[The feed opens to a shot Johnny's dojo. There's a few bean bag chairs set up. There are various beer cans strewn about, some crushed and some open, along with a few lines of reddish orange powder on the coffee table.

That sight is soon blocked as Johnny Lawrence flops into view. His eyes are completely bloodshot and there's beer staining his shirt.]


Now listen up-

I've kept a little quiet since that Little Shit started their whole No Mercy campaign- Now that's on me. That shit rocked me to my core. When I started Cobra Kai here it was to help you little nerds gain confidence- Show them that you couldn't be pushed around. It was never my intention for people to get hurt or killed because some asshole stole my creed.

But you know what, punk? You want Cobra Kai? You want No Mercy? Then fine! It's yours! You can have it!
[He reaches down and picks up an empty can and throws it at the feed. It shifts a little but stays on focus.]

But that doesn't mean I'm out of the business. I'm coming at this from another point of view. Back when I hosted the tournament there was a badass sensei- She took the tournament by storm and with one student managed to take home a first place trophy. She was a lone wolf, she was fierce- And she was a good dog. Wagged her tail a lot.

Which is why in her honor now present to you-

[He stumbles across the dojo floor and pulls away at a banner revealing a new logo that looks strikingly similar to Amaterasu.]

Eagle Fang Karate. Because there's only one animal who can truly kill a snake.

[He then points to the camera and starts walking toward getting his face right up against the lense.]

And this isn't just a call out to Chara and their bullshit either- This is to any of you assholes who think you're better than us. Whether it's Sasuke Udickha and his Super Awesome Ninja School, Or D and his Tiny D, or John Fuckus and his stupid skeleton pack, Or Sailor Moon for- You know what? Just fuck her in particular!

And especially- Especially fuck Daniel Larusso and his cheap ass Crane kicking Miyagi Do shit-

[From off-camera someone clears their throat, quickly revealed as a dark-haired boy with dilated pupils who steps in to stand, belatedly, between the viewfeed and the table.]

Sensei - [Paul shakes his head, a thin crease of worry crossing his face] - I thought we said we weren’t going to try to make people angry.

[Johnny runs a hand through his hair. Eyes a little wide as he stares at Paul and realizes he’s getting more than a little heated. He takes a breath and nods.]

Right, right- It’s okay. I’m cool. I’m cool. No one’s going to get pissed off about that. Trust me.

[Paul relaxes, a smile replacing his concern. His trust is obvious, if also perhaps a little too easily swayed back to Johnny’s favor.]

Okay.

[Johnny relents a little more seeing the trust in Paul’s eyes. He takes another second to breathe and let built up anger pass. Between his latest argument with LaRusso and a few other things building up. It was easier than normal for him to get agitated. The beer and spice weren’t helping either. He reaches over and gives Paul a pat on the back before he reaches to turn off the feed, except his fingers fumble and he totally misses it.]

Look, see? Call out over. Eagle Fang is officially in business.

The part about Lady Amaterasu was good. [Paul offers, encouragingly.] So was the part about eagles.

[Paul hesitates, something else clearly on the tip of his tongue. He reaches for the wing-shaped silver pins at his open collar, then thumbs one free to hold in his palm.]

Birds of prey.

Listen - you can say no to this, I'd understand, but - I've been thinking about - a House, a dojo, they are what we decide they are. Who we decide they are.


[He addresses the pin in his hand at first, then raises nervous eyes to Johnny.]

I'm proud to be part of Eagle Fang, sensei. And I'd be proud to call you part of House Atreides, if you wanted.

[With that, Paul extends his hand to Johnny, pin shining.]

[Johnny stares dumb founded the pin for a long while. It could be the booze, it could be the spice, it could be the fact that he’s just a man who’s kept himself at arms length from having an actual family for a long time. But he starts to tear up a little at Paul’s words.

He takes the pin, but then with his other arm he pulls Paul into a hug.]


You kidding, kid? There’s no way I’d say no.

Yeah, I’ll join your house.

[And he hugs Paul all the tighter. He feels some more tears start to slide down his cheeks as he feels himself get flooded with emotion. And that’s when the words slip through his lips.]

I love Ro- Paubby.

[Because Paul wasn’t the only one here that Johnny wanted to say that to.

Not anymore.

Paul’s fingers curl in the back of Johnny’s shirt as his eyes widen, shoulders hitching slightly. He’s quiet for a beat too long, staring straight ahead, before he closes his eyes again and sinks into Johnny’s shoulder. Softly, he answers:]


I love you too, sensei.

... Somethin' about you makes me sick to my stomach. And by the way, Vi eats boogers on a daily basis. So you'd proooobaaabbblly wanna stay clear from her. 'Less you're into snot breath.

[when they were smaller - much smaller - they'd have monster inventing contests - and more often than not powder would get frightened and vi would have to talk her down, but she's going to employ another childhood tactic here - she'll just up the ante of the gross out. she's done it before, and this is just. too. ridiculous. and it's hard for her to keep a straight face as she does this - but she manages - and smirks proudly afterwards.]

She's right. It's true. The part she left out is that she eats 'em, too.

Does it? Well, as I don't intend on going anywhere, I might recommend some ginger tea to help with that upset stomach.

Probably, but I don't know that I will be, especially if she asks for my assistance.

