Why Tobi Despises Teruo

[18:59] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo decides to make his way to the guild's gym & physical fitness facility. As he enters, he'll immediately spot Tobi rapidly punching one of the training dummies so hard that its etherium barriers are having trouble repelling the force. As a result, the dummy is suffering some collateral damage. A couple other adventurers watch from the other side of the
[18:59] <~Kafei> room, where they had presumably been lifting weights. /<>/
[19:00] <%Varna> (Teruo) (...Son of a bitch, same thought, huh?)
[19:02] <%Soloxius> Tobi breathes in and out heavily, panting in time with each punch as he rocks it as hard as he can.
[19:02] <%Varna> Teruo watches for a moment before approaching casually.
[19:02] <%Varna> (Teruo) You don't let up, yer gonna end up where I just came from, buddy.
[19:03] <~Kafei> Noting Teruo's presence, the few other adventurers in the room decide they've seen enough, and make for the exit leaving the two of them alone.
[19:04] <%Soloxius> Tobi stops, fist extended, pushing hard into the barrier of the dummy.
[19:04] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...what?
[19:05] <%Varna> (Teruo) People could hear ya breathin' all the way out to Maureen's, I betcha.
[19:05] <%Soloxius> Tobi laughs breathlessly, once, and withdraws his hand, settling back into a stance. He keeps his fist against his other palm, calmly.
[19:06] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
[19:06] <%Varna> Teruo crosses his arms, sizing him up.
[19:06] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Just... needed to let out some tension, y'know?
[19:07] <%Varna> (Teruo) Yeah, 'bout that.
[19:08] <%Varna> (Teruo) I been meanin' ta ask ya somethin'... but the timin' ain't been good. Not til now, anyway.
[19:09] <%Varna> His straight face betrays some serious thought.
[19:09] <%Soloxius> Tobi quietly wipes sweat from his brow with an arm and looks up to Teruo, curious.
[19:10] <%Soloxius> He looks significantly less moody than he did when last everyone was gathered.
[19:10] <%Varna> (Teruo) Somethin' about all this ain't making sense ta me.
[19:11] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) What do you mean?
[19:11] <%Varna> Teruo stares him in the eye, discerningly.
[19:12] <%Varna> (Teruo) Why'd ya stop back there and scrawl that message out?
[19:12] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...because we'd just finished saving Cerylia from being a frog forever? Because maybe, just maybe, I'd had a last-second change of heart and actually cared about her well-being past "maybe she can help us?"
[19:13] <%Soloxius> He cracks a sheepish smile.
[19:13] <%Varna> (Teruo) Yeah? That so?
[19:13] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Yeah. That's so.
[19:14] <%Varna> Teruo looks pretty unconvinced.
[19:14] <%Soloxius> He frowns slightly.
[19:14] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Why? What do you think I did it for?
[19:14] <%Varna> (Teruo) Dunno. Maybe 'cause ya wanted to tell her that, but ya didn't have any other way ta do so.
[19:15] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...that.. doesn't contradict what I said.
[19:15] <%Varna> Teruo starts to smile a little.
[19:16] <%Varna> (Teruo) Yeah, guess maybe yer right...
[19:17] <%Varna> (Teruo) That is, yer right, if you were lyin' before that.
[19:17] <~Kafei> ( Speaking of Cerylia, this is her design, in case anyone didn't happen to see: https://i.imgur.com/WHRkD52.png )
[19:17] <%Eusine> (Oh nice)
[19:18] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...what do you mean?
[19:19] <%Varna> Teruo stops crossing his arms, getting into a stance.
[19:20] <%Varna> (Teruo) Don't play dumb with me, shorty. If ya had a linkpearl with her name on it, what the hell reason would ya have needed to risk leavin' a stupid message on the ground?
[19:21] <%Soloxius> Tobi notes him settling into the stance and backs up a few steps, defensively. Upon hearing Teruo's statement, though.... his face blanks. He looks down at his hand for a moment, then starts laughing.
