[There're a table and some chairs set up outside of the front entrance. Hurricane and Nemesis are seated there like those kids looking for passers-by to sign their petitions or sponsor animals. A modest sign in front says "Free Cheer"]

Buttpats! Get'cher buttpats here!

Pep talks, dude, don't give people the wrong idea.

It's not for us to say what motivates people. I mean, in this case it kind of literally is, but whatever.

Anyway, stop on by and gimme a couple of words. Whatever you pick, I’ll do the whole motivational speech thing about it.

And I swear to help out, or if there's something else you need, I guess. Either way, points.

Why don't you just tell me what you feel is most genuine? And in return, I'll tell you what I think of you.

[unbr8kable]

[but genuine is so much harder! she frowns, starting out slow]

Uh, you don't have to say anything about me, it's my live. ...But I guess that's kinda how you do. Even when people aren't obviously in trouble, you're up to help or do something thoughtful. It's probably why everyone wants you to step on them, even when they don't necessarily agree with you 100 percent. But you should also remember to take care of yourself, and be ready to tell more people to fuck off. I mean, I don't believe in cursing every minute, but it can be really satisfying in the right circumstance, so I know you can work it out. So--yeah, go on and keep pissing people off, but not so much that you forget about self-care, I guess.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She can't help but laugh? ]

And that's exactly what I like about you. You're not at all afraid to tell someone what you think, good or bad, full tilt. I don't know if it qualifies as "self-care" or not, but I think living that honestly must be really refreshing. Your softer side has value, as well, though--you might not show it, but I suspect you care a lot as well. I think you'd be even more powerful for being able to embrace and express those feelings verbally, too.

[unbr8kable]

Ah-- Uh, thanks, I guess.

[casts for something to say; she apparently hasn't gotten that verbal feelings power just yet]

--So, uh, anyway, that work? For getting pumped up and all.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Yes! I feel much more pumped up now. Thank you, Nemesis.

[unbr8kable]

H-hey, all in a day's work, right? If you're feeling better, that's what I'm here for.

[dragonheartedgirl]

You did a good job!

[unbr8kable]

Hahh... Thanks.

[scratches the back of her head]

--Uh, anyway, everything else going okay? Things calming down some?

[dragonheartedgirl]

I think so. There's still a few people I need to talk to, but it seems like... largely, bridges are going to be mended.

[unbr8kable]

That's good. I mean, there was so much going on, you kinda had to just call it all a wash in the end.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I can't say I disagree with you there. ... I worried, though, that there would be greater lingering feelings of resentment and blame after the game that came before that, but...

[ shrugs ]

[unbr8kable]

I think so many of you guys ended up getting getting possessed and going nuts there wasn’t much room to get too angry over it.
