All right, I'm going to need help on this one, because I can't visualize how he's going to change from a crosslegged sitting position to a standing position while keeping his hands on the cards in front of him. (And this is not for lack of trying: I just spent the last five minutes of my lunch on the floor trying to duplicate it with my phone subbing in for the cards, and the only way I could get up was slow, uncomfortable, and did not involve pulling my feet under me.) If anyone has any ideas how this is happening, please let me know.

He's probably just floating off the ground enough to get his legs beneath him. Don't forget that we're talking about a place where everyone can fly.

Well, I'm still not sure what is to be done here, but...eh, might as well try this.

> Keep tickling his nose and closest ear as long as they are in range, but keep an eye on his lower body.
> When Rinnosuke has propelled himself upward (in the act of standing up) sufficiently that his forelegs are straight enough to not still be directly in front of his shins, hook toe bottom of his closer shin (basically where the shin starts turning into the ankle) with one of our feet and yank his lower leg backward away from him. This should be a pull rather than a kick.

>You tickle Rinnosuke for a moment, which he squints and scrunches his face against. Then you pull his foot out from under him and he falls to the floor on his backside, instinctively throwing out his hands to catch himself and keep from falling back further while making an inarticulate noise of irritation.

Okay, neat, we got a couple of cards back and he's almost assuredly lost his concentration now. If anyone has any further ideas (OTHER THAN KNEEING HIM IN THE TESTICLES OR SHOOTING HIM WHERE HE STANDS) as to how we can get those other cards back, I'm open to them

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #653 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:28:07 AM »

I thik the direct approach (using force) is the way to go here. Let's just hit him and take the cards.
