Question

[Edgedancer he/him]

Does my last post need to be edited?

Nah, we´ll just say that it happen at the same time as PP´s last action and you get an exsplosive pebble to the face or at the very least in close proximity of you.

 

Lightwards might be dead... again.

 

1000 replies, yeah.

I shall post a reaction soon.

How many of those posts were shipping, I wonder?

If you mean in Oregon I´m kinda setting the scene there right now, so wait a moment, please.

Hmm... I was kind of hoping Lightwards' first in-game death would take place in a much more important fight, perhaps against someone more important than an NPC Epic. But I suppose no great heist comes without a sacrifice.   

 

I don't suppose you guys would let me kill Quickslide when he comes over to the gift shop? Or just break a few bones, at least?

If he's dying, can Funtimes break out a kazoo and play "Taps"?

Or "Welcome to the Black Parade," at the very least?

An ER ward would be more useful, but your idea sounds more like Doctor Funtimes.

 

Should we work together and come up with some vague idea of museum layout? Things could get confusing if everybody just rewrites the museum topography with every post. 

 

I'm thinking of a short hall connected to the front door. After passing the admittance desk, you come into the first chamber that we've seen so far, with a scarce handful of exhibits consisting largely of a (formerly) stuffed elephant, pterodactyl and pliosaur skeletons suspended from the ceiling, and a few fossil knick-knacks in display cases. From this chamber there are hallways leading into other areas of the museum, including a collection of old Native American artifacts, a mounted zoological collection, and a series of exhibits featuring fossils from various points in the Earth's history.

How deep into the museum is the gift shop?

[Kobold King he/him]

How deep into the museum is the gift shop?

 

I was thinking very close to the main entrance, which is also the primary exit. Like maybe the standard museum path is a loop through the whole complex, and the gift shop is nestled snugly between the entrance and the exit.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

All right, so it seems that Nathan and Funtimes are probably across from the gift shop, separated by the entryway?

That's the conclusion I'd come to. So if Funtimes whipped them up some ice skates, they could skate across the frictionless floor past the elephant and could concievably come between Quickside and Lightwards.

 

Or transform Headshot's bullets into Skittles. Not like I'm hinting or anything.

Why don't we have both?

[Kobold King he/him]

Why don't we have both?

 

That could be cool--it's ultimately your decision though.

 

As for Lightwards' potential death, I'll take whatever comes. I just want to remind everyone that casually killing off Lightwards every few pages is not going to do his psychological health any favors.

Soon he will realize that this...

 

 

….goes with just about everything. 

 

But that's totally not anyone's plan. No siree. 

 

So are we going to wait on the others, should I edit my last post to include the Skittles, or what?

I see someone's been peeking at "What Happened in Oregon", page 27.

 

And that sounds good. I think we need to gather Lightwards, the Ludicous Duo, and Purple Phoenix as quickly as possible if we are to avoid being massacred by our ridiculously overpowered "minor" Epics.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

One edit coming up. 

 

I'll just hang onto this until Lightwards is ready for it.

 

[Kobold King he/him]

The Snow Queen from Newcago, eh?

 

 

(alternate line: Icy what you did there.)

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.

I should file an official report to the Court about this.

So, as the possibility of Lightwards being around Epic corpses has increased lately, shall we perhaps discuss whether or not Lightwards will be allowed to create Epic Warriors of Light? I do not believe we've established a consensus on whether the process would work or not.

 

My brother--whom I've been keeping up to date on the game's events--put forward the hypothesis that Lightwards' primary power is self-resurrection, and his necromancy is actually a form of gifting. It's an interesting way of looking at it, albeit a way of looking at it I'd never considered. If this explanation is an accurate way of explaining it, then it would most likely not work on other Epics.

 

Thoughts?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

I had actually assumed something similar. See, if he raised more traditional zombies (bloody, rotting, shambling corpses) I would think he would be able to create Epic zombies. But the way he does it is more like actually raising the dead, although they come back wrong, which is more like gifting than actually making a zombie. So I would say that either raising an Epic wouldn't work at all, or that they would be more like a traditional zombie. 

[Mailliw73 he/him]

That's an interesting way to think about it, which I hadn't. I like Twi's suggestion.

So the Armory raid and the Thoughttown plots can move forward now.

For Commander's powers, can we say that he has 1. Super strength and 2. Invulnerability? I'm trying to figure out how to kill this man now. Maybe a fireball, electric cutter, and death gaze together can kill him?

I think that seems reasonable, unless there's a way to activate his weakness (either babies or murderous prom dates).

And now, to unleash the shipping madness brought upon us by a brand-new character….

 

Entrapment, a Phoenixhound story: 

 

"Don't pretend I haven't seen it." Nighthound had slicked his hair back, donned a fresh button-down shirt, and seemed to be wearing some sort of scent, as though it were a special occasion. "I've seen you talking to yourself." 

It was a special occasion Phoenix would have rather missed. He leaned back, but Nighthound only leaned closer. "I—I don't talk to myself." 

Nighthound laughed. "Of course you do, and I know why. You, my friend, are as crazy as they come." 

"Uh…." 

"It's nothing to be ashamed of," he continued. "I talk to myself all the time. And he talks back." 

He had to distract Nighthound while he thought of a way out. "And what does he say?" 

Nighthound smiled. "He says I should take you out for dinner." 

"I want a lawyer," Phoenix squeaked.

 

Bring Me to Life, a Phoenixwards story: 

 

"No!" The word, like Lightwards' retaliation shot, was a second too late. Purple Phoenix fell to the rain-slicked street, his beard trailing behind like the wings of a mighty bird. His murderer fell to the ground, but Lightwards didn't care. It was only the Phoenix he cared about. Only the Phoenix mattered. 

He rushed forward and gathered the Phoenix into his arms. Tears fell freely onto his pale face. "No…no, I'm sorry….I'm so sorry…." 

"Raise me," Phoenix croaked. 

The command was like a kick in the teeth. "What—no, I can't. I—I can, but it won't be the same." He tenderly tucked a strand of hair behind Phoenix's ear. "You wouldn't be yourself." 

"Raise me." Those were his last words before he went still, before his mighty heart ceased to beat. 

It was his last request, but Lightwards couldn't obey it. To bring him back as a shadow of his former self—it would be a mockery of their love! 

But he had to. 

Cursing himself, cursing Calamity, Lightwards raised him. Phoenix's eyes opened, and he smiled. 

He smiled. He shouldn't have smiled. 

"You—you're okay." 

"'Course I am," Phoenix said. "The voice in my head said I'm crazy, so your freaky brain magic wouldn't work on me."

Lightwards ignored the insult. His Phoenix, his beautiful Phoenix, had risen from the ashes.

 

 

Double Fun, a Phoenix-times story: 

 

"I know you do it." 

"Do what? I don't know what you're talking about." 

She giggled. Her face was so close he could feel her short hair brush against his cheek. "You talk to yourself." 

"So what if I do?" 

"So…." Funtimes poked his forehead, giggling again. "There's another one of you. In there." 

What do I do? He asked Protector. 

Hear her out, was the reply. 

"Uh….maybe there is?" 

"There is, there is." She leaned closer, whispering in his ear: "I like them both."

 

Anyone want to see him with Corpsemaker or Altermind?
