rumble is PRETTY good but i feel like it has a different energy
fisticuffs is like. you just wanna ruffle some feathers. maybe get a split lip, nothin too bad.
rumble is when you wanna go fucking hog WILD and beat some clown's ass with his own shoes

[gorira]

but isnt there something so intense about that!!!
if i sent you a text at 2 in the morning like "estival wake up theres a rumble going on in front of the 7-11 on 32nd st, its gonna get ugly"

i mean youre in right?
youre hooked
theres no saying no to that

[zweihandler]

extremely bold of you to assume i am not the inciting incident of the 2am 7-11 rumble

[gorira]

the punchline was going to be that i was the cause actually but its nice to know we're on the same page

[zweihandler]

ok but CLEARLY this means the rumble outside 7-11 was so fucking big we didnt spot each other and both figured we started it ourselves. which is honestly possible for either of us cos we're like that

[gorira]

i hate that youre right about that
between the yakuza up my ass and you naturally being the biggest shit stirrer this side of the pacific
its a shock that we dont get into mass fisticuffs every time we go out for late night slurpees

[zweihandler]

you think the sword is puttin them off?

[gorira]

i mean if i didn't know you better i wouldnt wanna mess with you if i could help it
but since i do its a different story

[zweihandler]

oh yeah for sure to anyone else it's like "damn watch out for that crazy bitch with a sword" but you already know my true form as a dipshit jock. takes all the mystique away.

[gorira]

is mystique what we're calling it now
not that i dont get it too
"better not fuck with the mafia girl youll wake up at the bottom of the lake with cinderblocks tied to your feet if you look at her funny"

as though we actually do that in this day and age

[zweihandler]

was that ever actually a thing? or is it some weird mafia urban legend that folks tell to scare little kids at night

[gorira]

its definitely more like
the kind of thing that makes a good scene in a gangster movie
but not really the way anyone actually does things

a lot of that shit is overblown as im sure you can imagine
itd be funny if it wasnt a little scary

[zweihandler]

honestly it always just sounded inconvenient as fuck to me
like if you want some clown dead just shoot his ass
calls for way less prep

[gorira]

of course you of all ppl would say something like that
listen the point isnt to get the job done quickly
youre trying to make a statement right?
mess around with the bee hive and you get stung

like i said though its nowhere near that flashy in real life
usually people pay back their debts without too much fuss
and we're pretty generous when people need more time
times are tough lately

no one really wants to make a mess of things so its pretty rare for some dipshit to take the money and run

[zweihandler]

honestly i feel like gangster movies and shit are doing yall a favor. you basically get a whole bunch of free and also extremely gruesome PR and everyone figures after that it's probably not worth it to fuck around and find out.

[gorira]

its doing my dad a favor
for me growing up it did none
the other kids would be too scared to even like get on my good side let alone try to be friends

[zweihandler]

thank god i'm too rowdy and dumb and gay to know any better and i decided to be friends w you anyway

[gorira]

[ Now, we don't have time to unpack all of that, but-- ]

so what youre saying is if you were straight you would run for the hills??

[zweihandler]

depends
in this hypothetical dark timeline am i any smarter or am i still a dumbass?

[gorira]

in the straight timeline?
just off that i think you're dumb as a brick

[zweihandler]

in that case we're definitely still friends. so long as i'm dumb enough to get past the initial barrier of "this chick could slash would kill me or have me killed" then it's all smooth sailing from there

[gorira]

is it really just that you cant look out for yourself for shit
i mean not that i mind like it worked out in the end but
ugh nvm

[zweihandler]

[ okay erina might be an awful goblin woman but even she can pick up on when she may have tripped over the line into Going Too Far ]

course not you dumbass it's cos youre tough and scrappy and you don't take shit from anybody
i saw that and i was like "shit i like the cut of this girls jib"

[gorira]

[ Ah, that was a bit dumb of her, huh? It's not like she couldn't have figured that, but... ]

just that i was tough huh??
cmon dont be shy
keep laying the praise on me
i know you've got a little more in you than that

[zweihandler]

u rly want me to go the whole hog??? just go absolutely buckwild talking up gay shit???
i'll do it. and you won't have anyone but you to blame.
