03: Rules of Fight Club

[tides_of_war]

Even I've got needs, people. Some of them aren't exactly easy to fulfill.

Don't look at me like that especially you, Dite.

So I've set something up at my studio. A few of my students recently told me about a book by some guy...Palahniuk. I thumbed through the first hundred pages or so. Trite, and a little confusing at places, but some of the ideas

I'm not sure this is legal, Ares.

You'll have to count me out anyway. This body is not cut out for that. And an amusing number of men refuse to hit women.

[tides_of_war]

It isn't. I've checked. But it should be fun.

What a pity. I'd love to go a couple rounds with you...

[togivewhatisdue]

And you realise our only lawyer hates you.

... Fine, I'm in.

[tides_of_war]

You say that in a manner best suited to "news," Nem.

Excellent.

[search2destroy]

Rule eight, such a pity.

[togivewhatisdue]

I second that.

[tides_of_war]

Third.

But a necessity, I'm afraid.

[search2destroy]

Well, I prefer my brawls slightly less structured, anyway, so it's not the end of the world.

[dolphinlad]

That sounds interesting! Where is your studio located?

[tides_of_war]

69 South Elliot, Brooklyn. Green steel door.

Thinking of showing?

[dolphinlad]

Maybe.

It's not really as violent as you make it out to be, is it?

[tides_of_war]

...do you know who I am?

There's a good chance of violence, strong language, and perhaps adult situations. Though it's all in good fun.

If you come in, I guarantee you'll walk out under your own steam. I'll be gentle if it's your first time.

I don't think I would have much fun there love. Never did enjoy seeing my blood spilled.

[tides_of_war]

Didn't want to assume, but I figured as much.

I don't think I could abide watching such lovely blood spill, doll. Our particular battles are best waged away from a crowd of onlookers.

[cyprian_swan]

You will be careful, won't you? These mortal bodies are much more fragile than our usual forms. I would be most unhappy if you are grievously injured.

And quite right. Those particular battles are best with no spectators.

[tides_of_war]

I'll be better than careful, Dite, darling. I'll be victorious.

Glad you agree.

[tides_of_war]

I thought I'd make an announcement to the people who might enjoy a good tussle without needing to go out and pick one.

If you find yourself not among them, kindly shut the hell up.

If you were to actually read, sister mine, you'd see the part where I called him "trite."

[tides_of_war]

Sometimes "drivel" has a tendency to touch on gold.

And I never liked the word "drivel."
