LIVE!!!

[iamverybadass]

Who: Talon and Coyote and YOU
Where: The Arcade
When: Day 100, late morning and into the afternoon

[ Boy yesterday sure was eventful, huh? What better way to relieve all that stress than by venting your frustrations on some video games? That's the idea some members of Wild City have had.

That, and earning points, because as soon Talon and Coyote step inside, one of them is hitting the live button, and Talon kicks things off with a challenge directed at...anyone listening, apparently. ]

Do any of you think you're actually good at these games?

[ Coyote crosses her arms, tips her head to the side, and gives a wolfish grin before chiming in: ]

Listen up, idols! We’re having throw down no mercy fight to the digital death! If you can’t take on our skills, just stay home under the covers sucking your thumbs.

[ Talon flashes a sharp-edged grin, over-confident as ever as he interjects again. ]

If you think you can beat us, then get down here and prove it.

Just for enjoying myself?

[eatsthecanary]

For admitting it.

[iamverybadass]

...It is fine if Wild City knows it.

[eatsthecanary]

But not other people ... ?

[iamverybadass]

I don't want them to think I'm just a child.

[eatsthecanary]

Adults have fun too.

[iamverybadass]

Do you think people outside of Wild City look at me and think anything other than "little kid"?

[eatsthecanary]

[ bluntly; ]

No.

But plenty of adults here act like children too. So I think it's okay to let people know when you're enjoying yourself.

[iamverybadass]

... Maybe.

[eatsthecanary]

... I knew a girl around your age that people respected as if she were an adult. It's not impossible.

[iamverybadass]

...What was she like?

[eatsthecanary]

Smart, resourceful. Stern but still caring.

[iamverybadass]

She sounds like a good person.

[eatsthecanary]

She was a better person than most of the people I knew from back home.

[iamverybadass]

Perhaps that's why people respected her so well.

[eatsthecanary]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[iamverybadass]

I don't think I can be that nice... That's Silver's talent, not mine.

[eatsthecanary]

You don't have to be nice to care about people.

[iamverybadass]

I agree, but people notice it more easily when someone is nice.

[eatsthecanary]

She wasn't the nicest person around either. Like I said, she was stern.
