I hope my post is satisfactory -- this is the first time I've written combat in a tabletop roleplay. Just let me know if I should change it and I'll fix it right up.
“That was preeetty bad.” Still, Luna gave him a thumbs up. Truly, he was a pea from her pod. Her face dropped at the sound of a pealing bell, her inventory opening suddenly in her face, stopping her short. Satisfied she hadn’t gone deaf, she looked at it, scowled, and dismissed it with her hand. “What a weird gli… tch…”

What happened next came in slow motion.

Smack was there, and then he wasn’t. The woman was a hostile mob, and particularly vicious at that. She surged forward, the water parting easily, hand closing around his knee in a vice grip. Luna seized, stunned; but she had to move, right now. She shot forward, catching Smack by the wrist. “Hold—shit!” She tumbled face first, water forced into her mouth and throat. She surfaced with a gasp, doubled over, coughing. Vision momentarily clouded, she felt, for the first in a long time, fear; but the thought of her old guild, taunting her for being beaten by a low-level mob, pushed it from her mind.

She couldn’t lose.

Scrubbing her face, she stood, thoroughly soaked, the wind biting at her skin. “Let go of my man, y-you waste of space!” Of course, her plan only went as far as a heroic one-liner. She knew she had no weapon or offensive skill; she didn’t even have a rock to throw. She blinked. But she did have—!

Grabbing the brim of her hat between her index and middle finger, she threw it as hard as she could. It wasn’t particularly aerodynamic, but it did the job, hitting the mob square in the face.

“Move your ass!” Luna screeched. “That’s not gonna distract it for long!”

I've been around! I was waiting for the next GM narration -- which was what I thought I was supposed to do.

I didn't even realize it actually did post. I thought the app error killed it.
Luna cackled. “Me and you, Smack… Me and you, we’re gonna get along just fine.” Her smile would have been reassuring if it not matched with a wicked glint. “I could swing either way,” she said. “Men, women—doesn’t matter if you’ve got that spark, you know? I, the moth, am drawn to any flame.” She accompanied her speech with exaggerated hand gestures, thumbs looping together to mimic a butterfly. “That’s why some people, while beautiful, are absolutely, nightmarishly boring.” She looked over her shoulder, sly. “You, Smack, have the spark.”

“I’m not the small-talk type-’o-gal,” she said, hopping down from the incline. “But if you want to talk, that’s fine by me. Just don’t expect me to be listening, unless it’s im-por-tant.” With great hypocrisy, she continued, brow furrowed: “Imagine, you’re doing something important, and your party member—a level 95 ranger—tells you that you have to see this, right now. And it’s… it’s a…” She inhaled. “A meme.” She whipped her head to Smack, stricken. “It’s impossibly ridiculous, isn’t it?”

Closer, now, to the naked woman, she lifted an arm, waving madly. “Hello?” She called. She tried again, standing tip-toed. “Hello? Hello!” Nothing. She turned, nudging Smack with her elbow. “You try. Maybe, maybe she’s not into fine women!”
Luna grinned. “No idea whatsoever. Maybe we died and went to heaven.” She stuck out her hand. “My name’s Luna. Not Lunar, no R. In case you ever want to send me a private message.” She rocked on her heels. “This doesn’t look like any area I’ve seen, and I’ve been playing for a long time.” She jerked a thumb over her shoulder. “There’s a weird house thataway. I didn’t want to go by myself because that’s how you die first in horror movies. Not that this is one, but the logic would probably apply to real, actual life.”

She opened the menu, raising an eyebrow. The majority was greyed out; the logout button had a padlock on it. She scrolled down with a flick, face brightening, before hitting PARTY. “We can’t be friends, but we can be in a party. What kinda logic is that?” she said. “A-Add…” She swallowed a laugh. “Smackahoe.”

“Since we’re party members now,” she continued, oblivious to the possibility of her companion rejecting her offer. “I’ll let you have a say in how we do things. Should we check out the lady or the creepy house?” She ran a thumb along the brim of her hat. “If it’s a dumbfuck idea, I’m gonna decide for us, y’know?”
