Look at the time, it's OC-o'clock! [For SRWUG@]

[There's a new girl on the Chalice again... This one looks really bright and cheery, though.] Hi everyone! I'm Jukai Tokura. Um... It's nice to meet you all, I hope we get along! [She bows, smiling.] I'm looking forward to being able to help everyone!

(When Jukai arrives she is greeted by an odd sight. Before her is Seymour sitting at a fancy table drinking fine wine and eating high grade steak. He looks at her having heard her call to him.)

You wish to fight me? Bad choice. Someone as poor as you could never defeat me.

[hero_signal]

Um. [Nope, no sense made. But once Seymour starts talking...]

Poor? What does that have to do with anything? It's all about strength and spirit! [A brief glance at the random lunch.] And I'm not sure how much of that you have, if you're going to mock me by coming up here to eat before you fight me! Though, that is a good-looking steak...

[screws_rules]

Money does matter. How else are you supposed to get weaponry? And those with money can get better weapons. I can tell that you are poor because of how old and outdated your VFX Modulator is. Though I suppose it fits you.

As for how much money I have, I lost count. Last I checked it was in the multi-billions. And as for my steak, of course it is good. It is sirloin steak fixed by my finest chefs who I have hired from around the Earth Sphere.

[hero_signal]

Oh, it is on! You're not going to get away with that! And I'm not going easy on you! [Jukai holds out her hand, as if expecting something to appear, and mumbles something Seymour doesn't hear, probably on purpose. And then...] Dawnblade, shine!

[And now there's a sword there. Shiny, isn't it- oh hey, here she comes.]

Indeed I am, I'll even give you the first attack.

[hero_signal]

My, that's kind of you! [Without further preamble, Jukai runs into melee range; no sense in starting off with trump cards, right? And she'll lead off with a punch to the gut! It's worked before.]

[elder_deus_ex]

[The man takes one step back as Jukai approaches, lowering one hand to block the gut punch with his palm.]

A brash move. It could also be a very foolish one when if you don't know the strength of your opponent.

[hero_signal]

Stronger than I expected...! [Jukai knows she's in trouble; she pushes off the block to open some space.]

What should I do here... Let's try this. O guardian soul, appear before me and shield me from harm! [And the object on her arm glows, something appearing next to her: something about twice her size, bulky, with thick arms and a big mounted shield.] Double team time, go! [She sends the golem forward to attack!]

[And today, the person taking care of Jukai just happens to be Yui. While she did just patch up the other girl, Yui's just fine with holding her by the hurt wrist right now.]

You've got better things to do today than go get yourself killed.

[hero_signal]

Ow. Ow, ow, ow. [She's wincing, but there's a determined look through the pain.] I... I can still fight! Let me go!

[gamenojikan]

Jukai, I could take you in a fight now. Without the use of our weapons. An actual foe would tear you apart.

Rest up. I'll handle this one.

[hero_signal]

[Jukai still resists for a few seconds, but eventually she gives up.] Fine... I don't like leaving jobs half-done, but I guess I don't have a choice. I'll be a good girl and stay here.

...Be careful out there. I don't want you getting hurt because you're taking over.
