Hanslanda, stop challenging forum-goers to deadly roof-top battles.

Anyway, in terms of spatial sense and fitness, I suppose I'd be alright at martial arts. It's interesting working on a farm with poor facilities (when I say interesting, I mean deadly) so one learns to act quickly. Fun times getting a cow to stop by literally jumping on its horns and dragging its head around, or avoiding crazed-mummy-cow-trying-to-escape-and-incidentally-crush-you. Let's not forget the time part of the roof, including a beam, collapsed and I had to throw myself backwards. Or the time the cattle broke a gate and sent it flying, though granted it was just chance that had me standing just away from it and not spatial awareness.

Farms are dangerous places.

... How do you feel about rooftops and thunderstorms?

My little musketeer beard/moustache ensemble twitches with excitement at the thought.

*crosses out Arx and writes Rowanas on his "List of Forumites to Duel On a Thunderstorm Swept Rooftop*

I've often been nicknamed D'artagnon, but I'm more of a miniature Porthos.  Can we tumble off the edge to an almost-certain doom, only for one of us to reappear at a plot-convenient moment?

I mean, you could always volunteer as tribute.

I'm pretty fast, reaction wise. I don't think I'd be bad at martial arts. The few fights I've been in ended well for me. The one time I got headlocked, I forced them to flip me over and took them with me. I'm not entirely sure how I didn't pass out, it was a really good headlock.

I also have absurd pain tolerance. Which could be good and bad in a fight. I am a firm believer in de-escalating conflicts, avoiding violence, and if violence becomes necessary, then using overwhelming and brutal force to eliminate the threat as fast as possible. Or running. I prefer running.

Yes.

Usually it's the antagonist who dies, though. And let's face it, you're not being protagonisty here Hanslanda.

We can always flip the script, break the trope.

[TD1]

Trope-breaking is so cliche.

My only contribution is one time when three girls from school posted a group-selfie and captioned it with "The Three Musketeers!", and I posted a comment asking where the fourth person was.

Nah, we both survive. Also I'm definitely the antagonist. They have way more fun and get to do the coolest stuff.

Piss off!  I'm British, and we always get to be the villain.  Maybe that's what the fight on the rooftop is for - whoever survives was clearly the protagonist, and thus also the loser of the competition.

Incidentally, the path to proving your innocence is littered with many heinous crimes.

You're the underdog that was innocent all along, and is presently on a quest for redemption/to prove themselves innocent.

While I'm an externally cheerful, sober and law-abiding citizen, who hides an alter-ego capable of unfathomable evil in the name of his misguided crusade.  A classic likable villain vs antihero.

...n-no. I did all those drugs. I wasn't falsely imprisoned.

But if my family ever dies, I'm planning on becoming a highly effective domestic terrorist.

I'm not the whiny kind of angsty antihero though. I'm a snarky, sarcastic stoic who hides behind a facade of humor to mask the deep unending void in my soul.

[Dunamisdeos]

You have a very particular set of skills.

Stupid pinky toe is still all bruised and sore from catching it on a bag handle three days ago.  I had just gotten back into proper exercise, but I have to keep weight off it.  My boots help, but extended walking just doesn't feel good.

It's not swollen though, and the bruises are discrete rather than the whole thing being purple, so I'm pretty sure it's on the mend.  It's pretty weird how pain works though.  Immediate pain, fairly sharp but nothing broken, so I shook it off.  Then several hours later I realized that it still hurt.  And now three days.

I want to go hiking ):  Also day to day walking hurts significantly, but I can deal with that, I really want to go hiking
