Chess can be badass. Without my having to be kicked half to death. Either this is another fluke or Chester has been holding back on me. Asshole, I told him I'd rather he injure me than he get injured because he's too nice to practice on me.
Okay, so I'm eating my lunch in the alley out back, minding my own business, when Frank shows up. I think FUCKKKK because Frank is about the same height as Chester and twice as wide and I doubt I could do much damage to him, not without a weapon...
Not that I could help it- I didn't have time to retrieve my cricket bat so I engage this massive hulk of a man with MY BARE HANDS and I actually did quite well until he got me cornered so I couldn't use my agility to my advantage. I'm strong for a petite 165cm young woman, but compared to Frank? Yeah, no. No dodging, I'm screwed.
I'm just considering dropping my pride and screaming for help when I hear someone yell "What the...OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!" and then Chester hurtles out of the back door and RUGBY-TACKLES Frank and takes over from where I left off in terms of beating the living shit out of him.
Point 1- Frank has a healing factor. This is worrying.
Point 2- I took a while to help him because I had to get over the shock of Chester, kindly, sweet-natured Chester, Chester who gardens in his spare time and loves animals and cries in movies and who I've looked after ever since I met him, BREAKING A GUYS ARM.
Then I did the sensible thing and joined in, because what kind of Action Girl would I be if I just stood there like a love interest?
...Yeah. Couples bonding much?
Speaking of couple, congrats very much to Ava and Reach. I went awwwwwwwwwww.
On that note, I need to go. Love you all.
--Vivi
What happened to Reach's daughter?
ReplyDeleteErm, not to sound like I'm not glad you're alright.
ReplyDeleteSorry, dealing with a chronic migraine. Had it for two years. Ah, the dramatics.
Seems to get worse whenever I think about slederp.
Aww, what a wonderful, sweet moment of bonding!

@Jedi: Reach's daughter made it out alive as well, thanks to Robert Sagel...who is now in Fairfax Asylum.
ReplyDeleteEverything gets worse where SlenderHERP is concerned.
@Shelby: Sweet it may be, but I am wearing a cardigan in a hot kitchen in the middle of one of the warmest, most humid summers recorded in my city in order to cover up the bruises. I will be glad when 5.00 comes around and I get to go home and empty a bucket of cold water over myself.
--Vivi
Jesus Christ Superstar. Its weird, its all cold here, and you're griping about heat. Trade ya! Aw, dayum, I hope your bruises get better. Eep! Cold water.

I don't mind the heat. It's the humidity. Erk. Anything above about 70% is uncomfortable and anything above around 90% just turns me into a heat zombie.
ReplyDeleteThey're fading already. I'll wear something with sleeves tomorrow, just to make sure my co-workers don't notice. And if they do they'll think I fell down some stairs or something, hopefully. Or I can just tell them the truth and say "I've been teaching Chester karate".
--Vivi
Just be careful, the excuse of falling down some stairs is commonly mistaken for 'my psycho boyfriend beat the shit out of me, and I'm covering for him.'

Jedi, My coworkers know Chess better than they know me, and it's been long established that Chester is a complete and utter sweetheart. A nice guy. If I show up to work with a couple of bruises, the worst that will happen is that Mariko will tell me to be more careful and Max will make a comment theorizing about what we do behind closed doors. (at which point someone will yell at him and he will sulk. I'm AOK on that front.
ReplyDeleteSo, it seems that Chester is now officially in Badass Normal territory. Congrats, Chess! ^^
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, that is sorta awesome. Hope you're not too beat up, though.
~Alora
I am? Ohhhhhhhhh dear. Barely.
ReplyDeleteI literally just went "What the hell why can't they just leave Vivi alone?" and tackled him because for chrissakes, she still hasn't fully recovered from the Labyrinth and I don't think she will for a while and they just won't leave her alone. It's sick.
--Chester
That *is* sick. Freaks. >.< And yes, you're badass normal now. Be proud of it. ^^
ReplyDelete~Alora
He should be proud. It means I worry about him less.
ReplyDelete--Vivi
YOU. worrying about ME? That's...backwards!
--Chester
Yes, but I can handle myself fairly well roughly nine times out of ten, love.
--Vivi
...I can't argue with that. I still worry, you know?
--Chester
