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.

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.]

[ichoosefight]

Aw, don't be like that. You're not a spectacle.

[neverfeltbetter]

[Have you met him Steph?]

Then I'd just love it if my name didn't keep coming up on the public line.

[Looking at you too Scorpius.]

[ichoosefight]

[ SHRUG. ]

Scorpy's an ass. People will figure it out and just stop paying attention.

[neverfeltbetter]

Not arguing with the first part, but he's very good at getting what he wants. And if attention is one of those things, you can be he'll find a way to make sure we're listening.

[ichoosefight]

I dunno. People around here commit murder to get attention, and they still get a lot of eye rolls.

[neverfeltbetter]

That's...not comforting.

[ichoosefight]

No, I guess it wouldn't be.

[neverfeltbetter]

[Way to suck the fun right out of it Steph.]

How did we get from He-Man to this?

[ichoosefight]

I think you got creeped out by the derogatory sex jokes.

[neverfeltbetter]

Hey, as I recall I started the derogatory sex jokes.

[For which he is still not sorry.]

It's the thinking about him that way ever that makes me want to burn my metaphorical eyes out with acid.

[Yughck]

[ichoosefight]

That's just what I said. You got creeped out.

[neverfeltbetter]

Fine, I got creeped out. You didn't?

[ichoosefight]

I'm immune. It's my superpower.

[neverfeltbetter]

Well share the secret would ya? That guy gives my goosebumps goosebumps.

[ichoosefight]

I would, but you're a little old and a little male for it.

[neverfeltbetter]

Never mind. I don't want to know.

[ichoosefight]

You almost certainly don't.

[ Nobody ever wants to hear about 15 year old kids being pregnant :| ]

[neverfeltbetter]

[Yeah, don't tell him that.]

Fine then let's get back to the pop culture references. I gotta say, it's nice to have anyone who even knows what the hell I'm talking about half the time.

[Crichton, they may get the references, but that doesn't mean they actually know what the hell you are talking about...]
