Ratsy only punches. No magic, no weapons.

"Struggles and Growth"

Sometimes you need a stop sign
To take the punches.
Sometimes you need the garbage trucks
To struggle up the hill.
When the trash compacts,
And the trash juices amass,
The crabgrass rises from the past.

The gas station man
Rises in the morn.
From the factory smoke
And the inconsiderate horn.
He sees the crabgrass,
He harvests it to thrash,
Gas station flour rises from the trash!

When you smell the gas station bread
Cooking in the morning
And a Cola can rattles
Around the bushes of thorn...
When the stop sign breaks,
And the graffiti can shakes,
That's when you release the fists
Which makes the bad guys ache.

I'm from the Red Light River City near the Section 8 bridge.

One day a portal opened up into the Section 8 sewers. I felt a magnetic pull, like a neighborhood dog to sausage truck. A nameless voice told me there was a new frontier of troublemakers.

I wasn't exactly thrilled about diving into the sewers, but it has happened before and it will happen again. So anyway, the voice wasn't wrong. Right away there were numerous punch candidates.

Fast forward to the present day: I'm always seeking places with lots of folks. In this neighborhood, that usually means clubs. Clubs attract pretty much countless numbers of bad guys.

Take for example, the Candyland club. There is a fight almost every night. Their DJ Lightning Themis plays angry music, which brings out all sorts of punk kids with skateboards, basketballs, lead pipes, and culturally appropriated mohawks. Since I have buttered up the staff for so long, they let me fight people automatically... wow.

Boss Elana also has fun clubs. I've lost count of their names. She has the charisma of Madonna and the grace of a bus station. It's the perfect recipe for troublemakers.

I also like Madam Redrum and the Booty Boys. She makes her dancers climb the walls just to perform on the high balconies. It's very unfair, which is probably why they're always closed... workplace safety lawsuits.

What would I like for my future? A new pair of pants would be nice.
