First Smuppet ~ Text / Action for those interested

[puppetcrumpet]

So, ironically, I am in this land of pillows and magic shit... and bored out of my fuckin mind.
Lookin for anyone who wants to Strife.
Lil Bro, youre not gettin out of it.
This rooftop, one hour.

[the feed briefly cuts to video showing a panoramic view of the Mallow Hallow district. The particular rooftop is bright orange, and already shows signs of Strider-ification]

[Cane up and with a quick move Terezi reverses it in her grip and draws the blade hidden inside. Cane-sword in hand, she comes in fast and low, aiming for Bro's knees. She's not going to slice him or anything like that, but if she makes contact it'll probably bruise. That being a very big if.]

[puppetcrumpet]

[if is right because Bro is simply not there anymore by the time the cane's blade passes through the spot he was in. Bro reappears at Terezi's side moving his sword in such away that the flat of the blade will strike her arm, if she can't block or move in time]

[allseeingtongue]

[Terezi twists to dodge, joints just a little more flexible than is humanly possible: the flat of Bro's sword kisses her arm in passing. Just barely not a hit, and her heart is racing now. So fast! What a challenge, what a treat! He's faster than she is, like that, and suddenly the chances of victory are uncertain.]

[Terezi loves it.]

[She turns a neat flip to get space, readies her blade and sniffs eagerly to find out where he is now, mouth gaping wide, fangs glittering.]

[puppetcrumpet]

[he won't let her have the initiative this time.

In a flashstep he's in her space again, this time a puppet punch being the attack]

[allseeingtongue]

[Terezi ducks and strikes with a balled fist, aimed for a tender human gut, even as the puppet-punch stings her ear in passing. He's too fast, and she knows she'll take a hit before too much longer. It likely won't hurt but it'll be humiliating.

[puppetcrumpet]

[the human gut is very tender, and despite the quickness his wound is healing, he isn't completely healed, yet, so his gut is more tender than most. Perhaps the quickness of his dodge might give that away. Sure, he's almost supernaturally fast (only almost?), but it might have broken the sound barrier with the speed he moved to dodge]

[allseeingtongue]

[Just enough breathing space to get back on the offensive. Terezi grins, mouth gaping. She doesn't try to predict where he will be (that would be using her Seer powers and cheating) but instead balances herself so as to be able to spring off in any direction, ready and waiting. Half the fight is being ready; the other half, taking advantage of the opponent.]

[puppetcrumpet]

[he studies her for a moment from his landing spot. Just before he moves he adjusts the grip on his sword. It appears he is going for a frontal assault, he has his sword raised in such a way that it looks like he's going to strike for her arm.

Of course, at the last moment it turns to be a feint and he's really going for her legs. If it hits he'll give her papercuts]
