TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 'Tis all right. As a deleted scene, here's what I had written: Sam paused with her cinnamon roll halfway to her mouth as a woman with a hand of diamond gracefully strode into the room. She was clearly an Epic, but one of the most majestic Epics she had ever seen. Her bearing was regal, her expression that of a woman confident in her control of the situation. She wasn't a heavy-breathing stalker type like Nighthound; she wasn't a stuffy and over pompous slontze like Lightwards. Sam decided she could milk quite a lot of sarcasm out of her, assuming that the diamond queen wasn't capable of killing Funtimes. Beside her, Revolution looked briefly troubled before leaning back in her seat, putting on the chilly smile she'd worn when she'd first encountered the Empire Epics. Sam folded her arms over her chest and watched the queen pull up a chair for herself. “My name would be Lucentia," the graceful Epic said coldly. "Now would you be so kindly to tell me if you recently happened to travel through Portland.” Their hosts talked to Lucentia for a moment, Traveler seeming rational while Funtimes seemed entirely preoccupied with the queen's diamond arm. "Terribly sorry about the chaos, Lucentia. I'm sure you know how difficult training new servants can be, when they don't want to be trained. We actually just left our allies in Portland yesterday," said Traveler. "We could introduce you, if you like." Lucentia didn't answer immediately, instead surveying the table with a cold stare. Her eyes settled on Revolution for a moment, whose smile briefly wilted. Revolution never broke eye contact with the woman, however. “No, I don´t particularly know that problem, if you have a whole city full of servants to choose from, getting rid of the unpleasant ones makes it easier for the rest to behave," Lucentia said finally, drawing her eyes away from Revolution. Sam, deciding to ignore the common sense her mother would insist upon, stuck her tongue out at Lucentia. Lucentia continued as if she either had not noticed Sam or didn't care. “Do those allies include a jerk named Nighthound?" Surprisingly, it was Revolution who replied, fixing Lucentia with an icy smile of her own. "Nighthound? Oh, yes. He's been treating us all to his special brand of violence, psychosis, and misogyny since we met him." A look in Revolution's eyes indicated she'd made some sort of connection, but Sam couldn't tell what it might be. Since Revolution had essentially summarized Nighthound already, she settled for reaching across the table and grabbing a bread roll from under Lucentia's nose. "That about sums him up. Why do you ask? He your boyfriend or something?" Argh. Trying to think of a way to work it in with what I wrote, because that is awesome. Although it could fit, somehow….I think…..
Edgedancer he/him Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 That moment when someone ninja's the Oregon post you're still writing, and then you can't even upvote them because of the quota. I'll be posting in a minute once I've edited what I have so far. That cat says everything. Doctor "I´ll bomb the members of my alliance for someone I just meet" Funtimes, is in top form I see. (Those ruinous chaotic neutral PC´s ) Once Malliw is on, I can take Rita to Lightwards. I like calling Voidgaze Rita because it reminds me of Flushed away. Voidgaze bringing her name up less and less (assuming that she´ll continue to use her powers) is already starting to creep in. I can only have nightmares... 2

All in its due time. I just read the deleted scene, that would have been highly entertaining, even if in another way than you assume. Edited September 1, 2014 by Edgedancer 2
Kobold King he/him Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Argh. Trying to think of a way to work it in with what I wrote, because that is awesome. Although it could fit, somehow….I think….. I just finished Lightwards' segment--should I leave the Sam POV as is, or shall I edit it? Without the dialogue though it's rather pointless.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 Leave the dialogue. We can work it out so everyone is sort of talking over each other—which is something Team Funacid would do anyway. 1

The "belonging" Lightwards sent Aldo to pick up isn't a McGuffin or anything. It's nature will become clear in the next Aldo post, assuming nobody figures it out before then. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Another guess: The object Lightwards sent Aldo to retrieve has something to do with Kobold's so-called "Project Amber," which I surmised has something to do with his "Let's Kill CorpseMaker" moment. Pictured: Kobold, announcing his assassination plans last night. Edited September 1, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 3

Pictured: Kobold, announcing Project Amber last night. To be honest, Project Amber isn't entirely formulated just yet. There are a few items I'll be going after, assuming Funtimes is unwilling to supply them. There's a sub-project that's part of Amber called "September Fireworks" that will require some specialized equipment. I'll lay out what I have of the plan when Lightwards meets with Altermind. In the meantime, sorry to say that Aldo's current mission has nothing to do with Project Amber. Also, I want to upvote that for the River Song analogy so badly. 1

In the meantime, sorry to say that Aldo's current mission has nothing to do with Project Amber. So much for that guess. Is it something to do with lingering animosity toward Funtimes? Or Nighthound? The apology note Lightwards promised to forge? Also, I want to upvote that for the River Song analogy so badly. Sorry.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Mrs. Voidus, Which Team are you going to Join? 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 Mrs. Voidus, Which Team are you going to Join? I can see Saccharine fitting in pretty well with the Wacko Brigade. And I'm not just saying that because the twisted part of me wants to see her antics and Funtimes' craziness finally give Lightwards an aneurism. That would be an undignified and not-at-all hilarious in-game death. 2

That would be an undignified and not-at-all hilarious in-game death. I agree Saccharine would fit in well with the Wackos. And I guess we'll just have to keep her away from Lightwards, or else keep the latter on stress medication. 2

And I guess we'll just have to keep her away from Lightwards, or else keep the latter on stress medication. Hmmm. There goes another guess. Funtimes will be poofing up so many meds for that guy, the name "Doctor" might actually fit. Except she has no medical license and you probably shouldn't accept anything but over-the-counter meds from her. And if she's giggling when she hands you a bottle, to the toilet it must go. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 I like to think there's a very simple reason why Funtimes is called "Doctor." That picture made me laugh harder than you'd expect. I don't know which part is funnier—the Scotch tape holding her stool in place, what appears to be a dismantled gramophone on the console, or Nathan's face as he takes it all in, presumably regretting ever asking her to go back to three Tuesdays ago so he could pay his phone bill on time.

I'm not responsible for the background--I saw that the pony comic creator had a TARDIS background though, so I just had to put Funtimes in it at least once.

"Tuesday, three centuries ago. You didn't say which Tuesday, so I just picked any old one and here we are!" "I said three Tuesdays ago, Doctor." "…." "I just wanted to pay my phone bill on time so my roommate wouldn't be stuck with the late fees." "That's boring! This is better! Say hello to….Tuesday!" "I hate my life." 1

I can't tell you how much I want a Doctor Who series starring Funtimes now. Imagine--instead of flying through the time vortex or among giant clock components, Funtimes' TARDIS whooshes through clouds of glitter and cotton candy. She doesn't really stop the Daleks so much as she turns all their technology into sugar while calling them meanie trash-bin faces. 1
