That part's weird, but adjustable with a bit of time. Provided we don't get throttled or attacked by killer plants all around the city.
[ M'dude... will you stand still, for one moment. Yuri could try and climb up there too but it probably wouldn't be anywhere near as easy as that guy just made it look. ]
Might as well try and get the jump on them before this gets out of control.
Thanks, I think. [ Man hanging upside down and waving his arms around. ] But having another person around should help cover more ground. If we find something, we take it out. Sound fair?
Taking things out is my specialty! In many senses of the word.
[ Yan Qing flips down and lands on the pavement with the grace of a cat. Cat, because he might be too small to be a tiger.
Well, tattoos aside, he doesn't seem too threatening. ]
I'm Yan Qing, genius playboy billionaire philanthropist without the billion bucks! So I guess that just makes me rich on the inside, and ain't that what matters most? Put it here!
[ He yelps, and the next thing he knows, he's being held upside down by one of the vines he just kicked. His long hair sways in the evening breeze, and so does the rest of him... ]
Uh, okay! I'm usually pretty good about sensing these things, but I kind of need some help here.
[ Don't throw your scabbard away, what the fuck? Yan Qing struggles a bit just to be contrary, but also because vines around your bare abs are gross. ]
You know, you're not exactly inspiring any confidence from me. How am I supposed to get back to my wife and three kids? Are you gonna be a father killer, huh?
[ He doesn't have a wife or kids, obviously. He just wants to get down. ]
[ Don't tell him what to do with his scabbard, he knows what he's doing. Probably. ]
Should've thought of that before getting yourself dragged into trouble, shouldn't you?
[ Ice cold.
He flips the blade around and, with a wide, but confident swipe, he slashes at the vine. Applying more force just before the strike hits so that hopefully it'll cause it to flinch and then YQ go, if he doesn't manage to cleave it all the way through. ]
[ He's. Not gonna help him up. Use your legs, YQ. ]
I wouldn't give up the day job though. But maybe you've got a career ahead of you as a long-haired-pretty-boy-in-distress.
[ Yuri swings his sword up to tap the flat of the blade against his shoulder, watching as the vines slither and recoil from the area where they'd been so viciously attacked before. Nice. ]
Sure, but you could corner the marketplace that way. Make it a business. You'll find enough saps willing to save you from fake danger at the drop of a hat.
[ You're not wrong, but. Think of the cash he could get from all those Knightly types. ]
We're only running behind because your got your ass caught up in some vine shenanigans there.
[ He is filing this scam idea for later use. It might come in handy one day. ]
Uh, correction: we're running behind because you laughed at me for five seconds. Do you know how many other poor helpless people could have been trapped in sexy vines in those five seconds? No, because you laughed at me! But it's fine. We learn from our mistakes. I'm a better person now. My sexy vine tolerance increased by five.

Oh! So we both had the same idea. You look fun, so let me come with you! [ He spreads his arms out in excitement! ]

[ He offers a handshake. ]
it's okay i'm slower
Humble too. [ But. Y'know. He still goes for the handshake. It's only polite, as long as he doesn't do anything weird mid-handshake. ]
Yuri Lowell. None of the above. But more than willing to see if we can't nip this shit in the bud before it spirals out of control.
holds ur hands....
Ahahahaha! I ain't exactly pest control myself, but I like to think I'm a bit of a gardener. We could start by following these vines...
[ He kicks a bunch clinging to a nearby wall. ]
no subject
Hey, if they're going to dangle obvious targets right in front of our face might as well take them up on their invitations.
Just don't get accidentally choked out by angry vines and we'll be fine.
[ Or let them know they're on the way by kICKING THE VINES. ]

Well I'm glad this whole endeavour wasn't a waste of time. Sexy vine tolerance is an underrated talent.

C'mon, guy. Let's do a round before we call it a night.

Alright, lead the way. I'll keep you safe from any wandering vines.
