week 5 - thursday night slumber party

[crazily]

[ So here they are, the three shady stooges... Break has been dutifully working on a Hyperion Yellow (tm) scarf for Rhys, but he's actually almost done by this point. And so he's also getting a bit bored. Maybe they just need something to break up the night, because knowing these three idiots, they've probably been like sitting quietly in different corners trying to not acknowledge that they're having a slumber party. ]

Ehh... It's not even that late yet, is it~? Thursdays are really the worst.

[ Because, like, murder, but also because they're so long? Like Break doesn't sleep much anyways, but sleeping on Thursdays nights is even harder. He'll ask Gilbert to write down his knitting numbers for him, but then moves to sit crosslegged on the bed like he's not a middle-aged man... ]

I need to take a break from knitting, so~. What should we do~?

[ oh, that's a danger laugh if rhys ever heard one and he looks up from his candy to shoot a bewildered look at break. then he pops some candy into his mouth.

through a mouth full of milk duds: ]

Okay. [ then to gilbert: ] So, old blind guy versus walking fish. Who do you put your money on, Gilbert?

[ just ignores break completely, apparently. ]

[stupidly]

[RHYS, WHY.]

Er... [He may seem like he's hesitating because he's trying to figure out which one might come out on top, but no. He's just hesitating because he's not sure just how much skill Rhys knows Break has when it comes to mcstabbins...]

...Well, if it's endurance, I think Undyne could outlast anyone here.

[ANYTHING ELSE THOUGH, he'd honestly give it to Break. He's seen what a dang cheater he is in battle many times over the years.]

[crazily]

[ Break flashes a peace sign, since he knows exactly what Gilbert is thinking here, really. Gilbert is the person that's likely seen the most of Break's skill over the years too... ]

Anything else, though, and I would win. Agility is my advantage, so I would disable her before she ever had a chance to strike. ♥

[jackhole]

[ you two and your secrets. rhys meanwhile just keeps on keeping on and stares at break for a really long moment. he's definitely considering undyne vs break. that's a thing he's doing. ]

How would you disable her? She's a fish literally out of water. I don't... I mean, she has spears, I guess? Oh my god, she's like Aquaman. Does she have the powers of the ocean? Oh my god.

[ there's that whirr again as he pulls up her profile on his eye, of course. ]

[stupidly]

[The old men have lived long enough to see a lot of shit... Except most of the shit Gilbert has seen has been directly because of Break. THANKS, BREAK.]

If she had powers like that, it would be on the profile, wouldn't it?

[He's looking over in Rhys's direction at the sound of the eyeball whirring...]

But if it's agility, Break still has the edge, I think.

[crazily]

[ Break has at least learned that when Rhys does on a tangent that he doesn't understand, he's really never going to. So. He just moves on smoothly and holds up a finger idly as if that helps make his point. ]

Two things. One, her reach is predictable. Her spears are [ insert a measurement of Undyne's spear here that's weirdly accurate for a blind guy ] long, so anything shorter than that and she'll have difficulty defending. The distance of the spear and the versatility of the two ends is the advantage that it has. Eliminating both is the goal.

[ He raises another finger ]

Second, she's honorable. As nice as such a thing is in theory, in a fight to the death, it's a weakness. If she doesn't perceive it as a death match, then her guard will be down. That's all that's necessary. Regardless of what she is, she has a head. I would say that cutting it off is a guarantee for success.

[ stop break ]
