[Greetings, everyone. Not that you can expect many greetings right now, since for some reason there is a crying teenage girl being shown on video.]

I... I lost?! To a snowman?! How could I lose to a snowman of all things?! They can't even breathe!

[Yes, this is clearly the most terrible thing that could ever happen, for she is bawling.]

You shouldn't underestimate snowmen.

[ it was an honorable loss... or something. ]

How did he even do that?! It was like he had no blind spots! I couldn't even land a single hit on the guy! And his eyes were cold as ice!

[Why yes, I am having too much fun with this.]

The first rule of battle is to stay cool and collected... Snowmen are experts at that.

[ he supposes?? ]

Just make a plan and try kicking its ass again.

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

That makes sense! I'll definitely do that! There's no way I'll lose twice!

Still, why would ya pick a fight with a snowman in the first place?

[Oh no, poor thing. She feels kind of bad and she doesn't even understand why you'd want to fight a snowman in the first place.]

It's okay! I don't think I could ever beat a snowman!

But it's so vexing! How could I lose to something that doesn't even have hands?!

Snowmen are usually very big, aren't they? Um, I suppose all the extra weight would make it stronger, even without hands... I'm not sure.

[histories]

A fighting snowman? There's so many varieties of these snowmen, aren't there?

Are you hurt?

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. He didn't make a single attack the entire time. He just blocked every single one of my attacks like he wasn't even trying, and once I was all tired out, he said I wasn't even worth fighting and left! That's even worse!

[histories]

He hadn't made a single attack...? What made you decide to fight him, then?

Did the snowman do battle with you?

[Her snowman seemed rather harmless and only liked flattering her. So she's kind of confused.]

video;

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

...In a matter of speaking? He challenged me to a battle, and when I fought him, he blocked every single attack, saying I was too slow to ever match him. After about an hour of that, he said I wasn't even worth fighting and left!

[Gwendolyn gives her a sympathetic nod at that.]

Such actions and words would indeed hurt one's pride. If it would help you, I would be willing to train with you to hone your skills.

[That and Gwendolyn would like to keep up her own skills. Having some sparring partners would be nice.]

[clearwater]

Your snowman challenged you to something?

[oh man he feels bad but wow is he ever bad with crying girls!! oh no panic]

Mine made me find a button... I guess yours was really smart.

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his skills were something else. As a martial artist, I can respect him.

['Why do you even care?']

I don't think you should underestimate a moving snowman.

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

I don't really think I underestimated him, but he's a lot faster than he should be. Or maybe it's that I'm too slow?

So that ol' snowman's bite's as bad as his bark? Could've fooled me!

[Then again, Sonic didn't fight it.]

video

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

...Huh? Bark?

[She is genuinely confused! What's that about bark? This piques her dog-like nature. She didn't hear any barking.]

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

Ah! Are you okay? You aren't hurt are you?

[dog-in-training.livejournal.com]

It's fine... It didn't make a single attack...

[At this point in the day she hasn't yet wandered outside, so...]

...What'd you lose?

The battle!
