069. For Your Life

[Well, it's been a month. Slightly over a month, actually, but Brock can't help that. He's not in charge of when the castle decides to wig out. If he were, it'd happen a whole lot less, rest assured.

So, he's dictating to the pages in his usual hyper-blasé tone.]


Alright, that was a load of fun.

Look -- for those of you who don't me, I'm Brock. I've been here an extra long time, and I've seen a lot of bull happen, and I'm getting kinda bored of just letting it happen, you know what I mean?

A real long time ago, we had this thing called 'Peace Patrol'... if any of you guys remember it, don't worry. It was dumb as all hell and I'm not real keen on repeating that embarrassing mistake. But I think it's about time we formed some kind of defense force, right? Peace Patrol was all about policing each other, which is dumb for a lot of reasons, but long story short -- we need to start protecting each other from the castle and all the crap it throws at us on a, like, monthly basis.

[There is a brief pause. That was a lot of words. In the silence, there's the clink of a metal lighter and then an audible exhale.]

So. I ain't offering to be, like, 'Supreme Commander' or anything stupid like that. If you got more military training than me, freakin' go for it. I am offering to teach you guys non-lethal takedown methods in case your best friend tries to eat your face or something. Self-defense, how to analyze a threat, how to barricade, how to throw a punch -- whatever you want.

I don't do guns. So you'll need to get somebody else for that.

I've had a couple students before, but I'm thinking large-scale, here. So if you know any kind of offensive or defensive skill, let me know and I'll see if I can hook you up with somebody.

[A pause.] Uh, I guess I should mention if you wanna learn stuff just to hurt people, I'll probably just kill you. So. There's that.

[And, for people who want to run into Brock in person, he's presently walking up and down the castle walls, checking out the changes in scenery. He might occasionally give the edge of the wall a little kick to see how sturdy it is. He's dressed in civilian clothes, a light denim jacket and jeans that are slightly too tight, but he's got a crossbow slung across his back all the same.]

[Ben is forever glad he didn't have his gun on him when he was sleepwalking. People would have ended up with bullets in their heads with his dreamed walkers.]

Ben. Ben Paul.

Exactly! They think it's so important to use things like swords and stuff, when it's so much easier to just drop a rock on people.

[But she's a million times tougher!]

Sounds like a castle full of mercenaries when you put it that way.

How long is an extra long time?

[Daaaamn, son.]

I'm quite new myself, and I'm interested in more information about what the castle can do.

I'm saying you'll tolerate it endlessly so it's not a problem to me if you think I'm a judgmental bitch. You'll whine about it, but you'll take it.

And guess what: judgment isn't a bad thing.

For breathing clean air, what else would I possibly need filters for? [ No, but you are. ]

If I tolerated every stupid opinion or attitude that I crossed paths with, I'd have no sense of judgement at all.

And what bridges have I even burned, here? I'm not the one who decided "hey, this person only stuck their neck out a bit instead of to the point of martyrdom, better write her off." Don't get pissed when I'm playing things on terms you set.
