"Thoughts and Text" 'mid dialogue actions'
Demos: as long as I have energy in the morning I will make you breakfast, and I don't need a favor or money, I'll just do it because I want to, now enough about me enjoy your breakfast
Time skip 30 minutes.
Demos and Catherina finish eating.
Demos: Shall we get going?
Catherina: Oh yeah I forgot mention, the others assigned us to explore and draw the island, so we can have a map
Demos: A map? Phew good thing we are on it as it means less fighting for me
Catherina grabs her dark blue sheath with her katana in it, then both of them walk out of the house and onto the shore. Demos takes out a notebook and pen that they found in the house as he opens the notebook and flips the first page so he has the double page to work on as he draws a little house in the bottom Middle and under the house draws three horizontal curved lines.
Demos: this will represent the base and that's on the shore
Catherina: hmmm... The house representing home, and the curved lines representing the ocean, I like it
Demos: and with what you told me last night, North is a forest then further is a deep Forest and to the east is a plains, for now I'll just write the words Forest, deep Forest, and plains.... What's your thoughts?
Catherina: my thoughts? Like my opinion.... Hmm.... It's the best solution with the knowledge we have so far
Demos:... Do others not as-... Nevermind "do people not ask for her opinions?..." Where do you think we should go
Catherina: umm... I thin-... The most logical solution should be examining the perimeter so in this case we should go around the shore
Demos: Alright let's get going
They go walking east along the shore.
Catherina: may I ask a question?
Demons: Sure I'm all ears
Catherina: You made up of ears? But you have eyes, hair, eyelash-
Demos interrupts her as he chuckles.
Demos: when someone says that, it means they're fully listening to you
Catherina: Ah... That makes sense... May I still ask my question?
Demos: Sure
Catherina: You said that you were at a low point in your life last night, can you explain further
Demos:...
Catherina: did you not hear me? I shall repeat it, you sa-
Demos: No I heard you... It's just you don't say that to someone
Catherina: Why not? Learning about my teammates will improve our synergy
Demos: Somethings you should only say to someone when your closer to them
Catherina walks to Demos.
Demos: I mean emotionally..... But if you want to know, I'll tell you... You sure you want to know?
Catherina: of course
Demos takes a deep breath.
Demos:... Well that day was a rough one, I got fired from my job that I had for 2 years and I always came in early and was the last to leave...it was rough as I got like 3 hours to sleep each day except I slept in on the holidays... Then I went to my girlfriend house... Well Ex girlfriend house now... She said we are done and that she found someone with a better job and that he better than me at everything... Then she dumped me and kicked me out... Then stuff happened and I'm here
Catherina: She must be intellectually deficient, as you're nice and make the best breakfast
Demos: Haha you're too nice t-
Demos was caught off guard as a sharpened wooden stick flew past his head and landed in the ocean, as Demos and Catherina looked where the spear came from and see a group of 5 goblins all with spear except for the middle one.
Goblin 3:Kawgk Kreee
Catherina pulls out her sword by its dark blue handle, revealing her black blade... Lets get going
Both of them run towards the goblins as Catherina is far faster than Monri, Catherina reaches the goblins first as she stabs the far left goblin in its throat then pulls back her katana and then stabs the nearest goblin in its stomach as she pulls out her sword and in a swift slash she decapitates it's head. As she sees Monri finally reach the goblins as he puts mana in his hand that will only make contact on the goblin as he hits the goblin head making it dent, killing it on the spot. The nearest goblin to Monri tries to stand shinn but he grabs it and pushes back hitting the goblin in the chest with the opposite side of the wooden sharpen stick, making the goblin losse it's gras,p allowing Monri to pull back the sharpened stick, he flips it and stabs the goblin in the stomach as Catherina decapitates it, as Monri sees Catherina took out 3 goblins before he even took one out.
Monri: your strong
Catherina: You think so?, but I have a question , why do you only put mana on the point of your hand where your going to hit the target?
Monri: I saw goblins doing that when I was being attacked by them and I used it
Catherina: oh.... Do you know goblin biology?
Monri: Nope
Catherina: Well goblins get away with fighting like that because they have very little mana but their Bodies are mana efficient
Monri: .... Can you explain it in simple terms, I'm new so I don't know the hunter terms
Catherina: Okay. When Humans use mana to increase our bodies it's like overclocking our muscles, if we use it all on our finger tips then the muscles around the finger tips will get strained because it's not overclocked and if you keep doing that your body will slowly tear itself apart
Demos: so If I say for example put mana on my hand I should put a bit on my arms or else my arms will slowly tear?
Catherina: Indeed, you are correct
Demos:Then why do goblins do it then?
Tbc...
