[1 vs 1] No eating humans (Asteria, Pokerus)

[poke mattix]

It seemed the DETH club had been around again, as Poke had found a few Pamphlets lying about, all labeled with the usual paraphernalia about hugging humans and saving lives and all that lovely dovey crap.

Not that Poke was against it. In actual fact she was all for protecting humans. It was a pretty noble cause when you thought about it. But the way DETH went about it made her wang to gag. Seriously, she had see pink glittery unicorns less mushy then this.

Even so, the dragon still kept the booklet on hand, idly flipping through it's pages as she leaned against one of the school's brick walls.

Those pushy halloweeners, the very ones who shoved her on the reserve with her clansmen, had also said and babbled some nonsense about teaching her the error of her ways. Or well, learning something from the academy. She was older than many of them and they wanted to educate her? On what? How to be scary? The art of leaving humans terrified beyond reason was something well perfected. Humans would cringe at the mention of the clansmen and the apocalypse they signified. So what would they try to teach her here?

Which was what brought her today. Finding out just what they thought they could educate her with. What she needed to know. Frankly, she wasn't the least bit impressed for the time being. All she'd been greeted with so far was a pamphlet being shoved in her arms by some fool before they ran off to throw more at people. Some of which... missed and ended up on the ground. Classy. She'd only made it around a corner before the disgust on her face became evident. Who would write such-

If this was what halloween folks thought, they were beyond saving. This spoke of saving, understanding, and even protecting humans like some precious little thing. It was absurd, pointless, and blasphemous. And it really needed to be properly destroyed. It was a shame she didn't breath fire, that would have been perfect at a time like this. So instead she had to suffice with tearing the pamphlet straight in half, no form of amusement on her face as she noticed a student leaning on a wall nearby. Specifically for the potential use. Wings? A tail? She looked like a dragon, she'd do right? But... why did she have one of those books too? "You don't actually agree with this trash, do you?"

At first, the only movement the ghoul had made was the flicker of her webbed ears back and forth as she finished the line she was reading. Her eyes strayed up to regard the horsemen that had made her presence known, eying the teared up paper in her hands. It wasn't uncommon to see students throw the DETH contents in the bin or leave it on the ground (DETH really spent a lot of time shoving this in their faces), but to see someone tear it up...

"I agree with some it it, yeah. Why you ask?" She could see the horsemen wasn't impressed, and she had a bad feeling as to why this was so. She could be wrong though.

"I'm not about to go and hug all the humans, but I see no issue with keeping them safe from harm. They are the reason we exist."

Now, if not for the fact that Asteria didn't believe in littering the paper bits might have gone flying in all directions to add to the display of her displeasure, but instead she strode to the nearest can to dispose of the filth as the ghoul responded. And held in the cringe that wanted to escape at the words.

"Some? The entire thing is rubbish." She stepped away from the trash before giving Pokerus a look. "And they'll be the reason you cease to exist. They're as useless as these pamphlets. They'll destroy their world and everything else along with it." She grimaced at the dragon at that point, crossing her arms. "They really do teach only flowery words to pollute young minds at this school, don't they?" She couldn't help but shake her head, it wasn't fair to judge, she probably didn't know any better. "Humans, if not properly culled, will be their own end through the world's destruction. They're a parasite and nothing more."

By jack this ghoul. Poke returned Asteria's look with a raised eyebrow, which quickly turned to one of annoyance as the horsewomen lectured her on the evils of human kind and how they should be culled. She was amazed at just how much the other appeared to dislike humans.

"Oh." She stood up, walking over to Asteria with her own arms folded. "So what you're saying is, we should grab every single human, old and young, round them all up together, and tear them limb from limb them until theres none of them left. Is that it?" A pause soon followed, before she continued.

"What a load of ******** bullshit." Her tail lashed behind her, betraying some of the dragons inner emotions. "I've got better things to do then to slaugher women and children just because someone tells me they may ******** up the place. What kind of solution is that? Just ignore the fact they're sentient beings with their own feelings and emotions. Kill the hole lot of them." She stepped closer to the horsewoman, right until she was in the ghouls face.

"That kind of thinking just pisses me off."

Was she annoying the dragon? It seemed rather evident on her face and in her tone as she spoke up, but at lest she seemed to get the idea. A smile bloomed on the mare's face as she nodded. "Exactly, that is how a human should be handled." It was only just that they be exterminated before they could cause further harm. It was what was necessary after all. It was lovely that the student has so quickly caught on, even if her tone didn't suggest she agreed. At least, Asteria could say, that student understood the horsewoman's stance on this whole thing.

Though she could only shake her head a bit sadly at the students next set of words and behavior. Tsk, she really didn't know much of the world, but it was only to be expected. Poor, poor misguided children of halloween. Though even as the dragon advanced toward her, practically breathing down her neck as she finished the warrior only smiled, ever to knowingly as she shook her head. "I never said it was your job to do so." She waved a finger as if to chide her, still more amused than threatened. "It is a duty that falls to my kind, we'll clean up the trash. You merely need to understand that." She paused, the smiled lightly. "You can understand that, right? Or..." And she cocked her head to one side a bit, not giving an inch even as the dragon stood so close. "Would I need to beat that into your thick skull, child?"

Edit: Actually I'd like to give you default to first hit(ignore rolls) since uh... how I ended seems like Pokerus really SHOULD take the first swing. It wouldn't feel right to attack /sobs I was hoping to lose this roll

Please attack first.

