aight be right there

[No further questions, sir.

It takes Beat only a few minutes to get there with a speed boost from soundsurf. With music playing loudly from his headphones, he approaches the guy standing by the dream board.]


Yo, you's the one askin' for a beat down?

[Nope. What he might see is a very confusing first for him. Welcome to the battle screen where everyone is black and white!]

This here is a battle! See that little heart of yours around here? That's your SOUL, the very culmination of your being! Usually, you move it around to avoid attacks, but you've said you wanted to be attacked for something. Got things straight so far?

Name's Beat.

[His introduction is said with a grin, but it quickly changes to that of confusion at what Denji says. Beat didn't even take the time to read through whatever anyone else said, immediately distracted by the possibility of food.]

Why'd they think it's some kinda kink? All's you was askin' was to get your ass handed to ya.

[Said as if this request wasn't weird in the slightest!]
your_best_friend: (Um)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2023-01-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Why, yes, that double-colored SOUL is intriguing! Very, VERY intriguing! This is the first time he's ever saw a SOUL like this. But Flowey doesn't allow himself to be distracted right now.]

...I'll take that as a yes! Now... Don't move.

[Suddenly, a thin red box as tall as the movement area with a red exclamation point and a warning sound appears directly over the position of the heart. A vine shoots up and encompasses the entire area of where the warning area was a second later. It's up to Denji if he wants to dodge it or not.]

That just makes me even more worried!

What did you do to get torn apart?

Please don't fight!!! If you get too hurt I'll have to patch you up. Whatever you're trying to test must have another method, right?!

[ Denji why you like this... ]

Why are you asking for your ass to be kicked though.

Usually it's, you know, the other way around. Not even in manga do the protags say "yes, kick my ass!" because that's weird.

So are you going to fight back? Because this feels kind of weird otherwise.

I'll still hit you, but I might feel bad doing it if you don't defend yourself or something.

dont worry like 5 min with Moxxie and youll have encyclopedic knowledge forcibly shoved in your brain if your tinitis doesnt tune him out first

anyway idc if you have or need an excuse but if ur not feeling confident in fighting then dont worry about it, I can make sure u still have work with us

[What he can do, huh? Okay, Beat wants to see whatever this is then.]

Aight. If tha's what you wanna do, le's do this!

[And that is about all the heads up he gives, before he adjust his stance and immediately delivers a punch aimed right at Denji's gut. No dreamotion for now. This was just a test after all, right?]