[19:21] <%Soloxius> He presses a hand to his face.
[19:21] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Would, ahaha, would you believe me if I said that, ehehe, in the moment, I completely forgot I had that linkpearl?
[19:21] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Heheh. Wow. I feel... really stupid now.
[19:23] <%Varna> (Teruo) Like hell I believe that. I dunno who you were talkin' to before, but it wasn't her, I see that much.
[19:24] <%Varna> (Teruo) Yet I ain't seen you actin' like you ain't care 'bout yer teammates.
[19:24] <%Varna> (Teruo) So what gives, huh?
[19:24] <%Varna> Teruo motions at him with his hand.
[19:24] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) It's the honest truth.
[19:24] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) I completely, utterly, forgot.
[19:27] <%Soloxius> Tobi shrugs, and drops his stance, still laughing quietly.
[19:27] <%Varna> (Teruo) If that's the case, then call 'er up. See what she's got to say.
[19:27] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Sure.
[19:27] <%Varna> (Teruo) And lemme talk to her.
[19:27] <%Soloxius> Tobi walks over to his stuff at the side of the room and pulls out one of his linkpearls. He waves a hand over it and speaks.
[19:28] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) (->Cerylia) Hey. You get my message alright?
[19:28] <%Soloxius> He looks over at Teruo with a searching glance, then smiles wider and rolls his eyes.
[19:28] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) She's no good for you, man.
[19:29] <%Varna> Teruo follows him, brushing off the comment with a hand wave.
[19:29] <~Kafei> \<>\ There's no response from the linkpearl. /<>/
[19:30] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...
[19:30] <%Varna> (Teruo) Ain't answerin', huh. Pretty convenient.
[19:30] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) (->Cerylia) You there?
[19:31] <~Kafei> \<>\ A few moments pass... nothing. /<>/
[19:31] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) I dunno man, she might be busy.
[19:31] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Maybe she's in a fight?
[19:33] <%Varna> (Teruo) Save it, kid. I dunno what game yer playin', but if ya had anythin' to do with what happened to Red... you're gonna have a bad time.
[19:33] <%Soloxius> He shrugs guilelessly.
[19:33] <%Soloxius> Tobi frowns and looks up to Teruo.
[19:33] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...excuse me?
[19:34] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) No, seriously, what?
[19:34] <%Varna> Seeing this, he grins.
[19:34] <%Soloxius> (elsewhere, ivan feels his sins crawling on his back)
[19:35] <~Kafei> (lmao)
[19:35] <%Varna> (Teruo) Ya heard me. I dunno what to think 'bout you. Been makin' me suspicious up and down every alley since we got to that excuse for a town in the desert.
[19:35] <%Eusine> (Nope... just spiders)
[19:36] <%Soloxius> (uhuhu)
[19:36] <%Varna> (Teruo) But I also seen ya in that fight with the flyin' eyeball.. and after.
[19:36] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...so what you're saying is... you think I had something to do with Feyru dying?
[19:36] <%Varna> He shrugs.
[19:37] <%Varna> (Teruo) Dunno. Maybe ya told somebody we were comin' ta get her, and that happened.
[19:37] <%Soloxius> Tobi scowls outright.
[19:39] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) What?! Oh, yeah, sure. I wanted Feyru dead, for whatever reason, even though my... Maribelle is actually best friends in the future with her, and of course, being the rogue that I am, wanted to hurt her even more than she already is, and called up the fuckers from the Void to say "Hey, you oughta kill off that red-haired chick, but leave the lalafell alive."
[19:40] <%Soloxius> Tobi is nearly spitting in anger.
[19:40] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Yes, yes, that makes so much sense, Teruo.
[19:40] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) You've cracked the case. I'm secretly evil! Oh no!
[19:40] <%Varna> Teruo laughs, though his expression is one of seriousness, not amusement.
