It's occurred to me that since our membership shifts and our backgrounds vary so much, it might be good to compare what we're capable of. More to the point, I was thinking we might be able to help each other pick up relevant skills, if not hone the ones we already have.

If people are looking to train or think they could help others, why don't we discuss that here? I know at least a few of us don't have backgrounds in combat, for example. On our first day here I met someone who wasn't familiar with firearms but might get good use out of the skill, for another.

In my case, I have experience training others and can help with hand-to-hand combat. I can work with people ranging from average human strength to well above it. I've got some skill with swords and knives, but I wouldn't compare that to someone who specializes in them, and that's something I'd like to work on. In terms of non-combative skills, if someone wants to work on something like cooking, I'm reasonably helpful there.

Let's see how we can help each other improve.

I KNOW A WIDE VARIETY OF ESSENTIAL AND NONESSENTIAL THINGS, AND I EVEN HAVE A VAGUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE THINGS I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT.

[pummelling]

That description's not completely useless at all.

[boneafide]

I'M GLAD WE AGREE!

[pummelling]

[holy shit. he's alive.]

Whoa. Easy-going AND clever. I've gotta say, I'm really blown away here.

[boneafide]

AS YOU SHOULD BE, BY SOMEONE AS IMPRESSIVE AS ME.

[pummelling]

You're right. Jumping AND landing? You've got a good thing going.

[boneafide]

SOMETIMES I EVEN JUMP AND DON'T BOTHER WITH LANDING.

[pummelling]

[wait

now he doesnt know if this is a joke or not]

So, you just

...float????

[boneafide]

WELL I WOULDN'T CALL IT FLOATING.

[pummelling]

Then what exactly would you call it?

[boneafide]

FALLING- WITH STYLE.

[pummelling]

That was awful.

[moneyballer]

b cool ok let my skelebro live his life

[pummelling]

[have it your way, mr. 'i can be ur daddy']

I am. He's...

...

charming.

[kikoku]

[HE JUST... ARE ALL MAGIC SKELETONS LIKE THIS?]

Ok but... you understand that pretty much everyone is capable of "knowing things," right? It's a basic function of being alive.

[boneafide]

[ no. sans is a little worse. ]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE MET A LOT OF ALIVE THINGS THAT HAVE TROUBLE KNOWING THINGS.

[kikoku]

[Sans is a different kind of unbelievable.]

Really.
Like what exactly?

[boneafide]

YOU KNOW! JUST NORMAL THINGS LIKE "DON'T TORTURE PEOPLE."

[Whoops sorry Law, shit got deep for a second.]

[kikoku]

[Law is maybe not the best person to have this discussion with given that he has ripped people's hearts intact out of their chests and used them as ransom. But Papyrus doesn't have to know that.]

So you mean things like "morals"
It the fact that what you said was very vague that people are questioning it.

[boneafide]

THAT'S OKAY. IF THEY QUESTION IT, I MEAN.

[kikoku]

[Well in that case it's fine if it's vague, he supposes....]

You really don't worry about things much, do you?
[It's this weird combination of high energy and absolute chill]

[boneafide]

IF I WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAID OR DID ALL THE TIME, I'D BE DEAD!!

NYEH HEH HEH!! IT'S A JOKE, GET IT? BECAUSE I'M NOT DEAD.

[kikoku]

...
See I thought it was a joke because you're a skeleton.

[boneafide]

WHY WOULD THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT? IT'S NOT LIKE A MADE A BONE JOKE.

[kikoku]

because...

[He's sure he's had a conversation like this with Papyrus before and he can't believe it's happening again.]

Humans usually associate skeletons with death because a human corpse will eventually decompose into one, you know.
