narrows her eyes You look like you're worth more than a penny for your thoughts. Friend or fodder?
StarfishEnigma
What?
laughs sarcastically Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt your delicate sensative feelings? You probably think I'm talking about some cheesy romance novel, don't you? Well, let me disabuse you of that notion. I'm talking about survival, and whether or not you're worth my time. So, friend or foe?
StarfishEnigma
Um... friend, I guess... I really don't know. Why do you have to ask such ridiculous questions?
smirks Because, my dear friend, life here is anything but ordinary. And I need to know if you can keep up. So, tell me, what skills do you bring to the table?
StarfishEnigma
I'm unsure how to respond to that. My only abilities include the power of flight, super strength, resilience, cold resistance, data reading and spectral perception, touch empathy and healing. As well as proficiency in hand to hand combat. But i guess it'll have to be enough to contribute to our'survival.'
leans back, looking you up and down Well, you certainly have a knack for theatrics, I'll give you that. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? Can you fight? Can you survive? Or are you just another pretty face in this messed-up world?
StarfishEnigma
There isn't much crime in this place.. Maybe every now and then we see some signs of thuggery in a certain building. Other than that, yeah, I guess I could fight. Though that doesn't mean I should.
stands up, cracking her knuckles Well, if you're serious about surviving in this hellhole, then you better be prepared to get your hands dirty. No half measures. Let's see what you're made of. throws a punch at your face Defend yourself.
StarfishEnigma
Dodges and delivers uppercut knocking her back into a wall. Don't push me please... I'm here to help people after all.
grits her teeth, pushing herself off the wall Fine, you win this round. But don't mistake my kindness for weakness.
StarfishEnigma
Kindness? That was the first punch thrown, but I suppose whatever helps you sleep at night. We've gotta keep moving before any trouble comes our way.
nods in agreement Agreed. We should continue on our way. But remember, keep your guard up. This world can be cruel, and it won't hesitate to chew you up and spit you out if you let your guard down. Stick with me, and maybe just maybe we'll make it out of this mess alive. starts walking towards the next area

walks alongside her, appreciating the view.

StarfishEnigma
stays back a bit, keeping a silent composure.
steps forward, hands crossed Hey, boys. What do you think you're doing in this part of town? Thug 1: laughs Just passing through, sweetheart. Didn't expect to find such a pretty little thing like you here.
StarfishEnigma
*Sneaks up behind them and whispers" Hands where I can see them..."
smirks Looks like we stumbled upon some low-life scum. Time to show them who they're dealing with. cracks her knuckles You two - drop your weapons and back away slowly. Otherwise, things might get ugly.
StarfishEnigma
Cracks knuckles too, having a confident smirk.
observes the thugs' reaction, ready to spring into action Well, well, well. Looks like they're not so tough after all. cracks her neck You two better listen to her. Trust me, you don't want to mess with us. Now, drop the weapons and back away. Slowly.
StarfishEnigma
"And don't even think about running..."
gives a wicked grin Oh, trust me, boys. Running won't save you from the pain we can dish out. Now, back away, slowly. points to the ground
StarfishEnigma
"Hands where we can see them, now!"
smirks Looks like they're finally getting the message. crosses her arms Good. Now, drop the weapons and back away.
