"Hmph," Nokia said, looking down at the tube of toothpaste in his left hand. His eyes quickly scanned the room, examining the soldiers' positions in an instant.
The soldiers drew their weapons, but Nokia's draw was faster. Aiming the tube of toothpaste at the group, he grinned with an evil smile.
"There's no way!" Claudia screamed.
In a flash, Nokia vanished from sight, dodging the hail of bullets with ease.
"He's so fast!" Claudia said, trying to track his position. A faint blur of silver, followed by a trail of blue Aura, was all she could see of Nokia as he made his way forward.
Reappearing upside-down, Nokia's feet nearly brushed the ceiling as he spun in midair. Blue streaks of toothpaste burst from the tube, splattering into soldiers' eyes.
"My eyes!"
"We can't see!"
"He's everywhere!"
Chaos erupted as soldiers stumbled blindly.
Drifting through the air, Nokia looked back at the view overlooking his balcony. His eyes went beyond the blinded soldiers disabled by his clever attack as he took in the sight from his floor-300 penthouse view. Scanning the city's skyline, he struck a pose for the drone, capturing a 360° shot of the entire scene with his Aural presence at the center of it all.
"My mornings may be pretty dull," he said, voice steady over the noise, "but this view makes it all worth it."

Nokia selected a dagger, drawing it instantly.
He landed lightly on the bed, facing Claudia back where they had started.
"Damn it!" she snarled, throwing her shotgun aside and unsheathing a sword. "You've already gained too much Aura!"
Jumping onto the bed, Claudia lunged at Nokia with her sword.
Easily parrying her attack, Nokia tripped her with his left foot, sending her falling onto her back. Using the opportunity to his advantage, Nokia landed on top of her as their blades interlocked.
"Claudia," he whispered, his frigid blue eyes locking with hers. "If you were trying to get into bed with me… there are much easier ways."
Claudia's face flushed so red she momentarily lost composure, struggling to maintain eye contact with Nokia.

"Alright I think that's enough farming" Nokia said confidently. "It's time I got serious."
"It's over for you, Claudia."
EEEEERRRRRR!
Crackle! Crackle!
The door to Nokia's apartment creaked open once again. The sound of a bag of chips crumpling echoed as it opened.
[📜System Message]
[🤦 -500 Aura]
"What?!" Nokia snapped, turning toward the door. "Why am I losing aura!"
A man with crazy red hair and an extravagant red sweater stood in the doorway, munching on a bag of chips. His eyes were closed in gleeful bliss as he entered without a care in the world.
"Yo, Nokiii! What's up, man!"
[📜System Message]
[🤦 -500 Aura]
Nokia's heart palpitated as he realized the Aura losses stacking against him.
"Of all the goddamn times to interrupt… you just had to show up now, Marco!"
