[She's had enough of not doing anything. Bored beyond recognition. She didn't realize how much extra time she would have on her hands when she was going out of her way to ignore certain people. But that was only going to last for so long before she's bored with little to do and even less she gives a care about trying to do.]

This sitting around and waiting for something to happen just isn't my style. Aren't we supposed to be going to war sometime?

[War does not sound bad right now at all if it means she'll be doing something instead of working a crappy job and punching gang members when they get out of line.]

What is the lamest, dumbest and least funny joke that you've ever heard? I'm sure there have to be some real jewels out there. The ones so stupid they're almost funny.

[It's this or looking for someone to fight. She wouldn't mind the latter, really, but the quality of people to punch has gone a lot in the last few months.]

[Private to Kaine]

I'm bored out of my mind and I think the gang members in my territory are hiding out from me now. Do something amusing.

Wrong kind of style. Shouldn't joke about war.

Shows how well you're listening, because I'm not joking.

But I always listen, when people say things without words. Sometimes they don't even know what they're saying.

Pretty sure I said something like "Where's that war we were promised?" Because you know, things are getting mighty dull around here.

You said "Aren't we supposed to be going to war sometime?".

[ It's unclear as to whether River's repeating it to be helpful, or a brat. ]

[So much eye rolling, can she hear it through the network with how much she "listens"?]

Sure, whatever. And yet somehow you thought I was joking. Maybe your funny bone is broken. [Or maybe someone should break it, but the girl sounds fragile in the head already.]

[ She can definitely hear it. Caring about it however, is something different. ]

The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body. Forms part of the medial cord of the brachial plexus and descends on the posteromedial aspect of the humerus.

[ a pause ]

Mine's fine.

And you just proved my case for me. If you're going to be so bland, girl, the least you could do is try to be amusing. Not sure we'll going to get anywhere talking about whether or not you understand humor, though.

What kind of amusing do you want?

The kind that makes you laugh--and isn't stupid fart jokes.

What do you get if you cross an elephant with a zebra? Elephant zebra sin theta.

[ calculus joke?? ]

[There is silence. Because it takes Tea a moment to really get that.] Did you just make a math joke?

{It is the lamest and more ridiculous joke she's ever heard before and yet it makes her laugh because of that exact reason.]

[ You asked for the lamest, Tea! ]

You laughed, I win.

You win for the most pathetic joke to be mildly amusing. Congratulations. Do you want a gold star?

Yes please.

I'll send it in the mail. It will be covered in glitter. I'm sure you like sparkly things.

You shouldn't mock people, they'll catch on.

I'm sorry, was I supposed to pretend I wasn't mocking you instead? That seems dishonest.

[You're talking in his language.]

You can always go look for a fight.

Been there, done that. Even got away before the cops showed up to shut the fun down. It's like eating too much chocolate. Eventually it all tastes the same.

Have you tried fighting someone else? Not from a gang. Someone like us, not from here.

Not that many people around here worth really fighting. More drama than most of you are worth and not enough pay off. All that "weh, weh, you broke my arm" crap.

[OH GALATEA YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE STARTED.]

I might be able to make it worth your time. I'll keep my arm in one piece.

[She's marginally interested, but she's dealt with quite a few people who thought they could deal with her when really they just didn't realize what they were getting into. She hates wasting her time almost as much as she hates being bored. Still...she's tempted.]

Asking me out so soon after meeting? You haven't even managed to keep my attention with a bad joke yet.

I'm not a sit and wait around kind of guy. I can tell you a bad joke when I see you.

[Dante sometimes you are so smooth good on you kiddo.]

...That is the least attractive proposal I've ever heard. You're really bad at this. [But hey, it amused her, he gets points for his utter lack of charm.]

[You say it like it's going to deter him.] I make my own rules, play my own games... you probably know how it goes.

I do. But that means I like my rules. Want to play with me, you have to go along.
