A new weapon showed up in my apartment today. It's called the Pick Axe of Despair. Yeah, I know, it's Edgelord for days, but I didn't name it and I don't want to know what happens if I don't call it by whatever is etched into the handle.

Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that I am absolute shit using this weapon and would like to learn how to wield it so I don't look like a flailing sideways windmill.

	You could always... sell it? Trade something you're better with? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	All these things that come from my other life have to do with a deranged paranormal serial killer. I'm not comfortable trying to pawn that off onto someone else. Besides, I'm always the one who ends up needing to be rescued. I kinda want to learn how to be better at defending myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm I saw you at Fight Club, I don't think you're allowed to suggest you need to be better at defending yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm still not convinced that whole thing wasn't a fluke. . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure suggesting that you beat seasoned veterans as a 'fluke' is going to be well received by them :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No! Sorry!! That's not what I meant! I mean. I've watched you fight before and you're good. Everyone there is really good. Like scary good. And I'm...I'm the scrawny mortal dude who ghosts use as a battery. Not exactly what you think of as a fighter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, clearly you're selling yourself short if you're doing well against people you consider to be 'really good.' Otherwise, why sign up for Fight Club? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did the ghosts take over? I don't understand. If you don't know how to fight, how did you win? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't say I that I didn't know how to fight. I don't know how to fight well, or at least I thought I didn't. Also, there is a difference between fighting with fists and fighting with weapons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a trained knight and a blacksmith, Henry, I know all about fighting with weapons or not. :) But we're just going back to what I already said, you must be selling yourself short if you think you can't fight well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah...sorry, I am really good at putting my foot in my mouth today.

I guess I never thought of myself as a fighter. Where I lived before everyone around me was either a great fighter or had some kind of ability or magic that made them powerful and I was just...Henry.

And that's always how I pictured myself. I wanted to get better so I could help them and I've been working on it. So, I guess it's alright for me to say that I'm not that bad. Right?
