Maybe when you start out. It's all speed bumps, potholes and uneven road; flat tires and a shitty paint job. You get better at it. Then you start making your own luck.
No, you retard. If I'm in shit and I want out, you come talk me out — vice versa. Having connections is key; that's our luck. You won't have any if you keep getting your ass kicked, you don't sound lucrative at all! If you want information from someone, you take the shape of what they'd feel comfortable confiding in. It's time to learn to charm some gullible bastards.
[it's a hand held out to him, a call across the void, and he's not sure what changed, or why; Hiruma's actions are more difficult to guess at than the exact number of black eyes he's had throughout his lifetime]
[he wants it, has wanted it -- to have Hiruma as a connection for practical reasons, to have Hiruma to -- look up to, model himself after, associate himself with and grow]
[but there are still too many walls erected in Badou's life to see a path around any single goddamn one of them (it would explain how he keeps breaking his face on them, instead)]
this is badou badou nails ? we met b4 right
[he's not a charming, he's not persuasive, he's not someone who makes others feel comfortable; he's not lucrative, he's not his brother]
[(Hiruma may be extending a hand; will it matter, if Badou still doesn't know how to take it?)]
like ur charming ? ppl just buy in2 ur dumb scary cool guy routine b/c theyre morons
[he wants to say, did being charming stop that bullet to the chest?, but even he isn't tactless enough to let it jump from his mind to his fingertips (thank god for text)]
Doesn't matter if no one's afraid of me, if they think it's routine. People can laugh at me all they like, threaten me all they like — there's nothing I want more. Underestimation is an exceptional tool to take advantage of.
I made a mistake, once. Turned a blind eye to someone I shouldn't have let out of my crosshairs. Think I'll make that same mistake twice? Fuck no.
What about you? Want to keep getting the shit kicked out of you? Adapting to survive is the only thing we can do; weak in body, strong in mind.
I was a little shithead punk until I was ten, then I got smart. How long are you going to wait,? How bad do you want to get strong? Bad enough to want to learn, Nails, of that I'm damn sure.
