You teleport 10 feet to your left right now. What happens?

Post by Graham Kennedy »

I'd fall 12+ feet onto a hard concrete surface and likely be seriously injured or die.

How about you?

I would move from my office chair, the another office chair infront of an identical work station...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'd teleport half above and half "into" my neighbours driveway. Talk about a telefrag!

I'd fall one story, and land in the bins / trash.

I pick myself up off the floor and walk back to my computer.

I'd teleport on top of a woman who is rather pretty. Then I get my ass handed to me by her rather large husband.

I'd end up on the back patio, on an Amish-made glider chair, watching the crazy-ass squirrels chase each other round and round.

Now if I teleported to the RIGHT 10 feet: I'd still be in my office, bah humbug!

If there was teleportation, I'd go to a snow-capped peak somewhere, as I am done with summer!

I would be sitting/standing in rocky dirt in my backyard, between the wall of my house and a wooden fence. Actually, I would be closer to the wall. If it was 9 feet, I would be partly IN the wall.

I teleport in my bed... I just bought new sheets and new pillows. So this isn't a problem for me, though a tad early for me to go to bed

I enjoy my post work naps. It's like a brain reset.

I believe that's a fairly-accurate way to describe them.
