[Roland will have to ask Johnny later if 2023 is a good year to rock. He's been just as itching for a fight, too, eager to see what these kaiju he's heard so much about are made of. No disappointment so far, these are tough little buggers.

Well, at least Roland is fast enough to make sure his mouth and eyes are closed when he gets sprayed with croc viscera. He's had much worse sprayed on him, that's for sure. Such is the life of a vampire hunter. He extracts his weapons, and rubs at his faces with his forearm sleeve.]

Fast, aren't they? They've got the advantage of being able to move about in the sand much better than I can.

[Despite all the violence that just occurred, Roland seems fine. He didn't get hurt, and really, he feels invigorated now.]

Thanks for that! Nice backup. I owe you one.
