Fliers: Shigure vs Percy
@dreamsofvalla vs. @sireneia Coin Toss: Shigure flies first
“What is that sound...? Oh! I think our first flier for this round is singing to his mount! How lovely. His voice is quite good, isn’t it?”
“It’s sort of refreshing to see a male performer... Hey, Emm. I wonder if I could sound like him, if I tried?”
SHIGURE:
First obstacle: Hoops ; 1pt
Second obstacle: Avoid launched clay birds ; 3pts
Third obstacle: Flagpoles ; 2pts (Anemone)
Fourth obstacle: Aerial loop ; 2pts
Fifth obstacle: Aerial dive & landing ; MISS . . .?
As Shigure and Asa turn in the air, nose diving down into their aerial dive, Shigure slips from the saddle. The whole audience gasps and shouts in fear, as it looks like he is tumbling right for the ground. Asa looks back to see Shigura freefalling behind, and Asa lands quickly before rearing up with a whiny. Shigure, by some grace, catches himself around Asa’s long, outstretched neck, hugging her as he swings down into a dramatic landing. The red tassel cord acting as his favor is tied along Asa’s reigns, and when Shigure grabs hold of the pegsus, the favor is jostled and wraps around his wrist. --a 2pts landing!
Total score: 2pt average
“Chrom, isn’t Shigure’s mother in attendance?! Do you think that was an intentional fall? Oh, Gods, I can’t tell! She must be so worried--”
“If Lucina ever tries anything like that intentionally, she’s grounded. Permanently... I didn’t mean to turn that into a pun.”
“P-Percy is up next, with his wyvern, Ace! Let’s hope that there are no more terrifying drops.”
PERCY:
First obstacle: Hoops ; 1pt
Second obstacle: Avoid launched clay birds ; MISS
With his mask on, Percy had trouble noticing the clay birds as they launch. He doesn’t realize their trajectory until one of them smacks him in the face. Oof! That will bruise...
Third obstacle: Flagpoles ; 1pt
Fourth obstacle: Aerial loop ; 3pts
Even though he’s had a rocky start, Ace knows just what to do when Percy gives a small click of his heels. They execute a nearly perfect loop, with a bit of super heroic might in their flourish.
Fifth obstacle: Aerial dive & landing ; MISS
Just like Shigure, Percy has trouble staying in the saddle during the aerial dive. He slips from his seat, and the crowd is practically WEEPING as they see the young boy plummet towards the ground. Ace, worried as well, turns around in mid-air, trying to catch Percy on his belly-- LUCKILY, Percy is caught by Ace. the landing gets them no points, though, as they ended up touching down outside the landing target.
Total score: 1pt average
“Sweet, hoy Naga, spare me... I can’t take much more of this flying course. Children free falling like that! I... I know that my queen’s guard are posied in the sidelines on pegasi and would never let anyone get hurt. But still, my goodness.”
“I’m banning Lucina from ever learning how to ride a pegaus or wyvern.”
VICTORY SHIGURE!!!
