			<description><![CDATA[OOC: Unfortunately, we weren’t able to coordinate to finish our roleplay in time for the deadline, but this is the trash talk promo I had written.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">Clowns R’ Us 2000 are paper champions. On paper, they tell you exactly who and what they are. In reality, they managed to take what Charles and I busted our arses to earn. We traveled to fucking Mars only to have those charlatan circus performers steal what is rightfully ours. But that was then. Since then, I’ve been working. Along with my partner, I earned a shot at another tag title in UGWC. I did it by beating a current champion and once again beating my brother Sebastian. If he can survive his defense against Graves, I’d say we aren’t done yet. He has something I want. First, though, I have unfinished business, not just with the Clowns, but with Remi Storm. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">It’s no secret that my singles record has been spotty at best in the past few months. Remi is one of those who beat me one on one. I’d like to see the look on her face when I’m the one with my hand raised, regaining the XWF tag team titles with my chosen brother Charlie Nickles and she is left losing yet another title match. I can almost taste it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">To be blunt, I am the tag division. Here, in the Coalition and anywhere else I choose to deem worthy of my time. All that I touch turns to gold. It’s why they put my face front and center on the Bad Medicine poster. I understand that they felt the need to airbrush my scar out. It’s a defining feature, but it’s something I’m willing to accept knowing that management believes in me and my ability to steal the show and regain the tag team championships. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">The clowns love to mock, to cosplay as others, because they have no personality of their own. They can’t even stick to two clowns as champions. Surely we’ll see Astronaut and Houston clown again after their big victory, right? After all, they are the tag team champions. Nope. We get Southern Gentleman Detective Clown and Noir Clown. But they as a collective are simply sight gags and one-liners to get a laugh. There is no substance to be found. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">They love to mock my Director persona. To insinuate that I had something to do with the injuries to Jennie Nickles and manipulate the Charlie Nickles is…honestly flattering. Because regardless of whether or not any of it is true, they are giving me credit for doing something no one else could do. Think about it. Jennie Nichols, the Scarlet Verdict, who went to prison for murdering several men. Jennie, a dangerous woman who also had success in our business for a brief time. If I took her out? Just imagine how dangerous that makes me. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">Then there’s her brother, the great Nickleman, who’s a grand slam champion in XWF, a future Legend. The man who let’s not forget, reduced Peter Principle to his personal puppet, terrorized the entire company for months. A vicious pit bull of a man who even the greatest of XWF stars fears is now my lap dog? I may laugh at the thought but yet, that means I did what no one else could and played 3D chess to manipulate the greatest manipulator the XWF has ever seen. Does that not prove I am the Director? I am in charge and I make the impossible happen? Believe what you want, but my reputation precedes me.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">Let’s shift focus to the other “team” involved in this contest. We have Remington Storm, who unfortunately holds a win over me. She says she hates my face. She admires people like Rowan Vance, an inexperienced child who has done nothing in this business. She’s disgusted by me and, in turn, my brother. The irony of that coming from someone who looks like someone asked Stevie Wonder to draw Jenny Myst from memory. She looks like she went in for a Brazilian wax and they couldn’t tell which end, which set of lips to wax because not only was the mug that ugly, but the amount of natural hair was about the same. See, two can play at that game, Remi.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">Congratulations on winning the Television championship. You beat Bobby Bourbon and if the year wasn’t 2026, that might have been impressive. See, ol’ Bobby, that bastard, hasn’t been the same since his tongue injury. Since he left Thunder Knuckles alone to defend the Anarchy tag titles against me and Thirty-six. See, Thunder Knuckles was supposed to have a mystery partner, but since he has no friends, he stepped up to us alone and we freed Anarchy from TK, maybe forever. Bobby talks a lot of shit, but ultimately, he gets in his own way. Notice that I’m speaking more about him than you right now, Remi? It’s because with you there isn’t much to report. You beat Bobby and then you promptly lost the title to Korvayne. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">While she’s worried about her other match at Bad Medicine, facing Charles and Sam Dyson, who is looking unstoppable, do you really think you can count on her? She took your title. Are you going to let her get away with that? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">And then there’s you, Julia. Congratulations on your TV title win. It’s too bad you’re going to lose it to Charlie. Speaking of which, you’re still bitter about that little stunt that I orchestrated when you teamed up with Charlie against the Exiles, aren’t you? Did you really think he liked you? Did you think you could trust him not to stab you in the back the moment it became advantageous? You have your simps, but I’m starting to believe that is actually short for simpletons and you are the biggest of them all. How delightfully naive it was of you to think that you could just waltz into a tag title opportunity and…oh, I guess here we are. You have the opportunity to team with someone you don’t trust or like. Sound familiar? I suppose the result will be the same then. You not winning and me walking out as a two-team XWF tag team champion. <br />

The cursor glides across the screen and opens a new window, their home screen is YouTube. The algorithm does what algorithms like to do and suggests a random video with only a few hundred views. A quick click of the mouse and the video loads up, we see the title "Most underrated wrestler nobody remembers." It was posted over 10 years ago by somebody going by the username "Tylerbigbootyluva42069." </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The video begins with a low quality stretched out image of the most generic looking late 90's wrestler you could imagine. He stands six foot tall, long dark dreadlocks hang down over his face. He is shirtless with basic black elbowpads and wrist tape. To really complete the great value attitude era, attire the baggy, slightly glossy black leather pants. The narrator of the video begins to speak. It is a younger male, somewhere in the early to mid-teens.  Either puberty was on its way or he was using a &#36;10 ACER office microphone, his voice hollow with constant cracks and pops.</span></span><br />

