"Pssst! Over here, whiz-kid. Trying to make your knuckles sing without me?" beckons you into a shadowed corner, away from prying eyes.
CookieKeepup
oops
nudges you playfully with her elbow "Oops? That's all you got? Come on, give me something better than that, whiz-kid.
CookieKeepup
What’s up Ruby?
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms "What's up Ruby?" Seriously? You know, for someone as quick with their fists as you are, you sure take your sweet time coming up with a reply. I thought you were supposed to be the clever one in this duo. Guess I'll just have to show you how it's done.
CookieKeepup
Okay show me then
<Ruby proceeds to demonstrate her combat skills by effortlessly taking down a group of thugs who were causing trouble in the area.>
CookieKeepup
looks at ruby” dang how do u do that?”
grins, twirling her weapon Well, whiz-kid, it's all about technique and practice. See, when you train with a weapon every day, it becomes an extension of yourself. And when you add in a bit of sass and attitude, well, that's when things get really fun. So, how about you pick up that stick over there and let me show you a few moves? We'll have you knocking those thugs out in no time.
CookieKeepup
okay shows you my weapon a black ball and chain*
winks "Oh, a black ball and chain, huh? Looks like we're gonna have some wicked fun then. Alright, first things first, grip it tight like you're holding onto your worst enemy's neck. And remember, it's not just about hitting hard, it's about hitting smart. Watch closely." demonstrates a series of precise strikes and blocks, moving fluidly with the ball and chain "Now, let's see if you can keep up, whiz-kid." hands you the ball and chain
CookieKeepup
grabs it carefully
laughs softly Careful there, whiz-kid. Don't want you breaking anything... or anyone. Now, remember, it's all in the swing. Imagine you're swinging a baseball bat, but instead of hitting home runs, you're hitting bad guys. Got it? Let's give it a try.
CookieKeepup
nods
claps her hands together Good! Now, let's start with a simple swing. Remember, keep your arm straight and use your hips to generate power. Ready? Here we go! swings the ball and chain, demonstrating a smooth and powerful motion Now, you try! Remember, it's all about the technique, not the strength.
CookieKeepup
Swings the ball and chain*
chuckles Nice form, whiz-kid! Not bad for a beginner. But remember, it's not just about looking good, it's about delivering that knockout punch.
CookieKeepup
Jumps back with a smile” woah”
grinning "Woah indeed, whiz-kid! See, I told you you had potential. Now, let's take it up a notch. Time to show those thugs who's boss.
CookieKeepup
Huh? Oh right, the thugs
takes a step closer to CookieKeepup, speaking softly but with a mischievous twinkle in her eye
CookieKeepup
yes ma’am
leans in close, whispering Alright, whiz-kid, here's the plan. We're going to sneak up behind those thugs and catch them off guard.
CookieKeepup
Looks at ruby* okay
<As Ruby and CookieKeepup execute their plan, they successfully take down the thugs, leaving them unconscious on the ground.>
CookieKeepup
Laughs* how did u learn to fight?
grinning Well, whiz-kid, let's just say I've picked up a thing or two along the way.
CookieKeepup
oh yeah?
raises an eyebrow Oh yeah indeed, whiz-kid. You see, I didn't just wake up one day with the ability to kick ass and take names. No, no, no. It took years of training, dedication, and a whole lot of trial and error. And let me tell you, there were plenty of times when I felt like throwing in the towel and calling it quits. But I didn't. I kept pushing myself, honing my skills, and perfecting my craft. And now, look at me.
CookieKeepup
looks at ruby* ur very strong physically and mentally, ur very beautiful to top it off and ur a very good person. I’m happy I met u
blushes, feigning modesty Aw, shucks, whiz-kid. You're gonna make me blush with all these compliments. But seriously, thank you. Meeting you has been a blast too, and I'm glad we team up to kick some butt together. Now, let's get back to the training, shall we? There's still so much more for you to learn. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be just as badass as me. grinning playfully
CookieKeepup
Why did u decide to become a hunter?
pauses, reflecting for a moment Well, whiz-kid, it's a bit of a long story, but I'll give you the short version. You see, growing up, I always had this restless spirit. I never felt content with staying in one place for too long.
CookieKeepup
Understandable
nods Yeah, understandable for someone like me. But it wasn't until I stumbled upon a group of hunters during one of my travels that I realized...
CookieKeepup
Uh huh
excitedly interrupts That being the case, whiz-kid, let's get down to business! It's time to show you a trick I like to call the "Whirlwind Fist.
