OFFICIAL WARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT! Completely public.

[buywithme]

Comrades, If you should encounter a situation in which my inmate: "Barron Sharpe" is aggressively removing his gloves at you, I would like to officially authorize punching him as an acceptable preventative measure against his trying to hold your hand.

Under no circumstances should you allow him to hold your hand.

Nothing-- It wasn't anything bad, but there's a thing he can do, where if he touches your hand, he can change your memories, so if he tries to touch your hand, you should punch him.

Unless he has gloves on, if he has his gloves on he's probably just being friendly.

ohdear. O'brien's interested now.

When you say 'change your memories' - is this by some sort of magic, comrade?

:c

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's magic, you hold his hand, and he can put any memories he wants into your head.

well. what do you expect? XP

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Can he take them away, or just put them there?

Prefect just worked out why you were asking.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Comrade, do not ask him to alter your memories! Even if he could do what you wanted, he'd be far more likely to do something that was convenient to him, and just make you forget what you originally asked him for!

private - and o'brien curses!

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I never said I was going to, comrade.

and it's nothing I haven't done to myself, let's be real.

private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

You were thinking about it!

And don't anyway! You wouldn't have control over what he changed!

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

If I had a way around that, comrade, I still wouldn't tell you.

private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Well... I hope you never do.

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

You're going to deny me every way I can possibly deal with this, comrade, aren't you?

[he makes a 'psh' noise.] Some friend you are.

Re: private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

We have already established how I feel about you destroying your mind as a way to deal with your problems, Comrade. And I am still your friend.

[darknessb4me]

What.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

My inmate has the ability to alter people's memories.

Please only punch him if he actually tries to use them on you, not just on principal.

[darknessb4me]

How about if I ever see his face anywhere near me I get out a weapon?

Is he watching this? If you so much as look at me, you will get hurt.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

All right, Comrade. But don't use it on him unless he tries to touch you. Just... have faith in your scariness to deter him from trying anything.

[darknessb4me]

And wait until I forget why I wanted to hurt him and I end up being his fucking lapdog? I don't think so.

[we might be displacing some unresolved Frostmourne Problems here.]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Throwing in my vote with the Lich King here. Sorry, Prefect, I think the 'if his hands come anywhere near me I'm removing them' approach is totally justified in this case.

Private

[darknessb4me]

[Quiet, not offended but also very deadly serious.] I am not the Lich King.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[Not intimidated exactly but taking a healthy interest in continuing a civil relationship with Arthas.]

Understood.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Sister, where do you see me saying if his hands come near you you should obediently hold still and let him deface your memories?

If he starts to take his gloves off, then you have a reason to be concerned and you do whatever you think necessary to protect yourself. All I'm saying is don't attack him just for looking at you, or being near to you, just like people shouldn't attack you on the basis that you are technically capable of destroying buildings with your hands!

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Subtle difference, Comrade. People shouldn't attack me because I'm technically capable of destroying buildings with my hands.

But, yeah, I'm not crazy. I'm not going to bring the hurt just because he exists. Having said that, if I see him do more than even adjust his gloves, I'm breaking both his arms.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Comrade, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to protect yourself, but he was born with this ability! He can't help having it, and you can't kill him for that!

Think of it this way, Comrade. Where you're from, people carry swords, right? But unless someone actually goes to take his sword out of it's scabbard, you don't usually assume that he's planning on using it to stab you?

Well, Barron can't not have his hands, but as long as he's got his gloves on, there's no reason to think he's going to try and do anything to you. And-- Comrade, you're not going to become anyone's lapdog. No one's going to allow that to happen, here.

[darknessb4me]

I can point a weapon at him until he turns around and walks the fuck away.

People carry swords, but I know how to fight someone with a sword. There is no defense against this. No one can stop him from doing that.

I'm not afraid. This is not going to turn into one of those bitching matches. Yes or no: Does he use his ability ruthlessly and for his own gain or amusement?

[Private - Arthas]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

To be fair, I could be using those very powers ruthlessly for your own gain and amusement.

[Sales pitch, because the scary guy is scary.]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Then do that! I don't care if you want to make him stay away from you, I only care about... moderating the reasons why people may or may not attack him.

In order for his ability to work, he would need to make contact between his hands and your exposed flesh. If he ever tries to do this, then anything you do in self defense is fine with me. That's all.

Yes.
