Question

[Kobold King he/him]

Funtimes is neither. She's just enchanted by a stranger with a shiny arm.  

 

Am I next or is Kobold? He has Lightwards' response, and if he wanted to have Sam or Revolution pipe up that they just came from there, that'd be fine. If not, I could have Funtimes and Nathan take over that part of the conversation.

I won't be able to post for a little while, so I'd say you should go next. Sam and Revolution would rather let Funtimes take the lead when talking to a new Epic; Sam can start the relentless Lucentia-mocking later.

I also have only a vague idea of what sort of errands Lightwards will be running today, so I'll need to come up with some modicum of a plan before I post his reactions.

[Edgedancer he/him]

No, no, that scene was brilliant. I especially liked the song she chose, although I thought conscripting Sam and Remington into a chorus line was a bit over the top.

 

 

 

Confession: Remington wasn't supposed to be a viewpoint character until I shipped him with Alice, and Kobold's comments helped his character to grow from there. It's the input from everyone that helps characters grow, I think. 

 

Please let that be foreshadowing. Please let that be foreshadowing. Please let that be foreshadowing.

 

 

 

Agreed. It takes a lot of skill to create a world that's a hundred times bigger than the story it was made to tell, and everyone has done a marvelous job of fleshing out one corner of it. 

Now I feel the need to write that scene, maybe later.

 

My original plans for Voidgaze changed quite a bit after she actually came into play, making her more... chearful and of course the interactions with Big Al.

 

*whistles*

 

Yes all those shipping and ponyfications made this so much more awesome, weirdly enough, this wasn´t sarcasam.

 

Funtimes is neither. She's just enchanted by a stranger with a shiny arm.

To be fair, she is very fast to jump on anything she could dislike.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Cool. I'll get started, then. 

 

I get the feeling Team Funacid won't be any more popular with Lucentia than they are with Lightwards. 

[Edgedancer he/him]

I get the feeling Team Funacid won't be any more popular with Lucentia than they are with Lightwards. 

The difference being that Lucentia doesn´t yet have a proper reason to play nice with them.

[Edgedancer he/him]

 

If anything, this woman was like snow: beautiful, but with a silent and deadly chill.

Do you really want to set up this ship?

 

Now I also wonder if I should let Kobold go first.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

What, Traveler/Lucentia? I actually wasn't trying to set up a ship, but if you insist…..

 

….

 

Actually, Lucentia is a bit too close to Nighthound for this ship to be anything less than creepy. Travelhound is one of the few ships I avoid, and there are many good reasons for that.

 

Same here. 

 

EDIT: Also, RE Lightwards' errands for the day—didn't Joe mention bringing Sightline with Voidgaze up to the Museum of Natural Awesomeness?

I didn´t insist, it was a warning.

 

"You messing with my sister? You´re a brave corpse, did anyone ever tell you?"

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Yeah…..

 

With shipping, I go many places no shipper has gone before, but Traveler/Lucentia and Traveler/Nighthound are two places I have sworn never to visit. 

[Edgedancer he/him]

Stay away from the deep little shiper or you´ll tempt me to create the most disturbing ship of all.

 

Given what Kobold said before I´m going to go ahead and write something.

More disturbing than Nighthound and Lightwards sharing an eye-gougingly terrifying kiss in a primordial forest? 

 

 

 

I shall flee to the safe harbor of Traveltimes, Algaze, and Ray-cyclist.

Yes your mind is safer there.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Yes, I'll talk to Altermind about getting Voidgaze up to the Museum.

 

Twi, has Sightline gotten any Ships yet?

[Edgedancer he/him]

Yes, I'll talk to Altermind about getting Voidgaze up to the Museum.

All my character will end up in the same place. I have to make something grand.

 

I don´t think so, how about Kathy?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Twi, has Sightline gotten any Ships yet?

 

No. No, he hasn't. 

 

How did I miss this? 

 

Give me a moment. I must correct this egregious mistake! 

[Edgedancer he/him]

No. No, he hasn't. 

 

How did I miss this?

My expactations are high.

 

This is the moment where I feel the need to remember everyone that Nighthound does in fact look younger than his sister.

[Kobold King he/him]

Am I up next then? I'll try to write something up. There's not much for Sam or Revolution to do but sit, stare and smile though. 

 

I know there's already one of these, but firstly I can't find it at the moment and secondly I like making them regardless.

 

CorpseMaker pony:

 

 

I generally like making High Epics alicorns, but in this case the wings kept drawing attention from the cutie mark, which is frankly the best part of the pony.

Go right ahead.

 

It´s a nice pony. Personally I reserve such details like horns and wings to Epics where they fit thematically but I can see the power argument.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

What is the Cutiemark on Him?

 

Also, has anyone noticed that Edgedancer has the worst Couple, Nighthound and Ray, and the Cutest Couple, Rita and Big Al?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Here's a few to start off. I'll probably add more as I think of them. 

 

Love the CorpseMaker pony, by the way.

 

No Peeking, a Funline story: 

 

Sightline watched through the blindfold as his date brought a picnic basket from a pile of scrap wood, a blanket from a dead log, and two champagne glasses from a wastebasket. 

For the first time he could remember, he wished the blindfold worked. 

Doctor Funtimes giggled and removed the blindfold. "Ta-daa!" 

Sightline did his best to smile at the feast. "This looks great, Doctor." 

She giggled again. He couldn't stop thinking about that wastebasket.

 

A Pacifist's War, a Sight Revolution story: 

 

"They took your country. Conscripted you into servitude. Why don't you fight back?" 

Revolution gave him a smooth smile. "I have other ways of fighting than with my fists." 

Sightline leaned against the wall, folding his arms. "Like?" 

The hippie held up what looked like a snakeskin jacket, or had been at one point. The sleeves were covered in lace, heart-shaped holes were cut in the back, and buttons shaped like Tweety Bird's face were sewn on down the front. 

Sightline just stared. "Is that….?" 

Revolution's smile became a grin. "Lightwards had it made for protection, but I doubt he'll wear it now."

 

There is No Title Manly Enough for This Story, a Sightfield story: 

 

"So whaddya think, Sighty?" Sightline didn't have to look to know the hunter sported an enormous grin. "This enough guns for ya?" 

It was more guns than Sightline had seen in one place. Machine guns, submachine guns, long slender rifles, guns so big they needed gravitonics just to stay upright, palm-size derringers. It was the collection of a man who knew guns and loved them, a man who sought them out and kept them safe. "Tell me you use them for what I think you do." 

Remington just grinned and loaded a shell into his 30-06. "Ready to hunt some tyrants?"

"I could kiss you right now." 

He laughed. "Go right ahead." 

Sightline did.

I did.

 

While we are at it I pretty much have one of the nastiest Epics, Nighthound, and the nicest Epic, Voidgaze.

I just need something to balance out Nighthound.

Perfect. Just perfect. And the jacket trick from A Pacifist's War might become canon if I can manage it.

A glaring skull. If it's hard to make out, I can try to find a new one. Or just give him a mark-obscuring cape.

 

Edgedancer wins all manner of prizes and dubious honors.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Once Malliw is on, I can take Rita to Lightwards.

 

I like calling Voidgaze Rita because it reminds me of Flushed away.

Sorry. 

 

That is the saddest kitty I've ever seen! What will make that kitty happy, because I cannot abide such a sad kitty-cat in my presence.

[Kobold King he/him]

Sorry.

'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?"
