[It's the end of the world as we know it, and Equius has a question. No, it has nothing to do with this Christmas nonsense, though Nepeta has already probably decorated the house and Black and Blue in festive Perigree's Eve and Christmas decorations to the point where he's a little nauseated but refraining from saying anything. What the travelers do to take their minds off the coming war so that they are rested and mentally prepared is their business.

No, this is an important question. One important enough to take time out of everyone's busy holiday schedule and discuss it right here and now. He wants answers, and so he's seated and brandishing a corn dog in one hand, an extremely serious look on his face.]

I would ask, humans, as this is purported to be a confection of your crafting, what the purpose of the naming conventions related to this object are. [He takes a bite, chews half as much as he should and swallows.] It is not that I find them distasteful. They are, to date, one of your better culinary creations to my think-pan. I do not, however, understand why you would call such a thing a ... what is it? Corn Dog.

This is not bark-beast meat. I have eaten bark-beast meat. It is much gamier than this. [Another bite. At least he isn't speaking with his mouth full.] And it is not what your species refers to as corn or maize. I think, perhaps, the meal used to create the breading is ground up from corn, but why not include the husk? It's perfectly good fiber.

And why would you fry a french man, and what does it have to do with potatoes? ... Thank you for your time.

[Inquiring minds want to know.]

[Oh dear did he just start something.]

In France. It's in another world.

... glob. Very well then. I will wait until one of these cannibals appear, punch them in the face and make sure they do not attempt to french fry anymore humans. We have few enough as is.

[Okay, this is hilarious but there might be French people here and he doesn't want them to get punched in the face becasue of him.]

As a human I appreciate the thought but they're not really cannibals. I was just messing with you.

...
...

[cough. The feed switches for a moment to audio. You can hear a piece of furniture dying a horrible death. It's quite loud. Very obvious. When the feed comes back on a moment later, however, Equius has already drawn a replacement and it looks as if nothing has happened. There might be a couple dots of blue blood on his knuckles.]

I see.

Uh... everything okay there buddy?

Everything is explicitly without difficulty or error, human. Why? What ever gave you the impression there was something amiss?

[Said in the tone of someone who doesn't want his moirail to kick his ass for trying to find a certain Mikazuki to kick his ass for this little joke.

Equius' temper =/= normal.]

I thought I heard something break! Could it be my imagination?

[Man he would so not mind getting the crap beaten out of him. He'll put up a fight though. Because fighting is fun.]/small>

Nothing has broken, human. [He cracks his knuckles.] As you can see, everything is normal. Your attempt at the sarcasm is noted. Quite humorous. Ha. Ha. Ha.

I invite you to make another joke. [Crack.]

[Yeah, he can totally see through your act. Sorry, Equius.

But the thing is, he isn’t bothered. If anything, the cracks just make him grin. It sure looks like this guy wants to punch his teeth out, and Mikazuki is happy to oblige. Escalating the situation it is!]

Sure. Your mom has a lazy eye.

[No one says he’s good at it.]

You are unaware of our procreative measures. However, I believe that this qualifies as what the humans refer to as the 'throwing of a gauntlet,' yes? What do you say...

The Arena, a half hour? I will wear what they call boxing gloves so I do not break your bones?

[He's exaggerating a little.]

That strong, are you?

[He smile is a little to happy to be considered sane.]

Okay! See you there!

...

[Oh glob. That look. He was sweating a little. Ok, keep it together Equius.]

We will address a couple stipulations when we meet, I think. I will see you soon.

[Don't worry, his battle craze is one hundred percent platonic.]

Sure. See ya!

[Action]

[By the time Equius arrives, Mikazuki will probably already be there. He lives in Thor, after all.]

[He's putting on his gloves as he comes into the ring. He can see the thor colors on the bracelet. There's actually a distinct possibility this boy is stronger than him, but that doesn't slow him. He is built like a body-builder and not prone to holding back one way or another, even if he's lost some of his 'breaks bows by pulling their strings' level strength in this world.

Tapping them together, he nods towards Mikazuki.]

First. This is purely platonic, yes?

[Mikazuki is of average height and build. He’s stronger compared to other humans, practices martial arts and is very good at beating people up - but his Asgard power is still at level one and he’s just as good at getting beaten up.

When he realizes just how big Equius is, his face breaks into a grin full of canines. Out of all the people he picked fight with this week, this one may be the biggest challenge and he’s a-okay with that! The stronger the opponent is, the better.

Platonic, though… what can he possibly mean by that? Mikazuki’s brow furrows in confusion as he tries to make sense of the question.

Wait. Does he mean - seriously?

He laughs.]

Dude, I’m not making advances at you. This fight is one hundred percent platonic!

[Did he really just have to say that? Whatever this guy is, they must have interesting lives.]

[He nodded and tapped his gloves together again once.] Good. There have been misunderstandings due to cultural differences in the past. Very well then, until one of us says yield. Please do not allow long-term injury.

[And with that, he stepped up closer, rotating his arm once before the first punch was sent forward. If this man was in Thor, Equius was going to forego love taps or light strikes. He was either fast enough to dodge more attacks than most or strong enough to take it. Equius wasn't going to be holding back.]

[He nodded, pleased. It's a good thing Equius had no intetion of holding back - Mikazuki would be offended if anyone went easy on him!

He quickly stepped to the side and ducked to avoid the punch. Then, he twisted around, sending a power filled high kick.]

[High, high he could avoid, though it was a damned narrow thing and he could practically count the treads on Mikazuki's shoe when it came up. He growled in mild excitement, stepping back and then forward. He kept his stance fairly solid, going for quick jabs to the torso for the moment. They were testing each other for now, getting a feel for each other's defenses, but this little dance would get rough very soon.

The human's reactions were definitely solid.]

[Mikazuki was dodging, jumping around a bit more than necessary, grinning to reveal his unsually sharp teeth. One jab hit him as a glancing blow and he fell back with a grunt. He didn’t try to regain his footing. Instead, he let the momentum carry him and dropped low, spinning in a sweeping kick aimed at Equius’s feet.]

Hey, hey might ask for it. And if he does, Equius promises to pull his punches and call Nepeta first!

[WHAT IS HER LIFE.]

Hehe, at least it's not like the Marisa incident?

[She should hope not!]

Hey! She was flirting with him! She totally was... only she wasn't really.
