"I've got no idea where these fuckers live," Gojyo shrugs, lighting two cigarettes and passing one over to Nobuto. "Figure we should try th'bar first?"

"Considerate of you." He pushes his glasses up. Quite the comedy duo, those two.

"Dumb and no fuckin' sense of humor." Is that nausea? Shit, might be. Great. Just what he needs. Thanks, asshole.

"It's a good thing you're pretty, huh?" Oh, hey. They've got an audience. "Still want those smokes, pretty boy?"

Audience indeed.

"I'm still not gettin' involved in your family troubles, if that's what you're asking. But I could sure use those smokes, and I guess the new guy doesn't look very related to you, does he?"

"Looks like the audience participation part of the show's about to begin too."

"So it appears." He doesn't seem overly concerned, nor likely to remove his hands from his pockets any time soon. "Quite unfortunate that they couldn't have knocked sense into each other."

"Not in th'slightest."

Assuming that means you're taking Tenpou... and not going to bash his head in when he turns his back, Gojyo's going to head for the bridge. Of course, you can try to bash his head in, but then he'll have to return the favor, and he's bored with fighting you, Shaggy. You don't have any cigarettes. Whereas Kenren, on the other hand...

"Oi! Grandpa! You got somethin' I want."

Nope, not gonna hit Gojyo . . . for now. He can take point, and Nobuto'll watch his flank, keeping a careful eye on Mr. Glasses back there.

"Didn't you learn your lesson last time Sonny?"

"That does imply an ability to learn."

"I'm sober, an' facin' you, an' there's two of us now. See? Totally learned from last time."

You staying where you are in the middle of the bridge, Kenren? Even when he gets right up in your face?

"But if you've got another lesson for me, Grandpa, I'm listenin'."

"You just here to fight? Or is there a point to this little dance?"

You want blunt? Gojyo can do blunt.

"Cigarettes. Hand 'em over."

"We've already had this fight, it's time for you to get a new game."

"Whatever you say."

New game? How about 'tag'? As in, stick to the head, tag, you're it!

Well you can't argue with the classics. Going to block that with his arm. And because he's an asshole, he's going to kick Gojyo in the shin.

You do that! It didn't work so well with Nobuto, but you've already got your arm up, and he can't resist. Bruise his shin all you like - since he's in close anyway, Gojyo's gonna bodycheck you against that railing and headbutt you in the nose. Hi.

Edited for spelling FAIL at some time or another.

See, the thing about the rail is it's not sturdy enough to take the full force of two guys the size of them. The railing cracks bowing out enough to keep Kenren from being able to have a decent defense, but it also keeps the full force of Gojyo's skull from cracking his nose.

Kenren saved his nose? Nice one! He's still pinned against that cracking railing, though. Wonder if scooting back a pace and giving him a good kick to the stomach will send him flying back enough to break it completely and drop him in the water? Let's find out!

...The kid really does set himself up for this a lot, doesn't he? Fine, he can scoot back all he wants, but he'd better be prepared for a boot to the head. Or side. Or, really, wherever the kick lands. Tenpou's not too picky, he'd just rather not have to fish his general out of his fishing spot.

Tenpou might find a stick in the way of that kick. Just 'cause he's not getting involved in Battle of the Identical Assholes doesn't mean he's gonna let Glasses there tip the balance.

"Nuh-uh. You mind your own fight, if you please."

'course, that means Gojyo's gonna have to move soon, if he wants any help in this. This bridge ain't big enough for both fights.

Nice Gojyo, Kenren's gonna scoot the other way, and grab your foot before that kick lands. Unfortunately that's going to cause enough momentum to finish breaking the rail. You up for a swim Gojyo?

Aw shit. Water. Fucking water. Why does he always end up falling in the fucking water?

"Shit!"

Oh man, his cigarettes are wrecked, and his leathers are soaked, and he lost his stick, and Kenren, you fucking asshole, you're getting grabbed and socked in the kidneys.

"I wasn't aware I had a prior engagement." He's going to glance at the one who stopped him, then down to the water to make sure no one was badly damaged in the fall, and then he will stand here and light up a smoke. Yes, calmly and in that order. And if he manages to get through all of that undisturbed, he'll know Mr. Big-man-with-a-stick here is truly an idiot and punch him in the head.

The first rule of fighting an unknown opponent is: don't make any rash moves. So, yes, Tenpou can have the first move, since he's gotten to see Nobuto fight (a little), whereas Nobuto has no idea what to expect.
The reason you don't make any rash moves, of course, is that it's much easier to react when you're not committed to attacking. So of course that punch doesn't really even come close to connecting. But opening moves are like that, no?

The second rule is, if your opponent thinks you're an idiot, let them. Time to put on his Street Punk face, honed through years of kicking the shit out of street punks.

"I'm not gonna go easy on ya just 'cause you're wearing glasses, y'know."

Well first Kenren's going to grab the arm that's holding him, and then he's going to use his elbow to block that kidney strike. And then, he's going to push back so you both fall back in the water again.
