why me

[psychobabblery]

I wish I could say I am as surprised as you are, but I'd prefer to start off on at least some level of honesty, as there will be time enough for all manner of facetiousness and cutting remarks in the near future.
That is, if things go according to plan.
Which is a rarity, I admit, considering our similar track records with fate's slippery interventions and inter weavings.
Still, if the prospect of abject failure is not enough to deter you, then I suspect my advice won't have any effect whatsoever, and you will proceed to do what you will regardless.
In any case, you have quite a bit more reading to do before we can ponder any further actions.
You might want to get on that.

Nyahaha! 'Fate', huh? Didn't anyone ever tell you that 'fate' changes about as much as war does, in the long run?

[And as we all know, war never changes. It's nowhere near grammatically correct but Henry doesn't care.]

[sharkfoodbound]

No wonder she's got so damn much left to read if you're always as wordy as this.

henryyy

[psychobabblery]

It changes, yes.
A nudge here.
A rearrangement there.
Perhaps a last ditch effort way in the back.
Up against the wall, refusing to dance like all the others, sugary swill in hand.
But it can't evade the chaperones forever, or the groove as their jam begins to play.

[psychobabblery]

I'm actually not.

[sharkfoodbound]

Oh? So less the word count and more the pretentious eloquence, huh.

[psychobabblery]

Is there any other kind?

[sharkfoodbound]

No.

But I guess what looks pretentious to me could seem totally called for for somebody else.

[psychobabblery]

Congratulations.
You now know what empathy is.
Your parents must be so proud.

[sharkfoodbound]

Thank you, thank you.
Lucky for me having empathy and caring are two very different things.

[psychobabblery]

You're welcome.
Nihilism must be turning up so many four leaf clovers for you.
I would say all of them but we both know I don't mean that.

[sharkfoodbound]

Oh? Is not caring to empathise the same thing as nihilism now? You're quick to put labels on things.

[psychobabblery]

Yes, that's me.
The fastest labeler on what's left of the planet.

[sharkfoodbound]

That must've been one hell of a party.

[psychobabblery]

It was.
But then, like so many parties in the past, a noise complaint got filed, and the police swarmed in, arresting underage drinkers and a man attempting to escape via the balcony.

[sharkfoodbound]

And where are you in that metaphor?

[psychobabblery]

The one who let off fire crackers in the middle of it, I believe.

[sharkfoodbound]

Did you get away? Or is that still up in the air?

[psychobabblery]

I think so.
Now the remainder of our party is attempting to crash another one, bringing with them much needed vodka cocktails and a squadron of police cars still in pursuit.

[sharkfoodbound]

Tch, always with the police. You'd think they'd figure out there's no point.

[psychobabblery]

Alas.

roooooose (oh my god i am so sorry that last comment made no sense)

[anoblecaws]

[it was like one am]

Wrong again. No one ever said you couldn't dump that swill in their faces and stab 'em while they're blind!

it's no biggie!

[psychobabblery]

There are only so many ways you can stick needles in a giants' eyes.
I know that from experience.

[anoblecaws]

No, see, I'm an expert at sticking needles in eyes.

[The way he's grinning, Henry looks more than slightly insane.]

I mean, you can just stab them right in there, use magic to bring them down and then stab them right in there, take out one and wait for the giant to kill itself in it half-blinded fury, great rivers of blood streaming down its face... mmm, yeah...

[psychobabblery]

Yes.
And then you can reap the great shale and grist harvest that awaits.
However, this still brings us to only three methods, at least that you've listed.
How many more are there?
Are we accounting for the variety of needles that could be used?

[anoblecaws]

Oh, well, obviously. And then there are things that aren't needles. Like, why carry needles when you just use a hex that can make their eyes explode on their own? It's way easier! ...Unless you can't do that, in which case, you are totally missing out.
