Who else? I'm talking about Rufus.

[frostythehitman]

He's a kid, huh?

[ercnerd]

Didn't you know? He's a tyke by Haros standards.

Speaking of kids, were those your teammates?

[frostythehitman]

They were. They came to see me the night before I was slated for execution. I figured I might as well give away whatever I had to the living.

I didn't realize I could've kept them for myself on the dead side.

[ercnerd]

[That's rough.]

At least you were willing to part with them . . .

[frostythehitman]

[ raises an eyebrow. what does that mean? ]

[ercnerd]

I'm saying that it was better than getting robbed.

[That would've been truly unfortunate.]

Still . . . your luck is really something.

[frostythehitman]

[ he huffs a bitter little laugh ]

You have no idea.

[ercnerd]

. . . No one's lucky all the time. But, if it's that bad, you'll just have to create some good luck of your own.

[frostythehitman]

Trust me, I've been trying.

[ which is a great segue into the next memshare, by request!! ]

[ercnerd]

[Wow.]

You . . .

[Sieghart, who's something of an adrenaline junkie, homes in on one question and one question only once the memory clears away, leaving behind just Bucky and his misfortune.]

Did you win?

[frostythehitman]

[ wow. bucky can't help but laugh--like, genuinely fully laugh. ]

Yeah. Of course I did.

[ercnerd]

Yeah? Then that bear was the one with bad luck.

[frostythehitman]

That wasn't luck. That was just a matter of skill.

[ercnerd]

On your end, of course. I'm saying it was the bear's bad luck for encountering you.

[frostythehitman]

[ huffs a small laugh ] A fight's the only time I get to pass on my bad luck to someone else.

[ercnerd]

It's too bad there hasn't been anything to fight here. Even my body is starting to feel restless from having nothing to do.

[frostythehitman]

If you wanted something to fight, you could've said something earlier.

[ercnerd]

Is that an offer?

[frostythehitman]

I thought that was obvious.

...

I mean yes. In case you missed that too.

[ercnerd]

I know what you meant.

[Contrary to that, he leans further back into his seat.]

I'm not much of one for sparring, though. I prefer a fight with clear stakes.

[frostythehitman]

Fair enough. Gives you something to fight for. A practice fight's never gonna match the intensity of the real thing.

[ercnerd]

Oh, you get it.

Mock fights have nothing on the real deal. Moreover, a genius like me doesn't need practice.

[frostythehitman]

Wow, what a real modest guy you are.

[ercnerd]

When it comes to battle prowess, I'm a hundred percent there.
