Level 17 [Action for Goldenrod Rocket Base] - SLACK OFF

[rocketralph]

<sub>[Good morning, Rockets! I hope you slept well. Somebody certainly did!]

[In fact, he's still sleeping. In really inconvenient places.]

[Ralph can be found throughout the base dozing in front of office doors, dorm doors, hallways, or the snack machines. You could try to wake 'em up...but he's a pretty cranky guy after all. Otherwise, I hope you don't have anywhere important to be for a while!]</sub>

Hey. Move it.

[Some Rockets are actually trying to turn their starters into something not completely worthless, and that's pretty hard when there's a humanoid mountain blocking the door to the training area.]

[Chazz gives Ralph's bulk a small, futile shove when his initial efforts aren't immediately successful.]

Shove it, slacker! You wanna hibernate or something, the dorms are there for a reason!

[rocketralph]

_{[At the shove, Ralph gives off a grunt before lifting his arm and rolling slightly so that he's facing away from him. And still blocking the door.]}

Take a hike.

[ojamameansfamily]

I'm trying, there's a giant freaking trashpile blocking the path!

[Wait, no, that sounds lame. He's gonna pretend he never said that.]

You gonna move it, or do I have to move your fat butt myself?

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph was about to doze off again when a double insult was blasted his way. He slowly leaned back up on one huge arm to look over his shoulder.]}

A fat trashpile, huh? Sounds like a personal problem.

_{[He slowly rocks to his feet.]}

A real personal problem.

[ojamameansfamily]

Oh good, you CAN move.

[And. Just. Taking a step back. Wow you're a lot bigger standing up.]

If it's such a problem, maybe you should use the gym instead of just napping in the door.

[More insults are clearly the answer here, right?]

[rocketralph]

Oh, no, not my personal problem.

_{[Ralph looms and sleepily pops his knuckles. He's fighting a yawn but it looks an awful lot like a snarl.]}

Why go to the gym when I've got a perfectly good punching bag right here?

Feel free to punch him

[ojamameansfamily]

[Errors have obviously been made here.]

Is that supposed to scare me or something?

[When in doubt, pile on more false bravado. But... shifting another half-step back, almost unconsciously.]

You don't like hearing the truth, then stay out of the way.

HERE WE GO

[rocketralph]

_{[The wrecker lifts a brick-shaped eyebrow. Wow. Just who does this little twerp think he is? Ralph's a lot faster than he looks, but instead of driving Chazz into the ground like a railroad spike he snatches him up with one hand and delivers a MERCILESS NOOGIE with the other.]}

Go bother somebody else, you little Goomba!

[ojamameansfamily]

[The sound Chazz makes is. Not EXACTLY a scream.]

[Screaming is usually a little more dignified, for one thing.]

[But that sure is a noise he's making.]

The heck is wrong with you, man?!

[Just. Kind of. Flailing ineffectually as Ralph's assault on his 'do continues.]

Lemme- augh! LEMME GO YOU FREAK!

[rocketralph]

_{[NOOGIE NOOGIE NOOGIE.]}

I oughtta ask you the same thing!

_{[Once he's positive he's left at the least a sore spot on the top of his fellow grunt's noggin, he lets him go none too gently, dropping him on the floor.]}

Now beat it before I lose my temper!

[ojamameansfamily]

That WASN'T you losing your temper?!

And I've been TRYING to beat it since I got here, you're in the way where I need to go!
