Extracurricular Activities (Arkadi Gorodin)

[Arkadi Gorodin]

"Kindly ask you to assist with increasing vehemence," he says, smiling the most charming and unassuming of smiles, while flicking his cigarette in his hand and sending a shower of ash to the floor.

[Jongluer]

Somerset stares at Arkadi, shrugs and then says, "Fuck that." She suddenly rushes at Arkadi with blinding speed and her hand becomes covered in a smooth sheet of ice that she is bringing right at Arkadi's chest.

((Would you like to abort?))

[Arkadi Gorodin]

"I almost hoped you'd say tha-" he begins, but caught off guard by the sudden attack.

But it's not his first time to the rodeo, and as the ash from his cigarette floats to the ground, he lifts his hands, causing said ash to spontaneously erupt into a corona of fire, surrounding him. The Fade, either intimidated by the wall of flames or simply ineffective, lands a glancing blow, leaving Arkadi unharmed.

He catches a hint of unease and surprise in the Fade's cat eyes, and capitalizes. In Russian:

He gestures as if to push the wall of flame forward, and it responds by blowing out into a sudden blast wave, direct straight at her.

((To clarify: Aborted to "Fiery Corona" as a half phase action and followed up with a haymaker combined with Blast wave.

DCV hit: 7
Hit loc.: 13
Dmg (Stun only, 6d6 + Haymaker = 10d6): 41 total))

[Jongluer]

The blast hits her hard in the below the belt, and she stumbles for a brief moment but is still standing.

((Your action on Phase 3))

[Arkadi Gorodin]

((Headbutt/punch as a half phase action:
Net DCV hit: 5
Hitloc: 11
Dmg: STR + 2d6 = 5d6 ----> 6,4,3,5,5 = 23 total))

Having supplied herself for an easy coup d'grace, Arkadi doesn't see any reason not to bestow it.

He lightly sets his hands on her shoulders, and forcibly introduces her to the business end of his fist.

[Jongluer]

Somerset is able to gently slide away from Arkadi's fist with a smirk.

((Phase 6))

Somerset tries to bring her ice fist to Arkadi's throat but is unable to connect.

((Your action Phase 6))

[Arkadi Gorodin]

((Blast wave as a full action
DCV hit = 7
Hitloc = 9
Dmg, STUN only = 23))

Surprised as he is that she is still conscious enough to dodge, he is not so gullible as to let that make him drop his guard, and narrowly avoids her follow-up.

He retorts by unleashing another blast wave.

[Jongluer]

The blast catches her along the shoulders, and while she seems dazed for a moment she is still barely able to stand and face Arkadi.

((She recovers on phase 12, your action on Phase 12....just realized that for some reason I was operating of off Speed 4 numbers for some reason, anyway 'phase 3' was phase 4, phase 6 was phase 8, and now we're on phase 12, your action))

[Arkadi Gorodin]

[What's wrong, girl?] he taunts in Russian, puffing out a cloud of smoke. [Cat got your tongue?]

Arkadi gathers his strength for what he hopes will be the final volley, spreading his arms wide and conjuring an instantaneous conflagration, then clapping his hands together, sending a explosive blast at the Fade.

((((Blast wave as a full action with Haymaker
DCV hit = 8
Hitloc = 10
Dmg, STUN only, 10d6 = 35))

[Jongluer]

As she takes a deep breath and gets ready to assault Arkadi again, he is able to unleash the blast wave he was concentrating upon and she falls back collapsing on the ground.

[Arkadi Gorodin]

Arkadi takes a moment to catch his own breath, before walking over and tapping the seemingly unconscious Fade with the tip of his work boot, his guard still up in case of treachery.

[Jongluer]

She is out cold. The two girls are still standing in the door way of unused room, somewhat speechless.

[Arkadi Gorodin]

Satisfied that the cat's asleep, Arkadi turns to the girls.

"Now is good time for you two to explain yourselves."

[Jongluer]

The two girls shrug, and the blond Jennifer says, "So like...you just beat up our fairy godmother?"
The other girl, the brunette Kathleen nods her head, "Yeah..."
They pause for a moment, look at each other and then Kathleen says, "Thanks?"

[Arkadi Gorodin]

((To quote Casey Jones: "You call this here....and that....down there....."family"?))

It's his turn to be speechless. How could the US have ever been the Soviet Union's equal when their youth were this blatantly ignorant.

"You have no idea what you are dealing with, do you? You think this is all games? Did you miss part where your fairy godmother is like wild dog?"
