That right there? I totally read that in cold, "i'm faking emotion to sound human" serial killer voice. The kind of voice that from the right person in the right situation turns -anyone- into a small child. Mare is a frail-looking red head woman being confronted by the big, manly general. She is precisely the perfect person. The 'bomb' (starting to think she's bluffing) is the exact perfect situation. And that line right there? "If it can't be fixed, I remove it." Downright sexy. I think if I knew her I might have a bit of a crush on her. |

Have you ever... Ever felt like this? How strange things happen, are you going Round the Twist Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? (Note: I have no involvement with the series, I just think it looks awesome) | |

See, it made stuff click for me. I was reading Issues the other day, and there was a bit where Rachel was thinking how scary Mare could be. And I'm reading it thinking "Really? Mare? Is she definitely on about the same character I am?" But now... Now, I get it ![]() edit: Also, he's kept hold of the bag. Surely any sane person would have dropped it and ran?

catnipsandwich: Any sane person would realise dropping the bomb might set it off by accident :P |

As a military man myself I can tell you what we're trained to do when we suddenly find ourselves to be in possession of an explosive device... Known quantity (grenades, sealed explosive compound, active ordnance and munitions) - Is it yours? Use it. Did you find it? Don't Unknown quantity (A "bomb" in a paper bag) - Don't. @EDIT - Explosives Ordnance Disposal, for those not in the know. Edited by Taolan, Sep 29 2012, 11:13 AM.

Always wondered why when challenging someone to a duel you don't just use a cestus or chain mail glove... Instant victory. |

I suspect that was a rhetorical question. But throwing down the gage is a *symbolic* action. For the actual fight you have to use more conventional weaponry. |

I understand the purpose of the gage and the rules of dueling. Varying by culture but the standard I know of is challenger issues terms of time and weapon, while the challenge-ee decides upon the location, sometimes offering an alternative weapon. I was just trying to be silly. |
