Chara stirs themself reluctantly, having much the same air of someone who hadn't really wanted to watch the weather channel, but wishes they could stay anyway to avoid everything else. They depress a button with their right thumb, and a needle sticks out that tranquilizer's end.

WHUMP. The monster hits the ground not far from where they stand, and it's stunned enough that Chara drops and jabs the tranquilizer home. It barely feels the sting. The sight of the child is far more offensive to it than the glimpse of their tools.

Movement catches the corner of Chara's eye, and they dodge the first arm-sweep. The second catches their heels from the other side, and their feet fly. 'Oof!' Ow. Tranquilizers scattered. That hurt, sort of, and their dignity hurts more.
