Fucking hell...

[murdoc_nicalls]

Shit. I haven't been in a fight like that in a while. I feel like hell, but my money says Otto's fat ass feels worse. Who won, anyway? Depending, I need to know how much of a cut I should be getting off Noodle. Clever little bitch.

It was a tie. Both of ya passed out, so nobody won a bet, since nobody bet on a tie. Noodle keeps all th' cash, unless you can talk her out of even 10 percent of...

Hol' up, need to count fer a sec...

...6 thousand and 6 hundred and twenty dollars. She's gonna be possessive of every last dime of that, mate. Can't say I blame her.

I'm goin' black to sleep. After how much you got fucked up, I suggest you do th' same.

You two buddies now? Get yer fuzzy ass in 'ere and get me some tea.

[kangaroochamp]

Yes'm.

[murdoc_nicalls]

Jesus whore-humping Christ, I knew we had serious infestations in the studios, but talking roos are a new one. Suppose I'll let this slide as payback for yer generosity, but don't make a habit of sleeping here, eh? I'll have to boot you off property for squatting.

*sadly, this is Murdoc's attempt at civil*

[tanky_tg]

Been tenderized for me, eh?
Come to mama.

[murdoc_nicalls]

Got an eye nearly blacked, my lip split, ears a bit the worse for wear and I think the bastard broke my nose. Though it's getting so I can hardly tell anymore. Had some ribs cracked, I think, but that seems to have been taken care of. Just a bit tender.
Not nearly your calibur of work, love, but if you'd like to play nurse I'm game.

[tanky_tg]

Poor old thing.
If nurse means poking me finger in the bleedin parts I'll show fer it.

[murdoc_nicalls]

I figured that's about how you'd handle the job. Such a nurturer, you are.
Lucky I don't go for that cooing, coddling nonsense.

Noodle's going to enjoy this. Because she's willing to play dirty, and tell Murdoc that he isn't getting a cut. Mostly because he still feels like crap, and Noodle is in top form!

"Murdoc lose. Tubby man lose too."

[murdoc_nicalls]

Oh good. A self-satisfied dwarf has come round to rub Murdoc's nose in it, as it were.
"Look, luv, unless a third party showed up and trashed us both, we can't have both lost. Tha's not whot a tie means." Unless Murdoc is uninvolved. Then that is exactly what a tie means. He's trying to quiet that part of his brain right now.
"Now, let's see some of whot you made off me, eh? I'm not one t'be exploited and not get part of the profit."

[axeprincess]

"Murdoc know he would call it losing too. Unless you both win? If you both win, Kong lose money to cover bets. You both lose, money stay with me."

There's a defiant little jut to her chin there as she proclaims it. She made the bets, she got the money, she's the sneaky little girl that gets to keep the money!

And no, she's not quite stupid enough to show the money to Murdoc - unless there were many walls in the way.

[murdoc_nicalls]

"Orright. Yeah, ties are a shit way for anything to end. Don' think it's not ruinin' my day as well. Still, if I didn't fight you wouldn' have made a goddamn dime. Besides, yer not old enough to run business on yer own. You need an adult t'handle yer finances."
She's certainly a defiant little sprog. It's times like this that make Murdoc wonder how much influence he really has over the tiny guitarist. Most of the time he doesn't think of the rest of the band's treatment of Noodle as raising the girl, but someone has to be, right? At least she'll be hard and sharp as a ten penny nail when she grows up. With a Niccals to help raise her, that's about guaranteed.
At the moment, though, the similarity in attitude is annoying.
