Challenge accepted, Gretchen made her way out to the training field, head still bowed over her phone as she rapid fired responses over twitter. All the talk of hamburgers really was making her hungry, and the crazing for Red Robin was real and painful. She'd have to make a point of swinging by one next time she was on leave, whenever that was. The girl was awful at making plans. When she reached the field she put the phone in the pocket of her jacket, then draped that over the arm of one of the training dummies. It was a miracle to her they'd managed to get the zombie stains out of all that white, but it was pristine and perfect again, and she was loathed to ruin it. ( Actually taking some initiative for a change I sssssee.) Her smile flickered, from happy to self deprecating. She thought, hoped, that getting out on the field more often would pacify Devika enough to leave her alone in her evenings.

Technically he should have been using this time to actually get said burger, but Dawson' had as big a mouth for landing himself in situations as he did have a big mouth for food. Besides, he had plenty of time to use up thanks to being stuck in the infirmary for the first half of May. and what better way to work up an appetite than to kick some butt?
Plus, he now had his fancy intermediate coat to show off. Syn was purring with delight about showcasing her power as well.
In his usual jeans, shirt, and hat combo (this time sporting a fancy looking D in blue and white), Dawson made his way out to the field and hummed to himself to help calm his excitable nerves. He wasn't much of a fighter, whatever his rank; all he could hope for was that the promotion at least would mean he wouldn't make such an idiot of himself on the field.
(He could also hope his leg was fully healed. The tech said it was, but he still felt a little paranoid about it.)
"Ey-o, Gretch!" he called to her in greeting, smiling broadly. "Burgerburgerburgers n' frieeeeessss!"

Healed or not, Dawson still had a leg up on his competition for the afternoon. The battle cry drew Gretchen's attention around and onto him, and she responded to that chanted taunt of delicious food with the poke of her tongue between full lips. "Evil incarnate, Mr. Grace." Not the snappiest retort, but it'd do. She blinked at his coat as he came in closer, honey eyes dipping to the trim before she was giving a low whistle. "Now ain't you a sight. Very fancy." The perpetually warm climate meant Gretch had traded in her jeans for shorts,and today dark denim was paired with a bright red t-shirt with a gold W blazed across the chest. Dark hair had been woven down into a pair of loose braids, and a red bandanna kept her bangs from falling into her eyes. "You know, if I win I should make you buy me a burger." Hand extending, she summoned Devika, pointing the thicker end of the staff at him. "You bein' a fancy intermediate'n all, I doubt that'll happen, but that just means you ain't got much to lose here."

He cackled like he was worthy of the title, his belly shaking slightly with each sound. "Maybe I will if ya win, Wonder Woman," Dawson said with a cocky grin, deciding to try and play up his villainous act since she was dressed appropriately. "Now don' start givin' me that now, though. Erryone likes n' underdog story."
He summoned his shield, and Syn was as snarly as ever. She would always look far more vicious than her wielder could.
He tugged his hat backwards. "So don' you dare hold back on me, awright?"

Gretchen flashed him bright grin at being called Wonder Woman. The comic book heroin was her personal hero, she had the very same golden sign inked on her leg just below her knee. If he wanted to play the villain, she was more than happy to play the hero.
Not that she expected to win. She just wasn't much of a fighter.
Dawson's shield flared into life, and Devika followed in a flash of purple runes. She wielded the staff well enough, at least. If she lacked the bravery, she tried to make up for it by learning proper handling of her bo staff. Her grip was more sure, her stance more comfortable.
"Wouldn't dream of it, Shaggy." Not here and now.

A spar wasn't the same as a real fight, not the same as actual battle--with all the chaos and awfulness that came with them. Spars were easier, they were good practice, they could even be fun! Against Dawson, a good friend, she was hoping to have a little fun. Adjusting her grip on Devika, Gretchen darted forward, bringing the staff around in a wide arch to aim at the young man's shoulder.

His shield went up and drastically checked most of the motion, turning the swing into a tap against his shield. Was Syn lighter, or was that just him? The jerky motion felt a little off; so did his leg, but he tried not to think about it.
"Didn' know you was a comic nerd," Dawson said as he pushed her back. "Scout loves Wonder Woman too. Hell, who don', right?" He grinned. [coloorangered]"Gonna strike her pose fer me?"

