Tell confessa-a-bear

[terribly2shy.livejournal.com]

Here's how we do it.

1. Make a post for each character confessing something. It could be ceiling-cat, inner angst, a secret love, or hey, maybe you just want to list all the things that the character feels are so pent up inside him just bursting to get out. Weight of the world on his shoulders?
2. People reply to those posts with reactions to the confessions. It can be "what were you smoking when you did that" or "uhwhat?" or even "nice job, buddy!"
3. Forced honesty, uh-yep.
4. Bonus! Make as many confessions as you'd like!
5. Profit!

I'm honestly considerin', and even leaning towards, joinin' in on the combat classes. And I already know I'm gonna fail.

If you go in with that attitude, you will.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but it's the truth. Ain't built for fightin', mind or body.

[governorkang]

If you give up, you're finished before you even started. You can do it, if you set your mind to it.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Ain't given up, just...'M no good at it. Can't hardly think about fightin' without wantin' to curl up behind some panels.

That's how I felt when my friends started training me. I was so clumsy that it was almost hopeless, and I'm sure you're more graceful than I was.

You'll catch on more quickly than I did, I'm sure of it. And you might even be great with the weapons!

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

...don't wanna be great with weapons.

[morphitudinous]

All right. I can certainly understand that.

Then we'll help you defend yourself. It definitely takes practice, and you fall down quite often, but when you get back up you've learned something.

I've had that drilled into my head repeatedly in my time here.

'M just gonna get in the way. Can't defend myself out of a hole.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

You won't.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

You can't know that.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Baby, I've seen your temper. You just need to apply it to that and you'll do fine.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Temper don't do much if I'm stuck freezin' up 'cause I don't know how to react to somethin'. Can't even dodge a fireball.

Anyone can learn to fight effectively if they want to. Failures in training don't matter. They happen so we can learn, and make sure they don't happen when it's the real deal.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

I freeze up. Tried before, couple times, and I just freeze up and can't do nothin' but hide.

[robots-omgh8u.livejournal.com]

Why?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Don't know. Yes I do. Just do. Got shot. Walked in mindin' my own and got shot.

[bonnypiperlad]

Why do ye want to join? I thought ye didn't like fighting.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

I don't, but I feel like I'm just holdin' everybody back every time somethin' scary comes up.

[bonnypiperlad]

But...[He doesn't like the idea of Kaylee being caught up in the fighting for a whole lot of reasons.]

Look, I'll make sure nothing hurts ye, Kaylee. Ye don't have to do this if ye don't want to.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ And this is a 'Duh, Jamie' look. ] Kinda useless if I can't even make my own way to what I need to be workin' on.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Why would you say that you're going to fail?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

'M not really one for fightin'. Tend to freeze up instead of react when it comes down to it...

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

What about defense?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Does duckin' behind the nearest wall count as defense?
