[Dick sounds pretty unruffled and maybe even flippant to the casual observer, but he's actually pretty creeped. No one enjoys catching a weird person staring at them out of the corner of their eye and then just not being there when you turn to look at them.]

So, I know "the Barge is taking a turn for the creepy" is old news at this point, but... is anyone else starting to feel like someone's following them around? I know it probably just sounds paranoid, but with everything else going on, it just seems... weird. Tim, if it's you, I said I was sorry I stole your sandwich, this is taking it a bit far.

Anyway. Is anyone up for sparring? CES, gym, somewhere else, where ever. [He's bored and feeling like he's getting out of practice.]

[Warden Filter]

Literally forever ago, there was some talking about giving some self defense lessons to wardens who felt like they needed some brushing up or an intro on how to protect themselves in the event of our next Barge wide crisis situation, which is probably happening next week or something if this creepy stuff keeps up, so I'll be in the gym this afternoon and will be happy to walk you through some basic stuff.

Or, if there's anyone who just wants to spar or something, I am definitely on board for that, too.

[Private to Jim]

What's the worst thing that could happen if I got hit with a phaser on a stun setting?

[Private to Arthur]

How are your ribs doing?

[Filtered to Snape, Lupin, and Sirius]

Since we seem to be getting some of the less morally upstanding people from your world, and because I'm generally curious, I was wondering about what exactly a non witch or wizard can do to protect themselves from spells from your world besides just running like hell.

[Private to Ariadne]

Have you been up to the CES yet?

I'm starting to feel like I'm being shadowed. The door thing happened once. So fast I wasn't sure it had. This thing, though, this is lingering. Swear I saw someone, more than once. Behind doors, in stairwells.

Sparring you say.

[batmanschmatman]

Did you get a decent look at them?

Sparring. I'm something of a martial arts enthusiast.

Private

[subtlescience]

I believe Mozenrath and Kay both have defenses which might be of some use to you. The former might prove reluctant to assist, however.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Why's that?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

...

I can spar.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Gym or the CES?

Private;

[buildindreemz]

I'm not sure if it's reassuring that the sense of being followed around is shared by others...

CES? I don't think so.

Learning some self-defense would be a good idea.

Private;

[batmanschmatman]

At least it means we're not crazy. Or about to suffer terrible revenge for absconding with a sandwich.

Closed Ecological System. It can create different natural environments, but nothing man made. I was going to head up there before the self defense review if you wanted to come with.

Not be a muggle, basically. Bellatrix will never tolerate anyone who isn't magical. Malfoy isn't any better. He isn't as crazy as she is. At least he wasn't. I'm out of time with these people. You'll probably get better information from Snape or Remus. Bellatrix is my cousin, and she's an absolute nutter. She'll kill you as soon as look at you.

There are protection spells and what not, but that won't help you. If you're quick, you may be able to dodge.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Sounds like I'd better brush up on my dodging.

Is a spell being cast approximately like firing a gun in terms of speed?

[peektuttut]

It's not me. [Not after the first day, anyway.]

[batmanschmatman]

Well, of course you'd say that. You're just mad you got caught.

Private

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You afraid Tim is going to shoot you over the sandwich now?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

No. It's been a really long time since I've had opportunity to dodge gunfire, and it's not really a skill I can afford to lose.

I know how insane that sounds, but I need a favor.

[private]

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm happy to learn whatever you want to teach--and my leg's doing a lot better, now, so I actually can now.

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

That's great! Did Martha take a look at it?

[yeerkwarveteran.livejournal.com]

...I haven't seen anything. [Pause]

...Although I've been hearing things.

[batmanschmatman]

What kind of things?

Private.

[justareverie.livejournal.com]

... you're not the only one, no.

If it weren't for the communicator, I'd think the impatience was grating my nerves a little too much.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Impatience usually make you hallucinate?

private

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

How do you feel about giving lessons to an inmate?

private

[batmanschmatman]

As long as they've got their warden's approval, I'm fine with it. I'm guessing you're talking about Wanda?

Private.

[toldastory]

With everything, I probably could use a going over of my self defense moves. That said, I'll probably have a body guard. [All the sighing.]

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

I'd be happy to help out anyway. Body guards can't be everywhere and everything.

... Also I may have had a quasi work related accident.

[seeyaduke.livejournal.com]

I'll spar. I'm quite fond of sparring.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, that makes two of us. Ana, right?

Warden Filter

[snownotstark.livejournal.com]

I have a query for you, regarding your lessons.
