New Old Guy.

[balboa]

Hey, yo, I don't go pretendin' to know what all goes on around here... you ask me the whole thing's crazy-cuckoo. It ain't crazy to have good taste though, so I guess to each his own. What matters is I get cooped up too long, I get out of shape, I get Mickey on my back. All day long he's on my back. So that ain't good for anybody. It ain't good for me, it ain't good for Mickey gettin' all hopped up in his age, and it ain't good for you gettin' your brain all irregular over some knucklehead like me catchin' cabin fever. You got me? Not that there's a cabin here, but I digress.

You win... you win everything for this. Just take it. Whatever it is it's yours now.

[Wait, what? Why is she being sent to talk to this guy? Because the mun's happy to see him for some reason. Sigh. Whatever. Now Rocky has a super jaded teenage girl in weird clothes and a bow on her head to talk with.

Now if only she could figure out what he was trying to say in all that rambling.]

Well... nothing around here makes a lot of sense, but if you're looking for something to do I'm sure your mun will find something soon.

Aw, thanks. :)

I keep still any longer, they're gonna call me Ol' Mossback. I been called worse, but who knows what you kids will come up with these days.

Of course! Rocky's the best.

[descendsfromshadow]

... Well, that's the first time I've ever heard "Old Mossback" anyway, but I have heard worse, yes.

[She folds her arms, tilting her head a little. Weird guy, but okay, she'll bite.]

What do you need to keep in shape for, if you don't mind my asking?

[balboa]

Oh, uh, I'm one of those guys that gets his head knocked in for a livin'. [A pause.] Actually, I got a fight comin' up with the champ if you could believe it.

[t800]

Maybe you should do something about this Mickey.

[balboa]

Hey, you got it in your head you got a better trainer, I'm listenin', but I gotta tell ya, Mick's the best.

holy cow. seconding winning everything.

Keeping busy, and not cooped up, is a good thing. You just want out or is there a destination in mind?

<3

[balboa]

Well, y'know, I was hopin' to hit the gym, go for a run at least. Maybe pick up some fish food on the way. Anyplace I can do that I'm generally a happy guy.

[ex_intergalactics528]

I like running, too. Well. Jogging. By fish food, do you mean actual fish, or food for aquarium fish?

[balboa]

Food for fish. He ain't got no aquarium but the little guy manages alright. One of those little bowl jobs. Anyways, I'm always up for company for joggin' if you're lookin' for some. I'm not a bad conversationalist neither.

[ex_intergalactics528]

Fish are one type of pet I've never had. How hard are they to deal with?

Company, huh. I guess I could go for that. Usually I run on my own, unless a friend has some free time. And some decent conversation.
