Monster Wrangler

Citaly returned her attention to the fight. "It looks like Rayfe's Magnox has Chandra's Scovine pinned, but... oh, a clever use of Cinderfall! ... These umbrellas are fireproof, right?"

"Well, if we're still using the oldest strategy available since we relied on teeth and fists, there must be something to it, as our winner, Desmond Brown, and Zephid have shown! Congratulations to him! Both competitors and their monsters put in a great effort!"

Citaly chuckled pleasantly. "I didn't know about the article, but that explains some strange questions I got around that time. That is really amazing."

"Indeed," she replied with a bright nod. "And Saturnadus are about as smart as the average person. He's probably got a few thoughts about you." She looked at her Hergh affectionately. "Herghs, meanwhile, are as dumb as they are ugly and disgusting. But they have good qualities, and it can be cute fr...

She was silent for a beat as she gave him a strange look, then moved on. "They are unusual, but they are looking into the possibility of using fungal growths for computers, so it's less out there than it might seem."

Citaly clapped lightly (so as not to mess up the mic, but excitedly). "What a fantastic turn around! Congratulations to Calico and Orlok on their surprise win!"

"While I'm not familiar with Ophidian's practices from the inside, I know Luna Films, uses them from time to time, when a monster is needed for a plotline that our on-staff Wranglers don't have available and trained, so I've worked with a few before," she said. "They're fairly smart creatures, espec...

"I deserved that," she noted with good humor at her very lame joke.

"For a smart Wrangler, ice may be an advantage. Water is conductive, after all."

"They are, but as your traveling, most monsters are good at finding meals wherever they might travel, no matter what their diet. Whatever miscellaneous wildlife might be in the field for a Saturnadus, I imagine. I'd be more worried about what one might have to eat in a town."

"Certainly... you can never be too careful when it comes to being near Monster battles."

"What a great idea! I hope she'll agree to join us. In the mean time, we'll see all of you at home at the next match, which looks like it'll be an interesting one."

"Indeed you don't, and it looks like Chandra's Scovine paid the price for underestimating it."

"The Saturnadus... whose name is Orlok, by the way... still has a chance to pull a win out of this if it can get loose."

She looked to Jason. "I did have a lovely conversation with Calico the other day where I got to meet him! He's really even cooler up close."

"I'm hearing from the medics now... apparently the Kleeth got a bit dinged up, but he's going to pull through. That's always good to hear. You can't win every battle, but he put up a good fight, and I gotta say, he looked damned good doing it." "He did! Both of the Wranglers and their Monster did a...

"It is a very striking contrast. But you know what they say: size isn't everything."

"Good point! I think the real trump card here is just what sort of energy that steel murder machine has loaded in its cannon. It could be fire, lightning, it could shoot out a mass of sticky honey for all we know! It could be a wasp cannon. We just don't know!" "I admit, I was kind of hoping for wa...

"I think this one might come down to speed. Both monsters are pretty well armored, so this might end up being a matter of who can strike fastest." His tone shifts as he becomes more excited. "It reminds me of Season 3, episode 14 of The Flavor of Love, when Fabian Mendoza fought a Temprill over the...

"Oh, I would never make Mr. Pukeybirb fight. He has lots of other ways to keep entertained. Between the two, though... and this may be a surprising choice... the Magnox, probably. It's a little tougher, but Mr. Pukeybirb has some advantages with melee opponents."

"It really is an impressive Saturnadus. In fact, this is a good time to warn our viewers at home not to look directly into a Saturnadus' wings, as that's how they get you. I'm reminded of an episode of The Flavor of Love when your character's ex-husband was mind-controlled by a Saturnadus and force...

"You know, Citaly, my daughter Pamela is a fan of this Ashley Elle. She plays her music just... all the time. It's become the soundtrack of my life. Have you had the opportunity to listen to..." He flinches as the little Kleeth is impaled the Maguana's horns. "Oh, that is going to leave a mark! I g...
