Natie Waldgrave vs Eden.71

Nat will struggle against the hold on her legs, though the mess beneath her will hinder her similarly. She'll try to dig her fingers into the mud, bracing herself enough that she can swing her legs sideways in a general scissors hold, hoping to slap Eden face-first into the mud and maybe manage to leap onto her back.

Eden was getting frustrated with the mud since it was making it seem almost impossible to her to accomplish anything. On her last attempt to toss the zombie is when she actually turned, but not how she wanted as her grip slipped while Nat's maneuver ended up working perfectly. The android ends up face-deep in the mud with a slightly muffled groan and would attempt to push herself up with too much force as she felt Nat trying to mount her back, burrying her forearms in the mud as well. Eden's definitely ending up with the raw end of this deal...

Nat grinned as she mounted Eden's back. "What can I say? Being buried makes you preeeetty familiar with mud."

She'd grab hold of Eden's hair, pulling her head upward to arch her back slightly and wrap an arm around her throat, a sort of combination chokehold and camel clutch as she continued to hold onto and slightly pull at her artificial hair.

Eden would spit out a small clump of mud and grass that managed to get into her mouth from the fall as her face is pulled out of the mud. She'd groan a bit since she's getting slightly tired, not to mention building up a decent amount of heat as Nat wraps her arm around her throat to cut off her cooling. She'll quietly groan in the hold as her synthetic hair is pulled on and while she's choked.

Eden will attempt to slowly pull her right arm out of the mud as she buries her left deeper by shifting the weight onto it. If she can get it out, she'll then try to grab onto the arm that's around her throat and break the choke. However, the amount of mud on it and her simulation limiting her might make it tough for her.

Nat will feel the muddy hand grip her forearm, starting to pry it from the android's neck. She was losing ground in the hold slowly, but she decided to cut her losses. She let go of her suddenly and completely, expecting her to drop face-first back in the mud without her holding her up.

If she did, Natalie would move to her opposite end, grabbing her legs and lifting them up under her arms. "Let's see if we can get some hang time on this one," she grinned, pulling at the legs and attempting to spin her by them enough to get her off the ground. She proved heavier than she thought, but it would prove within her unnatural strength to let her spin and fly off like a short hammer throw if Eden didn't struggle enough.

Eden would indeed fall back into the mud, but she'd move her arm up to brace herself to keep her face from going into the mud again. She'd lie there trying to pull her left arm out, completely oblivous to Nat moving around to her legs. However, just as she finished pulling her left arm out of the hole she made with it, Nat picked up her legs and started spinning her. She'd start trying to struggle at first, but once she saw that she was off the ground she'd stop struggling and try to ride it out. Shortly afterwards, she was released and got a decent amount of airtime before landing hard on the grass and tearing up another strip of turf as she slid to a stop just in front of the bleachers, leaving a wake of muddy ground behind her again.

Hoping that it'll take the zombie a bit to get to her, Eden will take this quick opprotunity to change the variable on her pain tolerance to "Athlete" rather than just "Average Shmoe" as she'll try to slowly get onto her hands and knees facing Nat so she doesn't get herself stuck like she was earlier. She has no idea that she's as close to the audience as she is since most of them in the immediate area have already moved away to make a clearing so they weren't splashed by muddy water as the rain splashes off her.

Natie noted with some approval that the crowd moved away from the splashing impact, unaware that Eden was making her own upgrades. With an excited cry, she'd rush for Eden, her boots splashing more rain and mud onto her legs as she ran and threw a full-force punch for her head, hoping to knock her back with her undead might. With the slippery conditions and the well-projected attack, though, it was a pretty heavy gamble.

Eden hears the cry as she finishes getting up to her hands and knees and looks up as Nat starts charging for her punch. She'll slowly shift her knees on the ground as Nat charged her, learning from moving too quickly on the soft earth earlier.

Eden will try to duck her head down as she turns perpendicular to Nat to not only try to dodge the punch but also to put herself in a decent position to try to lift Nat in a fireman's carry if she didn't change the attack she'd throw the android's way. If she succeeds in getting her up for the fireman's carry, she'll pivot herself for a quick take-over attempt towards the front-row bleachers under the canopy.

"Whooof!" Nat would grunt as her stomach connected with Eden's shoulder. The rain slicked android shouldered the brawler without problem, Nat beating her fists on her back, only managing an elbow to the spinal area as any real resistance. If it didn't stop her, she'd slam into the bleachers, crying out as she took the first serious damage in the match. Her hands would go to her back, hissing in pain as she kicked at the air to try and relieve it.

If Eden didn't stick with her attack, she'd eventually attempt to reach up and grab her by the head, bringing it crashing down onto the bleacher next to her.

Eden, though slowed down by the elbow to her 'spine', pulled through with the move to slam the zombie into the bleachers. She'll carefully watch as Nat kicks in the air with a quite shocked looking face that she could've just hurt someone in her lack of knowing that the audience was right behind her, though they parted just in case.

The android will begin to circle around Nat to make sure that the zombie didn't land on anyone from the audeince that might've kept their seats, being careful to not slip since she's still somewhat muddy and slick from the rain. At least while under the covering, the rain and mud won't be accumulating.
