Ow and like ow.

Okay, so somebody remind me that the thing I shouldn't do after sparring with Logan and having my entire ass handed to me in a lunchbag is to help people move their stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's my job and that's why they pay me. What I'm saying here is that if you're still on the list of people who need their stuff moved, be like, patient because I have about thirty-two thousand bruises.

I dunno who invented Tiger Balm, I think it was some old asian dude about ten thousand years ago, but I don't care if the stuff smells holy CRAP bad, it helps. Do they have a company? Can I like, invest in it? Would that make me money? How does that investing thing work anyway?

You did pretty good, all-in. Got some nice (if cheap) tags in, took your licks without complaining, and probably learned something from it.

You're tall and fast and got some strength on you. Having said that, someone gets up inside your range and it's like you're not sure what to do.

Part of that's probably not wantin' to really cut loose, part of it might be ignorance. Dunno. Feel like explainin' it?

Either way, it's fixable.

I learned that I still have that goddamn problem with looking right and getting tagged left. Man, this is one UGLY shiner. I like how I can see where each knuckle hit me. That's like, art.

Hey, didn't I hear how you were the art teacher for a while? Bobby told me that. See, I told you I'd get revenge, Drake.

Uh, you know that thing where someone gives you two options but it's both so you answer yes? It's that. I mean, okay, I know in my head that I can go full throttle with you, but the last time I had to do that I lost like three feet of intestine I had to grow back and broke my damn leg so, yes, there's you know, that. Also, seriously, I don't know what the hell that thing with the foot trap is, but you and Garrison both do it and it's REALLY pissing me off that I can't figure out how to get out of it.

Wish I could've seen that. Not in a 'haha, you got your ass kicked' sort of way. But in a 'would've been a neat fight to watch' sort of way.

I'm so not surprised you really have bruises. Don't worry, I promise Jane and I will break nothing tonight.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Oh, we got it on tape. Helps with reviewing exactly what I'm doing wrong besides the stuff I know about.

Dude, I went in expecting bruises. I mean, I wasn't expecting like, a shiner like, okay you gotta see this thing, but yeah.

[x-scorpion.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I'll have to watch it then.

Well, I figured that... but I want to see this bruise you're sporting. I generally carry mine all week and then some.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

You've got about a day and a half before it goes away. Less if you wanna see it in it's current colors and not in baby poop green.

[x-scorpion.livejournal.com]

I will totally be right over. Any food requests for the conquering, albeit bruised, hero?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, there was no conquering, except for I got a couple of fast ones off on Logan early. But, I'm not gonna say no to pizza - and there's a ziploc of fuzzy green pepperoni slices I was about to go dump in your box in the walk-in anyway.

The foot-trap is a Judd Special. Heal up and I'll show it to you nice and slow. The midget likes his damned traps.

I'd think you'd like an opportunity where you can find out what you can do when you let go safely. I'll even promise not to gut ya. You got promise, kid. Team could use some more tough bastards who can take some hurt so that other people who don't heal don't have to.

You follow me?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

So what you're saying is that a little tough guy used that on you, because you're taller than him, and so now, you're using it on me because you're taller than me. -Fuck- Canada. I gotta learn how to do that.

Yeah, but lemee wait until the semester ends before I go risking like, needing stitches somewhere it'll show. Explaining this shiner's gonna be FUN tomorrow.

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Your choice.

Usually, 'bout this time, if Gar and I scrapped I'd go buy the man a beer. You're not a drinkin' man, so whaddya say to dinner?

Fish or dead cow, your call, my treat.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, half my classmates think I'm like some kind of cage fighter or something. Which is fun seeing as I'm taking an ECE class.

Man, that's a hard choice. I mean, on one hand, fish. On the other hand, steak. Except Cammie's getting me a pizza so I think that counts as red meat so I'll go with fish.

And like 17 months until I can drink all legal and stuff. And until then I am gonna be a law-abiding Gibney because JAIL SUCKS A BIG SUCK.

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Weren't you wrapped up in some kinda underground fight-club bullshit a while back?

Sushi it is. Know a good place.

You come of-age, we'll get you so plastered you won't know what hit you.

Figure you've earned it.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but my classmates don't need to know that. Also I still owe Toad for breaking my jaw that time. Got him good for the second time though.

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Kinda math I can get behind.

[x-scorpion.livejournal.com]

Pizza is on it's way and so am I. I'm bringing a camera for the bruise. Next really bad one I get, you can have a picture of too.

[x-dryad.livejournal.com]

They make lavender scented Tiger Balm.


Oh and thank you. I left a present for you. Hopefully Val didn't get into it.

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Some other stuff:

You're strong-side dominant. Most people are, but you can train yourself out of that habit.

You've got pretty good speed. Could be better, but you're better than most.

You're tenative. That's gonna get you killed someday. I get that you don't wanna hurt anyone more badly than you gotta, but kid, you gotta work on when to bring it and when to hold it back more.

And yeah, I know that this is a crock of shit coming from me. Didn't say you should set the line where I set it.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, are you like, sitting around reviewing the tape or something? I mean, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just sort of curious.

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Beer, smoke, and watchin' tape.

It's a way to pass an evening.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Nope. I mean, she asked what it was, and I shared some cause hey, carob-hazelnut, but she's good about not getting into my stuff. This stuff is good on waffles. Also bagels. Also those wacky english crump things.