It became obvious that the dragon was extremely angry, unable to hide her scowl as the horsewoman talked down to her like some petulant child, acting so casual at the idea of aimless slaughter of innocents. Images flashed through her head of someone else whom held the same idea, and the vision she had been shown of these words in action. People screaming, crying, begging for mercy as they were torn to shreds by a dragon who held no regard for their lives...

Poke could see her wagging her finger, still with that pompous attitude that added fuel to her rage, asking if she needed to beat this knowledge into her .
The backhanded slap that was aimed at her cheek was the dragons answer.

"Shut the ******** up you arrogant piece of s**t."

Yup, real master of words there.

Sure thing <3 Let me know if you're not a fan of swear words

 

[Raja]

Oh, she'd struck more than a few nerves with that one. Perhaps she should have been going around poking dragons until they were angry enough to strike at her, but if she wanted to suggest humans deserved some form of protection Asteria was happy to correct her thinking. Even if she was hard headed enough to still think she was right even after getting beaten down. Since, frankly, Pokerus didn't seem like one to actually admit that her thought pattern was flawed.

She might have been willing to keep it to words if the ghoul had held in her anger, but seeing as she struck first, leaving Asteria's cheek smarting more than a with with a rather sound slap... well all bets on someone not ending up black and blue were off. "Oh..." She was casually rubbing her cheek at that point before offering a glare to the dragon. "Well, aren't you eloquent." And then she quickly pulled back her fist and swung at Pokerus, fully intending to deck her in return for the insult.

After all. She had to live up to her namesake to some degree.

"Oh? Oh my a**! How ******** dare you speak of killing people who can't even fight back?! You do realize that those humans you kill have families, friends, lovers, and to take even one of them would-"

The sudden blow had not been unexpected, considering she had just pimp slapped the horsewomen. But the blow that struck her face was a powerful one, leaving her stunned. She even tasted blood in her mouth.

Her head turned to spit out the tooth that had been knocked loose, a low growl in the back of her throat as she sought to give the ghoul something else to think about, throwing a fist at Asteria's face. Thats it, b***h was going down.

That did bring something of a smile to her face. "So, then it is right to be angry if something precious is taken from you?" Perhaps she was just twisting words in a cruel manner, but the humans had taken much from her, and apparently they were not as helpless as this human thought. "The humans cared not for the age, or relation my kind may have before taking our homes. Is it not just then?" She mused, curious to how the dragon would react. She thought herself some valiant thing protecting the weak? The innocent. "Humans are far from innocent. Don't fool yourself." These students were so naive.

She saw it coming and shifted to dodge to a degree, but the punch still landed soundly on her shoulder, sending her back a few paces as the growl accompanied the pain. Well at least the students here seemed to know how to hit? Not that Asteria was going to sit and muse over it. Don't get angry, get even?

And with that in mind she shifted her balance before launching forward again with another punch aimed at the dragon. She wouldn't be so childish as to bring a weapon to a fist fight, but this foolish child was going to have to go down.

"Of course it's right to be angry! How could you not be?" Poke knew about things that were precious to you, but this went far beyond gold and gemstones.

And then the dragon was kindly reminded about how the humans had taken something precious from her. The four clan isles. Though she knew little about the actual cause of the explosion, she did know hunters had been involved. And as much as she wanted to stick up for them, she couldn't ignore this horrible act. To lose ones home like that would be a vicious lost indeed.

As she thought about the issue, her movements slow, and she was unable to dodge as a punch landed squarely on her chest. She staggered backwards, monetarily winded by the blow.

"O-okay, fine...some humans are assholes..." She coughed, straighting up as the pain passed. "But that still doesn't mean you have to right to judge them all evil. How does destroying their homes make it all better?" Her claws reached out to grasp the ghoul by the arm, then tried to pull her over the shoulder in a wrestling toss.

"two wrongs don't make a right!"

And there, she'd proved her point. Even as the dragon was having to accept that the humans had done wrong it was proven. That humans were capable of such wrongdoings. And while Asteria too was well aware that two wrongs did not make a right, she'd already been tasked with the disposal of humans as her birthright.

They'd merely added kindling to the fire.

A grunt escaped her as she was pulled from her feet and sent flying a few paces by the toss, though she quickly pulled herself back to her feet again, a wicked smile showing on her face. "It has been my right since creation." There was no hesitation in her voice as she stood again, briefly dusting arm off where a bit of dirt had stuck when she hit the ground before. "But they chose to anger me further, to anger us further. And with that I feel no reason, no need to pity even one amongst them. Even if it won't bring back the dead, I can look to their memories and not feel the guilt of one who survived." It was true, even if it had not been her fault, she'd lived on when they had not. As such it was her duty to avenge her fellow clansmen. To complete their given task.

"And that makes it right enough for me." And with that she quickly swung again, though found there wasn't quite as much strength in her arm due to the previous fall and landing on it. Tsk, perhaps another avenue of attack would be needed.

Ugh. Trying to reason with her was like trying to reason with a brick wall. That kept punching you. The dragon's eye twitched as Asteria went on to talk about this heinous act being her 'birthright'. The fact that someone was assigning such horrible things to scarelings was enough to put her in a rage. She was done trying to convince the horsewomen that what she thought was wrong, it was clear she wouldn't listen. Not that Poke herself was about to listen to anymore of this crap.

This time she could see the punch coming towards her, her body twisted to the side, letting the fist scrape past her stomach, again raising her own fists to throw one at Asteria's cheek.

"You're so blind to your own deeds that you don't even realizing what the ******** you're doing." she spat. "Can't you see that the humans are staring to fight back?"
