Let's talk hypotheticals.

You're crossing a suspension bridge. You have to reach the other side at any cost. The bridge is wide enough only for one person to pass at a time.

A man approaches from the other side with a gun. How do you cross?

[now you're speaking his language]

Hope the transition went well for you.

[there's just some habits as a soldier you can't kick]

[camouflage]

It pays to see things from both sides sometimes.

[or, at least, to SEEM like you're neutral]

[brokeassgoing]

thats some 1000 origami swan stuff man. thats rough

[camouflage]

[says the girl who would just walk right over his metaphorical bridge in this metaphorical scenario towards the metaphorical man with the metaphorical gun]

Caution is walking right into the enemy's line of sight and being confident in not dying?

[sounds fake as shit rey]

[camouflage]

[he's assuming barrier isn't in the literal sense]

Well, at least you know it leaves you open to retaliation. Do you make people grovel often? [cause it sure sounds like it]

[camouflage]

[oh red, if only you knew]

You sure about that? You don't really know me.

[although she seems interesting enough to know]

[camouflage]

It was kind of sudden.

[i mean you just kind of blurted it out lavellan. granted, john kind of pushed you into a corner by typing a scenario that was literally the situation you're in.]

[camouflage]

[1000 what]

Well, they couldn't contain me and I'm never going back. All that matters.

[haHAA]

[liberaltus]

[You should never assume when it comes to mages, Ishmael.]

Only a foolish mage would display magic ostentatiously and not protect their arse. [Dorian was flashy, but always cautious.] Ah, I only make people grovel when they really deserve it. You want to get back into my good graces after trying to kill me? Grovel a bit, I'll get bored eventually and then we can celebrate moving beyond past ugly business with a good stout.

[Out of curiosity.]

Does that sort of thing bother you?

[camouflage]

[it was more a rhetorical question anyway. he knows no one has any answers for him, including himself.]

We've gotten off track.

['we're playing too close to the chest and i'm just gonna shut this down right now']

This isn't about me. If you don't want to answer the scenario, we don't really have anything else to discuss.

[bYE]

[camouflage]

Nope. You're just the first person I've seen so ready to forgive if someone grovels in front you.

[it's kind of a hilarious concept]

If we're ever in this situation, you're gonna have to make me do something else. I'm old, my knees are too stiff for groveling.

[have some levity with this metaphorical mess]

[switchcircuit]

[but she doesn't know, and here they are...! NO REGRETS]

Yup! :D I'm sure.

I'll even um, well i can't really cook for anything BUT we'll have pizza together how about that?

[brokeassgoing]

did you fuckin break outta the hospital

[liberaltus]

What can I say, I'm easy...with some things at least. The friendship wouldn't be quite the same after that, admittedly, but holding onto a grudge can be stressful. I try to avoid that when I can.

[except for when it comes to his father]

I have a poultice for that, and pillows, soft pillows. I'm sure we can ease the suffering of your stiff knees in order to make it work. Of course you'd have to attempt to kill me first, but why would you want to kill someone so charming and handsome?

[Dorian is good with levity]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

Knowing their motives
Would help us with that as well.
We're left in the dark.

[ventifact]

[you don't understand she's really good at staying alive]

first of all you never said he was an enemy in your post
you just said it was a man with a gun
that is pretty ambiguous
a lot of people carry guns

[morethan084]

Well that's definitely one way to get to know them.

I'm Daisy.

[lavelly]

well i suppose you succeeded in learning more than you ever wanted to know

[nishizono]

you travel a lot on bridges

you probably shouldn't pick too many fights on bridges if that's the case

[soldiergenes]

[ geez dad

it's 100% about you but you just keep telling yourself that ]

[startpoint]

It's been different, shifting from a war to all this.

How does the scenario end by the way? Did I choose correctly?

[ There really are some habits you really can't kick, like a constant need for validation. ]

[notyourrookie]

What can I say? I'm an overachiever.

[nicearsenal]

You don't exactly get far in the world if you don't have an instinct for self-preservation. Darwin and all that, right? Survival of the fittest.

[Chloe's not even going to pretend that she's an angel; she's dirtied her hands before and she'll do it again.]

[camouflage]

You can never know too much.

[well except when it was information concerning your death at the hands of your own son that might drive you up the wall a little or that your best friend apparently goes crazy and attaches an arm belonging to your other son to himself

wait. uh.]

[camouflage]

[shit, his one weakness: satisfying his stomach]

Now I can't say no.