[19:41] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Get your head outta your ass and tell me: what the fuck is your problem?
[19:41] <%Varna> (Teruo) Ain't you figured that out yet?
[19:42] <%Varna> (Teruo) I'm a walkin' problem, kid. Been that way since I was younger'n you. Why you think they had me in the box?
[19:42] <%Varna> (Teruo) But if ya think I'm bein' unfair...
[19:42] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) No, you- argh! No! What the fuck is your problem with me?
[19:42] <%Varna> Teruo motions with two fingers, in challenge.
[19:42] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Is it the voidtongue thing?
[19:43] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Is it because I took a year or more poring over books to learn how to speak the language of a race I find utterly fascinating? Is that it? Because sometimes I like to talk to them in their own language?
[19:43] <%Soloxius> (this is great btw)
[19:43] <%Eusine> (There can only be one pugilist)
[19:43] <%Soloxius> (haven't gotten to be Actually Mad Tobi yet)
[19:44] <%Varna> (Teruo) Shut the fuck up already, shortstack! Yer itchin' to punch me right now, aren't ya? Then show me what you got! Lemme see what I saw in ya back there again!
[19:44] <%Eusine> (Oh boy here we go)
[19:45] <%Volmise> (FIGBHT FIGHT FIGHT)

[19:45] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Fuck yeah I'm itchin' to punch you!
[19:45] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) ...but why the fuck do you want me to punch you?
[19:45] <%Soloxius> His anger calms from a boiling rage to a simmering irritation.
[19:46] <%Varna> Teruo grins, winding into an obvious attack stance.

[20:05] <%Soloxius> Tobi goes for the tackle, and misses... getting swiped in the process. He appears to be... really irritated by this.

[20:05] <~Kafei> (I wasn't applying heat up properly... I'm gonna need to make that a status_
[20:05] <~Kafei> )*
[20:06] <%Varna> (Probably be way easier, yeah)
[20:06] <%Varna> (Then you can just apply and forget)
[20:06] <~Kafei> (Yeah)
[20:07] <%Varna> (Teruo) Get SERIOUS!
[20:07] <%Varna> (Power Dunk, Predatory Intent)
[20:07] <~Kafei> Power Dunk (Decisive Strikes) - 14 AP, 75%. [P]140 (x1.5). Lifts a foe and then smashes them into the ground with extraordinary might. Exploit: Accuracy becomes 100%. (3TP/1E)

[20:10] <%Soloxius> Tobi gasps for breath like a gaping fish.
[20:11] <~Kafei> (I shoulda maybe went with a 0.25 atk gmod, haha)
[20:11] <~Kafei> (Oh well)
[20:11] <%Varna> (probably, but hindsight etc)
[20:11] <%Varna> (Teruo) Geez... thought I got ya more riled up than that.
[20:12] <%Varna> He holds a hand out to Tobi.
[20:12] <%Varna> (Teruo) Sorry kid.
[20:12] <%Soloxius> Tobi slaps the hand away with a scowl, even as he wheezes.
[20:12] <%Soloxius> He staggers upright and backs away.
[20:12] <%Varna> Teruo doesn't flinch, retracting his hand.
[20:12] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Fhhhuck... you... Ter..uooo.
[20:12] <%Varna> (Teruo) Heheh. Yeah, there it is.
[20:13] <%Varna> (Teruo) Ya got guts.
[20:13] <~Kafei> (Cerylia) (via linkpearl) ...The hell? What message?
[20:13] <%Soloxius> After another minute, Tobi has enough of his breath back to speak coherently. He still scowls furiously.
[20:13] <%Eusine> (Ooh)
[20:14] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) What the everloving fuck- oh.
[20:14] <%Varna> (Teruo) So lemme break it to ya. I ain't really think you got anythin' to do with what happened ta- eh?
[20:14] <%Soloxius> He pulls out the linkpearl.
