[spoiler]ah, sorry. I made one but posted in the wrong thread. I made another one in the bios page now.[/spoiler]
Jim was momentarily taken back by the dark figure standing before him. He laughed out of a nervous habit to appear calm when he wasn't.
"Heh... I doubt no one [b][i][u]crosses[/u][/i][/b] you much, right?"
Jim chuckled nervously, wondering how Kross would take the pun.

[b]He stood up straight, clearly not amused [/b] "At least you're original. First time I've heard that one."
-
Jim looks awkwardly to his left at something with an embarrassed smirk, then looks back at Kross. "So," he scratched the back of his head, "I'm supposed to take a test?"
-
"Well that depends. Do you wish to join and fight? Or simply to join?"

[quote]"Well that depends. Do you wish to join and fight? Or simply to join?"[/quote] "*[i]sigh[/i]* You know, I'm actually supposed to join [i][b]and[/b][/i] fight." Jim rolled his eyes and did the quoting motion with his fingers, "My boss says it's part of my '[i]leadership[/i]' training hehe..." Jim teleports 20 feet to Kross's right and begins to speak to some invisible being. Kross could overhear him: "Yeah, you know that Jello prank I did years ago," Jim smiled. "I tried it again and we both had a good laugh..." He stopped smiling, "Then he sent me on a mandatory leadership trip or I'd have to take over for maintaining the building while the Janitor was on vacation. Side note, there is no Janitor. Dwight has a professional cleaning crew come in every weekend. But hey, it's an all expenses paid trip, how bad could it be?" Jim teleports back to his previous spot in front of Kross, as if he never moved in the first place. "So can we get this over with? What do I have to do?"
-
"The test requires you to be deemed fit for battle. So you must battle me."

[quote]"The test requires you to be deemed fit for battle. So you must battle me."[/quote] Jim's eyes widened. "Uh... okay. What are the rules?" Jim chuckled nervously again, "Do I get a costume too?"
-
"Do you have any weapons of your own?"
-
[quote]"Do you have any weapons of your own?"[/quote] Jim looked quizzically at Kross. "Yeah, sure," he answered after feeling around in his pockets. "I mean they aren't anything to be played with hehe...heh..."
-
"And what do these weapons consist of? A dagger?"
-
[quote]"And what do these weapons consist of? A dagger?"[/quote] "Well... I've got my walking stick... a Swiss Army knife... I got a Gerber Survival Knife... aaand a few other things. Is that okay? Haha I mean we aren't actually gonna use 'em on each other, right?"

"... I suppose we could always battle with our fists if you wished."

[quote]"... I suppose we could always battle with our fists if you wished."[/quote] "Well as long as I don't die and don't have to get hurt much..."
-
"May i ask why you have joined, if you do not wish to fight?"
-
[quote]"May i ask why you have joined, if you do not wish to fight?"[/quote] [spoiler]I'm just using this guy for testing purposes lol you can attack him at any time.[/spoiler] "It's for work. I'm kind of forced to. Can we just skip this and say we did?"
-
[spoiler]Unfortunately, Kross is not that type of guy. He's an honourable son of a Bitch. If you want someone to brutally attack you, I can bring in Watcher. [/spoiler] "I suppose we could, though it is not advised as there are many who would battle you."
-
[spoiler]Lol sure. That'd be interesting. Whatever you'd like![/spoiler] "Well I just need to bring back some sort of proof for my boss. I'm not gonna linger here, I'd just head back right after."

"Perhaps a bruise or two?" [b]As if on cue, a man in NCR Ranger approached the duo [/b] https://imgur.com/Ic26C7S "[i]Someone say bruises??! "[/i]

"[/i][/quote] Jim's jaw dropped low as he noticed the new figure approach. "I uh... I'm used to a few bruises now and then..." Jim turned frantically back to Kross. "So do I have to beat you or just survive for a time limit or-" Jim pointed at the newcomer and spoke with a loud, stern voice which indicated his rising fear "-IS THAT GUN REAL OR SOME COSPLAY -bleep!- ?

[b]Gut punch, completely knocking the air out of Jim as the first quickly retracted, then met his nose [/b] "WATCHER!" [b]Kross seemed panicked at the sudden movement, because it was sudden... Two firm punches by Watcher. [/b]

[/b][/quote] Jim crumpled to his knees, gasping for breath while trying to breath through the gushing liquid that was his blood pouring out of his nose. He glanced up at Watcher with a face of terror and disbelief of what just happened.

[i]"There's your bloody bruises mates."[/i] [b]With that, he turned and walked into the dojo[/b]

[quote][i]"There's your bloody bruises mates."[/i] [b]With that, he turned and walked into the dojo[/b][/quote] Jim looked off into space momentarily. He glanced back at Watcher. He didn't know why he did it, and it would be a mistake he'd probably regret, but for an instant, Jim had a lapse in reason and threw a rock at the back of Watcher's helmet. Immediately, Jim realized what he did as it made contact with a *[i]clink[/i]* before bouncing off, and stared wide-eyed at some unknown presence to his left.

[b]Watcher immediately pivoted around and drew a red revolver with blue lines on it He walked towards Jim, and shot into the man's thigh[b][/b][/b]

"GRRAAYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!"

[spoiler]Right side, the outter side of the thigh[/spoiler] [b]Kross jumped in front of Watcher, pushing him back as he bolstered the weapon [/b]
