So.

What do you guys do when you're really mad at someone?

Productive and unproductive tactics welcome. I also enjoy colorful stories.

[ Private to Felix Gaeta, later ]

[ Okay, it's time to confront this. She's calm. She's good. She's going to say something elegant, and Felix is going to respect her, and they will be friends.

Here goes! ]

You're stupid.

Yes, but bar fights. I mean, you lose points for bringin' guns and knives. There's an art to a proper bar fight. A kind of mobile, beer-marinated poetry. And it's a great way to make friends, too.

[deadly_ned]

Except you can't expect everyone to follow the rules.

[routemistress]

Then they shouldn't be in a bar, should they? What kind of people are you 'anging out with, Ned?

[deadly_ned]

Me? What kind of people am I-?!

All I'm saying is that you can't trust people to follow the rules!

[routemistress]

I don't know, Ned - you come off this sweet, gentle bakin' bloke and then I get talkin' to you and you're just full of horrors. First necrophilia, now you're talkin' bringing guns to a bar fight?

I don't know. What are we going to do with you.

[deadly_ned]

For what I suspect will not be the final time, I am not a necrophiliac. I just have particular ideas about death.

[routemistress]

...So you're not denying the bar fight thing, then?

Catch me ever goin' drinking with you again.

[deadly_ned]

I don't often drink. Or at all. At all counts as not often, right?

[routemistress]

If I 'adn't 'ad very recent experience of the effect of alcohol on the human body, Ned my love, I'd do a much better job of keepin 'up me comic outrage at this point.

[deadly_ned]

You rile me up on purpose.

[routemistress]

...You've only just noticed?

[deadly_ned]

It's cruel. I don't ruffle your feather boa.

[routemistress]

You rise to it so beautifully, though, sweetheart, it's irresistible.

And you could if you liked.

[deadly_ned]

I have a girlfriend. I can't go off ruffling anyone's anything.


And just because yeast naturally causes dough to rise doesn't mean you need to go prodding it with a fork.

[routemistress]

Some people just really need a good forking.

[deadly_ned]

And some people can get by with being left to rest. Forever.

[routemistress]

...If you really wanted me to stop the necrophilia jokes you'd not say things like to me, Pieman. Honestly, it's like trailing a ball of wool in front of a cat.

[deadly_ned]

I was talking about me.

[routemistress]

You'd really rather I never talked to you again?


...Not 'appening. Did you know one of me friends ended up living dead during the flood?

[deadly_ned]

No, I mean.


....Why would you even bring that up.

[routemistress]

Well, good.

I were changing the subject! I'd've gone with pies, only I've never met anyone that turned into a pie yet.

[deadly_ned]

I have other interests besides pies and dead people.

[routemistress]

Oh? Name one.

[deadly_ned]

My girlfriend Chuck.

[routemistress]

[Look at Iris not making any necrophilia jokes whatever.]

Oooh, now that's a start! Tell me all about 'er. 'Ow'd you meet?
