TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Twi did you want to do an Autumn post telling the twins to go take up the defence or shall I just have them hear the go ahead and... go ahead I was going to have her reply to Arsenal, check their ammo supplies, then have the twins lead the way out the butcher shop. Her goal will be getting to a more defensible position (since, although the butcher shop does have a lot of knives, if the pigs decide to ram the windows, they're screwed). Also, this line right here What he was really concerned about was how well-defended the butcher shop would be without the momentum-controlling goddesses on hand. reveals something very important about Backtrack's thought process. Here, we see that he views any Epic with stronger, more useful, or more combat-ready powers than his own (read: every Epic in this game from CorpseMaker all the way down to Big Al) as a god or goddess. This is roughly the same logic embraced by my dog, who fears anyone capable of activating the sound chip in her Santa hat as a wizard. (Sorry, Backtrack. You know I love you. ) Edited December 20, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 2

Voidus Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I just had another idea for an Epic (I know, I have a problem, I'm seeking help... from Counselor, an Epic I made ) but he's a bit too OP for any of the areas so far, so I guess he can just have his own area of currently undisclosed location until it can be worked in somehow.Epic name: TempestPrimary power: Mental illusions, one of the most powerful mental illusionist Epics in the fractured state, capable of manipulating all human senses including temporal-perception.Modus Operandi: Through combinations of hallucinations and altering his subjects temporal perception Tempest causes his victims to feel as though they have been tortured for years or even centuries all within the blink of an eye. 3

The one thing that scares me about Nighthound's eventual death: He would definitely go to hell, but I fear Satan would send him back because he didn't want any competition for his position. (Yes. Yes I do.

He sounds like the sort of Epic Khione would recruit.

That's... mortifying in more ways than I could count. Does he rule his own Epic fiefdom, or does he serve a somehow even more powerful Epic? The one thing that scares me about Nighthound's eventual death: He would definitely go to hell, but I fear Satan would send him back because he didn't want any competition for his position. Fun fact: Backtrack once visited Mesopotamia, using his power to see what happened in the Garden of Eden. He fled the country upon discovering that the Serpent that tempted Adam and Eve was Nighthound in a snakeskin loincloth. 2

Somewhere cold would definitely be a good place for him, the name even suits well through complete coincidence. (I was going off of the latin origin for tempest being Tempus (Time) and also "We are such stuff as dreams are made on" is one of my favourite lines from the Tempest and it seemed to suit) 1

The complete control over all senses has the potential of being so broken that copying Tsukuyomi really isn´t the worst thing he could do, afterall pain doesn´t hurt. Although depending on his range and requirements for using it on people someone that can just spam AoE might still nuke him.

I am the godess of glasses, you have displeased me! (Although that would probably only last as long as he needs to turn around and see her but until then he can quiver at her being a teleporter) Be happy I didn´t go with the Nighthound variant that posses the first vanilla he comes across after his death.

Although depending on his range and requiaments for using it on people someone that can just spam AoE might still nuke him. ... somehow I completely missed the Tsukuyomi connection. Yeah he's pretty broken but with no secondaries or PI he's very fragile, particularly to surprise attacks, but people are deterred by the fact that if he's alive for even a second after he gets attacked and his weakness isn't in effect he'll strike back.

So Khione has a friend, then? (Still trying to decide. Would weather control be enough to keep her safe from an attack, or should I give her some sort of PI, too?)

That happens sometimes. Still depends on his range mostly though, if for example he´s in the Metal´s range when trying something he´s pretty much death instantly or Marry could just keep triggering her resurrection until she hits him by process of elimination, yes she would get hurt a lot but trust me, that won´t work against her. Edit: As a general rule: Everything that´s immortal and really stubborn will eventually kill someone that isn´t, by tenacity alone. (exception´s like Möbius exsist.)

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Edge, does Shiny Sparkle's teleportation result in a shower of sparkles, or is it just a very shiny explosion?
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Edge, does Shiny Sparkle's teleportation result in a shower of sparkles, or is it just a very shiny explosion? Kinda a mix of both but if I had to choose one a shower of sparkles would fit better as a description.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Autumn reply up. Tell me if her description of Shiny Sparkle's entrance needs anything.
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Autumn reply up. Tell me if her description of Shiny Sparkle's entrance needs anything. It was quite the work of beauty, you did not mention Shiny Sparkle herself though.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 It was quite the work of beauty, you did not mention Shiny Sparkle herself though. I wasn't sure how close she was. Is she within sight?
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) I wasn't sure how close she was. Is she within sight? Depends, if that shower of light was suppossed to be the one caused by her teleportation she´s right in the center of it, which should be right in front of Autumn, should those have been the explosions caused by the baskets she´s as far away as it suits the plot.

Is there a difference in intensity? I wrote it as if the explosions were caused by the baskets, following shortly on the heels of her teleportation, but if the ones from the baskets were much smaller, I'll change it.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Wow. I just finished reading the Portland thread. All I can say is wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thanks. (Unless that's at the word count, in which case….thanks? )
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Both. I'm surprised that, at page 41, Nighthound hasn't betrayed them yet. Is that going to happen at any point? In-game, it's only been a few days. Four, I believe. A lot happened in those days, but it hasn't been that long, by the game's timeline. Nighthound will probably save his betrayal for day five or six.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Wow, really? Um, was reading the thread a requirement to join? If not... I'm still glad I did it. Not a requirement, but at least skimming it is definitely recommended. (I'm still impressed, though. We tend to be pretty wordy.)

For the basket explosions that would have been an oversell, they were more like happy festival fireworks. She could make them that bright but that would also cut of her line of sight, reducing the numbers of explosions she can cause. Wow. I just finished reading the Portland thread. All I can say is wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Yeah, we do some crazy thinks sometimes. (Arbitrary question, whats you favourite part. ) Both. I'm surprised that, at page 41, Nighthound hasn't betrayed them yet. Is that going to happen at any point? I honestly don´t know, probably not before Corpsemaker is death. After that it might depend if Lucentia and Lightwards actually end up as an old married couple. (It´s actually only been two days and an fight scene evening since they joined up.)
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) ...Pretty wordy?!!!!!!!! Although, I did appreciate the sparklyness. Epics like themes and motifs. For Funtimes, those words translate to "glitter" and "more glitter." Edit: I'll add in her seeing Shiny Sparkle nearby. Edited December 20, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles
