A Very Harry Situation 03
  • Threadmarks
    • You take a moment to breathe. Okay. Harry was probably right about you being smarter than you had been this morning- You've seen icons telling you about increases in your intelligence and wisdom, like, a load of times today- And they're still only just barely above where your other stats are, if you're remembering correctly.

    So there's probably some truth in what he's saying, and plus, you've decided to start working on being smarter deliberately so that you get smarter faster anyway. So you need to think this through logically.

    Harry is being a twerp. This is to be expected, because Harry, in addition to being a weirdo, is frequently very twerpy. You consider appropriate reactions to him being twerpy for a moment, before coming up with an appropriate rebuke.

    Setting your sandwiches and pop on a conveniently placed corner table, you turn around, rear back, and smash your forehead into Harry's face. He staggers backwards, letting go of your arm, and falls on his ass, as a pop-up shows up-

    [A skill has been created through a special action]

    [You have learned Headbutt LV1.00]
    [A skill for using your head in combat]

    You take a look at Harry for a moment, before shaking your head, picking up your snack once more, and heading back into your room.

    As you close the door, you think you hear Harry mutter something under his breath, but it's too quiet for you to make out the details.
    "Okay, that was absolutely Dudley. Ouch."
    Thinking about it, it's sort of odd that Harry would confront you directly. Usually, he only throws out infuriating one-liners in order to distract you before he runs away. Still, you muse as you start on your sandwich, it's more likely that he was telling the truth when he said it was because you were acting strangely than it was that he was acting like a twerp for no reason at all.

    That's not so much of a problem, though. You can just act normally, as always, and sooner or later he'll have to deal with you not being as stupid as before.

    ... Just to be safe, you plug in one of your new video games and turn the music up to loud to make sure that if Harry is listening (and possibly if he isn't), he can hear it.

    Now, um. What had you planned on doing next?

    [] Try to train one of your new skills
    -[] Can you train boxing against the air? You think you've seen people do that before...
    -[] Chemistry, chemistry... Would dropping a mento in one of your sodas work for that?
    -[] Engineer yourself a house of cards! Or a pyramid. Pyramids are probably more stable.
    [] You just got another skill. Try to make more?
    -[] Write in, what and how
    [] Just play video games for the rest of the evening. [advance to next day]
    [] Write in, something else?

    Calmly, and with our hands free. We just wanted to use our heads because that's what they say smart people are good at, and we're proving that we're smart!

    ... That should totally be in the update.

    Headbutt of Justice for Dudley, Headbutt of Hope for Harry.

    Am I getting this right? :)

    Edit: Imp'd by the author. :(

    Edit:

    [x] Engineer yourself a house of cards! Or a pyramid. Pyramids are probably more stable.
    -[x] Try building a few other things with cards, like a bridge. Maybe see if there's any other building materials around, if we want to improvise.

    [x]Leave some of those sandwiches in our inventory for a rainy day once we get our cooking skill from making them.

    OCC: I just want more WTF moments when Harry walks in on him and sees this. Plus, it's gotta raise his Dex if not his Wis/Int, right? Those sandwiches might help to break the ice, as well.

    because we still don't realy know how exactly how quests , levels and xp work
     
    Headbutt skill, eh? We'll have to try it out a few (dozen) times when appropriate.

    Let's be honest. We *did* just get some neat new video games, so let's try them out. We can play around with... whatever this stuff is... tomorrow.

    And stick a couple sandwiches in our inventory in case we get hungry later.

    Tyson who?

    SV and SB play smart magicians and engineers most of the time, lets spend some time trying to be a brawler.

    Let's leave the engineering for tomorrow, yes? It's already getting late, and this seems like it would be time consuming. Plus, I can't imagine it would be easy or even pleasant to attempt something so delicate with the volume turned up so much, and Dudley wouldn't have the dedication or desire to.

    Let's try tomorrow (maybe in the morning?) instead.

    Same for headbutts and boxing. It would be loud and inconvenient at this time, and we'd get better results from prior planning. (Like asking for help from our Dad, for example).

    Let's just enjoy our down-time and avoid making Harry any more suspicious for now. :)

    He just has to keep punching until the air stops being able to dodge.

    We need to train up Headbutt at some point. We also need confirmation on whether or not we gave Harry a new scar.
     
    [] Just play video games for the rest of the evening.
    -[] So, if this fighting game is to be believed, you need some kind of inner power to punch through walls, jump three times your height and be awesome in general. Can it be the 'MP'? If so, you won't stand the twerp having more than you. That must be addressed.

    Edit.

    --[X] If you're able to gain a few levels in Boxing before bed, maybe you'll try a fighting game out and see if there are any special moves you can try out.

    -[X] Your head feels a bit sore from headbutting Harry. Try to massage the pain away.
