Right, that's mine up. I figured I should kill some more Deathmatch Inc. employees to perpetuate the trend :question:.

Have to say I'm starting to regret my choice of narrating my entries in first person...it's going to make it harder to describe the action well, I think. Still, I might as well continue as I've started...


Sir Thursday

Hehe, I'm already afraid that people will tire of trouble being a shallow dumb f*** who's trying to be funny... but I guess I can't suddenly change him around and will have to continue to portray him as such instead of suddenly going a lot darker in my narrative.

But I think your PoV is refreshing and authentic... just have to avoid your guy getting his teeth knocked out or tongue cut off, I guess :question:

Finally got to a computer, Mez, and I have to say yours was awesome - particularly the Chairman's name.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Cheers mi dears. Of course it is the quality of the opponent that made me have to raise my game :p I was really stuck for how to have him fight until you did it for me!!

The entries are all really good actually. I thought we might get some lame stuff but it is turning out to be an exciting read. I have read the Deathmatches before but you don't realise where the difficulties lie until you write one yourself. Writing your own character is hard enough but interaction with the opponent is really tricky.

Well, entry is up. Bonus points to whomever spots all the Duke Nukem stuff I tried to squeeze into it.
And I agree with Mezla, our little competition with its colourful participants isn't all that bad so far :p (pretty good actually).

Leave the Valkyries out of it, I'm more or less introducing Brunhilde and her sisters (Grunhilde, Bluhilde and Hilde) for Death's Skybox scenes should I go to the next round :D Although I can totally see Nukem trying to make a move on them...

EDIT: glad you like it :D /bow

What? No way, you put them in, now they're Duke-nip :D

Hehe, you don't want to know how much I had to delete throughout the different versions :D
Btw, if you're looking for tips on the Valkyries: they all look exactly alike, apart from the eyes. Brunhilde = brown, Grunhilde = green, Bluhilde is blue and Hilde is blind :D

In fact, I never even introduced any of them except Brunhilde :p But cool that you made the effort :p

Shin, you're creeping me out. Very good read, I'm really looking forward to see how two such unconventional fighters go head to head.

Duke stayed silent for a moment. Finally, he fumbles in his pockets, and extirpated a few dollar bills which he held in front of him.

“Shake it baby.”

This is the awesomest piece of text in the entire JA vs Tapper 4 x 1000 word confrontation.
