Netbook; anonymous?

[Sort of. Min's taking advantage of ambidexterity because it's embarrassing to be bad at things. His handwriting is notably different from his usual and probably isn't immediately recognizable to anyone who isn't Ryan.]

What do people do if they can't protect themselves here? I don't want to be stuck inside all the time, but I don't want to have to rely on other people either.

Before anyone says it, I'm not looking to learn how to fight. With all the weirdness in this place there's got to be some other way.

Those are both dangerous weapons. I can't carry around something like that.

I mean, anything's a dangerous weapon if you're desperate.

[Do you really wanna have a semantic argument with Will again min? He doesn't play by logic]

[He's sure going to try.]

Yeah, but most of the time they aren't designed specifically to kill things.

THAT'S KINDA THE POINT OF A WEAPON, KID.

[The guy's anonymous, but Stan's going to assume he's one of the teens, probably. Or at least under 30.]

[He's right on one count at least?]

I'm not a kid. It's not my fault I apparently come from one of the only places where carrying lethal weapons isn't normal.

IF YOU'RE UNDER 30 YOU'RE A KID.

ALSO HOW DO YOU KNOW ANYWAY? MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE CARRYING AROUND LETHAL WEAPONS AREN'T EXACTLY ADVERTISING IT. MAYBE YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONE!

That's not true. Lots of people have kids of their own by then.

[If he wasn't defending his own maturity that thought would give him so much anxiety.]

I don't think I'm the weird one for not wanting to carry around something dangerous I don't even know how to use.

SURE IT IS! THAT'S JUST A KID WITH A KID. AND FIGHTING IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE DEFINITELY A KID.

[So thanks for confirming that!]

MAYBE NOT BUT YOU'RE GONNA BE THE DEAD ONE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A BAT IN HAND THE NEXT TIME THERE'S TROUBLE.

Whatever, man. I've been an adult for almost three years now. You can't change the definition just because you don't like it.

I'm working on finding something, okay? Maybe I won't have a bat, but I'm going to have something.

OH WOW THREE WHOLE YEARS THAT'S SO IMPRESSIVE!!! TRY AGAIN ONCE YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO BE EMBARRASSED THAT YOU'RE GETTING OLD. THAT'S ADULTHOOD!

YEAH, YEAH, JUST DON'T LEARN IT THE HARD WAY BY GETTING CAUGHT WITH NOTHING. THEN YOU'LL BE GOING "GOLLY GEE I WISH I'D LISTENED TO THAT STAN GUY AND ALL HIS YELLING ABOUT WEAPONS!"

YOU'RE SAYING GOLLY GEE BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHILD. YKNOW, IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR.
