[ i'm sorry to say that he does have reflexes, and since i rolled a 1 and not a 2, the punch connects! except it's in the palm of his hand and not his gut. option 2 was straight up teleporting.

but okay. he shakes out his hand a little because a punch still has some impact, but it's better. ]

Okay. That's...a good sign. [ said in a tone that says "who the fuck taught you to punch." ]

[ Honestly, she just deflates a little, like she's disappointed by the outcome. ]

Figures... I guess that's something.

[westedge]

[ raising an eyebrow. ]

Were you expecting something else? [ i say, screaming in aini. ]

[adorabrawler]

[ lol lmao ]

... Nah, it's nothing. Anyway, there you go. I hit that hard.

[westedge]

Yeah, that counts. You're probably doing better than I was at twelve, so good job.

[adorabrawler]

Were you going around swinging at everyone at my age?

[westedge]

[ haha, well. ]

Maybe not everyone. But if you didn't know how to defend yourself you were expected to learn really quick whether you liked it or not.

[adorabrawler]

[ pfft ]

Some things are the same no matter where you go, huh.

[westedge]

Sounds about right, for better or worse. [ dumb. but unsurprising in a way. ] What're you defending yourself from?

[ he gets that it's a weird question but. he's also aware people come from all sorts of fucky worlds and he's kind of hoping she's not about to go "i punch monsters in the face" and calls it a day. ]

[adorabrawler]

Aliens. They built a base on the moon and have been trying to conquer Earth since.

[westedge]

[ he's nodding along and taking this seriously even if he does not believe her in the slightest. even the bizarre worlds were a little more skewed than that. ]

Ah, I see. No success from them though, I take it.

[adorabrawler]

Well, last I heard they completely took over Hakkaido...

[westedge]

So it's really only a matter of time...

[adorabrawler]

It's a very dire situation. That's why I end up fighting aliens almost every day.

[westedge]

Wow. Stronger than any marine. [ dry. but believable. ] You probably don't have to punch as hard with people, but...can't hurt either.

[ if it keeps her safe, it keeps her safe. ]

[adorabrawler]

Nah, some people really deserve it.

[westedge]

I didn't say they didn't. But probably not all of them.

[adorabrawler]

Naaah. M'only gonna punch anyone who tries anything with me.

[westedge]

Then they'd definitely deserve it. As far as I figure, even if you don't start it you have no reason not to finish it.

[adorabrawler]

Yeah, exactly—and I know how to knock a guy out.

[westedge]

It'd at least buy you enough time. That counts.

[adorabrawler]

[ a nod ]

Just enough time to make a break for it.

[westedge]

[ ...hm. ]

You've been practicing with your psych at all? You could put some more power in your punches with the speed bursts.

[adorabrawler]

I've toyed around with it a little. It does make up for some things—like the momentum you can get from it.

[westedge]

Teleporting, too. If you disappear and reappear behind someone you can knock them out from behind before they can react. Invisibility, too.
