—* worst foot forward
@ccjiho
yebin grunts as she lands, skidding backwards and having to place one hand on the ground to steady herself. that last attack from the monster was powerful, and she stumbles slightly as she gets up, shaking any lingering tension from her right ankle as she jumps back into the fray, shouting to her partner.Â
“you know, something tells me this isn’t going well!” she exclaims as she has to dodge another ball of hot energy the monster throws her way, wincing as she hears it scorch the side of a building behind her. across the street, jiho is dealing with a similar onslaught. the monster seems to have no limit to its magical energy, at least compared to their own meager stores.Â
looking around for a new angle, yebin holsters her pistols before taking a running start and leaping up, managing to grab the horizontal section of a streetlight with both hands. she swings herself up and finds her balance, then pulls out her pistols again.Â
she only gets a couple shots off at the monster before the thing -- which looks like an oversized purple bear with scales instead of fur -- literally grabs jiho from the ground and throws her in yebin’s direction. with barely a second’s notice, yebin can only just get the safety back on her guns before jiho slams into her, sending them both falling the several meters to the ground.Â
they land hard in a tangle of limbs, and yebin’s vision is spinning as she tries to sit up. she can’t manage it -- too locked up with jiho on the ground with too much pain radiating through her from hitting the ground so hard. her body is, thankfully, a bit sturdier as a hero than it was as a human, but that was still a rough fall. by the time her vision comes into focus, she realizes that the monster is nowhere to be seen, and they’re still a pathetic pile of bodies on the pavement.Â
she lets her head fall back to the pavement with a groan and almost wishes that the fall had knocked her out. at least then she’d get some sleep.Â
