Principles Challenge

Post by consequences »

You are under attack by an overwhelmingly superior force. You have no hope of escape. You have the choice of attempting to fight it with the aid of the individual you despise the most in all of fiction, or taking the alternate selection of:
1; A normal comic book.
2; An Avengers membership Card(not an actual membership, just the card.)
3; A single square of damp single-ply toilet paper.
If you choose one of the alternates, please indicate how you would use it to aid you in eliminating the threat to your person, the individual whose help you are foregoing, and why they piss you off. Extra bonus points to anyone who has a halfway valid plan for all three. The threat should be such that the presence of the character you have a visceral hatred for can signifigantly assist you. As a note, when originally presented with this situation, the character I detested the most at that instant was Akane Tendo from Ranma 1/2, the attacking threat was a berzerk charging Wolverine ten feet away out for my blood, and I came up with plans for all three innocuous objects that I would rather implement in real life than have that conceited, useless, obnoxious waste of oxygen be between me and the Adamantium claws.
P.S. I'm bored

Hmm....my trouble would be figuring what sort of terrible threat to face....
I already know the character that irritates me more than any other in fiction....Rand al'Thor from the Drone of Time...sorry Wheel of Time series of firelighters....um....I mean books....yeah, books....
I can think of ways to use each of those items in many ways.....just not sure what against...
You can gross out incoming attackers with damp piece of toilet paper.....
You could offer a choice of reading a robert jordan novel and killing you....or being friends and reading the comic book.......only the suicidal will pick the first....
And you could always bluff your way past folk with the membership card pretending to be something important....

As I mensioned in another board, the people I hate are Dr. Doom, Vegeta, and Ikari Gendo. All ofm them could be quite powerful in a fight (if Gendo gets to call in NERV)
I am capable of rearranging the fundamental building blocks of the universe in under six seconds. I shelve physics texts under "Fiction" in my personal library! I am grasping the reigns of the universe's carriage, and every morning get up and shout "Giddy up, boy!" You may never grasp the complexities of what I do, but at least have the courtesy to feign something other than slack-jawed oblivion in my presence. I, sir, am a wizard, and I break more natural laws before breakfast than of which you are even aware!

The damp piece of toilet paper has been made damp by tap water you sicko, and the attacker is not going to be grossed out if you shit yourself out of fear either.

Your insane. I admire that in a man.
In the case of the opponent gunning for me in my situation, it wouldn't have mattered; If Wolverine had enough mental capacity to notice the damp paper in his berserk state, then his senses would inform him it was just water, if he was to angry to care, he would heve ripped me apart regardless. However, I guess it would have to depend upon the individual out for your blood, and it would certainly be worth a try. Full points to Colton though, for coming up with almost-plausible strategies for all three items.
