Series XV - Video, locked from Captain Hammer, Dr. Horrible and Penny

Nngh, all right. I hate to ask this, and I'm positive I'm going to regret this for the rest of my unnatural existence.

Would somebody be willing to...

[He pauses, bites a fist, and tries again.]

I think I need an instructor in...self-defense.

Don't misunderstand me! I have actually taken quite a few lessons in the art of, erm. Whatever it

I can show you a couple quick things. Nothing too fancy, but enough to get you by depending on what kind of thing you're looking for.

[ajrimmer_ssc]

I wish to avoid getting punched in the face again. It really isn't my cup of tea.

[sunfire_ii]

Yeah, I can get that. Not many people are into that kind of thing and the ones that are are pretty much the type you want to avoid to begin with.

Shouldn't be too hard. A couple of dodging and weight-shifting moves should do you. What kind of power do you have, by the way?

I'm supposedly invulnerable, meaning that I don't break any bones or bleed out all over...but still feel pain. Which is smegging useless on the face of it. I mean, really. What good is being invulnerable if it still hurts?

[Private, encrypted]

[sunfire_ii]

I guess the good would be the not dying part? I mean, pain you can put up with at least. Death's a little harder to heal over.

Have you fought hand-to-hand before?

[He just chuckles ironically.]

Yes, I certainly would hate to be dead.

And...no, not really. I'm more of a...commander than a foot soldier.

[Private, encrypted]

[sunfire_ii]

It's a whole new world of pain, trust me.

Gotcha. Well, I've got a class to teach today, but if you've got some time later on I've got no problem showing you some of the basic stuff.

[Private, encrypted]

[ajrimmer_ssc]

Oh, I'm well aware. I wonder if we should do a poll and see how many people used to be dead before getting yanked here?

In any event, I'll take you up on that. I'll be honest, I was worried for a moment that I'd get some 900 pound bruiser with the superpower of kicking people's heads off.

I'm Rimmer, by the way.

I dunno, but I wonder if that doesn't technically make us zombies. We wouldn't need Halloween costumes at least.

Haha, well don't underestimate me because I'm smaller than what you were expecting. Size and build don't matter too much when it comes to this kind of thing, though-- it's more about using some idiot's weight against them.

Mariko. Nice to meet you.

[Private, encrypted]

[ajrimmer_ssc]

Enchanté, Mariko.

Where do you have your classes, and where should I meet you? Sooner started, sooner mended, as they say.

[Private, encrypted]

[sunfire_ii]

I teach at the X-Men Mansion. You can meet me up here if you like; I know of a place where we can knock things around without causing much damage.

[Private, encrypted]

[ajrimmer_ssc]

X-Men? Wait, do you know Warren Worthington?

[Private, encrypted]

[sunfire_ii]

Of course! Why do you ask?

[Private, encrypted]

[ajrimmer_ssc]

Ah. Well. Erm. That's...rather a long story.

Is he going to be around, do you think?

[Private, encrypted]

[sunfire_ii]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you two aren't friends.

[Private, encrypted]

[ajrimmer_ssc]

We're not enemies either, though. Like I said, it's a long story.

Could you do me the eensiest little favor and just...let him know I'm going to be around? And tell him why? Just so there are no misunderstandings.
