text - kid's canon woes

[h2no]

LET'S SAY YOUR POWERS DON'T COVER BEING SUPER DURABLE OR ABLE TO SET SOMEONE ON FIRE WITH YOUR MIND OR WHATEVER.
LET'S IMAGINE THAT WHAT YOU DID FOR SELF DEFENSE DUE TO UNIVERSAL DIFFERENCES ISN'T VIABLE ANYMORE.

WHERE WOULD YOU GO FROM THERE?

Not to sound like a Chantry Mother, but have you considered trying to talk about it?

NICE MOVES, MAGNUS "VIKING WARRIOR" CHASE.

[picksthenames]

you set people on fire for self defense?

i mean, technically that works, but man thats not a healthy way to live.

[h2no]

ME? NO.
I DON'T HAVE A FIRE TYPE.
THAT'S BLUE'S THING.


I'M KIDDING, NO-ONE WAS SET ON FIRE. THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

[D33 is all-too-familiar with the concept of you Pokéfucks not knowing how to defend yourselves without your murder pets. All the others are children - Archie he might actually be able to help.

[Maybe.]

You might look into learning some basic hand-to-hand combat, to begin.
Self-defense, as you've said.

[He knows you're going to make fun of him for this next part, but:]

Despite your apparent aversion to them, small, concealable blades can be quite useful in terms of self-defense once you have been taught to utilize them properly.

[dreadinquisitor]

With them. Talk about it with the other party. See if you can't work out whatever it is without anyone being roasted alive.

If they did, they probably deserved it.

half the reason vikings kicked so much historical ass is because they knew when to get gone, dude.

and disclaimer i'm not actually a viking even if i'm sort of supposed to be an undead norse warrior. that's like calling me a knight or a minstrel, it's like, not a job you can get in boston in the 2000's.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT AT ALL TIMES, I'M WORRIED ABOUT WHEN SHIT GOES SIDEWAYS AND FUCKING DINOSAURS START ROAMING THE STREETS.
I CAN DO HAND-TO-HAND STUFF BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO SHIT AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE GUNS.

I usually survive by telling people all the reasons they shouldn't want to hurt me. And if that fails, I use blackmail.

[fehus]

I think you found your calling, dude. Guidance counselor to full grown adults.

[h2no]

A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE SEEN AND ENCOUNTERED HERE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TALKING OUT ONES.
ONE TIME THERE WAS A LITERAL DINOSAUR.
WHAT DO YOU DO THEN??????? I CAN ONLY RUN SO FAST.

Re: [private - text]

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GENUINELY WONDERING IF I SHOULD LEARN HOW TO USE A GUN.

Re: text

[h2no]

VIKINGS TENDED TO HAVE DRAGONS WHERE I COME FROM.
THEY WERE CALLED SALAMENCE.
LIKE LITERAL, ACTUAL DRAGONS THAT BREATHED FIRE AND SHIT. THEY ALL HAD THEM.
OUR WORLD ISN'T REALLY CONVENTIONAL IN THE WHOLE 'HOW TO BEAT EACH OTHER UP' WAY.

Must you fight to settle your differences?

[picksthenames]

ok, ignoring THAT aside...

if you cant pokébattle someone, you need other methods of conflict resolution. have you tried talking it out with them?

Re: [private - text]

[halloflamer]

Why the shellder jump straight to guns?

Idk maybe hand to hand I could handle or martial arts weapons but stuff like that? That's a whole different level

[Honestly, the thought of it made him nauseous, but he's not about to say that.]

[dreadinquisitor]

I even have a card.

[He sends a picture of it. His name along with the name and address of Nobody Expects (the Benefits of) Family Counseling. It wasn't the most unsuitable thing the government here could have forced upon him, it turned out. All things considered. ...Not that he'd admit it aloud.]

Re: text

[fehus]

vikings like dragons. i've been personally hunted and consumed by several.

do you have money?

[halloflamer]

Usually that ends up with me getting hit more often

[At least he's self aware]
