Kobold King he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Not if Funtimes took it upon herself to become Portland's matchmaker. Then Portland is doomed. Then anything's possible. Pir2h, may I make a respectful suggestion? There are other Oregon threads in the planning right now, such as "What Happened in Astoria." In my humble opinion, I think it would be more worthwhile to save Dragon for one of those. Nerfing him to fit "What Happened in Portland" seems unnecessary, since this particular thread may not even last much longer. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 How nice of Snowfall. Was Funtimes going to bring her to the meeting? It could be a start, like the Unicyclist still not noticing Ray was their start. I told you, shipping is an art and must not be rushed! (Did I tell you that? I must've said it sometime....) Revolution will be at the meeting, and I'll put up a nice Raycyclist post once he's alone in the museum and has more time for Nighthound-free reflection. (Speaking of, what activities was Ray usually engaged in pre-Nighthound?) 1
Kobold King he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 There is this meeting that they'll both be at. Argh, there are so many potential ships begging to be launched at this meeting. Flash Revolution, Sight Revolution, Unnamed Thoughttown Guard Revolution... I told you, shipping is an art and must not be rushed! (Did I tell you that? I must've said it sometime....) Revolution will be at the meeting, and I'll put up a nice Raycyclist post once he's alone in the museum and has more time for Nighthound-free reflection. (Speaking of, what activities was Ray usually engaged in pre-Nighthound?) I believe that was one of the Immutable Laws of Shipping. 1. Nighthound can not be shipped. 2. All ships are valid unless in contradiction with the First Law. 3. All Revolution ships are inherently awesome, unless they are in contradiction with the First Law. 4. Shipping is an art and cannot be rushed, unless a rushed ship would result in the death of Nighthound. 3

Do not expect anything less than pure crack shipping unless the ship violates the First Law. In that case, it will either be a tragedy or the best story ever, depending on whether the Fourth Law is upheld. 6. Do not expect a healthy relationship dynamic with Doctor Funtimes. You can, however, expect fun ( if strange) dates. 3
Edgedancer he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 And there's plans... I´ve been hearing that a lot lately. Then Portland is doomed. Then anything's possible. Pir2h, may I make a respectful suggestion? There are other Oregon threads in the planning right now, such as "What Happened in Astoria." In my humble opinion, I think it would be more worthwhile to save Dragon for one of those. Nerfing him to fit "What Happened in Portland" seems unnecessary, since this particular thread may not even last much longer. Don´t underestimate nothing, there are a lot possiblities in nothingness. Probably better, thanks to the big Astorian four the power level can go up pretty high there. So as long as it isn´t Möbius. I told you, shipping is an art and must not be rushed! (Did I tell you that? I must've said it sometime....) Revolution will be at the meeting, and I'll put up a nice Raycyclist post once he's alone in the museum and has more time for Nighthound-free reflection. (Speaking of, what activities was Ray usually engaged in pre-Nighthound?) I´m fairly certain you did. In case he´s already keeping an eye on her he isn´t going to like what he sees next. Kind of depends on what state Portland´s social life was/is in while Corpsemaker was still in control. I would imagin her being active in sports and most likely parttaking in whatever equals a party around these parts, with no note worthy atrocities to her name, plus whatever kind of jobs lesser Epics had to do, while the power structure was still intact. Argh, there are so many potential ships begging to be launched at this meeting. Flash Revolution, Sight Revolution, Unnamed Thoughttown Guard Revolution... I believe that was one of the Immutable Laws of Shipping. 1. Nighthound can not be shipped. 2. All ships are valid unless in contradiction with the First Law. 3. All Revolution ships are inherently awesome, unless they are in contradiction with the First Law. 4. Shipping is an art and cannot be rushed, unless a rushed ship would result in the death of Nighthound. Trimmer Revolution, Everyone Revolution and the list only goes on. Should Nighthound ever make it to Astoria rule 1 is going to get violated badly. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) UTG Revolution is a must-happen at this meeting. Maybe Lightwards's guard? Lightwards would turn down any offer of having Thoughttown assign him a guard unfortunately. Unless of course he was permitted to turn the offered guard into a Warrior, at which point the shipping becomes a great deal harder. I could definitely see Revolution and UTG meeting each other whenever they could, however. If Thoughttown and the Empire are going to be allies during the CM War then there will probably be other meetings. (If this happens, he'll probably need a better name than "UTG." Forrest, perhaps, since "Forrest Revolution" has a nice ring to it?) Edited October 27, 2014 by Kobold King 3

I'll leave it to you to decide if this is good or bad. 2

Kobold King he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Right, so Revolution´s husband will be killed by Steelheart. Did we ever learn what happened to David´s mother? She also could turn life into a box of chocolate. From the Steelheart prologue: “David, turn around, please,” my father said. He had a soft voice. I’d never heard it raised, save for that one time at my mother’s funeral. Thinking of his agony on that day still makes me shiver. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 From the Steelheart prologue: I meant how she died. Was she killed by an Epic? Car crash? Cancer?
Edgedancer he/him Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 No, it was kind of open ended. Sadly, she can't transform abstract concepts. Otherwise, Nighthound's creepiness would be a sixty-gallon tub of ice cream by now. From the Steelheart prologue: Still leaves the question how she died, probably not that important. (Knowing Brandon I just proved that she´s Calamity or something less cliched. ) Are you sure Funtimes just didn´t want rum-rasin flavoured ice cream? 2