Funny. A real kidder you are. — Y'know what would look nice on you, blondie? A nice pink dress with bullet holes with cute lil' red polka dotted splats all over it.

[it's....probably time to intervene before someone else does. luna certainly thinks this girl is very powerful, and luna's one of the most powerful sleepers sansa knows.

sansa's eyebrows are raised and her tone is light, but she fully thinks jinx actually needs to hear this.
]

All right, Genius. If you frighten away everyone who wants to help Vi when she's injured, she's just going to end up bleeding in the dirt.

Butt. Out.

(and there's an awkward silence abruptly but then jinx suddenly yelling out: )

Shut up! — No one asked YOU, either!!

(... no one said anything. who is she talking to?)
dohaeris: (but..........)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2022-09-10 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[well, that looks like a sign of either corruption or a curse (or perhaps she could be yelling at mr. bananas? but why). sansa frowns.]

Jinx, whatever it is, we can help you.

And if the Lady Moon has carried Johnny Lawrence to safety, I doubt she's doing it out affection.

[personal profile] opheliac 2022-09-10 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Why can't you just leave me alone?! I don't like you, I don't want your help, I want nothing to do with you. Get it through your STUPID head already...!!

(she is very close to just running away from "home" for a while. in fact, she may do just that in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping.)
dohaeris: (polite read)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2022-09-10 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe I like you, and I won't let you scare me away just because you're afraid I might decide later that I don't. That wouldn't do any good for either of us. Anyway, if you hate me so much, we can go down to the beach to train; you can shoot at me, and I can practice my ninjutsu. I should learn how to dodge bullets.

[she wears a powerful shielding charm on her person at all times, but she won't tell jinx that just yet.]

If you're offerin' for me to shoot you, I have no choice but to listen. 'Sides, my pistol's been gettin' agitated.
dohaeris: (oh yes please continue)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2022-09-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[sansa grins.]

I said you could shoot at me. I think your pistol and I could both use the exercise.

Too late!! — Target required!! You'll be the first my bullets get to dance with.
dohaeris: (ok with this)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2022-09-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[suddenly her smile is perfectly innocent!!]

I love dancing.

[Sailor Moon merely tilts her head and smiles. The day a fucking gun brings her down is the day she stops being Sailor Moon, and oh look, she's still just that.

She merely smiles brighter, this girl is cute if she thinks that such threats are scary or even all that uncommon. Sailor Moon is threatened all the time, it comes with the job.

Oh! You absolutely guessed my favorite color, yes, pink is a great color on me. Thank you for being so considerate as to recommend a dress for me, especially with red polka dots, sounds adorable, just like you!
opheliac: ✖ sousaphone (You think that I'm insane)

[personal profile] opheliac 2022-09-10 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I fucking hate you. And congratulations, you now hold the crown of people I wish to knock their teeth in. You somehow surpassed the nosy Princess I'm livin' with.

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2022-09-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I see you care for Vi very much.

[Because Usagi is not blind when it comes to people, she sees the arguments and conversations. Why else would this girl come to a completely random stranger and suddenly butt in if she didn't have some deep connection to Vi. It's Chibiusa with Mamoru 2.0 but less cute. Still, she very clearly has a possessive streak and wants all of Vi's attention, or something akin to it.]

If you want to join us for an outing or something, I don't mind, but Vi will have to agree to it as well.

[personal profile] opheliac 2022-09-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I want nothin' to do with you and your STUPID outing. (she lets out a bitter scoff.) — I know girls like you. So pretty, smiley, and soooo perfect ♪. What's it like, huh? To have everythin' handed to you 'cuz you lil' Miss Goody-goody.

And to have everyone just love you and praise you 'cuz you're so "wonderful" and "cute". Makes girls like me look like gunk underneath boots or within the cracks of pavement.

(then she hums a small tone.)

Not like I ever wanna be someone like you to begin with. All gross and prissy. Not my style.
lightthedarkness: (Sailor Moon) (Gentle guardian)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2022-09-10 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you change your mind, you would always be welcomed by me. [Her smile is much more sincere and gentle.]

And I'm not perfect, not even close, nor do I pretend to be. I am a mountain of flaws I try to overcome every day and that's okay. You aren't gunk under my boots or cracks in the pavement.

You shouldn't be me, or want to be me, you should absolutely be you because you seem like a really interesting, strong person. ["You're just also clearly in pain," is left unsaid.]

So I hope you don't feel like you need to compare yourself to anyone.

(oh it's such a beautiful and lucky thing that on jinx's side of the omni this is set on voice and not at all on video. there is silence on her end as she gazes at the stranger completely flabbergasted and lost with words. why is she still being so nice even after all the shit she just said? it's similar to sansa with the way she behaves around her. are all the girls in trench like this?

she doesn't understand, she doesn't get it. and it only makes her more upset for some reason. the only thing usagi will hear if she listens very carefully, is a light inhale of a breath. it seems her words hit her in a certain way that shouldn't.)


('you're strong now. just how you've always meant to be. jinx is perfect.'

'you know, powder. what makes you different makes you strong. always remember that, okay?')

(her breath is quivering slightly and then out of pure frustration, jinx grunts and there's a THUD of her definitely throwing the omni somewhere in the room she's in. it doesn't break but enough to know there's a ruckus going on. and after a few seconds, the "call" ends.)
