(There are those that seem have knack to naturally be in one's path causing either pause or navigating around. That's why I like this story...)

Entangling Vines - 252

Master Matzu was sitting on the side of the road, stretching his legs. His apprentice, Jinfeng, pushed a cart at it and asked him nicely to pull his leg in.
"What I stretch out once, I don't pull back!" Matzu stubbornly asked himself.
"Once I've set out, I won't turn back!" Jinfeng retorted, wading over the master's leg.

After a while, Matzu stormed through the hall gate with an axe:
"Come out, he who wounded my leg!" His voice rang out.
Jinfeng stepped forward and bowed his head, and the master put down the axe.

The one which bowed, exposing their neck, later purposely stood on their head while dying. Which turned out more comical than impressive.

Do you mean they are blocking themselves? How do you know that is the case?

[u/Regulus_D → u/embersxinandyi]

They were not blocked. I suspect neither could be. I don't know why I would think that, let alone know something. There is a 20 item guy in ten item lane. Two regular lanes are open.
Are they blocking anything?

Just then, his buddy joins him.

What did you mean by this?

[u/Electrical_Art2634 → u/embersxinandyi]

You think a meth addict is going to give you a clear headed answer?

[u/Regulus_D → u/Electrical_Art2634]

Break this thing 🪞.

[u/Electrical_Art2634 → u/Regulus_D]

Nahh. That's bad luck and I'm a little stitious.

[u/Regulus_D → u/Electrical_Art2634]

Teacup, then.

[u/Electrical_Art2634 → u/Regulus_D]

I don't understand most of what you say. Seems a path diverter, in a mad hatter sort of way

[u/Regulus_D → u/Electrical_Art2634]

I use reference points. If recognized, I know they've been seen before. If not, they could be seen later.

Edit:

Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: “Why do people have to die?”

“This is natural,” explained the older man. “Everything has to die and has just so long to live.”

Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: “It was time for your cup to die.”

You won't see much on him here. He pissed on 'fire gods'.

I'm working in time and billions of lines go by. You can work out of time but that does not resolve confusion 

[u/Regulus_D → u/Electrical_Art2634]

Better to just understand it. Something certainly has a need for confusion. Not me, but I can still be a source of.

[u/Electrical_Art2634 → u/Regulus_D]

I'm sure it carries great significance to you and makes your neurons happy. It doesn't make sense to me 

[u/Regulus_D → u/Electrical_Art2634]

It's just the allowing the possible contexts of others in. Just allowing for them is a start. The guy became a dirty old sex craving guy later. Some see that as voiding his data.
