P. F. L. Office

Callista: *eyes flick around the ring for a brief moment, then she smiles* A bit unorthodox, but it's worth a try.

*While pretending to scratch an itch on her arm, Callista concentrates for a few moments; her body briefly dissolves into static and binary, then reforms and splits apart into five copies scattered about the ring.*

(Double Team)

[Whatevr89532]

Clyve pauses, seeing Callista split into several copies, and he closes his eyes and seems to tilt his head up slightly and sniff at the air. And then, eyes still shut, he makes a hard dash at one of them, which barring any unusual circumstances should in fact be the real one, aiming for a full-on Take Down bodyslam.

((Odor Sleuth to Take Down))

*The nose knows as the saying goes (hey, that rhymed!), but since Clyve's eyes are closed he misses Callista's fanged smirk. Tensing her muscles, she jumps up as high as she can---revealing to the readers that she'd been situated on the part of the ring she'd accidentally Ice Beamed earlier.*

[Whatevr89532]

The Mightyena-man seems to pick up on the jump and start to brake himself, leaning back and digging his heels into the ground, but of course he then enters the patch of ice with the majority of the momentum still there. He tries to lean forward again to regain control and just falls directly onto his front end, sliding right up to the edge of the ring. He reaches up to pull himself up by the ropes, but it looks like it'll be a moment before he can fully get back up.

[AmbushCat]

*While still in mid-air, Callista re-positions herself so that her feet are pointed towards Clyve. Satisfied, she lets gravity do the rest of the work for her. Meanwhile, her illusions dissipate.*

(Bounce)

[Whatevr89532]

The attack hits, of course, and knocks Clyve under the ropes and clear out of the ring. He rolls forward on the floor a bit and turns over, sitting up and waving his hand. "Oi, oi! Calling it there, all right?"

[AmbushCat]

*Callista settles onto the ring floor upon landing, looking winded... and if the way she's palming her shoulder is any indication, hurt as well.*

Callista: Yeah, I'm down with that idea.

[Whatevr89532]

The Mightyena-man stands up and heads over to the panel he'd indicated earlier, pushing the very button he'd pushed earlier before quickly scrambling up the ropes again. There is a slight bluish aura and the respective wounds incurred during the fight are soothingly fixed up. "Ahh, that's better," he says, rotating a shoulder. "Fair warning, you can still be sore in the morning after using these. The big arena ones're better at their job. Anyway--

"You do a good job as far as I can tell. I mean, my whole thing is manipulation and you managed to pull a fast one on me. I'd put you down for one of the higher tiers for sure." He offers Callista a handshake.

[AmbushCat]

*The hybrid stands up, listening to Clyve's appraisal and sighing softly as her injury heals. By the time he's done speaking, a slight reddish hue is visible past her facial fur.*

Callista: *accepts the handshake* Well, I kinda do have to keep my wits about me; defense isn't my strong suit, as you probably noticed.

[Whatevr89532]

"Eh, that'll hurt you with a powerhouse more than with me," says Clyve. "My kind's not naturally strong in anything, so even after hard work I have to get by on tricks and strategy. Now, you're supposed to get votes from at least three people to actually put you in a starting tier, and there's a couple more of us in the other rings here if you want to get that done today."

[AmbushCat]

Callista: "Not naturally strong in anything", my refrigerator. *clears her throat* Um, right. One down, two to go, then. Guess I'd better check that out... *chews on a Snickers bar* ...So, got anything else to tell me before I make tracks?

[Whatevr89532]

"Hmm..PFL's a big organization and all, but don't be afraid to talk to folks. They're all pretty friendly, mostly. Not a lot of big egos can stick around the higher tiers for long."

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Gonna start using a gray color for Calli's text from now on.))

I'll keep that mind. *finishes her snack and pockets the wrapper* Hopefully I'll see ya in the funny pages. I'll be back for my stuff later.

*Callista waves, retrieves her sandals, and vacates the room.*

---

*Once out, she looks down the hallway for a few moments. Finally shrugging, she enters the room with Ring #2.*

[Whatevr89532]

Inside the second ring room, Callista finds...Clyve? Wearing sunglasses. Actually, come to think of it, he has animal-like ears and these sunglasses are normal ones so they don't have anything to be holding onto. He waves cheerfully.
"'Ello mate, noice to see you again!" That...is not his usual accent.

[AmbushCat]

*Callista blinks, an odd look on her face as she processes this.*

Okay. "Sidney". Nice. But seriously, what's going on here?
