Question 4

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Lightsong the Bold: Have you ever noticed that both our names begin with the word "light"?

 

Lightwards the Green: No, I can't say it ever entered my extraordinarily busy mind. Though I suppose yours is empty enough to entertain such things.

 

Lightsong the Bold: Oh, Lightwards. We really need to put a curb on that perpetual grumpiness of yours. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that you need to... lighten up.

 

Lightwards the Green: ...I hate you.

 

Color me interested--the idea's' as immensely intriguing as it is patently impossible.

 

The main drawback is that this would require Koschei still being alive, which is too horrifying to contemplate even for a second.

 

I would read 300 pages of Lightsong trolling Lightwards.  

 

I'm not quite sure how the logistics would work out, either. Unless…Backtrack got his powers several years before Koschei tried to conquer The Dalles, didn't he? What if it were an AU scene where, after fleeing north, Backtrack winds up in The Dalles right as Koschei is attempting his takeover? 

 

Working on it. I'm waiting for the  MEE attack to be over.

 

Or maybe that would be the perfect cover for Fade. You'll have to find out.

 

 

How do you not notice the largest Slotze in the Dalles getting abducted by pandas?

 

 

I think Altermind would be Vinzzini

Altermind: Let me put it this way, have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Lightwards: Yes.

Altermind: Morons

 

That sounds like Altermind.   

[Fatebreaker he/him]

Weaponized pandas? Backtrack thought blankly. Surely that must be code for something.

 

You'd think after encountering Funtimes and the MoNA he'd be able to accept this statement at face vaule.  

 

I would read 300 pages of Lightsong trolling Lightwards.

 

I see your 300 pages and raise you three-book series.

That could easily work as an alternate universe. (And is simpler than my default suggestion of having the Sibyl team up with Koschei. )

Backtrack in 2021 would still have been a drifter, working for small Epic gangs across the west coast. I think he'd have avoided any particularly large or ambitious groups, preferring to run errands for smaller scale Epics like the Museum Quartet.

How would Koschei have reacted to Backtrack? Would he have seen him as useful enough to bother with?

I see your three-book series and raise you a three-book series and a TV show. 

 

Edit:

Early on in his conquest, Koschei might have ignored Backtrack—but it would have had to have been very early on. At any point after Remington's escape (around the time when The Dalles went to war) Koschei would have liked to recruit someone like Backtrack, who could track where Remington had been and what his plans were at the time. He would think of Backtrack as a scrawny weakling, perhaps barely worthy of being an Epic, but one useful enough to keep alive until he had proven his worth.

Wait, so is this actually happening, or is it just being fanfic?

 

Or, well, fan fan fic?

Yes it does, how did you know!

If it does, it wouldn't be part of the in-game continuity at all. Definitely an AU fan-fanfic. 

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Panda, (I really want to call you Jain ) What do you think of Frequency joining up with the Panda?

Also, I made clarifications to the Destructors. Jag does have retractable claws, but no accelerated healing. He does have impervious skin (a la Steelheart) and Metalmech has this feature of healing: when he is injured, Metalmech's injury is covered in metal, which then falls off and is healed.

[Edgedancer he/him]

Edgedancer, what is Baxter Game's personality like? By which I mean, would it make sense for Autumn to call him "good at his work, but tread lightly; he hasn't been the same since he lost someone important to him," or to insinuate that he can be somewhat cranky and isn't pleasant when he's in one of his moods? Alternatively, is he secretly a LARPer, or does he sometimes wear a cloak out on the town just because? 

 

I guess what I'm trying to ask is: what traits could Autumn describe to Backtrack that might be interpreted by our favorite past-seer as "OH GREAT NOODLY ONE HE'S GOING TO SLIT MY THROAT SHOULD I CALL HIM YOUR EXCELLENCY OR YOUR GRACE?"

I have learned that characters are a bit unpredictable until they had a couple of viewpoints but if everything goes as planned he´ll be a nice man with some sadness inside. (That sounded incredible cheesy ) You could always go the "is good with children" route.

 

It's amazing how fast the Question thread can fill up. 

 

Informant has a special power that makes him an ideal spy. Reader never remembered him 

 

 

The Panda won't be leading the abduction. One of his Panda subordinates will.

Touch is the easiest for turning someone for The Panda. However, while transforming someone into something like a bear would take Panda a few minutes, he's had sooo much experience turning things into pandas, it only takes him a few seconds to transform something into a panda. Also, the Panda has altered himself (and his minions) to have a much more tougher and resilient body. The Panda can also heal himself of a bullet wound quite easily.

 

 

Who needs to see, when you can hear or smell them? 

Yes, yes it is.

 

Reader doesn´t have to remember him, he only needs to see him and presto, he knows the whole plan.

 

A subordinate that´s a lot easier to shoot, maybe even easier than Reader.

 

Is that healing strong enough for the turret mounted on the helicopter?

 

The one that wants to aim specifecly at them and not only at their vague vicinity?

Just gonna assume that he heals even in case of complete body obliteration.

How about "He likes kids," followed by a sorrowful expression when she thinks of his missing daughter?

It's good, he has a way of making even Reader forget

Though I do still see the problem of "why don't we just shoot Reader?"

[Voidus]

Or blast him down with one of the Epics, all of whom I assume hate Reader and would be glad to 'help'

[Edgedancer he/him]

That would work beautifully.

Sounds like you know what it is, so you can probably judge better than me but you might want to consider 1) Reader/a soldier might just shoot the completly unknown guy not identifying themself in a security area, with Reader using the fact that he got by the guards completly unnoticed and isn´t known by anyone as an alibi after shooting him or

2) Reader simply writing down all he needs to know about the guy, to account for his powers and plan.

That's right, Reader would know about the plan and his powers. Yeah Panda I'm not sure how well this will be able to work out.

Side note: I'd like to take Terry Bloom as a viewpoint character, as I don’t have any vanillas yet. But how to make him important.... hm....

[Kobold King he/him]

That is insanely, almost dreadfully perfect.

Unless the informant didn't know the whole plan... maybe the informant just thinks he's gathering general information, and isn't actually part of a kidnapping plan?

 

I'd support that. Maybe Terry Bloom serves with distinction against the pandas and gets a promotion, somehow?

That may work, though we'd have to talk to Panda.

That also might work.

Would Britanic Jerald Jansink also become a character, then?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

I support Terry Bloom as a viewpoint character.

Maybe he goes 300days without punching Reader in the face and gets promoted to personal bodyguard....with the added bonus that Reader isn't allowed to torment him?

Serving with distinction in the panda invasion makes a lot more sense.

[mail-mi he/him]

That might happen. I'd almost forgotten about her honestly

[Kobold King he/him]

Honestly, my Google searches kept proclaiming "Britanic" to be a male name. I thought Britanic Jerald Jansink was, by extension, male.

Which is better... going 300 days without punching Reader, or getting free drinks at the Springfield for punching Reader?

Depends, do you get to punch Reader after being promoted?

What if at the promotion ceremony, Terry is allowed to ceremoniously punch Reader in the face, announcing to everyone that he is now above Reader's torment?

At Christmas, The Dalles is wholly decorated with mistletoe, with a modified tradition:

 

If you find yourself under the mistletoe with Reader, you're allowed to punch him in the face with no repercussions.

Jingleberry immediately became the states most sought after and influential Epic.

The mistletoe isn't always easy to spot, but the soldiers always seem to find it. This has led Reader to write many letters to Calamity, requesting clairvoyance for Christmas. He has concluded that Calamity would make a terrible Santa.
