[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

[Seriously, she had no idea elves were so frigging tall. He literally was towering over her. Still, height didn't make your shots any better.

... even if his were amazing. She made a note to ask him for some tips on how to shoot more ... elvenly.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[It didn't but a few hundred years of living in spiderwood with the worst neighbor ever helped a lot. Oh, and going on a quest to save the fate of your entire world from said neighbor.

He'd be glad to, it's easy: Be an elf.

Okay no, he can probably give her some tips.

As one gets too close and he's taking another arrow to shoot, he jams it through the insects eye and watches it drop before knocking back the semi-used arrow and firing. Tip number one: arrows are good for more than just shooting!]

[the_effect_she_has]

[She arched an eyebrow at the use of the arrow - clever, that. She'll have to remember that. Right now though - she goes into combat training as one of the bugs approaches again, using her crouched position to roll out of it's way, kick it in the abdomen, then shoot it at point blank range.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas shits his position, shooting another as she's taking down her own. Making sure it doesn't get too close, so it doesn't get its hands on anyone. If anything does get too close to him, his has a set of twin knives that he was suddenly very glad to have purchased.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[She took her position back next to him, her grey eyes tight.] There are a lot more of these things than I expected.

[She wasn't sure she was going to have enough arrows -- but at least she had her hunting knife strapped to her.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

But not so many as I feared.

[This is the elf that fought at Helm's Deep. It would take an equal force to worry him.]

[the_effect_she_has]

You must have fought in some pretty horrific battles then.

[She all but muttered, but her shots rang true, one after another. As if her confidence smoothed out any nerves she might have had. Not that she had any.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I have lived a very long time.

[So yes, he has. Tucking his bow away, Legolas draws his long knives and works with them, movements quick and almost practiced. They were heavier than the white knives he'd had at home but they worked as they needed them too.]

[the_effect_she_has]

I've heard that about your people.

[Katniss drew her hunting knife as they started to get thicker - but not nearly as many were left in the charge. She stepped back, putting her back to Legolas's so she could use her bow to knock the creatures down and the knife to take them out.]
