Writer's Block: Spirits ..................... and Bullies

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

[Error: unknown template qotd] Eheh . . . I don't normally do these kinds of things, but I just couldn't ignore this one.  Hey, Other-Me, do we believe in ghosts?  XD;;;;

[Funny, Aibou.  Put down the coffee, get off the computer, and finish getting ready for school, now.  No more dawdling!]

*groan*  . . . You know Snake's going to be there.

[ . . . Yes, I know.]

............................ Maybe . . . maybe I can skip-

[No, Aibou.  You can't skip school.  You know that.]

And you can't Shadow Game him.

[ . . . we'll think of something.]

 . . . Hey, I know!  I'll ask our friends at DramaDramaDuck!  *turns back to the computer*  Hey, guys!  Hey . . . does anyone have suggestions how to deal with a gang-banger bully?  Erm . . . one that . . . doesn't involve outright fighting . . . or magic of any kind?  Or at least something that won't get me kicked out of school and/or arrested.  u.u  Thanks!

I was going to suggest kicking them in the crotch, but fighting puts that right out.

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

Heh . . . yup. Even if I wasn't caught by a teacher, /he'd/ kill me for trying. Frankly, I'm too short to kick that high, though I could punch him, but I saw someone try that once, and he's tough enough that . . . it hurt him, but not enough to stop him from catching and pounding the guy. I'm pretty fast, but he's got a /lot/ more leg-length on me. Plus all his bully friends.

I'd say stand up to him, but sounds like you'd need backup. How old is this kid anyway?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, I know when to stand up to someone. When it's really counted, I've stood up to plenty of people - not just bullies but big-time gamers, business moguls, madmen and worse. I even helped save the world once, not that that's really important here, but... But that's been for something really important. This is just over something silly, and I'd really rather have it be as little a scene as possible . . . /if/ possible.

Um . . . he's the same grade I am, but I think he may have been held back in school at least once or twice. So he's at least seventeen, maybe more.

[strikethrough easily hackable - Yugi's /not/ much computer saavy LOL]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Do you have any older friends you could get to beat him up for you?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

No. It'd only perpetuate things anyway, I think. I'll think of something.

Tell a teacher?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I tried that, the first time this guy and his gang started making trouble. Actually, it was because he was he was harrassing a girl behind the gym, and a guy - her boyfriend, I think - tried to come to her rescue. Anyway, the teachers didn't prove overly helpful. And I thought Snake was going to break my arm when he found out.

Is . . . is this kind of thing normal for American schools? I've . . . kind of heard they can be rough. Not that I didn't have my share of trouble back home, too. Erm, I'm from Japan.

Oh, I don't think we've met, by the way. I'm Mutou Yugi. Pleased to meet you.

Oh... I suppose then freezing them would be out of the question.

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

LOL - unfortunately, I'm afraid so. Not really nice to think about, even if he might deserve it.

[Oh, I don't know, Aibou. Might be a lot kinder than anything /I'd/ do to him . . . ]

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Well, if you change your mind you know where to find I.
And believe me when I say it won't take long and they won't feel a thing... Well, besides the nippy winds. [Chuckle]

^{(Srs he will... and love the icon btw :D)}

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't really accomplish anything, though. Not ultimately.

[No . . . it wouldn't. *sigh* A Penalty Game, on the other hand...] [strikes hackable]

((*snerk* Well if he ever decided to take matters into his own hands for whatever reason . . . - Thanks! Yeah, me too! I have another one that says something along the lines of "My fandom is of two minds about everything" or something like that. LOL))

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Well... he'd be a lovely piece of ice work. :D

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

LOL - that /would/ be a sight, I think.

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Touche. That it would be.

You've never seen a person frozen solid?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

Ano... n-no, can't . . . that I have. O.o

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Well, like I say if you want you'll see one... ^Maybe..

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Oh my! Can you not reason with them?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

I wish . . . These are the kinds of people you /can't/ reason with. Not that they're not intelligent. I mean they'll deliberately twist things you try to say if it suits their purposes, you know? Their story is the only "truth" - that kind of thing. Even when they /know/ they're wrong. TT~TT

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

A bit thick headed? Oh, well, I am sorry to say I do not know how to help, then. :-( I do wish you luck, and hope someone else can.

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

Thanks, anyway. I do appreciate it! I'll think of something.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I am sure you will. :-)

If the worst happens and you can think of nothing, please do allow your friend to protect you. He seems very worried.
