There he was- dear brother. It had been a while. Esti had ruled a kingdom and gotten the plague. She was better now, not that she appreciated running to Erani like that. Now, despite her best attempts, she smelled sorta like Valhalla and vomit. Lucky enough for her, she was quiet, and she could see her brother chewing on a bone. She wondered where he got these things. It seemed like he always had some sort of prize, and every time he was way over-possessive about it. Knowing that, Esti knew she had to have the bone. There was simply no other way.
Esti worked her way around, finding something that could be a distraction. Part of her thought that if only she could toss him another bone, she could steal his before he turned around and, of course, jealousy would ensue. She couldn't find any bones, just the red rocks of the land, scattered everywhere, and too discolored to pass as bones.
In her frustration, she picked one up and threw it as far as she could. It clacked and clattered as it tumbled against the walls. Her cover was blown! Esti looked towards her brother, slinking for cover, but surprisingly he was occupied with where the rock had landed. Gruffly, he rose and made his way to the spot it had tumbled to, nosing around it. Is that all she had to do to distract him? Well, he didn't have to know it was a mistake.
Esti went for the bone as quickly and as quietly as she could, grabbing it and laying down in his resting spot with it. 'Ooh, still warm.' Esti laughed inwardly and began chewing on the bone. It was old and tasted mostly of Laufey spit, but if she could just get his attention... As her brother turned around, Esti searched to make eye contact, her jaw clamping down on the edge of the bone as hard as she could while still smirking. With any luck the bone would give out with a loud crack, hopefully right as her brother laid eyes on her.

Laufey went for it, and Esti retaliated. Since her brother wanted the bone, she wanted it more. The tug of war went on, both just about matched in size and weight, not to mention determination. There were no words between the two, just threatening growls. Esti pulled with her hind legs almost in a sitting position, her rump only off the ground by the force of her brother's pulling.
Her paws stayed stuck to the ground, but slowly, slowly, the bone began to shift under Esti's jaws. She was going to lose it. The bone was going to slip. The bone couldn't slip! A growl rumbled in Esti's throat as she gave the bone one last tug, tucking her tail and lowering her ears, hoping to cause her brother to pull back just as hard and fall backwards. Without hesitation, Esti lunged at her brother, fangs bared and eyes scrunched, aiming to pin him and get a good hold on the flabbier parts of the side of his neck. She didn't want to kill him, she just wanted to stun him long enough to snatch up his bone again. How Laufey reacted to the fight would determine how seriously the rest of the fight played out, but Esti wasn't worried, they were siblings after all.

Esti found herself on top of her brother, his arms around her neck. From a distance, it might look like they were hugging... Really violently. Her teeth had hit their mark, but the hold wasn't anything amazing. She had the advantage by being on top, but her brother was otherwise matched perfectly to her.
Before she had much of a chance, her brother returned an attack. He bit into the right side of her face, his teeth biting on either side of the base of her ear, right above her cheek. The tender skin was protected by fur, but only enough to guard from serious injury. Blood trickled from the wound into her ear, giving her the urge to shake her head and causing her eyes and nose to crinkle as she resisted. A growl pulled through her chest, but was cut short as Laufey rammed her stomach. Esti felt bile rise into her throat as she audibly gagged, letting her grip on her brother go, causing her head falling into an odd position from Laufey's grip near her ear. Her vision tunneled slightly, and then went red.
Esti's shoulders rolled as she tried to jolt downward, aiming to drop her weight fully on her brother while her head twisted to get another grip on the main portion of his neck, right in the middle; hopefully a more painful grip than the first time. Her ears stayed back, afraid of giving her brother more room to attack. The two were in gridlock, neither having much room to move. If she could slam down on Laufey, maybe his grip would break and Esti could pull away, or maybe if she got a good grip on his neck, she could strangle him into submission, it didn't matter to her. Her fur was raised in anger, her eyesight oddly sharp and red. This was anger like Esti had never felt before, though maybe she was caught in the moment. She was totally caught in the moment.

