Jerry was certain she gave him a haircut that time as he stumbled back in a frantic dodge. If it wasn't for that... magic shield thing... "Candace! Look- Y-you're... you're fabulous! You did marvelously, I don't see why you're... you're s-still worrying about that! If.. if you wanted to talk..." He kept Roar pointed up for now, doing his best to try to use him as a shield while he tried to reason with the girl. Oh... oh... .damn! If Harrison was here, he was certain he'd feel similarly.

He called her fabulous. He told her she was marvelous. Candace stumbled a bit as the words hit her. No. NO. She wasn't ready! She needed this! She didn't want to lose this. It really was like watching a druggy who'd been clean for a long time and finally given the hit they'd been craving for so long.
She raised the scythe to bring it down on him now, something she had done several times in that room. The blade only met with muddy ground. "Damnit.."

Jerry squeaked as he only just barely managed to roll away. "C-candace I don't want to have to do this!" The cannon swung around, aimed directly at her as he braced himself, shut his eyes and pulled the trigger.

"Too bad, babe. It's not a fair fight if you don't fight back." It already wasn't a fair fight! But a part of her honestly didn't expect him to actually hit her. She was hit in the stomach and pushed backwards from the force, slipping on the mud again and landing on her back.
Whoa. Damn. She'd never had Roar intentionally aimed at her or even hit her. He really packed a punch. Candace growled and rolled over to get to her feet, picking up Circe again and glaring at Jerry. He actually hit her! Sure, it'd hurt! But instead of crying about it she laughed. She laughed more than any person should when they were just hit with a bazooka attack. Candace was using Circe as her support as she doubled over and...well...she was cackling like a witch who had just been successful in killing someone. Or something. Either way, when she looked at Jerry again she was grinning. She swung the scythe again, up this time instead of down or across.

Jerry gave another yelp as the scythe slashed into him- but thank goodness no body parts were severed.
He had never... *officially* had a girlfriend before, but he had not expected it to be an, ah... abusive relationship.
"C-candace, look! You g-get so down on yourself but there's really no reason for it! You're beautiful and... and smart and funny and- OH GOD" He dodged another swing, staggering back a few paces until he could swing Roar up for a fresh blast, praying to knock her back for a few more moments of attempted rationalization. "We're only human!"

"You're beautiful!" Candace stopped midswing to just stare at Jerry. Her eyes were wide and jaw dropped just a little. "And smart and funny!" She just stared. "We're only human!" He...he thought she was..? A hand went to her head and she hissed, most likely with pain. Thinking. Thoughts. Processing things other than 'kill All The Things!' hurt. She stepped back away from Jerry and closed her eyes, very nearly dropping Circe. Instead she dragged the bladed end of her along the ground a few feet.
Why was he being so nice to her? She only wanted in his pants, didn't she? She wanted to use him and move on. This was all for Candace's selfish gain. The man, the scythe...the scythe was her true happiness, right? It made her perfect. She had to be perfect!
"Jerry..." She sounded somewhat calmer, at least until Circe seemed to flare angrily with a bright glow. Candace's eyes opened again and she growled. "Wh-why are you so nice to me?!" Candace came at him again, swinging the blade his way again.
The hit connected and she backed off a bit, chest and shoulders rising and falling with short, panicked breaths. "I don't deserve it! J..just...stop being so nice! Stop getting yourself hurt, stop getting yourself basically killed! Especially not for me! Yo..you idiot!" She cried, gripping the scythe's handle tightly in both hands. Goddamnit. Why was he still being so nice to her?

For a moment, he thought he had gotten through to her. But a scythe swing later he realized he was mistaken. With a yelp, he toppled backward from the blow, glasses bouncing in the grass. "B-because!" He managed weakly. In the blur of the world, he somehow managed to swing Roar around, aiming at her ankles- if he could get her off her feet somehow, maybe he could.... "You're... you're the only girl who's g-given me the time of day! L-let alone..." He pulled the trigger.

Because what? Suddenly she found herself on the ground again, staring up at the sky in clear confusion. Why was she on the ground again? This wasn't right. She should be on her feet. Wait! Circe?! Where was Circe?! "Circe? CIRCE?!" She scrambled onto her hands and knees and searched all of half a second for the scythe, finding it not far from her and laying in the wet grass. She sighed with relief and grabbed her, standing quickly and swaying a bit. She had had no trouble at all with Jordan, why was fighting Jerry so hard? This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. She was supposed to crush all of her opponents in a single strike just as she had before. Why was it so difficult?!
"Let alone what, Jerry?" Candace jabbed the end of the scythe's handle into his stomach and pushed him down, standing above him with one foot on either side of the man and bending down close to him. "I'm not the sweet girl you think I am, Jerry. But I'm wondering if maybe you just...don't understand." She tilted her head to one side, supporting her weight with the scythe, its handle digging into the ground for now.

