A gentle touch...

[Rigner]

Rigner was walking through the park one cold, bitter day, holding his left arm with his right hand, his right with his left and squeezing tightly as he tried to retain his body heat. The reason he was outside exploring on such a cold day was because he wanted to get as far away from any people as possible, including his mother if he could. So he went out of the house and to the park, wishing only to be alone for a bit. But now he was cold from trudging through the snow around him... and he was lost, so it's not like he could just go back home and warm up.And then, not really paying attention, the witch child bumped into an older-looking tank who must have also been exploring this area. "Watch where you're going, stupid!" The older male yelled at him, but he just ignored him and walked off. Suddenly angered, the tank grabbed the now-frightened Rigner by his hair and pulled him back, spinning him around to face him. "I SAID watch where you're going!" "Sorry...." was the only word that came out of his mouth, before his head was almost being forced into a rather large pile of snow and ice on the ground. He heard the tougher male booming over him. "I don't CARE that you're sorry! Little pup needs to be trained not to do that anymore! So.. little 'pet'.." He spat this word like it was venom. "When you bump into people, and don't apologize right away.. your face gets all cold! Got it!?" And as he said this, the tank boy shoved Rigner's face closer to the snowbank, almost making his nose wet with snow.

No use chasing after that then... Meral thought to herself, disappointed in missing out on catching a mouse.
She had been hunting for a small snack in the park to quell the knaw of hunger in her stomach.
Suddenly, Meral caught onto the smell of a witch and a tank.
Both male, eh? She followed the scent of the two infected boys.
The smaller witch was shrinking back in fear as the tank dangled him by his hair above the cold ground. Meral knew she had to do something, but tanks were pretty dangerous to deal with...but she couldn't watch something like this go on.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing to him, douchebag?!" Meral shouted in the direction of the tank.

((I imagine Meral would be all "come at me bro" to the tank))

Suddenly, a blur of blue and black shreiked into the scene before meeting the side of the Tank's face with a powerful Huntress kick. Normally, this force would send a grown man hard to the ground, but considering the size and strength of the target, it would cause the Tank to stagger at least a medium deal at best. The figure then quickly backed off near Meral.

"If anyone needs to learn any manners, it's you! So why don't you pick a fight with someone more close to your size, you big coward!?" Jiji snarled towards the Tank as she looked at him with a fearsome yet beautiful glare. She held a defensive stance, serious about even considering engaging in a fight, with a Tank even! She was either crazy or blind, perhaps even stupid or ignorant, who knew?

Truth was she had her fair share of experience fighting Tanks. As exceedingly dangerous as Tanks are, they are easier to take down than you'd think... well, at least if you had the speed, agility, and knew what you were doing that is. Most fights were just to get away, though there had been rare occasions she was force to kill or be killed. First time she was nearly killed before she took her chances at playing dead. Another time, she was quick enough to snap the Tank's leg with a kick before he could crush her. She had learned strength means nothing if you weren't fast enough to even hit your target, and such power can be used against a slow foe in this way which was her strategy against Tanks.

Anyway, back to the present. That was then, what about now? Was this an adult Tank or teen or kid? How aggressive is he? Well, unfortunately she wasn't quick enough to pull the Witch child away from this Tank.

"You should be the one apologizing!" She said, having had heard the entire conversation while she had been playing with her child in the snow. Wait, her child! Tyler! Crap! When she had overheard the bully, she had went into a fit of rage and forgot all else! Alright, just deal with this Tank as quickly as possible and go straight back to Tyler before he decides to go on an "adventure" again.

(XD BEAUTIFUL posts, ladies ...)

The tank turned to "greet" the new females that dared approach him.. especially the one who had kicked him upside the head! His speech was a little off, his lower jaw was slightly dislocated. "Wah, hawoh whedish.. hahseh tah da seh.." A loud cracking was heard as the tank boy re-located his lower jaw to the rest of his jaw, the way it would fit naturally... er, ALMOST naturally.... and began again."Ahh... that's better. You girls are just in time to see this kid get a faceful o' snow! Stick around, you could be next! hhhaah!" And with that, the young adult- or youth- placed one of his beefy hands to the back of the witch child's head, punching him far down to where his nose barely touched the cold.

Rigner's scalp was starting to hurt now,but then again he WAS being lifted just above the wet, cold white stuff by just his long, silvery locks. He could just hear two female voices past the screams inside his head demanding "KICK HIM AND RUN!" Or simply stating the obvious: "Pain... pain.. pain.." But what could he really do about this? A tank was bullying him, it's not like it was another witch, or a hunter even. Tanks are pretty hard to bruise! So he simply tried pleading. "Please.. just... let me gooo! I'm sorry-" He was cut off by a cold, wet feeling on the tip of his nose. There was no use in arguing, kicking or even pleading now... the only thing that COULD happen now was a face full of snow. So he just lay there, centimeters from having his face submerged in the frozen rain. There was nothing else he could do..