The AWF is one of the top wrestling companies in a very crowded field. Legendary wrestlers like Luke Shelfstocker, Lajon Witherspoon, The Convict, Drunk N Stupid, dominate the screen. Names known across the world, peak athletes in the prime of their lives battling for the biggest prizes of them all. Meanwhile, silently in the background a wrestler so underrated yet somehow the most important person in wrestling history secretly worked his 7-D chess game. He created the archetype for what modern wrestling psychology is and most people don't even remember he existed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The image changes to another low-quality PNG file of the same wrestler, this time he's standing backstage at the kraft food services table. A can of soda in one hand, a plate piled high with various meats in the other.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #e82a1f;" class="mycode_color">Tylerbigbootyluva42069:</span></span> According to several completely unverified internet sources The Edgecrusher, real name Marc Summers, was born sometime in the year 1983. He was left on the steps of an orphanage where he lived till around the age of 7 when he was adopted. Tho, historians disagree on the exact date since nobody cared enough to write it down. A fitness celebrity well known in the 80's becomes his father. Sadly, what should have been the beginning of a story book life quickly turned to his own personal hell. The celebrity turned out to be a raging and abusive alcoholic whose entire purpose in life often seemed to be to make Marc miserable. The poor child was able to keep his sanity by watching pro wrestling any chance he could get. He dreamed of being tough like the stars on his screen. Be free from his father, free to be the Marc he was destined to be. A major break came to him around the age of 18, a life changing opportunity was provided to Marc. He was working a part time job cleaning floors at a local sports arena that held monthly wrestling shows. One of those shows a wrestler known for his high flying, hard partying lifestyle had no-showed an event. With only minutes till bell time and no other wrestlers available the AWF booker grabbed the first person he saw... the janitor. And so the Edgecrusher was born.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Yet another low-quality image of The Edgecrusher, this time he sits at a long table. White cloth draped over it, behind him a white curtain with his logo. Below the logo in bold black "Autographs! Today only! &#36;50." the &#36;50 is crossed out and below it "&#36;25." The 25 is also crossed out and below that "Free." There is nobody in line, and the Edgecrusher looks to be struggling to stay awake.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #c10300;" class="mycode_color">Tylerbigbootyluva42069:</span></span> The Edgecrusher, also commonly known as "EC" doesn't have an impressive win/loss ratio, despite being the companies longest reigning US champion he lost... a lot. On the surface it appeared he was a really horrible wrestler who just lucked out with a string of fluke wins. A flash in the pan he was not. That's exactly what EC wanted you to think! Every embarrassing loss was all part of his master plan! Then when the time was right he sprung his trap, tricking the US champion into tripping on his own shoelace and knocking himself out on an exposed turnbuckle. He kept up the act of being a moron and retained his title time after time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Another picture of the Edgecrusher, he stands wearing the AWF US title in the hallway of some random arena. EC slowly fades out of the picture leaving only the empty hallway and a chunk of his elbow Tylerbigbootyluva42069 missed when he was cutting the image out in GIMP.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: #c10300;" class="mycode_color">Tylerbigbootyluva42069:</span></span> Then suddenly... he was gone.  No announcements, no retirement party, no belt relinquishing, no obituary, just gone. He vanished from the face of the earth never to be seen again. The AWF was eventually exposed as a mafia operation, federal investigators seized the offices, and all AWF records vanished. Did the Edgecrusher just retire and all evidence get destroyed? Was the Edgecrusher somehow involved in the Mafia organization? If so, is he even still alive?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">our scene fades to black as Tylerbigbootyluva42069's video abruptly ends. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Unfortunately, the truth of what happened to Marc over 20 years ago is sooooooooo much more idiotic than any of that...</span></span>]]></description>

On the surface it appeared he was a really horrible wrestler who just lucked out with a string of fluke wins. A flash in the pan he was not. That's exactly what EC wanted you to think! Every embarrassing loss was all part of his master plan! Then when the time was right he sprung his trap, tricking the US champion into tripping on his own shoelace and knocking himself out on an exposed turnbuckle. He kept up the act of being a moron and retained his title time after time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Another picture of the Edgecrusher, he stands wearing the AWF US title in the hallway of some random arena. EC slowly fades out of the picture leaving only the empty hallway and a chunk of his elbow Tylerbigbootyluva42069 missed when he was cutting the image out in GIMP.</span></span><br />

He vanished from the face of the earth never to be seen again. The AWF was eventually exposed as a mafia operation, federal investigators seized the offices, and all AWF records vanished. Did the Edgecrusher just retire and all evidence get destroyed? Was the Edgecrusher somehow involved in the Mafia organization? If so, is he even still alive?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">our scene fades to black as Tylerbigbootyluva42069's video abruptly ends. </span></span><br />

The ART Foundation wants YOU!<br />
<br />
The ART Foundation isn’t a stable or faction. It is a movement built under the vision of the Artist of Atrocities, the Minx with the Million Nicknames… the GREAT Korvayne… where every moment inside the ring, backstage, and beyond it is treated as a canvas for our artistic visions. <br />
<br />
Our goal in XWF is to live by the ART Foundation credo. The ART portion of the ART Foundation is what you make of it in your character's personal view. That is what separates us from factions. For example, ART can be an acronym for Aperture of Real Truth... Art Revives Thought... Abandon Reductive Tastes or some such. Something that captures the idea of the faction's mission. Like, bombastic expression, being outrageous, rebuking the tired and formulaic old guard, etc<br />
<br />
You can even change the acronym in every segment or roleplay. Have fun with it. <br />
<br />
We’re equal parts in-character collective and out-of-character creative hub, a space for storytelling, collaboration, and pushing angles further than they’ve ever been pushed before in the XWF. If you are content with being background noise, walk away. <br />
<br />
We even have our own Discord server!  That’s how you know we’re totally legit!<br />
