dwbi just get the same tattoos as me, im sure nobody will notice

[ he's kidding, of course. ]

lets see... i suppose if i were provoked into it, then it would probably be because the other person wanted to pull some sneaky shit on me like blackmail
im not about that, come at me directly or leave me alone -_-

[nintendog]

That was DEFINITELY the biggest difference, you're right. Let's get matching tattoos. I don't know if I could pull off short hair though..

( she likes her hair.. )

In that case, I could kind of agree with that. If someone would stoop that low, then I see that as fair game.

Does that happen a lot?

[outplayed]

no problem, i will generously grow my hair out for you

[ and it would be an improvement over his birdtail look... sniffles... ]

honestly speaking, no
you will note that i am quite good at toeing the line without slamming my foot across it, yeah? its been a long time since i did anything that could really get me in trouble with others...

[ though he does, uh, admit that he's done things that would get him in trouble. ]

[nintendog]

Your magnanimity has not gone unnoticed.

( just commit and grow it out already... )

Yes, you get on my nerves often and I haven't shut you up yet so that's something, I guess.

( I GUESS!! )

But you get my point now, right.

[outplayed]

teehee
because im so likeable and charming, right?

[ toeing the line yet again— ]

your point... what, that you think i should play things a little safer?
its not as if i dont see the merit in what youre saying, but i like how things are right now just fine

[nintendog]

Nevermind. I take it back.

( can't let this man have an INCH before he runs with it. )

No, that your concerns should be more about how you might get punched in the teeth before anyone even thinks about eating habits.

[outplayed]

what? you can say nice things about me, and ill say nice things about you in return 🥺

[ but yeah. true! it's his job to steal the ball and run off with it, after all. ]

and what im saying is that simply isnt going to happen... but even if it did, im not scared of the possibility
would YOU be?

[nintendog]

It gets to your head worse than mine!

( ... ... ... )

You're a ( dick. but she isn't so crude. she's a lady. ) lot. But I wouldn't still be talking to you if I didn't respect at least some part of your work ethic when it's time for it.

And you have your moments. At the risk of embarrassing us both I think I'll refrain from being specific.

( she's a simple lass with simple motivations. :/ he better not wuss out. )

Well, no. Of course not. The likelihood that someone can manage that is pretty slim. And besides? Why would they want to? I don't actively pick fights with people.

( ............. unless provoked. which isn't hard. )

[outplayed]

you know what, thats right... i think we can leave things there
you know, overall i have quite a positive impression of you, so dont go thinking that im being meanspirited, mmkay? you would know if i were being meanspirited
and dont go letting yourself get teased this easily by others either 🥺

[ "i'll leave things at that" *doesn't leave things at that* ]

and, see? im in the same scenario
given the people that im around most of the time, the likelihood anybody can manage to successfully pick a fight with me is slim. well, im not arrogant enough to say that would be the same if i went to different parts of the world, but...

[ he finds his current environment something like a fenced garden; most people were raised inside of the fence, but he came from outside. so why would he ever think anything around him now is a threat? ]

[nintendog]

I am NOT easy to tease!
And if I thought you were truly being meanspirited I know where the block button is and how to use it.

( he's so good at doing as he says isn't he. )

I see..

( not the feral wildcat bullying the domesticated kitties. )

But I'm sure even the sheltered can figure it out if pushed enough.
Like, obviously that's none of my business, but.. it doesn't hurt to get a reminder that cornered animals bite.

[outplayed]

you arent?
but i think youre certainly not difficult to tease 🥺 must be because im me 🥺

[ bullying? never. he just plays with them... with his sincerest affections! ]

and if they do bite, then good for them, i wont complain about it
they still wont be anything id ever consider a personal threat, plus i get the satisfaction of knowing their instincts arent dead yet

[nintendog]

( that's because..... she is. (the crowd gasps) )

Shut up!

( that'll show him. )

You're an odd man. We all have our thing, I guess.

( spoken like a girl that deeefinitely doesn't immediately pick fights with a certain subsection of the population. )

Masochism aside, since you seem confident enough, you're welcome to a round with me if you want. I'm curious anyway.

I won't use the swords, obviously, but that doesn't mean I'm helpless without them!

[outplayed]

now i admit that im willing to tolerate a questionable amount for the sake of getting what i want, but im not really about getting my shit wrecked for the sake of it, okay?
youd wipe me, that much is pretty much self-evident

[ he's a realist before he is a masochist, apparently... ]

or, what, would you enjoy that? hmm......

[nintendog]

Just what do you take me for!! I'm not some kind of bully!

( she might have a mouth to her but she doesn't pick on people like that!!! )

I just wanted to make sure you don't have habits that'd get you hurt if you actually had to defend yourself, that's all!

[outplayed]

oh, what, like if i have any bad habits in a fight?
i wouldnt know, its not like i ever was taught...
but i do play a contact sport, after all. they train us how to fall properly and take tackles or a misplaced elbow, stuff like that
is that what you mean?

[nintendog]

Hm.. Sort of, yeah. In the end, they all rely on similar concepts, so you're probably okay.

I figured if I get a call from you saying you landed yourself in a hospital somewhere and it could've been avoided with some basics that'd be kind of negligent of me.

[outplayed]

you feed me and look after my health... im like your pet... do you want to schedule a vet appointment for me next?

[ he can't just say he appreciates the sentiment or something!! ]

[nintendog]

( what, to get him fixed? maybe he does need a vet visit. )

You know what? Nevermind. I HOPE they punch you. Maybe I'll teach them instead.

[outplayed]

[ please... not the little emperor... ]

and then youll nurse me back to health after? 🥺

[nintendog]

( THE LITTLE EMPEROR..... just for that it has to go )

Why, don't think the veterinarian can handle that part?

[outplayed]

youre assuming that i will behave for the vet but you should know that i will not
so no, i dont think the vet can handle it
i dont want somebody who is paid to do it :/ i want somebody who treats me out of the care from their heart :/ :/

[nintendog]

Don't kick up a fuss with people who haven't done anything to you!

And I don't think good intention and care is enough to fix a broken nose. I'm a swordsman, not a medical professional. At a certain point I have to call someone in and I can't have you biting them over it.

[outplayed]

well, i wont get my nose broken, so this is all just a thought experiment at the end of the day
and in that thought experiment, you should put aside realism and nurse me back to health from the care in your heart!

[nintendog]

It was just an example, and felt like the most logical choice because even I kind of want to punch you in the face sometimes. Like now.

( she doesn't want to say she'd take care of his ass because what if he then just goes and gets in trouble on purpose for it???? )

[outplayed]

aw
but you wont, right? 🥺
look at my face. its so adorable!

[ no shame in this white boy... ]
