simulated happiness.
in a simulation w/ @xvyunjo.
the bone breaks off with an audible snap. despite the pain being less noticeable due to her focus on the task at hand, izzy winces, but tightens her grip around the sharpened bone-dagger that she uses to deflect a blow from one of the bad guys. given that she can’t manipulate the bones of other people (or simulations in this case), close combat has more or less become one of her strengths. increasing her own bone density in her right hand, she slices his upper arm with the blade in her left before punching him in the throat with her hardened right fist.
his fall is almost cartoonish in the way he simply topples over like a bowling pin.
the bone manipulator lets out a huff, brushing her hair out of her face. she drops the bone in her hand and heads for where she last saw her partner, irritation painting her features. it seems like that’s the last of the simulated villains they were meant to defeat, since no one else jumps out at her making it easier to find yunjo.
when she does find him in the simulation-park, she creeps up behind him to wave her bloodied arms in front of his face. “i can’t believe you dipped!” she says in place of a proper greeting, letting out a groan when a sharp pain runs down her arm. “make yourself useful and get us some mcdonalds. i saw one on the way here.” izzy lays down on the grass, already feeling the minor fracture in her wrist beginning to heal. it tickles.
“dunno ‘bout you, but i wanna know if simulation chicken nuggets are any good.”
