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. ]

	[ It's taken Dirk a while, but he finally manages to locate him. Here. At the beach. No warning. He just swoops in, sword swinging. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That's fine. He didn't need a warning. Disappearing in a blur before the sword can hit him, then reappears a good distance away, cracking his knuckles. His body is tense but not aggressive and he makes no move to launch a counter attack.] I was wonderin' when you'd get here. Took longer than I expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It took longer than expected for me to wheedle your name out of the drunk fifteen-year-old girl you took advantage of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's not going to respond to that, only quietly stare over his shades at his fuming younger self. Sadly that silence is the closest to an apology that Dirk is going to get.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He wouldn't accept an apology even if Bro offered one. Roxy might -- hell, Roxy isn't even upset about anything but the fact that they got caught -- but Dirk won't. It's himself; his older, just-as-much-of-a-jackass self as he is now; he's as much of a troll as the fucking auto-responder, only without any of the usefulness.

And Dirk isn't sure whether he's more pissed off that he fucked a teenage girl, or that he was able to give Roxy something Dirk had long ago wished he could.

Why focus on the details, though? He came down here to kick some ass. He lunges again, swinging the sword right at Bro's face. ]

[That's right. Just get it out of your system and onto Bro's face, kid. (................ ...... ...)

Bro starts to moves but it's about a millisecond too slow and there is a grotesque crunching noise as the wooden blade connects with his nose. And in the next instant, his fist is flying towards Dirk's stomach to try to incapacitate him enough to move out of range.]

	[ Dirk grins cruelly when he connects with Bro's nose. He's so focused on the fact that he actually got a hit in that he doesn't move fast enough to avoid that fist. He doubles over and nearly drops the sword. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-04-04 05:23 am UTC (link)
	[Normally he would get a few more hits in since Dirk didn't dodge and that should be a lesson but no- He's getting a good bit of distance between them, then spitting the blood that has run into his mouth into the sand. He delicately touches his nose and winces because, yeah, it's definitely broken. Good hit. Watching Dirk impassively.] You done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-04 05:25 am UTC (link)
	[ He manages to right himself, redoubling his grip on the weapon and glaring daggers at Bro under his shades. ] That depends. You done screwing with my friends? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-04-04 05:35 am UTC (link)
	[He tilts his head a little, blood still dripping out of his nose while his face starts to swell.] They done lettin' me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ So that's a no? He zips around behind Bro, aiming a blow at the back of his head. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-04-04 05:44 am UTC (link)
	[That's a "Boy, you better start teachin' them or this is gonna happen again with someone even worse than me." And that's not going to land. Shifting out of the way, but staying in range if Dirk wants to keep swinging. No countering yet, just flashstepping.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-04 05:47 am UTC (link)
	[ "If" he wants to? Please. This guy's good. Dirk thought he had the flashstepping down pat, but Bro is miles ahead of him. He's not giving up, though. Swing swing swing ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Being alive for a couple of decades does that to a guy. Dodge dodge dodge. Then...taking a blow with his ridiculously meaty shoulder, turning and grabbing the sword tightly. Wooden blades. What a fucking joke.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not happenin'. [It really isn't. Dirk isn't anywhere near as strong as muscledouche mcmanflesh here and the sword isn't budging. He bares his teeth, stained with blood like the rest of the lower half of his face, willing Dirk to either try something else on him or stop.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-04-04 06:42 am UTC (link)
	[Fuck you. Surprisingly gracefully. He staggers backwards a couple of steps but his body is primed enough for fighting that he doesn't land on his ass. And now he has a sword. ...Which he immediately snaps in half and flings out into the ocean. His voice is harsher as he repeats his question from earlier.] You done?

	[He makes a grab for Dirk's collar to lift him up and choke him a little for adorable brotherly lesson time.] Tellin' me no ain't gonna get you shit. If you want me out, do a better job of keepin' them away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk is caught. He chokes a bit, kicking his legs out to strike Bro. So fucking infuriating. So... him. God, he can't stand this asshole. Enjoy Dirk spitting in your face, Bro. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-04-05 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	[WELL IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE HE HASN'T BEEN SPAT ON BEFORE just never by himself. He shifts a hand up to wrap around Dirk's neck and squeeze, ignoring the spit that is mixing with the blood and running down his face.] Brat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-05 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ If it were anyone else, this wouldn't be such a problem. But Bro is him, with twenty-ish years of extra fighting experience. Dirk didn't stand a chance from the start. Not that he's actually going to give up. He starts to worry now that he's being fucking choked, but contorts himself and brings a leg up to kick angrily at Bro's neck. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's going to fling Dirk down into the sand before he gets the chance to connect with those feet. Then, staring his baby self down, he wipes the bloody saliva off with his sleeve, which is really gross and is going to ruin this polo but oh well.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-04-05 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)
