[gigadevilbreaker]

I'll just borrow yours.

[Casually, no big. He's got a mean look in his eyes, though.]

[composeur]

[ ... heh. ]

Are you gonna beat me up for it?

[gigadevilbreaker]

You think a little broken bone's gonna stop me...?

[It's more than little! And he's already looking a bit wobbly!]

[composeur]

[ ... huhmmmm ]

If you want a match later I don't mind. I'll fight you all you want after you're better.

But you can't get this sword, no matter how much you try.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[I'm sorry that sOUNDED LIKE A CHALLENGE?! He grimaced - then a split second later, stepped in with surprising speed (at least, for someone in his condition) to try and kick the hilt out of redhead's hand.]

[composeur]

[ -- oh WOOPS!

he jumps back a step, and then

just. throws the sword in the air CAUSE THAT'S SAFE ]

GO CATCH!!

[gigadevilbreaker]

[~A falling knife has no handle~

Except this one totally does. Newbie takes one glance at it as it descends, flexes his prosthetic fingers, and-- snatches it! Clean out of the air.

...it would've worked too, if the blade didn't instantly disappear upon touch. Ruining THE ONE STYLISH THING HE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO DO SINCE ARRIVING! FUCK! HE'S TIRED OF THIS SHIT!]

Motherfucker--! You knew that would happen...!

[composeur]

Wahaha~ I told you didn't I? Now be good, and let the others take care of you alright~?

[aboyandhiscar]

Great idea! [WHERE DID MIKE COME FROM. doesn't matter he's PICKING LEO UP]

Glad you're making friends buuuut how about we give these newbies some breathing room, yeah?

[composeur]

[ SUDDENLY HE'S SO MUCH TALLER!?

eh-? ... ahhHHHH ]

Hey, put me down! I wanted to play some more! With that other one too!! [ KICKKICKS FLAILS ]

Meanie! Bully!! Don't abuse your power just because you're tall! Tyrant!!

[aboyandhiscar]

[holds him outstretched like a he's a bitey terrier]

Knight, not tyrant, yeah? C'mon, cut 'em some slack. That was a pretty slick move you pulled with your sword though. I would have been caught off guard, too. You can break them in some more once they figure out what the heck's going on.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Newbie's just... staring now. At how easily his tormentor was dispatched by the sheer power of tallness.

Then, all his aches and fatigue caught up with him at once. He wobbled where he stood, catching hold of the table for support.]

... Seriously?...

[aboyandhiscar]

[at some point once he's deposited leo somewhere--!]

Hey man! You holding up okay? Uh, no pun intended.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He's good and healed now, but that doesn't mean his mood isn't still sour over being toyed with earlier. And Mike, despite having broken it up, was a fresh reminder of it.

Grumpily,] Just peachy. Got stabbed all better.

[aboyandhiscar]

Heh, join the club. Got stabbed right in the gut on like, my second day. Not a fun time!

But you took it like a champ though, you're made of some tough stuff, man.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Like. He can tell Mike's being nice, but his ego's bruised to the point where praise just feels like pity.]

Whatever... I don't need consolation, all right?

[aboyandhiscar]

[???¿¿¿]

Sure, man. What you probably need is a pick me up--uh, you probably don't remember, but think you're up for a drink? Grabbed some smoothies from the cafe.

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

[It takes a minute for him to weigh his options. 'Keep acting like a petulant ass over being humilitated,' or 'have a smoothie.' That's the thing with bad moods, it was reaaally tempting just to stay mad.

But eventually, he relents with a cranky, begrudging sigh.]

Fine. Sure. Why the hell not.

1/2

[composeur]

TYRANT-- [ wait did he just get praised

...... lowers... arms... a little bit ]

2/2

[composeur]

.... wahaha, wasn't that cool! Wasn't that clever? Even Tenshi fell for it, so it's gotta be! Wasn't the line I said kinda cool too? It was like right out of a movie!!

[aboyandhiscar]

[who the fuck is tenshi, mike doesn't ask. may or may not remember what movies are either]

Heck yeah, it leaves an impression! You really know how to keep folks on their toes, yeah?

[composeur]

Heheh~ I'm a Demon King, so it's only natural right~?

He seemed like he wanted to fight me no matter what so I thought it'd be fine to play a little trick. But I guess he hates me now.

[aboyandhiscar]

Nah, he doesn't hate you. Just has to get to know you, s'all. You guys are all pretty high energy, I think you'll get along pretty darn fine.

[putting him down]

[composeur]

.. hummm. I wonder about that.

[ clearly not buying it, though at least he doesn't seem as upset anymore? maybe. ]

He really looked like he was going to cry earlier. Honest, hard-working guys like him get hurt easily.

[aboyandhiscar]

What makes you say that?
