[carnivorouscarnival]

—Long-range, too?! C'mon!

[ well. he's not going to make this easy for Intensity by remaining a stationery target, at least. the second the gun comes out he starts running, aiming to take cover behind the nearest tree. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He'll shoot the tree he ducks behind for good measure, a nice little "overloaded" warning shot that scorches the bark.

And stalks forward like the 90s cartoon midboss he is]

What?

I thought you wanted a real challenge.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ while Intensity is busy stalking forward, there's a rustling from the direction of the tree as Izumu swiftly scales it from his side.

then, his voice rings out from above: ]

Obviously—I always do!

[ and he flings himself from one of the higher branches of the tree, hoping he has enough momentum and enough of the element of surprise to get the drop on Intensity. literally. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[As soon as the tree rustles, Intensity does look up. But much higher than where Izumu is due to the fact he thought he was going to use Verticality.

Imagine his surprise when he has a tiny assassin gremlin dropping from a much shorter distance.

Starts flailing and attempting to pistol-whip Izumu]

Let go!

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he leans out of the way of that attempted pistol whip, then leans all the way back in for a headbutt. ]

Here I thought you wanted me closer!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Ow...? Ow.

Well, that lifelong mystery of who has the thicker skull has now been solved.





Spoiler for the viewing audience: It's Man Eater]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ also knees him in the gut. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Love you too, sweetie.

W H E E Z E S.

And his arm shoots out (flesh one) to grab Izumu by the throat]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ Izumu's eyes widen a fraction when he feels Intensity's fingers suddenly wrap around his throat, and both of his hands go straight to Intensity's wrist, trying to pry it off. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ONLY IF HE GETS TO THROW YOU TO THE GROUND]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ FINE!!!

though he does land perhaps unsatisfying gracefully, hitting the ground with a roll to break his fall. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh...

Stop being so infuriatingly HOT, Izumu. Intensity is trying to kick your ass!

Tries to catch one of his ankles and drag him back before he rolls too far away]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he can't help it; it just comes naturally!

a little less graceful, however, is the grunt he makes when Intensity manages to just barely grab one of his ankles. he digs his fingers into the ground as Intensity tries to drag him back, making a desperate attempt to kick his foot loose. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not enough to ping the restraint objective?

[He loses a few inches of ground from Izumu's violent squirming.]

Pity.

[And then he suddenly lets go of the ankle entirely]

[carnivorouscarnival]

For who?

[ he takes the opportunity to spring back to his feet, though he braces himself for whatever Intensity could be planning. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Tackle him back to the ground, of course. Using his heavier--- actually no, it's only advantage is being longer and more awkward --- frame to keep Izumu from escaping.

This time trying to grip a wrist or elbow with his metal hand.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ between the dizzying impact of hitting the ground full force and the lack of escape route, his wrist is Intensity's for the taking. ]

Ah—

[ when he feels Intensity's metal arm make contact with skin, he steels himself. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He pins the wrist up above Izumu's head, metal fingers digging into the dirt. And with that plus Harder They Fall, it'll feel like a tight metal shackle securing him to the ground.

Which gives Intensity the opportunity to lazily grab for the other wrist, fulling intending to pin the one down as well]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he tests the grip of those metal fingers, and once he sees how solid it is, he doesn't even bother resisting when Intensity goes for his other hand. he just starts chuckling in a not-totally-there way.

yeah, that's probably good enough to trigger both the "restraints" and "defeat" objective. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And bringing it up over his head as well so he can grab both of those wrists with his metal hand]

Oh?

Is this a turn on?

[carnivorouscarnival]

I dunno, maybe it's just the headrush~.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see.

[Well the best part about hand crafting all your limbs is you get to customize them for multiple purposes. There is a scrape of metal on metal as a latch near the base of the arm unlocks. Surprise. It's detachable.

And while it is still thoroughly pinning Izumu down, Intensity sits back on his heels and flashes a wicked grin.]

Now what to do with my prize now that I've won.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he actually hadn't seen that coming, and he wriggles again the bindings one more time for good measure. ]

Better pick something you can manage one-handed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Catches Izumu's chin in his hand and leans down for a kiss. A light thoroughly unsatisfying one.

Punishment for every time Izumu has kicked his ass in training]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he'd clearly expected something a little more thorough, and he pouts whenever Intensity pulls back. ]

That's all?
