Kousuke. Matt. Get your asses to my office now.

You think this place doesn't have security cameras?

What?

[pimpin_cross]

I've got half a mind to throw you both out. You're supposed to be protecting my whores, not fighting each other.

[[Matt, want to just jump down to this thread too?]]

[3rd_place]

*keeps his eyes on a neutral point, not looking directly at Cross but not looking directly away either, keeps his mouth shut*

[bloodredblade]

I warned him. He's the one that kept pushing. You already know how I work, Mister Cross.

[pimpin_cross]

From what I saw on the video, you pulled the knife. And threw the first punch. I don't give a damn what he said to you, that's not how things run around here. Walk away.

And you... *turns to Matt* I don't know what you said to him to rile him up like that, but keep your mouth shut next time you feel like running it off. Are we clear?

[3rd_place]

*was about to open his mouth when Kousuke said that but then changes his mind when Cross speaks*

Yes, Sir.

[bloodredblade]

Understood.

[pimpin_cross]

Good. Consider this your first strike. And you don't get three, got it?

*looks at Matt* Make sure you get that leg taken care of. I can't have you limping around here. Go.

Kousuke, I want another word with you.

[3rd_place]

*nods* M'keeping an eye on it. I'll be fine to keep working. *takes that as his dismissal and turns to go*

[bloodredblade]

*leans against the wall and stares at Cross; not even making eye contact with Matt*

Sure.

[pimpin_cross]

*waits until Matt leaves, then turns to Kousuke* I take it you haven't found anyone who wants you as a protector yet.

[bloodredblade]

That Gojyo was complaining about his, but I doubt that counts. I was under the impression I was going to be assigned, not that I had to play nice with all the workers here to get picked.

[pimpin_cross]

*laughs* I don't think any of the whores are troublesome enough to assign you to them. Or maybe I just don't dislike any of them enough.

So maybe you should start playing nice. Otherwise you're on guard duty for the front doors for awhile.

[bloodredblade]

*sighs* Where have I heard that before?

Fine by me. I don't have to trust anyone to work at the font door.

[pimpin_cross]

Hm. I'll still consider you as a protector position, but for now you need to be doing something to earn your pay.

[bloodredblade]

Whatever you say, Mister Cross. *looks off*
