[good evening. here is a whiny Yell:]

Uuuuugggghhh, I can't take it anymooore!!!

I feel so crazy!! I was bedridden for a about a week because of my Faun changes, and was weakening before that too... and I'm finally done changing I think, and now I just—! Everything makes me feel—[um]—on edge! [yeah. not untrue!] And I realized, since coming here... and even back home, a little bit... It's been a long time since I've done something to burn off that kind of energy...

So!! Someone fight me!! I prefer martial or melee or whatever you call it, but I'll do anything! I need to do it soon before I just attack someone I regret attacking! And I need to get used to my new cow legs... so maybe another Faun male!! [FOR MYSTERIOUS REASONS, THAT SOUNDS THE MOST APPEALING. of course, Fauns optional; Gon is desperate. and reckless. sorry, Killua.]

And yes, I have a Bond, but he's already been helping me so much! Even though he could fight me best, he needs a break.

—Oh. This is Gon!!! Anyway! Fight me! Please! Thanks!

[ Oh, dear. Gon really is in a state, isn't he? Reynir puzzles over the post for a few minutes before he replies. ]

Well, I... really really don't want to fight you, but what if I set up, like, an obstacle course? With lots of tough challenges, so you can get all the energy out and beat... it, not a person? I used to help sometimes come up with stuff like that for festivals and um, you know, sheep shows and stuff, so I've got some ideas.

[ Then, with a tinge of dread: ]

Or does it... have to be violent?

[ Is this going to happen to him? Sure, he's been feeling a little more restless than usual, recently, but certainly he hasn't felt the urge to just start punching people... ]

[freecshow]

Reynir!!

[Gon's tone is suddenly Not Frustrated (even sunny and pleased!).]

Aw, you don't have to do all that...

—Cuz yeah, it has to be violent!

[so matter of factly...]

Obstacle courses and stuff are fun, but training never feels the same as fighting.

[braidmage]

Okay. I - don't really understand that, but I believe you.

[ And now, just a little bit of his brain is going to be devoted to worrying that this is going to happen to him in a few weeks or months when he catches up to whatever stage of transformation Gon is in... ]

But what if you get hurt? Like, seriously hurt?

[ His voice is strained with urgent worry. Clearly, Reynir's not used to fighting being an everyday part of life... ]

[freecshow]

[Gon hasn't head of aggression in Fauns, so he hasn't particularly attributed this behavior to it... it seems in line with his less peaceful natures that are ever present, so!]

I heal fast, don't worry! And I won't let myself get too seriously hurt; it's part of my vows to my Bonded! And also just something I'm serious about working on in general as a person, [Gon adds hastily.]

But I can't change who I am 100%.

[Rikku recognizes the name--she's pretty sure Killua's brought him up at some point or other in their conversations at the Coven during classes.

That said, she can't help but ask the obvious (to her) question:]

Does it have to be a fight? You could maybe try taking a really long run or something to burn off the energy.

[freecshow]

I do that kind of stuff all the time!! As it is, I already train for a couple hours a day, and it's not the same! Fighting is totally a league of its own... The interactive element is fun, the challenge, and how you can get to know another person based on how they fight, in some ways—like when something unpredictable happens! And the soreness afterwards feels really good, but it's totally different from when you train!

It's a super engaging thrill! I miss it!

[al_bhed]

Well, I guess if you put it that way...

If there aren't any other takers, I could fight you? I used to battle fiends all the time back home.

[wylderrant]

I'm a faun female, but I have some skill with a sword.

[freecshow]

Oh jeez! Ugh, what the heck, I'm so sorry! For some reason, my brain just thought of the horns, so I thought male, but of course it doesn't even work like that here, and I like fighting women too!!

Oooh... That sounds like a fun challenge! Maybe a little risky; I know my Bonded would get mad if I got myself all cut up because I got reckless and excited...

What kind of sword do you like??

[wylderrant]

I do have antlers, interestingly enough.

That said, I'm fond of the rapier, myself. Nice and quick.

lmao did you mean for me to be able to see this too or did you forget that I could?

