SALVO'S PL: 104,000 |
PL MULTIPLIERS: None |
Salvo would have probably made threats towards Jackie upon being called Sally in that tone especially, but seeing as how she was supposed to be on good behavior, she held her tongue. Besides, the sooner she got all this garbage work done, the sooner she'd have her hat back on be on her way to pillaging other planets for the time being. Besides, this whole charade of nonsense became almost sort of fun in its own unique way once Jackie had decided to twist it into more of a competition than just meandering yardwork.
There was little chance of Salvo defeating Jackie in any direct, one on one fight, but in this specific scenario, she possessed a glimmer of hope that the sheer ferocity with which she was approaching this task would give her the edge she needed to come out as the victor. Knowing Jackie, she'd care just enough about handling the chore delicately that it'd slow her down to the point that even the faster speed at which she could move wouldn't be enough for Salvo to outpace.
Although, Jackie did take the time to taunt her, which, even though it was probably the reaction the Earthling had wanted, peeved Salvo off even further. "I be just warmin' up, lassie!" Salvo snapped back as she directed her muscles to work even harder. The Heran was now pushing herself as hard as she would in the most brutal of battles, all just to clear away a field and gather lumber. Still, it was hard to deny the quick results - what would take ordinary men days was being accomplished in mere minutes by Salvo and Jackie.
That being said, the sheer speed at which the lumber was being chucked over into Salvo's pile was prompting the gathered wood to begin smoldering due to the sheer forces of friction it was up against. Salvo didn't notice this, of course - nor did she notice when the pile suddenly went up in flames! The wood began to crackle and burn ferociously, all while Salvo quite literally added more fuel to the fire, too laser-focused on her task to care. Hopefully, Jackie would take notice before the ire began to spread...