<br />
Current members: <br />
<br />
Korvayne (Warfare roster). Former TV Champion. Winner of March’s promo-of-the-month. <br />
<br />
Ser Lionel Pennfarthing (Anarchy roster). Everyone’s favorite thespian. He wears many hats, plays many roles. Sometimes he’s Vinnie Lane. Sometimes he’s Darth Farthing. When around Korvayne, he plays three roles: her Hand, her Herald, her captain of the Kweensguard. <br />
<br />
The Simp (NPC). He’s a grossly rotund man who defeated 1,000 other simps for the honor of being the one TRUE Simp for Korvayne. He’s a meat shield for her and enjoys being bossed around and abused by her. <br />
<br />
Chadsworth (NPC). He’s Korvayne’s artistic Muse. He is physical perfection. The ultimate sexy hot body manly Gigachad. He does not join Korvayne for the shows, so he will rarely, if ever, show up on screen on Warfare. However, he is featured in roleplays. <br />
<br />
Doug (NPC). Crusty-looking and older than Scoops if one could believe such a thing. Wears a faded Army jacket. He was homeless until Korvayne came along and let him join if he’d jump on grenades for her and be another meat shield. <br />
<br />
Don’t fret if you have a meh win/loss record. I have lost like 4 in a row with Korvayne. <br />

<div style="text-align: right;" class="mycode_align"><span style="color: #ffff44;" class="mycode_color">Location: Gravy’s Boneyard</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;" class="mycode_align"><span style="color: #ffff44;" class="mycode_color">Ring. Mid-afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;" class="mycode_align"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/zfDgZNs5/BYsm.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">There’s a few more students than we're used to.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">About a dozen or so folding chairs lined around the ring. Notebooks out. Pens ready.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">One of the newer kids leans over:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;" class="mycode_color">"…are we allowed to—"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff5f54;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"Shhh!"</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves is already in the ring.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Arms crossed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">And staring at them like they’re meatbags who just learned how to sit upright.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Miss Furry’s in the ring too, rolling her shoulders and loosening her wrists.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves exhales sharply.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Alright. Since apparently we’re a school and schools are required to teach <img src="https://i.imgur.com/pUgtAVa.gif"> shit."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He waves vaguely towards all of them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Today we’re doin’ somethin’ stupid."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He points at Furry.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"And you. You got a big match coming up, so pay EXTRA attention!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She doesn’t even look at him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"I always do."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He cracks his neck.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Collar-and-elbow. Lock up proper. Right hand here!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He grabs his own collar.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Left on the elbow."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He taps it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Are you even listening!?"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry finally looks up...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Smiling.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You? Teaching fundamentals?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She tilts her head.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s like listening to a chainsaw explain stealth."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves shouts a a single—</span></span><i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"HA!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Then straightens.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Oh I can do it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Steps closer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I’m incredible at it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Leans in a little.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I just don’t respect it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">And straightens again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Collar-and-elbow was invented for pussies."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">A student shifts uncomfortably.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves keeps going anyway.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Little tiny farmers. Starvin’-ass dummies. Didn’t wanna get hit 'cause they were frail little bitches."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He lets it sit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"So they invented a chicken-shit way to fight... where nobody actually fights!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He turns back to Furry.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It’s for the bitch-mades."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry steps into him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Real close-like.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"So it’s for me."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves leans down just a little.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You said it..."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">They’re too close now.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Not demonstration close.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Fight close.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Then show me."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">One of the students shifts in his chair.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;" class="mycode_color">"…uh, should we—"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff5f54;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"Don’t."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves doesn’t break eye contact.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Lock up!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">They snap into it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Hard.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">No easing in.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves drives forward.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry lets him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Then turns it into a </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">quick trip!