Arylett Charnoa vs Eifie

Excellent, Carlotta! Let's keep it simple this round since we've got that Safeguard protecting us. Some Shadow Balls would be lovely — I don't want to take the risk with trying to destroy some more appliances right now. If she has clones, Clear Smog. If she's protecting or otherwise unreachable, let's wreak some more havoc around the office by Flame Charging any random old thing you see because I really don't enjoy having to rely on Trick Room to get you moving at a normal speed, god.

Shadow Ball / Clear Smog / Flame Charge ~ Shadow Ball / Clear Smog / Flame Charge ~ Shadow Ball / Clear Smog / Flame Charge

Arylett's head cocked in confusion, and she shook it briskly from side to side to arrange her thoughts. Moments ago her mind was overflowing with tranquillity, and now all of a sudden she found it rather lacking from her. Quite what was going on with that, she wasn't sure, but Carlotta seemed still to have it in spades, and she rather fancied helping herself to some of it. She closed her eyes and again focused her mind on Carlotta's, psychically emulating his mental state and feeling the calm wash back over her.

This intrusion did not impress him one bit. He held his arms together, each glowing with ghostly energy at its tip, and formed a large sphere of shadows which he tossed furiously at Arylett. The lack of lighting in the office made the projectile invisible until it slammed into her in a burst of purple smoke, knocking her back against a desk. Her newfound serenity bolstered her against the increased intensity of the malevolent energy from Carlotta's focused mental state, but the caustic orb itself still left a nasty sting.

As she pulled herself to her feet, she saw Carlotta preparing another shadowy missile with a murderous grin, and hurried to bolster herself against the oncoming assault. A sphere of blue energy erected itself around her just in time for the Shadow Ball to slam into it, most of its material sloughing away to a thin purplish haze as it crossed the wall of light and barely half of it managing to strike its target.

Shrugging off the damage, Arylett scanned the area slyly, looking for some sort of electronic ammunition; it'd been too long since she'd had a chance to smash any appliances over his head, and he seemed too busy throwing blobs of darkness about to get in her way this time. Her eye caught some form of Mesolithic artifact laying atop the desk she stumbled into just minutes before, and leapt up to snatch it down for a look. It was a PDA! Seriously, who was bringing all these medieval contrivances to work with them? I mean, what did PDA even stand for? Personal... dogwalking... alpaca? Clearly such details were lost to history. Shrugging, Arylett hurled the Antikythera mechanism into the air and shot it down with a fireball, putting the unspeakably archaic contraption to rest by exploding it over Carlotta's head. Infuriated by this horrendously blasé handling of such ancient specimens (or perhaps by the pain, but who could say), Carlotta shot a third Shadow Ball at Arylett with a snarl, then took a deep breath and slowly released it, his anger fully spent.



Calculations
~ Psych Up: 8% energy
~ Shadow Ball: 10% damage, 3% energy
~ Light Screen: 1% setup cost, 1% energy per action
~ Shadow Ball: 5% damage, 3% energy
~ Target and Destroy PDA: 14% damage, 4% energy
~ Shadow Ball: 5% damage, 3% energy

Next round
~ Arylett Charnoa attacks
~ Eifie attacks

That's because I somehow managed to add it to the pre-round stats by mistake!

Before I command (because it turns out this will actually matter), is there a chance you forgot to add STAB for Shadow Ball? It looks like it's doing 2% less each action than expected even after the Eviolite, but maybe I'm just totally missing something.

Aaand that would be because I was factoring in Arylett's SpDef modifier but not Carlotta's SpAtk modifier. halp how ref

Since blob of fox now has quite significantly less health than she did when Arylett first commanded, probably while under the impression she'd last more than one action, I'm going to offer Arylett a chance to alter her commands. Sorry guys, I really need to stop fucking up this match orz

Okay, Arylett's going to have to wait to see if you perform a non-damaging move, and I don't feel like calculating if causing electrical mayhem will be enough, so just, like, flip that table our ref's sitting on, yeah?

I'm hilarious

Roused by the sound of detonating electronics, the referee stirred for the first time since the opening rounds of the battle, squinting around the arena and holding his pounding head as he shakily rose to his feet. He remembered the computer catching alight, and banging his head on the floor as he tripped trying to put it out, and everything thereafter was a blur. His legs spasmed and threatened to buckle, a numbing fuzziness enveloping his mind. Finding standing up to be a dizzying exertion in his concussed state, he sat down on a desk to collect his thoughts. No sooner had his backside hit the desk top, though, than it began to shake beneath him as Carlotta brutally tackled it from behind until it capsized, collapsing on top of Arylett and sending the referee bowling head-first into a wall. With a final wail of pain, Arylett finally fell unconscious, and the referee remained just lucid enough to bring his whistle to his lips and blow weakly into it, announcing the KO, before he joined her.



Referee's notes
~ GUESS WHAT, I JUST REALISED I FORGOT TO ACCOUNT FOR EVIOLITE IN THOSE SHADOW BALLS. Desk Throw makes up for it so I guess it doesn't really matter but argh why am I so shit.

Calculations
~ Toss Office Desk: 16% damage, 8% energy

Next round
~ Arylett Charnoa sends out
~ Eifie attacks
~ Arylett Charnoa attacks

Judging by Arylett's absence post she's happy to be disqualified from any and all battles she's in, and after discussing with Eifie I'm going to end this battle with a DQ. If when Arylett's sorted things out and returned to ASB you both want to pick this battle back up I'll happily ref a 1v1 with the same arena and everything and we can just treat it like the second leg of this battle.

Arylett Charnoa is DQed.

Prizes:
Eifie: $8
Sangfroidish: $5

blob of wax/Carlotta recieves 2XP and Arylett/blob of fox recieves 1XP.

Thanks for reffing (and helping me decide what to do about the battle in the end)! Your reffings were very entertaining! I'm just sad I didn't get to blow up the computer on which you were writing your reffings; I decided it was going to be a Mac, regardless of what you actually use :p
