Option A:
Uh.
Don't panic: possible livestock emergency.

One of the locals told me she left a hen on my porch. Guess what? Porch, no chicken.
So, you know.

If seen, do not engage. Report all chicken- and chicken-related activity.

[ ooc: Network/action, feel free to sight this chicken around town if you like! ]



Option B:
I heard some of you booze hounds were sniffin' around, so lemme save ya the trouble. My name's Majima, and I run the bar. The rules are don't be an asshole.

Here's a map. There's pool and darts. Got some smokes, too, but you better give me a real good reason why I should part with those.

hit me with it then
i don't know what to do

[ he's never had to consider other people like this before ]

[justbeingknife]

I think it's better to go out with someone that's at least a little different from ya. That way you both learn from each other, expand yer horizons a little. Might end up discoverin' something you wouldn't have, otherwise.

You stick with someone just like ya, it can get too easy to never change, and get caught in a rut.

Whoever ya pick, though, you gotta treat 'em right. Ask 'em out straight, and don't pussyfoot around. If she thinks you're askin' her out as friends, and she finds out the truth later, it's just gonna be awkward.

you're smarter than you let people think you are
i kinda hate it

but you're right
i should make a call at some point
i really like them both and i don't want to fuck up and have them both be mad at me

haha i don't know who i am anymore

[ Of all the people he'd met in Reims, Tetora was somehow both the most and least likely person from whom Majima had expected to hear that particular sentiment -- namely because Tetora struck him early on as someone who was more than he seemed.

The impulsiveness, the aggression... those were part of Tetora, no doubt. But if he was just some ordinary dumbshit teenager, there was no way he'd have survived as long as he had. Psychosis or no. ]

Yeah. That makes sense.

It's your first time datin', though. You're gonna make mistakes, and probably one or both of them is gonna get mad at ya at some point. That part's normal.

So don't be so damn hard on yourself. As long as you're honest and treat 'em like people, I think that's all anyone can really ask.

No one can stay the same person forever.

you make it sound more romantic than things should be
or

well i guess it is romance in some way, huh

[ tetora's never been one for talking his feelings out. he's more into fighting it out, or shouting it out, or just pretending it's not there because when have feelings ever helped him out when he needed them? anger's been the only one that helped, but everything else - they're too much effort.

this is why he marvels at majima. they're alike, but they're not alike. majima understands people and he understands knives - how did he do it?

tetora wants to peel him apart, figure it out. ]

[justbeingknife]

Sure is.

[ At least Tetora wouldn't be the first one who wanted to peel Majima apart, literally or figuratively. At this point, he was so used to people trying to kill him that it was hard to even take it personally.

Well. Unless they were a real bastard about it. ]

Hope it works out. Be nice to have some good news around here for once.

and wrap?

[nishizono]

let's hope i get good news out of this too
wish me luck
