Faulty Faculty [Open, Party of 2]

[Kate Minola]

The debacle at the spire had left Kate very irritable and angry. That arrogant prig of a duelist. Beating them up and leaving them with more questions than they already had. She'd fought him, the Cerberus beast, the plant monster... and none of the fights had really left her with any sense that she had any control on these situations, let alone a sense of victory or confidence.

No, she needed to get tougher. Things were only going to get harder. The park and the darkened neighborhoods were no longer cutting it. The university was a good source of training for the time being and she ventured there nightly, almost obsessed.

She was here again tonight, wandering around the halls, looking for a fight, feeling indignant and trying to convince herself to just get over it and just move on.

[Tristan Carter]

The fight at the spire had been a horrible experience. Tristan felt like crap both during the battle and afterwards. But it left him with a desire to work harder in order to make the Pompous Prick of a Prince eat his words and maybe, just maybe, reveal something about the Dark World. So, Tristan, even with how exhausted he felt, decided to go explore some more. He knew he wouldn't really be up to the challenge of his more common stomping grounds, so he decided to dial it back, if only for one night. He remembered the university being right around the level of challenging that he was looking for.

Once at the college, Tristan didn't really know what to do besides wander around. He didn't really encounter anything until he saw a familiar face. And the look on the face frightened Tristan to no end. Even so, he mustered up his courage and approached Kate with a small wave. Hopefully, she wouldn't snap on him.

[Kate Minola]

Kate turned around and saw Tristan, upon hearing footfall. She waved at him, unaware that she looked rather intimidating with her scowl and all.

"Hey Tristan," she mumbled.

She was rather grateful when the Shadows showed up. This was what she was here for. Practice and a workout.

She eschewed her bow and arrows and reached for her hammer, selecting the table as her opponent. She swung her hammer hard, knocking it backwards even as it wriggled at her, and absorbing some light blue energy off her which made her feel sluggish. The table crashed across the hall with a clatter and stayed there, dazed for a brief moment before perking up and attempting to divebomb at her. Kate stood her ground and Antiope appeared behind her, casting her shield in front of them. It deflected the blow and sent the table reeling. Not enough to be considered a hard hit, and it actually dodged Kate's next swing.

It danced about and cast a regenerative light upon itself, making Kate frown. She ordered Antiope to cast a blast of fire on it, sending it to the floor and stunning it. No need to give it opportunities to take action. She was on it before it could get up again and pounded it with her hammer. It bounced along the floor from the force and Kate finished it off with a last heavy blow from her hammer.
