Humblebragging intensifies
[ Imagine a dramatic sigh right here. ]
It's finally happened. I've become TOO STRONG.
For all those of you that I might have beaten into a blubbering pulp before, I apologize. It was my every intention to give you a second chance at redeeming yourself for your prior SHAMEFUL SHOWING. But I can no longer do this in good conscience.
I'd just end up wiping the floor with you too hard.

[ What followed was the address of a tea shop Ryoga was working at part-time. ]
My shift ends at 6. Be there, or BE A SPINELESS COWARD.
no subject
[And then he'll promptly get his ass kicked because Noah's an idiot- BUT HE'LL BE THERE]
Action I guess
Though he was not, of course, there to enjoy the ambiance. ]
Action i'm so sorry dfkldsk
Well mostly because he's stupid.
Also because the humblebrag annoyed him. And there's something about having a constant need to prove himself, and refusing to admit he's weak.
But mostly? It's because he's stupid.
So when 6pm rolls around, Noah is coming around the corner. It's a kid that maybe Ryoga's seen in the halls at school the past few weeks. Some new kid from the UK with a prosthetic arm and a constant expression like he swallowed a bug. And sure enough, that's the expression he has now as he comes near. When he gets close enough, he stops- and looks Ryoga right in the face.]
Oy! Your face is bollocks!
no subject
[ Was this kid really rolling up picking fights with a fake arm? At least he wasn't a coward. And what was with that dumb accent that was dumb, no wonder he went around calling things bollocks.]
I hope you didn't come all the way here just to get your butt kicked.
no subject
[ Y e p. He scoffs]
I'm not planning to get my butt kicked at all!
no subject
[ Ah to be a teenager again. ]
And as I said to you earlier, it would be wrong of me to fight you anyway, no matter how thoroughly I'd wipe the floor with your prone, helpless body.
no subject
[This is the argument of scholars right here. And oh, he makes a fist with his good arm and scowls! ]
Oy I'm not helpless at all! You're talking tough shit!
no subject
[ The idea being, of course, that this dude would end up writing his letters with a pen in his teeth during the MANY MONTHS that he would no doubt be recovering from such an endeavor. ]
no subject
[TAKING A SWING WITH HIS GOOD HAND]
no subject
Unfortunately, he did it with enough force to send a man flying, most likely with a mild concussion. What was this, a kung fu movie? ]
no subject
he was definitely not expecting that. He gives a pained sound as he sits up.]
!!!!!
H-Holy shit! Did you just flick me?
[there's a beat before he responds]
Fuck! That's awesome!
[What?]
no subject
Would he look fearfully ahead to a future in which he might be used as an experimental test subject, or required to register himself with the government or be chased down by angry robots?
Was he going to show any sort of foresight and contemplate the use of a secret identity to hide his personal information from those who might try to exploit or attack him? ]
I know. It's great.
This is the best day of my life.
[ no ]
no subject
Shit, I bet! That's like...superhero strength!
[Noah always had a chip on his shoulder, but Noah can also respect real strength. He moves to get up, jumping to his feet with the skill of an acrobat]
Sorry mate. When I saw your post, I thought you were just talking shit. Didn't know that you... how did this happen?
no subject
[ And for some reason, no one believed him about anything, not even that possible Yeti sighting. POSSIBLE COOL SUPERHERO CODENAME: CASSANDRA. Wait that was for girls ]
To be honest, I'm not sure. I've been working to improve on my technique all my life, but it's just been within the last few days that this has happened.
no subject
Huh. Weird. Maybe you got bit by something and didn't notice.
So how strong are you now? That was just a flick!
no subject
I considered ways to test it out, but I'm not sure how to do so in the city limits. I'm sure there'd be a big hubbub if I broke something big.
[ Thinking... thinking... ]
Do you know if there's a junkyard around here?
no subject
[Damn...laws, getting in the way of your superhero montage]
I dunno. But there should be with a city this size, right?
no subject
Yes. And surely no one will notice an extra car that was going to be smashed anyway!
[ What a brilliant plan clearly nothing would go wrong here ]
no subject
[Noah sees no problem in this plan. No way it could possibly go wrong or that there's anything wrong with breaking into a junkyard to smash stuff. ]
no subject
Say, would you like to come along? Since I wouldn't have thought of the idea without your suggestion.
[ There was certainly no way this was going to result in a literal dumpster fire. ]
no subject
[he shrugs, even given what looks like a small smirk.]
Sure! Not every day you see shit outta a fucking comic book.
Oh, I'm Noah.
