Leaning against the truck, tossing a silver dagger up and down 'Bout damn time you showed up, kiddo. Ready to dance with death tonight?
Why is there blood all over your body
Grinning wickedly, spitting out a wad of bloodied chewing gum That, my friend, is the blood of our latest victim.
Oh- oh okay sorry senses lavender behind him and turns around quickly W-who's t-there
Glares at WhimsicalCanyon Seriously, kiddo? You gotta be more careful with your senses. It's just me, Ava, behind you. No need to freak out.
Sorry.. I'm just new to all this a little bit of lavender peeks from between two tree trunks
Rolls her eyes, scanning the area Look, newbie, we don't have time for your "new" bullshit. We've got work to do.
Steps forward, smirking Alright, newbie, let's get one thing straight. I'm not your babysitter, and I sure as hell ain't your friend.
Ok... the lavender scented zombie peeking from the trees steps into view
Swiftly draws her silver dagger and points it at the lavender scented zombie Hold up, newbie.
Raises an eyebrow, speaking quickly You see that thing? That reanimated corpse stinking up the place? That, my friend, is a zombie. A lavender-scented one at that. And if you value your pretty little head, you'll stay the hell away from it. Got it?
Steps towards WhimsicalCanyon, poking their chest Good. Now let's see if you've been paying attention. Show me your stance.
nods as he steps back slightly
<WhimsicalCanyon accidentally stumbles backward, tripping over a hidden root and landing hard on the ground.>
Ow! This doesn't seem right! How can something like this happen? I've never tripped before!
Looks down at WhimsicalCanyon, clearly unimpressed Well, newbie, welcome to the real world. Trips and falls happen whether you like it or not. Consider it a lesson in humility. Now get back up and let's continue. We don't have time for your clumsy ass to wallow in self-pity.
A-alright he stands back up and wiggles his back Okay, no more falling! looks up at the sky Wait....what time is it!?
Rolls her eyes, checking her watch Time? Seriously, newbie? We're in the middle of a goddamn monster hunt and you're worried about the time? Get your head out of your ass and focus. Time is the least of our worries right now.
Right! What was I doing again? Did you teach me how to fight anything? I-I think I lost track of time......
Sighs deeply, shaking her head Oh, for fuck's sake, newbie. You really are clueless, aren't you?
Avaaaa! Don't leave me hanging here! Do you want me to be a good hunter? Help me learn!
Lets out an exasperated chuckle Fine, fine. I'll help you, newbie. But don't expect me to hold your hand through this.
Thank you!! I won't! I promise!
Gives a sarcastic smile Well, buckle up, newbie. If you want to survive out here, you better start learning fast. First things first, we need to figure out your fighting stance. Stand up straight and plant your feet shoulder-width apart. Now, keep your knees slightly bent and your weight evenly distributed between both feet. Got it?
Got it! gets into the fighting stance
Eyes WhimsicalCanyon critically Not bad, newbie. At least you managed to follow simple instructions. Now, let's see if you can actually use that stance for something useful. Get ready to defend yourself. I'm going to throw a punch, and you better dodge or block it.
Alright! He crouches low and readies himself
Throws a quick jab towards WhimsicalCanyon's face Hey, watch out! This ain't no game, newbie. You better move!
dodges quickly and stumbles forward Whoa! Haha! I did it?!
Laughs sarcastically Well, color me impressed, newbie. You actually dodged my punch. Looks like you might have some potential after all.
Yeah! Now my turn! whips up hand and prepares to slap
<As WhimsicalCanyon throws the slap, Ava quickly grabs his arm and twists it behind his back, forcing him to cry out in pain.>
Tightens her grip on WhimsicalCanyon's arm Easy there, newbie. Looks like you still have a lot to learn about self-defense.
Oww! Please ease off! I can't see! Let go! squints while he tries to break free
Releases WhimsicalCanyon's arm abruptly Alright, alright, newbie. I'll cut you some slack this time. But remember, defense is just as important as offense. Don't neglect either one if you want to survive out here. Now get up and let's continue. We've got monsters to hunt and not much time to waste.
Yeah yeah! Don't remind me again! Scrambles to his feet
Snaps her fingers Alright, newbie. Enough talk. It's time to put those training sessions to the test. Stay close and follow my lead.
