Action. Part Open and Part Closed

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Part One - On the Job - OPEN

Ryuko's time in Union had already been pretty busy, what with all that time spent with cleaning up the place and then her trip out to Glacier to find a giant evil egg. That had been a little disappointing, not just because she'd ended up doing pretty little but she hadn't even run into any of those Elite Four guys everyone was talking up. Oh well, at least she'd gotten one of those Mega Stones out of the deal... not that she had a Pinsir to give it to but, hey, it's something.

Now that she's back in town though, it's time to start to get down to business with her new job. One of the few, the brave, the thin line between order and anarchy: Union's newest Sword of the Savior is on the job!

... Sort of. Turns out, patrolling a city with such a puny crime rate meant a lot of walking around and watching people go about their days. So that newest protector of peace and order is currently sitting on a step outside an empty building, looking bored right out of her mind.

"Jeez." She yawns loudly, stretching her arms out over her head before slouching down again with a heavy sigh. "I thought signing up to be a cop'd mean I'd get to see a little more action."

The rest of the day, she'll be out on her route in search of anything eventful that might be going down. There has to be a purse snatcher, or a kitten in a tree, or something going on, right?

... Right?!


Part Two - Babysitting Duty - Closed to Kanade

So, somehow she'd been roped into this. Not long after showing up in town, Ryuko's paths had crossed with Kanade's for the first time and had led to some time spent catching up. Turns out, the other girl had wanted to get the chance to explore the world outside of Union, but her parents had been hesitant to let her head out there. ... On her own at least.

Luckily, Ryuko's past several weeks training in the wilderness and building her own power had apparently made her suited to count as an escort. Which meant she'd ended up volunteered to make sure Kanade made it out there and then back home safe. After a little convincing a promising of plenty of the restaurant's famous baked goods.

And now the day had finally come and Ryuko's leaning against the wall of the Lucky Spoon, packed light as always with only a few days of supplies and her trusty sword on her back and waiting for her charge to get her stuff together for the trip.

"Hey, you ready yet? What's takin' so long?"

[footprints_on_your_face]

Haha, yeah, basic training is pretty rough too... but you have to make it fun for yourself, you know?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Yeah, I guess. Just this whole endurance training and running isn't my thing.

[She punches one fist into her palm.]

I like to get my hands a little dirtier, y'know?

[footprints_on_your_face]

I know what you mean. It'd be a lot more exciting if we got to beat up bad guys every day! I'd leave so many footprints all over their faces!

[Chie grins, bouncing from foot to foot like she's about to be in a sparring match.]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Oh, hey, somebody else who likes a good fight? That definitely gets Ryuko's attention to perk up a bit.]

Yeah, tell me about it! I used to run with gangs back home in Caldera so there was always somebody lookin' for trouble. Since I got here, though, feels like forever since I had a good fight.

[footprints_on_your_face]

I'm always up for some sparring if you want!

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Heh. Now you're talkin'. [She flashes Chie a grin.] Guess we can't throw down while we're on duty though. When're you off?

[footprints_on_your_face]

In a couple hours. Want to meet in the park?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Two hours at the park. [She nods.] I'll be there.

[footprints_on_your_face]

You're on!

[Chie grins, kicking at the air in excitement.]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

See you there!

[And Ryuko continues about on her patrol. At least until a bit over two hours later, when she's back in the park and in her street clothes and with a nervous Cubone tagging along this time, holding onto her shoulder.

This oughta be good.]

[footprints_on_your_face]

[By the time Chie gets to the park, she's changed into a tank top and shorts. For her own part, she's got a Miltank following her, looking just as hype for a fight as Chie herself.]

Hey! You ready?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Ryuko shrugs off her jacket and hands it down to her Cubone, patting the little Pokemon on the head before stepping up to stand across from Chie, cracking her knuckles.]

Born ready. [She brings up her fists.] Let's see what you got.

I am terrible at writing fights and I apologize in advance

[footprints_on_your_face]

All right, I'm not holding back!

[Grinning widely, Chie dashes forward, dropping into a tight roll at the last second and kicking upward.]

No worries. I'll roll with anything.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Ryuko stands her ground as Chie dashes in, bracing her feet and crossing her arms in front of herself to catch that kick. It's a solid hit and she grunts... but she holds against it and pushes back before pulling her arm back and throwing a punch in return.]

Glad to hear it! I'm not either!