He grunted at the poke, his face reddening almost the color of his burns, "I do understand. What it's like to feel completely useless, and slightly dysfunctional," He straightened, pushing his glasses back onto his face as he suddenly stepped toward her, "But... B-but-" He drew in a sharp breath, and lunged-
If anything, maybe she would drop the scythe in surprise and he could kick it away while keeping her distracted- his lips suddenly locked with her's.

"No, Jerry. You don't understand." He didn't grow up with her! He didn't know what her home life had been like, what her school life had been like. He could claim it all he wanted but Jerry did not understand. She was about to make her point, pun intended, until the man suddenly lunged at her. She wasn't expecting it. She slammed against the ground with a thud and a grunt, Circe flying from her hands and landing on the ground beside the woman and the man pinning her to the ground. She reached for the scythe, crying out in despair as Jerry's foot forced it away and out of her reach. "No! NO! NO! WHY ARE Y--" The kiss cut off her shrieks and she tensed, eyes wide and hands going limp and just dropping to the ground on either side of her head.
Jerry...Jerry was kissing her. She struggled at first, trying to wriggle out from underneath the man and shoving at his shoulders. Off! They had a fight to finish not...not...
God, he was a surprisingly good kisser. Candace's arms suddenly raised to wrap around his neck, pulling Jerry closer for a harder kiss.

Jerry winced as his burns were jostled, his face flushing and he pulled away a few inches, meekly pushing his glasses up his nose, "Look, I'm... I'm sorry. I don't.. I don't know what's gotten into you but... but you should take that thing back to it's REAL master." Roar suddenly desummoned in a glow of green light, reappearing in whistle form hanging from his neck. Before she could grab the scythe, he suddenly reached to try to snatch it up.

Jerry pulled away and Candace pouted up at him. No. She did not say he could. She pulled him down again for another kiss, clinging to the man and holding him close. She wasn't done, damnit. She'd let him go when she was ready to--damnit! He was talking! She huffed and narrowed her eyes at what he was telling her to do, turning her head to find the scythe. He was making a grab for it! No! Circe, frustrated with Candace's failure to finish her task, desummoned on her own. There was only a flashing, glowing blue eye floating where Jerry was reaching for now.
Candace groaned and lifted her head only to hit it against the ground, repeating the process a few times. No. No. No. No. NO. UGH. It wasn't fair! This was her day out! Her day to shine! This was her chance at perfection! "Why are you doing this to meeeeee." Candace cried, just laying there on the muddy ground. "It's not fair. Why can't I do something that makes me feel good."

Roar growled in his head as he picked up the little glowing eye, staring down at what looked like such an innocent object. He swallowed thickly, "B-because you're worrying me, Candace." A bit of friendly sparring was one thing... but such a harmless object shouldn't put that sort of glint in your eye. "Just... calm down a minute and look at yourself." He tried to give her an assuring smile as he gently reached out to touch her shoulder.

Worrying him? Candace breathed heavily, eyes wide and her face pained. She was worrying him. She'd ******** up. Again. "I..I'm sorry..." She said quietly, actually sounding like she meant it. Whether she really meant it or not was debatable right now. Candace closed her eyes a moment when he told her to look at herself. "No." She didn't want to see herself right now. She was so disgusted with herself. She'd failed again.
She was so pathetic.
His hand touched her shoulder and she opened her eyes, the glint of the floating blue eye catching her attention. Circe...
"Baby...I don't deserve you." Candace said quietly, gesturing for him to come closer for another kiss. This one was sweet unlike the rest of them had been so far, but that wasn't the only difference. With the rest of her kisses Jerry's groin hadn't suddenly had her knee shoved against it.
Damage done: 3
Note: :V Candace's knee doesn't get the honor of a d12. I hope this is okay.

Jerry sighed against the kiss, but that momentary moment of mentally skipping through flower fields was cut short by a sharp knee to a tender spot and a tight, high whine.
He dropped the little blue eyeball in favor of things much more needing of his attention, falling to his knees.
Roar was cackling. The flowers were burning. Jerry's eyes rolled. This is pathetic. Is that any way for a chick to treat ya? Almost immediately, the whistle expanded, and he was forced to catch his weapon, wobbling a bit with a distant expression as Roar took matters into his own hands... so to speak. Before the hunter could even register what he was doing, the cannon was swung upward towards the guilty woman, and fired.
