TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Nighthound's one of those characters who needs the most horrifying, karmic death we can pull out of our sleeves. Personally, I'd love to see either Ray or Voidgaze giving the killing stroke, but that's just my opinion. I suppose it is me. I'll get right on it right after these messages. Why don't we have both? OH! OH! We could have Timeport bounce him around through time so each person he's hurt/angered has a chance to kill him!

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Is that how he works? Worst case scenario we call Möbius back in. I don't know, but if not, we need to invent an Epic who can do that.
Edgedancer he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I don't know, but if not, we need to invent an Epic who can do that. How about Ringo Roadagain and his Stand Mandom. His arc is called The True Man´s World. Edited September 22, 2014 by Edgedancer 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 How about Ringo Roadagain and his Stand Mandom. His arc is called The True Man´s World. Six seconds is all we need.
Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I don't know, but if not, we need to invent an Epic who can do that. Voidus has an Epic called Repairman who can save the molecular signature of an object, and can eat the same sandwich multiple times with it. Can we get him to "save" Nighthound's molecules so we can kill him over and over again? 2

Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Can we do the same thing to Quota? I hope so. Hmm. Remember this guy? Intervention: Can cause people to become drunk. I seriously want to see this guy as an Epic super-assassin who's left a trail of high profile corpses behind him across the Fractured States. Nobody knows his power, and nobody can prepare for him. He walks into a base and simulates intoxicant effects in all of its guards, easily overcoming the drugged personnel and eliminating his target. 3

But the most important question here is: Has he met Chicago Joe?
Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I like it. But the most important question here is: Has he met Chicago Joe? Chicago Joe would leave Lightwards' side in a heartbeat if he heard about him, so in defense of my own interests, I'm going to say "no." 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 If there'd ever been a sliver of humanity inside of him, he'd long since bound it hand and foot before torturing it to death in a torchlit basement. I didn't know Backtrack had met Nighthound already. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I didn't know Backtrack had met Nighthound already. Yes, I'm particularly proud of that description. Finding new and creative ways to express my loathing for his character is always fun. 2

Quick Nathan response, or wait for Joe and Edge? Edited September 22, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 2

Quick Nathan response, or wait for Joe and Edge? Nighthound is so unlovable, dogs steadfastly refused to lick him even when Funtimes covered him in gravy. Dinosaurs voluntarily drive themselves to re-extinction just to get away from Nighthound. People from the Dark Alley have to flatten the hairs on the backs of their necks following any Nighthound speech. Assuming no one calls them over, I think Nathan, Sam, and Revolution are distant enough from the other characters to have an independent turn order of their own.

Nighthound doesn't hear Calamity in his head because not even Calamity wants to talk to him. He met Fortuity once, and Fortuity said "Dude, tone it down a little. You're creeping me out." When he dies, there will be an epilogue stating how he was so foul, even the maggots refused to eat his corpse. (Also, when Edge posts Nighthound's death scene, I fully expect him to gain more upvotes than the average Sanderson post.) Sounds good. They're somewhat out of sight, aren't they? Hidden by the foliage, but not out of earshot? 2

I was imagining them as out of earshot, as Sam could hear Nighthound yelling but couldn't make out any words. Grrr. I put this in an edit above, but I somehow lost it after saving it. Anywho, I noticed that your profile picture has a low resolution when compared to your fellow Epic ponies. This is, naturally, entirely my fault. If it bothers you, I have re-cropped the original image to the same size Mail and I use. 2

Thank you! I'll change it soon. It's one of many obstacles we must overcome when every player has a different mental picture for what's going on. And no problem--it was genuinely just a matter of uploading the picture to a site and pressing a couple of buttons. I was already doing so anyway, making Sam and Revolution icons I have no plans of using. You're going next, if I'm not mistaken? 2

At least everyone pictures Lightwards and Nighthound more or less the same way—as a wimpy Indiana Jones and a living trollface, respectively. Writing it up now, and I'm just about finished.
Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Me likey. Once Quota's gaze has drifted away from me I firmly intend to press the little green arrow button. It's actually kind of thrilling to envision a daring escape from Funtimes. I wonder if our heroes will come anywhere close to pulling it off. (Spoilers: they probably won't, because we can't let half our vanilla cast disappear at once. ) Am I up next again? 1

Once Funtimes learns of his tyranny, she shall lead the glorious opening salvo of the Fun Revolution, which will be fun for everyone except him. Yeah, that's a meta reason. And a darn good one. Fortunately, there are plenty of in-story reasons why it wouldn't work (at least not before Remington and Wes hit it off ) so we won't have to resort to the age-old excuse of "It would break the plot." Yep. Until the others get back, I see no reason why we shouldn't continue our little vanilla sabotage. (Is Vanilla Sabotage a better metal name or indie name? I can't decide. )

Pray tell, what is this "plot" of which you speak? I don't know much about the metal or indie genres, but "Vanilla Sabotage" is one of those names that's awesome in any context. It occurs to me that Nathan's little plan here is one of many reasons Altermind could utterly crush Lightwards in a fight. He could use Lightwards' voice to dominate his zombies, and terrify the man himself by projecting illusions of Möbius or sinister!Funtimes. 1
Mailliw73 he/him Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Yes, Sightline's Weakness is Glasses. so how does he plan on teleporting out of the museum and why is he not freaking out?

He could use Lightwards' voice to dominate his zombies, and terrify the man himself by projecting illusions of Möbius or sinister!Funtimes. Wait. If Altermind created an auditory hallucination of Lightwards's voice for his Warriors, he could command them? :) Twi, if you get a Pan post up, I'll have Altermind inform Flashpoint of Scorch's death and then we could react to that. Or, you could write it in as Altermind coming over Flashpoint's mobile after Pan has looked around for a bit.

Steelheart tells us that not all Epics do at first. He could control them, but if they were given contradicting orders, they would default towards the real one. Same goes with recordings--he has a weak mental link with his Warriors. It's weak, but it's enough to tip the balance in his favor. As a side note, "Flash Revolution" just randomly joined the list of awesome ship names featuring Revolution.
