Messages

• The teenager erupts with a strange utterance that sounds kind of like, "Oh crikey, oh eck, oh crumb. Oh narf!" and tries to hide.
• Your teenage sidekick shouts, "Duck, <player_name>!" at exactly the right time. You duck, and your foe misses.
• Somewhere off to the size you can hear the teenager mutter, "Jinkies, I hope that baddie doesn't see me!"
• The teenager ineffectively shouts, "Zoinks, that looks dangerous!"
• The teenager whines, "Schnikes, this is getting serious. I shouldn't be here!"
• Your teenage sidekick gets really charged up, and shouts, "Holy moly articholey! I mean hokey smokey artichokey! I mean, wowsers! No, like, gadzooks! Or something!" Your opponent is so confused by the inane string of verbiage that no attack is possible.
  

Dismissal Message: You decide you're better off without a sidekick and shoo yours away.
