Killer butterflies? Were they giant butterflies? Like the ants in Them!?

[buttbaby]

No, more this size.

[He shows something close to the size of a football.]

And they could eat people brains, gain their memories and pilot their bodies. Total bodysnatcher shit.

[makeanentrance]

Oh creepy. I love it!

I mean... It would make a cool horror movie.

I guess living through it wouldn't be so fun. But you defeated these body snatching butterflies?

[At least he doesn't disbelieve that this can happen. He's seen plenty of weirdness in his own world.]

[buttbaby]

Yeah, we kicked their asses.

I let their leader live, in the end. I felt kinda bad for them. They were just trying to find a new home after theirs was destroyed and saw our planet going to hell.

[makeanentrance]

So they were alien butterflies?

[buttbaby]

Yeah. Basically refugees on our planet.

[makeanentrance]

So it was kind of a... misunderstanding? Did you talk it out?

[buttbaby]

A difference of approaches. They made a vow to never let another planet go through what they went through, but they murdered a bunch of our people to try and stop it.

We had to destroy them.

[He's not devastated over it, but he is sad.]

[makeanentrance]

For the greater good kind of deal, huh? Often leads to villainy, at least from the greater public's perception.

[He takes note of that sadness and pats Chris' hand.]

I'm sure you did what you thought was right. You saved your friends, yeah?

[buttbaby]

Yeah, I did.

I might've gone along with the butterflies' plans if my friends weren't in harm's way.

[makeanentrance]

Guess you had to make a hard decision.

[buttbaby]

[He heaves a sigh.]

Yeah.

...Wanna play some arcades?

[makeanentrance]

[Being a hero must be hard in some ways, he thinks. It's something he only pretended to be early in in his criminal career. He nods at the suggestion. They needed something fun.]

[buttbaby]

[Chewing the last bits of his burger and washing it down with coke, Chris gets to his feet.]

Fighting game?

[He suggests, 'cause those are always a lot of fun.]

[makeanentrance]

You really do like fighting for fun, huh?

[Beck looks amused.]

Let's do it.

[There were mainly some pinball machines upstairs so they'd have to go back down for more arcade games.]

[buttbaby]

[They go downstairs and pick a machine with (obviously) scantily clad buff killing machines squaring off against each other.]

I'm Auto Fuck Bitch Master. Check out his biceps.

[There's apparently a button dedicated to flexing them.]

[makeanentrance]

[That's quite the name - and it reminds Beck of something...]

Oh, I was just thinking that I don't think I ever got your last name. And I don't think Bitch Master is it.

[buttbaby]

It's Smith. [Chris sighs.] Bitch Master would be a serious upgrade.

[makeanentrance]

Chris Smith?

I guess it doesn't stand out but then you don't need a crazy name to stand out.

[buttbaby]

[He grins at that, appreciating the compliment.]

Well? Who's your contender?

[makeanentrance]

[He has a look at the roster of fighters, liking the look of one wearing green in what little clothing they have on.]

They're... Dick Blaster. Not sure if that's a sexy or dangerous move to have.

[He chuckles. Of course this city's arcades would have those sort of names.]

[buttbaby]

I'd worry for all dicks in the area whenever a dick blast happens.

[Sexy or not, it sounds fucking dangerous.

The fight starts, with the declaration FUCK EACH OTHER HARD!!!]

[makeanentrance]

[And it does look like the fighters are trying to grapple for sex as much as flex and punch. Is that clothing being ripped off too? Beck laughs at the animated antics, frantically pushing buttons and swinging the joystick. He doesn't often play fighting games but he's having fun here. His mood doesn't decrease when Chris and his fighter win the round.]

[buttbaby]

Eat it, Dick Blaster!

[Chris sticks to the simple attacks: punches, kicks, and strategic cloth rips. Dick Blaster is a wiley opponent, but is eventually overpowered by the simple and deliberate strategy.]

[makeanentrance]

You're pretty good at this. Another round?

We could make it even more interesting. Make some sort of bet.
