Welcome to round 2!
So, the fodder has been whittled out, and we are on to the good stuff.
You note that the ring is not longer there, and is instead now the tiled floor of your local Safeway! Old food stacks the isles, and you both have been placed in the center of the store, in one isle at either end. The items on the shelf of your isle is coffee and crackers- there doesn't seem to be any limit as to where you can go, but you will note that you still can't touch your Qi!
Good luck players!
READY, FIGHT

There was no theme for the little blonde that stood at one end of the aisle...mostly because it was a Safeway, and just why even..?
With a note to scour for seed packets after - if she could - Kyrie rolled her shoulders and stretched her arms above her head...and lowered them. Her eyes flickered quickly over the items in the isle, then to her opponent.
--and blinked. Oh?
Mathew.
With one arm. It was the first time since the battle with Barker that she had seen the actual damage done to him with her own eyes. Any other time she had seen him in a coat with it mostly draped over his shoulder. Even with one arm, she wasn't expecting this to be easy.
The blonde bowed, quick and deft, and then eased herself into a comfortable ready position--feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, hands raised.

Mathew let out a snort. His last match had left his hunger for pain wanting. He wanted to break something. To feel the snap of bones under his foot. To hear a cry of pain. He wanted to feel the warm splash of blood against his face. At this point it mattered little whether it was her blood or his that he felt. He gave his young apprentice a small nod recognizing her gesture as he sized her up.
Mathew was still wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. His eyes flicking to the sides of the aisle to see what options were available to him here. His eyes staying on the coffee for just a moment. Not a bad option.
"Strike me down if you can. Should you fail I will ensure that you remember the pain you will feel today for a very long time."
He said in almost a growl. His young apprentice had a test now. It was her duty to bring him down. To pass on to the next round. For the trinkets offered did not concern him. Her progress however did.
Lacking an announcer of any sort Mathew would reach over to a coffee can and pop off the top with his only hand. Jamming his hand through the thin plastic freshness seal to grip the coffee grounds in a heaping handful. His blazing eyes fixated on Kiyr waiting for her to make her move or allow him to make his.
If she allowed him to go unmolested then he would place the coffee grounds in his left pocket. Should she press the attack he would wait for her to launch her strike before throwing the grounds into her eyes. He wasn't afraid to take the blow for the chance of blinding her.

Kyrie had figured that would be the case, really.
"I understand."
And would definitely try. When he reached for the coffee, she blinked. So they were doing that, now? Okay--he also had the same idea as her. Well then, if they weren't going to grab these preliminary ingredients mid-fight...
She tore into a box of saltine crackers, though she would have preferred the coffee grounds, herself. In the interest of not copying, however...she crushed them quickly in her hands, stuffed what she had into her pockets, and then took another handful--crumpling it as she dashed to make all her dreams come true towards him!
She came in angled towards his armless side - mindful, however, that he still had feet and coffee grinds - and slowed dramatically. Parkour was one thing, but she needed the control of a slower pace as her empty hand struck out with the intent to palm his chest as she settled on her feet to torque her body with the motion.
Her other hand was up to defend, but if for some reason he didn't strike...as she pulled back her hand, her salty-cracker-laden one would shoot out, higher, and release that pale salty goodness straight for his eyes.

He couldn't help but feel a slight swelling in his heart as she copied his tactics. Of course she would fight dirty, that's one of the reasons he picked her as an apprentice. In combat the only rule was winning. Survival, and she understood that.
His eyes watched her movements, she had gotten fast, and slowing down showed she kept her caution. Testing the waters. Smart, because she knew his strength but had not seen any tricks from him in some time. Especially with no Qi.
He pivoted to the left side as her attack launched, the hand clipping his side without the arm pushing it back further. The side with his arm kept close to her to allow his own attack to launch. His hand snaked out in an attempt to latch onto her ear. If it connected then without hesitation or ceremony he would yank down and away as hard as he could. The intent to try to rip off her ear.
If it worked he would follow it up with a knee to the gut or a stomp if she fell. If she avoided his grasp he would retract his arm as quickly as possible.

