the name's mugen don't forget it i'm gonna be the strongest damn guy in all of japan and i'll cut an

[unfinite]

so i'm training these beetles for fighting so i can earn prize money right and it turns out i'm the best beetle trainer in the entire fucking world, thank you, and my beetle becomes king of the ring or what the hell ever and this guy dumps this huge wooden box thing that makes a bunch of weird airy noises on my lap instead of cash and what the hell am i supposed to do with it i ask him and this bitch i travel with tells me "mugen that's a computer" and i'm like yeah, okay, what the fuck is a computer, and so she pokes around and the computer takes me here and i'm talking to people? who are you people where do you come from and do you know how to use swords

bitch keeps telling me i need to learn how to use punctuation but what is that

[ Of course, I do plan on having Mugen learn how to punctuate and all that eventually! I just hope a post like this is okay meanwhile as he tries to learn both it and technology? Guy isn't the smartest crayon in the box, after all. ]

Beetle fighting. That has got to be the lamest thing I've ever heard of. Not that I know what a computer is, either. The closest thing we had to that, we don't have anymore. So you're on your own there.

[A beat.] I don't know how to use a sword, but I know a few people that can do it well enough to make up for me a few times over. [OH SPIRITS, IT'S ANOTHER YURI, ONE WAS ENOUGH]

[unfinite]

the hell do you mean beetle fighting is the lamest thing

you can't even use a sword that's the lamest thing

[blahblahblah]

I mean beetle fighting is lame! It's a child's hobby at best. And I don't need a sword - I'll just torch anything I don't like. [She's made a name for herself in that respect.]

[unfinite]

you have no idea the amount of cash you can earn from making beetles fight do you pipsqueak

torching shit takes out all the fun you know

[blahblahblah]

No, I don't. And I don't really care, because I have ways of getting money if I need it. And the coliseum paid me a pretty hefty sum for taking on all comers. [She was proud of that one.]

Why shouldn't I burn things? Beating them to death is slow, and takes effort. I can make a pyre out of something much more quickly.

[mightletyouknowme]

It's the thing you need to learn if you want anybody to know what any of that even means, when you're done playing with bugs. If you would just get a normal job, you wouldn't have to do something so disgusting.

[unfinite]

you saying training beetles ain't a real job girlie?

hell i've been working hard 'stead of stealing give me a fucking break

[mightletyouknowme]

Of course it's not. Who's going to watch beetles? They're pretty small anyway. What do you even train them to do?

[unfinite]

you don't know shit, babe these little guys fight against each other in a life or death match god damn it, i train mine to be the best and strongest in the whole business and they are winning

them tiny bodies pack up a serious punch. bet my beetle could take you down

[mightletyouknowme]

As if something like that could happen! I could easily win against a bug. I would just step on it.

Have her push the button for video while she's at it. It'll make a lotta things easier.


[Not because he minds the lack of punctuation--his wouldn't exactly be stellar either if he could be assed to text--but because reading in general's a pain.]

[unfinite]

[WHOA. Mugen doesn't expect to see a person. For a long while he just stares in disbelief, but then he manages to learn what the hell the guy meant by 'video button'. So he presses it.

He jumps back when he sees a little rectangle of himself in the corner.]

WHAT THE HELL, MAN.

[material_guy]

[This should be old by now, explaining the community, the internet, computers. But it's not. Greed finds himself with a too-wide grin at that reaction, barely holding in a snicker. The new guy's a lively, animated kinda guy.]

Little happier with yer bug-fighting prize now?

[unfinite]

Am I s'posed to be?! [There's very little that's keeping Mugen from just cutting the damn box thing in half.] The hell is this? Can you see me?!

[The camera now just catches the wide gap of his loose shirt collar that appears as he leans over and pokes the video feed of the other guy. No reaction, though. So he can't feel him???]

[material_guy]

In hi-def. [As much as he sounds like he's gloating about that, after a moment, his expression falls, mildly disappointed.] It'd be a good angle if you were a girl...

Beetle fighting sounds either really cool or really stupid.

[unfinite]

IT'S COOL AS ALL HELL

[yes_im_kawaii]

AUUUU

STOP YELLING

[unfinite]

I'LL STOP ONCE YOU TAKE BACK CALLING THE BEETLES STUPID YOU BASTARD

[yes_im_kawaii]

MAYBE YOU'RE STUPIDER THAN THEY ARE

If you can't punctuate properly, you don't have to use the text function.

[unfinite]

WHERE ARE YOU

[audio]

[embersandashes]

You don't know how to change from text at all, do you.

[text]

[unfinite]

which one is text

[embersandashes]

The one you're on.

But everyone's device is different. You might not have any other options at all.
