Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[It takes a disturbingly short amount of time for the status quo to be restored. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

There's a new floor to explore, a perverse reward for a trial well done.]

"Just throwin' balls?"

[ Just throwing balls??? Heh. Nishitani chuckles. He might actually be twelve. Nonetheless he raises his arm above his head dramatically--- don't worry he's not gonna 'just' throw the ball at your head or anything, Choro.

jk he sets the ball back on the. thing. I'm sure the ball-return machine has a name but I don't know. ]

Nah, ya gotta do it right else yer just gonna throw the ball in the fuckin' gutter, kid.

[shikosuki]

[ He blinks and tilts his head. He doesn't get what was funny (°ヘ°) (because he's dumb) But he IS listening, so there's that at least. ]

Ohhh, I see. I guess I never threw mine right before.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, prolly not.

[ No offense? Yes offense. ]

Ya'll be able ta tell the difference when ya throw it right versus when ya don't. It ain't that hard.

[ But just in case here is a tiny 8lb ball for you, Choro. Start small. ]

Just fuckin' try it.

1/2

[shikosuki]

Um, okay. [ Taking the ball now! And going to approach the lane... hopefully practice shots don't count.

Trying to concentrate... then... throw! ]

[shikosuki]

[ Aaaaaaaaaand beeline straight for the gutter ]

...Ah.

[buddyoldpal]

[ ........why did h even for one second suspect Choro would know how to bowl. ]

Ya wanna try a lighter ball, kid?

[shikosuki]

[ Sorry Uncle Yakuza but useless is in his title, you should have known better :V ]

Uh... y-yes please!

[ Gonna take the lighter ball. ]

...So weight matters too?

[buddyoldpal]

[ He really should have, what a wasted youth......... ]

Heavier balls make it easier ta get a strike. But they're harder ta spin and aim, 'specially for weak shits like you.

[ Hi this is Uncle Yakuza reminding u that u r a shit ]

[shikosuki]

[ Oh, that sets him off just a little. ]

O-Oi...!!

[buddyoldpal]

[ Perhaps this will improve your game, Choro-kun. ]

What? Am I wrong? Or did I not just see ya throw that ball straight down the gutter?

[shikosuki]

[ MAYBE

He looks real pissy, like he wants so badly to say anything to refute that, but instead he just turns away and stomps off in a huff ]

I-I'll show you then...!! [ HE'S GONNA DO IT, HE'S DETERMINED TO GET GOOD (it probably won't work out for him) ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani cackles. He's here for it, kid. Show him off already. ]

1/3

[shikosuki]

[ HE'S GONNA!!

He takes even longer to concentrate this time. He wants to get it right!! Before anyone can yell at him to hurry it up, he throws... ]

[shikosuki]

[ And at first it's actually going really well! It won't be a strike but it seems like he'll actually be able to knock a bunch of pins down!!

And Choromatsu just looks thrilled, more so about actually maybe getting it right-- ]

[shikosuki]

[ Until suddenly the ball takes a sudden, impossible turn, like some one invisible came out of nowhere and kicked it, and goes straight into the gutter again ]

--Ah!?

[ AKATSUKA-SENSEI, WHY ]

[buddyoldpal]

I dunno what I fuckin' expected.

[ He's just gonna look away now. Goodbye. ]

[shikosuki]

[ Dying would be better than this humiliation ]

I'll just... provide moral support then...

[ Going to go and sit down to sulk ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Better luck next time, Hot Nots!

[OHHHHHHH!]

1/2

[shikosuki]

[ !!!

For a second Choromatsu looks like he might actually cry for real ]

[shikosuki]

[ But then he remembers his "scrappy little bitch" roots ]

SHUT UP!! KING JERK!

[ DON'T MAKE HIM GO OVER THERE AND PUNCH YOU JUNPEI ]

[tacomeme]

Cut him, Choromatsu! I'll hold your ball.

[HE'LL GO OVER THIS BALL RETURNER THING WITH YOU, HOMIE]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Whoa, whoa, that's very unsporting, guys.

[Also, would he even be saying these things if he didn't have Ardyn, Church, and Finn on his team? ...Likely, but he might actually think first.]

[plugout]

Uh, excuse you, who called us the Hot Nots?

[shikosuki]

[ .......... ]

...Ehhhhh, cutting might be a bit much.

[ Nothing like Takumi's feudal extremism to dissipate his anger a little ]

[tacomeme]

... okay maybe not literally. I mean, you don't even have a sword.
