I have seen some discussion concerning the people who are still in pods and it has led me to wondering. How would you handle someone you have unpleasant history with being here?

it's not a style of fighting that just anyone can do. it requires a certain affinity for a power known in our universe.

this other person wields it too, but i'm not certain whether she would be the right person to train me. she seems just as keen on fighting me as he does.

That does sound like a problem. Something something, learn by doing?

[Though it's questionable why he's encouraging this at all. Boredom, maybe.]

[invariances]

learn from whom?

[ a reasonable question. ]

[jensaarai]

From fighting. Do or don't, there's no trying.

he just yoda'd her and i'm loling 😆

[ ...who made that bantha fodder up. ]

that's the most ridiculous logic i've ever heard.

there is only to try. nothing else is assured or set in stone.

he's the worst motivational speaker

[jensaarai]

You sound like a quitter. No wonder you lost your fight.

[ ...whoah.

she tries to stay calm, to deliver some sort of cool, rational response in the face of his scathing criticism, but all she can come up with is: ]

SLEEMO


[ in caps, no less. ]

[jensaarai]

[Looks like he got a rise out of her. Another point for team Ren? He thinks so.]

I don't even know what that means, but I'm going to assume that it was very mature of you.

[invariances]

you called me a quitter, i called you the huttese version of a slimeball.

fair trade, as far as i'm concerned.

[jensaarai]

That's hardly fair. There is a difference in pointing out a flaw in your attitude, and disparaging me when you know nothing about me.

[invariances]

but somehow you assume to know me well enough to question my own tenacity, is that it? you know nothing of me, either.

the fact that you have unpleasant history with someone here isn't surprising, in the least.

[jensaarai]

I'm just calling it like I see it, birdie.

Perhaps we're more alike than you think.

[invariances]

[ ....BIRDIE??? ]

on the contrary, i don't go around insulting strangers. how's that working out for you, in this place?

[jensaarai]

[That's obviously the only reference to 'falcon' out there!]

Reread everything you've written and reevaluate that statement, cooha.

[invariances]

YOU INSULTED ME FIRST [ obviously the most mature response. ]

and am i supposed to know what the kriff a 'cooha' is, or are you expecting me to guess??

[ ...if it's referring to some specific body part, u in trouble, son ]