[20:15] <%Soloxius> He looks like he's about to talk into it, but reconsiders, punching the linkpearl towards Teruo's midsection. He deposits the linkpearl and storms off, gathering his things.
[20:15] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) Talk to her yourself, asshole. Knock yourself out. This isn't over.
[20:15] <%Varna> Teruo takes the linkpearl, actually surprised this time.
[20:16] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) I don't give a shit what your fucking reasoning is, I do not like you now.
[20:16] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) I did. Before this.
[20:16] <%Soloxius> (Tobi) But now? Fuck off.
[20:16] <%Varna> He smirks.
[20:16] <%Varna> (Teruo) Aight. Anytime you wanna try again, you just gimme a time and place.
[20:16] <%Soloxius> He hoists his things and walks out of the room, holding up his middle finger as a goodbye.
[20:17] <%Varna> Teruo keeps an eye on him as he exits, then looks down at the linkpearl in his hands.
[20:18] <%Varna> (Teruo) (Guess he was serious. I'll be damned. Ah well, worked out well enough, anyway. Wish he'da taken it more serious, but lookin' like there'll be time for that later.)
[20:19] <%Varna> (Teruo) (->Cerylia) You gotta be kiddin' me if you missed that chicken scratch.
[20:19] <~Kafei> There's a moment of awkward silence.
[20:20] <~Kafei> (Cerylia) (via linkpearl) ...Who is-- wait, I recognize that voice. Why the hell are you in this linkshell?
[20:22] <%Varna> (Teruo) (->Cerylia) Eh, forget it. You talkin' in here is all I needed ta know, really. Hope yer not off gettin' turned into more kindsa forest vermin.
[20:25] <~Kafei> (Cerylia) (via linkpearl) Very funny, asshole. I was trying to have a bath, if you must know. Now, let's get one thing straight: we're not friends, so do me a favor, and don't contact me unless you go info about my dear ol' dad's whereabouts, kay?
[20:26] <~Kafei> (got*)
[20:26] <%Varna> (Teruo) (->Cerylia) You got it, lady. Do me a favor and lemme know if ya find 'im yerself, though.
[20:28] <~Kafei> (Cerylia) (via linkpearl) Whatever. Tell the shorty that I got his message, if that was indeed him, and also tell him it's a bit creepy to carve messages into the floor. Later.
[20:30] <%Varna> (Teruo) Heh.
[20:30] <%Varna> Teruo pockets the linkpearl, taking a moment to look around and consider what to do next. Not long after, he shrugs, and begins training on one of the dummies.
[20:32] <~Kafei> I think we can call that good, then.
[20:32] <%Varna> Seems like it!
[20:32] <%Soloxius> that was fun
[20:32] <%Eusine> Not for Tobi
[20:32] <%Varna> That didn't go QUITE as planned, but it's better this way
[20:33] <%Soloxius> things are going to be tense on tobi's side re: teruo for a while i think
[20:33] <%Varna> As they should be
[20:33] <~Kafei> I really couldn't resist being an asshole in regards to making Cerylia not answer.
[20:33] <%Varna> I will say I was surprised she actually did
[20:34] <%Varna> I had considered that she would, but didn't expect it
[20:34] <~Kafei> Well, her linkshell is now yours.
[20:35] <%Varna> Out of curiousity, how much would that Blaze Tackle have hit for?
[20:35] <~Kafei> Let's see...
