So do the others keep him in line? Somebody's gotta put a leash on those troublemakers.

[Or troublemaker in this case.]

[paladinlost]

That would be Rosie's duty. Or rather, her frying pan's. Effective against both mischievous ghosts and overly-amorous Dittos.

[Sheila would be proud.]

[islandshore]

...She uses a frying pan?

[Pffft. He starts to laugh. That's priceless.]

[paladinlost]

Don't laugh. I know a queen who, when her kingdom was attacked, used one to achieve the highest kill count on either side. In any other world, Rosie would have broken both of their skulls long ago.

[The fact that they probably don't have skulls in the first place doesn't matter.]

[islandshore]

So if they're that picky about weapons here, why don't they ban blunt objects while they're at it? Head trauma's still a pretty big threat.

[Now he almost wants to try it. Just imagine: A Charizard swoops down, hits you with a pan.]

[paladinlost]

Quite possibly because to ban blunt weapons, they'd have to ban everything. I know for a fact that it is possible to kill humanoid monsters with a bottle of cologne; that opens all sorts of possibilities.

[Ahhh, those war memories.]

[islandshore]

...

[Hold on. He needs a second to soak this in.]

You've killed monsters with cologne.

[But how?]

[paladinlost]

I have not; the matching dress did not fit me, thank goodness. But I've seen it with my own eyes, and it was both horrifying and fascinating at once.

[He sounds almost pained as he says it.]

[islandshore]

Wonder what'd happen if you used it on a Pokémon...

[Cecil, what have you done? He is almost tempted to experiment the next time Quake misbehaves.]

[paladinlost]

Don't. The shame and horror would surely kill them, or at least breaks their spirit to the point that they'd never be able to battle again.

[...Actually, that could be what felled those Mannikins in the first place...]

[islandshore]

You do realize that makes me want to try it even more, right? Maybe I'll go buy some extra strength cologne for the occasion.

[This can only end in disaster, but at this point, he doesn't care.]

[paladinlost]

...You might want to favor a particularly heavy bottle over one with a strong scent, for additional power. Blunt trauma is a most effective weapon.

[Oh dear, this sounds like a disaster in the making. Perhaps he shouldn't mention that the matching shield was some sort of card.]

[islandshore]

Come to think of it, I could just as easily grab some pepper spray to throw them off guard and then bash their skulls.

[Okay, so his phrasing migt've been a bit violent, but Cecil's right! Blunt trauma is effective. It's been his go-to tactic for months.]

[paladinlost]

That'd not leave your target with the same sort of shame, but pure efficiency should be valued over that in the first place.

[Even if none of their current available option are quite efficient enough for his tastes.]
