[spoiler]Nice emblem change.[/spoiler] "Guess now all that is left is to take out the trash. But just to be safe..." [b]Audax starts hammering the bush into oblivion.[/b]
-
*Before he can start, she suddenly darts out of the bush, running around the courtyard screaming.*
-
"How the heck did you survive?" [b]Audax pulls a huge tree out of the ground and swings it at the aardwolf.[/b]
-
*The tendrils wrap around her. When the tree hits her she flies like a baseball straight through the doors on Sketch's box.*
-
"That was unfortunate." [b]Audax walks over to the box.[/b]
-
*Sketch steps out wearing a black t-shirt with the number [i]142[/i] on it and wearing gray cargo shorts.* "What the h@$$ is going on out here???"
-
"Just the person I wanted to see... sort of. This aardwolf broke into the dojo and is causing havoc with these strange tendrils of energy that seem to be sporting out of it. Do you know how to stop it?"
-
"Oh, are you talking about the creature that is currently hiding under my couch scared out of her mind saying someone is trying to kill her and that the orange is back? Are you talking about that?"
-
"Yes. What is the orange?"
-
"Well I'd assume she's talking about the orange tendrils."
-
"That is what I was expecting. Do you know anything about it? I was trying to get rid of it without leveling this part of the dojo."
-
"Why were you trying to get rid of her? What did she do?" *He asks, his ears tilting back.*
-
"Well, she broke into the dojo illegally. When I tried to escort her out, she attacked me. Seems like a pretty good reason to me."
-
*He turns back to the glowing orange shivering mass of fur underneath his couch then back to Audax.* "She seems far too afraid to have attacked first. I really don't believe you."
-
"She doesn't really seem in control of the orange energy. That makes her all the more dangerous."
-
"That means maybe you should leave her alone... When did she start glowing?"
-
"Once I tried escorting her peacefully out of the dojo."
-
*Dalien "Point bang maker at me! Pick up!" *Sketch turns back to him.* "You pointed a gun at just the first animal you saw? And then you tried picking her up???
-
"How the heck did you get all that from 'Point bangmaker at me'? And yes, I did point a gun at her. It is standard protocol to have your weapons aimed at any felon with unknown abilities. And I only picked her up to carry her out of the dojo."
-
*Sketch points at one of Audax's guns.* "Back when I was teaching myself English, I used to call guns [i]pow makers.[/i] And whether they can talk or not, you don't just pick up a wild animal! Did you even know she could talk before you pointed the gun at her?"
-
"Uh, yeah. And I would do the same to a human if they broke into the dojo."
-
"So... Do you just shoot at every bird that lands here?"
-
"Birds are unintelligent animals, and should be treated as such. If someone wants some fried bird, by all means they should just kill the nearest bird. However, this creature demonstrated slight intelligence, and I treated him as an intelligent species. That means he is subject to the law. If you would like to make the argument that he is an unintelligent animal, then why is it such a crime to be killing him? If he is an intelligent animal, then he clearly broke the law."
-
"Okay, first off, it's clear she's a female from her voice. Now, I'm not sure she even understands the concept of law. Just because something can talk, doesn't mean it instantly knows the laws of wherever it is. Now, how about you try helping me figure out why she's here at all instead of attacking and threatening her?"
-
"Just because one does not understand the concept of law does not put them above it. If a child murders someone, they are still punished. But if you can communicate with her, by all means do."
