[Action]

[LUCETI, HO FARE THEE ON THE HIGH SEAS TODAY? Because Melaka the Sailor is having a grand ol time. Aboard her mighty ship she is bound to islands and countries unknown in search of fame and fortune to make a good name for herself now that she has discovered that this is the true route to making your dreams happen! And she is doing this-!

...Well in actuality with her piercings back in place (and a few new bits of jewelry on her over the course of the day, such as silver bracelets and such) she is in a wagon which she is "sailing" all through town, going to various "islands" (houses) and "lands unknown" (buildings and shops) or "countries" (community buildings) to go exploring and looking for her fame and fortune. She might encounter numerous monsters or challenges or the like along the way, but it sure promises to be a fantastic adventure.

Why don't you guys get involved? ...Or question why she's standing on a wagon with an oar pushing it on the ground to go around town if you want to not be sucked into the tale. Both work. Just know she is armed just in case]

[bamfing]

Ah, so it's a fight then, yeah? Don't expect me to take it easy on you just because you're pretty.

[makeitquick]

Yeah, fig'd it'd be like that. [And... well she tends to carry weapons, so she reaches down for a sword, instead picks up a stick. Close enough]

[bamfing]

[He snatches one up with his tail, tossing it into his hand with style.]

Any last words?

[makeitquick]

Oughta ask you!

[And with that, she goes in for her first strike. ...She does have super strength, but it's subverted a bit by the fact they're on, well, a wagon. and she thinks she can't get off it]

[bamfing]

[Super strength is all good and well if she can land a hit. And on a small platform like this, he has the advantage of agility. And feet that can easily grip the side as he lets himself fall back to avoid the strike, then push himself back up into a crouch as he goes for a leg sweep,]

[makeitquick]

[Which she tries to jump - which doesn't work because, well, wagon. She ends up landing outside the wagon. That's. Awkward. She steps back on]

[bamfing]

[Her jumping off the wagon just meant he was able to take more of it for himself. And he also jabs at her with the stick to make it even more difficult to reclaim it.]

[makeitquick]

[Fuuuh- that's not working well. She crouches to evade that blow as she she can but- well. Now she's "Drowning." That's problematic for this fight. So let's just get on the boat and put up fists. Swordfighting is so last year]

[bamfing]

[Head tilt.]

A fist fight?

[makeitquick]

...That off-book?

[bamfing]

... well, I don't really like hitting girls. [Somehow it's better to hit them with a sword or stick.]

[makeitquick]

...Serious?

[bamfing]

My father taught me it wasn't right!

[makeitquick]

Wow, that's some spled manners.

[bamfing]

... does spled mean good?

[makeitquick]

Oh. Right- yeah it does.

[Nod. She lowers her fists, even]

[bamfing]

[He lowers his stick, then.]

Truce, then?

[makeitquick]

Sure thing. [And she offers a hand to shake]

[bamfing]

[... is this a trick? Nah. She's cool. He offers his hand in turn.]

[makeitquick]

[And she's not quite sure how to position with those fingers, but she does what seems natural and... shake]

[bamfing]

[Afterward, he'll hop off the wagon. It's kind of crowded up here.]

So what's with the wagon?

[makeitquick]

It's a ship. Some kinda sailor here.

[bamfing]

... it's not much of a ship, is it?

[He says it sympathetically. Playing out these fairy tales is kind of embarrassing at times.]

[makeitquick]

...It is kinda small, yeah. [Sheepishly] Not a lotta ships back in Haddyn though.

[bamfing]

Landlocked, huh? [As much as Kurt loves pirates (as a concept), he has practically no experience in sailing. Unless a cruise ship counts.]
