yeah, all right, i'm new here. please send your welcome wagon baskets of cookies to my room. i'm hungry.

( but that wasn't the reason he was putting himself out there now. he didn't really want to talk to this lot but seems like that was gonna have to be something he does.

so, he's making it happen. )

what i'm gettin from this place is that i can't go back to where i was, this place is in fuckin' space and those are actual fuckin' stars out there, and you lot like to get fucked up drunk sometimes.

( yes, he'd seen that post of yours, newton. seen it and he was going to remember it for the rest of his life. )

so, since you lot are so ready to offer up advice, i got two things:

one, where can i get a fuckin' good drink?
two, where can i punch the shit out of something? or someone. volunteers? i'm definitely taking volunteers. come on, everyone's so helpful here, right?

I don't tap.

( so, someone's either going to have to knock him out or kill him before they get the one up on him. he's not going to call uncle. )

But I appreciate the lack of arm breaking. Kind of need them.

...You know this isn't some street brawl, right?

[Daisy shakes out her wrists, keeping her distance for now.]

[cheapbastard]

( billy just rolls his eyes. )

You always jump to conclusions? I'm not gonna grab a fuckin' tire iron and brain you with it. Calm down. It was just a statement of fact.

( duh and all. )

[morethan084]

Right, well, I do tap.

[So he better not break her face with tire iron!

Daisy steps forward again quickly in attempt to grapple him.]

[cheapbastard]

Congratulations.

( he's not really going to try and make her call mercy though. he's more of the 'knock you the fuck out' type so when she steps forward, he grabs at one of her shoulders to keep himself upright and then swings his elbow at her face. )

[morethan084]

[His elbow gets her right in the nose, and Daisy stumbles backwards while grabbing it. It doesn't feel broken at least but it's definitely bleeding, pulling her hand away to confirm that there's blood she then looks up at Billy.

Now she's pissed.

She moves forward again, aiming to kick him square in the gut.]

[cheapbastard]

( oops, guess that hit a nerve? he'd been pretty sure that wouldn't actually connect but looks like he'd been wrong. he starts to say something but, before he can, she kicks him and he stumbles backwards, grunting. )

The fuck you throwin' a tantrum for? Can't help it if your nose is weak.

( because it was clearly her fault. )

[morethan084]

[Wiping the blood off of her nose with the back of her hand, Daisy keeps some distance between them instead of just going for another blow.]

You think that's a tantrum?

[She could've gone for his balls if she wanted to throw a 'tantrum'.]

[cheapbastard]

Wait wait wait —

( he holds up his hands and then fixes her with a look. )

You can put me in a headlock like you wanna break my fuckin' arm but I can't retaliate? The fuck kind of rules you got here?

[morethan084]

What are you ta--?

[Daisy lowers her hands when he put his hands up, looking around in confusion before her eyes land back on him.]

I never said you couldn't retaliate.

[cheapbastard]

You're getting all pissed off about what I just did, ain't ya?

( because that's what it looks like to billy. )

[morethan084]

Like the way you got pissed that I almost broke your arm?

[She assumes that's why he went for her nose anyway.]

Look, I'm just here to spar. Not end up back in the infirmary. Not my plan to put you there either.

[cheapbastard]

Not my fault you've got a weak nose.

( he shrugs and shakes his arm out. )

And I didn't get pissed. Did you see me throw a tantrum? No, I just defended meself. Like I'm supposed to when I'm fightin' someone.

[morethan084]

[Daisy rolls her eyes, straightening up.]

You know what? Forget it.

[Sparring was a way for her to release tension, now she's even more tense.]

I'm done.

[cheapbastard]

( he's pretty good at making people tense. a talent of his. )

If that's what you want. Might wanna go put something on that nose.

( see how nice he is. )

[morethan084]

[So nice.

Daisy just gives him a look at his suggestion.]

I'll go do that.

[Daisy's not making the mistake of sparring with him again.]
