Markus vs Chantelle Lacroix

This was far from the first time he'd been drugged. While usually he could predict where he would be when he opened his eyes, his presence in a wrestling ring was not on his mental list of possible places.

Though the apparent midara filling the arena's stands as well as the trio approaching from an entrance ramp made the oddity of the situation make sense. The most flamboyantly dressed of the trio entered the ring and threw Markus a sultry look. He rolled his neck and prepared himself for... whatever this was.
--------------------------------------------

Markus starts with 40 Willpower
Chantelle starts with 40 Stamina

"nngh...man, whats with that Bright light?...huh?" The Mercenary regained consciousness and heard the loud cheering of women. He flipped himself up to his feet, just in time to see the 3 women approaching, and the most flamboyant one entering the ring...a wrestling ring?
"...a Wrestler Midara huh? Now that's more my style than some Art Museum..." He raised an eyebrow, but gave the Woman a smirk. She may of been surprised by how he didn't seem to be panicking.

This purple-clad Diva smirked and was handed an amethyst-encrusted microphone from one of her assistants.

"Beau," she began, taunting ",you look like you may have stolen many a heart in your time."

A number of catcalls and whistles could be heard from the crowd before she continued. "Pourtant, tonight, I will enjoy crushing yours beneath my heel!"

The crowd cheered its delight, and Chantelle turned back to her assistants. As Markus reached for his sword, he felt a hand grab his forearm. He turned and his lips met those of a referee midara who took his prized sword from him.

"Sorry love," she apologized, a notable lack of sorrow in her voice ",no physical weapons in these matches. Don't worry, that kiss I just gave you will make up for it."

The ref ducked into the ring and went over to check on the Diva, who was having her assistant apply lipstick for her.
---------------------

(You can still use his sword moves, I'll just describe them as physical attacks. Naturally, I'll try to come up with a wrestling move that works, but feel free to suggest some for Markus's turn!)

(Actually this works for me, I have an idea anyway XD)

Markus didn't seem too worried by Chantelle's words, nor did the cat calls and whistles from the Midara crowd put him off. He blinked though as the referee kissed him and took his weapon away. he blinked, but then simply gave a shrug of his shoulders.

"No Sword huh? Guess Wrestling it is then...I think she'll be in for a surprise if she think's this is going to disadvantage me." he suddenly grabbed a mic of his own, a smirk on his face as he entered the ring while Chantelle's lips were being prepped.

..I watch a lot of wrestling sweetheart, so If you think this is going to be a walk in the park, you'd better think again. Just remember, when I pin you, or make you submit...you're the one who asked for this." He said with a grin, before dropping the mic to the floor, and cracking his knuckles.

-------

((For this fight, Markus will not be using any Sword attacks, instead relying on his own strength and basic knowledge of wrestling to fight.))

Charming Taunt 50= Success

The referee called for the bell and Chantelle stepped out of the corner and aimed a wink and a beckoning finger at Markus. The sight plucked at his heartstrings, causing some color to rise to his face.

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 40
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Damage next hit)

She certainly was easy on the eyes. his face did indeed go very Red, though the confidence in his eyes didn't fade. He smiled as he slowly raised his hands and approached her, attempting to go for the usual collar and elbow tie-up to get them started off. It was a fairly common feeling out process in wrestling, after all.

--------------------------------------

(Action: Collar and Elbow Tie-up)

85= Failure

Markus locked up in a grapple with Chantelle. Underestimating the Diva's strength, she took the upper hand in the exchange and setting her up for her first attack.

STO 93= Failure

With precise movements, Chantelle set up for an STO and angled her head to kiss Markus down to the mat. Without a moment to spare, Markus spun out of the grapple, face lipstick-free for the moment.

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 40
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Damage next hit)

Well, she was definitely stronger than she looked, but that was common for Midara, so Markus wouldn't go easy on her again.

Without warning, He suddenly reached out and grabbed Chantelle's arm, attempting to twist it around and wrench on it hard to cause her to fall to the ground. if successful, he would then place his foot on her back, applying pressure, almost like a surfboarder.

-------------------
(Action: Arm Wrench into Surfboard manoeuvre)

81= Failure

Though he managed to grab her arm, she reacted too quickly, looking to slap a hold on him in turn.

Chicken Wing Hold 91= Failure

Markus spun his way out of the grapple and out of range.

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 40
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Damage next hit)

Slipping out of her clutches again, Markus backed away a little bit. Well, he hadn't gotten a hit on her yet, but she hadn't been able to get him down yet. He limbered his arms and neck up a bit as he circled the ring again, before going for another Collar and elbow Tie-up on Chantelle, wanting to get the advantage over her.

---------
(Action: Collar and Elbow Tie-up)

87= Failure

Markus again looked to match strength with the Diva, and again he was surprised by the rather lean Diva's strength.

Long Kiss Goodnight 100= Critical Hit!

With frightening ease, Markus was lifted over the Trickster's head and crashed back-first onto her knee. He had barely a moment to clear his head before Chantelle assaulted his lips with firm, aggressive smooches, sending his head swimming further.

(Follow Up!)

Charming Taunt 46= Success

"Vous semblez vous amuser, mon garçon," the Trickster taunted before giving the air an animated kiss.

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 35
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Att on next Hit)

[Translation: You seem to be enjoying yourself, boy.]

Her strength caught him off guard again and he grimaced in pain as she brought his back down onto her Knee, though the pain was then replaced with pleasure as she began giving him smooches to his lips. He was quick to move away though, wiping the purple lipstick off of his mouth.

"...Maybe I am. I was always a fan of wrestling...and girls~" He didn't seem phased by her attack, at least not mentally anyway. he also seemed to of understood her French, but he didn't let her think about that as suddenly he grabbed her and Irish Whipped her to the Ropes, intending to strike her with a Standing Dropkick as she sprung back towards him.

----------------------
(action: Irish Whip into Standing Dropkick)

55= Failure

Markus took one of her arms and fired her toward the ropes. He seemed to put a bit more into it than he thought, seeing as Chantelle flipped over the ropes and onto the ringside floor where her assistants were at her side in an instant.

(Turn Pass)

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 35
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Att on next Hit)

Markus hadn't expected her to go flying over the ropes, but seeing her assistants going to her, an idea immediately went off in his head. Suddenly he ran backwards against the rope, and then rushed towards them, jumping through the ropes with a Suicide Dive attempt on the Three of them.

------------------------
(Action: Suicide Dive)

95= Failure

Wasting no time, Markus took a running bounce off the ropes before diving through the opposite ropes. The trio of midara managed to dive out of the way, letting Markus run face-first into the ringside barrier.

Chantelle merely rolled back into the ring, her assistants in view of the ref, unable to interfere.

(Turn Pass)

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 34
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Att on next Hit)

((Jesus the Rolls do not seem to like me much XD))

Ahhh Crap. When they moved out of the way, Markus knew he was about to crash and burn. he fell to the ground, shakily getting back to a knee as he tried to shake the cobwebs away, rubbing the back of his head in pain.

-----------------------
(Turn Pass)

French Invasion 4= Success

Chantelle made a show of stomping over to the opposite corner and trying to undo the turnbuckle pad, drawing the ref's attention. During her distraction, Chantelle's assistants lept on Markus, smothering his face in kisses and whispering French flirtations in his ears before rolling him back into the ring.

------------------------
Markus Willpower= 31
Chantelle Stamina= 40 (+1 Att on next Hit)
