((Or you guys can fuck off telling me how to play my character, thanks.

Seriously, if the first thing I wake up to with a stomachache in the morning is griping about how I should play my own character, it surprisingly does not endear me to playing them more.))

Megumi is still distracted. Woo.

Megumi flashes him a thumbs up before looking off in the sky to watch an interesting bird.

"Silly! Don't do stuff like that!"
Megumi manages to yank the bot up, showing disproportionate strength for a girl her age, and returns to being oblivious.

Still freeform's not something that gets consistently good results I'd say. There's always going to be questionable issues, because unless both people state every single last detail, even if they are being perfectly mature about it, some actions might work in one person's mental image of the scenario, but it won't work in the others.

I mean, suppose you say "X punches Y in bodypart Z" but how? Could be anything from a weak ineffectual tap from someone inexperienced to something like a punch from boxing or Wing Chun. And still, there's more issues, say you choose the Wing Chun one ((since I actually know enough about that one to describe a punch in it)), how is it executed? An ideal one would be one with a perfectly relaxed arm, shoulders back and insanely fast with minimal telegraphing, the wrist only tensing right upon impact. And even that may or may not incorporate body rotation. And it has a specific optimal range, which needs to have been established. And chances are is that all it'll do is knock someone back because a lot of people think that's what a good punch do as opposed to what most martial arts punches seek to do which is to make a person crumple or something that keeps them well within range and vulnerable.

Or you could not overthink stuff and do it.

make one then
