In this experiment, passive status effects in battle will be tested. Godmodding will also be tested to a limited capacity. Basic rules:
1) Status effects are allowed in this battle. However, they must be stated in the first post.
2) The characters in this RPB can not die. There will be no winner/loser.
3) Each character will post 10 times. After each character's tenth post, the battle will conclude.
Without further ado: The Experiment.
Nimble/Jack's Bio: here
Added attacks for Nimble:
Flash - Nimble throws a flash grenade and everyone within a 10 meter diameter is temporarily blinded.
Smoke - Nimble throws a smoke grenade. This is typically when Nimble and Jack make their escape. However, this is sometimes a preliminary preparation for an attack... the smoke affects the sight of everyone caught in the explosion within 10 meters. The smoke takes a full ten minutes to fully dissipate. Sight radius begins to improve within five minutes.
Sweet Dreams - Nimble either blows powder in one opponent’s face or throws a grenade that explodes and sends a cloud of powder everywhere. Anyone who inhales this powder is sedated and falls asleep quickly. This effect lasts for one hour.
Thamuz's Bio: here
For Piercing Cold, the "ice extension" attack will now cause freezing in a four inch radius from the point of impact. Ice will cover the area in question, causing limited movement and/or weakened attacks. This effect lasts for 15 seconds.
Frozen Slash will have a similar effect, freezing four inches from the point of impact. However, since this is a slashing attack, the area of freezing is much greater. At the same time, the freezing is not as intense and does not last as long (30 seconds).
For the purposes of this experiement, I'm adding a temporary third attack: Ice Blast. In this attack, Thamuz focuses the cold energy of the Peridot Sword into what appears to be a large icicle, which he can launch at a target. On impact, the entire target will be frozen for 15 seconds. This attack leaves the Peridot Sword drained, in a similar fashion to the previous two attacks.
Nimble and Jack looked at their surroundings. The room was stark and massively large. The room composed an octagonal shape with reflective one-way mirrors looking in. The high ceiling was as bland as the ground. It was white stucco with florescent lights. The ground was a bright white cement. A dark-skinned woman in a lab coat had just finished speaking to them. Nimble was irritable.
"What did she just finish saying?" Nimble signed to Jack in her native signed language. Nimble held up a translucent orb.
"She said that this is an experiment. We're supposed to go all out until she stops us. The orbs supposedly make us invincible." Nimble looked distainfully at the orb in her hand. She then took notice of the much older man across the room. He was holding a fancy, slim sword. It was like none she had seen before. She briefly wondered if she could steal it after the experiment. A brief movement from the lab technician brought her back to the matter at hand. "Why the hell did I let you talk me into this, again?" Nimble signed pointedly toward Jack.
"The money is good."
Nimble relaxed a bit. This damned orb better make me invincible like she said, Nimble thought. Nimble took out a notebook and a pencil. In it she wrote:
Nimble and Jack nodded to each other. They spaced themselves out while keeping distance from the older man. Simultaneously they threw smoke bombs within five feet of the swordsman. The two rejoined each other and prepared projectiles. Jack sat upon Nimble's shoulders. Together, they waited for the reaction.

Nimble showed her note to the technician. She nodded her head. "Yes, you can. Use any weapons you'd like." Nimble read the technician's lips and smiled. "Any further questions?" asked the woman in the lab coat. Nimble and Jack shook their heads no. "You may begin when I have exited the room," the woman said. The woman walked over to a panel resembling that of the rest of the mirrors. This panel had a translucent doorknob. The woman opened the panel and exited the room. The battle was underway.
