Commoner? No, this can't go on any longer. Sinister will see to that she is promoted to a decent tier, and putting forth the effort to call upon the Arcanum Queen. Whether or not she had any reasons to be doing so, it was in the socipathic dame that she addresses Cataleya. Something told her that this won't barrel over to well without some kind of fight, maybe, who knew. The Queen and her were on an even scale, although anything could happen when Sinister is pushed to far. Her bicuspids were showing a great deal today, and with the still blood-stained tint that they flaunted told their stories about her dispute with an unknown masculine. The one who deprived her from the graceful gait she once had, replacing it with a slight limb in her left fore-carpus. Her shoulder was not only damaged but it too was well bruised, though she'd love to set her gems upon that male again just so she can take what is rightfully hers. Something she didn't get the chance too before, she wanted his tongue. Just a little prized possession she can keep to ensure that if she were fucked with again she'd have yet another one added to her collection. Sashaying towards the plains, whence she hasn't been through yet, and it seemed like the perfect place to meet up with her formal "friend". At that instant Sinister made heist instantaneously at the calling of her Queen. Crown tipped back, spine aligning neatly with her cranium and while doing so a velvet howl expelled from her lips. Her torso was tightening before the end of the sequence, silencing her reckoning after a moment later, lowering her skull in order to settle back on her haunches and await for the dame to appear from the darkness. OOC: This is the best I can do love, Its late here and I'm tired. But my muse will progress and get better don't worry <33 ""

The call that echoed across the plains would beckon her to the source. Silver stilts would carry her until a familiar face began to form. Sinister. A smirk would curl her lips as she brought herself to a halt before the woman. She was waiting for her call. There was no doubt that the rank of commoner did not sit well with the woman. Their first meeting had be interesting to say the least, the woman was a ball of fire and power. "Sinister, what can I do you for?" She would coo. A brow would lift as she waited for the obvious to be stated. The Queen had already begun to think of where she would place the woman. Did she want to be a warrior? Or did she want power? Anticipation for a fight flooded her system. This woman didn't appear to be the type that would take the rank of hunter or healer. She was fighter, without a doubt. A friendly spar would determine exactly where she would be placed within the ranks. But she needed to do more than win, she needed to make an impression on the silver Queen. Her tail would sway idly at her hocks, waiting for the woman to speak. Saliva began to pool in her mouth at the thought of a fight. It had been far to long since she had a chance to battle a worthy opponent, the idea called to her like a siren. Muscles would ripple with anticipation beneath her thick pelt.

A call came out from the echoing sirens of astonishing thunder, the ones that split the nearly night sky with its talons. Sinister would cradle her skull in the direction as followed the silhouette of her Queen, body arched almost as if she were asking for a fight -- and that might be true since the alabaster women was again here to prove herself. There would be no excuses as too why she should be higher tier, 'tis true many have grown to know this sociopathic dame as a fighter not a lover. She was a titan, a Goddess of Death, nothing feared her; though that is certainly unorthodox she is terrified of her father.

Crucifying, and yet saturating growls sparked almighty power in the depths of her larynx, her tongue still held the fair share of blood spilled from her recent fight and as her carpus and scapula weren't in any condition to be worn as tragedies in a battle. Sinister wasn't going to back down if that it what she had to do. Upon Cataleya's arrive the masculine babe anchored herself to the ground, crown held up high in an effort to make her pride become unmistakable. Racks upon racks of muscle pigments shifted abruptly by the second while trying to think thoroughly. At this point Sin parted her lips to allow cold tidings spew between crimson bicuspids. "What is it that I have to do in claiming my rightful title in this bloody pack? Thou cannot position such greatness, thy eyes see I have more potential than a pitiful commoner?"

"Speech"
'thoughts'

The woman was appalled with her rank, all but demanding a new one. A humorless chuckle rolled off her tongue as she peered down at the woman. The preparation to fight was evident in her stance, her pale bodice would coiled, ready to attack at any moment. "Very well darling, lets see your potential?" Her skull would lower to align with her spin, chin tucking as her shoulders rolled forward to add extra fat around her throat. Ears pinned against the skull, eyes narrowed, her hackles would lift while lips peeled back to reveal ivory daggers. Her tail would align with her spine, ready to act as a rudder. Limbs would spread equidistant and bend at the joint while toes splayed and claws dug into the ground for traction. Jaws would unhinge slightly against her throat. A low guttural growl would rumble from her larynx. "Your move baby doll." Her abdominal muscles would tighten in preparation for the incoming attacking. Muscles would ripple beneath her pelt with sick anticipation. Adrenaline flooded her system, kicking her heart into overdrive and hitching her breathe. Several feet stood between them as the air crackled with tension. OOC: I'm good with 3-4 feet between them.

