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.

Comments

[moneyballer]

Yeah alright, keep shitting on the people bothering to make this place a little better in whatever ways they can, why don't you.

[He's reading ur comments, binch]

"Law?"

Like as in, the law? No friggin' way.

[kikoku]

[He knows Nami better than you do, step off. He's just going to ignore that comment though because he doesn't care if he comes off as a jerk.]

You know, there are a lot of names that are also regular words, I don't see what's so unbelievable about "Law."

i...

[moneyballer]

I mean, with that logic, you could name a child "Titty" and get away with it.

Just sayin'.

ASHER

[kikoku]

[.............]

Technically you can name your child anything but that's not the point.
Maybe it's a weird name where you come from but there are a lot stranger names in Big Blue.
[There's also a lot more normal names too... but it's all relative, isn't it.]

1/2

[moneyballer]

[He does a double take because initially, he read that as "Big Boob." Well, we know where his mind is.]

oh my god

[big bloo... sky? heaven]

you're dead aren't you

2/2

[moneyballer]

[The following text is sent minutes later, as an afterthought:]

rip

[kikoku]

[Well he wasn't going to be more than mildly irritated, until that "rip." It makes what was phrased as a question really more of a flat out assumption. And that's apparently crossing a line.]

Don't just assume on your own that I'm dead!!

What are you even basing this on???

audio

[moneyballer]

[The feed switches from text to audio, although there are no words. All that can be heard is the something that sounds like it would be featured at a military funeral, save for the fact that it is slightly off-key and played on a kazoo.]

Video

[kikoku]

[Law's only response is to switch to video just to flip Asher off for that response.

I hope this gloomy asshole is exactly how you pictured him. Definitely don't try to figure out what's written on his knuckles.]

text;

[moneyballer]

[wow hunni that goatee needs a touch up, and oh god, that hat? asher has mixed feelings about it

The feed switches back to text, and all Law will get in reply is the following:]

suck my dick, motherfuckaaaaa

Text

[kikoku]

[His actual hat is currently missing to be replaced by a cow skin cowboy hat so it's even worse. Still has the spots though.]

Anyway I'm not dead
[Just... Ignoring that RUDE TEXT.]

Why would I be dead?

[moneyballer]

[o right SHIT he should be nicer to this guy, seeing as he's kicked the bucket and all]

um????

ur username? lmao...

[kikoku]

[False, don't be nice to Law, he's a jerk who doesn't deserve it.]

oh
no

no I picked this because it was shorter than "surgeon of death"
That's what the Marines call me.

[moneyballer]

[Surgeon of D-]

so you're just... a reaaaally bad doctor?

damn, that's even worse than being dead

[says u, literally the shittiest law student 2 ever breathe air]

[kikoku]

[It just keeps getting worse for Law, doesn't it.]

That's not it at all!
It's because of the ability I have, the way I use it to fight.
The Marines WANT to make us sound bad because to them we're criminals.

I'm a perfectly good doctor. Ask anyone.

[moneyballer]

yeaaaaah, bcuz that doesn't sound shady at ALL

(being totally sarcastic btw, lol)

[kikoku]

I'm aware of how it sounds
that's literally the point

you DO know what "criminal" means, right?

[moneyballer]

yes, asshole

im studying criminal law

[u don't wanna see his gpa after the first year tho

admittedly, some Things happened, he's still from a point in time where he cared about school]

[kikoku]

You're studying to be a... lawyer?

[... Wait a second.]

Is that why you reacted so weirdly to my name?

[moneyballer]

bitch it might be

[Translation: Yes.]

[kikoku]

[He's.... not sure what to make of that response but he is entirely sure that it is stupid.]

... Just "Trafalgar" is fine too, then.
[Literally no one here calls him by his surname but back home plenty of people do.]

[moneyballer]

that's 2 long

law it is

nice 2 meet u (ho)

[kikoku]

[He could complain that it really isn't, but Asher isn't even the first person to make that complaint, so he really doesn't have a leg to stand on. More importantly, that last word there is... questionable.]

excuse me?

[moneyballer]

byeeeeeeeeee

[Read: "bye," pronounced "BYE-YEE," as if uttered by some sorority girl.]

[I don't have a response I just needed you to know thats how I read it.]
