Vs. Battle #19 Silfedac vs. Scarf

[SpriteMeister]

Go.[/enthusiasm]

[the Scarf]

(*cough* Um...I guess I'll start then...)

JAM es. kicks at a small chunk of metal on the ground.
"Shall we begin, then?"




(Wow, that was epic.)

[Ziggy Stardust]

"This is quite the entertainment," yawns Tori from the stands. She quickly cracks open her book, using a nearby pickaxe to chip away the concrete.

[Silfedac]

Jack appears in the arena.
"Terribly sorry about that, I was unavoidably held up. Yes, let's begin, by all means."

[Pieman]

"When you're ready."

Judge pulls out notepad and pen and begins scribbling some illegible notes.

[the Scarf]

JAM es. pulls his slingshot out of his chest and picks up some shards of metal from the ground. He smiles at Jack.
"That's perfectly fine. I'll just let you take the first real move, since I've had more time to prepare."

[Silfedac]

"Oh no, I insist. You may begin."

[the Scarf]

(*gets a boot to the head for taking so long*)

JAM es.'s grin changes almost instantly to a completely blank expression.
"Very well then."
Picking up the previously kicked piece of metal, he loads it into the slingshot and immediately fires at Jack.

(EDIT: Oops...he already pulled out his slingshot. Ker-CHANGED!)

[Silfedac]

Jack Disappears from vision, reappearing behind JAM es.
"Come, now. You'll have to do better than that."

[the Scarf]

JAM es. whirls around, shocked. The Scarf leaps from his neck, smacking Jack in the face and coiling around his neck and upper arms. JAM es. grabs Jacks' shoulders and looks at him, bewildered.
"Who said you could teleport?"
Inhaling deeply, his chest seems to expand, and for a moment he resembles a cartoon. Before Jack has time to react, JAM es. exhales forcibly, hitting Jack in the face with several pieces of extremely hard fruit.

(Yes, I know that he could teleport, but JAM es. didn't. The poor fellow didn't quite read the character bio all the way through...)

[Silfedac]

Jack laughs and backs up, through JAM es.'s hands. "Now, who said I was solid?"
Jack continues backing up until he reaches a starship.
"But it's my turn now."
He turns around and leaps into the ship, phasing into it and taking control. He swoops around a little before opening fire on JAM es.

[the Scarf]

JAM es. looks very frustrated for a moment before realizing that the ship is firing at him. He starts running sideways to dodge the lasers (because I'm assuming that's what they are) and then stoops to pick up a clunky looking gun. He pauses and tries to fire at the ship, but it merely makes a clicking noise. JAM es. tosses it aside and begins running again.
"Shit!"

He runs in an arc, then gets too close to the starship for it to hit him properly. He picks another strange hunk of metal from the ground. Not even stopping to question what it is, he throws it to Scarf, which uses the thread-like metal tassels from one end to break a panel off and expose the circuitry. After fiddling with it for a few more seconds, JAM es. grabs it from Scarf and shoves it into a hole in the starship. Scarf then circles around him, spreading out and hardening to become a sort of shield as he runs from the ship again.
He is about twenty feet away from it when the starship explodes, shrapnel getting shot everywhere. JAM es. is thrown to the ground, Scarf on top of him, protecting him from the blast.

[Silfedac]

Jack walks up behind JAM es.
"Wow, that was some explosion. Looks like I got out just in time."
As he's talking, Jack slowly descends into the floor.
"If you can keep this up, you might even manage to hit me!"

[the Scarf]

JAM es. looks extremely annoyed for a moment, and then he motions to Scarf. It quickly slides off of him and wraps around Jack's neck and head, which are all that remain above-ground. Jack finds himself unable to phase through Scarf, and JAM es. grins.
"Look, I dunno what it's made of either. Don't spend too much time thinking about it, alright?"
He starts pulling on the Scarf, and Jack slowly starts rising out of the ground. He stops, still stuck up to his knees. Scarf wraps the rest of itself around Jack, binding his arms to his side. JAM es. daintily pushes the Scarf off of Jack's face, and suddenly shoves his arm down Jack's throat. He starts ejecting jam and fruit into Jack's stomach, completely filling it with delicious preserves. He slowly pulls his arm out, filling up all the spaces he can with jam and fruit as he does so.
Swaying a bit, he takes a step back. He appears to be much skinnier then before, but there is still a smile on his face.

