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.

[ wow not as planned ]

[landfall]

Unfortunately, I'm really bad at talking.

[deshabille]

I've noticed that. Which is why I said hitting first.

[landfall]

And what, talk really fast before they regain their breath?

[deshabille]

Or just keep hitting.

Only if they can hit back, of course, otherwise what's the point?

[landfall]

....I would guess that the point is not to get hit back.

[deshabille]

Mm, no. The point is to fight. It can solve some things. It can help.

Especially if the other party's angry too. And then, when you're done, sometimes words come easier.

[landfall]

I'm afraid he'll just get this injured look on his face.

[deshabille]

That's a terrible and boring defense.

[landfall]

He's really good at being a victim.

[deshabille]

[Her lips twist in distaste.]

Then hit him until he realizes that doesn't get you anywhere.

[landfall]

I don't think that'll help.

[deshabille]

Then hit something else, if he's not going to rise. If you're angry on two different levels, the two of you, it won't work, you'll just get angrier.

[landfall]

He's angry, he's just - an idiot.

[deshabille]

But you're being angry in different ways. That's what I mean. Don't give him a reason to think he's more of a victim.

[landfall]

He knows he's not a victim! He's just stupid!

[deshabille]

But he's better at words than you are, isn't he.

[landfall]

...yes.

The hell I would have followed me into a mutiny.

[deshabille]

Right.

Would you be better at words than you are right now if you had a chance to hit something?

[landfall]

If I hit Felix, I think I'd get really good at words like 'sorry'.

[deshabille]

I don't think you should be quite that forgiving just yet. Whether you hit him or not.

I meant hitting something else. To make you less angry. Cooler.

[landfall]

You volunteering?

[deshabille]

Yes.

[landfall]

Where?

[deshabille]

Your choice. I'm not partial.

[landfall]

My place.

[ It doesn't really have a gym. This isn't really a problem. ]
