 *says nothing, just remains in his stance*  I mean the physics behind it.  ... Maybe my MoDEoN post isn't as finished as I thought. XD Now the question is whether to remove the meet-up, or to insert a note of Harpuia and the two girls rushing past the elevator. Opinion?  *punches* The physics are very simple. Nail gun vs. wood is the basic concept. Does this curiosity stem from them being aliens? You fight some pretty weird Mavericks and have never questioned them before. I mean, really, why does punching the ground three times make it rain fire what-nots?Well, them rushing into and down the elevator is a requirement, the people I was saying should at least reach the elevator would be Lumine, Omen, and Co. Also, why is Lumine out to stop Glyph? ((And here I was thinking she was standing a few more feet away.))  *moves his arm to push hers to the side and redirect her punch* *tries to sneak in a punch of his own at the same time, towards her abdominal-type area*  "For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction." A piece of wood is soft with a lot of small holes in it, a nail is strong and solid with a tip helping the energy go the right way, and they're both braced against something a lot bigger and heavier than they are so they stay in the right place. If they weren't sitting on something else, one or the other would move back without there being much penetration - if any - when they hit each-other. Also, use a nail-gun on an I-beam and you get a bent and/or blunt nail, and maybe a tiny dent in an I-beam.
I guess if she's got sharp fingers she might be able to punch through stuff like flesh if it's up against something, but against another Robot around her size and both standing up? I think she'd have about as much luck as I would. Maybe scratch the paint or something. That's why we rarely use anything solid for weapons.
 ... I haven't questioned the Mavericks because I didn't care before, and even now I haven't really learned what's going on with their attacks, but I still know there are energies helping with things. She made it sound like it was all physical. I don't get it. ... Things have been different since we got back. *depressed siiigh* Forgot that they weren't on the same floor. XD Short version: Glyph's clearly not working with them anymore. |

If she wanted to punch hard enough to punch through us, she'd have to punch hard enough to push herself back, that or the other Robot. If she's heavier, she'd push the other Robot back. If she's lighter, she pushes herself back. If they're about the same, they push about equally... Even if their feet were hooked to the ground they'd bend backwards... Even if she's made of a different metal it's the same basic thing... She could be made of dark matter or something. I have no idea how that stuff works. Maybe I could drop an anvil on her and see what hap- NO! Bad brain! Maybe if she punched down... But it sounded like she was talking about regular punches...) ((Is she talking about that one ninja-punch I heard of where it might be possible to hurt someone's inner organs while leaving the skin and such untouched?)) I'm pretty sure I've made that same name-switch before.  But yeah, Swash, not Glyph. |

Okay, I'm having a hard time picturing what she's trying to do. Going with the energy of the 'block' would mean jumping over to the side opposite of his punching arm anyway. That's less of a spin and more of a... jump. It seems like spinning would bring her somewhere other than the side because of the side basically because of body size... Or do you mean less 'move in the direction of' and more 'let it push her on a sort of pivot'? If so, he didn't push her hand anywhere near that hard, and I'm having a hard time picturing a sort of stance that would allow her to both solidly punch and nimbly spin around if her punch doesn't work. So unless that punch was just a sort of trap to begin with... Yeah, I think I'm going to need more detail.
Also, when she says 'punch through,' is she talking about that one ninja-punch I heard of where it might be possible to hurt someone's inner organs while leaving the skin and such untouched?

(And do you think we should bring OOC questions/explanations like this to PM?)It is called a block. That is the name of the move. It redirects the energy because energy has to go somewhere. She did not jump, she turned, exactly as I said. It is not a difficult move. It does not matter how hard Zero blocked her, the energy/momentum she is redirecting is her own. No. Rockwell is a tank, not a ninja. Although I do know about that punch. (I don't want to deal with this period and would rather drop the rp all together then get into a fight over every single move.) I'm going to try PMing you an explanation of punching through. Thank you <3 |

Well, the teacher for classes before church was late today, so I got one of my friends to re-enact this scene with me so I could do a little sketch for you. I'm in the family room with littlest sis because she doesn't want to be left alone, so I'm away from my scanner. Pardon the poor drawing skills and computer camera quality.  My friend at church of course wanted an explanation and we talked for a bit and they brought up something I hadn't thought of before. Omni, what's your favorite book series? Or do you have a bunch you really like? Could you list a few? |

The drawing doesn't help either, since I can't tell which stick figure is which or anything. Did she... spin in place or something?  It also looks (from what I can tell) like you put the redirect and the punch into separate stages, when they were meant to be pretty much simultaneous. If she's not a ninja, then why is her armor so dark?  Just to be ominous so maybe some foes will be scared? (Yeah, it's already one thing when it's for a more-serious fight that ties with a story somehow. It's another when it's for a casual spar out in the open.) Omni, what's your favorite book series? Or do you have a bunch you really like? Could you list a few?  It's actually been awhile since I've read a series or anything. I enjoyed Harry Potter so far as I read it (I still haven't finished the last one - maybe I should pick it up again sometime). I enjoyed the Baby Sitters Club series when I was younger, but it kind of drew on after awhile. *looks around* Ooh! Chronicles of Narnia.  That's a good one. I'm having trouble thinking of much else where I went through a series (or even more than one book in one), though. So unless you want to count things like compilations of comic strips and the like, it's mostly been single books that aren't too related to each-other. So unless you'd like me to list single books, or maybe older Neopian Times series and such, that's about it. |

(Yeah, it's already one thing when it's for a more-serious fight that ties with a story somehow. It's another when it's for a casual spar out in the open.) Omni, you can't block and punch at the same time (at least not like that). One arm would get in the way of the other. You can do it so fast that it can almost look like it's at the same time, but in reality it's not. The figures are labeled. P1 is Person 1 and P2 is Person 2. She did not rotate in place. That wouldn't do any good and I'm not sure how you're not managing to picture this. I guess my next drawing will take a cue from dance move directions. Hey Scrac, you wear a lot of black, are you a ninja? Scrac: HELL NO. Are you ominous? Scrac: Maybe. (No, Omni, you're not getting it. I am sick of this. I have always hated it and I want it to stop. I agreed to continue rping with you because you said something might change. Nothing has.) Omni, what's your favorite book series? Or do you have a bunch you really like? Could you list a few?

So unless you'd like me to list single books, or maybe older Neopian Times series and such, that's about it. Okay, that leaves me unsure. "We have trouble understanding each other because we have different backgrounds" is not the cause of our fighting, because I've rp'd with people who's backgrounds is even more different then yours and mine. Friend at church suggested you might be a TV/comic/manga/movie junkie who rarely picks up a book and therefore needs imagery to picture anything. AKA never developed an imagination. |
