w0, monday

[foreverphantom]

[ i am writing these starters up absolutely brain to keyboard, no filter or forethought

so anyway dante is in the relaxation area, pouring a cup of ass coffee into the plants. not like, dumping it. like, intentionally splitting up the coffee into equal portions for each plant. ]

[doublefists]

Okay, why are we killing the plants?

[ eyebrow raise, as she comes over with her hands in her jacket pockets. ]

[foreverphantom]

Are you so sure this'll kill them?

[doublefists]

... Yes? I know how plants work.

[foreverphantom]

I don't. [ shrugs ]

So caffeine kills them. Noted. But how quickly does it kill them?

[doublefists]

That I don't know. I'm not a plantologist.

[ a beat. ]

What's the point of killing them?

[foreverphantom]

Boredom, I guess.

[doublefists]

[ gives him a flat look ]

Okay, well. Quit killing plants. I'm thinking about putting together a sparring thing. You want in?

[foreverphantom]

[ like he's breathing air for the first time since he got here: ]

Absolutely.

[doublefists]

[ help

snorts, and reaches to ruffle his hair, rudely. ]

Great. Start doing pushups, shrimpy. I'll let you know when me and Strohl have a better idea of what to do with it.

[foreverphantom]

[ elbows her arm off his head and shoves at her half-heartedly

it's affection week but the condescension of 'shrimpy' is pissing him off. affection week does mean he only lightly shoves, though ]

Not my fault this stupid body came all emaciated. [ he's not emaciated now, but, y'know. it was. ]

[doublefists]

[ that's fair. shrimpy is actually affectionate for her, but she's a bully. ]

It's not, no, but you can make it less that way.

[foreverphantom]

Not if everyone refuses to fight me because I'm too "shrimpy."

[doublefists]

I have absolutely no problem with punching you in the face.

[foreverphantom]

[ just gives her a look of like. "really?" ]

[doublefists]

What, do you want me to prove it?

[foreverphantom]

Well. Yeah.

[doublefists]

[

reels back her fist and tries to punch? it's a 12 in like, terms of strength. just with her regular fist, by the way, she's not wearing her metal gloves. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ god could you imagine. he'd be reduced to pulp.

anyway he reels back a little with the hit, and straightens back up with a hand on his cheek, laughing a little manically. ]

Alright, finally!

[ and then immediately throws himself into a punch to her face! This one is a 16. it's probably equivalent to vi's 12. ]

[doublefists]

[ HELP YEAH SHE'S NOT GOING TO KILL HIM LISTEN

but - he reels back, and laughs, and she fucking snorts at this. vi's a really accomplished fighter, it's about all she's good for, so she sees the punch coming, but she doesn't bother dodging. she takes it easily enough, and just immediately rocks forward with the rebound momentum to clothesline him.

this is a 3 though so y'know, not full strength. she's not holding back necessarily, she just knows she's got more muscles than him. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ because it's a 3 i'll say that the clothesline makes him trip and stumble a bit but doesn't completely knock him down

once he's got his balance again, he leaps to tackle her, all limbs out like a spider, except i rolled a 6 so do with that what you will lol ]

[doublefists]

[ help

my mid rolls continue with a 13 but he throws himself at her and tackles her - she stumbles forward, catching herself, and instinctively reaches over her shoulder to try and grab him by the back of his shirt so she can like... pull him over her shoulder and slam him down into the ground on his back. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ i like how we are the only two people in the dice roll channel rn

oh he hates the shirt scruffing tho

once he's flat on the ground, he immediately retaliates with BICYCLING LEG KICKS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER, POW POW POW (it's a 14) ]

[doublefists]

[ i know if it wasn't obvious now it'll be later

gets BRUISED TO HELL by this, and makes an annoyed sound before just straight up sitting on his legs. stop that!! it's a nine so it's probably not super graceful.

also just straight up reaches to slap him against the side of the head. the disrespect. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ at this point he's just cackling--and not in like a diabolical way, just in a genuinely delighted (if unhinged) way. the slap only increases it

i rolled another 14 for his next bout of punches. imagine a tickle fight but with fists ]
