[closed] this will probably turn out to be a bad idea

[killerbeep]

Who: B and Jamie
What: PUNCHING LESSONS
When: April 21
Where: probably in a workout room at Pride HQ
Warnings: punching, and also possibility of robo-torture flashbacks

Lots of stuff has happened lately. Lots of stuff has gone wrong lately, and frankly, B could use a distraction - and he doubts he’s the only one. Besides, he’s been meaning to give Jamie some tips for a while now, and there’s no better time than the present, right? Ignoring that giving his most aggressive bandmate the capacity to more effectively pick fights might be a bad idea (and it’s not like B has any room to criticize anyone else for being aggressive, anyway).

B tosses Jamie a set of gloves and headgear; he’s generally more comfortable not using this stuff, but there’s a bigger risk of their manager finding them here, and he doesn’t much want to get in trouble for risking getting one or both of them injured. “You ready? Gonna start pretty simple.”

B rests his fingers carefully against his throat, as if making sure it's still intact. He glances at Jamie, then shrugs slightly. If this was going to happen anyway, he can at least be glad it was with Jamie nearby... even if he did punch him.

"...Maybe. I dunno, it was... weird."

As if that doesn't describe basically all the memories he's picked up.

The gesture doesn't escape Jamie's notice, and his brow creases in concern, but he doesn't address it directly for now - though it does make him wonder all the more just what the hell B was remembering this time.

"Weirder than the other ones?" He hesitates again, fumbling for what to say, and finally adds: "I mean - you seemed pretty freaked out, this time. Comparatively speaking."

"If weirder means worse."

He snorts quietly and nods, shoving his fingers through his hair. "Guess that's no surprise. Feel like I've been run over by a truck."

Or a spaceship.

...He figures he might as well make some effort to be straightforward here. "So, I... guess at some point I got tortured or something?"

Yes, that's right, B, be casual about it. That makes a lot of sense.
