When Passover starts I'm going to take a vacation to a magical land of seclusion, aka sitting in my cabin with the door shut and my fingers in my ears.

Haircuts. I'm still giving them. Free knuckle sandwich available upon request.

I don't know about a knuckle sandwich, but you ever want to do some boxing or general brawling, you let me know. Have to say, I kinda miss slamming my fist into someone's face.

Get out the old pugilist stance then? Yeah, actually, sounds real good. I haven't bare knuckle boxed in forever.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I kinda miss getting the shit beat out of me. It felt like home, ya know? I mean, it felt real. Sometimes I wonder if this place is.

No, guy, I got it. There's something about taking a punch that gets your heart pounding and makes you feel living.

Me too some days.

When are you free? You want to just meet in the gym?

I'm free in between running around after my inmate.

Let's meet for dinner in the gym. Shouldn't be too many people hanging around then.

[So Donny waited for Costigan to show on up, actually pretty happy for a good fight that wasn't life-or-death. As he suspected, practically no one was in the gym during dinner hours, which was just fine by him. He didn't think anybody else would get it.]

Spam! Hellz yeah. Costigan and McCoy have a don't ask don't tell policy. lost_undercover March 27 2010, 04:04:59 UTC
[Costigan entered around when they had agreed to meet, baseball cap and jacket over a white t-shirt and jeans. He had come straight from his room, where Bourne and Henrietta were staying, and thus wasn't able to change into anything more fitting. Such a small detail could hardly dissuade him.

Approaching Donny, he began sliding off his jacket and then grabbed his cap, laying both over a bench nearby.] "You still want to do this?"

[Donny was just glad he showed. He nodded and then broke out into a wide grin.] "Yeah, 'course. You got me all excited for a fight, guy, don't tell me you're backing down."

[Of course Donny was just teasing, and probably would have followed it up with a nice punch to the arm if that hadn't been the reason they had met in the gym in the first place. He took off his coat and shirt and tossed them next to Costigan's with a grin.] "Limits. Let's set 'em. No punchin' in the groin, agreed?"

"Yeah, agreed." [Costigan practically winced at the mere idea. He wanted to go straight face/chest, really. The inmate followed Donny's lead, removing his shirt and rolling his shoulders around in a loose stretch. Dropping his head from one side to the other, he cracked his knuckles and then flexed his hands. It was weird, actually preparing for a fight.] "How about standard rules? No kicking, nothing below the waist, no straight jab to the teeth. No slapping, pinching, pulling hair, or any of that shit either. Sound good to you?"

[Donny nodded. They were all rules that were pretty much unspoken in fights like these - but it was good to know that neither of them were sissies about it.] "Yeah. Sounds fuckin' dandy. And we stop when one of us says fuckin' stop, alright?" [He swung his arms back and forth a bit, trying to loosen up before he took a stance across from Costigan. The thought of fighting like he used to see in the alleys back home sounded more inviting than he was capable of expressing.]

"Ready?" [Donny put his arms up and waited for Costigan to give the say-so.]

"Alright." [Costigan agreed. Donny looked stronger than him and potentially more practiced. The inmate was used to getting in brawls, but they generally involved him getting the drop on people and/or having a gun to aid him. When outnumbered, he had never been afraid to run. A fight like this, then, should have been intimidating. But the appeal of getting the shit beat out of him was greater even than the idea of "winning". This was about stress relief ( ... )

[Donny was born ready. He had some misgivings - mainly his own fear of losing control, but he was pretty sure he could keep a frenzy at bay. He just wasn't in that place mentally. Costigan was a friend, not some fucking German soldier with a gun in hand. The possibility of him snapping and forgetting himself was really low.

Calmly, his weight shifting from each foot, he slowly nodded his head in warning. He was eager for the fight, and for the sweat and blood that came with it, and he was going to strike first.

Donny jabbed his arm forward, just aiming towards the middle of Costigan's chest and nothing else yet.]

[Costigan easily deflected the first test swing with his front hand, darting to the side and forward a half-step in the process. Having mastered the art of running, speed was always his ally. He tended to leave himself open and wasn't all that strong, but he reacted quickly and that almost made him a decent fighter.

Immediately he launched a hook toward the area of Donny's kidneys, and then a jab at the front of his shoulder. The inmate had his own concerns about getting carried away, but he expected the former Nazi killer to be a bit more skilled in combat than himself and he wasn't used to really doing damage without a gun, some glass, or random other objects to throw at people or throw them into.]

[Donny couldn't dart completely out of the way from the punch that was thrown at his gut, but he did manage to twist and blunt the blow some. Donny knew he was a tough guy and could take a punch, but was pretty impressed at how fast Costigan was moving and knew he was fairly equally-matched.

When Costigan's fist hit his shoulder, Donny immediately threw one back towards the guy's face.]
