Okay, so just going in and pummeling this creature wasn't going to cut it. Having fair hard skin meant even her hardest of hits did little, and her weapon had done absolutely nothing against it. To top it off it could hit like a runaway truck in turn, evident by having batted her away like a fly. The strike hadn't been enough to break the skin but it sure smarted, her arms were all red and sore even immediately after being hit. If she was going to bring down the animal as her first hunt then she needed to be far more mindful about this. It didn't help either that the animal was barreling at her again obviously a wee bit angry at being attacked. Yumi got ready to try and stop it with sheer strength alone but found the beast distracted by Viral instead. Looking at him baffled he drove the spear at the black being, and unlike her attempt this one actually managed to hit it, apparently slipping through cracks in its plate-armor like skin and hitting the flesh. A furious roar confirmed her suspicion and pretty quickly the animal was thrashing about, swinging and missing at Viral in a fit. Seeing a chance to try again Yumi ran at the creature, avoiding its thrashing as she jumped up and managed to get onto its back. Grabbing hold then of the ear-like appendages on its head she gave a hard tug, making the animal roar before charging headlong into a tree, knocking it over but stumbling in the aftershock. Giving another yank it repeated the process, smashing down yet another and taking a moment longer to recover. If she could keep making it crash like this maybe she could beat it!

"I am sure of myself, just watch! I'll have that lady begging to give me money!" Kabocha snapped confidently, sticking up his nose as he marched over to the stall. She looked a homely enough woman, agreeable perhaps, this should work. All he needed was to exchange money, and surely someone who owned a simple stall could use precious metals like these. Going into the attempt assured it would work the Saiyan was promptly aggravated when he was denied, and then even more so when he was offered the chance to buy some food... With what money?! He was asking for money to use, she knew he couldn't buy anything. Was she taunting him? Growling under his breath he snatched the coins back and stormed over to his friends, forcing the task unto Kai. He was so sure about it earlier so he could try it now. "I didn't screw it up, she's the idiot not taking my money!" Kabocha complained, scowling before looking away from the stall. "Go knock yourself out, you won't get anything out of her." Like Kai could do it, he wasn't a fricken negotiator or anything. Besides, the lady had said she wasn't sure what it was worth so having a different person ask wasn't going to make a bit of difference in the matter. And AGAIN Choi had to put in his two cents, man what a pest! Looking at the other twin Kabocha growled again and shook his head, looming over Choi as he snapped, "We're practically the same age! And what does that have to do with anything?! Hmph." he mumbled, turning his back to Choi with his arms folded tight on his chest. "Kai won't get anywhere either, just you watch."

Those boys were familiar, they were the ones who'd fought the General, were they not? He was such a foul man as it had turned out, she did wish she could help them for removing him. Sadly without knowing what the money was worth there was no way she could trade with them, not if she wanted to risk being ripped off. Cringing slightly when the one who had approached started complaining she looked down at her stall embarrassed, disappointed she hadn't been able to do anything. A moment later when someone approached again she almost thought it was the same boy, slightly relieved to see one of the others had come forth this time. Rather than ask her to exchange it this one gave a much more reasonable request; the promise to come and buy food at her stall helped the deal. "Of course! Of course! Try Weiss', its a bank here in the city!" she replied with a smile, "Its just a few blocks away deary, you can't miss it! It's a big orange building, you'll know it when you see it!"

More games ought to relieve stress for everyone involved, it often did. Takeshi figured hide and seek would be their best option even in the face of prowling predators, as nothing out here ought to be of much threat to them. It made much more sense to do that rather than tag too as no one would end up tripping or hitting anything on accident. Calling out Shu to join them in their huddle the older boy grinned at his brother's enthusiasm, reaching out and placing a hand on his head to make him stand still for a second. "Yeah, hide and seek buddy. We've got to figure out who's going to be it." he said, chuckling. Sheesh, there really was no off switch for him was there? Sounded like T'charrl had some more questions to ask still, probably should fill him in on how to play and all. "We just pick someone and they look, there's no real way to pick. I figure I'll start us off, and whoever I find first can be it next round, sound okay?" That seemed fair, plus seeking was actually much more exciting than the hiding part. Hiding meant you had to sit still, something very much not in his skill set. Less so even in Shu's regard, though the little guy could probably pull it off for the sake of the game. Grinning at the Kaesstrian Takeshi nodded his head, pointing at himself with his thumb. "I know, and I'm pretty good at finding people, usually. So it'll be sort of the best seeker against the best hider, I like the challenge. We'll see who's better."

So hide and seek was just exactly what it sounded like then? Someone looked for the other people while they were seeking? Seemed straightforward enough, though wouldn't that be a bit hard in a forest? Haku was glad he wasn't the one that was going to be looking around for everyone else, he couldn't imagine even attempting that. Takeshi sounded awfully assured that he would find them all too, but according to T'charrl he was really good at hiding, he was curious who might come out on top there. Shu would probably do really well, he wasn't all too confident about himself though. If this was what they were doing he would go along with it and at the very least make an attempt at the game. "Sounds... Fun... I'll try it," Haku mumbled, smiling slightly as he shrugged his shoulders. They hadn't said he couldn't play so he assumed he was allowed, for which he was secretly grateful. Aside from just being left out it would also mean he would be alone in this forest if he wasn't given the chance to play, something that could be kind of freaky.
