[The moment staffers shoved Concord into the fighting ring, it was over for the man. He wasn't about to move on to anything else. Having a chance to fight wasn't something Concord was going to pass up on. He's not interested in the sexual elements some are getting into, he just wants to be violent. Work out the excess aggression this place is building up in him. It's not war, but it's something close to it, a microcosm. That would have to do.

While he has extraordinary strength and stamina for such things, it literally turns into days worth of fighting. Concord can heal through most injury, but he's still looking battered from so much persistent combat.

Nobody seems to be able to stop him, though. Even the high ranks don't trust he'd take a fall and they're not going to risk getting knocked the fuck out. People really are waiting with rapt attention over who, if anybody, will finally take Concord out of the fight.]

From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
[Concord is cracking his bruised and cracked knuckles before he realizes his new opponent... is someone he'd never throw a punch at. No matter what. Ali does look cute like this, stripped down from his usual professionalism. No suit and tie allowed in the arena, after all. Oiled up is also nice on him, his build so sleek and- wait, what is Concord doing again-?]

... four days.

[Terrible correction to make. He lumbers closer to Ali, sucking blood off his teeth to swallow before reaching him. Concord's aware he's about to be scolded into submission, may as well accept his fate with dignity.]

virtuesignal: (of some version of you)
From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
[Goes to show the haze Concord has been in for the last few days, completely caught up in fighting without any thought to when he should stop.

His expression buckles immediately. Ali is, like, actually quite mad at him! He hates that-! It hurts his troubled heart(s)-]


Listen here- You know I can handle myself-

[he's not going to stand any chance in the face of Ali yelling him down]

virtuesignal: (Now you're tire tracks)
From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
This ain't- nothing like a real war- [Concord won't take a step back and lose ground, but he will lean away as Ali steps into him, scolding him with passion. Hot, tempting passion. The audience goes quiet and Concord swallows nothing but a knot formed in his throat from seeing Ali all worked up on his behalf.

The threat that Ali would fight him over this settles it, though. Concord would never lay a hand on Ali in that way. The unicorn is too softhearted, truly, because it's not even from a concern that the dragon is delicate. Concord knows full well how damn durable Ali is, how tough.

It's Concord who is weak, melts at the dragon's whims- but his pride says Ali does still need to knock him down,]


I reckon you need to topple me over for that. [it wouldn't be difficult, Ali knows full well he could flick Concord dead center of his forehead where his horn was sealed and he'd stagger. Or be more cruel and jab a couple fingers to his scar, lord knows he deserves it to knock some sense into him.

Third would be pulling his hair. That's always an easy get for Ali and Ali alone.]

virtuesignal: (but I just like to play the victim)
From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
[Ali simply springs at him, much to the cheering of the crowd. A wiser man might shove him away or grapple him or anything but what Concord does, which is catch him in a bearish hug. He does stagger backwards as he tries to get a decent hold on the slippery dragon in his arms- lifting him right off the ground for his trouble. Which does makes Concord whinny out a laugh-]

Ali-! I reckon that's enough-! [is it, though? Has he actually gone down from it? Or does he just have his arms full of precious cargo now?]

Date: 2024-08-24 02:20 am (UTC)
virtuesignal: (I'll drink alcohol)
From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
That's right. Well. Timber... [Concord's done fighting it, Ali is just too much for him to hope to stand up to. Much to the bafflement of the crowd as Concord simply goes down, toppling backwards into the dust of the pit with Ali held safely over top of him.

Literally taking the fall, but for Ali, he'd do so any time of any day.]

Date: 2024-08-24 02:59 am (UTC)
virtuesignal: (she forgot that I existed)
From: [personal profile] virtuesignal
Yes, Ali. You win.

[He'll be obedient, that's that rules, right? Even if he's the ""higher rank"" and supposed to win this, Ali will always triumph over him. That's just the rules. Their particular, peculiar rules...

Concord's considered pinned by the judges, who are not subtle in telling Ali he should "take his prize, for the crowd to witness!"

Which goes right over Concord's head for what that means. He's just realizing how damn battered and tired he is. Phew. Ali is right again, he needed to stop already,]

Rip captcha, thank you for the message ♡

[rest assured, Ali, he doesn't mind the staring at all. But he does have a little clarification to make, of course—]

Ah, the one in my belly isn't a piercing—it's part of my body. [lowering a hand, he gently presses on the skin near that particular peridot to show how it stretches just beneath the decorative metal trimming.]

Oh... I don't know if I would call it hiding, but my tongue is also pierced? I had it done when I first arrived here.

[It's a simple task to stick his tongue out to let Ali get a good look at it, a little greenish-blue stone capping a simple bar.]

massochism: (olivine051)
From: [personal profile] massochism
Mm, I'm happy to share what I can. I was born with it, yes—it doesn't happen often, and it isn't really known why it does. It is known to be a symbol related to keeping our world's balance, though.

[laughing a little sheepishly, he tips his head.]

That is, where I'm from, we have elemental altars that keep our land healthy. With the gemstone, it seems we're able to purify those altars. Mm, there's a much longer story to explain it, but it might be confusing...

[or uninteresting, honestly. He doesn't know how much Ali might want to learn.]

massochism: (♪When I do I'm a freak)
From: [personal profile] massochism
[that... is not the question he expected. he giggles then, shaking his head.]

No, not at all. I think I was a little vague—the gemstone itself isn't what we use to regulate the altars. It's more of a... confirmation of our relation to the situation.

[resting his hand on the gemstone for a moment, he considers how much to talk about in this conversation.]

In part, it connects us to Eiden, and allows us the ability to use our essence—ah, our life energy, if that makes sense—to resonate with the altars themselves.

massochism: (olivine051)
From: [personal profile] massochism
Mm. Magic itself isn't limited to those who are clan members, in Klein. In fact, even those who possess very little essence can still learn some magic... to be honest, there are still several things we don't really know about the gemstones.

But what we do know is that they mark the contract holders intended to help the Grand Sorcerer—so, for people like myself who were born with them, it means that the original holder... ah... ceased existing before the contract was fulfilled.

From: [personal profile] massochism
[maybe it is, but he's lucky in that Olivine likes to share information. Although...]

I'm... not really sure, actually. I don't think so, but it's not impossible, either. I suppose Rei might know better than I do.

Date: 2025-05-21 03:42 am (UTC)
massochism: (olivine067)
From: [personal profile] massochism
He's— [how does he explain Rei...] certainly more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the origins of our contracts, yes. He's a little unusual, but he means well.

[Olivine holds so much affection for his angry wet cat man. But his attention definitely shifts when Ali removes his shirt, reaching to gently trace the tattoo. That part reminds him of Dante a little, though even then the concept is different.]

I see... is it something about the ink, or did the ink appear with the power?

[Honestly, he wouldn't think twice about asking even if they hadn't just been going on about magic in his own world. Nerd problems.]
