Goodnight, Sleeptight, Don't let the dead bite

At last, the woman managed to ground the beast beneath her and with that in mind she relinquished her grip on his flesh momentarily. She threw her weight completely onto her hind legs as she had prepared to do earlier, quickly halting her momentum. Figuring that her tail would not be enough to protect her, she lightly pivoted her body past parallel and barely facing her left, both hind legs minutely to Oddity's left side. As he moved to try and bring his paws from about her shoulders to against her chest to keep her from him, she lowered her upper bodice slightly to make it to where he'd have to bend his legs and then push outwards if he wished for the motion to succeed, rather than just shifting his angle and keeping his legs straight to make it work. With her head still lowered from her earlier attack, she spied his jaws snap towards her right paw and she instinctively kicked her back right leg outwards to her right to keep herself propped up. Her ears pinned tighter and a snarl trickled from her maw as she attempted to pull her leg out of range but didn't have nearly enough time. She hissed, her tail flicking in its stationary position from under her, as his jaws clamped down on her paw and ankle and then pulled. The conflicting motions--her pull backwards of her paw and his to her left--caused his teeth to leave painful scores down the planes of her paw as his grip dragged downwards, catching and stopping at her toes in a matter of not even a second.

She was not able to prevent his bite but moved immediately to counter it as soon as she saw him making the move, ignoring the kicking of his legs due to her changed position, as his left leg only lightly ruffled the fur on her left side as it brushed her. Jupiter's mouth gaped once more in her movement and she tilted her head a bit to the left, her angle already aided by her earlier shift and now by the tilt. She attempted to clamp her jaws down on the bridge of his muzzle, both sets of canines aiming to crunch a little above his jowls. She hoped that what she believed was the threat of permanent damage and the pain would deter him from keeping his grip on her appendage for long should her attack succeed. Jupiter would, however, cease her own pull of her right leg backwards to try and free herself, knowing that tugging if he tightened his grip would only make the damage worse. Her balance wobbled slightly as she ensured that the focus of her rightward weight remained on her back leg, as planned.

To ensure her balance she would drop the defense of her shoulders pushed forward and would fly her tail back parallel with the earth, knowing that a fall at this point could mean the difference between beating him into submission and being the one beaten. The woman narrowed her eyes, hoping that if her bite hit its mark that it would also prevent him from attempting to get up, as she planned to keep her forceful hold on it as long as possible if he didn't release her limb. She kept her weight on her splayed toes so that she could move away to recover and briefly assess her own damage should he comply with her unspoken wishes.



round 3/4

jupiter vs. oddity for ludicael


ATTACKS: Aims to clamp down on the bridge of his muzzle, canines wishing to land just above the jowl area, to try and get him to release her paw.

DEFENSES: Kicks back right leg out to keep her from falling, sets tail even to help preserve her balance and stays on her toes in case she has to move once/if he releases her. She keeps her eyes narrowed and ears pinned in minor defense in case he tries to at any point go for her eyes or ears. Weight on left side spread evenly as usual but her right back leg still bearing more than it usually does.

INJURIES: Though it's pending in severity based on Oddity's next moves, she will receive a painful, 1/4th-inch-deep wound on the upper top of her neck that will likely scar. Pending injury to her toes (will probably end up being broken) but has wide cuts/gouges on top of her paw and ankle, as well as her pads cut in a couple of places, from where his teeth dragged down her flesh.



OOC: Sorry for the wait; this was the first day I wasn't at school until 8:30 or 9:00 PM. ^^;
