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.

Huh.

Nobody's ever apologized for trying to kill me before.

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

Can't imagine they'd feel the need to.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

It would've been a nice gesture. [ She shrugs. ] Even just from my dad.

But it kinda begs the question of why you feel the need.

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

I don't feel the need. Take it or not.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

Why apologize if you didn't feel the need?

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

I don't....feel the need, I..


Damn it, girl. Let me apologize and be on me way.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

Well, see, the thing about apologizing is that it's supposed to make the person you're apologizing to feel better. Kind of like a promise that it won't happen again?

If you can't do that then you're just apologizing to make yourself feel better, but it doesn't mean anything whether I accept it or not.

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

It won't happen again. It...ain't, I'm.

I'm taking steps to make it not..so I won't be losing me temper an'...

[jesus this is a terrible apology]

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

[ No, no, it's getting better! ]

Yeah? How's that going?

[ This is not a pointed rhetorical question but honest curiosity as to his progress in not murdering random kids. ]

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

Terribly.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

Yikes.

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

Aye.


I'm. Sorry about your beau.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, well... he's okay now. Just try not to kill anybody else I care about.

[ Everyone else is free game. ]

[Video, Private]

[tentacruelest]

I'm doing me best not to kill anyone for reasons that ain't important.

[Video, Private]

[ichoosefight]

Good. Uh. Keep up the good work. I guess.

[ This has all been very strange ]
