Question 2

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

"Möbius?" Lightwards forced himself to look into those cold, analytic eyes. Even now, staring into those sent a chill straight through his bone. But there were some women who who worth a tingling through the spine to be with.

"What is it, Lightwards?" the Epic replied, giving him an appraising glance. "You had something you wanted to tell me?"

Lightwards swallowed. "I know we've had our differences," he blurted finally. "You killed me, I almost killed you. But let's put it all behind us. I've been in Oregon for a while now. I've been leered at, shot in the chest, trapped in tar, and been made fun of for my choice in hats. I've come to realize that there's only one place in the world I want to be in. "He gave her a weak smile. "And that's in your arms."

"I'm afraid that's no longer possible."

Lightwards frowned. That wasn't Möbius' voice. That sounded like a man--

Then he saw him. A tall man with pale blonde hair, a purple cloak trailing behind him, crowned with a circlet of what seemed to be gold.

"This is Koschei," Möbius explained, putting her arms around his thin body. "We met last October when I went insane for a little while, and we sort of hit it off."

"You're my little loop-de-loop," Koschei said warmly, pulling her closer to himself.

"And you're my little creepy-bear!"

Far to the sidelines, unnoticed by any Epics, stood Remington Springfield. His gaze flickered first to Lightwards' heartbroken expression, then back to his dead nemesis passionately making out with the queen of Calamityville.

"I've got very mixed feelings about this," he said finally.

WHY CAN I NOT GIVE THIS A MILLION UPVOTES

QUOTA YOU SLONTZE

[Voidus]

So kind of like an Atium Misting?

Yeah, but with everything, he answers questions before they're asked, greets people before they arrive and launches attacks against enemies who aren't there yet.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

I love it! Both the Cocoa Puffs stories and the shipping.

Yes, Altermind becomes whiny and grumpy when he thinks that all other Epics are arrogant and want power. He doesn't see those qualities in himself though. I left it open for whoever. And so you Empire people and Joe know, I'm planning on having Sightline and Voidgaze teleport back in the middle of the meeting.

Voidus, oh I see. So it's kind of inconvenient then?

Yeah, I might give him a secondary power, this was just my instant Epic-creation-reflex kicking in.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Haha okay. It would be very funny to see in action though.

L:"Hello, sir"

Other:"Latermind, who are you talking to?"

*Man appears

O:"Oh, hello there"

Latermind slaps at the air in front of the man.

Man pulls out a gun and shoots immediately after his hand moves.

[Voidus]

I might actually introduce him into the MEE, his powers would be useful but he'd also be underpowered compared to other precogs so he'd classify as a mid-range I'd think

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Cool!

On a completely unrelated note, I passed 1000 rep and am now a Sentient Awakened Object.

[Voidus]

Good... good.

Soon the ponies will take over all of the top 10! Mwahahahahahahahaha!

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Really though. Joe is in spot 25 and Kobold, Twi, you, Edgedancer, and I are all ahead of him. So there's six of us in the top 25 and the others are progressing fast.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Also, I just realized that Koschei has one canon appearance, two lines of dialogue, and an incomplete bio to his name, and he's already being shipped.

In the words of Remington Springfield, I've got very mixed feelings about this.

"What is it, Lightwards?" the Epic replied, giving him an appraising glance. "You had something you wanted to tell me?"

That was absolutely fantastic.  And seriously people, I ignore this thread for the majority of a day and 2 pages are written?!  This thread, by itself, probably contributes to the majority of the posts each day. 

 

Completely unrelated, but have any of you read Playing for Keeps?  It is a superhero book that emphasizes the less useful powers, and Oregon is becoming similar to that world with the major factions and MEE forming.

 

Edit:  Mail-mi, it is, but not as bad as the Question threads.

Koschei is already a very distinctive character, quite enough for shipping to take place.

 

And apparently Koschei/Möbius is one of the more popular ships. Thanks, people.

Long... but awesome, right? Do you have a favorite part?

Yes. Very. I don't really have a favorite part, though nighthound freaks me out and doctor funtimes is just the most hilarious person ever. 

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Right, I'll get a Sightline post up in an Hour or so, What does he need to do, besides take Voidgaze  and a EOL Representative to Altermind?

[Kobold King he/him]

Who doesn't? Not as satisfying as watching Nighthound suffer, but Lightwards gets his dues a little more often.

 

Voidus, would you like to bring our little crowd of Epics up to the Museum?

 

EDIT:

 

Right, I'll get a Sightline post up in an Hour or so, What does he need to do, besides take Voidgaze  and a EOL Representative to Altermind?

 

I think he needs to get Lightwards' attention back from the toy soldiers and discuss the schedule for the next EOL-Thoughttown meeting.

 

Is the Empire supposed to send a representative to Altermind? I'd either forgotten or hadn't realized.

Yeah sure, Edge are Lucentia's diamonds still growing up to the museum or are they gone now that she's arrived there?

Thanks!  

 

It's the creepiest of OTPs.

Yes. Make him suffer for our amusement, Kobold! (Wow. That came out wrong. ) 

 

Yes. Very. I don't really have a favorite part, though nighthound freaks me out and doctor funtimes is just the most hilarious person ever. 

