It has long been known that the many warriors of the League of Legends are masters of their craft. Some battle with powerful magics, while others strike home their might with sword and steel. Still more may even make use of a combination of such things, or prefer ranged weaponry. With such a vast collection of powers and abilities, one may wonder how such powerful warriors manage to stay in their peak form. What strange place could possibly contain such might being unleashed other than a Field of Justice?
The answer lies within the confines of the Institute of War. The Sparring Grounds within the Institute's cavernous hallways provide champions a place to sharpen their skills in a variety of magically recreated environments. By default, the fields are large and flat, the ground made of hard-packed dirt. They are square-shaped, surrounded on each side by a wall, with an entrance on either side, and encompass an area of 40,000 square feet (200 x 200). However, the fields can be changed to suit any environment the trainee wishes for their use. The thick bamboo forests of Ionia, the frozen tundra of Freljord, the desolate fields surrounding Noxus, the crystal clear peak of Mount Targon, or even the shifting sands of Shurima, can all be brought to life by powerful duplication magics under the right circumstances. In this way, the battlefield can be as varied as the individual who may fight within the confines of the ring. For those who wish to watch the battles from a distance, viewing spaces beyond the walls of the fields have been provided, allowing something similar to a miniature Field of Justice, with infinite capabilities for entertainment, training, and improving technique.
Due to the rising damage done to League Grounds in recent days, the Senior Summoners have voted on a controversial issue. For the first time in League history, the Sparring Grounds have been opened to Summoners, and anything, or anyone, else that desires to get their fill of combat, rather than risking continued damage to League property. By limiting damages to facsimiles of true environments, the League hopes to lessen the possible damage, and continue to serve the best interest of its champions, summoners, and numerous patrons across Valoran.

It's non-canon, so nothing that happens here should have an effect on other roleplay, unless it is agreed upon ahead of time by both combatants. So, sharpen your blades, weave your defensive spells, and let loose! Oh, and do try to not blow up any spectators. They have families to feed... ))

Lulu waddles into the Sparring Ground, looking around for anyone to sate her ever increasing boredom.
You find us funny, do you not? A source of amusement. Is that not so? With our pretty clothes, and our convoluted circumlocutions and our little silliness of manner and behavior. And perhaps we are funny... But you must never imagine, that just because something is funny,it is not dangerous.
Shaco slunk into the sparring room, spotting Lulu only a couple feet away from her. The Jester was supposed to meet someone for a duel, but he had not arrived yet. However, he figured he'd have just a little fun beforehand.
Shaco strolled up to Lulu, now in plain sight. "Lulu! Such a joy to see you here! I came here on short notice...ahahahahahaha!" Shaco burst out laughing, grinning in the direction of the Sorceress.
Adel had just arrived to the sparring ground when she saw Shaco distracted by Lulu. Then she sneaked trough Shaco’s blind spot in order to shoot him from behind at point blank range with her Ex-revolver. She unloaded the six bullets mercilessly on the jesters back. "[And the duel starts now is that ok as the opening shot?]"
Last Edit: Feb 28, 2013 23:58:02 GMT -5 by Adelheid
Shaco's clone burst into a fan of knives as the bullets embedded themselves into the clone's back. The real Shaco came leaping out of the shadows, shivs poised to strike. "My father...I killed him already, but that's besides the point...my father once said 'Never bring a knife to a gun fight' I don't believe in that philosophy. That's why I killed him."
With that note, Shaco charged towards the summoner, performing a somersault in his direction, attempting to knock Adelheid off of her feet.
“[Oh well if you don’t like guns you should have said so]” She advanced to the point where Shaco was going to end the summersault in order to nail him before he could regain his full equilibrium. She then summoned two giant screws tried to drill into the jesters flesh. “[You seem to have some screws lose here let me lend you mine]”
Shaco was caught off guard, and fell the the ground, stunned. He threw his shivs at the screws, deflecting them, then rolling away from Adelheid to get his bearings. "Good one, good one..." Shaco was secretly planting a jack in the box as he spoke.
"Let's just say...that you don't know jack!" Shaco armed the box, then ran in the opposite direction. the box sprang to life, firing missile towards the summoner.

Lulu looks up at the Jester and smiles widely as he greets her
oh HELLO THERE Sir SHACO!! im JUST here CUZ im BORED AND-
Suddenly gunfire was heard and the Shaco explodes with knives showering in ever direction. Lulu sits still as every knife seems to miss her entirely with a comical outline of knives surrounding her
well THAT was just rude...
Lulu continues to wait for a "playmate"

“[No I haven’t met this Jack dude]” She said as she doge the projectiles and shots the jack in the box. “[But here let me present you my friend is called scattershot]” She said as she points a different gun at the jester this one release her bullet hell at him but the ricochet throws her off balance. Once on the ground she yells at Lulu “[Want to join us? it might get fun the first to get the clown wins!]”

Lulu thinks for a moment before yelling out to Shaco
hey SIR SHACO!!! do YOU mind if I JOIN??

Shaco dodged the bullet in the nick of time, crouching below the shell to avoid it. When Lulu yelled at him, Shaco responded. "Yes, that would be quite fun! You can absolutely join in!"
Shaco then rolled to the side to avoid any bullets that might have come towards him, then started moving on his feet as fast he could in his crouched position, beckoning to Lulu as he did so.
Adel threw a Flash grenade at the jester while he was on the ground “[Once you are in is all fair game no winner not losers just fun and pain]” She said with a wide smile as she waited for the jester’s reaction with her Ex-revolver in one hand and a BF Screw on the other.

at the Invitation, Lulu immediately stood up and began to waddle towards Shaco, her arms outstretched as if she is going to hug him.

Shaco cringed at the sound of the flash grenade, then was immediately dazed by the blast. The ringing in his heard was very intense, and Shaco couldn't handle it well. He tried to roll to another side, but the grenade hat hit him dead center. He didn't even notice Lulu walking towards him, the ringing was so loud.

((Is it permissible to come in here with the intent of meeting someone? Yes? Good! ^^))
---
Rose enters the room quietly, and, noting the combat between the two champions and the summoner, edges into another room- a large room, with a flat floor of dirt and a few trees and rocks scattered around the perimeter. Were she more in control of her magic, she'd clear them away- but as it is, she shrugs, and drops her bag, waiting for her friend to arrive.
Is friend really the word for it, though...?
She takes off her coat, putting her dagger in her belt, instead of leaving it in her pocket where it usually rests. ...actually... I don't think I should have this. I've no doubt he'd be able to block most things, but what if he didn't, and I hurt him?
Her bangs flicker against her eyelashes as she shakes her head, and she blinks before taking out the dagger and trimming them roughly. When that's done, she tosses the dagger and the sheath underhandedly to where her bag rests, then sits and waits for Nevin to come.
She stretches out her limbs- first her legs, then her arms, and when she feels sufficiently limber, she starts to shoot sparks from the tips of her fingers. The armor sewn into her corset dampens her magic, somewhat, but it's an advantage she's not willing to give up.
He's definitely a better physical fighter than I am- that muscle... mmh. A slight blush colors her cheeks as some vivid visual memories enter her mind, and, her magic and body primed for a fight, she sits down to wait.