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He stumbles.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"There!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He jumps back upright.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Again."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">They lock-up again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">This time he doesn’t rush her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Furry adjusts, w</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">aiting for the overcommit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But it doesn’t come.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…huh?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yeah."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He shoves her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But not forward—</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">sideways and at a w</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">eird angle.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">She takes control and </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">tries to spin him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But he just lets go and she falls</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…what?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You’re waitin’ for me to fuck up."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He shrugs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I don’t gotta."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">That… actually annoys her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s not how this works."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It is for me."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">She steps in again, faster this time.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Grabs the collar and </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">pulls, trying</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"> to force the exchange.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Graves absorbs it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Doesn’t fight it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Doesn’t help it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He just stands there dead weighting her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re ruining it."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yep."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She stops.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…oh."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Now she gets it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re not losing the exchange."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He tilts his head.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re refusing to have one in the first place."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves grins.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"There she is!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">The tension breaks, but it's n</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">ot gone yet.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s stupid."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It works."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He taps her shoulder.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You punish mistakes, right?"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Yeah..?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Well—I punish assumptions."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She huffs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…you’re annoying."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yeah."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He turns away and exits the ring.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Go win our belt back."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She watches him go for a second.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Then looks at the students.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Write this down."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She gives them time to ready their pens.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"If they're waiting for you to engage...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">Don’t.</span><span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">A student raises a hand.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;" class="mycode_color">"…So we should run instead?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves shouts from a distance.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"ONLY PUSSIES CONSIDER RUNNIN'!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry frowns.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff5f54;" class="mycode_color">"Idiot!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She taps her notebook with a pen.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You're expelled."</span>]]></description>

<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He points at Furry.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"And you. You got a big match coming up, so pay EXTRA attention!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She doesn’t even look at him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"I always do."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He cracks his neck.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Collar-and-elbow. Lock up proper. Right hand here!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He grabs his own collar.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Left on the elbow."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He taps it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Are you even listening!?"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry finally looks up...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Smiling.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You? Teaching fundamentals?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She tilts her head.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s like listening to a chainsaw explain stealth."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves shouts a a single—</span></span><i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"HA!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Then straightens.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Oh I can do it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Steps closer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I’m incredible at it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Leans in a little.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I just don’t respect it."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">And straightens again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Collar-and-elbow was invented for pussies."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">A student shifts uncomfortably.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves keeps going anyway.