I mean if you want to we could do that I can be very menacing if I wanna be you could be the knight in shining armor for him hed swoon so hard neither of you would know what to do
[Dave could actually possibly kick Akira's ass. Jury's out on that.]
never really talked to a ghost before usually if somethin wants to talk to you it will just make it happen
[Or it'll just want to kill you, and it'll try to make that happen.]
IDK dude what if you get like SO MENACING that I wind up needing to be saved too? Then it'll kinda backfire and I dunno how that'd look if I'm just shivering in my mag boots like some sorta dweeeeeeeeb
[Possibly. He can stop time and there's not much you can do to get around that unless you get one good hit in. You two should wrastle.]
Screw it I'm gonna make a weegee board
We're gonna get a talk mano to mano and settle this shit up like men
dude I'd let you win would you really be that scared if you knew that
[Come on, Ryuji. You haven't even seen him at his scariest yet. ):
But, yes, Akira wants to wrassle everyone.]
is that how thats spelled
yeah sure I'll help you with it maybe we can finally tell the ghosts to fuck off like its not like we have any control over whats going on so they might as well just get used to us bein here with them
Considerin' we've already established the only way I'd kick your butt is if you pretend that I'm kickin' your butt, then yeah.
Although it's kinda convoluted. Maybe a more direct approach would be better. I'll work on it. Your confidence is gonna stick with me though. I'll keep it close to my spleen. That's where that stuff comes from, right? Gall? Hahahah
Uhh
I dunno. I think it's weegee? That's how it sounds when you say it. Like Waluigi. But less bizarro. Actually, more bizarro. WALUIGI'S HAUNTED MANSION. HELL YEAH.
Either way, if you're gonna be menacing? Those are definitely the things you should bare your fangs out and just pump your chest all macho man like. It'll work. Maybe.
ah man youve already given up? but I guess thats fair
dude I dont fucking know what the hell is a spleen
[Ryo is definitely the brains of this pair.]
I dont know what youre talking about anymore who is waluigi is that supposed to be luigi??
[Those games definitely exist in his universe, but Akira had never really had access to too many games systems growing up. So he knows about Mario and Luigi from cultural osmosis, but the niche Mario universe characters escape him.]
oh dont worry if we actually do see a ghost I'm gonna beat the shit out of it
I dunno either, I just like the way spleen sounds. I think it's somewhere near your stomach but maybe that's a question meant for someone waaaaay smarter than me. If it dies, you die, though. Pretty sure of that. Maybe.
[Guess who scraped by with a C- in biology?
This dude over here.]
Waluigi is like. Luigi's evil bro. You know how we all have evil bros? They walk around with mustaches or goatees and look like opposite us'es. That's just like, a universal fact dude
I dunno how you beat the shit out of a ghost though. Isn't their whole thing like... being translucent 'n shit?
[I now know everything about the spleen because I listened to a Sawbones episode about it today.
Anyways. Akira still doesn't know shit.]
maybe?? I am not likin the sound of that maybe how bout we try to keep all internal organs in tact just in case
[Akira's grades were about the same, tbh...]
uh cant say I've ever heard that I'm tryin to imagine you with an evil mustache and goatee and I dont know how I feel about that
they only want you to think you cant touch em bc if that was true how the hell would they be able to do anything to us?? nah its gotta be equal ground so you just gotta not fall for their tricks and punch em in the nose
[He's never fought a ghost, so he's applying demon logic here. Probably doesn't cross over as much as he wants it to.]
[Holy shit, I need to get on that podcast then. Time to learn about the body, I guess.
And Ryuji doesn't know anything about bodies either. Heh.]
Sounds like a pain in the ass. I'd have to face bleach or end up like one of those douchenozzles from the early 2000s that wear sunglasses backwards and wander around all like BROOOOO
Uh
Wait, would that actually be my evil twin
Wth
Yeah man I dunno punching something in the nose when it doesn't have a nose seems kinda futile. Maybe you need one of those ghostbuster vacuums to give em the good ole succ y'know
I didnt even think about that... haha yeah that would be your evil twin and then they would totally own that look and itd make it like 500x worse dont worry I'd be sure to punch him for ya
[That's what friends are for. Or, well, specifically for Akira it's mostly about punching things. He has a short list of skills.]
you dont know if they have noses or not you some kinda ghost expert or somethin
you really got ghost vacuums on the brain huh [He's thinking about Luigi's Mansion.] pretty sure we dont got those lyin around
[Oh, Ryuji... you haven't even seen the Devilman Run™ yet.]
well its an evil you though so if he was gonna do something evil to you or someone else then hell yeah I would
... I'd definitely feel bad about it though so theres that
oh uh okay then
[Ryuji, how dare you take advantage of Akira like this. He's the kinda guy who will totally take you at face value.]
well yeah if we wanted to do that there are a lot of people who could build somethin like that I think hm I wonder if we could convince ryo to make a ghost vacuum
no subject
Or maybe you should
Then I can swoop in like a big brawny meat shield and take the blow for him
Naaaaaaaah I'm just kiddin' I know what you mean
Anyway, if you know how to speak to ghosties, by all means dude pencil me in for that wicked ass seance
no subject
idk if he could recover from that
I mean if you want to we could do that
I can be very menacing if I wanna be
you could be the knight in shining armor for him
hed swoon so hard neither of you would know what to do
[Dave could actually possibly kick Akira's ass. Jury's out on that.]

Oh man.... you'd do that? You'd be able to punch someone that looks like me? For real?
As long as it's not me, I guess
Be nice to that other totally handsome guy though don't go too rough
[He's seen a few ghost movies, yeah.]
Totes an expert bro
I could write entire books on ghosties
Hm... yeah
Maybe we can get someone to engineer some vacuums
no subject
well
its an evil you though
so if he was gonna do something evil to you or someone else then hell yeah I would
... I'd definitely feel bad about it though so theres that
oh
uh
