[ oh my god ]

Well, I think you need to work on your distance... Or try to hit it harder and knock it out long enough for you to get away!

[notzubats]

I KNOW I cant do that!!

[maschinenpistole]

Just don't give up!!

Are there other trees you can sneak back and forth between until help arrives? Just in case!

And speaking of help arriving, is someone coming for you yet or not? Should I come get you? Hypothetically~

[ It's like saving a cat from a tree... right? ]

[notzubats]

CAN you do something to help?! [SINCE AFTER THE LAST ADVICE HE'S A LITTLE SKEPTICAL OK]

[maschinenpistole]

[ Hey. you're the one who hit it. :| ]

I can give it something else to be mad about while you run! Everybody wins.

[ She ain't afraid of no bear. She deals with a freakin' oni on a daily basis. ]

[maschinenpistole]

I'll be okay! ^.^v Where are you?

[ Give her a little bit of time to get in a shuttle and head your way, and get over the whole ewgrosspollutedmoon bit.... ]

[notzubats]

[oh okay he is unsure about this, but anything is better than being eaten by a bear]

north of town? by the caves

aaand -> action!

[maschinenpistole]

[ So yeah, it takes a little while, but eventually Sora will see a young girl in a pretty simple black breathing mask making her way over. Thankfully, she can still speak with the damn thing on, so she's still able to do some fancy stuff: ]

Shortcut: ball!

[ Poof! A blue rubber ball appears in front of her. She grabs it, chucks it at the bear's head, and... really wishes, again, that she wasn't masked, because she's griiiinning something fierce right now~ ]

Oi! Bear! Come pick on me for a bit, huh? I'm actually on the ground!

[ And again: ] Shortcut: ball! [ Poof! Another, and she chucks that one at the bear, too~ ]

action!

[notzubats]

[The balls hit the bear's head! And it definitely gets her attention. She roars and turns to look at the source- pulling away from the tree to menace on her]

[Sora meanwhile is still up in the tree, just trying to wrap his mind around his. This girl showed up and is now...throwing balls at the bear??? Magic balls?? Should he be worried??? ]

[maschinenpistole]

[ Don't worry! At least, not yet. Doot doot...

But the bear is moving away from the tree! Perfect. She waves an arm above her head, signaling to Sora. ]

It's okay! Start running, I'll catch up to you in town!

[ And with her attention back on the bear, she starts taking steps backwards and away from the tree, slooowly, trying to make sure the beast doesn't turn back around... ]

Hmm, you know, I should probably come up with an escape plan for myself... Eheh.

[ ... good job, Kotoha. ]

[notzubats]

[There's a good signal. He starts jumping down the tree branches with ease, planning to get out of there as fast as he can-]

[At least until he hears that last part]

- You don't have a plan for yourself?!

[maschinenpistole]

[ She waves her hands at him in a shooing motions because NO DON'T STOP YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RUN! >: ]

It's fine, it's fine! Just give me a minute to think... Umm...

[ And while she's doing that, tapping her chin with one finger, the bear's just going to keep on closing in on her. So she rolls with the first thing that comes to mind: ]

Shortcut: koi!

[ Poof! Yep, that's a fish. She throws it to the side, hoping The bear's hungry enough to go after it! And, you know, hopefully it likes fish. Bears like fish, right? They're supposed to, aren't they?! ]

[notzubats]

[Well, it does work in distracting the bear! It gives another bear roar and lumbers over to sniff it out. Since hey- fish >>> people]

[maschinenpistole]

[ OH GOOD. Mission accomplished, bear is distracted! And so with that, she takes off running toward Sora. But first... ]

Shortcut: wall!

[ Poof! It's by no means an impressive wall - more like a 7ft-squared block of stone - but it gets the job done, she thinks, considering it's directly between the bear and the two of them. She nods to Sora. ]

Told you~ Let's get out of here!

[notzubats]

Wow-

[Yep, Sora is suddenly much more impressed! But now that there's an opening for both of them, he'll jump down onto the ground with ease and run over to meet her]

Yeah, good idea!

[maschinenpistole]

Nice landing.

[ Consider her impressed, too - you're not quite just human, are you, kid...?

Regardless, yes! Running now! Just in case that bear moves around the wall and sees them again (oh god please no dfjslka ) ]

Are you okay otherwise? Ahh, I'm Kotoha, by the way!

[notzubats]

Oh- thanks! [Hey he is...mostly? Maybe? It's kinda vague] I'm Sora.

[Yes definitely running!]

I'm fine- how'd you do all that?!

[maschinenpistole]

[ Sounds like a good time~ ]

Ah, I'm a kotodama user. It's the power of words. It's not always that easy, I was lucky! I've made all of those things several times before, so it was faster!

[notzubats]

The power of words....

Whoa so like- you just say words, and it makes stuff?!

[maschinenpistole]

Mhm! It's pretty handy in a pinch. Unless it's something complicated, then I have to get creative...

Do you not have anything like that where you're from?

[notzubats]

Well- there's people with powers? But nothing that powerful, as far as I know.

[maschinenpistole]

Ah! At least you have people with powers. It's even harder trying to explain to someone who comes from somewhere with nothing at all like that.

[ She's lookin' at u, plain ol' vanilla versions of Earth. ]

Do you have powers too?

[ Forgive her nosiness, she's friendly, promise! ]

[notzubats]

Oh. I can imagine that.

[Something like trying to explain pokemon to everyone. But he blinks some at her question]

Me? [was it obvious?] Uh- a couple, yeah!

[maschinenpistole]

[ If she found out about pokemon, she would probably squeal with excitement. ]

Ahh, cool! Like what?

[ Nope, not obvious. She really is just that nosy... ]
