Cole blinked at the unwelcome interruption. His mind snapped back into focus and in one swift movement he rolled overtop of his knapsack, grabbing the long sledgehammer as he sprang back to his feet.
This one cannot be reasoned with. Hit him, strike him, like you know you were supposed to. That IS why you're here.
The voices were back, but Cole figured that at this point, that couldn't possibly be a bad thing. His judgement so impared because of the marijuana, he couldn't screen it out. He glared at the other boy with a hard gaze.
Glancing at Xian hanging from the ceiling, he gathered that if things got hairy, she could always pull herself up onto the top of the gazebo. Her corkscrew wasn't the best of weapons at all, and as it stood, Cole figured he'd have to sort this one out by himself.
"Yeah, you just seemed to crash the party. Thanks a lot. As for your offer..." Cole frowned at the boy. "I'm going to have to decline for now, as dying just isn't on my list of things to do today."
It was at this point that Cole realized that the other boy probably assumed that neither of them were playing - a fact that he was sorely mistaken about. Cole was indeed playing, but for now - just taking a little break.
run xian, run!!
Andrew grinned as he pointed his machete at Cole, never taking his eyes off his sledgehammer-weilding opponent. His paranoia was stronger than ever, and this one seemed obviously willing to kill Andrew. He had to fight. He wouldn't let himself end up like his old classmates.
"Well, well, well. It seems I have stumbled upon another player while sifting through the cannon fodder. Very well, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get."

Still frowning, Cole hefted it expertly, looking at the other boy and shaking his head.
"Don't get me wrong. I've got nothing against you personally, it's just your arrogance - it'll be your undoing, as I'm sure you probably have no idea."
"Don't get me wrong. I've got nothing against you personally, it's just your arrogance - it'll be your undoing, as I'm sure you probably have no idea."
"Arrogance? No, not arrogance." Andrew chuckled as he continued to hold his weapon at Cole. "I know I'll win. I have to win. And for me to win, you have to die!"

Cole had never seen this guy before, but it was soon clear that he was like the ones at his own school that Cole hated - an arrogant, pompous jock-type who believed that they were at the top of the world. Likely the kind of guy who would have been in a group of people sticking him into a garbage can, or the like.
No, this would not do, not at all.
"I already told you, not today! You really expect me to just roll over and take it? Yeah, right. You think that and you're crazy. Then again, you're playing the game, so maybe you're crazy already."
Any crazier than you?
Cole smiled an evil smile. It were people like this boy that he hated, and people like this that he would make pay.

OOC: You want to end this staredown and start a little Hammer vs. Machete fight?
IC: "I think I'll be nice and hasten your demise by letting you make the first move." Andrew said with another laugh, always meeting eyes with Cole. If there was anything watching Class C206 of Shaker High School butchering each other in the last Program had taught him, it was that if you took your eyes off your opponent, you died.
That's what happened to Jimmy. He broke eye contact, and Patrick slit his throat. Or was it Will? Doesn't matter. He didn't believe this one didn't want to fight, everyone wanted to fight. To kill. Andrew would do just that.

Cole couldn't help but laugh. If this moron was letting him strike first, then he had obviously come up with some sort of counter for him. Regardless, Cole decided it was time to do some fighting.
Yes, now was the time! Hit him, strike him, kill him!
Head-faking to the left, Cole swung the sledgehammer to the right, hard, fast, and towards the other boy's ribcage...

Andrew let out an audible yelp of surprise at the feint, and was almost hit, though he managed to jump back in time to avoid the blow. Darting inward to where he was close enough to get hit by the staff part of the hammer if Cole swung, Andrew sliced at the other boy's gut.

He's in over his head, and he knows it.
Cole pulled his chest back and away, but the machete nicked him, and scratched all the way down his sweatshirt. Thanks to the t-shirt underneath, however, Cole only recieved a severe scratch that didn't quite draw blood. Frustrated in himself and his inability to get away, Cole swung upwards with the end of the sledgehammer, towards the face of the other boy...

Stepping to the side, Andrew looked as the upward blow went by. Then he struck with a diagonal slash, jumping back and moving to the side afterwards. He'd have to be watchful with this one, that sledgehammer could easily crush his skull.
He isn't half bad! I'll have to be careful. I'm going to win, I've got to win.

Cole grimaced as the machete cut into his upper left arm. The cut didn't hurt, however, as the adreniline was rushing through Cole's system. Seeing his opponent move backwards, he decided to use momentum against him - and ran forward at the other boy with the sledgehammer like a spear, hoping to catch him in the chest with the hammer end and knock him over...
Andrew's sidestep allowed him to dodge most of the thrust, but his left arm was hit, sending him to the ground with a spinning motion. After the few seconds of being knocked breathless, he rolled to the side and slashed at his enemy's feet while kicking at his chest.

Seeing the impending slash, Cole jumped vertically as high as he possibly could, managing to avoid the slash. As he came down, he aimed his sledgehammer towards Andrew's groin area, hoping to disable his opponent...
Andrew just avoided getting his genitals crushed by rolling backwards and felt a sharp pain as part of his foot replaced his groin as the crushed area. Hurt and a bit angry, Andrew sliced at the neck, going for decapitation.

Reacting quickly, Cole brought up the hilt of the sledgehammer and managed to catch the machete in the tough wood of the hilt. The machete buried in the hilt of the sledgehammer, Cole figured that his options at this point were limited. As such, he lashed out again, this time kicking at his opponent's knee, hoping to hit the 'sweet spot' and bust it completely.