"Oh yeah, comics and video games." She grinned. "They kept me sane before I was healed up enough to start therapy with prosthetic." Lots of time in the hospital reading. Lots of time on the computer once she was home, waiting for skin to knit, the stitches to be removed, and finally for the pain to recede. She went for him again, Staff bouncing off the front of his shield. "Maybe." Another whack, just as ineffective. "Guess you'll have to wait and see."

"Yeah?" He winced a little, afraid he had touched a sensitive subject even though Gretchen had never before shown an uncomfortable reaction. "Bet I could ask Chris about 'em, he's prolly got a few comics a'hers." And then, twirling a mustache that wasn't there, Dawson pushed her back and tried to swing. "If y'make me wait too long, I'ma hafta go with my eeeeeevil plan!" he threatened. Hp: 48 Damage: 1 Charge: 1/3 Beejoux you might be right.......

Dawson didn't have anything to worry about on that count. Gretchen's leg hadn't been a sore subject for a number of years now. Now it was just another part of her. Admittedly, a part that happened to attract a lot of curiosity, but that was alright. "That'd be awesome if you could. I dunno Chris yet, other than he's Chel's cousin." The shield smacked into her, forced her back a half a step, but Gretchen was laughing at the super villain routine "What evil plan might that be, Shaggy?" Clearly she was going to have to try to stop him! That's what super hero's did. Turning on her fake foot, Gretchen planted the other behind her, shifting her balance for a long wind up as she brought her staff around to try to sweep his legs right out from under him. HP: 39 DMG: 8 CHG: 2/3 medigel well this was unexpected.

"Aw, he's a cool guy!" Dawson enthused, ever the wingman for his brofriend. "Knows his comics n' pop culture stuff, real solid Moonbro, super fit--"
And then Gretchen swung under his shield and swept him off his feet. He landed with a bodily thump on the ground and coughed, then hastily got back to his feet.
"--all 'round nice guy," Dawson continued as if he hadn't just gotten owned. "I oughta let ya'll meet sometime!" He'd forgotten about the evil plan bit in his enthusiasm to possibly land his bro a chick.

It wasn't the first time someone had talked their friend up to her, but it was the first time it'd happened on the island. Gretchen's brows lifted curiously, lips ticking up in a smile. "He sounds like a great guy." Comics and pop culture were some of hr favorite things. "I'll meet him, if you want." More friends would be very welcome. especially ones that already knew the folks she considered herself close to. It was a little impressive how quickly Dawson had bounced back up after she'd laid him out, but she supposed he was in Moon for a reason. "You're a tough cookie." Grinning, she gave his shield a hard knock. HP: 39 DMG: 1 CHG: 3/3

"The best," Dawson insisted, because even though they were stupid and bickered on Twitter, it was all in the name of Brodom.
At the words "tough cookie", he paused. A what? Huh...It belatedly hit him that Gretchen's attack, while powerful, hadn't thrown him for a loop quite as bad as it might have in the past. Syn's smugness infected him, and he grinned. "All part a'the promotion package," he informed her. "Bes' hurry up before they run out!"
And then cackling (he remembered he was supposed to be a villain), Dawson charged the trainee with an evil smile.

"Run out of promotions?" Somehow she doubted that was a thing that could happen. It didn't matter though. Dawson had taken up the mantel of super villian again, and, with a cackle, came barreling towards her. Gretchen couldn't move out of the way fast enough. The shield hit, plowing her over, and she went down hard and rolled. At the very least she managed to keep a firm hold of her staff, and she used it now, swinging at Dawson's leg a little wildly before scrambling back up to her feet. "Back, Fiend!"

This time her staff clanged against shield, the jarring sensation unpleasant but manageable. "Nevarrrrr!" he yelled defiantly, mercilessly continue to push Gretchen this way and that. "I will defeat you n' you'll never get t'live t'see yer promotion, girlie! Yarrr!"
For...some reason, he was starting to sound like a pirate. Just roll with it.