Thanks!  

 

Also, what would my characters do if they got to Walmart and found a distressing lack of Cocoa Puffs? 

 

Nathan 

 

There was nothing worse than wanting Cocoa Puffs when your girlfriend was in a Fruit Loops kind of a mood. 

 

Actually, yes there was. Wanting Cocoa Puffs when your girlfriend was an insane matter transformer, currently bent on turning every cereal in the house into Fruit Loops. Not to mention the soap and dish towels. 

 

Nathan washed his hands in the Walmart bathroom, then changed into jeans and a T-shirt, stowing his suit and duster in his backpack. Funtimes was still insisting he act like an Epic, but he hated the looks he got. Especially from servers and retail workers. Surely it wouldn't hurt if he spent one trip to the store as a normal guy—one who wouldn't make the clerks scatter and give him fear-filled glances as he grabbed a box of Cocoa Puffs. 

 

He tugged the fishing hat down lower, covering his hair, and made for the cereal aisle, unconsciously hurrying his step. They were so close. So close he could taste them, covered in milk, or maybe he'd just eat them right out of the box….

 

Gone. 

 

Nathan stared morosely at the shelf. Every box of Cocoa Puffs was gone. Not that he could blame Portlanders—Cocoa Puffs were delicious—but they couldn't have left him just one box? 

 

"'Scuse me," he said to the nearest clerk. "You wouldn't happen to have any—" 

 

Shots rang out. People screamed. And a terribly familiar voice promised to execute one person for every minute he went without his cereal. 

 

Time to change tactics. 

 

Nathan took the clerk by the hand. "Let's get to the back. You don't want to be anywhere near this guy, trust me."

 

Seriously, he thought as he hurried to the back, can't I just have one normal trip to the store?

 

 

Doctor Funtimes 

 

She sat in the Tillamook cottage, cramming fistfuls of Fruit Loops into her mouth.

 

This is boring, she suddenly thought. 

 

With that, the box of Fruit Loops became a box of Cocoa Puffs.

 

 

Remington 

 

"Bring me three boxes," Lightwards demanded. The bloodstained clerk got to his feet and shuffled toward the back. Dead—over a box of Cocoa Puffs. 

 

As Lightwards stood, Remington nudged the barrel of his rifle against the back of his neck. "How many lives have you got?" he asked quietly. "And how many are you willing to spend on that box of cereal?"

 

Koschei 

 

[Tulir he/him]

Koschei 

 

You just won't give much information about him, and I want to know more!

[Kobold King he/him]

Once again, I find myself in a house full of sleeping people, checking the forum one last time before going to bed...

And I nearly wake everyone else up with my laughter upon reading the Funtimes segment.

Can we agree here and now that the climax of the RP should include Lightwards and Remington dueling in the middle of Walmart?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Patience, young Padawan. All in due time.

I aim to please. And for bouts of laughter at the worst possible times.  

 

Yes. Do this we must.  

[Tulir he/him]

Mundivore

Mundivore didn't know why he was in this store, nor why he had this craving.  He didn't need to eat, so why did he feel the urge to eat as many Cocoa Puffs as he could?  He shook his head, trying to get rid off whatever was making him feel like this.  Must be a powerful physic Epic, Mundivore thought as he entered the store.  He quickly made his way to the cereal isle, watching as people scattered before him.  Mundivore quickly located where they should be, and none were there!

 

"This is unacceptable," Mundivore mumbled to himself.  He noticed how the isle vacated immediately, and walked to the end to grab an employee.  "Sir, you seem to be out of one of the most basic foods for breakfast.  You better bring Cocoa Puffs out quickly, but take you time," he said with as smile, "I have plenty."  The employee quickly ran to the back of the store.  Well, time to wait, I guess, Mundivore thought as he started examining the rest of the isle.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

CorpseMaker

CorpseMaker strode through the isle, heading for the Cocoa Puffs. He'd always loved them, you might say he had a, Weakness, for Cocoa Puffs. But when he arrived there, There were none to be found. He turned to the Nearest Employee. "You! Bring me Cocoa Puffs."

 

The man trembled. "Please Sir! Hundreds of Epics have been in here today, we're all out of Cocoa puffs."

 

CorpseMaker stared, then walked outside of the building to where he had left Upgrade. "Uber-Charge me." Upgrade nodded, and placed a hand on CorpseMaker's arm. CorpseMaker targeted the store, and counted down. There was a geat thud, and everyone in the store died all at once. Not finished, CorpseMaker looked down at the planet he stood on, and counted down again. Everyone in the world died instantly.

 

"Never again, will anyone refuse me Cocoa Puffs."

 

Seriousness again:

Are the Vanilla's really planning on betraying and fleeing Funtimes? Cause if so, I see our Big Bad guy for Part two.

Wait….with everyone in the world dead, how can CorpseMaker find anyone to make him Cocoa Puffs? 

 

Seriousness: 

 

She's pretty scary, so yes. But you know the saying "No plan survives the battlefield"? I have a feeling that will come into play.
