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.

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

[nishizono]

you're a hundred percent serious about protecting the earth from humans while stabbing humans

the jokes write themselves, man

[justbeingknife]

Hey, I only stab 'em if they deserve it.

[ """""""""deserve"""""""""" ]

Besides, it ain't protecting the Earth from humans. Its humans who should be better about takin' care of what's around them.

[nishizono]

i like how we're using the word "deserve" very loosely. i too only stab the deserving. and the undeserving, because i'm actually a free agent of anarchy.

just kidding. about the anarchy.

people are dumb, though.

[justbeingknife]

Ha! You're such a brat.

[ was that positive or negative ]

Yer right about people, though. The guys in my old family, they were all morons.

[ he loved them ]

[nishizono]

[ he'll take it as a positive, thank you. ]

how did you manage to stick with them if they're morons? you don't seem like the kinda guy who puts up with bullshit by much.

[justbeingknife]

Hell, no one expects punks to be geniuses -- doin' stupid shit's practically part of the job description. Long as they mind their manners and do their job, no one's gonna complain.

Plus they were hilarious.

[nishizono]

that's probably the most backhanded compliment i've ever heard for morons, i like it.

but yeah, they're hilarious. especially when they fuck things up for themselves.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, and it's kinda relaxing to keep things simple.

When that type's got some problem with ya, he'll come at ya with his fists. Then you can just beat on him 'til you're both cool.
