[GUESS WHO'S BEING AWKWARD OVER THE NETWORK AGAIN, DINGDING YOU ARE CORRECT. Johnny hates asking for help. Hates it. But he's at a loss here.]

So, uh. I need someone's help with somethin'. I don't expect anyone to volunteer for this. I mean, I sure as hell wouldn't but I dunno how else to do this shit. Maybe, like, I can get a volunteer and someone else can play ref...

Anyway. Um. So this place let me keep the power I used to have, except they made it suck less. Thing is, I still don't know how to use it too well, an' it ain't like a physical weapon I can just go and train with. Basically I... talk people into doin' stuff. All I gotta do is look at 'em and talk to 'em, and they'll pretty much do whatever I say. Least, that's how it used to go. I dunno how strong it is, what people will or won't do, things like that. And I kinda wanna know, in case I ever, ya know, need to use it against the "bad guys", I guess.

...

Now ya know why no one's gonna volunteer. But if anyone's got any suggestions, lemme know?

Hey, buddy, this is the power I got, an' I'm gonna damn well use it if I need it. I don't plan on just usin' it on everybody here for the hell of it!

[deadelfwalking]

Disgusting.

[charming_jerk]

I ain't doin' it to impress your ass! I wanna figure out how it works so it don't just start happening without me bein' able to control it, like it used to!

[deadelfwalking]

It is a dishonorable tactic in combat. You have no right to overtake someone else's will, for any reason.

[charming_jerk]

It don't even have to be in combat! Shit, if I'm fighin' a guy, I wanna fight a guy. But we go on missions 'n' shit here, and you're tellin' me that charmin' answers outta people or somethin' like that ain't useful?

[deadelfwalking]

[gOD THAT'S EVEN WORSE TO HIM.] I do not hold with such manipulations. Again, you have no right.

[charming_jerk]

Well this ain't about you! Geez man, this is what I got, an' I'm gonna use it. It ain't like it last forever or I'm askin' people to kill themselves or somethin'. I just wanna know how the fuck it works.

[deadelfwalking]

[GRRRR.] Have you found any willing victims yet, then?

[charming_jerk]

I haven't found any volunteers yet.

[deadelfwalking]

I will be there when you do.

[charming_jerk]

Fine by me. If I do somethin' shitty you can go ahead 'n' try to knock my head off or whatever.
