[QUOTE="Craig Fox, post: 7120973, member: 6882019"] The Two and 4T's travels brought them to a strange tavern with a cast of fascinating folks, and a soap that scored off the scale on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. "Well then, we have enough to eat from discarded trenchers." said 4T. "Shall we practice a bit, get up to blue belt?" "There's a problem." said The Two. "It says on page 135 of [I]Kung Fu For Mice[/I] that any belt above orange requires plying one's trade against real opponents." "Aren't we real opponents to each other?" "No. To get higher belts, we need to be fighting for our lives." 4T thought for a while. "We're not quite ready to take on orcs or troglodytes." she said "but we can take on rats in the tavern basement." "You're right." said The Two. "It'll be good exercise, and save our characters from having to do it. They can start out feeling like heroes, rather than members of the sanitation department. Let's go!" The two mice scampered down the stairs towards the basement. "Hey, Two." said 4T. "You've read more of the book than I have. If we do enough kung fu, will it clear up our color blindness?" "Hmm. Not sure. One passage I read could be really, really liberally interpreted that way, if you stretched it further than any rack victim." "Well, at least it's something." [/QUOTE]
