Hop vs Coma

[Hopalong]

A forest which used to be clustered but since last week has been constantly emptying due to a lumberjack company working there way through. They've simply chopped down trees and broke them down for firewood, being left for pick up later. Wood chips littered the ground for some reason. This is what Jens stood in the middle of. Not sure how he got here, not sure if he really wants to know how, but he's here. Couldn't have been kidnapped, otherwise he wouldn't be properly dressed in his black and yellow jacket and red jeans. Plus all his weapons, 40 makibishi, 10 shuriken, 2 kunai, and specialty molding clay[5 blobs].

Regardless now he was in the middle of a forest, some trees chopped down and disembodied. He leaned against a tree casually waiting for some explanation, though he had no way to know it was coming. Patience is his weakness, but now he's fighting it.

The murderous lumberjacks obviously stopped at nothing to procure their lumber. I stopped but a few meters from the forest edge, approximately five meters away from the start of the trees and fifty meters away from the forest's center, my eyes watery from the massacre. Those disembodied trees cried out to me in a manner of which no one could understand. My heart sunk as I drew my legendary blade, and pointed it at the tree's bark, pushing it through it's chest spewing guts and sap all about.

"Shh. . It'll all be okay."

As a tear rolled down my eyes the Kusanagi glistened in the light, moved by the scene, slowly beginning a trek into the depths to free any other trees from their suffering. Those. . motherfucking Lumberjacks, oh they'd pay!

Jens was quite the distance away from the vengeance-ridden man, but he unknowingly began walking in his direction. Perhaps I'll just fly out of here once I find out where I am. Sounds simple enough. He shoved his right hand in his jacket pocket, and continued walking in the man's direction. Twenty five meters away, he looked down and found a weird object on the ground. An axe, but it seemed rather harmless as it was made of plastic. Couldn't do any damage, but he picked it up out of curiosity, wondering what purpose it served. "Hmm... Weird." He knew they had these things for cutting down trees. He held it in his left hand inspecting it.

He soon encountered a crying man, which was questionable. What was there possibly to cry for in the middle of a forest? Probably some wuss tree-hugger. Jens hated those kind of people that cried randomly. Looking to him rather confusedly but with his face also hinted a lack of interest, he spoke to the man, "Dude, the fuck are you crying for?"

[Comatose]

My heart sang as my sword grew. The truth was. . that I was the lumberjack. I had lied to get close to the trees, and live amongst them. I had learned their ways, standing, gathering, sunglight, letting out oxygen. It was a tough life, but I grew no closer to them. I still had no respect. It would be over forty-meters now, and with no indication, I'd bring the weapon right and left in one fell swoop, dismembering all the trees from their sternum. With their trunks exposed they could do nothing but spew sap. With the rate the man was moving, covering vast distances in mere seconds there was nothing he could do, he was well within the kill-zone.

[OOC: Just noting you never acknowledged how far away my character was when you attacked]

Jens was only 5 meters away when he realized the man was doing something odd. He was holding a blade, and it began to grow outwards. In the first second of it's extension he watched it slice through a small tree. It wasn't now hard to task for the shinobi to realize he was obviously being attacked, or was getting caught in the crossfire. With a blade that long and most likely growing longer, no doubt it was aiming for something, and so far there was nothing but him and the trees. Since the blade had no previous indication of growing, and was extending 40 meters at a rate of 4 meters per second, this was a feat that'd take 10 seconds. Unaware of this, but desperate to stop the man from killing him. He dropped his plastic axe in shock.

He broke out into a dash at the sight of the man extending his blade. 5 meters a distance easy to clear in less then ten seconds, upon in kicking range of the man, he swung his leg upwards to hit the man in his crotch. It was the only logical way he figured he'd stop. He grabbed a kunai in case the man retaliated, but he screamed to him, "Are you trying to kill me crazy bastard?!"
