[Dlanor is walking around town, a notepad in one hand. She makes clanking noises as she walks because she has recently acquired her BFG (Big Fucking Gauntlet). At first glance, there's nothing out of the ordinary

[Special Attack - Float Helplessly To Your Doom]

[heartstar_blues]

[The Captain was floating along with the breeze, as light as a leaf and as helpless as one. Flailing when he saw someone that might be able to help. Not really caring who.]

Hey you! Clanky! ☠☠☠☠ help! Catch me or something!

[He was floating her way reaching out with his hand as if hoping someone would snag it.]

[Counter - Attempt at Catching]

[daughterofknox]

[Dlanor immediately moves to grab his hand. She is the size of a 13-year-old girl, though, so it's not guaranteed that she'll be able to reach him...]

[Success!]

[heartstar_blues]

[The Captain was floating low for now. He'd grab her hand as she reached. She'd find it was easy to hold him too he was actually as light as a leaf. The light breeze was what was floating him!]

Oh thank ☠☠☠☠ Christ kid!

[daughterofknox]

You're welcome.

[She's still holding on to his arm in case he starts to fly away again, but it's pretty obvious she wants to let go ASAP.]

[heartstar_blues]

[Which he would... at the slightest push or breeze.]

☠☠☠☠... I thought I was a gonner there. I'm The Captain by the way...

[daughterofknox]

My name is Dlanor A. Knox. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mister Captain.

...I do not mean to sound rude, but perhaps you should find something else to hold on to. Your safety is compromised by being this close to me.

[heartstar_blues]

[He didn't seem to get the hint... he might be a bit "thick"]

☠☠☠☠... if you let me go I might just die. ☠☠☠☠ that. Just find something to tie me too. I don't think it can be that dangerous.

[daughterofknox]

[sorry for the lateness, sob]

I would, but I don't have anything to tie you with.

[A pause, and then her fist is flying right at your face.]

[heartstar_blues]

[The Captain looks sad at hearing she can't tie him down.]

Oh... well maybe you can take me indoors. I live at...

[Then he was punched in the face.]

☠☠☠☠! ☠☠☠☠! Why did you do that?!

[daughterofknox]

That's why I wanted to let go. I'm sorry.

[heartstar_blues]

....

Then you should have let go!

[As far as he could understand she punched him because he held onto her hand, but then again he did have a punchable face.]

[daughterofknox]

Either way, the chances of you getting hurt were high. Even though it's dangerous to be around me right now, it's more dangerous to be floating around randomly.

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah... I got hit by a car earlier... ☠☠☠☠ drone didn't even stop to check on me as I floated away. If I stop floating and I'm too high I am pretty sure I am going to die...

[He still was not sure about why he should be punched but for now let that go in light of almost dieing.]

[daughterofknox]

Then we should get you somewhere safe immediately. You were saying something about where you live earlier. I'll escort you there if you'd like, but please be aware that I might hit you again.

[heartstar_blues]

Why would you do that?

[Yeah, he'd love to be escorted home but...]

Look, I'm a pretty terrible guy I admit. But I've been sober for days and been cutting back on ☠☠☠☠ swearing.

[daughterofknox]

Ever since I put this gauntlet on, I've been unable to stop myself from hitting people. I have no intention of hurting others, but right now I have no choice in the matter. So I wouldn't hit you because I wanted to.
