005// scenario

[felinemystique]

I see others have mentioned the pink...thing with tentacles. It let go pretty easily when I hit it, but I still wouldn't recommend getting near it. Seems to have a pretty good grip.

So the last couple days have been educational, to say the least. For example, I am apparently more frightening than a pink tentacle thing. But as Drake said, and I'm

Wow. All this chatter about tentacle monster is making me really glad I'm lost below-deck.

Are you one of the ninjas I've been hearing about?

[felinemystique]

...I don't know, actually. All I know is that I'm a fighter of some kind. And I found that out by chance.

Yeah, it's probably for the best that you were below deck. I personally was around it longer than I would have liked.

[unlostsoul]

I am so not looking forward to discovering stuff like that by chance. That'd be intensely creepy, I think.

And really, can any length of time be too short where tentacle monsters are involved?

[felinemystique]

I was attacked. I'd rather have discovered it than have been injured because I didn't know how to fight back.

...You would think not. You would really, really think not, but that doesn't seem to be true for everyone.

[snowburned]

Having met both you and the pink...thing...I wasn't frightened of either, but the creature was definitely more off-putting.

[felinemystique]

Thank you. I swear, men must take lessons on how to inadvertently insult women.

[snowburned]

Yes, definitely. It's not as if some of us can help how tall we are!

[felinemystique]

None of us can help that. How moronic.

And who wouldn't be mad about having to pry tentacles off some idiot who'd just walked right into them?

[twoninths]

Charming and competent in the face of pink, squishy crisis? Bastet, my darling, run away with me!

Or, alternately, let me stand behind you if it ever comes back.

[felinemystique]

How could I say no, Argent? It'd be a shame if anything happened to a man like you.

[twoninths]

Then my life is in your hands in case of all future tentacle attacks. Really, I wouldn't want it any other way.

[felinemystique]

I assure you, I'm the picture of grace and humility in accepting this honor, and am not at all delighted by having lured a man into my clutches.

[felinemystique]

Heh. I'm not sure you'd be interested in this one--I hit it once and it ran away.

[felinemystique]

I have a feeling it won't be long until something else comes along that you can go up against.

[child_proteus]

Spar, like fighting? Like practice, or something?

This may sound a bit weird, but would you possibly be interested in beating me up?

[felinemystique]

Yeah, just practice, to see what we were capable of.

We can spar. Beating people up is something I'd like to save for special occasions.

[child_proteus]

That totally sounds like something I need to do right now. Freak-out time in the wilderness has be curious what I'm capable of. Though I'd imagine I'm not quite ninja material.

Actually, in addition to sparring, I am in the neighborhood for finding somebody to beat me up. Weird request, I know. It's kind of an experiment. Or something.

[felinemystique]

I've got no problem sparring, but if you want anything beyond that...maybe talk to Trust. Or Toushi. They're more the brawler type.

Mind if I ask what that's all about?
