CAPE QUEST: Hero in the Negative World

[X] Capitalize the opening -- try to incapacitate Dimes now.

Getting a mook's weapon is useless, because they will almost certainly be made of metal.

[X] Capitalize the opening -- try to incapacitate Dimes now.

Seeing your chance, you jump onto the table, and slide across into to fall off the other side ontop of Dimes -- using your power to complete the actions smoothly. Straddling dimes against the seat, you grab him by the throat, thumbs pressing windpipe and you throttle him one, twice, against the wooden seat-back.

You are forced to stop in order to move out of the way of something about to stab you in the back. You hear the thug shouting just before he crashes into you from behind, and giving you enough information to use Break Theorem to find his head and drive an elbow straight into it as he came down on you. Your counter-attack doesn't stop his momentum but you do here the knife drop to the floor; he crashes into you. In this position you can't do anything except weak elbow jabs and biting, you you use Break Theorem to disengage from the pile-up. The knife is next to you on the floor, and you sense the other thug approaching.

[] Throw the knife at a thug [which one?] [fatal or wounding?]
[] Pick up the knife -- Dimes looks like he'll dazed for the moment, and try to tackle the oncoming thug from your prone position.
[] Try to avoid the approaching thug and find a second to stand back up and look at your options.
[] Do something creative with the knife (remember, you will succeed at anything you try to do).
[] Write-in.

-[X] Throw the knife at Dimes (Fatal)

There's thugs in the way? Oh, that lifted elbow was just high enough to let the knife pass under it. Oh, and that other guy tripped over his own feet, allowing the knife to pass over his head. How odd.
Now that was surprising! You'd think Dimes would be alert enough to slow the knife down, at the very least. Nope, straight into his eye.

Um, please don't just bandwagon me. This will probably have rather severe consequences. I wouldn't vote for if I didn't think it could be a good option, but I don't really trust my judgement. Think about it before you vote, just to be sure. You'll probably come up with something I missed.

Sorry, I just don't trust my write-ins at all. It seems good to me, but it's my write-in, so I really don't trust my judgement on the matter.

-[x]Kick the knife as hard as you can, smacking the thug behind you with the handle. With sufficient velocity to knock him out, it'd also bounce... and, if you were lucky enough rebound off Dimes.
Meh. Dunno.
