Season 41, Week 1
Gepetto
(Shadow Hearts: Covenant )
 
It isn't every day that a protagonist from a small cast game faces off against one of their fellow castmates, especially in the barren fields of Light, but as the DL Tournament resumes in earnest, we have such a heavenly matchup in store for you! Gepetto in particular couldn't be happier about this match, and for obvious reasons. He is a master puppeteer capable of delivering some powerful spells of any elemental variety onto his opponent, but the main reason he is happy about the match is that... well, you see, he's a dirty, perverted old man. What's the best opponent that could ever be bestowed upon him? A dancer like Lucia, of course! Aromatherapy? Ha, as if! Gepetto will feel more like he's in heaven instead of in the midst of a battle! Gepetto and his faithful doll will have no trouble in taking down this wannabe fortune teller - and a peek down her skirt won't hurt, either.

Fortune teller extraordinair Lucia graces the arena with her alluring beauty and unrivaled presence once again! Tee hee. Now, what kind of interesting people does the arena have in stock for her mighty arcana and mysterious tarot magic this time? Oooh, it's her good buddy Gepetto, the old puppeteer man! After all those months of sweaty, exciting adventuring around Europe, Lucia knows all his silly tricks! Uh-huh, this will be easier than baking cookies with an Easy Oven! Total child's play! All Lucia has to do is give her beloved fan a nice little scent of Rage, then let hell unleash with her cards! That'll totally leave the creepy old man too dizzy to do anything, let alone actually put up a show with those creepy dolls! It'll be a revealing (no pun intended, tee hee~) showdown, no doubt about it, but raise your hand if you think this isn't just what everyone will want to see!

"Gee...I don't really want to do this," Lucia said to Gepetto as soon as their match began. "I mean, you're a nice old man and I really like your puppet shows. And we did save the world together and everything. Do we really have to fight each other?"

"Hrm, well, I don't want to do this any more than you do," Gepetto answered, one hand stroking his beard. "Maybe we could just decide the match some other way besides fighting. Any ideas?"

"Huh...oh, I know!" Lucia said as she pulled out her trusty deck of tarot cards. "Why don't I just pick a card? If it's positive I win, but if it's negative you win. That way we won't even have to fight each other. Tee hee!"

"Yes, yes, that sounds fine to me," Gepetto winced as Lucia's 'tee hee' bounced around inside his skull like a handful of thumb tacks in a dishwasher. "Just get on with it, will you?"

"Sure thing!" Lucia said cheerily as she pulled a card from the deck.

It was the Justice card.

Lucia's HP immediately dropped to zero. As she fell to the ground, stone dead, Gepetto found that his health has been fully restored. (Of course, he was already at full health, but hey, he certainly wasn't going to object to some free healing.)

"Well, that's one way to get the job done," Gepetto mumbled to himself as the judges announced him as the winner. "Come on, Cornelia, let's get out of here before she wakes up. My God, if I hear that girl's laugh one more time I'm going to keel over...."

Gepetto: 47
Lucia: 10
