WHO: all of you
WHERE: day 74
WHEN: through the day tbh

[there's trauma approaching in the distance but it ain't showing up quite yet THIS day!

it's a really beautiful day, actually. sunny and deeply pleasant weather. maybe sometime today people might return from a snadventure (snake adventure), or maybe not? the wildlife and your lil resident sheep are all perky and up and at 'em and full of energy. hopping.

what about you?]

Comments

[leonheartedly]

Mmm, and balancing it out is ultimately what I'd want to do.

I appreciate the advice. I've never really done something like this before.

[doggonemad]

Truth is, I always throw myself in at the end 'cause I don't wanna hafta worry about that shit for my own fights. Always goin' balls out, yanno?

[leonheartedly]

[the corner of his mouth lifts]

You hold back when you fight, right? Only makes sense you'd want the best.

[doggonemad]

I scale myself. Lil' different from holdin' back in terms of intent, but same result, sure.

[leonheartedly]

Is there anyone you don't have to scale yourself for? Out of the normal guys.

[doggonemad]

. . .

Ya gonna get all pissy if I say there ain't anyone?

[leonheartedly]

[he tilts his head]

No? Why would I get pissy?

[doggonemad]

Ego shit. Guess that ain't you, though.

No, there ain't a single normie I don't scale myself for.

[leonheartedly]

[he smiles a bit]

Yeah, that doesn't bother me. Only way I see it is that you'll be able to tell if the rust is coming off or I'm getting better or worse.

[doggonemad]

'Least the pasture is makin' my job easy, puttin' you an' Acheron-chan in the same barn.

[leonheartedly]

You're going after him too?

[doggonemad]

Yeah, annoyin' lil' shit. Guy's got a shitton of potential, but he ain't usin' it for jack.

[leonheartedly]

So you're gonna bring it out of him.

[doggonemad]

Mmhmm. He's in real dire straits right now.

[leonheartedly]

Is he on board with you jumping him?

[doggonemad]

Is anyone on board with me jumpin' them? I'm bein' gentle. He won the last time I did it.

[leonheartedly]

[he shrugs a shoulder]

I am, it isn't like I'm not getting something out of it. I figure you wouldn't do it if someone was completely against it.

[doggonemad]

Nope, sure wouldn't. Like Charon-han, for example. Could he benefit from me trainin' him on some level? Yeah, sure. But I can tell he ain't interested — at least, not in what I've got ta offer. So I ain't ever gonna swing a fist at him unless he gives me reason to. What's the point?

[leonheartedly]

Mmm, you'd just be wasting both his and your time. I'm sure plenty of people could benefit, but you can't teach if someone doesn't want to learn.

[doggonemad]

Exactly! I got a reputation, but even I don't need ta attack people that ain't wantin' it on some level.

[leonheartedly]

[his eyebrows furrow]

What reputation?

[doggonemad]

Dangerous unpredictable shitlord.

This Clover shit is really fuckin' that up.

[leonheartedly]

[. . . nah, they're having a nice conversation, he won't give him shit about it]

So you've got a little more added onto your rep. Not a bad thing.

[doggonemad]

I'll think of somethin', get it back on track.

[leonheartedly]

[he smiles a little]

Is it really that bad?
