*Continues until my hand physically recoils on impact, broken and bloodied*
I'm... a Cloud!

@Legend

*Stares at your hand*
That doesn't mean we can do everything. At least not with no preparation. If you need to stop, then we need to stop.

@Webmaster

No we. No.
*shakes my head and rubs the towel over my head and face*
Nope. Already in enough trouble.
