Hey. There any language teachers around here?

[ Look, he resisted as long as he could, ok ]

[nishizono]

action movies. the ones with the curse fuckin words, you know? with the fake tech shit too. i watched a ton growing up.

talk to him with your body. that should work.

[justbeingknife]

How the hell you gonna be five years younger than me and still sound like a dirty old man?

[ Asking the real questions here. Majima didn't feel particularly attracted to the blind guy, but he didn't bother lying about how he wasn't into men at all, either. It wasn't like there was anyone from the Tojo around here, anyway.

(Technically speaking.) ]

You sure ya actually know useful shit and not just how to yell 'get to the choppa'?

[nishizono]

i have better sense than to talk like the big old arnold
and besides he barely has any lines in most of the movies he's in

look
when a guy likes another guy
things happen and someone dies tragically

[justbeingknife]

Probably for the best, that guy can't act at all. But yeah, then I figure you'd be a pretty decent teacher. Let's do it.

[ Majima... had not expected this conversation to take any kind of turn? Just figured this was some throwaway joke Tetora was trying to annoy him with. But he wasn't... moving off the subject......

why ]

You speakin' from personal experience?

[nishizono]

[ ...actually. uh. ]

somewhat, yeah. obviously i'm the living party.

he was pretty cool.


anyway so what do you wanna learn first? curse words? greetings? touristy shit?

[justbeingknife]

Touristy shit.

[ and because he was now intolerably curious: ]

What was he like?

[ was he a nice guy. did he also like bombs. what about knifes. there were so many questions here, it was like a whole new world of possibility ]

[nishizono]

[ oh my god uncle jim chill ]

he was a cop. a straight and narrow type but he dresses like a fucking goon with the shaved head and neck chain bullshit. undercover bullshit.

we drove around while getting chased by people who wanted to kill me, it was cool.

okay, first lesson: use contractions because it sounds more natural. "where's" versus "where is".
also it's longer the usual way.

[justbeingknife]

[ Somehow the idea of Tetora going for a cop was the weirdest part of the whole deal. Then again, adrenaline was a hell of a drug... and if he'd been willing to risk his life with Tetora, Majima could see it. Probably. ]

Sounds like he was a good guy.

[ Also, have you seen how this man typed. It was like casual Friday every day of the week. ]

They got dialects, too, don't they?

[nishizono]

[ inuhiko is... was... is? a lot of things, and tetora is not touching his feelings(tm) about it until he's on his deathbed. and even then... nah. ]

he's one of the good ones, yeah. we sucked him dry with the mess we're in, and i'm still not sorry about it.

[ what is this feeling called guilt??? no???????????? ]

they've got. i don't know. accents and shit. english is weird, okay?

[justbeingknife]

[ uhhhhhhh tetora, what was with your choice of words there???? jk probably ]

I'm really starting to worry about these English lessons.

Kinda hard to imagine you with a cop. But I guess it happens.

[nishizono]

[ READ CRITICALLY NOT LITERALLY WOW ]

you have no faith in your fellow man.

my older "brother" was a PI. it's more likely than you'd think it would be.

[justbeingknife]

Well, that don't surprise me. You did say the guy wouldn't even let ya crash at his place.

[ Plenty of PIs with questionable moralities out there (hence the dick in private dick?), though at least the police were ostensibly supposed to be better in that regard. I.e. not forcing their own families to squat in strangers' houses.

It was still kind of weird to think about, though, especially for a career criminal. ]

Anyway, next you're in the neighborhood, drop by and I'll ask ya some questions.

[ aka let's handwave this language learning monstrosity ]

[nishizono]

he's a fucking asshole. and yeah, let me know when you're free and i'll give you some real education.

[ ye ye let's handwave these details, tetora's gonna teach all the english curse words he knows aw yeaaaaaah ]
