Karkat shrugs.
OBVIOUSLY. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRAINING A BUNCH OF TROLLS TO GO ACROSS THE MURDEROUS FUCKPILES THAT ARE THESE OCEANS, YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING FIRST.

Nepeta grins, then whips out her knife and whips the hilt towards Eridan's head, stopping just short

:33 < i gotta deal fur ya! if you can survive thr33 minutes fighting with me you dont have to train with me

Subject: Re: The Palace Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:21 pm

Nepeta snorts and punches him in the shoulder

:33 < dont be an idiot ampurra we can use practice tools like my wooden knife and a paint gun or something

To demonstrate, she draws her wooden knife and twirls it loosely in her hand, grinning

LUCKY FOR US I ALREADY HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE.
Karkat pulls out a well used grey paintball gun from his sylladex and hands it off to Eridan.
WHAT? IT'S A VERY POPULAR WITH THE THRESHICUTIONERS. BITE ME.

*He shrugs and hold out his hand*

Subject: Re: The Palace Wed Jun 21, 2017 3:30 pm

Nepeta's eyes widen at the sight of Karkat's paint gun and she grins, pouncing on him. She sits up on top of him and pokes his chest accusationally

:33 < you nefur told me you guys played paintball! i would love to join in

Feferi frowns but says nothing, glancing idly around the hall

Karkat cocked an eyebrow, a smirk forming.
IF YOU THINK YOUR HUNTERS COULD TAKE ON MY THRESHICUTIONERS YOU'RE MORE THEN WELCOME TO TRY NEXT TIME WE PLAY.

Subject: Re: The Palace Wed Jun 21, 2017 10:16 pm

Nepeta snickers and shakes her head, grinning from ear to ear

:33 < half my hunters versus all ur threshicutioners or else it wont be fair!
:33 < after all id be on the hunters team

*Eridan gives Nepeta a poke with the paint gun*

tsk tsk nep wwe havvent evven started yet an youre already pickin a neww fight
rather shoddy example for someone leadin a peace keepin force dont you think

Subject: Re: The Palace Thu Jun 22, 2017 5:24 am

Nepeta snorts and pushes the gun aside, hopping to her feet

:33 < purrlease that is hardly what the hunters are for
:33 < you confuse us for the threshicutioners!
:33 < anyways lets head out to the courtyard so you dont get paint all over the throne room walls from all your frantic shooting

Nepeta strides out the side doors into the courtyard, Feferi hot on her heels. She pulls Nepeta aside, whispering to her

Paintball gun or no, -Eridan is still a kill-Er. Can you promis-E you'll b-E car-Eful?

Nepeta smiles softly and gives her a little peck on the cheek, gazing at her reassuringly

:33 < you know me better than anyone feferi!
:33 < have faith in my abilities like i have faith in you

Feferi says nothing for a moment, blushing slightly, before nodding and stepping back. Nepeta does a few practice swings with her wooden knife, then taps her foot impatiently, waiting for Eridan and Karkat

*Eridan holds out his (non-robot) arm to help up Karkat*

you DO havve extra ammo right
hopefully wwont be needed but im not gonna count on it

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Karkat takes his hand and pulls himself up.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NOT? WHO DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?
A crate ejects itself out from Karkat's sylladex and crashes onto the ground.
FUCKING FANTASTIC. ANYWAYS, YOU SHOULD FIND MORE THEN ENOUGH PAINT IN THERE TO PROLONG YOUR *SECOND* ASS KICKING OF THE DAY FOR A FEW MINUTES LONGER.

oh jegus you really did come prepared huh

*He swings open the crate and captachalogues its contents, then heads out into the courtyard while giving the gun a quick once-over*

looks like im all set
howw do you wwanna do this

Subject: Re: The Palace Thu Jun 22, 2017 1:41 pm

Nepeta grins and takes a pose, crouching, her knife held out in front of her

:33 < all you have to do is hit me with some paint or avoid being caught for 3 minutes
:33 < you have the advantage here of course!

*He takes a step back getting into a readied position (and doing a fancy cape fwoosh in the process), finger on the trigger but gun angled downwards *

wwho wwants to do the honors a startin the timer

Subject: Re: The Palace Thu Jun 22, 2017 5:34 pm

Karkat, would you lik-E th-E privilag-E?

Feferi gestures amicably towards the two, her disinterested frown replaced by her usual happy smile

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

OBVIOUSLY.
Karkat fiddled with his crab watch, plucking it off and putting it down on the ground. It scuttled excitedly on the floor before projecting a holographic timer saying 3 minutes.
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE MOST HILARIOUSLY ONE-SIDED FIGHT OF THIS LIFETIME.

AS FUCKING GREAT AS THAT SOUNDS I'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME IN THE RING WITH A 'FURROCIOUS' MEOWBEAST FOR THE REST OF MY GOG FORSAKEN LIFE.

Subject: Re: The Palace Fri Jun 23, 2017 2:53 pm

Nepeta giggles and blushes slightly, then winks at Eridan. The timer ticks beeps three times, then a large green check mark flashes and Nepeta immediately dashes in a straight line at Eridan, moving low, knife held in front of her

Eridan snaps up the borrowed gun and burst fires, two shots at Nepeta's center mass and two more slightly to his left, while backing away in the same direction, hoping to force her into dodging away from him. He notices with some satisfaction that the robot arm is performing perfectly, and grows a little more confident.

Subject: Re: The Palace Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:46 pm

Nepeta crouches even lower as she runs, her eyes narrowing. As the bullets near, she dives to her right, directly under the shots Eridan fired, so close to the ground her jacket brushes the grass. She hits the ground and rolls with it, losing little momentum and dashing at Eridan from his left, zig zagging slightly
