Should you fight these trolls?
Copied from Mar (@activatingaggro) and Mirk (@mirkstrolls)!
Imnots || Who wins: Imnots Either you have a death wish, or you weren’t even aware that you were walking into a trap and there was a fight to be had. If it’s the latter, you’re probably already done for; you just haven’t been finished off yet. You’ve probably got just enough time to text your SO before she kills you, if the head trauma will still let you type. Sorry, bud, them’s the breaks. If it’s the former, you’re in for a long and brutal fight that you’re probably still going to lose. On the bright side, Imnots is too practical about finishing off an enemy to make your death suck any more than it has to, even though she’s pissed about the effort of giving you a beatdown and the fact that it wrecked her hair-do.
Your secret weapon and single hope: be in public, surrounded by strangers. If you can humiliate Imnots into paralysis, you can make a break for it. Or employ a strategic cliff. Odds are still 50/50 in these cases.
Taalik || Who wins: Science, either legit or black market By caste and gender, she’s top tier of the landdwellers. Also, her needles are scary! And she has no compunctions taking you apart piece by piece– literally– and maybe even putting you back together after. It really depends how many medical experiments you want to “volunteer” yourself for, because Taalik doesn’t believe in wasting a warm body. The good news is, she usually can’t be bothered to really fight people who aren’t worth her attention; the most you’ll get is a backhand unless you get up and try to keep fighting. Don’t fight Taalik. Catfish her on an ashrom date, then steal her medical parasites and sell them on the black market while she’s out being stood up.
Pyrois || Who wins: Nobody Why tho. Why. He’s 6 sweeps old and already has drug and alcohol problems. He can front like nobody’s business, and if you freak him out he’ll psionically shoot something at you from a distance, but aim is not his strong suit and he has nothing to back up his attitude. If you punch him, it’s pretty much over. Chances are that he’s going to fall over his own feet before you lay a finger on him, though. If you do hurt Pyrois, all you’re going to do is make him brush off his injuries, badmouth himself as a wimp, and try to desperately be friends with you because he’s terrified to be on your bad side. Do you really want that? Do you?
Caduse || Who wins: You For the love of god, fight Caduse. Don’t even try to pick a fight, just punch her in the face. She keeps her strifekind under the register but hasn’t really used it in sweeps; she’s an easy target. I mean, she’s a nice enough person if she has no reason to be mean. But she also has no morals and she’s been accessory to so many crimes that she can’t even count. You’re practically dispensing justice. After you punch her, though, you have to get the hell out of town and never come back, or Caduse will sic her angry purpleblood matesprit on you. Hope she didn’t get your face on the security camera.
