Humblebragging intensifies

[momentaryspring]

[ Imagine a dramatic sigh right here. ]

It's finally happened. I've become TOO STRONG.

For all those of you that I might have beaten into a blubbering pulp before, I apologize. It was my every intention to give you a second chance at redeeming yourself for your prior SHAMEFUL SHOWING. But I can no longer do this in good conscience.

I'd just end up wiping the floor with you too hard.

[That's right Ryoga. Be proud of you who you are, even in the face of angry government robots]

Shit, I bet! That's like...superhero strength!

[Noah always had a chip on his shoulder, but Noah can also respect real strength. He moves to get up, jumping to his feet with the skill of an acrobat]

Sorry mate. When I saw your post, I thought you were just talking shit. Didn't know that you... how did this happen?

[momentaryspring]

It's certainly true that there's a lot of shit talked on Retrospec.

[ And for some reason, no one believed him about anything, not even that possible Yeti sighting. POSSIBLE COOL SUPERHERO CODENAME: CASSANDRA. Wait that was for girls ]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I've been working to improve on my technique all my life, but it's just been within the last few days that this has happened.

[What about...CASSANDBRO.]

Huh. Weird. Maybe you got bit by something and didn't notice.

So how strong are you now? That was just a flick!

[momentaryspring]

[ PERFECT. ]

I considered ways to test it out, but I'm not sure how to do so in the city limits. I'm sure there'd be a big hubbub if I broke something big.

[ Thinking... thinking... ]

Do you know if there's a junkyard around here?

[redarm]

Yeah good point.

[Damn...laws, getting in the way of your superhero montage]

I dunno. But there should be with a city this size, right?

[momentaryspring]

[ Now where was he going to beat up his evil twin ]

Yes. And surely no one will notice an extra car that was going to be smashed anyway!

[ What a brilliant plan clearly nothing would go wrong here ]

[redarm]

Yeah! Great idea!

[Noah sees no problem in this plan. No way it could possibly go wrong or that there's anything wrong with breaking into a junkyard to smash stuff. ]

[momentaryspring]

Then it's settled. But it'll have to be at night, I think....

Say, would you like to come along? Since I wouldn't have thought of the idea without your suggestion.

[ There was certainly no way this was going to result in a literal dumpster fire. ]

[redarm]

Really?

[he shrugs, even given what looks like a small smirk.]

Sure! Not every day you see shit outta a fucking comic book.

Oh, I'm Noah.
