FLYING. BANANAS.

[what the flying fudge are flying bananas doing here]

[ok ok that impressive, fine but i'm not saying it :T]

I'll dodge them all the same.

[cinquedusoleil]

[wheeeee I'm still having fun but we can converse like this anyway right!]

What's your name?

[onewomanarmy]

[moving her attention to the sky, pulling back the sleeve on her outfit to reveal some wicked automail]

Ran Fan.

[cinquedusoleil]

[that looks pretty cool... Also!! I shall take a break from banana dodging for a moment to hold out a hand for you]

I'm Cinque! It's nice to meet you!

[onewomanarmy]

[staring at that hand :||||

breaking her stare to consecutively slice a few falling bananas by using a small sword attached to her automail]

[cinquedusoleil]

[Meanwhile, I have to dodge here and there while kind of standing still because this handshake is a little slow-moving huh...]

Um... It's a handshake! As a sign of our meeting! You know?

[onewomanarmy]

I know what it is.

[slice slice slice slice]

You better start moving again.

[cinquedusoleil]

[o-oh]

Ahh, right!

[jumping aside then (WE'LL TOTALLY SHAKE LATER OKAY)!! well, she has her own way of training with the bananas and that is cool]

[onewomanarmy]

[(NO WE WILL NEVER SHAKE)]

[what if the bananas start falling in tenfold, and even this ninja gets smacked with a COMPLETELY unexpected one!?]

[cinquedusoleil]

[(BUT!!!)

Anyway, that means he's just getting started! It's actually kind of amazing how quickly he can move and even change direction. Even when it looks like he's about to lose his pace, he somehow gets by with no banana damage at all, and he laughs as the bananas try their hardest regardless!! But— oh I see one hit you.

He's still dodging the onslaught, be he calls out]

Are you all right!?

[onewomanarmy]

[now i'm just embarrassed that you're actually doing well and ughhhh SLICING THESE BANANAS]

That's a stupid question, I'm fine.

1/2

[cinquedusoleil]

[Sorry this is my zone yo! HOWEVER, that said, the number of bananas sure make finding safe ground a bit harder, and suddenly he lands on just enough of a banana to slip—!]

[cinquedusoleil]

[Except he safely plants a hand on the ground and jumps right back into his rhythm as if it hadn't even happened]

Ahahah, that was a close one!

[onewomanarmy]

[........................okok amazement :x]

Who are you--[pause]--no, what are you?

[cinquedusoleil]

I told you, didn't I? I'm Cinque!

The hero, Cinque Izumi!

[~DAZZLE~]

[onewomanarmy]

[not dazzled!!!]

Hero...

[uh]

Right. I'm dreaming.

[cinquedusoleil]

Haha, well... The title "hero" is still rather new to me as well, but!

I won't lose at a challenge like this!

[onewomanarmy]

[if i weren't wearing this mask you'd see the eyebrow i just rose]

Are you sure you're not a circus performer?

[cinquedusoleil]

I'm an athlete! Preparing for physical challenges like this is how I've spent my entire life!

[onewomanarmy]

You're not that different from me...

[cinquedusoleil]

Hehhh, really? What about you then?

[onewomanarmy]

Unlike you, I'm not an athlete--I'm a bodyguard. But I have been trained my entire life to be prepared for any physical challenge.

[cinquedusoleil]

Bodyguard? Well, it makes sense since your reflexes are very impressive!
