day: 11th nighttime (after all new arrivals are out and about/getting settled)
content warnings: ground meat, being a good neighbor, boyfights
notes: hit me up on PM or plurk hotdoge if you want anything else! happy to oblige

A. have you ever had a hot dog cooked by a guy named hotdog? this is going on instastories.

[ the time has come for frank to probably show all you losers what a hot dog is. for posterity or some such. he's been curing deer meat from a recent hunting trip with aloy and after their housemate reigen had soundproofed house six's kitchen, well. it seemed as good a time as any to put his plan in motion. not to mention he's in a good mood for once after encountering his best friend among the new arrivals.

early in the evening, frank will be piping his mixture into homemade casings with the doors to the back deck wide open for anyone to come pester him. and then later on of course he will be cooking them up with mustard he made and onions he found. he will also chop up pickles from the natives for anyone who gets down like that. none of y'all better ever ask him what a hot dog is ever again!!!

if you come in while he's cooking expect to be put to work, and did i mention he'll be downing rosé the whole time? e n j o y.

note: the kitchen is only soundproof when all the doors are closed. he will tell everyone on arrival this, so while he's cooking the doors will be shut but all other times feel free to mingle!! ]

B. the rules of fight club are bring snacks and make sure frank castle stays in bruises. tia for your contribution.

[ after posting up this little gem, frank has been steadily gathering members for his and mike's "club." his garage is a makeshift boxing arena and open for all any time they want to blow off steam or learn some new skills from punching bag himself. or from whoever else is lingering around. feel free to match yourselves and have a fight without him too, he'll ref!

the only rules of fight club are: bring snacks, agree with your partner on tactics: weapons/no weapons, fists only/every man for himself etc etc. AND when one person taps out or doesn't get up the match is over. the garage is approximately 80% soundproof. every fighter must wear wraps on their hands to muffle sound and agree not to shout or make loud noises, even in pain. soft-volume trash talking is allowed and perhaps even encouraged... ]

C. write your own starter or ping me for one!

[Aaron's not quite her size and looks older than he actually is, but when he hears the offer for a fight he grins and nods to her.

He forgoes the phone for the moment and keeps his voice low. If it's fighting he surely hopes this place is sound proof or else he's definitely in for a bad time.]

Sure, under one condition.

[list_maker]

[Arya's eyes go a little wide when he's so bold as to talk out loud. She supposes they are fighting in here, so some amount of noise is probably okay. But still... it takes her a moment of staring at him and the others around him before she answers back.] What condition is that?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Who ever wins, laughs.

[He's stupidly daring but he's not going to push his luck too, too much with the sound eaters and everyone here. His voice stays low to prevent it carrying. Chances are this place isn't perfect after all.]

Doesn't have to be loud, a chuckle will do.

[list_maker]

[Arya is just going to stare at you now, Aaron. Laugh? Why? That's a very strange bet. But perhaps he's just a strange person. But he'll fight her, so that's all she cares about.] Okay. Deal. [Arya starts to wrap up her hands like they'd been told. She's more used to fighting with weapons, but she'll make due with hand to hand for the moment. It will be quieter.]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[Good, a deals a deal.

Aaron awkwardly follows suit then. He wraps his hands and clenches his fists to see if he wrapped them too tight. He turns to Arya and tries his best to get into a fighting stance. He's light on his feet but he has no clue how to put his guard up in hand to hand combat. At least Arya has training, so she'll probably recognize he's wide open and sort of awkwardly posed.]

When you're ready.

[list_maker]

[Arya is watching him carefully as she wraps her own hands, trying to get a gauge of him before the fight even begins. He's larger than her, but who isn't? He could be quick, but the way he moves he doesn't seem like a fighter. If she had Needle this wouldn't even be a contest. But it's hard to say how it will go without. She doesn't have brute strength to go off of and had to rely on her speed of action rather than force.

She turns to him, and when he texts he's ready she'll nod and wait for him to put away his device. And then she'll be moving at him quickly to kick forward at his stomach which is an open and a clear target before trying to move away again to avoid any reciprocation.]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[His guard is too high and though he says hes ready he's more practiced on escaping on the run. He expected her to punch and here she is kicking. He takes the blow solid to the stomach and just lets the air escape him to avoid grunting. He stumbles back a couple of steps, takes another breath and grins.

He moves then, though now she has the moment to open some room and prepare. He charges forward and instead of taking a swing he tries to use his size to his advantage and lowers his shoulder. A full shoulder check in an attempt to create another opening. It's also far too easy to read.]

[list_maker]

[If he could catch her, Arya wouldn't stand a chance. It's the same with most all her potential opponents. Which is why she's trained hard to avoid getting caught. And he's far too obvious when he rushes her that dodging him isn't hard for the moment. Perhaps if she gets more tired further into their spar such obvious tactics will be more successful.

But for now she's able to leap away from him, tucking in and rolling before she's on her feet again. Arya aims a punch to his side, but she's not very strong so it probably won't do much. But she's hoping to wear him down, gradually. Hoping he'll wear himself out before she does.]
