captain brigand: im awake yeah

[mapsio]

Primrose: sooo, rough time huh?
Primrose: are you okay?

[kiddatheart]

captain brigand: dunno
captain brigand: things still kinda seem fuzzy?
captain brigand: like what happened doesnt seem real

[mapsio]

Primrose: ...yeah, that feels about right.
Primrose: Heat Soldier has a soft room if you wanna come over?
Primrose: Even if that might be too forward of me.

[kiddatheart]

captain brigand: heat room?
captain brigand: is that like
captain brigand: a hot room?

[mapsio]

Primrose: I wish we had a heat room.
Primrose: It's a room full of soft things after bad games.
Primrose: We also have a training room....where we punch things when we're mad.

[kiddatheart]

captain brigand: both sound kinda good right now
captain brigand: actually

[ also i can totally read ]

[mapsio]

Primrose: Offer is open. If you want.

[kiddatheart]

[ there's a bit of a pause before there's a response ]

captain brigand: yeah
captain brigand: sure ill take it
captain brigand: see you in like five?

[mapsio]

Primrose: I'll see you then.

[kiddatheart]

[ SOON ENOUGH

knock knock?? ]

[mapsio]

[ Opening the door!! ]

Hey.

[kiddatheart]

Hey, Prim.

[ he seems a bit subdued, but still happy to see her ]

[mapsio]

Soft room or punch room first?

[ LOOKING HIM UP AND DOWN. ]

[kiddatheart]

[ he's bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet, wound up, and one of his hands keeps straying to his legs, making sure they're still alright ]

Punch room, I think.

[mapsio]

[ Looking down at his legs. And look. Listen. She's going to just step forward and hug him. EVERYONE? Hugs. Can't escape her. ]

[kiddatheart]

[ he freezes slightly before just relaxing into it??? ]





[ very quietly: ] Thanks.

[mapsio]

[ Nod nod. Smallest squeeze. ]

I know the look of someone who just experienced their first bad game. Do you want to talk about it while we punch things?

[kiddatheart]

Yeah, let's go punch things.

[mapsio]

[ Letting him go and leading him to a room..somewhere in HSS. When they pass through the main room, there is a PILE OF MATTRESSES? If there are members of HSS sleeping on them then they can just quietly pass them by until they get to the training room

A fairly large training room which is largely empty. Off to the side is a storage space for mats. A console at the entrance allows control over the aspects of the room: training dummies and targets (moving or otherwise) can be created, and the terrain can be changed, though nothing more can be created nor is it as flexible or expansive as the vid room. The targets all look like rubber-suited monsters of the week. ]

Here we are, the Heart Solider training room.

[kiddatheart]

[ looking around at all it and nodding ]

Looks pretty rad, honestly.

[mapsio]

[ Setting up a few things and dragging some mats out. ]

We have an arcade too, if you want to blow off steam on games.

[kiddatheart]

Oh shit, forreal? I'll definitely want to hit that up later too!

[ but seeing her drag mats out and hurrying over to help her ]

[mapsio]

I am being super serious. We have an arcade in town too, but...I like our personal one.

[ Setting up all of the dummies too. And making sure the terrain is neutral. ]

Let me know when you're ready to start?

[kiddatheart]

[ hopping on his legs, cracking his knuckles ]

Yeah, bring it.

[mapsio]

[ K, DUMMIES ON. Imagine they're doing the dummy thing. ]

[ Prim is super quick to land a punch on one. ]

[kiddatheart]

[ there is very much no finesse to brig's fighting, just rushing in, tackling, and landing punches ]

[mapsio]

[ THAT IS SO RECKLESS. ]

[ well that's okay. prim isn't 100% the best at hand to hand. but she's been working on it. ]

You know...I suppose it might be a little funny in hindsight. That button pressing tournament was my first bad game. Ah, I should mention...the first run of it. That was a re-run.

[kiddatheart]

They didn't get enough of their kicks the first time, did they?

[ DROPS ELBOW ON DUMMY'S FACE ]

[mapsio]

They never do.

[ KNEEING A DUMMY. ]

This will keep happening.

[kiddatheart]

Just freakin' great.

[ lands one strong punch on his ]

[mapsio]

And I'm going to be [PUNCH]


...really upset because this place keeps hurting people I care about.

[kiddatheart]

I'm right there with ya!

[ CURB STOMPS

but breathing pretty heavily once he's done ]

Man, feel like I should have some kinda weapon to fight with.

[mapsio]

Oh? Like what do you think?

[kiddatheart]

Something big and heavy!

[mapsio]

[ ....hm ]

A hammer? Sledgehammer?

[kiddatheart]

Oooh, yeah! That sounds good!

[mapsio]

.......though do I even have anything like that? I know you can't use my heart weapon....
