Look out FDC, there's a zombie of the loose! Don't mind that she's incredibly adorable and cheerful or anything, really, don't... Chances are she's already tricked and conned you into doing just what she wants! That doesn't stop a select few from already warning the proper authorities.

Can't a girl just appreciate your brain? With some sauce on the side? And a good coffee too!

Beep boop, there we go - coffee is dripping. Thank you, Mr. Coffee!

"Sounds like you had a real bad experience with these pirates." he replied. "I can relate. It's the same way with mad scientists."

"Yeahp... not very pleasant." she replied and shifted in place. Man she could really use that coffee right about now.

"Guess all the creepers are the same."

[monotreme_101]

"Guess so."

Drip drip drip - man. This thing took a while. Why was this suddenly awkward?

".....so. Uh. You at least get any gold out of your meetin' with the Pirate."

[worldwideweb]

"No..." She sighed and looked at the coffee machine. Stupid machine taking forever...

"Like I said, they're a bunch of con artists tricksters..."

"Well, there's one good thing about being here." Knuckles said, finally deciding there was enough in the pot to pour her some. "You can learn to kick some butt. Next time they cross you, you can deal with 'em and get what's yours back."

Or. You know. Whatever.

"I'd like that, learn to fight and all." Maybe then she could actually help Shantae out on adventures!

"I'm guessing I'll like it here, I mean. Can't be worse than the last place."

"It's actually pretty cool." he said, sliding the cup over to her and getting a new one for himself. (He'd... clean his old one up later, and hopefully before anyone stepped on it and hurt themselves.) "Hey, if you want to learn how to fight, I can teach you a thing or two. I'm a pretty good martial artist."

"Yeah? Maybe... We'll see. I'll keep it in mind at least." Sorry Knux, first impressions and all. But you're fixing things!

And once she noticed the coffee was done, she refilled all the way to the top and started drinking again.

[monotreme_101]

"Don't be too intimidated." Knuckles reassured her. "I know how to go easy on newbies. I wouldn't hurt ya."

Such a nice guy.

He reached over and poured himself a cup.

Missing the point Knux. "I'm sure you don't." Just like you took it so easy on a new face and all right?!

She just took another sip and offered a small smile before looking away.

"I'm serious. If you ever wanna spar, just let me know. Nothin' I like more than a good fight."

Look. His entire life has been made up of one conflict or another - he just has problems being People! It's nothing personal!

"Anyway. I should let you get on with your mornin', huh? You need to know where anyplace is in the school before I go?"

[worldwideweb]

"Right, I'll keep that in mind." she said with a nod and a smile.

"Naw, I'll be fine. I'm probably gonna go and explore some on my own. Get a better grasp of it all. Thanks for the offer!"
