✨ you only get one chance...

[liltuna]

THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME   You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse! ✨HOW TO PLAY 1. Drop a top-level! 2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was. If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot?  3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

Now I'm strong? I thought that I'm short with a small waist.

[ He might be saying that, but he really struggles with forcing Kiana to turn the fight into a close combat one. By the time he closes the gap between her and himself, Cyno's used up quite a lot of his stamina. When he's finally close enough to reach Kiana with his polearm, Cyno swings it above her head, forcing her to dodge or block. If her strategy is the former rather than the latter, he's going to chase her, piercing the air with the sharp tip of his weapon. ]

You are! But you know what they say about small packages, don't you?

[She dodges the first, but has to block the second. Unable to counter in this position, Kiana puts in enough force into her lance to shake off the spear. Up close he'll probably realize that her melee combat relies mostly on her inherent strength rather than any well-thought strategy. After all, she was built — no, she was specifically engineered to be strong. As if Kiana herself is a weapon.

Because that was, in the end, Otto's intent in making her. Crafting her in a test tube like one would do so for a blade in a forge.

Cyno is bright; or at least more so than Kiana since he is a member of the akademiya. After a few rounds back and forth he may even be able to predict her move-set. But she's holding back. Truly it would ruin the spirit if she were to start using Void Space to teleport either of them wherever she pleased.]
