Event Log: The Beach Episode

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the transition to our new planet!
Where: The city, which has now been fragmented onto four separate islands.
When: May 27th-June 10th
Warnings: Surf's up! If by 'surf', you mean separation from your friends, weird sea creatures, and cold rainfall.

The sun and the sand and a drink in your hand- well, it all sounded pretty nice when you voted for the island planet, but ultimately what you're getting is a bit less glamorous.

The transition takes place instantaneously, with very little noteworthy shakeup, though those of you who are particularly in-tune with the supernatural may feel a bit dizzied or nauseated by the sudden movement. And that's exactly what it is: for those of you who are outside, the change is fairly noticeable, as in the span of a single blink, what used to be miles of desert is now rocky ocean. The city is simply in one place one moment, and then somewhere entirely new a second later.

And that somewhere new is exciting! The islands have plenty of landscape to explore and weather conditions to adjust to, fish to catch, and- wait, how do you get to the other islands? What if your friends or your home or the bar is on these other islands? Enjoy having to figure out who is where and how you're going to get by with only a small fraction of the city to work off of- hopefully those boats will come sooner rather than later...

She's back to the offensive only a moment after she gets on her feet, only giving her time to make sure she won't entirely be on surprise. At some point, Sonya planned on 'not' waiting for her to be ready, but that would be when she's a little more advanced.

Not that Margery wasn't improving. Sonya's eye caught her the way she moved and tried to jump out of the way of her feet, but she's off by a split second and stumbles. Not to waste movement, she grabs the woman's arm and flips the two of them over, landing in a way to trap her in an arm lock.

"See if you could free yourself."

[roseofthetyrells]

She finds her arm trapped in a lock and her back on the ground. this is something that hasn't happened before and she's not sure how to free herself. She tries twisting her arm, but that only tightens Sonya's hold. So she acts as though she's going to punch Sonya's shoulder with her other arm, hoping that distracts her enough to break the arm hold.

[soldier_blade]

Sonya maintained her grip, twisting out of Margery's grasp to avoid the punch, but refrained from tightening or twisting her position-to do either would risk dislocated a shoulder unless Margery either found a way to escape or tapped out. They had gone through escapes and body locks in the past, though never in actual sparing. She only had to remember how to get out of it.

[roseofthetyrells]

Margaery curses under her breath and uses her legs to twist her legs to the side, toward her shoulder, freeing her lower half. Once that's done, she twisted her hips to widen the gap between them and free herself, though capturing Sonya's right arm and twisting it back.

[soldier_blade]

There was little time to encourage or congratulate her on getting out of the hold. Margery wanted this to be something of real life, and a real attacker wouldn't be discouraged or stop just to concentrate the other person.

Her arm pulled behind her back, Sonya shifted her position and twisted in the other direction, pulling herself free. This time though, she jumped and moved completely out of the way and from her grasp.

To look at them both, she judged it was time for a quick break. "You're getting better-say we take five."

[roseofthetyrells]

She wanted it to be as close to real life as possible because she wants to be able to fight at Matt's side once she goes to his world. From the stories he told of his opponents, none went down easily. That's something she has to prepare herself for.

She's a bit surprised when Sonya jumps back, but waits for the other woman to have her say.

"Thank you. I practice what I can on my own every day. Although, I suppose a break would be fine."
