Johnson decides to direct his codger-ness at Victor. He points a chubby finger at the lad, and blasts him with a cloud of rank breath.
"Ughh...the very sight of you pisses me off, you virgin weenie! Why don't you scurry back to your basement and log on to one of them MMOMORPGGs, or whatever they're called! Bet that's all you're good for, clicking your mouse and banging on your keyboard! If you tried to do 10 push-ups, you'd go into cardiac arrest!"
How will Victor defend himself?!

"Just like I thought! Ain't got no spine! You just float around like a damn jellyfish!"
Johnson won the contest, so Victor loses 1 dice. But Johnson also pumped, so he still lost 1 dice himself.

Johnson is clearly taken aback by his mirror, as he takes two big steps back, stops the finger-wagging, and spends a good 10 seconds rubbing his sweaty chin before responding.
"My wife (sweet Mary Ellen, she'd be rolling in her grave if she saw what I have to deal with now) ain't divorced me! She died of cancer! Multiple myeloma! So show some respect, you shape-shifting jackass! I bet you don't even have a real identity! You just choose what to become based on the mood of the moment! Like the virgin weenie here, you ain't got no substance!"

Ruling that Shapeshifting Virtuoso is appropriate. It's one of those Swiss Army Knife cliches that can be anything, really. Johnson is again using Angry Old Codger to defend himself, no pumps this time.Rolls

Small Fry was on the verge of making a similarly cruel assumption about the old man, but given what happened to his wife…
The Barbie-sized heroine-wannabe hovers to eye level with Mr. Johnson. "Okay, first of all, you keep calling Victor a virgin like it’s a bad thing. Have you considered the possibility that us girls feel safe around Victor because he doesn’t see us as potential additions to his Body Count?
"Second, I’m sorry about your wife. Jimmy Z lost his parents to cancer, and… I’m not trying to excuse his noisy habits. But I am saying both of you have suffered losses and your anger is understandable. But maybe having Misty defecate on his property isn’t the answer."
Small Fry offers one. "How about you help us help you? All you gotta do is tell us you’ll clean up after your dog, and while you’re at it, you tell us one thing we can ask if Jimmy Z."

Again, Mr. Johnson takes a long pause before answering. It seems Small Fry's empathy has melted at least a portion of his cold heart.
But only a portion. Johnson can't let go of his anger; rather than using his football glory days to throw you all off-balance, he decides to stick with scorn and finger-pointing, even though he's worn down.
"Listen, midget: Jimmy doesn't give a hoot about his parents' deaths! He was just happy to inherit their property and money! My loss is real! His is just a...a celebration!"
"Why don't you try usin' that sunny disposition of yours on that punk rock degenerate?! I don't need to be fixed! He does!"

Victor sighs with relief when Mr. Johnson backs down. His little dog continues to yap. Hilde narrows her eyes as she walks up to the dog and sizes Misty up. Then, she reaches out with a paw and gives the pup a smack on the nose!

Mr. Johnson sputters as he sees his doggy get (in his opinion) sucker-pawed, but he can't do anything to defend Misty, as he's already been whupped during this argument.
Misty's yaps stop for a brief moment...then resume with even more gusto! She's not going to let some arrogant cat get the best of her! And with unparalleled nobility, Misty refuses to physically retaliate...since this was, after all, an argument, not a brawl. Yaps only!
Having claimed the moral high ground, will Misty prevail?

She will not. Hilde's "spirit guide aura" is too much for the normal doggy to handle. Misty quickly scurries behind Johnson, still yapping, but definitely beaten.
Victory is yours! Per the rules, you now get to decide what happens to your foes. Within reason, since this was just an argument. If there's no consensus, I'll put up a poll.
Victor, it'll take about 1 hour for you to heal your missing dice. Positive self-talk, cuddles with Hilde, comfort food...whatever you think is appropriate to reduce the sting of Johnson's insults.

What Small Fry wants is a peaceful resolution, so she (quietly) suggests to her teammates, "Okay, if we’re gonna be superheroes, saving elderly curmudgeons is part of the job, and I honestly don’t want to be associated with Jimmy Z’s assholery. I just want my quarter of his $750 reward and to earn it by really solving the problem.
"So how about we just politely ask the man to please clean after his dog, and my offer still stands: if he asks something of Jimmy Z, I’ll happily pass on his request." Thibking on that a bit, she adds, "if it’s reasonable. And after we get paid. I’m nice, not stupid."

>>> Having shifted back to Darshelle's form, Doppelganger listened to Small Fry's plea for a no-hostility resolution. "The guy is lonely and afraid...and angry. He's lashing out because he wasn't taught how to deal with his feelin's." she said almost sadly. "That's why he folded when he got a good look at himself when I turned his words and face back on him. I don't think he recognizes who he's become... Not that he was probably much of a charmer when he was younger, either." Doppelganger felt like the man could be rehabilitated with a stronger community connection but that was something to work in later. In the meanwhile, there was another concern that needed to be addressed. "Did you notice that he said his wife died of cancer? Jimmy's parents also died of cancer, right? I wonder if there's a link?"

Hilde self-righteously returns to Victor's side, purring and rubbing against his leg. Victor is still a bit shaken by the tongue-lashing Mr. Johnson gave him, but he nods to the others. "It's worth looking into, D," he says to Doppelganger. "I agree with Small Fry. So long as he agrees to leave us and Jimmy alone."
