A Battle for Grabs

I'm simply interested in sparring with someone, preferably with middle-class fighting abilities. That's about my level, at any rate, if you're any higher than that it'll just end up being you that wins. >.~ My fighting style is...different, but fair in the view of most people. My character choice will depend on who you are, how you fight, and what character you're using.

I would be interested; however, I take a while to post, and may take up to two weeks between posts. Do you have any specific guidelines, such as powers or lack thereof?

Not particularly, but it would help to see the character sheet of any characters you may be considering. And, also, the timing is perfectly fine with me.

I am considering:

Amira Qahtani, who is a psychic and empath, with minor magical abilities
Ayasha Ziedins, who is a witch
Natalie Schultz, a nonpowered human FBI agent
Tahira Ali, a nonpowered human
Jahan Iskander-Dannaoui, a nonpowered human assassin

You can also scroll through my profile to see additional characters.

I'm liking the idea of Jahan, who would probably work well in a battle with roleplay/the-multiverse/characters/ferreway-degri/ that lovely concoction of mine. She's a mind-twister.

Provided Ferreway is nonpowered, because Jahan has no powers either. It seems so, from the profile, though I couldn't be certain. And about Jahan - his profile is kind of chaotic and confusing at the moment, so ignore the parts about Emanuel, Kwang Bin, and PK47, as these things have nothing directly to do with Jahan himself.

Are there other stipulations for this battle? A specific location, specific circumstances, post lengths, tenses, the extent to which forms of godmodding or metagaming are and are not permitted? And of course, the in character reason that Ferreway and Jahan are fighting, as the fight may not begin from the first post, but may develop in the first few posts, yes?

Well, given that Jahan is an assassin, Ferreway could be a hit? She makes a lot of enemies, doing what she does. She likes public gardens, also, so it could take place there. Tense should be past, post length all depends on how the storyline goes, and the rest is up to you (that's only fair).

I read through the profile, but I'm not sure if you mentioned what she does, specifically. I promise not to metagame without permission or an in character reason to have such information, but would you mind enlightening me on the nature of her work and associates as well as enemies, so I can plan accordingly? Also, once you've done so, feel free to write the first post, preferably Ferreway living her everyday life, whether during the day or at night, unsuspecting.... for the most part.

Oh, she's a news reporter, but in her freetime (which she has a surprising amount of) she insults people. Bothers them. Gets information. So, her enemies are everywhere, anyone, whomever she put the spotlight on both after hours and on-camera.

Okay. I will improvise with that. You can take first post. I will probably post sometime tomorrow.

Ferreway's walk through the public garden was only to be the start of her magnificent day; she'd earned herself an interview spot with Fox News, which would be a fair upgrade from her current position as News Anchor for Channel 21. The station didn't even have a proper name, and it was local--two things she despised about it. She scuffed her heel against the ground, the silver ballet flats useless for the joy-running she felt she needed right now. She thought, for a moment, about taking them off and dashing barefoot about the square. However, in the end, she decided it wasn't worth it. Who knew what kinds of people were here, and if they had cameras or not. It couldn't very well help her get the job at FN.

She folded down, sat on the expensive marble bench along the side of the brick path. The bronze plaque read 'For Margaret 1970-2001'. It wasn't going to be very important in her life, but Ferreway did wonder who Margaret was. Only thirty-one when she died...Ferreway decided to look her up, figure out what had happened. Maybe write a story, featuring this 'Margaret'.

(OOC: Sorry for the posting delay. Send me a PM between now and Monday reminding me to post. I'm so sorry about the ridiculous length of time. This was done right around the removal of View Your Posts, which really, really has not helped.)

Ferreway Degri. The name given on a small slip of paper, typed, the slip revealing no errant fingerprints, from a dead drop outside the city. A week later, a wire of one hundred thousand dollars arrived simultaneously with a yellow manila folder, posted from Dublin. Inside was a photograph, and the same name. Again, there had been no fingerprints. Only a note, signed by the man who had lost the all-important 2008 election to an unknown challenger, after an unknown journalist had revealed years of corruption in previous terms. State Representative Timothy Jacobsen. In initials, of course, though the man watching the pretty young woman had established his reputation well.

He walked along the street, coming from behind her, maybe two hundred yards back, meandering at a slow, even pace. Dressed in a light blue collared shirt and khaki slacks, he could pass for any Indian computer technician taking a walk before work. Thin, wireframe glasses, a pen in the pocket, and a worn brown briefcase over the shoulder completed the look. Part of doing a job excellently was to become completely inconspicuous. This was his mandate.

In his ear, the voice of his partner buzzed amidst brief flashes of static, against silence. "Target sitting on a marble bench, next to the Margaret memorial," said a male voice, heavily accented with a distinctly East Asian accent, pronouncing the name 'mahrr-gah-rreht'.

"Affirmed," he responded softly, without moving his lips, so that no passerby would notice. He paused then, looking into a window as if merely watching the people inside, or the models decked out in thousand dollar labels, though in fact he was merely judging the distance from here to the woman on the bench. He would do it in the manner requested, though he found such blatant acts repulsive. Alexander and Lee had been chosen for a reason, and they were being paid for the work they did. Good money. Desperately needed in this mess of an economy. And the partners of Alexander and Lee were very good at what they did.

The man walking down the street moved on, continuing his approach to the young woman, until he was less then twenty feet behind her, still seeming to be heading past her. His eyes were on something in the distance, though his attention was on her and her alone.
