TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 Real name: A totally normal name that I should definitely be able to think of Epic name: Epilogue Primary power: Causing any situation to end with Nighthounds death. Even if Nighthound is already dead he will become alive again for precisely the length of time needed for him to die. Bio: Epilogue had absolutely no idea he was an Epic for a significant length of time owing to the very specific nature of his powers. But then everything changed when Nighthound attacked. There are not enough upvotes in the world for this Epic. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 There are not enough upvotes in the world for this Epic. Agreed, but I threw mine to him nonetheless. Again such a slow day. Contemplate this: 1) The Dalles are currently the weirdest place I have seen outside anime and Backtrack might have to give Lightwards a report of what is going on. Oh, Backtrack will definitely be giving a report. Lightwards may or may not press a gun to his forehead for having the audacity to imagine such nonsense. I'm curious about what these animes are, if they're stranger than The Dalles. 2

Lightwards is frenemies with Funtimes and he still finds it hard to believe in flying pigs and talking pandas? I somehow get the feeling that he'd be the Vernon Dursley type of parent: "Motorcycles don't fly! How dare your subconscious project that seditious image into your head!" Yeah, me too. They sound kind of awesome. 3

Those were removed from a site known for hosting M-rated stories for being "too disturbing for mortal vision." Fortunately, the crowd-pleasing And Then the Nighthound Died series of one-shots is still available. Current chapter: "Michael Jager and the Year CPS Agents Were Given Green Beret Training and Armed with Rocket Launchers and Construction Cranes." 3
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Oh, Backtrack will definitely be giving a report. Lightwards may or may not press a gun to his forehead for having the audacity to imagine such nonsense. I'm curious about what these animes are, if they're stranger than The Dalles. He needs to bring witnesses... actually could Backtrack just show Lightwards what happend by using his power on himself. Lets see, what can I think of on the top of my head. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: The protagonists are literally fueld by the power of awesome! Just look at the ultimate form of their mecha (well ignoring the even larger form in the movie.) Yes those are galaxies in the background, it is that huge! Jojo´s bizarre adventure: It has multiple parts, just let me sumarize the pitch for part 7 I´m currently reading. A horse race in alternate history (the entire universe just got recreated in canon, don´t ask) wilde west America, which gets sidetracked by the search for Jesus mumified body to keep the President from taking over the world and that´s not even talking about some of the powers in there. Fair warning the older parts are even older than me, so some of the science is downright wrong. Haruhi Suzumiya: Let me explain it in terms that make it easy to understand. Imagine Funtimes as a "ordinary" schoolgirl, take away her Epic powers and instead give her reallity altering powers she is unaware of. The series is then told from Nathan´s perspective, trying to stop her retconning the world. Soul Eater: In the later parts of the series insanity becomes an actual power source for the characters. The world ends with you (actually a game): Dead people get another chance at life if they manage to survive a week long death game with supernatural beings trying to erase them. To be honest, the strangeness comes more from the game being heavily stylized. 3

Edgedancer he/him Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 How so? That´s very hard to explain. The game is set in Shibuya and captures the towns essence from art style to themes and gameplay mechanics. It´s probably something you would have to take a look at yourself, if you want to understand it. 1

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 School's out for a week, and my Sanderson Elimination Game is over, so I'll be able to actually post an RP tomorrow. After I catch up on sleep. When will we get to see the Chi/Timeport Post?

I could write something but with Voidgaze I´m waiting for the MEE attack to start proper and I´m not sure you want to know every detail of Nighthound´s evening trip.

I'm just waiting on the TT/MoNA meeting to progress a bit more before getting the attack underway, so that AM doesn't get called away 5 seconds into the meeting. Unless it ends with 'and then Nighthound died' I think you might be right

Voidus Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Actually, what´s your opinion for having Shyiny Sparkle landing close by to Autumn&co and Arsenal giving out the okay for the twins to join the fight? Fine with me, it'll be a pretty large scale use of their powers so it'd move their ultimate corruption forwards a bit.
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 So, I finally made my RP post. I'd been suffering a writer's block, so I couldn't have made that post earlier.
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I´m not doing this because it´s fun but I think I should mention a couple points. The extraction was almost perfect, with Lieutenant Porkchop and his squadron and his squadron of flying porkers arriving on the second, and the Shadow Pandas were air-lifted away in a basket. Back at the Bunker, a man with a fedora slipped quietly out of the compound. It had been a long and tiring day for him, but it had yet to finish. Reapeated words also the pigs group flying in there we can talk about but landing and flying away again is even worse. His task had turned out far simpler than he had thought. Earlier today, an acquaintance of his had jammed the devices of the Guards of The Dalles. I have to call on this three ways at once. 1)No way in Damnation that no one would notice such a sabotage, even if someone managed to pull this off. 2)The communication of the Dalles has already been shown to work perfectly. 3)The plan still collapses as soon as one scout meets someone before making it towards headquarters and tells them in person, for example at one of the outposts... furthermore wouldn´t Vincent remember what he was suppossed to be doing the moment Informant left the tower and thus stopped using his powers on him?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Since I have some extra time on my hands, I thought I'd give you a meeting nobody asked for: The Panda and Slaughterhouse. Slaughterhouse stepped back, admiring his handiwork with a grin. "Dragonfly wings," he said admiringly. "Can't believe I didn't think of that before." The vanilla whimpered as a stiff breeze sent pain fluttering through the gossamer wings. "Ah, quit your whining," Slaughterhouse said. "You sound like that Backtrack guy." As the vanilla tried and failed to contain another whimper, a furry mass of black and white ambled toward them, gnawing contentedly on a piece of bamboo. Before Slaughterhouse could blink, the panda had a hand stretched out toward his newest creation. Skin bubbled, fur sprouted, another cry of pain tore from his lips— And a panda fluttered its delicate wings. "What the—dude! That was mine!" The panda polished off his bamboo. "You don't do that! You can't just come up and turn my art into a sparking panda!" "Just did." The panda ambled over to a gagged woman and, with a touch of his paw, transformed her into a panda. "Stop that!" The panda reached out a paw toward Slaughterhouse. "Care to join them?" "What?" "Do you want to be a panda?" There was a faint singsong note in the panda's voice. "Wear some fur of black and white?" Slaughterhouse backed away, not daring to take his eye off the panda bear. "You've got a problem." "Do you want to be a panda?" Slaughterhouse did something he hadn't done since before Calamity: He turned tail and ran. 5

Naturally, neither of them is Kars but only few people reach the level of body manipulation that is Kars. Still, it´s kind of impressive that Backtrack´s whining has gotten memetic enough for Slaughterhouse to know of it. Maybe it became a lot more famous after Lightwards punished him after returning from the Dalles with little useful information and losing two Epics for the Empire... he´ll need something to balance that out, won´t he? 1
