I'm always willing to - what did you say? Throw hands.
[she is like 5 feet tall]
But I'll keep that in mind. I don't know if I can call my friends 'bitch' endearingly - the royal guard might have my head for that, even if it'd be satisfying. [because soo-won IS a bitch]
I'll take note of it. So would you say we're dealing with a punkass situation?
Yeah, that's fair. It's definitely somethin' everyone's gotta be comfortable with when you actually like the people.
But...hm. Nah. You use it more to describe people directly. Like, "ugh, that punkass kid is always comin' around here and startin' shit," or "punkass nerd shoulda kept his mouth shut instead of remindin' the teacher she forgot to collect the homework." Yer already insultin' the person, you're just addin' "punkass" for emphasis.
[sometimes a weird friendship is a giant yakuza and a small girl he taught how to say 'punkass']
They're both idiots?
[okay no, she seems to actually think for a second]
... it's just me, Ookurikara, and Tsurumaru. We're all.... friends. [dumb tsun] They're morons, that wasn't a lie, but they would never kill an innocent person without an extremely good reason. 'They'll become corrupted if we let them live' or 'we all need to die in order to get out of here' reasons.
Sorry - are people just really commonly introducing themselves as sword people now? Is that something they are openly doing without a care in the world?
... I can't confirm or deny that for you. That's something that you'd have to ask him yourself. Even if other people were open about something like that, it's not really right for me to reveal something about my friend. [oh, to be both honest and loyal]
Anyway, that guy is ridiculously friendly - so I doubt he'd mind if you asked.
[ smash cut to monday morning when majima punches tsuru in the face and they get stuck like that for an hour
but all of that seems to get at him, and his expression softens considerably. like, he's definitely obviously still a giant and somewhat intimidating one-eyed man, but the traits that earned him the ogou-san nickname are starting to shine through. ]
...heh. I respect that. Ya got a good head on yer shoulders, Lili-chan.
I don't know what you're calling me, but Lili is fine.
[what's a lilichan
anyway after the immediate bluster she's just going to... frown a little. she looks confused? it's weird, people seem to actually be responding to her positively here and she doesn't get it.]
—If yer sure. S'what we tack onto girls' names where I'm from.
[ for what it's worth, he looks the teensiest bit sheepish. she did just say she didn't want to deal with niceties... the sass is strong, and again, he can legitimately respect it. ]
Either way... people can say one and turn on it as soon as shit starts lookin' bleak or if it's not what someone wants to hear. It takes balls—or, uh, guts—to stick to yer morals and do the right thing, even if ya end up lookin' like an ass afterward.
[she waves it off, not caring particularly about what gets tacked onto girls' names or not. she just knows she'd rather be addressed with only her own]
... I'm prepared for that - it's not as though I ever expected to be liked. [okay edgy] But when you're surrounded by incompetent people, what did that even matter? I'd rather be unfriendly if it means that I don't have to live with regret.
[anyway - ]
You're surprisingly soft for a big, mean-looking guy.
[ with that being said... if this were a fresh majima straight out of 1988 osaka, he'd be more inclined to try and rebuff lili's claim. but after everything he'd gone through in the past month and a half—from being called "ogou-san" and treated like a father to falling in love and gaining a partner to simply accepting the fact that people actually fucking care about him—
Well, it's good that you own it. A lot more thugs than expected are just softies, but they always keep up that annoying masculine bravado.
Actually - I have a question for you, on the topic of not obeying stupid rules. [was that the topic] Think you'd be willing to share if your power is inherently offensive or not? Mine isn't, but I've got a reason for asking.
In the previous place I was in, we were all given powers. Both elemental and a named one - but the named ones varied from stupid and annoying to lethal. I used to be able to conjure poison.
It's been brought to my attention that not all the powers given to us are harmless - and I want to know how many dangerous ones there are.
At least where I was before, they were all made obvious and listed. Here, we don't have that. But what's the point in giving us dangerous powers if all we're supposed to be doing is playing harmless games?

So, Lili-chan, got any juicy fun facts to share about people from your game?
