INSULT FIGHT

You’re probably familiar with the concept of body language and verbal expression.

For TNI’s heroes, body language is often associated with the handling of weapons, or the art of dodging or jumping, while verbal language is used to...well...

Actually, verbal expression is also used as a weapon.

Since the dawn of time, having some skill with words has ever been an asset, and getting involved in verbal sparring could prove fatal. At least for your self-esteem.

The art of repartee is a talent that Bonnie, Cécile and Gundelf seem to master. In the words of the author of The Three Musketeers, ": Yes, I insulted him. But I wanted to fight him, and when one wants to fight with someone, one has to insult them”.

But careful, not any sort of insult. The barb must be strong but hidden, and the creativity and guile must show through the syntax.

This is why each confrontation is interspersed with formal and refined exchanges between the heroes and their opponents.

By the way, did you catch all the references hidden in there?

Why Shakespeare?

Kevin, Derp and Zordock: with such names, needless to say, you get categorized.

Of course, this is useful when you like bloody fightings, and when swaggering around is part of your daily pride. But imagine for a moment that you want to make a career change. Who would hire Derp to be a magistrate or even Zordock a social mediator?

And yet... The big muscles can sometimes hide big hearts.

Let me take you back in time, to a warm summer’s day. While holding the skull of his freshly slaughtered enemy, Kevin realized that he did not know whether to be or not to be so evil. He postulated this question aloud to his cohorts.

Zordock, bad-tempered and impulsive, replied that it was much ado about nothing...

But Derp came to calm the situation by reminding them that the important thing is to believe in yourself, because it is what is in our hearts that must lead our actions: besides, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

A scholar, dying not far from there, let out a groan upon hearing these familiar maxims, but all he managed to whisper before breathing his last breath, was "please shake that spear..." The three monsters understood none of these final words. All they detained was a strange name, Shakespeare; and in the course of their research, they found themselves passionately loving the author, whose moral opened unexpected possibilities.

Thus was born the love of three bloodthirsty monsters to the illustrious English scholar, and how their repulsive shell cracked open to reveal an ounce of sensitiveness.
