[open] TEST YOUR MIGHT

Who: Yusuke Urameshi [personal profile] fingerbanged & YOU!
When: IC: 8/2
Where: A really, really bad Street Fighter knock-off in ViViD
What: The past few weeks and the disappearance of a friend have been rough on Yusuke, so he's taking his frustration out in the best way he knows how-- punching things. Unfortunately, with CERES machinery on the fritz, it seems like there's new (and not entirely willing) challengers being glitched into his level of Ultra Alley Brawlers...
Rating/Warning: RATED Y FOR YUSUKE aka heavy chances of violence, bad language, blood, and everything else that comes with sticking a hot-blooded shonen protagonist in a fighting game-- also potential embarrassing outfits




[So you may be minding your own business, happily playing some innocent ViViD game such as Cybuddy Raiser or Gourmet Mother, or you're in the middle of labor-intensive RPG-style session, about to finally hit that desired stat level and take on the regional boss. Or you may even just be hanging around the ViViD Center, taking a break from the energy draining effects of the machines before jumping back into the fray again.

Suddenly, the area around you shifts and pixelates, stuttering and glitching for a moment or two, before it corrects itself, and-- wait a moment. This wasn't where you were before! Instead, you're looking out at one of these slightly grainy surroundings, while the dulcet sounds of this beautiful song blares all around you. Thankfully, your attire remains the same-- unless you're one of the unfortunate few whom the game had decided needed an outfit adjustment. But it's okay! High-cut leotards are great for kicking!

Like a large, blinking sign, the words A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED flashes above your head, before vanishing into thin air, replaced by a time slowly counting down from 90. Before you can really dwell on what those words mean, however, the loud sound of pounding feet rushes in your direction, a young man in this get-up charging towards you, fist cocked and ready to fight.

... you may want to do something about that.]


[tl;dr, welcome to the not!Street Fighter simulator! It's up to you if you want your character to be glitched into a weird fighter-game outfit, keep their normal attire, or change into some alt outfit from canon! If your character isn't a fighter, that's okay! There's handicaps in place, and, given how ViViD likes to mess with things, your character can easily be super strong or super weak given how you want the interactions to go! There's potential for final boss fights and bonus modes (as well as time-up 'draws'), so go wild! If you want to hash anything out or plot, hit me up at [plurk.com profile] Urameshi!]

HOW THE HELL DID I DO THAT?! I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE!!

[Darin stares at his arms, then starts swinging them wildly. Nope, nothing's coming out now.]

A-All I did was block for a couple of seconds...then try and grapple you...!

[Which he re-enacts. And suddenly...]

SONIC BOOM!!

[The discs fly out of his arms again and Darin stares wide-eyed.]

[And then...a grin slowly creeps onto his face.]


Hehehehe...

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

[Darin throws his arms up to try and shield his eyes...but that motion follows the blocking motion from before.]

[Which means...]


SONIC BOOM!!!

[Another disc fires out and hits the ball of energy, both attacks connecting and cancelling each other out.]

[Darin looks on, shocked...but then he starts spamming his newfound 'ability.'


SONIC BOOM!! SONIC BOOM!! SONIC BOO--SONIC BOO--SONIC--SONIC--SONIC--SONIC BOOM!!!

[Sure enough, all of Darin's Sonic Booms are cancelled out...and Darin's hunched over a bit, wheezing. Pumping his arms wildly like that was starting to take its toll.]

Man...I don't know what game this is...but I'm starting to get tired of it...

[He straightens up and cracks his back.]

What do you say we bring this to a close, Butthead...?
forgeabettertomorrow: (come on trust me!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-07-21 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Darin shakes his head, grinning a little wider. That reckless gleam in his eye was starting to show.]

No thanks...I won't be using that weird energy disc.

[He straightens up and rolls his arms at the shoulders, flexing and stretching them out.]

You've got the hardest head I think I've ever seen. I've never had the opportunity to really let fly with a real, honest punch before. Now I'm tempted to try it!

