 [There is a little kid on the screen, and this shorty does not look happy, okay? Not happy at all. It may just very well be because he found his friend Kazama in the medical bay with a bullet wound. He may deal with alien monsters regularly, but he's more than appalled when people hurt each other. No, he's lost Chase, and now someone tries to take yet another friend? He won't have any of this bullshittery.

His eyes are fiery and his meeker expression from other entries is gone. No more being scared now! No more hiding away!

He spent too much time alone to want to ever be alone again!]

We gotta worry about monsters, but what about people who are mean?

There's too much bad stuff here to worry about... so don't hurt each other for no reason! Don't shoot people and don't hurt people and don't be like the monsters; I been hurt before by people who are mean for no reason, and it doesn't feel good. So--so if I learn you're hurting people, and 'specially if they're my friends, I'll stop you. Whoever hurt Mr. Kazama like that, I'm not afraid of scaredy babies who shoot people with guns.

I'm gonna--

I'm gonna--!!

I'm gonna kick your ass*!



[SO THERE, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Don't use that word.

If someone's hurting you or threatening to hurt you, you tell a trusted grown-up, okay?

[throwsdown]

N... No one hurt me--but they're hurting my friends!

[...

oh crap someone who makes him feel super tiny and flustered

But I gotta be strong! Chin up!]

What word? Monsters? That's what they are, though...!

[SO

FUCKING

CONFLICTED RIGHT NOW]

Ah -

[handelaar]

Y'weren't with him, were you.

[Fucking kids fucking kids fucking kids fucking kids.

[Yes, Takeshi, you're talking a pretty big game now and that's real impressive, but that won't prevent Murphy from having an internal freakout over whether or not he's going to have to see the same damn routine just repeat itself all over again with you little squirts.]

[video]

[yardbird]

Listen, if you ever think about kickin' anybody's ass...

[Welp. All aboard the S.S. Moral Quandary.]

...You don't do it on your own.

[logicunlocked]

[ Something about Takeshi always tugs at York's heartstrings. Maybe it's because there's something that he projects that seems just a little bit broken. That's not right for such a small child, and he knows being here in this environment can't have helped that. ]

Hey, kid. I know you're pretty strong and brave, but sometimes attacking someone like that isn't the best plan, you know?

video;

[throwsdown]

... But... if they're not stopped, they'll hurt more people; it's scary, but I can do it!

I'd be real careful.

anon text;

[tigers]

[ He really shouldn't, not with Moriarty breathing down his neck, but he just can't help himself. He'll just try to keep his messages as minimalistic and un-Moranlike as possible. ]

Self defense is self defense.

[throwsdown]

...

[Are you seriously texting to a five-year-old.

... But he can't see his face. He's seen this before, and it's practically magic to him, as far as he's concerned.

COLOR HIM SUSPICIOUS.

He folds his arms, speaking in a matter-of-factly voice. Now is the time to be matter-of-factly, okay.]

I can't read that.

Why don't you just talk?

voice

[harriedosborn]

[ He doesn't know the context or anything, but the kid's about the age of his son so he pays attention. He can't help it. ]

That's good advice. You should be careful of people with guns, though.

voice

[throwsdown]

I know--guns can be bad.

[Bullets can't actually hurt him, with his suit on.

But he was told never to tell anyone things like that about the suit, so... no dice.]

If bad people have them, too...

[sweetmotherofgod]

[Oh Jesus mercy. This is a terrible idea, not remotely safe, and yet...

somehow...

freakin' adorable.

So it's with a very studied effort at a straight face that Heather appears.]

Takeshi. Kiddo, you're gonna give me gray hair. Don't go chasing anybody with guns, okay?

video;

[throwsdown]

[WHIIIINE.]

I'm gonna get gray hair. Everyone's gonna give me gray hair! And wrinkles!

video.

[faithlessly]

[ goddamn it, takeshi. ]

Do you even know how to kick ass?

video.

[throwsdown]

Yessir!

[what

what is it]

I'm tougher than I look! Don't worry, I can kick ass the way you do, too!

[video] WILL QUIT EDITING SORRY

[elvenking]

Now then. Aggressing upon his ass is no way to teach someone a lesson.

[He's being so serious.]

[video] i have done worse, no worries |D

[throwsdown]

But why not? If they hurt people, they need to know how it feels to hurt! It's not fair if they don't get in trouble.

[morenos]

Ah...

[she says this under her breath while looking at the camera like a widemouth bass, WOW A+ RESPONSE WOW WOW WOW
no okay time to pull herself together]

Is, uh, is Mr. Kazama okay?

[throwsdown]

He's in bed, 'cuz he was shot, so I don't think so. Even if he gets better, it still really hurts when you get shot!

[He hasn't forgotten it, either. He couldn't even speak, not a single word. It just... laid in Reika's arms and shivered, cold and scared.]

It's awful! Nobody should have to get hurt like that...!

video

[walksonrooftops]

[Whoah there mister, Asato's not in any mood to see more little kids throw themselves into dangerous situations any time soon.]

If someone's trying to hurt someone for no reason, then that's bad. But it's better to talk to the people who have the job of keeping others safe here. They're trained to stop people from hurting other people.

[He can't even try to be all matter-of-fact about it, he's no big security spokesman. He just doesn't want to see another child bite off far more than they can chew and end up in medbay themselves.

No debating that some people need to get their asses seriously kicked, though, but that's just an eye for an eye.]

video

[throwsdown]

I'm trained a little bit!

My dad showed me some fight moves, so I'm not scared to kick someone. I wanna help stop people from getting hurt, too...

[video]

[wolfdreamer]

Do you really mean to kick people?

[video]

[throwsdown]

If they hurt people I will! I'll kick 'em really hard.

[northerner]

[ alkjfdsalf ]

There are better ways to warn people away from your loved ones, Takeshi.

video;

[throwsdown]

What kinds of ways? How do I do that?

[He's not sure there are better methods, because if someone told him they'd kick his butt, he'd stop doing the bad stuff.]

[video]

[maternityward303]

[Oh dear. Well.]

It takes a lot of courage to stand up for your friends. But what takes even more courage is asking for help so you don't have to do things alone.

[video]

[throwsdown]

I'll ask for help, but I didn't wanna not say stuff; it's important to not be quiet when someone's hurting someone!

video

[mmmgorditas]

[Oh dear god no there are more children here

Oh honey

Honey no

Shit.

Give him a minute to compose himself before he replies.]

You know Kazama, too?

video

[throwsdown]

Mmhmm... He's my friend! When I was in trouble with myself, he came and tried to make me feel better.

He's always been nice to me.
