"No, parry, THEN thrust! Sigh, are you fighting in a hallway? No? Then don't move like you are. There's more than one dimension of movement." 'Jim' remarked... in spite of being just a skull on a table holding his sword with his teeth, 'Jim' still flawless disarmed the lad during their latest fencing lesson.

Every victim of lycanthropy able to trace their infection the way to patient zero, King Lycaon, asshat cursed by Zeus for murdering and serving his own son to the gods at a feast. ..."
"So is this history lesson gonna be on the examine teacher?" Spark gave a sarcastic remark.
"So can we skip the part where you think I'm here to murder people for having weird superpowers?"
"... I'm guessing that happens often?" Gloria asked.
"Plenty of kids who think that's how I work..."
"Okay... can you stop pointing the guns now?"
"Oh! Sorry! Force of habit!"
