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?

i shoot him before he can shoot me and step over the body

[camouflage]

What if it's someone you're close to?

[sketchycharacter]

if they're still pointing a gun at me, that means i probably pissed them off and we're not friends anymore
actually knowing the people i've pissed off in the past, they probably shot me already
in which case i fake dead until they go away and then crawl across
depends where they shoot me though

[camouflage]

You sound like you make enemies pretty easily.

[sketchycharacter]

i know right? and i'm such a nice guy
but people keep trying to shoot me
occasionally succeeding

[camouflage]

Be more impervious to bullets, I guess.

[this coming from a guy who's spent like the last 30 years being shot at for little to no reason. well, you know, besides the whole soldier and eternal war thing. whatever.

anyway, nathan is marked as 'troublemaker, thinks outside the box']

[sketchycharacter]

[Nathan is marked correctly.]

if that were an option i'd have done it before a former friend gut-shot me and left me hanging off the side of a cliff in a train.

Well. Technically the second part hadn't been Harry's fault. But Nate hadn't had a lot of options at the time.]

[camouflage]

Rough. Did you return the favor?

[sketchycharacter]

not really
this psychopath warlord we were unfortunately acquainted with shot him first
then he blew himself up with a grenade
so there wasn't much more i could do

[Piss on the ashes, maybe.]

[camouflage]

Well. At least he got what was coming to him.

[sketchycharacter]

i guess
not really something i was specifically going for
besides, he as here for a while and that made it hard to hold a grudge
knowing i had a life to go back to eventually and he didn't

[camouflage]

Those who are your enemies and those who are your allies can change in an instant. It's better for anyone in the long run not to hold a grudge.

The way people come and go here, you shouldn't worry yourself about it.

i'm well aware
some people are worth trusting though
thanks for the advice i guess
