If I only had a brain...

But it's a real roll and a fake knife. Hardly seems fair.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I read this as "But it's a real doll and a fake knife." Was horribly confused.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, what made it even more surprising is I normally suck at rolling. At least coming from a standing position. If I'm already on the ground I'm okay. I just have a lot of trouble getting my head to go below my feet. Same reason I can't dive into water.

Our wings are not tired

So I did a threadsuck and my scan for ND and I found this

I would have sympathy for ND (Noise Design! We is talking about you.) behind this, if he wasn't getting all the tall-dark-and-scrumptuous vote as it was.

Um, was there some kind of voting that I missed. If so, I think we need a group vision plan here.

Good to be back home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You gotta earn the privilege of playing with real knives. And don't think people don't -- the part of a putative black belt test I'm least looking forward to? Defending against live knife.

Both I and the friend I was sparring with just stood there staring at each other going "I can't believe I/you just did that."

Yeah, that was the reaction.

Will they have a medic on hand to stitch you up, if needs be?

There's a fire station across the street.

The people in the last test were the luckiest ever -- a doctor (and a dentist, now that I think about it) was among the candidates. But he got knocked out, so he had to stop taking the test. Okay, he wasn't lucky, but they were, because he stayed around and dispensed emergency first aid as required. I may need to find a med student who'll be all ready to go by the time I might get to test.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Holy cow. Didn't you tell us somebody inevitably gets cut in a knife fight?
