Here's the thing, folks: take away her edge from fantasy drugs, and Witcherphim is just someone who's had to fight in street brawls to survive, just like regular @SARAHPHIM. She's a superstrong mutant, sure, but that is mostly an advantage when you can connect, and she had to learn her fighting style taking down, like, werewolves and knockers and whatever else Fantasy Poland has to throw at her. Sara? She has Euna.

[i]"Never throw a punch if you don't know whether you'll hit your target. Arms in, weight on the balls of your feet, dominant side turned away from your opponent. Strike with the heel of your palm whenever you can; closed knuckle punches look cool, but you... can mess up your hand if you're unlucky." She tries so hard to not acknowledge that her fists don't have bones. Someone else might not have noticed how it tripped her up. "Breathe. Exhale through your nose when you jab. Stay loose!"[/i]

Then she gets the perfect opening. Maybe it's the enhanced senses she gets for hunting monsters. Maybe it's because when something makes that sound in her world, it's usually about to try to claw her face off. Whatever it is, Witcherphim makes the rookie mistake of looking away, and Sara immediately follows up with the [i]mother[/i] of all haymakers, with a hardlight gauntlet shimmering around her knuckles to add to the oomph and protect her delicate organic bones. The sound of its connecting is a surprisingly wet [i]thump[/i] that knocks Witcherphim off her feet.

Then @SARAHPHIM, to the sound of Twitch emotes being spammed by the audience of her impromptu stream, kicks Witcherphim in the stomach like a Brazilian soccer player at the World Cup, eliciting a pained grunt and a slow curl to protect her vital organs. @SARAHPHIM summons up another sword in shimmering silver and holds it, sparking and flaring, inches from Witcherphim's neck. You have to nail the dominance display or she'll just hop back up once her mutant metabolism gives her a second wind.

"Hail to the queen, [i]bitch[/i]."

[[b]5[/b] on Take A Blow, and we'll take [b]I Don't Care What You Think![/b] for a permanent +2 on Reject Influence, thanku; that's my fifth advance, by and by.]