Meral pulled the small witch boy out of the snow, and charged at the tank.
"You think the kid likes being attacked like that?"
She lunged onto the tank's back, tearing into the spine of the beast with her jaws. Blood squirted into her eye socket.
"Egh!" Meral rubbed her sleeve against her socket.
Meral dug her nails into the tank's shoulders and yanked back. The little witch boy stared in awe, these hunters were crazy!
The tank staggered backwards in pain, and toppled into the snow. Meral felt a sharp pain in her foot, and gazed down at the mangled limb. Her ankle was twisted, and hurt terribly.
"O-OUCH!" Meral wasn't the type to cry out of pain. Ever. Her eye wandered around the sight of destruction. The little boy was cowering in the corner, and the other huntress was wiping dirt off her clothing.
"Heh...everybody okay?" Meral managed to squeak out.

Though he's an NPC, slight character manipulation with tank... Mangled limb? What, he AUTOMATICALLY hurt her? Or was that from other means? And what about Rigner? "The little witch boy stared in awe, these hunters were crazy! " OR "The little boy was cowering in the corner, and the other huntress was wiping dirt off her clothing." Granted, he probably would do this anyways.. but it's MYY character. Please take that into consideration next post?

akjfhdkjfhk I'm so dumb.

(Hey, dn't beat yourself up.. It's cool. Just helping you improve your posts..)

[Meral-Donei]

(thanks. your turn I suppose?)

[CrimsonAngelofShadow]

Jiji stared back at the Tank in fear after what Meral had done. Sure, it looked like she gave the big Tank a good score, but she knew better than to think a Tank would be taken down so easily by just that. The key was to make them "beat up themselves". As if by instinct, she suddenly rushed at the two children and snatched them by their waists under each arm and dashed off. As the Tank was just getting up behind them, she made a swift jump before landing on top of the Tank's skull and then jumping off from there to on top of a swing set, then from there to the monkey bars, and then a top a slide before accidentally slipping from the ice and sliding down with with the kids to the bottom.

"Run, you fools!" She uttered in a very urgent tone as she quickly got up and tried to help the two up. It was then she remembered her baby. Crap! He was back there near the tree almost close to the Tank! Without a second thought, she ran off back supposedly towards the Tank whom was rushing right after them in an angry fury.

[Rigner]

The tank was slowly starting stand, his head aching from getting a blast to the skull. Rubbing at his left temple, he got up and began stumbling towards the pair. "Not your smartest move, ladies.. you know, I usually don't hit a girl, but.. I think I'll make an exception." Screaming, the teen got up and started running at them, screaming out of pure hatred as he was going into a full tank rage.

Rigner just sat in awe as the tank was knocked to the ground by a simple kick- from a girl, no less. Nothing against women, or tanks, but a simple kick was enough to take him down? Either this tank was very weak, or this girl has been training for awhile.. But even when the tank got back up and started stumbling towards him, he couldn't force himself to move. He was frozen in place, somehow! But luckily the female that had first decided to help him had rushed over and swooped him up, placing him out of the way of the Tank barreling down towards them. He noticed her rushing back and called to her, hoping she would gain some sanity. "WAIT! Come back, he'll kill you, it's no good to fight him!"

[Meral-Donei]

Meral let loose a snarl at the tank. The beast was rushing quickly towards the three small infected.
"Don't you touch them you motherf-" Too late. The tank had already knocked Meral out of Jiji's grip, making her launch into the air.
Meral landed standing on her hands, tumbling over as she lost her balance. She landed painfully on her side. She jumped away from the barreling figure, watching in terror as the tank rushed toward the huntress and witch boy. She then knew she had to distract the freak.
She climbed swiftly up the tree nearest to the scene, and when the tank was closest, she crashed back down onto his back.
It was like she was a jockey, digging her claws into his eye sockets and heaving her body backwards.
She felt warm, scarlet blood flowing onto her digits. Now the steroid-head wouldn't be able to see!
"Ha! Serves ya right you-OOF!" The tank was roaring in pain, and in doing so had jerked his body without warning, making Meral land onto her foot, injuring it even further. She snapped her teeth loudly. Even lying in pain on the ground, she still had fight left in her.

[Rigner]

The brutish tank boy was shocked by the sudden force to his back, feeling claws going into his flesh as whoever it was was trying to hold their grip. It was probably one of those girls, the boy was too wuss to do that. He'd roared at them as he tried shaking them off, "Let go you little wench! I'll-", though that only resulted in a very sharp pain in his eyes, then the deep color of blood, and a few moments after blackness had absorbed the boy's vision. Screaming, the muscle-bound teen threw his hands to his eyes in a failed attempt to stop the bleeding, writhing in pain, which eventually caused the girl to fall to the ground and leave him to his agony. He left quickly, stumbling blindly with these last words: "I'll never bully anyone again, I'm sorry! Just don't hit me again!" <E>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rigner stood there, bewildered and somewhat terrified, as one of the females had just jumped the tank and was now shredding his eyes into a gory mess. He had to turn away at that moment, blood and guts always made him nauseous. Once he'd heard the cry of pain he'd know it ended, so he glanced back to see the tank bully storming out of there! It made him slightly happy, slightly terrified to see it. This girl was willing to kill for him, all because he was being bullied! Sure, an excellent bodyguard, but she was going to go to such extremes just to keep someone safe? Still, she'd saved him, so Rigner nervously crept over to both females and spoke in a near whisper "Um.. th-thank you."
