Who Potemkin, Nightmare Knight (Cucumber Quest)
What Voicetesting


It is practically routine for Potemkin, exceptional soldier with the first seat at the table of the President, to investigate what could be a threat to Zepp. He had the loyalty, determination, and sheer durability to be relied on, especially when the danger had no face attached to it or no precedent.

10202187 magical energy spikes observed. No visual data on record. Exercise caution. I trust your discretion.

The original mission description repeated in holographic letters before Potemkin's eyes just before the doors of the transport plane lifted at the drop off point. The fall was over in seconds, but the walk and the search will be much longer and involved. Potemkin wasted no time, moving out as soon as his feet were on the ground.

That one might be hard - surprising him would only cause more shit to take place - but the Knight had little intention of backing down, now.

Potemkin's own attempt to circle the walls weren't unnoticed - another barrage of slightly stronger stars littered the area around him, impacting small craters as he did his best to glare at his opposition. He was focused on Potemkin, even as he watched the other man handle his projectiles with intentional ease.

It was impressive a person could withstand such pressure, at least...

Potemkin has the endurance to remain stable to keep absorbing the small explosions, which frees him to look at the Knight himself instead of just the stars being pelted at him. It's a double-edged sword that they immediately challenged each other in a room so large and empty; it's lacking in any distractions Potemkin could have used, but on the other hand it allows Potemkin to freely move around.

Making a large lap around the hall gives Potemkin time to think. Certainly, this was his target. But based on that, Potemkin expects him to be capable of more than this. There should be nothing stopping the Knight from going all out. Was he initially only trying to scare him?

Potemkin judges if it's worth it to keep the Knight underestimating him, then decides the time to capitalize on the surprise would be now. The next time a star is headed for his arm, Potemkin reels back a punch, hitting the star square on until it shoots the other way.
