Melon Field 3 [Ammie]

[melonfield]

On the far side of the island, quite a distance west from the town, there is a melon field. It lies between the edge of the forest and Memento Eden's largest lake, basking in the open sun. On occasion, water fowl waddle nearby, though the influx of visitors to the field seems to have scared them off. The soil nearby goes from hearty to moist and

Sakura stalked over to Red #2. Red. A good, strong, violent color.

Still, Sakura was a trained ninja (even if she'd only come by that knowledge second hand, it was no reason to dishonor her profession). Kneeling down by the melon, she gave it a through prodding over.

[melonfield]

It felt like a normal melon beneath her fingers, except for its disturbing tendency not to give in the least. It resulted in a rather hard, non-cushy feel.

[cherrygloves]

Pulling a kunai from her pouch, Sakura attempted to cut the melon.

[melonfield]

The kunai glided over the smooth melon skin without so much as a scratch.

[cherrygloves]

Sakura tried a few different methods - scratching at it lightly, furiously stabbing it, cutting at every possible angle she could think of, trying to etch the outline of a heart in the rind, burying the hilt of the kunai in the ground, heaving the melon above her head, and bringing it down on the blade with a scream of pure rage...

[melonfield]

Almost gleefully, the melon remained unscathed, serving only to push the kunai further into the ground.

[cherrygloves]

Graaawr. Sakura seized the melon, pinned it with her knees, and began punching it. And hand-chopping it. And elbow-dropping on it.

[melonfield]

The melon showed no wear or tear from any of this, though each impact was quite large. Then, that meant all the force went to the being that was not the melon.

[cherrygloves]

Gyah... So plain brute force wasn't going to work at this rate. Fine. Ow. Damn.

Sakura picked the melon up and dropped it.

[melonfield]

The melon fell on the soil. And laid there. Without showing the slightest sign of abuse.

[cherrygloves]

Maybe if she dropped it from a higher place? Sakura picked up the melon, walked over into the edge of the forest, and Kawarimi'ed herself into the tallest tree she could find.

Then she hurled the melon down with great force.

[melonfield]

The melon fell down, and down --

And surprisingly, unlike many of its melony cousins, hit the ground and exploded into a mess of sweet melon juice and flesh.

((%2 for Sakura!))

[cherrygloves]

"...HELL YEAH!"

After basking in her moment of glory and teleporting herself back to the ground, Sakura paused. Now what?

She shrugged and gathered up some of the more intact shards. Time to visit the lab.
