i just died in your arms 2nite.

Stupid games with their stupid rules about stupid free will...

What is this, huh? I don't have time for some dumb game about my feelings! Why do you want to see some fifteen year old kid running around talking about his problems?! 'Cause that sounds pretty freaky to me!

I may not know much about this whole "dreamwidth" thing, but it sounds like a big stupid con! Only cheapskates and liars would go around pretending to be people they're not. So what's your angle, huh? Is this how you get your kicks!? You're such a fucking sicko!

...

So are we gonna fight or not?

...I suppose I should take this time to introduce you to the merits of precautionary pacifism, shouldn't I?

[santacabezaqueen]

Give it up, kid. My whining before only delayed the inevitable.

[memorial]

...Are you actually going to fight your player?

[shonenhero]

C'mon, Kurama, when has pacifism ever solved anything?

[shonenhero]

Yeah, yeah, we get it, you're boring.

[shonenhero]

[Get ready for shouting.]

Yeah, right. Like he'd let me, the big- stinking- coward!

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU HEAR ME? I'M CALLING YOU A FREAKING COWARD! GET DOWN HERE! AND FIGHT ME! LIKE A MAN!

RAAAAUGH!

Well, that didn't work...

[imanapexpredator]

I don't think they'd want to fight people who could probably kill them.

[shonenhero]

Total freaking cowards shouldn't be in charge of what I say and do, if you ask me. What's next, you gonna watch where I sleep, you jerk? WELL?!

[leftinred]

I was hoping for a first time in your career.

[imanapexpredator]

[Recoiling a little at all the yelling. Jesus man, chiiill.]

...You sleep in their heads so...don't they already do that, technically?

[W-weak chuckle. He was telling a joke but. It's kind of true?]

[shonenhero]

Yeah? Well, why change a winning formula?

[shonenhero]

Do they? I was never good at this philosophy stuff. Am I gonna wake up as a bug next?

[leftinred]

My bad entirely. Let's... let's skip to the pummelling.

Although I imagine Koenma wouldn't forgive me for overlooking to remind you humans have... different capacities for pain. Do hold back. A little.

[shonenhero]

I would, if I could find the freaking guy. He's hiding around here somewhere. Can't go too far, or I turn back into a cartoon, huh?! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! YOU HEAR ME? I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS!

...Yeah, yeah, I'll be careful. No busted arteries, and I'll only cause fractures, no breaks. Scout's honor.

[imanapexpredator]

[Neither is he, to be honest. Philosophy is his cousin's thing.]

I don't...I mean, I guess they could make that happen?

[Wait no he doesn't want to start thinking about that now.]

What does that even have to do with anything?

[shonenhero]

I dunno, I watched a late night TV show like that once. Y'know, when you fall asleep on the couch, and you wake up and it's late night horror programs as far as the eye can see...

[leftinred]

I suppose it would be best to think of it as... Territory.

[imanapexpredator]

Oh, yeah. Like, Mimic and The Human Fly type of stuff, right?

[Yay, T.V.]

[memorial]

[Whoa, ok. That stuns her a little, but she ends up chuckling softly.]

I don't think the place you were talking about earlier sounds that bad. Well, at least most of the time.

[shonenhero]

So what, I have to find him in the territory and teach him a lesson?

[shonenhero]

The feelings game? Look, pal, I seen my fair share of games, and all of 'em stink. At least I don't have to worry about dying this time. Really... kills the suspense.

[memorial]

...Was that supposed to be a pun?

[shonenhero]

Yeah, yeah, like that. I guess. Ugh, I hate horror movies, my whole life is a horror movie. Or a fighting manga...

[shonenhero]

...Haha! Nice one! Here, how about... "In the divorce, she got a new..." Wait, that doesn't work... "In the marriage, she got a new name and a dress!"

[memorial]

Huh? I don't get it.

Oh, wait, now I do. My player...doubts I would know what marriage is, but doesn't think that barrier matters much here.
