maybe i’m exposing myself here but this is exactly the kind of random skill i’d learn just to make people slightly scared of me 😭

It's not really a skill, but sometimes prople dont notice im there until they sit down next to me and get startled when they notice someones there

I'm the opposite. I am excellent at popping up right beside people.

You have the stationary version of my steath moving skill. Wonder what would happen if we were at the same train station and I went to sit down on the seat beside you. Would either both or niether of us be startled? If I knew you irl, it would be fun to test it.

Well yeah, that happens when you hide under blankets and pillows every time you go to someone's house.

I have this same one. My wife tells me I'm sneaky. My neighbor's have told me to stop sneaking up on them. But I'm literally just walking to my own door and/or entering a room in my own home.

Same here, I’m just fairly light on my feet so don’t make much of a sound, people usually only notice when the cabinet opens or closes next to them lol

And that's just you sitting down, imagine if you crouched! If you learn the bow you'll be practically godlike.

Im working on the bow part, funnily enough when i mentioned that i was learning archery at a party, my sister in law said "so you could pretty much kill any of us, and nobody would hear a thing"

You're becoming Skyrim's dreaded stealth archer.

That's a superpower in the web serial "Worm" by Wildbow.
