Hey, you know what I love? Being droned for a week and a half for absolutely no friggin' reason. No. That's just great.

Anyway, I'm bored, so lets play a game. Got a riddle for you. Well, I guess it's more like a logic puzzle then a riddle, but they're close enough to be the same thing. Whatever. So here it is:

Three duelists are standing off against one another. Technically, everything about each duelist seems similar: each has a gun and is the same distance apart from the others. Despite this, each duelist has a different possibility of hitting his opponents. Duelist A has a 90% chance of firing and hitting either oppoennt. Duelist B, however, only has a 60% chance of firing and hitting an opponent.

You are Duelist C. You have a 30% chance of firing and hitting either opponent. You can't run; running will have both of them automatically draw their guns on you. So you have to stay and do something. So, the question is who do you fire at in order to survive?

I'm not saying I go out and get into them, I'm saying they're still fun to watch.

"I don't think so. It's kind of outdated and stupid."

You're stupid!

Oh, good one jerkwad! That was hysterical. I don't watch cartoons.

[And he just says that with pride like you WOULD NOT believe.]

"That was kinda uncalled for.

Why not? They're fun."

[[Guess who still does/did?]]

They're kids stuff. I don't need to waste my time with that junk. I got bigger stuff to work on.

Robotics mostly.

[Is what a guy is teaching him. And he can do some of it. But like fuck he can actually do much entirely by himself yet.]

Four hundred.

[Well, that's how long he's lived dicking around time-space. In all other regards? He's just a borderline sociopathic twelve year old prodigy.]

"Why wouldn't I?

Yeah, it's weird. Like super weird.

But I got bit by a vampire, met real Pokemon, talked with a prince from a long time ago, made friends with a psychic kid and got told about all these different worlds.

I'm in a town that loops back on itself like a Pacman game and things fix themselves.

Also, you're kind of cranky so you could be really old."

Because I usually have to jump through hoops to get people to realize that.

...Yeah. I guess this town isn't exactly the best place for cynicism. I guess you kinda gotta-

I'm not cranky!

And well... you're not helping your case any. Trying taking a breath."

"They don't have that saying in your world?

Take a deep breath, relax, and calm.

Zen or something like that."

"Oh, okay. So yeah, if you feel yourself getting angry just take a deep breath and see how you feel after.

Wait, take a deep breath and then let it out."
