[Dirk's brief broadcast the day before ended right as it sounded like a fight broke out with no responses anyone, so that probably was a little disconcerting. It's a full day later when his callsign finally makes another appearance on the network, back in his typical text form.]

Got him.
Permanently, I hope, but I'm not taking anything as a given on Respawn Island, particularly not after having just done the same myself.
I don't see that asshole hollering on the walkies anymore though, so I assume shit's quieted down.

Shit man you've gotta tell us all the details!!

That slab of overgrown bacon wouldn't fight me, f

[ It's here that Squalo discovers the word fucking just doesn't want to leave his mouth. He stutters over the F several times -- what the FUCK -- before he finally gets it out, but thank fuck for text because he can just delete all the extra attempts and it will look normal!! ]

[ He totally overlooked that start of a new paragraph though, oops- ]

ucking coward, how did you manage to get him???

[timaeus]

[Still laying in the sand and mildly distracted by the fact that his ears are still ringing, Dirk does not think too much about that weird break in Squalo's text. Typos, whatever.]

It's very simple:
I'm fucking awesome.

[sharktrash]

Ok maybe a little more details than that

I wanna hear the ffuc
king legend!!

How did you find him? How'd you get him to fight you??? HOW DID YOU KILL HIM i wanna know what shape the blood splatter made

[ He's absolutely, unhingedly excited. Oops, was somebody supposed to give Dirk shit about this? Nah. ]

[timaeus]

[That's weird, but with some of the people Dirk's dealt with and his current state, he's just rolling with the crazy.]

Tragically, I passed out pretty much right after the final blow, so I didn't really get a chance to do a Rorschach test with his blood.
But if he ever shows up again, just tell him you're royalty or something.
Dude was practically eager to take me on himself once he thought I was "challenging him for his throne".

[ Good. It's not as visceral as Squalo had clearly hoped, but Dirk's still making his day, and he definitely needs it made with WHATEVER WEIRD SHIT IS HAPPENING TO HIM. What the hell? It's like he just -- can't say "fuck" without stumbling all over his tongue anymore. He's never had any sort of delayed speech development or whatever, how was this even possible? Maybe he was just hallucinating? ]

Aw thats a shame
Huh thats a fkking weird kink for a pig
But i think i know just what to say next time

[ He does have that Sword Emperor title and all... ]

Huh interesting. Good to know too i guess in case he pops up again

Whered you hit him to finish him off?

[timaeus]

Technically, I stabbed him in the neck.

[Sorta. But he doesn't wanna broadcast how much of a potential weakness the transceivers are to any other potential threats that can see this network.]

What happened with you?
I had to keep the walkie quiet while on a stealth mission so I only got to check it occasionally.
Sounded like you were having fun, though.
