[ Well, there's a video of an empty hotel room. A very nice hotel room, but it doesn't look like there's anyone in it. The lights are on, though? After about twenty seconds or so, a girl comes in from the hotel door wearing one of those really fancy white hotel robes you get from the spas. It doesn't take her more than a few steps into the hotel room to spot something on her laptop and she approaches it slowly, leaning in to investigate with a bemused smile gracing her lips. ]

What have we here?

If you only fight when it's necessary you're not really going to be prepared for when it really is.

[starblaze]

I know better than to let my guard down in this world.

[nudelikeme]

What's your style? Surely you do something other than shoot things.

[starblaze]

I also have a sword.

[nudelikeme]

Any particular style with it?

[starblaze]

Not... really? I just do whatever I can to attack or defend.

[nudelikeme]

Where'd you learn it from?

[starblaze]

I've always known how to fight. I guess it could be called an instinct.

[nudelikeme]

You could probably stand to get a bit of training from someone who's actually a master in their area.

[starblaze]

I've never really considered something like training.

[nudelikeme]

Maybe you ought to. Bet you'd win a bit more often.

[starblaze]

If I'd ever lost before, I'd be dead right now.

[nudelikeme]

Then it can't hurt to get insurance.

[starblaze]

There's no insurance here.

[nudelikeme]

Well you've got a whole interdimensional community don't you? Borrow some.

[starblaze]

What would I need money for if I'm dead or injured?

[nudelikeme]

Not that kind of insurance, sweetie.

[starblaze]

Then what?

[nudelikeme]

Insurance means something to ensure that you come out of the fight. You get professional training from someone who's good at it- not me- and you might get that much further ahead of everyone else in your world that you won't have to worry about coming out of the fight. Insurance. Make sense?

[starblaze]

Yeah.

I don't really worry much about being killed, though.

[nudelikeme]

What, are you like wrestlers?

[starblaze]

No. We have weapons. [SUDDENLY CANNON] See?

[nudelikeme]

[ What in the- Okay, staying calm. ]

Which leaves immortality if you don't have to worry about dying.

[starblaze]

Mmm- it really depends on the circumstances. I've survived being impaled by a drill several times my size, but others have gone down with single stabs.

[nudelikeme]

So you're sometimes immortal?