Esti made the drop on her brother. His legs went out from under her and, instinctively, Esti's tail attempted to tuck against her stomach. The feel of his form flailing out beneath her was satisfying, but the taste of blood on her tongue was much more exciting. Her bite had hit, and though it bled, her brother didn't seem to lose focus. He let go of her ear and rolled his neck, making the hold on his neck much harder to keep. In her focus, Esti kept her face scrunched and her ears back. As much as she was okay with her brother, she wasn't going to let him get a good grip on her, especially not now with the force of the fight clouding her mind.
A growl rippled against her tongue, and it took Esti a moment to realize that the growl was not her own, but her brother's. She soon felt his back feet press against her tail and stomach, his front paws still around her neck. Her rump slowly lifted from the ground and Esti attempted to root herself, trying to bite down on Laufey's neck. Regardless, the girl was lifted, and she struggled to get her forepaws beneath her to gain some leverage. Finally, as a last resort, she let go of her brother's neck, attempting to whip her head back and avoid toppling. She didn't. As her brother moved, Esti felt his teeth graze her left cheek sharply, scraping the flesh. Though they had missed the mark of her ear, she felt their sting in her cheek. Esti was then shifted and she landed squarely on her left side, the dull thud causing her breath to rush out of her forcefully for a moment.
As she struggled to get her breath, Esti double checked her body, tucking her neck for good measure; nothing seemed broken. The girl's breath came back with a snarl as she attempted to free herself from her brother at first, his forelegs still locked around her on both sides. Then another thought came to her head and she tried to dive for his nose. At the distance they were at, she didn't have many options, and she needed to stun him before trying to climb out of his "cage". She aimed to bite quickly, bite hard, hopefully on his sensitive nose, and then roll to her right. She didn't need a good grip, she would let go to roll if her bite made its mark. She tried to tuck her paws to her chest, hoping to defend the area and make escape easier. Esti made sure her ears were tucked, and as she scrunched her face, Esti felt again the sting of her left cheek. She knew she only had once chance to get this right. The two were too close to risk stretching out much, an attack-and-go might help to distance them from each other. If hitting Laufey's face didn't make him let go, maybe attacking his legs would.

OOC: I asked Iko to clarify how Esti was laying in her third paragraph after she attempted to free herself and she said Esti is laying on her left side still so I've based Laufey's response around that.
OOC: Finally done! Sorry for the wait! I'll post this in Judging ASAP.

