A New Beginning...(Open Spar)

A little smile graced Artemis' lips, "Sure...that sounds like fun. First one to pin the other? What kind of conditions or wager were you thinking of?", oblivious to what Mississippi's real intentions were...

"I think a pin would be fine. We don't need ta get too rowdy, right?" She said and smiled softly at Artemis. "As for a wager? Well... I really have no idea. Maybe I'll think of somethin as we go along. Well... if I win..." She smiled. "Maybe I won't have to think of anything at all and let you do the heavy lifting, cherry."

She then slipped forward and took a graceful stance. She was tall and rolled her shoulders back,puffing out her chest and arching her back. Her knees were faintly bent and her legs spread back, but not out as if she were taking the stance of an olde tyme pugilist without lifting up her hands into fists. Her arms were halfway lifted and her elbows bent at 45 degrees. She stepped towards Artemis in a circling motion and when she was close, she threw out her long arms to try and elbow-collar tie up.

Artemis nodded in agreement at Mississippi's offer. A wager might be a bit of fun, who knows.

She looked up at her opponent as she readied herself. Trying to put herself fully into a trance to fight, she couldn't help but have her concerntration broken by thinking about what the woman was doing before...she still couldn't make her mind up. She circled around Mississippi automatically as the two girls began moving towards each other, but instead of looking for an opening, her mind was elsewhere. Still, she kept her fighting stance, her legs spread a shoulder width apart, slightly crouched as her arms were bent in front of her with her palms open.

Mississippi made the first move with the tie up, giving her the advantage, grabbing at Artemis' elbow...but if she didn't move fast enough, Artemis would try and push her back and break the tie up. Artemis knew she didn't quite have the power to face this girl in a test of strength, or a tie up such as this, and needed to take an advantage elsewhere.

Mississippi moved slowly, purposefully. As Artemis tried to force herself out of the lock, Mississippi didn't try and out flank the Greek but instead flowed with the shove and stumbled backwards, letting out a soft sigh of discontent as she pulled up her long leg and tried to press it into Artemis' belly and give the girl a hard shove.

As she tried to break the lock, Artemis didn't expect Mississippi to use her momentum against her. Caught off balance, Mississippi's leg caught her right in her stomach.
"Oof!"
She broke free, but only to be thrown to the mat by the force of the blow, leaving her vulnerable.

Mississippi stepped forwrd, falling forward ont he momentum of her shave and stalked towards Artemis. She wasn't really trying to win, but this was actually kind of fun to throw the girl around a bit. She reached down to try and grab at Artemis ankles while she was flopping about.



If she could get hold of Artemis, aside from hopefully exposing her panties, she would lift up her leg like she was going to stomp down hard on Artemis lower belly hard.

Artemis knew she was in a bad position and had to act fast. She looked up and could see the little smile on Mississippi's face as she grabbed hold of her ankles pulling her legs up. She noticed Mississippi's eyes dart downwards to her exposed white panties, and knew this was her opening.

While the American was distracted, she would quickly pull her right leg back, trying to break her grap, then kick out at her stomach.

Mississippi was not holding on as tightly as she could so when Artemis yanked, her ankle was freed from Mississippi's grip. Her eyes widened and she sucked in a soft breath. As the foot slammed into her stomach, she gasped out and doubled forward, leaning over on shaky knees as she heaved gentle pants. Her mouth hung open and her eyes fluttered intently as she tried to keep from falling over and down onto her knees. Concentrating so much, she would not be able to follow Artemis movements.

Rolling away quickly, Artemis jumped to her feet as her instincts kicked in. Adrenaline took over as she ran into the ropes as Mississippi was bent over, sucking in air and trying not to fall. With a detemined look in her eyes, Artemis would charge at her and if she was still bent over by the time she got to her, hit her with a running bulldog.

Mississippi let her blond locks flop about her as she tried to shake off the kick. It stunned and surprised her a lot more than it hurt and by the time Artemis was up and speeding about, she could hear the thudding of her boots as she trudged into a run. She glanced around until she found Artemis and as the girl approached, she flopped down and pressed herself against the canvas so that the girl would merely run past her. She would then carefully watch and made no indication that she was going to get up right away.