FIGHT STARTS AT *** She's taunting you Sinister, you might as well attack. Prove. Prove. Prove. That's all she could think of, she has done this many times before why couldn't she just do it one last time. For the sake of her her pride, and her title she might as well. No matter the price she may have to pay, these bloody wounds crusading her bodice will not stop her from claiming a different rank. So with the Queen's miens being put into play, she'd watch as the other pale women positioned herself -- obviously resetting her defenses in order to prepare for Sinister's move. And thus, with the crackling storms over yonder, it was the commencement of something sinister. *** Shoulders rolled forth in order to protect her throat, muscles hitching together in the fore-seeing will of a spring. Claws ejected to canvas the earths bedding material, bicuspids were now flashing -- showing whatever savage appeal they could pull off. Her ears and tail were pinned, neatly aligning with her spine and her skull lowering to hook in the crevasse of her heart-shaped chest. Legs finely spread out to even out her weight so she wasn't lopsided on either side, this then came forth her battle stance. Time was of the essence and she only had a limit amount to prove her worth, so she made no further speeches and got right down to business. As her body pulled back slightly, recovering herself in an effort to lunge towards her prey. Like the titan she was her enormous bodice clashed with Cataleya's, her right side went to slam into her left in a single attempt to sweep her off her feet from impact though the women seemed well anchored to the ground (may or may not be effective). After Sinisters body crashing into hers, the beast would instantaneously crank her crown in a brutal effort to clasp hold of Cataleya's right shoulder. If her attack was successful she'd pierce sharp ivories into the womens' epithelium, hoping to lacerate some flesh from the scapula area. SINISTER vs. CATALEYA round ONE of TWO FOR SPAR(?) Defenses: Second paragraph. Attacks: Third Paragraph. Injuries: none yet. OOC: Sorry for such a terrible start of a fight. I'm being rushed so don't have time to make a better one >.< "Speech"

No words would be wasted. Coral pools would harden as she watched her opponent fall into a defensive stance. Her blood thundered in her ears, her pulse raced. She would watch closely as the woman leaned back for launching herself forward. The woman moved to her (cats) right, with every intention of forcing a collision. A snarl ripped from her jaws as she launched herself forward in an attempt to meet the woman mid launch. She would step to her right, in an attempt to overlap their chests (so cats shoulder is almost centered but more so to the right of sinisters chest). She would simultaneously jut her right shoulder forward, aiming to ram the dense bone into the vulnerable soft spot between her opponents left shoulder and chest cavity. No matter what, a heavy bruise would flare upon the point of her shoulder and right sided chest area. Pale jaws would flash in the corner of her eye before pain flared across her right shoulder. Fangs sunk into the upper portion of her right shoulder, meeting its intended mark. The wound was far from life threatening, only a moderate injury that would heal without issue. Following the bite to her shoulder, her own silver jaws would gape, tongue rolling angrily and thirsting for blood. She aimed to grab a hold of the upper left portion of her opponents neck. She wanted her fangs to sink into the flesh of her pale scruff (more to sins left sided scruff). In sync with her jaws, her left forelimb would lift, aiming to hook around her opponents upper left forelimb, near the elbow. Her weight would readjust accordingly to her remaining three limbs in an attempt to keep her balance stable. Her goal was to wrap around the back of the appendage so that she could hopefully pull it out from under the white wench. She wanted to see this woman fall, she wanted to hear the gratifying thud of her body hitting the earth with unforgiving force. All the while defenses remained in tact. Eyes were narrowed, ears pinned and hackled raised. Her skull was level with her spine and her chin was tucked against her throat. Her tail aligned with spine, ready to act as a rudder, while limbs spread equidistant bent and the joint, her weight was carefully and evenly distributed across all four legs, then three after her attempted to hook her opponents limb. Her toes would splay while claws dug into the ground for traction, all while her shoulders rolled forward to push extra fat and fur around her throat and her neck scrunched for the same reason. CATALEYA vs SINISTER for RANK/SPAR: round 1/2 ATTACKS: jutting her right shoulder forward, aiming to wedge the thick bone into the soft spot between Sins shoulder and chest. Bite to the upper left side of Sibs scruff. Aiming to hook her left leg around Sins front left leg, near the elbow so that she might be able to pull it forward and disrupt her balance. DEFENSES: eyes narrowed, ears pinned, hackles raised, head level with spine, chin tucked, tail aligned with spine, legs spread equidistant and bent at the joint, toes splayed, claws digging into ground, shoulders rolled forward, neck scrunched, core tightened INJURIES: heavy bruise to the point of her right shoulder and the right portion of her chest. moderate bite wound to right upper shoulder (scapula).

