Day 213; open action
[ Dirk is unaffected by the emotional manipulation going around, but one could be forgiven for assuming otherwise -- He's storming from place to place, driven and scowling and clearly a man on a mission.

Do feel free to stop him and ask what's up and why he's carrying that wooden sword around, or chat him up about the weather, but he's not going to have much to say. ]

((OOC: Thread with Jake is moderately NSFW. ))

	[ You're going to have to do something to end this, Bro. Because Dirk isn't going to be the one to back down. He pushes himself to his feet, swaying unsteadily. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[You're going to get yourself hurt, dumbass.

Bro isn't going to start an attack; he's already taken what he felt he at least somewhat deserved as punishment and the continuation of this fight is all just to see how Dirk operates and show him what he's up against (and maybe a little of it is to let the poor kid vent). If Dirk comes at him, then he'll respond. But until then, he's just standing ready and quiet, tracking Dirk's movements.]

	[ That's the goal, getting "himself" hurt. But first he needs to catch his breath. He rubs his throat. ] What do you want with us, anyway?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Maybe you'll get a pretty bruise that Jake can kiss better.]

Nothin'.

[That isn't entirely true. He wants to know everything about Dirk and his friends because he feels he's got a right to it. He also needs something to focus on, something to invest himself in, things to mold and mess with. Keeps him from getting bored. ~~but there's also an actual desire to do something useful, to help these little shits like he would Dave. To make sure his younger alt self gets a good life.~~]

	Then back the fuck off! [ His voice is possibly more enraged-sounding than it has been in a long time. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Shakes his head, a humorless smile playing around his lips.]

We already talked 'bout this, kiddo. Issuing orders don't mean a goddamn thing to me. I ain't like your friends or those robots that you could push around and power trip on. And I'm not real inclined to listen to the little shitface I was twenty years ago.

So until you can fuckin' make me, you best find another way to keep me out if you want it that bad.

[God you are so cute. He matches the speed easily, showing off how good he is at flashstep, before letting Dirk in close and taking a pretty good punch to his gut for it (it probably feels like punching a brick wall, but it does get a grunt and a hiss of breath out of him).

But he needed Dirk close to slam his fist into that pretty baby jaw, which is what he's swinging for.]

	[ His fist connects with Dirk's jaw, making Dirk grab it and go stumbling back. Shit he's in so much pain. He keeps going. Gonna have to knock him out, Bro. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Goddammit. Normally he would approve of this determination and drive but right now it is fucking obnoxious since he doesn't even want to really hurt the kid. But it's clear that if he lets Dirk keep going then the kid is going to have a lot more injuries than if he just takes him out now. So he's going to be doing that. A hard punch to the head should do it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rubbing his knuckles and shaking his head as he walks over to Dirk's body.] Dumbass. [He...should probably do something with Dirk instead of leaving him just lying in the sand. Hm. Scooping him up into his arms as gently and smoothly as possible, trying not to jostle his head or neck too much because a hit like that could seriously fuck things up.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
