Sitting atop a Nexus wall and sipping a E-tank was Blues. His usual aloofness replaced with a tired expression.

"Best way to tell whether someone has developed a bad habit from years of repetition or are just having a few off days? Good ways to do away with habits?"

There's another Blues near the end of the wall. He removes a permanant marker that was hidden somewhere in his scarf - or at least that's where he seems to pull it from unless it's some slight of hand trick - as he speaks.

"Depends on the person, the habit, and how long they've been doing it. Try replacing it with something else. Bad day?" He goes to put a tik-mark next to some fifty-odd other marks on the wall and then pauses. "Scheiße, did I add a mark for you yet? Maybe I should give up trying to keep count of us."

"Rockhead, fighting, around once a year for most of his life." He paused for another drink. "Old man's dead, but it's been a year. Kid's getting jumpy. Or that's my view on it. Roll thinks he's having a few off days."

There's a wry grin. "Bad week. And hell if I know. I don't bother with counting."

"Your's too, huh. Could just be that he's used to that much time between problems and now that time's up he's looking for trouble even though he knows it's not possible."

"My world's Rock's an odd case. We just let him and Forte take it out on each other now and then. They seem to like that."

A grin back. "Started on a whim, think I'll have to drop it as a project. Some don't come back, and I think I've already missed a few."

"Something like that."

"Forte's not really an option but I can always spar with him if he needs it."

"And getting us to line up for a head-count isn't happening either, heh."
