Beta Join Post With Knuckles
[Jacques Icarus the red Flicky bird is fiddling with the device again. At an awkward angle, you can see Knuckles the Echidna and Antoine D'Coolette in Knuckles' home, both of them wielding swords... sort of. Antoine sighs, and moves in, adjusting Knuckles hands.]
No no, you don't grip eet like zat. One hand here, one hand zere...
But I've seen you use a sword with one hand before!
Only een emergency situations, Knuckles, and after years of mastery. Now, hold eet like zis, and let's try eet again.
[Knuckles sighs, annoyed, but they clash blades. It's obvious who has less experience and who has way way way way WAY more.]
Don't look at me, Knuckles, look at my sword.
I-I am, I'm trying to!
Eet ees not a bat, don't treat eet like one.
I know it's not a bat! I'm not dumb! Just come at me again... Wait. Your muscles aren't even clenched.
And what of eet?
You're going easy on me! Antoine, I'm not going to learn like this! I want you to come at me like you would any other enemy!
... Are you sure about zis, mon ami?
JUST DO IT ALREADY!
[Antoine shrugs, but then the Flicky bird covers the lens by accident, pecking the device. So you can only hear sounds of sword slashing, and then Knuckles making small pained noises, followed by a thud. The Flicky then moves on, wanting to find food, so you can see Knuckles laying on the floor, Antoine standing over him, pointing a sword at his nose.]
... Would you like to be giving you a finger?
Hand. You want to give me a hand. And no. I think I'm... just gunna lay here... a while... ow.
