I'd be surprised if it wasn't, actually. 'S not like everyone can get stuff like that from vats of chemicals.

(@Ches) Ah... W-what's, um, Bartitsu like?

(@Kitt) I see... M-maybe I c-can teach you a few of my t-techniques (changes back to normal form)

"It was all over the news, actually. Like, who does that? Paranoid people say that normal humans should find a way to get powers because 'what if superhumans try to take over? We don't have a means defense.' Like, guys, you do. They're called 'guns.'"

Depending on the power, maybe not. I bet there's some people that're just way too strong for that.

It's hard to describe.

I suppose it's refined, and much more focused around the street brawl. At least, that's how I was taught.

Cane fencing is a large aspect of it- but boxing, savate and jiu jitsu are the other core disciplines.

I went beyond the traditional aspects, and incorporated some other moves I picked up along the way.

Well- I don't know about me needing new techniques- most of mine are pretty simple and effective...

So he might not've been able to hurt you more than anybody else, but you just couldn't get rid of him?

(@Ches) (astonished with Ches's explanation) Wow... T-that sounds p-pretty interesting. No matter w-what your opponent does, you'd easily come up with a counter f-for each of their moves.

(@Kitt) I see... W-what are these techniques?

We got here first-?

-nods to Marcia-

Most things I have a counter for.

Except powers a lot of the time.

-looks back to Marcia- I can condense air and use it as a projectile with telekinesis.

(@Kitt) Neat. That s-sounds a lot like ki blasts.

"Get jobs. Like, a dude with laser eyes? Demolition? Super speed? Deliveries. Electrokinesis? Electrician. Flynn says part of my job is helping people with powers get jobs that can use them. Sort of a superhero/corporate liaison kinda thing...it's weird."

-shrugs to Marcia-

-to Marcia- Maybe later.

-to the man-

You're not going to get anywhere if you're just going to flip off everyone you come across.

Manners go a long way, sometimes.

-Ches seems to have his cane with him, but it's just down by his side-

Yeah- I don't really appreciate your attitude here.
