"And then you do it? That's not really helpful. Should I be mindful of anything? Think of a place, as in a vague description, a place in particular? Think of me standing in that place?"
Samantha rolls her eyes at you and says cheekily "I said that was lesson one!!! I'll get to the rest of it later."

Looking at the yellow hulk.
"Oh, that guy. Calling everyone puny is a sure way to get a boulder dropped on the head. Meteorites are dangerous, I hear.
"Just stay clear of him. Somebody will come along eventually."
quote:
By the way, do you prefer Samantha or Sam? Sama? Mantha? Tha? I prefer to call people one syllable names, if possible. Two syllables, at most."
"I prefer Samantha. My father used to call me Sam!!!" And she's obviously furious about that.
quote:
While waiting for a response and for a ring to free up, I pay attention to Slider and Magehammer's bout.
According to the spectators, they've been at this for hours. Just as you find a good spot to watch it from, Magehammer hits Slider in the face with an uppercut that sends him flying out of the ring. They're done. Magehammer bows before grabbing Slider and both disappearing to who knows where.
So you're using your sword and the Chaos katana? Samantha is using two Chaos katanas.
She tells you "Don't take it easy on me because I'm a girl. I'm gonna cut you. Don't be afraid to cut me."
So you begin. You're swinging at her, but she's so short she just ducks under most everything you throw at her and uses the opportunity to cut your legs. At first it's not bad, just little nicks. But as it progresses, she's cut your legs up enough that you cannot stand on them anymore. You fall onto your back.
Samantha jumps up into the air and down in a somersault, landing with one foot on each of your biceps. Then she raises both of her swords over her head in victory.
Then she climbs down off on you and waves her Chaos katana over your body. A white aura flows from you and into her swords, healing your injuries within seconds. If you check, you won't even have any scars.
Then she helps you up. She's much, much stronger than an average eight year old and says "Now I'm ready to teach you teleporting. I said you had to fight me. I didn't say you had to beat me."
