What NOT To Do In A Fight / Period III / Week 13 (Atreides/Deadpool)

"One myth of combat that seems to persevere no matter what, is that there is some way a fight can be civilized," Ghanima stated.

"Like, you know, not hitting a chick when she's tryin' to kill you because apparently they're weaker or something. I got my ass kicked by Squirrel Girl. But then again, so did Thanos and Doom. So I feel comfortable with that," Deadpool added. "Another thing is acting like a gentleman in a fight. Which is just the dumbest thing you can do because they're gonna kill your ass, not just wait around for you to follow the rules."

"People seem to think that there are certain rules, unwritten or otherwise, that dictate how a battle can be waged," she agreed. "My universe has rules of engagement about assassination and the fighting between the Great Houses. In reality? We all cheat."

"Or some places have societal rules about how men shouldn't hit women, which is true - no one should hit anyone out of anger - but the idea that only a female can take on another female is ridiculous. In a fight, you fight to win, not for honor."

Deadpool just had to add, "...but chick fights are hot."

He knew Ghanima was going to hit him upside the head for that, right? Right.

And she knew he would smack her ass back, right? Right. "So, all you little feebs are gonna talk to each other about times when you've didn't fight by the rules and or fought a girl. Yes, both genders have to talk about it."

Take notes, pass notes, whatever.

Discuss times when you've didn't fight by the rules and or fought a girl. Or girls, talk about how frustrating it is when guys won't take you seriously and pull their punches or refuse to fight at all.

"It's stupid," Kennedy announced without any lead-in whatsoever, "when guys think I'm not gonna fight, or they can totally take me because they're three times my size or whatever."

To be fair, she looked like she weighed about eighty pounds; imposing she most definitely was not.

"Or because I'm a girl, but then, kinda goes without saying that part's dumb. On the other hand--" and she was kind of unrepentant about this-- "the looks on their faces when I do? Pretty satisfying. Which is not to say I don't appreciate how that's less of an issue around here most of the time."

"Well, for me," said Wesley, with an air of expecting to be the ultimate authority on a subject, "I was always taught to expect strength from girls. As a Watcher, it's difficult to develop the mindset of treating girls as fragile little things when the entirety of my job consisted of helping superpowered women be champions." True facts, guys. "So, in spars and such, I have, er, 'fought' girls, so to speak. Though -- usually I've lost."

Faith. Kennedy. Buffy. The list went on.

"Not always superpowered ones," Kennedy just had to butt in, even if she did appreciate the fact he had her back on this topic. "I mean, just saying, I kinda kicked your ass."

...she appreciated it. It didn't mean she'd be delicate about it. So, so sorry, Wesley.

"Fair enough," Wesley laughed. "Fine. Superpowered and non-superpowered alike. You're very strong. And Katniss can out-shoot me with a bow and the list goes on."

Really, he was just a big ol' weakling. Unless guns were involved. That was another story.

"Exactly," Kennedy said smugly, spreading her hands. "Then again, with you I sorta expect that kind of perspective."

"Oh?" Wesley asked, a small smile creeping onto his face. "How so?"

Hey, come on. Free potential compliments. Or, free Potential compliments! Ah, puns...

That pun was sort of obligatory, wasn't it?

"Well, it is your job," Kennedy pointed out. Or was his job, past tense? "I mean, you got all educated on how to teach girls to kick ass, so it's not like it's a surprise we're capable of it."

Hush. She had a while to go before she got to watch the disillusioning creepy shadow-puppet play and found out the whole arrangement had started with less than noble intentions.

Ah, the shadow puppet play. Not to worry, Kennedy -- Wes hadn't seen the play either. It was one of those things they neglected to mention in favor of teaching those impressionable young Watchers to love their jobs.

"Well, true," he agreed, grinning now. "I suppose there's really no way for me to take the men's side of this discussion, hmm?"

Also it was, for the time being, conveniently locked away in a bag along with a collection of Slayer-related artifacts that would quite possibly mysteriously start to exist when someone needed a plot device.

"You could say that." She leaned back in her chair. "Or you could just say you're more clued in than a lot of guys. I'd go with that one. It sounds kinda impressive."

Hey, don't knock the mysteriously-starting-to-exist thing. After all, Potentials were one of those things, weren't they?

"I'll make sure to say that," Wesley laughed. "In case anyone asks."

...oh, yeah. Good point, that.

"So, I gotta ask," Kennedy barged on. "What's the official Council stance on fighting dirty, and how much do we even care about it?"

She never got a good answer to that out of Constance, so she might as well try a new source...

Huh. Well... that was an interesting question. Huh.

"I believe, generally speaking, it's acceptable," Wes ventured. "It's vampires, after all. But it's not something we really learned much about at the Academy." He tilted his head, considering. "My guess would be that policy allows for whatever's necessary."

"Our world's vampires and demons," Kennedy clarified quickly-- and a little loudly, since she had friends who fell under both columns, some of them possibly within earshot. "Not to blanket-statement everyone. Um."

"Oh, of course," Wesley hastened to say. "I mean. Our world's vampires and demons. Certainly."

Awkward.

"But, er, yes. Fighting dirty."

Kennedy grinned in that I have an awesome idea and by awesome I mean you should worry kind of way.

"Sweet. Thanks for clearing that up."

"Sometimes, I hesitate if I have to fight a girl, but there are a lot of really wicked ladies out there who will hurt anyone if it means getting away with whatever crime they've committed, so I don't--I mean, I probably wouldn't have a problem dealing with them. If I had to," Jason said.

Momoko pinched her lip. "I don't think I've ever had someone refuse to fight me because I'm a girl. I've had to fight boys who don't fight fair, though."

Because really, farting as a super attack? EW!

They're around, and Ghanima is possibly proving she has no issues with hitting Wade for being, well, Wade.

After a painful day of being up and down... Deadpool was there. Possibly. Goddamn Russia.

Simple class in case LJ gets another case of the downers.
