setting: some weirdass fantasy place with dragons and shit

...What poor excuses for men, leaving me to go hunt down that dragon...

[As much as Kai tries to convince other people (and apparently herself?!) that she's not cut out for this whole 'JRPG Questing' business, the sword-whip she's holding does look mighty sharp. Not to mention threatening, now that she's trotting towards you with it in hand.

Kai's choice of clothing and done-up hair certainly makes her look like she doesn't suit a job that basically entails 'hunt down and stab a bitch dragon'... except for her face. She doesn't have the happiest expression right now, and is almost glaring... quite a fitting face for a warrior.

Or a growling bear. Either could work.]

Oi. [oh god she's talking to you] You look like you're free! Interested in chasing down a dragon?

It's been too long since something interesting happened, after all.

Just because I look free doesn't mean I am, you know.

But it does sound interesting. So, what kind of dragon is it?

[bearestofthemall]

Well, I'll just pretend I didn't hear that. [Sorry, Kai likes to have her way.

As for that question- she pulls out a job offer.] This was on the job board. A spineless group of man ran like headless chicken back to town after coming across a cave and hearing a 'a dragon-esque, bone-chilling roar' followed by 'a spout of fire'. So, a fire dragon.

Unfortunately, the cave is close to town, so there's a risk of wanderers coming across it. [Welp.] Which means we should go as soon as possible!

[is she really dragging you along- yes]

[brushitoff]

[She agrees to having to go as soon as possible, so she doesn't mind the dragging.]

Let me see the notice. [Dragons aren't even her specialty....] But first I have to know if we're equipped to fight a dragon. What've you got?

[bearestofthemall]

[Well... she has some things. Kai hands her the notice, before pulling a sectioned sword.]

I can use this as a sword and a whip. [Upon saying 'whip', she flicks the sword and it extends, becoming just as flexible as a whip should- but retaining the metal edges that look pretty sharp. Gulp.] With this weapon, I can force rocks out of the floor and summon geysers, too. The dragon can't possibly stand a chance!

[YEAH YEAH LET'S GO] And since we're setting off together- what's your name? You can call me Kai. [Because apparently not many people call others by titles here?]

[brushitoff]

Jabi. [She leaves off her title, too.]

That's impressive! My friend also has a rock-throwing spell. [Not that her friend does anything impressive with it.]

[Any kind of beast is bad news in her world, especially if a dragon-hunting party came back with their pants wet, but maybe it'll be fine if people go off to hunt them expecting success. Jabi's no slouch herself, after all, even if she momentarily wishes she had the firebird-summoning spell.]

Have you done this before?
