Vagabonds - interactive Paintings S2 - Quarterfinal 1: Shelly vs Eloise
The Vagabonds is an interactive game here, based on my original paintings. In the first phase, I presented 8 different characters, and you, yes, you determined their Name, their positive as well as their negative trait and their weapon/superpower.
Now we're pitching these 8 fictional Vagabonds in fictional one-on-one contests/games/battles, ... also chosen by you! (It's still possible to suggest games/contests/battles at this post and I'm just letting the dice choose a random entry for every match). To see who's a fictional winner. The outcome of the contest is also interactive: I present the characters and the contest, and you can comment on how you see this particular contest turn out, and who wins in your scenario. A winner will be chosen and will move on to the Semi-Final, until we have our Grand Vagabond Winner!
Let's play, and let the first quarter final begin!
(I added a little unused adjective from Season 2 to @hazel420's suggestion of Fencing, just to spice it up!)
Ok, spelling it out, picture this: Romantic but Tired Sidekick Shelly and Everlasting but Vain Vampire Hunter Eloise, go into a match of Fencing. Maybe it's just for honour's sake, maybe it's a match to the death, I don't know, you tell me :) Shelly has a poisonous hairpin, hidden in her coiffure, Eloise can leave guys mesmerized... How will this go, how will this end? Who will win gloriously or unscrupulously? Who will suffer a terrible or even a heroic defeat in this first round of the shoot-out between these two Lady-Vagabonds? Anything is possible!
Make a comment on how this contest would/could be victorious for one and a terrible defeat for the other. Try to take in account all aspects of the characters - positive and negative traits, and their superpowers. It may be short, it may be extensive, but it should be original.
One entry will win - and I'm not sure how to decide yet... It may be the most upvoted entry, or highest upvoted one. It may be the one with most replies, or it may be the choice of the dice, or it may be the awesomest, best written, cleverly concocted story. I'm not sure, as this is stretching the limits of the Vagabonds beyond known territory. But this is where you can shine! The winning Vagabond will advance to the Semi-Final where she will meet another Vagabond in a new challenge.
Next Quarter-Final coming up in roundabout 48 hours, have fun!
Here goes with my story:
As all the guys watching swooned at the beauty of Eloise, she looked around in search of a vampire. Her eye caught her own reflection in the mirror on the wall. She was forced by her vanity to admire her own gorgeousness. This distraction from the fencing match allowed an opportunity for Sidekick Shelly to make a quick and decisive parry between yawns. With her heart fluttering romantically, Sidekick Shelly whipped her poisonous hairpin from her coiffure and stuck it on the end of her sword. Sidekick Shelly lunged wildly with her weapon scratching her target with the poisonous hairpin just before she dozed off. Most vagabonds would have fallen straight away, but Everlasting Eloise fought off the poison like the a true vampire hunter and stood over the sleeping Shelly, sword held high for a few seconds then she too fell to the floor in a stupor. Who do you think won?
Thank you for this game. Enjoy the fencing match :)
Hahaha, awesome! Even leaving an open ending, perfect! :D
I am just going to leave this here for your amusement:
P.S.: follow the link to the original thread for more popcorn
You have more patience than me @fraenk :)
Finally done with the chores for the day, let's see what snack I can get ;)
Edit: didn't even find a time to get a snack okay boss thanks! :D
for this game I prefer the character name Eloise, the Everlasting but Vain Vampire Hunter, the Beauty Leaves Guys fascinated. his name corresponds to his strength. Enchanting but deadly.
You prefer she wins?
yes, in my opinion he is more suitable to be a winner. His name and power have a very strong charisma to make the main star.
Hey, I appreciate you explaining your situation. Don't feel stupid, though, just because you feel you can't communicate well enough. You're obviously not the spamming kind of commenter, I realize you want to join this game, but for this phase of it, the rules are different.
Whereas previously a name, 3 numbers and a weapon were all that was required, I'm now throwing the ball back to you guys - to be creative with the options presented - options which in part you have created in the first place anyway :)
And it's not like I'm getting a lot richer here, I'm not even asking for an upvote to join my game. Heck, I've been upvoting all previous valid entries as much as I could, even giving away SBD. Now all I'm looking for is a little quality entries to my game. If you feel like you can't give it that, no worries!
Have fun on steemit, I'm still growing here and still consider myself a beginner :)
Okay, thanks! As I like both of them, this time I'm letting you/everybody here participate/contribute now. After 16 Vagabonds on my behalf, it's time for a little switch-a-roo and let you guys determine the story. Most importantly, it should be fun :)
In the game vampires vampire hunter eloise focuses more on his honor even though he dies for honor, while Sally has a plan behind the ornament of a poisoned hairpin to win one problem ny,
So Sally will win this game With immoral and insulting.
Okay, thanks! Not sure if you needs better translator or just take my m... Wait, where did these ladies turn into guys? Her > his? Yes, Vampire Hunter Eloise has focus for sure. Shelly has a plan with her hairpin, where does the immoral insulting come from?
This her vs his confusion might be a cultural thing... I've had several Asian colleagues at work and a Filipina wife who has the same problem. If I understand it correctly, in her language there are no such words as his and her, the reference to a person is different, and despite her knowing very well how those words should be used, she still regularly trips over it.
Hey, thanks for clarifying that - I had no idea :)
I'll be keeping that in mind from now on, thanks!
with the entry of eloise into the fencing game only for the sake of one honor, the sidekick shelly will be removed from the game. although Shelly has a toxic hairpin because it's just hide behind the ornament, eloise will receive a glorious victory in the match, because eloise can fascinate her with her beauty. Shelly will suffer in a terrible defeat.
I prefer eloise because he fights for honor, I really like people fighting for honor.
Hey, thanks, regarding that honour-thinghy I wrote, that was really just as an example
So nothing is really cast in stone with these Vagabonds, it's what you make of it. Now I understand this Phase II is a bit more difficult than just jotting down 3 random numbers, but it really is the game I want to be seen playing here. So thanks for effort! Oh Eloise is a lady, that would be a she not a he!
Btw, have you any idea where's @mahmuliadi, haven't seen him replying to Vagabonds Season 2?!
i will try this new game. the archer Miya 3-5-8. with a poisoned arrow eventually about his own pet
No, we're way past that
