Grin issues a series of varied spear strikes that force The Dash Master off his intended course. It is here that he displays a simply remarkable level of agility and versatility as he jumps onto one of the alley walls and begins springing back and forth between them!
However he must settle for simply orbiting Grin as his spear strikes make it impossible for him to get within grabbing range of any of his carrying loads.
"I must say I'm impressed! Even my last ditch effort seems to not be cutting it. Whatever will I do?" the guy half jeers half muses.

"Not quite!" The Dash Master shouts.
After a couple more bounces to properly orient himself Grin's opponent makes a slanted dive that will take him right across Grin's front. As he flies he reaches out at Grin's load while flying at such an angle that he will travel slantways away from Grin as he lunges minimizing Grin's options.

Expertly bringing his shield between him and his attacker Grin thwarts the efforts of The Dash Master's dive!
His momentum takes him the rest of the short ways out of the alley as he tucks and rolls avoiding a nasty injury. Immediately springing to his feet and dashing after Grin not yet defeated and coming up on Grin's spear-side.
"That shield is really tough to get by" the enemy calls as he rushes to catch up with Grin.

"Multi-skid-slide!"
Grin sends forth many spear strikes and watches as his opponent rapidly switches between having his feet flat skidding along the ground and hopping into the same running pace he has again. These constant switch backs throw off Grin's aim and prevent him from hitting his opponent or throwing him off course.
"This is it! all or nothing!" in a sudden burst of speed The Dash Master dashes ahead of Gin and immediately doubles back at a forty-five degree angle. Upon getting close again to Grin the guy leaps into the air and spins his body. He is going to cross on the fringe of Grin's shield side at this point.

dodge roll "futile"

Post by blacktothefuture on Aug 22, 2011 23:59:16 GMT -5
Grin executes a dodge roll to evade The Dash Master's final assault. There is a brief moment where the two pass and for the slightest moment the two opponents territories cross over. Space between them becomes non-existent and there is an opening in which The Dash Master might have acted.
Despite this amazing achievement for one who devotes themselves only to fast thievery his body is simply not up to the act of taking advantage of the opening he was able to create. The both of you passing each other as Grin speeds on to his final delivery. His pursuer left in the dust for good this time.
Trial passed Grin finds himself at a typical apartment building just beyond the heart of the city. He traverses up several floors and finds himself in front of number fifty-eight. A young man in a white shirt and blue boxers answers the door.
"Yes? can I help you?" he asks groggily.

With little effort Grin retrieves his clients cargo.
"Thought I heard the delivery service was going under, guess that was just a rumor huh?" the guy says handing over a small cash tip.

When Grin returns back to his place of departure he finds a worried looking delivery manager glad to see Grin's return. Even more so when he learns that Grin's load is completely delivered.
"Great! I was a little worried I'll admit but it seems like it was unfounded. This should show that Dash Master not to mess with us!...though I'll have to call on you again if it doesn't" he says.
Episode 31 - The Dash Master - Completed!
Points earned: Honor-5! Cool -0! Delinquent -0!
A fantastic conflict of speed and endurance behind him what could possibly challenge Grin next?! Guess we'll have to stay tuned and find out.

Sounds good.
The mild summer breeze blows through the bus windows as we find Grin and Azuka on their way to their destination. Open spaces and relaxed atmosphere in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Japan.
"This should be fun! I'm so glad we're taking this trip" Azuka comments as she watches the scenery pass by.

"Yeah, it's really-" Azuka begins but is cut off by the sound of the bus coming to a screeching halt!
After a bit of hustle and bustle the bus driver announces that they have blown out one of their tires. Such a thing wouldn't be too much of a problem accept the bus doesn't have a spare! They are looking for anyone who is willing to help seek out and bring back a tire, the bus driver being obligated to stay with the bus and tourists who stay put while this is sorted out.

"There should be an auto supply place eight blocks or so from here. Down five and over three, should just say AUTO out front in red neon" the guy explains.
"You should be careful though. It's kind of dangerous around this part of the route" he adds.

grab shield off roof

Post by blacktothefuture on Sept 16, 2011 15:56:03 GMT -5
As Grin grabs his shield Azuka produces a pair of fingerless gloves from her bag. Probably for some extra protection in case things don't go as planned.
With the way the streets look as the two of you head out it's definitely a possibility. Solemn and stern figures in ratty compose the majority of the people out at this time. A small group of which begin following the two of you as you pass. Four young men and a couple of scrawny guys in tattered canvas pants.
Azuka says nothing. Probably because she knows that Grin must have noticed by this point too. Instead she merely picks up her pace.

Obviously in agreement you and Azuka merely pick up the pace. Their company following suit but falling back and lingering after six blocks or so. After that it's not long before the two of you reach the shop where you're supposed to pick up the spare tire.
It's a white building of moderate size with a neon sign outside that reads "open". Inside the immediate office sits a man hunched over the back of a chair reading a magazine. He turns to the two of you upon entering however.
"Hey. How can I help you?" he asks.

"And I suppose you have money?" the guy asks looking the two of you over. "Spare tire isn't exactly free".

"Hmm. Yeah I guess that'll work" the guy says eying Grin's shield curiously.
Regardless of how apprehensive he seems of the offering the guy places the shield behind the counter and goes to grab the spare tire. In a few moments he returns from the back with exactly what the two of you are looking for.
"Hurry on back now, or just have the bus drop by on the way through" the shop owner says.
