Re: day 19

So it's like punching.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

I don't know where you get that connection from. But yeah, probably. Just like any fighting technique.

Re: day 19

Leon taught me how to punch earlier. He says he has to stay strong to fight bioterrorism, so he has to do his exercises for it every day. I guess he fell behind on them when he got here.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

That'd be pretty easy to fall behind on. There's always something else that needs done.

[She thinks, since she keeps finding work for herself.]

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

Really? I feel like there's so much free time... But then again, I'm used to a very strict schedule.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Does that mean you'll be spending a lot of time practicing punching things?

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

[ playfully tapping Aloy's arm with her fist, ]

Why? Are you volunteering?

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Ouch.

[It’s not a very believable ‘ouch.’]

Leon might be the better choice for this.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

So I can tell him you volunteered him for punching practice?

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Of course you can. He should finish what he started, shouldn't he?

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

Follow-through is the most important part!

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Must've heard that one from him.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

Maybe. Have you ever punched someone?

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Yeah, but I don’t prefer it. Tend to get further reminding people of my spear.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

[ slowly the town comes into view ]

I don't know if I could ever be intimidating enough even having a spear would ward someone off...

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

[It's been a good walk, especially for a nerdclone.]

But the punch was going to do it?

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

It'll catch them off guard, at least.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Whatever it takes. Just don't try catching me.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

[ SUDDENLY VERY CONCERNED

somewhere out there airi remembers being socked by aloy and shudders ]

I'd never try to punch you!

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

[A slight shoulder bump.]

Good. Don't forget that.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

[ bumping her back, casually: ]

Besides, I could just disable your Focus instead.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

Don’t do that.

[this is sort of an apology tour for disappointing beta yesterday, BUT STILL]

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

I won't, I promise.

Re: day 19

[despitethenora]

[Steering her toward the movie theater.]

Bad enough that I kept ending up with spyware on it.

Re: day 19

[nobetawedielike]

Could disable Sylens's focus.
