Dancing, however, was the last > thing on her mind... "Oh yes. I just looove 'dancing'. Almost as much as Farfetch'd flambé..." Minax, having plucked the Farfetch'd clean of all its feathers, is now rubbing two sticks together to create a camp fire. "Yum!" Shard glares at Minax, "How can you be so relaxed? You act as though you didn't shoot Pain Dance in cold blood!" "That's because I *didn't* shoot your Shitmonlee." Minax looks surprised when the campfire actually starts up. "My... my...?!" Shard shakes his head, "What do you mean you didn't shoot him?! I saw him fall to the floor! If something falls to the floor, that must mean it's been shot! You shot the Farfetch'd, then the bullet ricocheted onto Pain Dance!" Minax tosses the plucked Farfetch'd onto the fire, making note that she'll have to buy a frying pan for impromptu cooking sessions in the wild. She then stands up, draws her silver pistol, and shoves it into Shard's face, "See this? This is a gun. When I pull the trigger on this gun, it shoots one bullet. Bullets lodge themselves into living things. They don't bounce around from one thing to another, contrary to what some bumbling Presidential fools will tell you." Shard smiles slyly at Minax, "I'll play your little game, Minax. Oh, don't think I won't play it." Minax rolls her eyes at Shard's attempt at being dramatic, spins her pistol around on one finger, then shoves it back into her holster. She kneels next to the campfire, breaks the Farfetch'd's leek into 3 pieces, one shorter than the rest, and hands them out, giving Shard the shortest piece. Minax smiles sinisterly, "A little leek for a little man." She removes the cooked Farfetch'd from the fire, uses her long skinning knife to cut portions for her group, and passes it out. Maria sniffs the burnt Farfetch'd meat, notices that Minax isn't a very good cook merely based on the odor, and tosses the piece onto the ground. Slasher, her Meowth, who has less discriminating taste, sucks up the meal in one slurp! "Meeeowth!" Maria looks at Minax and says, "I wasn't hungry. I can't... dance... on a full stomach!" "Whatever." Minax eats the Farfetch'd meat slowly, savoring every last bit. She even releases her Zubat for a moment to suck on the Farfetch'd's corpse's bloody remains. Once Minax and her Zubat are finished with their meal, the Bat Pokemon is sucked back into his Pokeball, Minax stomps out the campfire, and stretches out her arms. Shard, oblivious to Maria's double meaning, places his arm around her, "Will you dance with me tonight, Maria?" Minax, having way too much fun sucking on her large leek, walks up next to Maria, "It's time to tango." -Minax
