When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

Uh... I...

[ Gosh, she really doesn't know what to do without a weapon and she doesn't quite know how to throw a punch. After awkwardly standing around for a little while longer, she picks up a rock and pelts the dummy with it. ]

[Points for creativity at the very least. Nail a person with a decent-sized rock and with enough force and you could do some damage. At the very least, it would buy her time to get away or find help if she did throw it hard enough. But pelting doesn't really cut it.]

Alright, [Cassandra says with a small nod. She bends down to one knee beside Elize.] Show me how you make a fist.

O-okay...

[ She balls her hand up, clenching her fingers against her palm. Her thumb is tucked inside her hand though. ]

Like this?
openhands: (in here)

[personal profile] openhands 2015-10-22 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Take your thumb out. You'll hurt your hand otherwise.

[Cassandra shows her the proper way to hold her fist.]
princessia: (skit - 07)

Oh! O-okay...

[ She switches the position of her thumb, properly placing it over her fingers. ]

You... want me to punch the dummy?
openhands: (the old way)

[personal profile] openhands 2015-11-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[This is said with an exceptional amount of patience that Cassandra would not afford to literally anyone else.]
princessia: (skit - 12)

[ Give her a moment to stare at the dummy a little longer... then she steps closer, punching it as hard as she can. After her fist makes an impact, she recoils and shakes her hand. ]

...ow.

[Well, you know, that was a little better than Cassandra would have expected.]

You punched with the flats of your fingers, that's why it hurt.

[Cassandra demonstrates with her hands, one curled into a fist and the other perpendicular to the ground. She lightly bumps her fist against the palm of her open hand.]

Hit with your knuckles. [Cassandra bends her wrist down and bumps her fist against her hand again.] It will hurt less and avoid hurting your wrist or arm.
