Nix vs. Sasha

Once again, the same dilemma was presented to Nix, and once again he chose the same option. While he did have the remnant to cast a new spell without needing to charge up, the particular one he had wouldn’t be as useful as it could be in this situation, so he resorted to instead sending two more balls of magic at the professional kisser.

The first ball hit Sasha true, but she yoinked the lipstick tube and rolled away from the second blast. Now, she could get things started. "Time for a new shade, don't you think?" She asked as she started lavishly applying the glossy, shiny pink lipstick, the tube going back and forty across her lovely lips an almost mesmerizing sight. The new color on her lips was just as distracting as the last.

Nix: 20 Willpower, 3 Remnant
Sasha: 27 Stamina, Pink, Fresh Coat

“I… Um…” Nix stuttered, unable to think of an answer to her question when she asked it or during the show of her applying a new color. Just from how much Sasha got his blush to deepen from the mere application of her lipstick, there was a possibility that she could defeat Nix without kissing him and solely through applying her lipstick, if she ignored the kisses she already gave him. Likewise, if Nix ignore that she could fluster him by simply applying her lipstick, he knew she had to get close to do stuff to him, so with the remnants he had gathered, he attempted to pull off one of his large scaled spells.

(Tesla Cage)

Sasha noticed how open his staring was, and she definitely had to see his reactions to the show a bit more. But, before she could make her next move, she had a cage of electricity surrounding her and stopping her movement.... oh well, she didn't need to move. The Midara took a tube of purple lipstick out of her pouch and daintily waved it around next to her lips, silently asking Nix if he wanted an encore.

Nix: 20 Willpower, 1.5 Remnant
Sasha: 27 Stamina, Pink, Fresh Coat, Tesla Bind 1/3

Just the thought and temptation of an encore was enough to further the blush on Nix’s face. In an attempt at halting any additional showings of her lipstick application, Nix hastily formed an pair of magic orbs to fire at the trapped midara.

Sasha was just about to open her lipstick and paint her lips, but she had to go on the evasive once Nix barraged her with his magic yet again. With so little room to move around in the Tesla Cage, she ended up getting hit by one of the blasts on her shoulder. "Nng, what's wrong, afraid of a little show?" She asked, trying to get into his head.

Nix: 20 Willpower, 1 Remnant
Sasha: 26 Stamina, Pink, Fresh Coat, Tesla Bind 2/3

“No! Why would I be afraid of something as trivial as that?” Nix quickly denied, having probably having no chance of fooling the midara who had heard similar denials before. With the cage around Sasha close to running out of magic to sustain it, Nix began to charge up his mana to have an attack prepared by then.

Sasha noticed him not attacking her, and she took that to mean that he was just waiting for the spectacle. "In that case~ You won't mind if I try on a new color right about now, right, sugar?" She asked as she started slowly painting her lips a deep, sultry purple hue that really made her lips pop. Nix found himself watching the cosmetic go back and forth, back and forth, and it was only by muscle memory that he was able to keep his mana steady while gawking at Sasha's perfectly kissable lips.

He barely even noticed the Tesla Cage dissipating away.

Nix: 18.5 Willpower, 0 Remnant, Guided Bolt 2/2
Sasha: 26 Stamina, Purple, Fresh Coat

Nix could understand why her kisses felt so good, but he couldn’t understand how or why he felt nearly as good from simply watching her apply lipstick. However he didn’t question that as he had other things to focus on… Sasha’s lips. But after he got over that distraction, Nix unleashed his charged up mana, forming what appeared to be an arrow which was sent flying at the lipstick tester.

(Guided Bolt)

Guided Bolt (6,78) Crit Success

Despite how nervous he was feeling about Sasha's lips, Nix was still able to maintain enough composure to strike her dead-on with the arcane arrow. The Lipstick Tester staggered backwards and nearly hit the ground again, but she stood her ground and gave him a defiant yet sultry smile.

Nix: 18.5 Willpower, 1 Remnant
Sasha: 24 Stamina, Purple, Fresh Coat

With it hardly needing to use its homing ability, the mana arrow left behind a decent amount of remnant for Nix’s use, which he promptly used to create another duo of mana spheres to send at the lipstick tester to wipe that smile off her face, not because of any anger or anything but because of how alluring it was.

Sasha so desperately wanted to keep teasing Nix with the sight of her lips, but she was hit right in the noggin by a magic blast and got knocked onto her butt. "Nngh! I cant even get your opinion on the colors?" She asked, as she shakily stood back up.

