircase. Ai's strike overextends him, carrying him downwards along with his mace, while Aries literally slides down the bannister as if her were skating, his left sword held before him, his right sword held above him.*
That'll change.
*As he slides down into range, his right blade comes down for a slash at Ai's kidneys.*

Ai rolls out of the way of Aries' slash, toawrds the door. He kicks himself up, wasting no time, and prods at Aries with his mace. Whether it hit or not doesn't matter to Ai, as he jogs backwards, and exchanges his mace for his cutlass.
"Maybe..."

*Aries's slash carries through as his feet hit the deck again. He looks up to see Ai heading out the door, comes up, points his left blade at Ai, his right down by his side, and slowly stalks after him all imposing-like.*

Ai makes a mad-dash at Aries, and takes a swing at him as he passes by, but is really headed for the hallway next to the stairs. He leaps over the stairs, and slams into the hallway wall. He keeps moving towards the kitchen, before stopping.

*Aries, however, brings his left blade in, parrying Ai's cutlass strike, forcing his mace upwards. His right blade comes down under Ai's arm, aiming for his leg. Ai runs past, stopping just before the kitchen.*
*Aries looks over at him and grins, raising his right blade, which has a pretty fair portion of jeans material, most of a shoelace, and a little shoe leather on it.*
*He grins, then shakes it off.*
*Meanwhile, a small vertical cut on Ai's now-bared calf bursts open and begins to trickle blood down towards his sock.*

Ai rubs his leg with his free hand, mending the wound. He shakes his head, and slowly approaches Aries.

*Aries grins, then settles into his ready stance again, left side out, left blade out, right blade up, points towards Ai.*
Yeah...c'mon...trade a few blows with Aries...

Ai makes a slow move towards Aries, and makes a fast strike with his cutlass, his hand on his mace, ready to deflect incoming blows.

*Aries sees it coming, his mind tracking over his knowledge of bladed weaponry as he catches the cutlass on his left blade and begins pushing it back against Ai.*
Lessee...the cutlass be a vicious weapon, but it really doesn't have all that much in the way of an attack strategy...just cutting. Can't stab, and it really isn't built for withstanding blows, and it sure as hell ain't no Zorro-sword because it's so heavy. Just cuts. The mace is a little more disconcerting, since it has a little more mobility in the ways of swinging than the cutlass, but it smashes anything in its way. Aries'll need to stay away from it entirely...
*He grins, then keeps pushing Ai's blade, and Ai, backwards, the blades of the cutlass and the katana set against each other.*

Ai puts no resistance to Aries' push backwards, fearing the blades will seperate contact, allowing Aries to strike him...and damnit, katanas cut like nothing else...Ai had to make a fast move. Might as well do it now...He swung his mace in a wide arc with his opposite hand, very quickly, aimed at Aries' head.
