Fights in the Streets

Occurred during the Festival of Dancing Monsters during the Second Age.

Story
In Môsôoriku, specifically in Suzaku, the citizens, if they could be called that, had their own way of celebration. Heads of the weak and slow quickly met the ground, a few unlucky tourists who had ignored the warnings supplied to them by Watchers and tour guides to not come to the city, had a luckless day hiding in barrels, though they were treated to a fight... though it was more of a beat-down really.

Bone crunched loudly and echoed in the street as a succubus struck a head with the hilt of her dagger, only to echo once more as the unfortunate dwarf hit the ground. Behind her, another dwarf stood at her back, the two surrounded by a mixed group of dwarves, succubi and incubi. The two wore clothes that fit in more with the working classes of Genbu and looked to be heavily worn out and wounded (though only superficially), panting with open mouths as their enemies smiled malevolently and circled slowly. Every once in a while, one of them darted out and took a swipe with a dagger at the dwarf, darting back before either of the pair could strike back. Suddenly, one of the incubi noticed something coming towards them and yelled out a warning as the group quickly scattered. The succubus and dwarf barely had the time to turn a quarter of a circle each before being cut down by an assailant as their blood began to wash the streets of Suzaku.

There would be many more repetitions of what had happened over the next week during the Festival of Dancing Monsters in Suzaku's ever shifting population.
