[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

POLKA DOT: You feel that energy?
CROSSBONE: Definitely something in the air...
POLKA DOT: Kinda reminds me of something.
 

You smirk, Cross snickering out a line of beeps.

CROSSBONE: What's with that goofy face?
POLKA DOT: It's just- I've felt that kind of electricity before.
CROSSBONE: Uh huh.
POLKA DOT: It's almost li-!
 

The hatchet swipe that comes out at you just barely misses your neck, instinct taking over as you swing at Cross' legs and in turn, just barely miss her thigh.

The two of you stagger and immediately turn back to face each other, your expressions somewhere between fierce and excited. Even though she still struck out at you...it's clear from the little hearts above her pixel character's head that your playful teasing is keeping her mind at least a little distracted.

You're having fun!









....Tim on the other hand, is not.

He starts across the bridge, every step feeling like his legs are covered in lead. His head is pounding, seemingly made worse by the fact that Devo's tensing up, ready for him.

He gets close enough for Devo to lunge, a flash of red just barely visible to the dog as he tries to dodge-

-only for it to be a fake out, Devo switching directions and getting Tim in the upper leg.

DEVO: GOT you!
 

A quick blow of the whistle.

ORTHO: One point for Devo!
 

Tim's frozen for a moment, processing what just happened.

DEVO: You okay, man?
 

Devo stands up straight, stretching for a moment before getting back into fighting stance.

TIMOTHY: I wasn't-
TIMOTHY: You got me!
DEVO: Yeah! Yeah, I actually did.
DEVO: Don't hold back on me though, alright?