She was improving. Of that, Kyrie could tell that much. She could just see and comprehend that he was shifting his body so that his remaining arm was closer. So as her hand retracted and the other sprang forward, she shifted on her feet, enabling her to torque the other way and--
--release the cracker bits as his hand shot to her ear. Her fingers remained in a curved position.
At first she thought it a box and tried flinching out of the way, but she wasn't nearly so fast as him in her improvement. Even trying to knock his arm off-course with her retracting hand just wasn't fast enough.
He gripped her ear.
Her eyes widened.
He pulled.
Her ear ripped.
From her throat came a blood-curdling scream as she stumbled forward, extended arm reflexively trying to find purchase to claw at whatever she hit on his face, be it his vulnerable eye(s) or skin. While her nails weren't long, they weren't short, either. The scream had to hurt, being so close.
But it didn't stop her screaming as she stumbled forward, head smacking against his chest and bloodying his shirt.
In desperation she flung herself forward, still, trying to get out of his reach. It was also a reflexive action in attempt to quell the pain that her hand came up to cover where blood came from where her ear was supposed to be.
The ear Mathew had torn off.
Forcing her eyes open, she took a few deep and panicked breaths as she stumbled into a shelf.
For the moment, the blonde was unable to retaliate, only driven to flee from those base survival instincts. If she could keep enough space between them, she could recover enough. But if he kept such close-quarters with the initial shock of this, she'd go down a lot more quickly. Those blue eyes were wounded with their shock, but only because it had been completely unexpected.
Now...she better knew what to expect.

His hand found purchase on her ear and he ripped it right off as the crumbs hit him in the face. The big ones bouncing off his eyes which closed reflexively but the smaller crumbs and grains of salt worked their way in. His eyes watering as he tried to rapidly blink to unblind himself.
Her screams though. That blood curdling and ear piercing scream sent ripples of pleasure and pain through his body. This is what he wanted, this is what he needed. His knee shot up as her body lurched with the pull to try and slam into her stomach. He wanted more of her pain. He wanted to milk it from her, to make it last until his aggression was sated.
However his eyes, still clenched tight as his watering eyes tried to clear themselves or debris gave the blinded Kiyr one advantage as she clawed at his face, one finger finding purchase against his closed eye lid scratching it and causing him to let out a cry of pain. His hand blindly reaching out to try and grab her!

His knee caught her, helping her to stumble away, though gasping while she did so. But she would, however, allow it to guide her momentum to escape his blindly gasping hand!
She scrambled a moment, then shot down the aisle a little ways, her eyes wide and a bit wild. But that was understandable--Mathew had just ripped off her ear and there was no way she was going to fight him at close quarters right this moment.
He was out for blood and likely bone.
Drawing in great gasps of air, her eyes darted around.
She didn't want to get close, but still had to attack. Moving closer to the side he was furthest from, Kyrie slung a container of coffee at his head and then, feeling a bit reckless, she took two running steps and leaped at the shelving unit on the opposite side, causing it to rock as she latched on...
...and then heaved her entire body back to bring the shelf's section down on the Earth Dragon, items and all, flinging herself back towards the ground, out of the way of the edge of the shelving. There was no way she was wanting to be caught underneath as well.

Hello~ Tanya here, at Corey's behest to judge the matches!
Only this one I didn't judge, though I will give personal thoughts to Ryan on the match!
Mathew: I liked seeing this hellbent side of Mathew. I'm saddened we couldn't explore this further, what with the holidays and all. It's really given Kiyr a wakeup call that he would give no quarter if they found themselves on opposing sides. Any hope for mercy has been abolished and now...she knows that her father-figure could break her heart as well, depending on how things go.
Result: Winner is Kyrie. Corey judged the fight to the same standards as Lucien and David's fight was judged. Though both participants provided depth and entertainment, the little blonde was selected to move onwards.
If anyone has questions/comments/concerns with the result of the match (as I handle Kyrie), you can contact David B. with your inquiries. <3
