1) look i know it's 3 am but i really want to talk about dinosaurs... help me out

2) if i started a story with 'that 3-year-old totally deserved it,' would you listen?

3) the date went pretty well until she asked me what i did for a living.
at least i got free breadsticks out of it.

4) [Text him!]

2.

Shindou. Don't humiliate toddlers when you teach them opening sequences.

[protential]

why not

sometimes a swift kick in the pants is what's needed.

[conflict_to]

They hold their stones better.

[protential]

jsyk this kid committed a crime against my person. my actions were justified.

[conflict_to]

Children like to play with ramen. It's stringy.

[protential]

how did you know it was ramen?

for that matter, how did you know it was a go lesson?

are you stalking me again????

1/2

[conflict_to]

Of course not!

[conflict_to]

Your laces are untied again.

[protential]

what the fuck

it's like you're trying to make me paranoid

this is psychological warfare!

[conflict_to]

I don't gain anything from your predictable habits.

[protential]

i'm no more predictable than you are.

[conflict_to]

You can't make this into a competition.

[protential]

it's too early to be a sore loser, touya.

[conflict_to]

...did they schedule you for a match tomorrow on short notice?

You only egg me on like this when you're nervous before a game. It won't help.

[protential]

it's not an official match.

and you're wrong, it does help. i used to play one of my amateur friends before important games, just to calm down. i'd tease her about stuff to take my mind off of it. she hasn't been available because of school, so you're the next best thing. consider it an honor.

[conflict_to]

That's nonsense. Ogata-sensei put it best: a difference of nerves is marginal. What it comes down to is a difference of skill.

You can lose the same no matter whom you talk to.

[protential]

believe whatever you want. it's a technique that works for me, and that's what matters. my opponent is going to be looking for cracks to exploit. no matter how small.

[conflict_to]

Ochi?

[protential]

...

you think i'd be nervous about ochi?

[conflict_to]

You should be nervous about Ochi. Isn't he still ranked above you?

[protential]

pretty much everyone is still ranked above me. you know that.

it's not ochi. i can't tell you who it is. just give me your moral support, okay?

[conflict_to]

I respectfully decline.

[protential]

wowwwwww

what's your problem

[conflict_to]

A last-minute game. An anonymous contender. Nerves and secrecy. Shindou, be reasonable.

None of this is professional. You can't ask me to support that. You shouldn't even think to.
