Adrian vs The Mystery Box of Doom! (Cerbera)

Too much time being smug, not enough time trying to think of what to counter what Cerbera did next, Cerbera's charge knocked the cosplayer down to the mat, at least her head didn't feel like it was about to implode. "K... say something already!" She whined from her position below the little Kawaii "Seriously, the silent treatment's wierding me out!" she complained before trying to use her size and weight advantage to it's full advantage. Spinning the situation so she'd be on top of Cerbera.

She had the tackle down right but this wasn't a kawaii she was facing. Cerbera's lithe body had ended up being a bigger disadvantage then she'd hoped, ending up underneath Adrian thanks to that roll and ended up looking up at her instead. She took a moment to aknowledge her current situation and immidiatly after, she started to struggle about, trying to jerk her body right and left and hopefully throw Adrian off.

"Haha! Now I- Hey!" Adrian as caught off mid gloating as Cerbera struggled to get out of the predicament the cosplayer got her into, even if she was feeling a fair bit worse than her.

She wouldn't be able to hold her down, but what she could do was spin herself around, let Cerbera shoot an arm up so the little Kawaii would think she was about to escape, but then trap Cerbera in an armbar. Maybe then she'd speak a bit. Or scream. If the first thing that came out of the Kawaii's mouth was a scream, that'd just make her feel like an ass. But then she did kick her pretty hard in the face...

Cerbera's struggling seemed to be paying off, or so she thought. Just when it seemd she atleast could get her arm free, did Adrian suprise her with the armbar, causing Cerbera to freeze in place at far, knowing that she wasn't all that effective against holds but soon enough she tried to relax herself as much as she could, pressing her teeth together, not wanting to give Adrian any vocal sound of pain.

"Dammit, why aren't you saying something!?" Adrian demanded as she pulled harder "Seriously, a taunt, a small 'screw you'. Anything!" It was really ticking her off how stoic this little Kawaii was, compared to her who pretty much couldn't help but talk or show emotion. This one was going to be a tough nut to crack.

Her eyes fell tightly shut, the pain that rushed within her arm was hard to ignore, let alone the girl's demands of a sort of conversation. Cerbera off course didn't want to do that, her legs shifting upon the mat as she tried to endure the hole, not having any experience about how to get out of it without hurting herself further.

Adrian didn't know really how this was going so well. Usually by now they'd have countered by rolling towards her, relieving the pressure and throwing her off balance. But... at this early stage things were going her way. Much quicker than normal. Maybe she was a Kawaii but learnt some secret martial art that allowed her kicks to break people's faces in. Whatever. Very little pain for the cosplayer. Plenty of pain for her enemy.

Cerbera tried to keep his arm relaxed enough that she could endure it, casting her head to the other side to check how far she was from the ropes, perhaps she could reach it with her free arm and prevent any more damage from spreading to her arm. She decided to distract the girl in the mean time, suddnely pulling hard onto her arm to try and make Adrian release it.

Adrian kept on a reasonable amount of pressure, not exhausting herself but not letting Cerbera get off lightly, she seemed to have the hold locked in pretty tight, until the Kawaii pulled away. "Hey!" She yelped, trying her best to keep the hold on, not noticing that they were getting fairly close to the ropes.

Cerbera managed to get herself close enough to the ropes, extending her other arm so she could grasp the bottom ones with her hand. The pain still caused alot of irritation for the kawaii, who still remained silent about it even though her body occasionally twitched from it. She just needed to show she should not be underestimated, though that was hard to do when you were stuck in a armbar. Still, Cerbera relied on the ropes this time to break it.