[20:35] <%Eusine> Probably not much
[20:35] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo took 2401 HP damage /<>/
[20:35] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo was defeated. /<>/
[20:35] <%Varna> I feel like that might have ended the fight YEP
[20:35] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo took 1640 HP damage /<>/
[20:35] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo was defeated. /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> (Er
[20:36] <%Eusine> (That's not right)
[20:36] <~Kafei> ~1200
[20:36] <%Soloxius> lmao
[20:36] <~Kafei> Wouldn't have been enough to KO you either way
[20:36] <%Varna> Oh wow
[20:36] <%Varna> If it HAD hit Teruo would have had ~100 hp left though
[20:36] <%Soloxius> this would have gone much differently if tobi'd hit with that blaze tackle
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo recovered 9999 HP /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo recovered 999 MP /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Teruo recovered 999 AP /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Tobi recovered 9999 HP /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Tobi recovered 999 MP /<>/
[20:36] <~Kafei> \<>\ Tobi recovered 999 AP /<>/
[20:37] <%Varna> Yeah I think
[20:37] <%Varna> Even with the counter heal
[20:37] <%Varna> Eruption skillchain would have ended it
[20:37] <%Soloxius> he'd have gotten on a soapbox for a minute
[20:37] <~Kafei> Eruption (Skillchain Effect) - Free, [100%]. [P]30. A concussive blast forms from the force of the impact. Foe suffers light non-elemental damage, a -10 CT loss and becomes exposed. (1E/!Crit)
[20:37] <~Kafei> Nah, eruption wouldn't have killed you after a heal
[20:37] <%Varna> Really?
[20:37] <%Varna> Oh it's non-elemental
[20:37] <%Soloxius> counter heal?
[20:37] <~Kafei> Blaze Tackle (Martial Magic) - 18 MP, 90%. [P]130. An all-out burning tackle that disregards consequences. Recovery is very slow, however, delaying the next turn by CT equal to Speed x 3. Skillchain: Detonation. (3TP/1E)
[20:38] <~Kafei> Detonation would've
[20:38] <~Kafei> :P
[20:38] <%Varna> O..h
[20:38] <%Varna> Sol said Eruption lol
[20:38] <~Kafei> lol
[20:38] <%Eusine> Blaze Tackle is actually extremely strong. I take back what I said
[20:38] <%Varna> Also @Sol I have hp-drain on fight
[20:38] <%Soloxius> woops
[20:39] <~Kafei> Though, to be honest, I think Detonation would trigger before a counter
[20:39] <~Kafei> So moot point
[20:39] <%Eusine> Mmm, it's a "chain" after all
[20:39] <%Soloxius> how much damage would Detonation have done, out of curiosity
[20:39] <%Varna> Then it's a good thing that >78.8% {3.94%} vs. 79... Evaded!
[20:39] <%Eusine> lol
[20:40] <%Eusine> Amazing that wasn't a nick even
[20:40] <%Varna> SQUEEKED BY
[20:40] <%Soloxius> right?
[20:40] <~Kafei> lol
[20:40] <~Kafei> Any time you see "evaded!" it only happened because of your evade stat.
[20:40] <%Varna> That's one of those crazy 2d fighter ULTRA -> NARROW EVADE -> COUNTER ULTRA moments
[20:41] <%Eusine> Oh you certainly know all about those I reckon
[20:41] <%Varna> You would think so, but I barely play those anymore
[20:41] <%Eusine> Or one of those frame perfect tech hits then counter ultra
[20:42] <~Kafei> I actually do think it works better for dev that Teruo won, though, so I'm glad he did
[20:42] <%Varna> Yeah, I'd say .2% off is frame perfect counter worthy
[20:42] <%Varna> It'll definitely make things interesting moving forward
[20:42] <~Kafei> It caused Tobi to get SUPER pissed instead of just regular pissed, hahaha
[20:43] <%Eusine> DB won't be happy you two are fighting!
[20:43] <%Varna> What's great is he stormed out before Teruo could offer any apology
[20:44] <~Kafei> This is exactly the sort of thing we needed in the group, I think.
[20:44] <~Kafei> A bit of interpersonal conflict to spice things up.
[20:47] <%Soloxius> the way i see it, tobi figures he was maybe about to apologize, or try to explain, but his head is basically just
[20:47] <%Soloxius> hmm
[20:47] <%Soloxius> 1s
[20:47] <%Varna> PISSED, BLAAAAH!