[Darin slides his feet apart and slowly clenches his fists. He feels each knuckle crack as he balls them at his sides. The prospect of being able to throw a serious punch was...actually kind of exciting. He wasn't interested in testing the upper limits of his strength but...]

[Somehow, he wanted to see what he could bring to the table if push came to shove.]

[He digs in, leg muscles coiling like steel springs, then launches at Yusuke at top speed. He clears the gap in an instant, skids and pivots, then throws a punch that would crack a solid steel beam right at Yusuke's chest.]

[And then another with the other hand.]

[And another.]

[And again.]

What th--

[Darin doesn't even get to express his full confusion before Yusuke strikes. What follows is a particularly horrifying snap of Darin's neck as Yusuke's punch connects with Darin's face. His head snaps impossibly hard to the side, his neck wrenching so hard it almost looks like it might be broken.]

[Darin stumbles back one step...two steps...but stays upright.]

[What the hell was that...?! Normal people don't punch that way...! Normal people don't have strength like...like...]

[It hits him then...the force of that punch...he knew of only one person who could punch like that. In fact, he'd weathered a punch like that not long before arriving in Cerealia...]

[Dromas...]

[Just the thought of that name...of his newly resurrected brother...of the monster he'd become...]

[Of the monster that he himself was.]

[Slowly, Darin reaches towards his own head. The best thing about hyper resilience wasn't so much that you healed quickly...it's that your threshold of pain tolerance was often leaps and bounds higher than a normal person. Yeah, Yusuke's punch hurt...it hurt so much that he was probably going to feel it for days. But strikes like that were so infrequent that when they did happen? Adrenaline took over.]

[He grabs his chin and snaps his head back forward...then spits blood out of his mouth. His entire aura had changed. This wasn't just a goof anymore. His green eyes burned, his muscles tensed like steel, and there was almost a look of resentment crossing his normally happy features.]

[When he strikes, he does it without warning. No digging in this time. No theatrical foreshadowing of his strikes. No big wind ups. He rushes down Yusuke with everything he has. His fists are practically throwing off sparks and embers with the speed and force he cracks them off with. His self-imposed limitations quickly falling away. He's not trying to kill him. But he's trying to hurt whatever Yusuke is. Because he's a flagrant reminder, a physical manifestation of everything Darin's been spending his life fighting against.]

[He doesn't even give a defiant yell. He just grits his teeth and lets fly.]

MY PROBLEM?!

MY PROBLEM?!

MY PROBLEM IS THAT I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO ESCAPE YOU DAMN BASTARDS!!

[He snarls and the speed of his punches grows.]

EVEN WHEN MY WORLD IS GONE, EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FREE OF YOU ASSHOLES, YOU STILL MANAGE TO FIND ME!!

[He plants his feet and drives his fists purposefully into Yusuke's, attempting to throw them out wide along with his own, exposing both of their frames.]

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING LIKE YOU!! I WON'T BE LIKE YOU!!!

[That demonic energy is so dense it can be seen with the naked eye. Like visible heat coming off of a burning desert road, waves of blacks and purples rise from Darin's frame. Briefly, there's a form. A shadow, almost. But it can't maintain itself and it scatters like flames in a breeze. In that moment, Darin snaps his entire upper body forward to crash his forehead into Yusuke with the defiant yell his previous assault lacked.]

RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

[When their heads collide, it sounds like a bomb going off. The virtual ground beneath them shatters, the glass in any nearby buildings is instantly pulverized, hell the entire virtual world flickers violently, like a bad cable connection throughout a powerful thunderstorm. The shock is so instantaneous, that it's kind of amazing that neither of them blind from the force.]

[Darin staggers back, blood pouring down his face. His breath comes in harsh rasps and that energy that he had been putting out simmers and vanishes as quickly as he had brought it out.]


What...are...

[He manages to get half of his question out before he drops to his knees, and falls face forward onto the shattered ground. His HP bar is depleted and while he's not dead, he's definitely exhausted. He even groans a bit. He's not knocked out but he's just on the verge of consciousness.]