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Little tiny farmers. Starvin’-ass dummies. Didn’t wanna get hit 'cause they were frail little bitches."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He lets it sit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"So they invented a chicken-shit way to fight... where nobody actually fights!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He turns back to Furry.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It’s for the bitch-mades."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry steps into him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Real close-like.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"So it’s for me."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves leans down just a little.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You said it..."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">They’re too close now.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Not demonstration close.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Fight close.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Then show me."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">One of the students shifts in his chair.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;" class="mycode_color">"…uh, should we—"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff5f54;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">"Don’t."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves doesn’t break eye contact.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Lock up!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">They snap into it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Hard.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">No easing in.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves drives forward.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry lets him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Then turns it into a </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">quick trip!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He stumbles.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"There!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He jumps back upright.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Again."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">They lock-up again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">This time he doesn’t rush her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Furry adjusts, w</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">aiting for the overcommit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But it doesn’t come.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…huh?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yeah."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He shoves her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But not forward—</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">sideways and at a w</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">eird angle.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">She takes control and </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">tries to spin him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">But he just lets go and she falls</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…what?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You’re waitin’ for me to fuck up."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He shrugs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"I don’t gotta."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">That… actually annoys her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s not how this works."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It is for me."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">She steps in again, faster this time.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Grabs the collar and </span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">pulls, trying</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"> to force the exchange.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Graves absorbs it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Doesn’t fight it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">Doesn’t help it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He just stands there dead weighting her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re ruining it."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yep."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She stops.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…oh."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Now she gets it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re not losing the exchange."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He tilts his head.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"You’re refusing to have one in the first place."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves grins.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"There she is!"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">The tension breaks, but it's n</span><span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color">ot gone yet.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"That’s stupid."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"It works."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He taps her shoulder.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"You punish mistakes, right?"</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Yeah..?"</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Well—I punish assumptions."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She huffs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"…you’re annoying."</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Yeah."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">He turns away and exits the ring.</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="text-shadow: 0 0 9px purple;font-size:10pt;color:green;">"Go win our belt back."</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She watches him go for a second.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Then looks at the students.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"Write this down."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She gives them time to ready their pens.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"If they're waiting for you to engage...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">Don’t.</span><span style="color: #fbb8ec;" class="mycode_color">"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">A student raises a hand.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;" class="mycode_color">"…So we should run instead?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Graves shouts from a distance.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Furry frowns.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff5f54;" class="mycode_color">"Idiot!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff851b;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">She taps her notebook with a pen.</span></span><br />