[freecshow]

I accepted that you might find it and decided thats ok!!!! I may be an idiot but I have a good memory Lol

What does lmao mean again

Also Killua dont you feel that way too sometimes!! Youre so good at fighting

[killuwatt]

it means Laughing Meanly At yOu

hmm i guess it could happen, but not usually. i like sparring but I'm not crazy about fighting either. doesn't matter to me

I'm happy to kick ur ass if you want tho lol

[fairyherder]

[ so most of what Gon describes resonates with how Jin Ling feels too, jittery and a bit on the edge. ]

You mean like sparring?

[freecshow]

Sure!

[Gon isn't being all that specific. which is bad.]

Honestly, I'm down for anything, but sparring is probably best so I don't break my vows. I can get pretty carried away if I get into it...

[fairyherder]

Vows? What Vows?

[ Jin Ling just wants to spar with someone who isn't his father or uncle, to be honest. ]

[ranyaulf]

Cow legs? You're fighting people with legs? That sounds pretty brutal!

( he's teasing, btw, but also who would attack people cow limbs...? )

But hey, if it means it'll keep you from doing something reckless? I could try!

[freecshow]

Huh!?

[sorry, Reynir—Gon is too stupid to catch your joke. but moving right along!]

Mmm, try? Well... Do you have experience fighting? I would feel bad if I took up an offer like that from someone who doesn't really do that kinda thing, now that I think about it...

[Gon why didn't you think of that first]

[ranyaulf]

( no... precious child... at least it's funny to ranulf )

Oh, of course I do! I'd be a pretty boring laguz if I didn't know how to fight. Problem is, I'm used to wielding fang and claw. Not a sword or gun or what-have-you.

( but he hums in thought... )

I've been practicing a little bit of magic that might be a good test, if you're willing to help in your own special way!

[finesseblade]

[ He heard the word "fight" and was summoned. ]

How good is your balance on those new legs of yours, and can I expect a real fight out of you?

voice

[freecshow]

[Gon's too lazy to switch format... or rather he's too rattled with adrenaline to type reliably. Gon's tone, however, sounds incredulous.]

I don't know!! Can you expect a real fight out of anyone who has to learn how to walk and stuff again?? How can I answer that when I haven't even done it yet!! [Gon pls contain your frustration. this stranger has nothing to do with all that.]

I'm guessing probably not yet; being stuck in bed for a week also definitely means I backslid on my training.

Anyways, this isn't a competition. It's violence for the sake of violence!

[finesseblade]

[ Alright, fine, he's switching to voice. Mostly so the sharpness of his tone comes through. ]

Your spirit is admirable, but slow down. Do you want to learn something from the experience, or not? You wouldn't be the only faun on brand new legs I've dueled.

You can make those hooves work for you instead of against you, if you know how.

voice; un: styx

[tothemetal]

[wow, this kid definitely sounds frustrated. and what was with everyone being sidelined by their monster changes lately? it really made his heart ache for both this total stranger and the friends he knows who've suffered the same issue, so of course he has to pipe up with the only solution he knows to give.]

You just gotta kick somebody's ass for a while, yeah? Could wail on me for a while if you wanted.

[that he's offering himself up to be curbstomped by someone with literal cow legs now just doesn't register to Styx as a bad idea. if he could be useful to somebody then it's fine! he's tough.]

[freecshow]

[baby himbo recognizes adult himbo energy, so immediately, there's a vibe. however,]

No way! It's not the same! I mean—well.

Okay, yes! I'd love to just beat the snot out of someone. But it doesn't feel good or okay if the someone I'm fighting against is so passive! I'd want you to hit me back too, with all your might!! I want bruises for days!

[tothemetal]

[he can understand that - not on a personal level, but in a sort of peripheral way. while his friend at home was more than happy to break literally anyone who gave him an excuse in half, Styx had always noticed he seemed to get more worked up over people who really fought back.]

I mean, s'not like you're doing it 'cause I'm not ok with it, yeah? So you don't gotta feel bad or nothing. Used to do it for guys at home all the time...uh, 's been a while but I'm still probably pretty good at it.

[yes, he sure could take a beating. he's not proud of that so much as of the fact that he helped out so many people by doing so, although he also gets if maybe that's not what Gon's looking for here.]

Don't think I could actually fight fight you though, sorry. Makes me feel bad enough when I hurt somebody by accident so I've never done it on purpose, haha. Probably pretty shit at it.
