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.

[There's another long pause, like he really has to think about it.]

I think I have, yes. What does it matter?

Even if you had to hurt a little to get back to feeling that way...

If that was the end result, would you do it?

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

[He thinks of Ellen.]

[He thinks of Olivia.]


I can't say.

But I know that sort of stuff never lasts anyways.

Besides, wouldn't the pain just taint that?

You're wrong about that.

It can last.


[That's what he believes at least.]

You'll find it, I promise you.

You just have to fight a little harder, I think.

How optimistic.

And how should I fight, exactly?

If this is about a girl (or guy) who dumped you, don't sweat it. There will be others.

I'm not too sure about the specifics, but it doesn't seem like you're a big fan of who you are as a person.

Trust me, I know what that's like. God! Do I freakin' know.

Work on thing things you don't like about yourself, maybe. Do something nice for someone else. Try and have a laugh with somebody.

You might have to figure it out on your own.

Disregard that! I didn't mean it, I mistyped.

[hahhHAHAHA NO]

And I'll do what I want to do. You don't know how I feel, okay?

Maybe not, but I'd like to.

Again, if you ever wanna make that call, I'll be right here.
headlining: (do it better than anybody)

[personal profile] headlining 2016-10-19 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever.

Watch your mouth, okay?

It's okay if you aren't ready right now.

Just, whenever. Let your boy know.

You're not "my boy", Asher.

We'll see.

[His nose crinkles slightly on the other end.

There's that barb again, that prickly reminder. They are not friends, or so Keats says, and while respecting that wish would probably be the right thing to do that's just not how Asher sees it. How can anyone want to be alone?

If there's any way he can keep someone else from suffering that fate, he'll oblige.

But for right now, this conversation is getting nowhere, and so Asher fails to respond.
