lmfao wtf? karate though, that sounds cool

[hashbrown_it]

What, was it too much? I didn't think it was that bad.

It sounds cool, because it is cool and you're in luck because Eagle Fang is looking for our next female champion. It could be you. You're under 18 right?

[maragiidyne]

lol it’s ok, that passion was impressive!

Uhhhhhh I’m 17?

[hashbrown_it]

Alright, cool. It did get everyone's attention.

[The numbers don't lie]

Then it sounds like I'm talking to the next All Valley Girl's champion. Sure, it'll be tight but with some intensive training, you'll be ready.

[Johnny, she hasn't said yes- yet]

[maragiidyne]

that fair I guess!

A champion? Weeeell… that sounds fun! I’m not super good with, like, hand to hand though…? Can I use a whip?

[hashbrown_it]

You don't sound entirely convinced. Oh, I know. There are a lot of hot guys in Eagle Fang and you'll get to see them everyday, working out right beside you.

[There's a little delay, and much fumbling with how to send photos over this... whatever it is. Eventually, this picture appears.]

How about that? Nice, huh?

[You can almost hear Johnny sucking in a sharp breath at her question]

If it were up to me you could... but naw. The tournament has rules. Pretty sure there's no whips in karate.

.. I'll doublecheck.

Wait. Why do you know how to use a whip?

[maragiidyne]

hot guys? isn’t that like suuuper sketchy and kind of like definitely using their bodies to lure in girls or something…

( asdfghjkl why does he have a picture of some ( hot ) dude on his phone!?!

… fair play though, the guy is a cutie. )

wtf where’d that pic even come from…

…uhhhhh

( why does she know how to use a whip… weeeeell… )

…girl power?

sooo he’s on your team? can I have *his* number to talk to about this junk?

( …maybe warn him some old dude has his photo on his phone… )

[hashbrown_it]

What, no? Nothing sketchy about it... or are you into chicks instead? Either way, it's no big deal. Eagle Fang is inclusive about all that shit.

[Can't you sense his sincerity from his respectful terminology?]

That's Miguel Diaz, he'd the first student I ever taught, and an All Valley champion himself.

[Then there's the matter about the whole whip thing]

Look, whatever you do on your own time is your own business. Just don't drag my students or the dojo into it.

See. I knew it. Asking for his number already. I'm sorry but if you want that, you're going to have to sign up first. I can't have my current champion too distracted by the next one.

[maragiidyne]

i’m not into girls but it’s cool that you’re inclusive. maybe try not calling them “chicks” though…

i mean… he’s definitely a cutie but it’s weird that you’re like pimping him out or whatever? does he know you just send his bod out to randos…?

HEY, what is with the judgement! i just happen to be hella amazing at the whip okay! stop making it sound shitty!

[hashbrown_it]

You're right. Young women, not chicks.

[He'll say almost anything to get some chicks into his dojo]

Or do chicks prefer being called babes these days?

[Learned nothing]

Uh, yeeaaah. Of course he knows. He was there recruiting with me. Or, at least I think he knows.

Ah. shit.

[Maybe Johnny should check about the whole sending photos thing]

Hey, hey, hey. Did I say anything about your whole whip fetish thing? No. I'm not the one that brought it up in the first place.

[maragiidyne]

… stick to young women, eesh.

wooooow
maybe just double check so he isn’t shocked when a bunch of randos run up to him cause the weird old dude handed out his hot bod pic sheesh

UGH YEAH CAUSE I’M BAD AT HAND TO HAND. i thought ninja people or whatever used weapons sometimes but man, nvm this is such crap. find another girl to mold into a champion it’s soooo gross that you’re even mentioning fetishes to a student (╥﹏╥)

[hashbrown_it]

[Modernizing is hard, ok?]

Right, I might do that. Say... where is Miguel anyway. [And where am I?]

You just need the right training, to strengthen those muscles. There are weapons, sure, and we'll need those in the competition. [They added a whole section for skills..] You're quitting? Already?! [Johnny, she never signed up in the first place] Ok, so maybe we got off on the wrong foot but give it a chance. If you aren't hooked in one lesson then you can quit.

[maragiidyne]

( try even harder, gdi. )

dude what, shouldn't you, like, know that!?

wait, so you *do* get to use weapons? just not a whip, huh... that sucks. ( she's huffing at her phone! ) i never joined, damnit! a *free* first lesson and we'll talk.

( negotiation skills are totally her forte ( not. ) )

[hashbrown_it]

[Hold on, he might need a couple of budlight banquets for this...]

It's not like I keep tabs on him 24/7. That wouldn't be creepy or weird or anything.

Not like.. against other kids. [Man, this chick is bloodthirsty] .. but yeah. There's a section for weapons in the tournament. Hey if this was about using skills you already know, then it wouldn't be much of a course would it? [She is not making it easy on him, at all] Free, are you nuts? [After a few moments, he relents]

Ok, fine. Just don't tell anyone else about it. I'm not running a charity here.

[maragiidyne]

wait, so he's not like your kid or something!?

oh, well, that's okay too i guess. ( bitch, shut up. you dunno her, you can't judge her -- she does what she wants. /z-snap. ) uhhhhh... i guess that's true enough, yeah. yeah okay, don't ever fucking call me nuts, bud. ( touching a nerve there. tends to happen when people don't believe you when attempting to get help for certain life issues...

does this guy not realize everyone can see this... oh well. ) yeaaaah, i won't tell anyone. promise.

[hashbrown_it]

No, he's not my kid. Well.. at least not yet.... how did you get that impression?

Yeah, I don't get it but it's their rules, not mine [Look, as long as you come to practice, dutifully, on time.. with money in your hand, it's cool. Do whatever] Is that anyway to talk to your sensei? Er.. potential sensei? [Kids these days.. was he ever such a disagreeable asshole? The answer is yes]

[He sure doesn't. Not at all] Awesome.

[maragiidyne]

i mean, i guess it was the benefit of the doubt??? better that he be your kid than you just have rando pics of some rando guy on your phone buuuuut...

rules can be real sucky sometimes but, eh, i can follow 'em. ( well, she can do that, at least. ) my "potential sensei" can get wrecked if he ever calls me nuts again. if i have one more grown ass adult tell me i'm crazy, i'm going to show them what crazy can be.
