Really? Great! I'll make sure you get added to the filter. I'm helping Twilight and Riku put the teams together.

I'll be looking forward to working with you. (^_−)

[and then a second text a moment later--]

That IS what you meant by ok, right?

yeah
why wouldnt it be??
if i was going to say yeah that isnt for me id have said that
so exactly how many of us are out to kick these jokers in the face
besides john and who you just mentioned

I've spoken with eight of them personally -- I'm trying to get Naruto in, too, so that would make nine. Eleven including you and me, and then I know of a handful more. Right now, conservative estimate would be fourteen, which isn't that impressive.

Have you ever met a guy called Riku? He's in charge now.

met him once
i got my souped up mega charizard from him
he posted some guide that was pretty helpful when i was a newbie on the account it wasnt chock full of big words

He's a pretty good guy. Helped me figure out the transportation and stuff when I first got here.

Would you want to be on the same team as John? He said you were working on his hand-to-hand with him.

yeah put me with john
see he hits like a grizzly bear or a wall but he lacks the control and training to handle it
he could punch right through someone and not even pause hes just that strong
i dont even want to go toe to toe with him when hes full of cheatsy wind powers and thats from the time guy
time guy wants nothing to do with that
anyway thats my only preference

Whoa! I didn't know he was that strong. I guess it makes sense if he wields hammers but I never really thought about it...

Wait, so you're really saying that John could beat you in a fair fight? I'd want to see that! (◕3◕)

Anyway, I'm thinking about making two different sets of teams: one set that's balanced as much as possible for general action, then another set that's got some kind of specialty, like scouting or defense. Information-gathering, stuff like that. So you might belong to two different teams, if that makes sense.

what no im not saying he could beat me
im just saying he has a strength advantage
it would be a struggle but id win

ok that makes sense
like one team i have x specific role and in the other i might do something else
right
wait you just said that
ignore me im paying attention

I'd still be interested in seeing you guys fight sometime, it sounds like something worth seeing. (^_-)

Yeah I just said that, c'mon, pay attention, Dave! But I don't think it'll be a problem to put you on the same team as John, at least for one of them. With all of his Ghost types, we were talking about him maybe being on a scouting team as well. What's most of your Pokémon team like, anyway? I don't think I've seen most of them.

oh uh
i switch up based on what i need
if i need more defense i pull in types like big punisher a grass rock type
if i need more speed its up to my fast hitters
its like mixing music if you dont have the right tones youre going to get crap
unless youre talking about what i specialize in
thats dragons fire and dark
but yeah anything goes with me

Yeah, I think you and John would balance a team out well. For a specialty team, though, would you rather be on a physical fighting team, or a team more focused on Pokémon battles? Or is that "anything goes" too?

Also, I think John might be talking to Rose about having her join up, too. I guess you'll want to be on her team?

course i want my sister on my team
ill have her back and shell have mine
shes the tactical side of our foursome
ill check on jade to see if she wants in on it and dirk
you met dirk right
ignore me if i told you to meet him

It's still hard to believe you guys are related, honestly. But I'll leave it to you and John to talk to her about it, then one of you guys can let me know.

I haven't met Dirk yet! [Though in the future she has] I know you said I should meet him at the party, but I pretty much just showed up to fight you. I didn't do that much socializing.

Edited 2014-01-24 03:12 (UTC)

yeah i can understand that
it wasnt the best timing for a meeting
speaking of that uh
like i hate to bring up a bad topic if thats stuff tender like a bruise but
are you doing any better

I'm alright. It sucks, but I'll get over it.

[There's more to it than that, but over text, it's a lot easier to lie.]

What kind if ninja would let something like that keep her down, anyway? Next time we fight, I'll be a proper challenge.

if you say so
hey you gave me a pretty good fight before too dont sell that short

[She didn't, but if he tells her that then they'd be back to talking about rather around the issue. He's going to break dance if he has to. God don't let it resort to that. He hates that type of dancing it looks so damn lame.]

well just up the ante and ill wipe my shades off so when you hit me in the face theyre still safe

Don't. Don't patronize me, I know the difference between when I fight well and still lose, and when I just lose.

[Let's see those break dancing moves, Strider.]

You deserve a proper fight, and next time I'll be able to give that to you. I'm just lucky it was you I was fighting, and not an actual enemy.

[In the past he'd have broke something dancing around things. But she hit it directly so he isn't about to run interference.]

oh so were not trying to run circles around that
god damn here i was starting to make my circles
oh well

it isnt about what i deserve
i didnt challenge you for myself
dont make me spell it out
if you do were not gonna survive
all this honesty will just take us out with a well damn son
where did dave and tenten go theyll say
dunno will be the collective answer because the carnage happened that fast
just boom all she wrote

[It's a real good thing this is all over text, because she sure as hell would never be able to say something like this aloud. It takes her a few minutes to even reply, since she keeps erasing and starting over.]

I know why you challenged me. And I appreciate it, don't get me wrong. But I don't want you to challenge me just because you want me to feel better. I want you to challenge me because you think I'll be a real challenge. So I'll keep fighting you until I prove I'm worth your time.

And that's all there is to that.

[And it's easier to talk about fighting than it is to talk about Sasuke.]

not why i challenged you
try again tenten
you still got door number two and three to check out

What?

I'm not going to guess. If you didn't do it to make me feel better, and you didn't do it for yourself, then why did you?

focus
when theres nothing else you can do for a situation
go back to what you know
nine times out of ten you can find a way like that
so yeah keep coming at me
i needed the exercise and challenge of someone who knows what theyre doing
deal

[Another pause before she finally just responds with,]

I hope you've got a backup pair of shades, then.

damn right i do
i use those vs these
because i cant lose these my best bro got them special
you know how it is

Is that why you never take them off, even inside?
