the other guy covered this already but i figure, what can it hurt to ask again? where can i can drugs here. anxiety meds, specifically. no, i don't have anxiety, but i can exhibit similar symptoms from time to time. this is life-threatening, i assure you.

second, because i don't think i can get away with just putting up a "don't fuck with me" attitude when touchy-feelies might actually save lives: i'm a touch-based telepath. yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. no, i can't just shut it off. yes, i won't touch you without permission. no, don't touch me unless i touch you first.

jesus motherfucker this is more words than i've written in years. hi, i'm tetora. i like pizza.

Unless you're holding out on me 'bout something, it should be fine.

[ Look this is the guy that invented the Majima Everywhere system, he was fine having dudes come at him ]

Why your heart?

[nishizono]

you mean other than the fact that i was fed a steady diet of drugs from childhood that a million years of rehab won't work on me?

because that's about the gist of things i have hiding under my skull, man.

[ just... you know. in summary. because some things are just too much information, full stop. ]

[justbeingknife]

The fuck?

Yeah, then I'd say we're good. What the hell happened to you, anyway? Sounds like some kinda shady-ass medical experiments.

[nishizono]

got it in one.

[ he'd make the finger gun thing, but that seems a little too flippant for this kind of conversation. have the pg backstory, mister yakuza. ]

i was in the juvenile system back home, got bounced around a few times. it wasn't great.

gave me superpowers though. how's that for an origin story, hah.

[justbeingknife]

I've seen a lotta kids go through that system. There's always crazy rumors and conspiracy theories floatin' around, but I can't say I ever saw any of 'em come out the other side with anything other than permanent psychological damage.

Explains a lot, though. Don't develop a love affair with sharp, pointy things if ya grew up with a normal family.

[ This... also went for Majima, whose canon backstory was vague but probably not very comfortable. ]

[nishizono]

[ shitty childhoods unite!!! wait no. ]

don't hold your breath, i'm not an exception to the stats. if anything, i'm probably firmly in the "yep, poster child" part of the venn diagram. something like that.

pointy things don't fuck you over by being nice to you. they're reliably terrible.

[justbeingknife]

[ By terrible did he mean grEAT ]

That's exactly what I'm talkin' about.

I don't know anything about anxiety medication. But I'm sure that doctor that just posted knows all about it. I can still keep an eye out for pills, if ya want.

[nishizono]

he seems like a lonely dude. you know the kind to jerk off at work because he's desperate for relief from the banal existence of life kinda guy.

anyway.

drugs is drugs, i love drugs. gimme.

[justbeingknife]

Alright, gotcha.

I just hope he doesn't do it when anyone's under the knife.

[ Talk about a captive audience HAHAHA no actually that would be terrible ]

Still can't believe he asked everyone to call him 'Hawkeye'. I hope it wasn't with a straight face.

[nishizono]

i bet he does that exactly, just because you brought it up now.

but seriously what the fuck kind of name is hawkeye?

[justbeingknife]

I dunno, but it's not the kinda name I'd like to hear when I'm about to go under.

Must've gave up takin' over the clinic.

[nishizono]

it doesn't inspire confidence, yeah. what's the opposite of confident? insecure doesn't seem like the right one for this.

[justbeingknife]

Ominous?

[ Oh well, whatever. ]

So ya miss fast food from back home? My last bowl of ramen at a stand is seemin' further and further away.

[nishizono]

i had some ramen before i left. it was disappointing, since it was fast food ramen and that's always bullshit.

[ still, you can't be picky when on the run, and fast food in japan is pretty damn fast. ]

if i knew i was gonna end up here, i'd have given in to pizza cravings sooner. hindsight, ya know?

[justbeingknife]

Suppose so. Now that ya mention it, there was a pizza place back home, right near Iwao Bridge. Never did get to try it before I left. Looked like one of them family restaurants, so I wasn't in a big hurry.

[ The one thing he did know about it was that it apparently had a functioning restroom. RIP Tokokichi. ]

Place near my work had some great cheese takoyaki, though.

[nishizono]

i miss takoyaki. i miss actual ramen. i miss soda and chocolate bars.

[ this conversation is making him really hungry, what the heck. ]

i miss the livehouses i used to sneak into and start shit with.

one of those things just doesn't belong

[justbeingknife]

One of those things ain't like the others.

What I still can't get used to is bein' able to walk from Point A to Point B, and no one tries to start shit. The hell do people fight with around here, texts and passive-aggression?

hey now

[nishizono]

yeah, the ramen's kind of a full meal compared to the others.

and hey, passive-aggression started a world war, don't knock it. that's like... the second world war for you or something.

[justbeingknife]

'Or something'? There's only two of 'em to begin with. Whattaya sayin', they're gonna throw in a couple more of 'em for shits and giggles?

[ If this is more timey-wimey bs, he sWEARS TO GOD ]

[nishizono]

[ he'll be nice and not be a shit for a change. ]

there's only ever been two where i come from, but with the rate people are acting up in my timeline? a third one's about due.

don't worry, you'll probably be dead by then.

[justbeingknife]

[ what great, thanks tetora ]

Even if I ain't gonna be alive for it, don't mean it's good news. That kinda thinking's why the ozone layer's gettin' depleted.

[ majima was an environmentalist yakuza ]

[nishizono]

[ ...what a turn this conversation has taken, wtf ]

i never took you for a "live green live clean" kinda guy. you really think the ozone layer's gonna matter when we're all gone?

[justbeingknife]

What matters is leavin' things a little better than how they were at the the start. No one feels good about having to breathe shitty air or live in a damn trash heap.

[ It's a man's civic duty to separate your burnable trash!! ]

[nishizono]

[ okay, you know what? tetora's not going to hold it. he's gonna laugh into his sleeve, as quietly as he can manage, because this is the most incongruous thing to majima's image that he's ever read. ]

you can't be for real holy shit

[justbeingknife]

[ get used to it tbqh, this is only the tip of the iceberg ]

I'm 100% serious
