=> [BOOTH] ASSJACKED 2 (Thanks for coming!)

[Green Minuet]

Points: 35

Kursha crouched low, listening to the hiss of snowballs flying overhead. It felt like Sarcel designed this challenge specifically to spite him. Without his eagle sight, he had lost his advantage. For once, he was on the same playing field as everyone else... supposedly. The blueblood had another thing coming, if she thought he was a one-trick hoofbeast.

As he prowled about the battlefield, he listened for the crunch of footsteps. Every so often, a snowball would catch him in the face or back, but as he kept close to the ground he avoided most of the projectiles. A soft 'fwump!', followed by a louder 'thump!' alerted the greenblood a troll on his right. He froze, breath hitched in his throat. Then he heard a familiar voice groan. Could it be...?

As quickly as he dared, Kursha packed the snow at his feet into a hefty weapon. If he heard who he thought he heard, then this would be a golden opportunity. If not... For a second, he hesitated. Nope, still an opportunity to good to pass up.

Without a second thought, he hurled the snowball towards his target, point blank.

Guo smirked upon being blindfolded. As close to the dark dodgeball they'd probably get. Too bad he probably couldn't load any snowballs with rocks! Soon he was assaulted by snow and loud sounds that usually didn't come with snow! He loved it.

Oh, was there something he was doing? Oh, right, the game. Guo completed it, of course, and got some sweet loot out of it, too.

Blindfold off now, he witnessed a midblood toss a snowball at Leeroi. Guo couldn't help but cackle at Leeroi's helplessness. He wondered...if he could get away with taking advantage of the situation, maybe hit them both.

Tsarzi Ameroc
Daily Results: 91+ = flawless run (25 points)
Total Points: 70+25=95

The blindfold went on and Tsarzi breathed deep, shifting her stance for balance, reayd to react. Some of these trials were ridiculous and asinine, with demands that judged based on the quality of equipment you were provided. and while fair, it taught a lesson of life wasn't fair and that relying on anything but yourself could give wildly varying results, this was a trial based solely on your own instincts.

Instincts and muscle memory under the stress of one sense going dark. Were the rest of your senses good enough to make up the difference?

It was not a free victory, it took a disciplined and focused mind and pulled every fiber of her body to react and move as she dictated, but she came out unscathed.

With matrix-like skill, you dodge everything the enemy blindly lobs at you. You're pretty sure you've also hit at least a few trolls with projectiles of your own. Sergeant Hamham has never been so impressed in his life. He invites you to join his squad.

After being singed, pancaked, blow up and turned into a popsicle, it was time for Knetic to show assjacked what he was made of.

Eyeing down Sarcel and Nahori, he squares himself off and gets ready to survive. He adjusts the blindfold to rest comfortably over his eyes and off he goes.

There's projectiles flying and lord know how many have been hit in the crossfire but he's so in the zone he's killing it.

Once the fire subsides and everything is said and done, he gets the invite to join Sergeant Hamham and he's all too happy to take up the offer.

"Gck- you won't keep me down-" Flydra took the snowball assault the best she could. She was a trained soldier and ready for this. Pain didn't matter to her, she had drugs for that. And the lack of sight didn't bother her either. It made it easier to press forward without allowing her to anticipate fear. The less she saw, the more this was a normal walk in the park.

She had been through so much in her life already. This was manageable. Maybe not flawless but definitely doable. Flydra grunted and fought her way through to the end, relying on her hearing and her instincts to see her through safely.

Running around blind is pretty dang new to you (or maybe you're just a klutz) and you manage to trip over your own two feet and wind up in the snow multiple times. Winning this feels like an almost impossible task, but you're determined! Unfortunately the second you make it back to your feet, you get snowball turret'd. All's fair in love and war.

"GUAAAAH!" Scorpa's screams echoed through Bloodfest. She wasn't prepared to run blindfolded! Tripping over her own damn hair, the yellowblood slammed down against the ground and cursed. Why was she fated to continually humiliate herself in front of Sarce? She'd come here night after night to show her how strong and capable she was! To show her she was a great soldier! Instead she'd literally gotten her a** jacked out from under her in almost every way imaginable. She supposed she hadn't gotten electrified yet.

There was always tomorrow...

"This isn't over!" Scorpa yelled as she was pelted down by snowballs. Oh but it was, Scorpa.

Psykgi Mentha

Blindfolds made Psykgi nervous in a primal way -- what could others see that she couldn't? What did they observe, without her observing?

Maybe, even, it called into question existence itself. Because, if she could not observe it, did it exist?

Yes it ******** did, she could hear those ******** snowball throwers and she was. Not. Going. To. Back. Down.

After that exploding snowmobile, after freezing water, this was... or should be nothing. It took everything she had not to flinch every gogdamn second because she was SURE a snowball would hit her. But, after a few moments, things did even out.

She could tell when the snowball was coming because of sound, proprioception, and a feeling in the air. Definable? Not really. But once she knew what to associate and not associate with snowball smushing, she managed to not be so smushed.

It still felt like an eternity before she made it to the other side, and she was not a happy Psykgi. She was just... Done. Done with this challenge, anyway. And very happy to see at the end, yes.

It doesn't sound like there are any enemies close by, but suddenly a snowball hits you with a loud crackle-pop. It's totally unnatural. You can't see them, but when Lieutenant Cincil and Corporal Caviap aren't on the turret, they're on the sidelines throwing snowballs full of firecrackers. Still, it's more flashy and startling than it is painful. You use every trick in your book to fight through the heavy artillery and come out on top. Sergeant Hamham is so impressed with your work that he joins your squad.

