[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

It's you and Devo in the building, now. He's a few steps away and still clutching at his knife, watching and waiting.

POLKA DOT: You scared?
DEVO: No.
DEVO: Just trying to figure out how I'd do this.
 

You take another step back, getting some distance between the two of you as you brace yourself for his next move.

DEVO: Are you scared?
POLKA DOT: You got one point on me. I gotta keep you from getting a second one.
DEVO: Gonna make me rush for it...
 

He takes a step towards you, just a single one.

DEVO: Playing dirty with a guy who can't walk super well.
POLKA DOT: You stabbed me just fine earlier!
DEVO: You were loud! It was easy to line up.
 

He snickers, getting into a fighting stance.

DEVO: Cmon, then. I'm making you approach first.
DEVO: Ortho taught me not to overextend.

Tim takes a moment to steel his nerves before hopping over the side of the bridge, landing with a flop and grabbing his sword.

Roulette releases its stance, leaning its scythe down as if to tap his head with the blade to secure another point.

It hesitates, though, then turns it sideways and holds it down within his reach.

ROULETTE: I can pull you up.
ROULETTE: We can resume afterwards.
TIMOTHY: ...won't that count as a point? You're still touching me with the weapon.
ROULETTE: Not the blade.
ORTHO: That's fine, I'm not gonna be a stickler for stuff like that.
ORTHO: If you aren't attacking, it's not a point.
 

Tim nods and grabs hold.

Roulette pulls him up and out of the foam moat, to the southeast side.
It then backs away and raises its weapon.

ROULETTE: Ready?
TIMOTHY: Ready!

OOC: Reminder that you can only do one action (MOVE, PROTECT, ATTACK) with every “turn”- it may help us out to include which one you’re suggesting in your post. If there’s multiple actions that seem like they’d lead to a good story, we may pick to do that- but also give the opponents extra actions as well.
