06 - Just give me something to fight for

[ichoosefight]

[ Video ]

[ Steph is in the gym. From the look of her she's already gotten a bit of a workout, but she's raring to go for more. ]

I'm in the market for some sparring partners. I want to start training again. I'm pretty out of practice. I mean, three months ago I was training with Batman, so take that as you will, but I'm out of practice.

I don't have any of my own weapons, obviously, but if anybody wants to practice with weapons I'm sure I can get some from the supply closet. I'm talking serious training here, not just playing around.

So... if anybody wants to spar right now, you can see I'm in the gym. So bring it!

[ Private to Bruce Banner ]

[ This message is quieter, more serious. ]

I don't want to talk to therapists anymore. I don't like it, and I don't think it's helping me.

Comments

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Thank you, but no; I believe once was sufficient for demonstrative purposes.

May I ask a personal question?

[ichoosefight]

You can ask, but I probably won't answer.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Who are you really seeing when you're looking at me?

[ichoosefight]

[ Oh she is prepared for this question, and she doesn't miss a beat. ]

Skeletor. Only instead of your chest the 'x' is on your face.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

You're lying, Steph.

[ichoosefight]

I totally see you waving your hands in the air when you get mad, like aaaah!

[ SHE DEMONSTRATES. ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

[He waits patiently for Steph to finish her demonstration, waits a beat, before saying,]

If you refuse to answer honestly, I'll have only my assumptions to go on.

[ichoosefight]

[ SKELETOR VOICE: ]

Let this be our final battle!

[ There is your answer. ]

1/2

If I should find myself in the gym, I hope you will have enough consideration to give me my privacy.

[ichoosefight]

Dude, it's an open gymnasium. There's only so much privacy to be had.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Noted.

You asked for it!

[neverfeltbetter]

[He's been watching these two banter on for a while, but when he sees this he really can't help chiming in, even though he know's it's a terrible idea.]

I can't believe I never saw the resemblance. He really does look like Skeletor.

[He laughs.]

Only, the cartoon was better looking.

[ichoosefight]

More stylish, too. [ Says the hero in the purple hood. ]

[neverfeltbetter]

Yeah, the loincloth was a nice touch.

[ichoosefight]

I always thought he must hide stuff under there. Nobody would ever know. Now Scorpius, he doesn't look like he has any room in his pockets.

[neverfeltbetter]

Do bondage suits come with pockets?

[See, now you got him started with that.]

[ichoosefight]

I don't know, I've never shopped for one.

They might have like, condom compartments.

[neverfeltbetter]

Well, he wouldn't need much space for those. Think they even make ones small enough?

[Oh yeah, he went there. He so went there.]

[ichoosefight]

Why bother? I'm pretty sure once you get small enough it's physically impossible to get someone pregnant.

[neverfeltbetter]

Small blessings.

[Ba-dump cha.]

[ichoosefight]

Bazing. Got any more gold you'd like to share with the class?

[neverfeltbetter]

I think I've said enough.

[ichoosefight]

Aw, don't hold out on me now. Everyone loves a public spectacle.

[neverfeltbetter]

Must be why I've been so damn popular lately.

[Still bitter about Dean telling the whole barge he got kidnapped. Yep. He sure is.]