Nix: 18.5 Willpower, .5 Remnant
Sasha: 23 Stamina, Purple, Fresh Coat, Off Balance

“The colors have all been… fitting?” Nix quickly answered, not really sure what she wanted him to voice an opinion on about the colors nor wanting to break his concentration to do so. With his supply of remnants low, Nix resorted to a single ball of mana once again.

Sasha forced herself to power through the hit of magical energy to get Nix's eyes onto her lips. "Only fitting? Do you have nothing more to say about how my thick, juicy lips look in my sexy purple lipstick?" She asked him coyly, speaking slowly so that every word showed off the mesmerizing curvature of her perfect lips. The color seemed to be pulling Nix's eyes deeper, enticing him and stirring a craving within him.

Nix: 17 Willpower, 1.5 Remnant, Charmed, Stunned
Sasha: 22 Stamina, Purple, Fresh Coat

“Won’t it be redundant to say they look amazing in that color, as they did in the previous colors as well?” Nix asked in return, and that will probably be the closest thing she’ll get to a compliment from him. With her deliberate showing off of her pillowy lips, there was no way that Nix could focus on the fight, much less on a specific spell.

Fresh Application (35) Fail

Sasha smiled, satisfied by his answer so much that she forgot to tease him even more. "You're right! But, I'll never complain about a guy telling me he loves my lips~ Come on, tell me they look amazing again~" She said, her content smile nearly as attractive as any other pose her lips took.

Nix: 17 Willpower, 1.5 Remnant, Charmed
Sasha: 22 Stamina, Purple, Fresh Coat

With Sasha being distracted from teasing him, teasing that was distracting him, Nix wasn’t distracted from the fight anymore. Not giving Sasha any more compliments for now, Nix returned to the attack, creating another set of magic balls to send at her.

Nix landed the first of his shots, but the second one went off target when Sasha held a blue tube of lipstick against her lips. Once again, he was caught staring as she applied, the sight of her lipstick gliding across her lips and ever so subtly pressing into their full curves becoming increasingly pleasant and familiar to him. Now, Sasha wore a bold, ocean blue coat that stood out even more than the purple. "How do you like this coat, sugar?"

Nix: 14.5 Willpower, 1 Remnant, Stunned
Sasha: 21 Stamina, Blue, Fresh Coat

Sasha’s application of her lipstick had became so mesmerizing to Nix, so hypnotic to him over the repeated exposure to it that it took him a few seconds to register that she had spoken to him. “W-what? Oh, yeah, your lips stand out even more than before,” He answered, not really answering her question exactly, but still complimenting her lips none the less.

Lovely Show (40) Success

"Good~ Maybe if you keep watching closely, I'll give you another kiss." Sasha cooed as she popped and puckered her lips over and over, giving Nix all of the eye candy a man could ever want. She blew him a sweet kiss that made his heart flutter, but at least he could start to remember what he was doing.

Nix: 13 Willpower, 1 Remnant, Charmed
Sasha: 21 Stamina, Blue, Fresh Coat

With his mind partly back on the fight, Nix went back to doing what it felt like he had been doing for a while now, creating and sending spheres of magic at the lipstick tester. At least Sasha has seemed to become less evasive to these balls as the battle drew longer.

Nix created his next projectile, but he never threw it. He saw Sasha hold a tube of green lipstick up to her lips, and he froze up at the sight. The midara winked and gave her lips another makeover, putting on another lewd, sexy display for him as she made sure to give her perfect lips the emphasis they deserved. Once they had a verdant shade, she pursed her lips and blew him another kiss. "What's the matter? All I'm doing is changing lipsticks~"

Nix: 10.5 Willpower, 2 Remnant
Sasha: 21 Stamina, Green, Fresh Coat

She was asking the right question, what was the matter with him? All she was doing was painting her lovely lips new colors and he was getting hot and bothered. Maybe he just needed to catch his breath and try to calm himself down with a spell? Perhaps that’ll make it easier when witnessing her lipstick application.

Nix wasn't able to steady himself, despite it all. He saw Sasha reaching into her pouch for another tube of lipstick, and the anticipation he felt made him unable to properly cast his magic. But, the midara ended up groaning. "Awww... that was all the colors I had!" She complained.

Nix: 10.5 Willpower, 1 Remnant
Sasha: 21 Stamina, Green, Fresh Coat, Off Balance

Sasha being out of new colors was a good thing, right? Now she has no reason to continue those fabulous showing of application. Those were just some of the thoughts racing through the mage’s head. Despite being unsuccessful at casting his spell, Nix’s flubbed attempt did create some magic remnant, remnant that he promptly used to create another set of magic orbs to send at the professional kisser.
