Question!

A friend of yours has a problem. A really big, bad problem that makes them do things they don't want to do, including hurting other people. You find out about that problem.

Do you:

A. Try to find a way to help them and support them and be there for them, only giving up if and when it's obvious they can't be helped.

or

B. Be terrible and mean and tell them not to talk to you or anyone you know ever again, then not bother telling any of their real friends about their problem so they can still get some help.

Definitely needing guidance here so if anyone has any experience in something like this, that'd be awesome.

	Yeah but I bet he can get out of a pair of handcuffs faster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're considering a competition now, aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maaaybe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm game if he is. Though maybe when I don't have vampire reflexes on my side. Not exactly the fairest circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But then he'll have magic and might cheat! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parker, you taught me. Do you really think magic cheating would make that much of a difference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Good point. Plus, he's used to manacles, not handcuffs. Big diff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	likevanhelsing 2011-03-29 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Have we done manacles? I don't think we have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. I haven't had a decent set of manacles since... 2001, I think. I'll have to look into getting some! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't even know what handcuffs are so I've no doubt that he can. Though usually I've got magic so who knows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're a form of restraints that go around your wrists. He can almost tie with me for my record of quickest escape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oftwominds 2011-03-29 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	Fascinating. You make a habit of escaping them? I'm always a fan of a good escape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	It's a hobby of mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oftwominds 2011-03-29 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Mine too. Though once the Templars started asking for directions staying escaped got a bit tricky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Tricky is what makes it fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oftwominds 2011-03-29 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	Well until they try to run you through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe for you, sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oftwominds 2011-03-29 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	I just have a general aversion to people trying to kill me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	royal_bastard 2011-03-29 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Think manacles but more flimsy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oftwominds 2011-03-29 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	More flimsy? Well then that would probably be no trouble at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	inafivepoundbag 2011-03-29 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh! Manacles! Now that brings back some memories. (Reply to this) (Parent)
