The monkey thing scowled at you, stood up on its own two legs, and beat its chest as if to issue a challenge. Its screech was so loud and powerful that you could've swore it shook the entire arena.
<span class="mu-r">“Where'd you pull this one from?”</span> you shouted up at Ember.
She gave you a confused look.
<span class="mu-r">“What do you mean? It's clearly Rajang.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Clearly.”</span> you said with a nod and a less than subtle undertone of sarcasm.
She scoffed at that.
<span class="mu-r">“How have you never played or even heard of Monster Hunter!?”</span> she said, emphasizing each word with frustrated gesticulation.
You scratched your head in confusion.
<span class="mu-r">“‘Monster Hunter’? That sounds cool. What do you do in that game?”</span> you asked, as innocently as you could manage.
Ember buried her face in her hands and sobbed. You burst out laughing, unable to contain it any longer.
<span class="mu-r">“Em, of course I know what Monster Hunter is. I’m not THAT out of touch.”</span>
You just didn't know the names of each and every one. If she'd made a Rathalos, you were sure you would've been able to guess it, then.
Rajang's nostrils flared, and he scraped his back legs across the ground as he prepared to charge. You raised both guns and prepared to intercept, when you felt the pressure in your back building.
You didn’t even get the chance to call a time-out before your flesh tore, and a torrent of blood poured out! You fell to your knees, expecting to pass out from the sheer amount of blood loss…but that never happened.
The mass of blood flexed and undulated, in the air, forming four separate tendrils that were still connected to your back. You saw pulsating veins within those tendrils, a faint orange glow running through them to the beat of your heart.
Neither you nor Ember moved. You were both stunned speechless.
What will you say/do?
>”Now THAT'S what I call spider-like upgrade!”>”It's, uh…probably not good to have all my blood be outside my body like this, right?”>”I can't believe in saying this, but I might actually need to go to the doctor.”>Try to balance your weight on these new limbs.>Pounce on Rajang while he and Ember are distracted!>Write-in.Pastebins:
