[ACTION]

[kaidont]

[If you are currently near the outskirts of Union, you might hear a bit of a racket.

Or you might outright just find Kaido, Flabébé and Sraggy.

They've set up a set of twin practice dummies (a big one for Kaido, a smaller one for Scraggy) and are practicing kicks and punches with synchromised timing, with Flabébé alternating between checking on the egg they have nearby and pushing a large ball around with Fairy Wind.

They've been at this for a week. Someone stop them.

Or alternatively, complain about the noise]

[Whoops that's a palm to your face pushing you away]

[at_too_low]

[He laughs and pushes your hand away]

Don't worry, I got that covered for you. We're a textbook combo, the nerd and the musclehead.

[kaidont]

[snort] Don't muscleheads usually beat up nerds in those books?

[at_too_low]

At first, maybe. But then something happens and they have to team up and become hesitant friends. And then normal friends. Also, they're supposed to hate being in a team together and argue a lot but then there's always the part where they get separated and realize they can't do anything without the other's smarts or strength and become better friends. So like it or not, you're stuck with me. It's all in the book~

[OH MY GOD ATSURO

He's facepalming]

[at_too_low]

W-What?

[It's all legit! That is, as legit as fictional characters stories cliches go, but]

[kaidont]

[handwave] Nevermind. [Note that he's still facepalming]

[at_too_low]

You can't just do that and go "nevermind".

[kaidont]

[Pokes your nose]

[at_too_low]

[Wh-- he's going to try to catch your hand with both of his]

That's not an answer!

[kaidont]

[Aw don't give him those eyes]

It's nothing, Atsuro. Honest.

[at_too_low]

Really?

[kaidont]

Yes, really. [He means it]

[at_too_low]

[... He attempts to look serious, but he can't help grinning]

Reaaaaaaally?

[Yep, that's just to annoy you]

[kaidont]

Don't push my patience, nerd.

[And that's just to tease you]

[at_too_low]

[EXAGGERATEDLY DRAMATIC SHOCK]

You have a patience?!

[kaidont]

You're standing, aren't you?

[at_too_low]

[He's taking out his notebook and pen again]

Well this definitely should be recorded! All this time, and I never even suspected!

[kaidont]

[OKAY HE'S PUSHING YOU DOWN]

[at_too_low]

[Well this doesn't do much because he's laughing as he goes down]

That short, huh?~

[kaidont]

[poking your nose again] Shut up.

[at_too_low]

Well, you did prove my point~ Also, you're heavy, get off.

[Pretend punch and push to your chest]

[kaidont]

[Yeah fine he'll take his knee off your stomach, sit back and hold out a hand to help you up]

[at_too_low]

[Yeah alright he'll take it. And doesn't let go for a second longer than he needs to get up--

And that second is used to give you a small shock. He's grinning, revenge is sweet~]

[kaidont]

Ouch--the fuck was that for?

[HE DIDN'T USE HIS ABILITIES YOU'RE NOT PLAYING FAIR]