Esti v Laufey for Dominance and the bone Round 1
Esti: 0 for clarity- -1 I'm not sure how her pulling on the bone would topple him, now letting go of it sure, make sure to mention though that she let go or she wouldn't be able to attack with her jaws -2 what angle is she approaching Laufey, I know it's probably straight on but you have to specify so no one makes assumptions xD -4 how's she planning to pin him? with her legs? her body? flip him on his back? his side? -2 where specifically on his neck is she aiming? -2 what is she trying to grab his neck with? again i'm assuming jaws but you can't leave it open for me to assume you must state specifically -2 which side of his neck is she attacking? 10 for powerplaying. none seen, nice work 4 for defenses.+1 for each seen 2 for attack. +1 for pin attempt (points deducted for numerous clarity issues) +1 for bite (points deducted for multiple clarity issues) 10 for injuries. first round Round one Total: 26/50 Laufey: 1 for clarity--2 what part of Esti hit him? if your opponent fails to be specific its up to you, an excellent time to use their move against them! -2 where on his neck did the bite land? -1 what do you mean "snaked his head to the left"? how is he twisting his head? minor thing that bugs luns xD -2 what side of Esti's neck is he aiming to bite? -2 a little more clarification for "below ribs" would nice. that's a wide area. are you aiming right below the sternum? ribs on the left? the right? 7 for powerplaying.-2 you need to attempt to wrap his forelegs around her neck -1 not sure I find it believable or not that the bite did not break skin did he move in some way to avoid the attack or cause it to not be fully successful? 1 for defenses.+1 for each seen -2 for not readjusting balance when front paws lifted 4 for attack. +1 arm wrap (points deducted for pp) +2 for bite (-1 for clarity) +1 kick (points deducted for clarity) 10 for injuries. first round Round one Total: 23/50 Round 2
Esti: 3 for clarity- -2 how is she jolting downward? like straight down? Is she dropping completely? or is she crouching suddenly? -2 which way is her head twisting? -2 which side of his neck is she aiming for? -1 how would this grip strangle him? 7 for powerplaying.-1 the fur is thin near the base of the ear so the damage would likely be greater but good job with realistic damage to the other attacks! -2 watch the "if" statements at the end. you don't want to assume anything til your opponent actually reacts. 4 for defenses.+1 for each seen 3 for attack.+1 dropping weight down (points deducted for clarity) +2 for bite (points deducted for clarity) 7 for injuries. -1 bleeding near base of ear -2 kick to gut/ribs Round two Total: 24/50 Laufey: 2 for clarity- -2 how exactly is laufey positioned in relation to Esti? his back legs are on either side of her but where in relation to her? either side of her hips? her shoulders? -2 what part of her is pressing on him, you mention jaws hit fur? or is this just your previous attack? later you mention he released her ear -2 where on his neck did her attack connect? -2 what side of his neck? 8 for powerplaying.-2 still need an attempt for the front limbs something like "he attempted to keep his arms around her neck" or something 7 for defenses.+1 each seen, much better! 6 for attack.+2 for kick +2 attempt to roll her over the side +2 for bite (point deducted as the ears are pinned so this attack will be particularly tricky but overall good work!) 8 for injuries.-2 damage to middle of neck Round two Total: 31/50 Round 3
Esti: 2 for clarity- -2 how is she positioned over laufey? you say her legs went out from under her is she spread-eagle? xD -2 which way did she twist her body -2 where are his forelegs around, again I can probably assume around her neck but you have to specifically say, just part of how it's done on ala. -2 attacking his legs? I'm not sure what to make of that sentence at the end 7 for powerplaying. -3 this could be a clarity issue but you have her try to bite his neck then say she let go this is assuming the attack landed 5 for defenses. +1 for each found 3 for attack. +3 bite to nose 7 for injuries. -2 kick to the gut -1 light bite wound Round Three Total: 24/50 Laufey: 5 for clarity--2 what angle is he at in relation to Esti? -3 how his he getting a paw against her shoulder blades when she's on her side? Do you mean right next to? Same with the other paw is the paw actually "on" Esti or just near? If they aren't on her how is the positioning intended to keep her pinned? -2 what is his intent with the bite to the nose? is it for a grip? just a nip? 6 for powerplaying.-4 you need to include an attempt to have your paws positioned on her otherwise it negates the whole point of him attempting to stand over her. 6 for defenses.+1 for each seen -2 for not adjusting balance when leg lifted 5 for attack. +2 for butt scratches (lol) +3 bite to nose 8 for injuries.-2 bite to nose, extra point removed for damage to sensitive area Round Three Total: 30/50 Totals:
Esti: 74/150 Laufey: 84/150 And the winner is...
Laufey! Esti must give up by either submitting, fleeing, or passing out. Damage:
Minor bites will take a few ooc days to heal the deeper ones will take an ooc week. Overall not many serious wounds so you're wolves should be up and going in no time. Notes:
Fun fight guys! I think "hugging? really violently" is my favorite line I've read in a fight thus far. Both of you just really need to focus on clarity, I know a lot of things can be more or less assumed but judges are not allowed to go on assumptions. Also note that if your opponent fails to be specific it's up to you to do so. I know this can be tricky but it's important to avoid later confusion in a fight, it's also an opportunity to turn an attack against your opponent. - By [Lunarcat7]
