so i know the first rule of fight club is not to talk about fight club
but after the shenanigans from a week ago and the devastating loss of drink pushing bears
i gotta say
i am really god damn bored
i am watching my fingernails grow here people
youve gotta fucking help me

if any of you happen to be a badass or something
you should get your bad ass up on the roof and bring your a game
it is on
paradisa
fite me
imma be chilling on the roof above the courtyard if you got the skills to punch the guys who give you the bills

bring it

[ooc: Long story short, Dave is bored and pretty restless. He's looking for someone to practise fighting with but he also wants to scope out the fighting crowd here. If you want to jump right into action that is OK!]

[ This joke would be great! If his dad wasn't kind of dead. ]

Okay, lets stop talking about that, because we both know that is a lie and it's kind of not even funny. Are you gonna fight a bunch of people up here while I watch or what? Because I am gonna be pretty disappointed if I flew all the way up here for nothing!

[shenunigans]

[One of the downsides to having both a terrible memory and a terrible idea of how people emotionally handle things. Dave doesn't really realise he's touching a sensitive subject here.]

Fine. I'm done with it anyway. [He purses his lips a little at the comment, trying not to scowl.] They're probably waiting for you to back off. If you don't want to waste a trip, fight me.

[dupable]

[ Hey, at least Dave isn't leaving him notes like his dad used to. Points for that kind of? John goes to take a seat on the ledge around the castle though, clearly not looking like he's about to fight. ]

What if I just move over here? I am not in the way over here. Now people can fight you all they want!

[shenunigans]

[Not yet, but don't give him any ideas.

Dave watches him take a seat on the ledge, raising an eyebrow at him and tapping his sword on his shoulder impatiently.]

Why don't you just fight me? C'mon. Are you scared? [Let him see the windy thing goddamn.]

[dupable]

[ Dammit, Dave!

He gives Dave a funny look. He's not sure why he's so determined to fight John, but not having a family member that used to drag him up to the roof to kick his ass this all seems like a pretty odd way to bond to him.

Obviously you through pies in people's faces to show them you care. That's normal! ]

Not really, I just don't really see why we should fight. I mean! If you want to fight random guys or whatever I am not to stop you though.

[shenunigans]

[See, John! Dave misses his weird guardian thing too. You insult him by not fighting him! Or something.

Really, he's just being stubborn.]

Because that's the whole reason I did the post. [Ugh.] Whatever. [He gives John a long look before he shrugs dramatically and steps over to John, leaning against the ledge.] Sup?

[dupable]

[ What an insensitive boob John is! Or maybe he just doesn't feel like fighting right now. He does grin when Dave seems to give it up and walks over to just hang out with him. ]

Not much, I was just taking Rock out for a walk earlier.

[ A pause. ]

Hey, have you met him yet?

[shenunigans]

[Maybe he should fake it for his friend! Whatever. Dave just decides he's afraid of losing and stops caring because he's better.]

Please don't tell me you have a pet rock. [A beat.] Please don't tell me you take your pet rock out on walks. [He can see it. Vividly.]

[dupable]

[ Never. John likes to be honest with people. And okay, Dave, you believe that. John will let you believe that. ]

What? No, that's dumb. He's a giant fire dog thing. Well, not really a dog. Kind of a dog? I am not exactly sure what he is.

[shenunigans]

So what you're saying is- you have a pokemon?
[He gives him a confused look, but it's not really apparent thanks to the shades.]
Where did you get a pokemon?

[dupable]

[ He looks oddly impressed here. ]

Yeah! Someone told you about them? Anyway, my friend Rin gave him to me.

[shenunigans]

Uh, no. I thought you were fucking around. Hell, I was fucking around. I'm so fucking jelly it isn't even funny right now.

Hell yes, Egbert. You can show me your pokeymons.

[dupable]

[ Floating about a foot into the air! He's ready to go then and there. ]

Okay! Wait-- do you want me go to get him and come back here so you can keep up your fights or what?

[shenunigans]

[Welp. Dave had almost totally forgotten about that. He shrugs dramatically before moving to sit where John had been.]

Bring him up, maybe he can scare some bitches off.

[dupable]

Sit tight I will be right back.

[ And he sort of falls back over the edge and zooms down the side of the castle back to his room.

Several minutes will pass before the door to the roof bursts open with John riding on the back of a Typhlosion. ]

Dave, meet Rock!

[shenunigans]

Uhuh.

[He sprawls a little once John leaves, reflecting on the deeper meaning of life whilst waiting to be thoroughly disappointed because there's no way John has a pokemon.

...Only he does.


....And it's awesome.

He's so fucking jealous.]

Woah.

[dupable]

[ He's grinning like a complete douchebag too as he floats over Rock's head and lands in front of the pokemon how stands up to his full height. He's a pretty big dude. ]

Pretty cool, right?

[shenunigans]

Yeah.
[Man, John. You are a douche. Dave hates you so fucking much right now. He's wanted a pokemon since he was like. Seven. Shit is so unfair.]

So someone just gave it to you?

[dupable]

[ Life's unfair ;) ]

Yeah, my friend Rin. I guess a friend of hers owned Rock before I showed up here.

[shenunigans]

[John is unfair.]

Do people usually just give away pokemon here?

[dupable]

I don't think so. I think it was just because he got sent home.

[shenunigans]

That's bullshit, how the hell did you luck out so much?

[Just. Staring up at it.] You think two people can take a ride on it? ...No homo. [Please let him on the pokemon, John.]

[dupable]

I have been here for two years! It just sort of happens.

[ Scoffing at his no homo but glancing up at Rock. ]

Is it okay with you?

[ The pokemon turns and stares at Dave for a few seconds before dropping down on all fours. ]

I think that means it's fine!

[shenunigans]

Dang. So I gotta stay here two years to mooch?

[He watches with eager interest as Dave talks JUST LIKE A REAL POKEMON TRAINER god he's so jealous.]

My ten year old self is going to fucking piss himself. [He shuffles over quickly and clambers up.] My Fifteen year old self is fine, though. Just sayin'.

[dupable]

Pretty much!

[ Not that he'd put it that way, but that's not the point.

Also John's making a face at that. Gross! ]

Good, because I am pretty sure Rock wouldn't be okay with this if you were gonna pee all over him.

[ Hopping up after Dave and getting situated before Rock starts walking forward. ]
