TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ooh...this is going to be just evil. You're right. He's not going to take it well at all. At all. This might be enough to drive him into Vondra's camp. Temporarily, at least. Before he goes full on sociopath again. How do you think he and Remington will get along, once Paladin learns Remington was the one who killed Koschei? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's the best he can realistically maintain in the post-Calamity world. As it is, I fear that the human-dominated Dalles isn't quite in keeping with the setting. It's not even close? Darn. Evidently I'm not Reader. ...Wait, I'm not Reader! Yay! I would stay in the relam of posibility, it just has to stay low-power, although it may start to be pushing it, if we introduce more Epics there. Cassandra Livri was born in a small town and lived a small life, but after Calmity came she accidentally triggered an Epic's weakness after the Epic killed her parents, and so Cassandra killed the Epic. Cassandra taught herself more about fighting, and headed towards Dallas, so she could find her uncle. Sadly, he was dead when she arrived. Now she's just trying to survive in Dallas. Dallas ot the Dalles? Anyway, welcome. And Mail-Mi, just have Timeport come into the base and enter the room with Corpsemaker. He'll greet him once he and quota are finished. Actually, what are we goin to do with the second Timeport? Also, random question but what is Corpsemaker´s real name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 CorpseMaker's real name is Jeffrey. Duh. The First Timeport will cease to exsist once he travels back in time, making the Second Timeport the only Timeport. CorpseMaker's real name is actually Cormic Waller. not Jeffrey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 He believed in Koschei's divinity. That is freaky and terrifying and wrong and I love it. (And I'd been picturing Koschei's band of Epics as something like a cult, so that's perfect.) good. I thought it would be interesting. I decided that as I wrote it, and it felt right, so. Cassandra Livri was born in a small town and lived a small life, but after Calmity came she accidentally triggered an Epic's weakness after the Epic killed her parents, and so Cassandra killed the Epic. Cassandra taught herself more about fighting, and headed towards Dallas, so she could find her uncle. Sadly, he was dead when she arrived. Now she's just trying to survive in Dallas. welcome! Only, it's The Dalles, not Dallas. A deranged Epic cultist... Paladin is not going to like this. Edgerunner's a particularly powerful and useful Epic, but doesn't provide vast quantities of usable information and doesn't have a prime invincibility. She'd be severely reprimanded for using her powers outside of operations, but there will be a significant amount of effort in the city towards keeping her comfortable. I imagine that most soldiers and other vanillas would also be inclined to obey her instructions, provided she doesn't contradict standing orders. Okay. I'll keep that in mind. This is my last time on before I leave on vacation for a week. So I'll try to post when I can and if I can't, I'll email Twi to post for me. I will have email access.

So he´ll time loop imediately? We would also have to switch perspectives to the "older" Timeport to keep the time loop stable. Okay, still better than Jeffrey I guess. Edit: "I'm Timeport.

Joe has it right. I'll just do a longer post where I go from the other Timeport's perspective when he meets himself, then have him appear back in the armory. What are you talking about that's not all he says: "I'm Timeport. And I used to work with the Reckoners. I know everything about them, and everything they know."

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 "I'm Timeport. And I used to work with the Reckoners. I know everything about them, and everything they know." The battle cry of a character who had spent an inordinate amount of time searching for the nearest Moral Event Horizon and is now sliding through it with glee. This is going to make things even more awesome than they already were. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's actually going to make CorpseMaker irritated at Streetwise more than anything. There's a Cell of Reckoners in Portland, and he wan't told of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I know everything about them, and everything they know Well that´s an "please don´t kill me afterall"-edit.

There's a Cell of Reckoners in Portland, and he wan't told of it? "Tell me, Streetwise, or I'll ask your corpse. Why. Did I not know. About the Reckoners cell?" Streetwise swallowed. "I…I didn't know…didn't know how close they were…." "The truth, Streetwise. Give me the truth, and give it to me now." Streetwise had envisioned this moment for a long while. He had imagined himself leaping heroically onto a table and shouting the truth to the heavens. He had pictured himself tearing out of the armory before CorpseMaker could do what he was known for. But now that the moment was here, Streetwise found himself speaking in a whisper. "Rachel." CorpseMaker glared, urging him to continue. "Rachel. She's…I….I love her." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just broke Corpsemaker´s heart, he takes so bad to rivals for his servants affection.

Seonid Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 How do you think he and Remington will get along, once Paladin learns Remington was the one who killed Koschei? Even in full sociopath mode, he'd have at least a grudging respect for Remington (unless he runs into folks with a Remington-hero-worship complex first, in which case he's a prime candidate for suspicion). Light!Paladin (or at least not-Dark!Paladin) would probably view the man as a potential powerful ally, even with the hero-worship. (He's got a lot more ability to see nuance when he's not Dark.) And, if I can pull it off, it will be non-Dark!Paladin that first makes it to The Dalles. There's always time for sociopathy later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our current MO of torturing Backtrack the failed attempt at an threesome sounds perfect to me.

Backtrack belongs to the "Epics rule, vanillas drool" branch of post-Calamity philosophy. He'd be inclined to doubt the twins' reasoning, assuming there nust be a High Epic in charge until faces with unquestionable evidence. This is assuming he even heard what they said, though, since oh Calamity oh Calamity he's just been shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