Pain coursed through Sinister's being, she could feel her previous wounds risking herself this loss of a fight. Though she wouldn't give in that easily, and feeling the very ivories of Cataleya's canines seep into her own flesh would summon something insidious. No longer did she feel the gushing blood on her scruff, all the pale women saw was red and thus the sequence of a black-out came into play. The others dames paw seemed to drape around the whole of Sinisters left leg in an attempt to disable her balance and bring her down. Though as she was not in the mood to greet the earth again with a loud clash, the titan tightened her muscles -- anchoring herself firmly to the ground and keeping her defenses set in stone while yanking her appendage from Cats grasp. Cataleya had a tight grasp onto Sinisters scruff, and although the two were face-to-face with fangs locked onto one anothers skin, it was clear that the two were well matched in matters of a battle goes. Still that didn't change anything, Sinister released Cat for a moment only to latch herself back down. This time her bicuspids hoped to drill down into the middle of Cataleya's atlas(near her upper thorax). Should her teeth make contact would her grip lock in an effort to neither be loosened or torn away, if anything Cataleya would be risking her life if she dared to escape her. Sinister of course had no ill-intentions on killing the dame, only claiming a higher rank and she promised to prove herself worthy and that is what she is doing. Correct? So, her defenses were still in tact, legs firmly leveled and weight even to keep her balance as best she could. Phalanges sunk into the earth as claws kept embedding into the thick tissue of soil, while her tail was aligned with her spine and her shoulders rolled forth once again to protect her throat and neck for any further alterations. Her body ached immensely as she came back, realizing her structure and methods on Cataleya, but never made a move to disengage. SINISTER vs. CATALEYA round TWO of TWO FOR SPAR/RANK Defenses: Body is well anchored to the ground, four limps spread out evenly to keep weight leveled. Tail positioned neatly with spine and phalanges(toes) gripped to the earth while daggers torn into the soil in effort to keep herself in contact to the ground. Shoulders rolled to help provide more muscle tissue and fat near her throat and neck. Attacks: After releasing herself from Cats scapula she'd readjust her tactics and drive daggers into Cats atlas which is located near the upper thorax. May be determined if this is successful or not. Injuries: Bruising to scruff along with minor bite wounds from where Cats fangs made contact. OOC: Ask questions if you are confused darling <33 "Speech"

She would be met with the wonderful taste of blood. Fangs would sink into pale flesh and she would immediately clench her jaws in an attempt to keep her opponents scruff locked between her jaws. Her leg would also be successful in its endeavor, however, the dame would yank it back and so the Queen would relent, only briefly, allowing the woman to keep the appendage. Her left forelimb would immediately settle back on the ground, reestablishing her balance and distributing her weight evenly. Her opponents jaws would relent, only fractionally and for the briefest of moments. Using that moment, the Queen would lift herself up onto hind legs, both hind limbs spreading wider for better balance. Simultaneously, she would attempt to thrust forward and into her opponents chest. This would cause pale jaws to retain their first grip along her right upper shoulder, rather than moving up her neck. This would also cause her previous would to become slightly more severe, more puncture wounds piercing her flesh. As forelimbs left the ground, both would lift, in an attempt to bear hug her opponent. She would aim to wrap her paws around Sins shoulders, just behind her shoulder blades. She would then toss her skull to her left in an attempt to jerk her opponents neck back into an uncomfortable angle. She hoped that combination of her weight against her opponents chest, and the jerking of her skull would be enough to cause the woman to crumble beneath her. All the while defenses remained in tact. Her eyes narrowed, ears pinned, hackles lifted. Her head remained leveled with her spine as much as possible, her chin tucked as much as possible. Limbs spread equidistant and bent at the joint, toes splayed and claws digging into the ground. Her was straight and aligned with her spine, acting as a rudder.

(-3) also, with cat?s attempt to wrap her left forelimb around sin?s left forelimb, i pictured that to be quite awkward and improbable, as cat would have to reach across the entirety of her own body to reach sin?s left forelimb. it would make more sense if she attempted to wrap it around sin?s right forelimb, which is in reach and presumably right in front of her left forelimb (-2). powerplay -- 8 out of 10 ; ?no matter what, a heavy bruise would flare?? minor powerplay, essentially assuming that her shoulder will successfully impact sin (-2). defenses -- 10 out of 10 ; eyes narrowed, ears pinned, hackles raised, skull lowered, chin tucked, tail out, limbs spread evenly apart, limbs bent to lower center of gravity, weight equally distributed among grounded limbs, toes splayed, nails gripping, shoulders rolled, neck scrunched. attack -- 5 out of 10 ; attempt to lodge her right shoulder blade into the natural groove located between sin?s chest and left shoulder (+2, point subtracted for clarity issue). attempt to bite sin?s upper left-sided scruff area (+2, point subtracted for clarity issue). attempt to wrap her left forelimb around sin?s upper left forelimb in hopes of upsetting sin?s balance (+1, points subtracted for improbability). injuries -- 10 out of 10 ; first round, moderate wounds to right shoulder, pending damage from counter. round one cataleya total --- 36 out of 50 ROUND TWO SINISTER --- clarity -- 1 out of 10 ; where upon sin?s scruff did cat grip and how much damage was done to sin because of it?

DAMAGE sinister -- heavy bruising to crease in between left shoulder and leftwards chest, will complicate movement for three ooc days. moderate puncture wounds to left-sided upper scruff, will take three ooc days to heal. cataleya -- deep puncture wounds to right shoulder, will complicate movement for four ooc days. NOTES Tips for both writing, and some suggestions. (no points are deducted here) there was an instance on both of your parts where i used a "judge's deduction" for injuries, which is essentially compensating for the injuries you did not specify/did not take. make sure to detail these injuries and respond to every attack made against your character, because that does some nasty damage to your powerplaying scores! judging by [ aly ]
