[open video, 4/20 squeaky voice] | Skill Sharing!
[ The screen blips on to Hunk, reclined across a couch. Balmogra the moogle's pom-pom occasionally drifts into the top of the frame, and Hunk's eyes keep glancing towards it. As he starts talking, he's entirely oblivious to the fact that his voice is high-pitched and squeaky. ]
Hey, so with other people asking about things like our stories, our worlds, and our jobs, I realized that we don't actually know a lot about what we can all do! Like... I learned that some people have never been grocery shopping before! Or some can't cook! Or some people don't know how technology here works. Since we're all stuck here, we might as well try to help each other out, right? So what are some things you know or want to know?
Me, I know about cooking and engineering and mechanics. But I don't know anything about magic. Or how to defend yourself from a monster that's up close and trying to eat you. Or how to use a giant fork in a fight? Or why they use forks here to begin with.
[ He pauses for a moment, looking almost uncomfortable, and then- ]
And if you're embarrassed to say something you can't do, you can always send it to me and I'll mention it for you!
( This is super open and threadjacking is possible and totally okay! )

Do you have any POINTers for fighting with a knife? (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Some of that how-to knowledge has to be beginner-level, right?
no subject
Stick a POINTy end in the enemy?
[...]
Aim for the critical spots that don't require a lot of force to get to
no subject
What if I don't have a sharp eye for weak spots?
What if they start carving me up before I can even get a hit in?
[ But he also knows he's probably slower on his feet than his friends. ]
no subject
That's why you aim at the neck
cut the windpipe and fill beast's mouth with blood to prevent it from snapping at you
you can handle blood, correct?
[Slow or no, everyone can aim at the neck, right?]
no subject
I can handle blood when I'm cooking, yeah.
But just gushing from something?
I'm used to fighting robots, who don't bleed.
Or my enemies blow up, so there's nothing left.
It's hard to see bits of people when there's charred spaceship everywhere.
[ And then Hunk realizes what he's saying. It's not as bad as "make them flood their mouth with blood" but... ]
Sorry about that. （・□・；）
no subject
You could run from the beast
but I don't think it is wise to turn your back to it, leaving yourself open for an attack
If you don't feel well with this type of fighting, maybe you should switch to the long-range attacks instead of close combat.
It is alright. I fought a lot of things- from beasts to robots.
no subject
With a lot more armor. (｡・ˇдˇ・｡)
Like, I've smashed robots with a shield.
An apron just doesn't seem like it'll protect me from anything.
You fight with a lot of armor, right?
no subject
We have armor, just not in the regular sense of it
It is not made of metal
Our Crownsguard uniform is sewn from the sturdy, yet comfortable material, in such way
to protect our vital organs but keep our movements enhanced
However, any such properties have disappeared once we arrived here
no subject
Maybe an industrial strength pot lid.
If they have forks, then that can't be a joke, right?
What was your uniform made out of that made it able to stand up to MONSTERS?
And to make it better than ACTUAL ARMOR?
That's cool! o(ﾟ〜ﾟo)
no subject
But I believe it has some magic properties woven into it
Of course, that means nothing here
All the powers from our world had disappeared into the thin air.
no subject
So you're gonna have to learn how to use armor now.
Unless you're doing classes that don't use armor.
What ARE you packin'?
no subject
[He has to stay silent as a ninja. Also... 'packin'? Uhh...]
Currently I am trying to get back into shape I was before arriving here
no subject
Are we Gourmand buddies? (ゝω･)
What kinda shape are you trying to be?
Triangle? I'm a rectangle, personally.
no subject
I am needed more for the front lines.
My job is Ninja.
no subject
I'm too big and slow to be a good Ninja.
If you're used to knife fights and monsters, how are you out of shape?
Was it a long vacation?（￣ー￣?）
no subject
So I am forced to start from the beginning.
no subject
Eye beams?
Magic?
Giant robots?
"Back home" is such a grab bag, here. (；￣ー￣)