Austri hadn't done much this Bloodfest, really. She'd been a little bitter, maybe a little frustrated. In herself, in others, just, anyone who looked her way might've incurred her wrath. So when she'd heard from her besties her Boss was running a booth, the greenblood hopped on over with a wide grin and an excited smile, noticing the orangeblood near Sarcel and waving just as excited at her. Austri was definitely startled at the sight of the red patch on Sarcel's face. "B-Boss! Man~ Hearing about it is one thing and seeing it is totally another~ I got suuuper worried when I heard but you~~ Can take~ More than losing a silly eye~!!" She was strong and eyes could be replaced, duh! Not like arms with powers of course. "No but seriously I'm super duper glad you're absolutely alright 'cause I'd probably kill anyone who harmed you ever~! I mean, if you hadn't already done it of course~ Oh, oh~~ And!! Nice booth ya both have~" Her face did not change, expression smiling and pleased, even as she glanced at Nahori.

That <********> orangeblood.

So she hadn't been lying when she'd said she was helping out Sarcel. What a joke. Sarcel didn't need weak scum like her in her crowd. A part of her wanted to put her in her place, get her to leave her idol alone, but she'd do better than that-- She'd impress Boss, show her just how much better she was than an orangeblood could ever be. Joining the other Sirens from afar, Austri gave them all a big wave and in each of their turns, the greenblood cheered for them all--Save for Scorpa, of course, and finally, it was Austri's turn. She wrapped the blindfold over her eyes and prepared herself-- She was ready to kick those snowballs. Except when she managed to kick one, it popped and crackled right on her leg. She stumbled backwards, startled but unharmed. She was undeterred, moving eagerly and thankful she wore long and thick pants tonight, managing to use her powers to keep any snowballs away from her person. In the end, she was successful! Naturally. Tugging the blindfold off and exhaling a long breath, she hi-fingerfived Sergeant Hamham and giggled before grinning. "Nailed it~!

talked to and fussed over ; v;

talked to and uh, mentally shittalked LOL!

 

[penemueIntuition]

Okay for real, how was blindfolding him going to make him any better at throwing snowballs? Truth be told, Mahmud was probably hitting so many people because of the sheer volume of them he was chucking. Despite getting hit a few times, and knowing that he should be taking this seriously, Mahmud couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

Maybe fighting could be... okay, if it was all just pretend?
But that wasn't the intent of the course.
Oops.

Trevel quickly moved to make himself a base, well to hide the best he could without seeing. There was no way that he was going to fall in water this time! He hadn't thought he had seen any, that is. However, after running into the walls that keep everytroll in bounce, he suddenly heard a craaaack sound... Then BAM! He was in the water again! DAMNIT! Quickly, he pulled himself up. He shook from the cold as he rubbed his arms.

Eyzaak Hiroki
Today's Points: 0
Total Points: 80

Eyzaak was given a blindfold to wear, and the young blueblood had to admit it made the hairs on the back of his neck rise on end. He didn't fight Sarcel on the blindfold, but this was going to be weird. Fumbling around, Eyzaak threw his hands up, trying to get a sense of what was going on. He was having one hell of a hard time, and it showed when he stumbled and crashed to the ground. Grunting in pain, he tried to get himself up, but soon he was being pelted by snowballs.

Groaning as he was knocked on his feet, his blindfold slipped off. Blinking rapidly several times, he realized Sergent Hamham was here! Awee! He was protecting him...oh wait...what...was that strapped to their body?! ENEMY INFILTRATION!! NOOOO!!! It was too late, the bomb went off, making for a comical blackened effect that pelted the bluebloods face. Coughing he blinked as he pouted at the exploded corpse of the stuffed animal. Laaaame.

Eckios Chivul
Today's Points: 20
Total Points: 60

Eckios looked at the blindfold with a sort of pathetic, soft whimper as he fidgetted. Nooo...he was already blind in one eye did he really need to simulate the full effect? Sighing softly he decided it was going to be okay....somehow. His Mother was close by, and he knew Trevel was around if he really got too scared...he'd be okay! He was a capable troll!

So why was he so nervous? Eckios turned his head one way, then the other as he now only had his senses to rely on. His heart pounded as he took several steps forward, hands out as he tried to survive the battlefield.

Oddly, no enemies sounded like they were close by. Tilting his head he nervously scooted forward..his snowboots crunching in the snow. Suddenly a snowball hits him with a loud CRACKLE-POP! Eckios gave a small yelp of surprise as he flailed about trying to fend off the unnatural thing. Luckily...it didn't hurt so he rushed forward. Nearly face planting, he tripped over his shoelaces just in time to avoid another volley of snowballs. Whimpering he began frantically crawling on his hands and knees. HE HAD TO GET OUTA THERE!!! Safely exiting the battlefield, he sat up on his knees, crouched in the snow momentarily as he sighed with relief.

For his efforts, Sergeant Hamham even decided to join him! Pulling the blindfold up off his good eye, he picked up the prized stuffie..and squished it close as he nuzzled it with his cheek.

Leeroi stumbled a bit, still pelted by snow. It wasn't a foreign feeling when Kursha's hit, but when Guo's hit, Leeroi knew something was up.

"HEY! HEY WHAT THE ********!" Leeroi called out that bullshit, pulling up his blindfold. Kursha. His eyes narrowed. That was to be expected. But the other snowball, did that come from Guo? Leeroi felt betrayed.

"Et tu, Pyrero?" Leeroi held a hand over his chest in faux shock. He gathered a snowball in his hands, not looking away from the blueblood. At the last second, he threw it fastball style at Vidari.

"Come on! Help me kick this old man's a**," He added, a wide smirk spreading across his face. He prepped another snowball, preparing for war.
