Who: Furiosa and you?
Broadcast: Video
Action: First Breath
When: A couple days after the masquerade

I've been here ... two hundred and seventy-nine days, I guess about nine months. It was easier to count days in my world, because you were lucky if you made it to tomorrow. So, you end up fighting for tomorrow.

It's a prison here, but I haven't had to fight. There's no one to fight. I've spent the last seven thousand days before arriving here fighting someone for something. It's been ... strange, here. I think sometimes I miss it, the action, but I wonder if it's just because I was used to it.

I find sometimes an impromptu sparring session helps, but I was wondering if there would be interest in something a little more ... organized? It'd keep us honed, busy between stops. [And, well. A sense of camaraderie.]

[She shrugs.]

Designated time and place. See what happens and who responds, adjust accordingly?

[kickingand]

Should be a good start.

[ He sounds at least sort of convinced. ]

[kill_switch]

You got any better ideas?

[Don't get all excited on her here.]

[kickingand]

[ He would never. ]

Ground rule. No super-anything.

[kill_switch]

[She quirks her brows.]

Anyone's welcome. If you don't want to fight someone, that's your prerogative.

[kickingand]

Never said they wouldn't be welcome.

[kill_switch]

Then what were you saying?

[kickingand]

Anyone's welcome, long as they keep to sparing. Leave anything else out of the ring.

[kill_switch]

I would think that went for everyone involved.

[kickingand]

That'd be the goal, sure. After that- [ let it be a goddamn freeforall. ]

[kill_switch]

[Her look hardens slightly, sliding slightly into Imperator.]

There is no after that. If you're so quick to judge it might be better if you form your own club.

[kickingand]

[ Welp. Even when he's not outright judging, he's getting slammed for judging. Them's the hard knocks. ]

Don't worry, you can keep the idea.

[kill_switch]

[She can smell the implication, and that's more than enough.]

Word of advice, say what you mean. You sound like a coward when you dance around your meaning.

[kickingand]

[ Just. So much staring.

This is what he gets for trying to be not outright offensive. Wonderful. Fuck even attempting social skills from now on, who needs 'em. ]

If I was looking for advice, I would've asked for it.

[kill_switch]

[Social skills are for those who are well adjusted, Dean. Not for people like yourself and Furiosa. Silly Hunter.]

Then don't start telling people who to include. I've had enough of that bullshit in my life, I won't tolerate it on my ship.

[kickingand]

[ It's true, Dean wouldn't know proper social skills if they bit him in the ass. Downside of the goddamn apocalypse. ]

Include who you want. Just keep your eyes out for the first person who can throw a punch with something other than their fists.

[kill_switch]

[Man, fuck the apocalypse and it's ability to mess up what should be simple interpersonal relationships!]

You sound like you've got a chip on your shoulder.

[She's calling you out, bro.]

[kickingand]

[ Never have more true facts been spoken. ]

Just one? [ ... at least he's being honest now ok. ]

[kill_switch]

[Okay color her surprised that she's getting a straight answer out of him.]

What are you going to do, let them sit there? [Here she is, willing to listen.]

[kickingand]

That was the plan.

[ Because, for the most part, he is tremendously good at being set in his ways. ]

[kill_switch]

And how is that turning out for you?

[Judging by this conversation? Not so well ...]

[kickingand]

[ Uh. Wow. This sure went somewhere he didn't want it to. ]

I'm alive, aren't I?

[ That's not even remotely sarcastic. Because it's so obviously the definitive test to see if you plan is working. According to Dean. ]

[kill_switch]

I wonder who you've had to step on along the way.

[You're not impressing her.]

[kickingand]

[ Depending on the day, there's a lot of stepping over Croats......... ]

On the road to what? The high life?

[kill_switch]

Wherever you're trying to get to, it's not here.