A nice Reckoners/Potterverse crossover story. Voldemort's cold, high voice cut through the Great Hall like a knife. "I do not wish to spill magical blood. Give me Potter, and I will leave your school unharmed. Give me Potter, and—" A long, drawn-out raspberry interrupted Voldemort's demands. "Don't listen to that old meanieface. He just wants Potter 'cause he's no fun!" A third voice—this a remarkably normal-sounding male one—followed the interruption. "Wait. He wants Potter because Potter's no fun, or because You-Know-Who is no fun?" The woman giggled. "He'll never know!" Voldemort's voice answered. "Doctor Funtimes, if you do not Apparate to my side at once I shall kill every Muggle you dare to claim as your friend!" A fourth voice entered the conversation. Being the students they were, everyone in the Great Hall knew this one belonged to an unpleasant, foul-tempered professor with far too much power. "She's not going to listen to you, Riddle. She never listened to me." Voldemort sputtered. "How—you—how dare you use my Muggle name?" "Riddle, Riddle, Riddy Riddy Riddle," Doctor Funtimes sang. As the foul-tempered professor sighed and Voldemort demanded Funtimes' surrender, a man in gleaming armor with a sword in his hand burst through the door. "Point me," he told the students in a low and dangerous tone, "to the Epic you call Lord Voldemort." 7

"Point me," he told the students in a low and dangerous tone, "to the Epic you call Lord Voldemort." Curses ricocheted down the halls, but Professor McGonagall was calm. She curtly lined her fellow professors into a row and laid out their battle plan. "Professor Towren," she decreed, "The Jägers are wreaking havoc near the Hufflepuff dormitories. You must get there ahead of them and cut them off." "With all due respect," the Charms teacher responded, "I don't think I've ever had a Hufflepuff student who passed above "Acceptable" in my class. Perhaps we'd be better off letting the Jägers wipe our hands of them and focus our resources on more valuable assets..." "Milton we are not having this argument right now! Go!" McGonagall watched Professor Towren grumpily run down the halls, turning to the next teacher. "Professor Cardinal, we'll need another line of defense by the Astronomy Tower. Will you--" "I already have a battle plan," Cardinal cut in pompously. "I can easily get to the house-elf kitchens from here. Once they've made the transformation into Warriors, I can efficiently lead them against the Dark Lord's forces..." "For the last time, we're not letting you murder the house-elves!" McGonagall shouted furiously. "There are plenty of deceased Death Eaters laying around, so use them." Professor Cardinal muttered irritably but followed orders. McGonagall turned to the rest of the teachers. "Before anyone else proposes a battle plan, let me remind you that we intend to still have a school when this conflict is over. Are there any decent proposals?" There was a tense silence for a moment, broken only by the distant sounds of Funtimes cackling and Voldemort roaring in anger. Finally, the shy History of Magic teacher raised his hand. "I want to go home!" Professor Lawrence wailed pathetically, straightening his ridiculous pink sunglasses. "I don't want to fight evil any more!" Professor McGonagall put her palm over her face and groaned. "I'm beginning to see how you people destroyed Oregon. What I can't see is why Professor Dumbledore thought recruiting you was in any way a good idea." 6

What I can't see is why Professor Dumbledore thought recruiting you was in any way a good idea." On what was to become the battlefield, Lord Voldemort was pacing. Pacing and cursing—until he stopped. "Malfoy!" Draco Malfoy swallowed and stepped forward. "Yes, my lord?" "Go into the castle. Find Doctor Funtimes and bring her to me at once." Lucius and Narcissa traded glances, while Draco mulled that command over. "My lord?" "Yes?" "These—these robes she gave us—" "Not another word, Draco." "But—they're entirely functional. I mean, sure, they're pink, and mine has ponies all over it, and I'd be the last to say Greyback and Nighthound look anything but—uh—well, they're wearing robes made entirely of glittering rainbow ribbons, so—" "Find me Funtimes and bring her to me at once!" "Y-yes, my lord." "And when you find her, tell her that I will not consent to calling my Death Eaters the Fun Army of Happiness and Sunshine." ---------------------------- It was remarkably easy to find her, Draco mused. Perhaps she had planned it that way all along. "….and he said he's not calling us the Fun Army of Happiness and Sunshine. And I believe he wants to murder you when he sees you next." He traded glances with Funtimes, and each of her Muggles in turn. They all burst out laughing. "Okay okay okay," Sam said when she got her wind back, "tell us what his face looked like. Did he go all red?" "Oh, and his voice!" Revolution leaned forward eagerly. "Did he shriek like a little girl?" 4
