[ Rule 08 ] [ Voice // English ]

[ilikesoap]

[The comm comes to life with a gentle click. Tyler's voice is strangely calm.]

Question of the day...

If you could fight anyone on this boat, excluding of course our amazing Captain, who would you fight?

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. Say the first name that comes to mind.

[He's curious to see who responds and who doesn't.]

And, since I'm

[Kevas chuckles.]

Joo just be beggin' to start some shit ain't jah mon?

[ilikesoap]

Why Kevas, I don't know what you mean.

[Innocent tone is oh so innocent. Tyler laughs.]

I'm just curious. What's your answer?

[pimp_hat]

Of course jah don't.

[Right. As innocent as a newborn babe.]

Guess I don't have an answah. Like to t'ink of myself as a lovah, not a fightah.

[ilikesoap]

Hey, I love a good fight. Does that make me both?

And true, you don't have to answer, but where's the fun in that?

[talkback_stein]

Do they have to be on the boat?

['Cause otherwise, he can name a few...]

[ilikesoap]

[Now that is interesting.]

I figured since the boat is our cosy little home now it'd be a good place to start. But sure man, branch out.

[talkback_stein]

[There are so many.]

I think I'd fiiight... my "uncle".

[ilikesoap]

Story time.

Mind if I ask why?

[electroniccrane]

"Could" fight?

[Kusanagi's fluent enough in English to pick up the (to her mind) oddness of Tyler's phrasing. There's never been a shortage of violence in her life.]

[ilikesoap]

Yeah.

[Oh how you make him smile.]

Anyone at all?

[electroniccrane]

[She and Batou wreck the gym (among other areas of the ship) sparring every couple of weeks. Does that count?]

You seem to be implying that there's some reason we can't.

[Redd's idiotic "punishments" aren't going to stop her from going after someone if she decides they need a beatin'.

Now that she's strung together a longer sentence, her slight but noticeable Japanese accent becomes apparent.]

[ilikesoap]

Ask around. Most people are too damn chicken shit to even consider stepping too close to the line.

[Her accent is heard and noted. Most women would be toyed with until he got bored and went back to the 'man talk'. However, this one seems to get what he's really asking more than the others. At least to a degree.]

[lilyground]

Wade Wilson.

[Pause.]

But he left anyway.

[ilikesoap]

[Lily makes Uncle Tyler so proud.]

Why's that kiddo?

[lilyground]

He kidnapped me once but I broke him.

[electroniccrane]

[Kusanagi chuckles. That was great.]

[ntjstapwn]

...Why ask something like that?

[ilikesoap]

Why not?

[ntjstapwn]

A question like that certainly has more thought behind it than 'why not?'

[ilikesoap]

I asked a question, you answered with a question, so I questioned your question.

Am I sensing a trend here?

And yes, you could say there's a bit of thought involved.