[Silfedac]

Jack stands still for a moment.
"Delicious. But if you don't mind, I think I'll pass."
As he says this, the fruits and jams drop through Jack's body. While they do, Jack's outline wavers.
"Nice try, though. The water content in those jams nearly got me. Fortunately for me, the fact that I was mostly full of fruit and the fact that the water content existing was relatively small meant I was able to hold on. Ah, but that's in the past. Now, to deal with this little nuisance."
As the last of the fruit leaves Jack's body, his outline re-stabilizes. He grasps the Scarf firmly and unwraps it from his body. Struggle as it may, it finds it cannot escape his clutches. Jack reaches down and places the Scarf in the floor. He pulls his hands back empty, leaving the Scarf trapped in the floor. He dusts off his hands and begins advancing slowly and menacingly towards JAM es.
"Now, if you don't mind, I think it's about time I wrapped this battle up."

[the Scarf]

(Silf....you do realize how annoying it is that you phase through EVERYTHING, right?)

JAM es. watches in horror as the Scarf is pushed into the ground. There is just no way in hell that he could be that strong! He almost shouts, but then realizes what is actually going on. He takes a step back as Jack starts approaching, and then breaks out into a full on run.
"So it's water, eh? Or are you just trying to confuse me?"
He makes a wide circle around Jack, picking up bit of electronics through his feet as he goes. He Dashes back to Jack, then stops behind him, where he was standing when he sunk Scarf into the ground. He quickly deposits the electronic bits on the ground and smashes some together, then jumps back at the small explosion that this causes.
The ground falls away, revealing a messy hole much deeper than that which the explosion made.
The Scarf leaps out, one end unspinning rapidly, the other dragging the end of a large pipe. JAM es. grins.
"Just so you know, Scarf can be used as a drill. It's a pretty damn good one, too."

JAM es jumps down into the hole, onto the pipe. He twists a knob on the top, causing some form of liquid to come rushing out.

(okay, I'm gonna ask Pie to say if me doing this is okay. It's a bit deus ex machina....)

[Silfedac]

(Why yes, I do. But it's my gimmick. Sort of like how yours is that you use the Scarf for everything)

Jack walks up to the edge of the hole.
"Wow, that's certainly a large pool of...er, whatever that actually is."
With that, Jack walks back over to the electronics, looking for something to use. As he does, he calls back over his shoulder.
"By the way, isn't jam water soluble?"

[Pieman]

(Sure.

Just a question: is the Scarf tangible? if it is, how did Jack get it into the ground without creating a hole? And surely as he becomes intangible to go into the ground, his hands would just go through the Scarf...

Don't change your posts because of this, I can accept that it happened, I was just curious how.)

[Silfedac]

(I was thinking that Jack brought the Scarf into intangibility with his hands, then back into tangibility when he let go of it.)

[the Scarf]

(Yeah, That's what I thought too. Danny Phantom, FTW....)

(Why yes, I do. But it's my gimmick. Sort of like how yours is that you use the Scarf for everything)

(That's not the same thing at all. JAM es. and Scarf are a two person team. JAM es does plenty. Also, Scarf does Different stuff most of the time. You're using the same trick over and over again. At least JAM es will take a hit.)

Scarf wraps around the pipe, then bends it so that it's pointing at Jack. JAM es. turns the wheel again, and the flow of liquid is increased.
"Soluble? Er...no, I don't think so. Why? Are you?"


(Jam really isn't water soluble, by the way. I've checked.)

[Silfedac]

"No, I've never known pure energy to dissolve."
Jack finds what he was looking for.
"Ah! Here it is!" he exclaims as he vanishes into a panel on the wall.

[the Scarf]

JAM es. looks unnerved by his sudden disappearance, and also quite annoyed. Scarf circles around his feet protectively. He picks up a stray blaster laying to one side and begins fiddling with it, eying the spot of the wall where Jack disappeared.
"This is getting tiresome."

[the Scarf]

Just reminding Silf that this exists.

[Silfedac]

Eh. I concede.
