Hey, this is Isaac. Leave a message, I guess.

nah she definitely shot me once
it was a pretty unfortunate experience
and dude you dont even swing right when you punch im not letting you anywhere near a sword

[frigidaire]

yeah pretty sure getting shot would suck for anyone
but maybe thats just me
also i punch just fine ive knocked people out before okay

[feathery]

well it wasnt exactly real
it just felt real
in any case im pretty sure the only reason youve knocked people out is because youre a fucking werewolf and the target in question was probably a normal human being
to be honest i dont know how you havent gotten your ass irrevocably kicked into your teeth yet by someone who is a normal human being you leave yourself wide open

[frigidaire]

ive been in the hospital a lot actually
but mostly cause i have to protect other people
you know, kicking other peoples asses and taking the fall for my friends
no big deal or anything. i even got electrocuted once.
but my punches suck, sure.

[feathery]

uh
you realize thats exactly the opposite of reassuring right
thats like waltzing into the combat laundromat with a complete list of incidents that elucidate every single fucking time in your life when you really could have used some serious karate know how but got your ass kicked instead
all you need to do now is send me a letter detailing how right i am and youve formally indicted yourself

[frigidaire]

im not good at english so the letter wouldnt really help
im not that bad of a fighter okay i know how to take people down if i have to.
most werewolves just kind of growl and jump and stuff. scott did a lot of roaring which was cool i guess and derek just kind of stared people down so
at least i do stuff. maybe.
like i said i was in the hospital a lot. some of my friends dont have anything but weapons and they would have died.

[ turns out some of them did, anyway, no matter what he did. ]

[feathery]

ok youre missing the point
the point is if you had to fight anyone who actually knew what they were doing
theyd probably kill you???
and telling me youve been hospitalized multiple times cause no one from california knows what the fuck theyre doing isnt great for convincing me otherwise

[frigidaire]

okay whatever im not that great
but i didnt really get good training
derek wasnt a good alpha and he threw me out anyway
and scott cant really fight
so. i kind of have to do what i can.

[feathery]

thats
i cant actually say a lack of training is a bad thing
only somehow youve managed to get yourself into a fucking plurality of fights since you showed up and i dont think ive been in a single one
despite being here even longer
i guess i can show you how to hit something without looking like a complete idiot though

[frigidaire]

i dont look that bad when im fighting jeez
thanks for the confidence bird dave.
but if you wanna show me some thatd be cool
better than nothing right?

[feathery]

next time ill take a video
and yeah i guess so
im not a great teacher if you want to be real about it

[frigidaire]

yeah well im not a great fighter so
looks like its a perfect fit or whatever.
derek used to make us do this obstacle course or whatever
as fast as we could then try and attack him.
it never worked so pretty sure you can beat that.

[feathery]

sounds kinda like my bros idea of training
did he ever throw you off a roof

[frigidaire]

no but ive jumped off of one before
but he threw stuff at me sometimes
he could be an ass

[feathery]

yeah that definitely sounds like asshole behavior
why did you jump off a roof
is this one of the incidences where you ended up in the hospital

[frigidaire]

ive jumped off of a lot of roofs.
not very high ones though so nah i didnt go to the hospital
got electrocuted once and thrown off a motorcycle
weird stuff happened with both of those so
i dont really like hospitals much

[feathery]

does anyone actually like hospitals
though now that i think about it ive never actually been to one before
kinda weird considering the number of times ive ended up on the wrong end of a sword but i dont think my bro was a big believer in healthcare

[frigidaire]

uh wait what
you just got stabbed and he didnt take you to the hospital
pretty sure thats illegal or something

[ so is locking your kid in a freezer, but. ]

[feathery]

shit
uh
i guess it doesnt really surprise me if it was illegal considering the rest of my fucking life
but he was a big believer in the strider ability to walk shit off
or stride if you wanna be ironic but im not really feeling it right now
id just put myself through some regimented antiseptics for a while inasmuch as a dumbass kid can regiment anything
luckily they slap directions on literally everything in first aid kits

[frigidaire]

strider? is that your bros name or something
did he like lord of the rings or something
not even my brother would pick a name like that and he was into that stuff
but it sucks yours was a dick dude
i dont get people like that i dont understand why they do it

[feathery]

shrug
i dont think he ever wanted me
strider was his last name though
i guess its still mine
maybe
the gods back in asgard slapped us all with auto ids like atroma and i guess being "davesprite" overrides "dave strider"
maybe cause im only partially a dave and its not like crows have names

[frigidaire]

i mean do you want it as a last name
thats your choice dude not asgard or atromas
but idk
sounds like your bro was a real douche bag
but i think ive said that a thousand times before
his loss anyway

[feathery]

it doesnt really matter
anyway its not like ive got an argument for that i used up all the excuses i had for the guy a long fucking time ago

[frigidaire]

yeah well he doesnt need excuses he sucks
and its not like you have to use his name or whatever anyway

[feathery]

yeah well thats not exactly something that occurred to me as a kid
i thought it was normal i guess
cause i never had a frame of reference for anything else
