Kobold King he/him Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Did you just peek ahead to page 60? I hope so. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 I hope so. But first, some things have to happen. First, Funtimes must learn that Sam's mother is in danger. Second, she must learn that Mrs. Trattner is likable. Third, Mrs. Trattner must accept, however briefly, that Funtimes almost always fills up on sugar and so does not have any sort of desire to see if people are delicious. Finally, Funtimes must realize that Mrs. Trattner is a baker, and that baking produces cupcakes, and that cupcakes can be made into explosives. (She knew all of this already, but a refresher couldn't hurt.) And before all that happens, we need to get through the meeting. How long were we planning on having it go for? Until Altermind gets word of the MEE attack? 1

Until Altermind gets word of the MEE attack? Until we get to see Doctor Drunktimes. That seems sensible. I guess it's mostly a meeting for the diffusion of information. Once more permanent forts and military arrangements have been established, Lightwards and Altermind can meet more frequently for discussing on-the-fly strategy. 1

I guess it's mostly a meeting for the diffusion of information. Once more permanent forts and military arrangements have been established, Lightwards and Altermind can meet more frequently for discussing on-the-fly strategy. Ask and you shall receive, my friend. That would give Funtimes the excuse she needs to get Vanilla Sabotage out of there and back to the cottage. And if she knew about the MEE attack on the MoNA before it happened, she would have an excuse to leave the "teleporter" there and take a helicopter or something back to Portland. (Lightwards didn't think she'd let his insistence on Nathan and Sightline being buddies slide, did you?) 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) <Wants to see a Drunkwards/Drunktimes fight. "Lightwards." The word was slurred out of her smiling mouth as she rested her elbows on the table. "Lighty Lighty Lightwards. What'm I gonna do with you? Should I let you walk out that door 'thout telling you you'd fall and make all your bones go splooshy?" Her hiccup became a giggle. "Or should I turn your shoes into penguins?" "I'll take the penguins," Lightwards slurred irritably. She giggled again. "Foot-eating penguins it is." Edited December 22, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 3

(Lightwards didn't think she'd let his insistence on Nathan and Sightline being buddies slide, did you?) Lightwards is pretty much just testing the limits of what he can do around her without being tar-and-feathered. Most of his cruelties have some sort of strategy behind them; he'll be watching her to see what sort of retaliation she comes up with. I presume it will be a glittery helicopter? With smiley faces plastered over every square inch of it? "Lightwards." The word was slurred out of her smiling mouth as she rested her elbows on the table. "Lighty Lighty Lightwards.

They wake up in bed together, which severely alarms them both until Nathan explains they'd passed out while having a hold-your-breath-while-jumping-on-the-bed-in-your-underwear-contest. It was all over the Thoughttown Gazette the next day. 3

But I do know that Quota will coax out dark!Funtimes before she arrives back at the MoNA, so there's no telling what she'll do. (Though, sudden thought: what are the chances of one of the raptors being killed in action during the attack?) Whatever will annoy him the most. She'd arrive in a helicopter shaped like Nathan's face, but even she would find that creepy. The following day the Thoughttown Gazette had two major news stories, 1.

Although it didn't make it into the Gazette, another thing of note happened that morning. Lightwards arrived back at the MoNA and slammed the door to Quickslide's old room, intending to sleep off the hangover, only to jump out of it with a yelp seconds later. A witness at the scene mentioned that they briefly glimpsed his entire room, floor to ceiling, wallpapered with that article from the Gazette. Everyone, of course, denied responsibility, though Sam and Nathan were reportedly high-fiving when the Emperor's back was turned. Edited December 22, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 3

The raptors are faster and stronger than humans, but even they can't really hold their own against combat-oriented Epics. Dare I ask why you ask? She could always come in a blimp with his face painted on the sides. Perhaps the greatest consequence of the scandal was the Underwear Revelation. As it turns out Funtimes' underwear glitters (which no one found surprising) and that Lightwards' was printed with cartoon dinosaur pictures (which similarly surprised no one.)

As it turns out Funtimes' underwear glitters (which no one found surprising) and that Lightwards' was printed with cartoon dinosaur pictures (which similarly surprised no one.) Lightwards' repeated insistence that Funtimes must have changed his boxers largely fell on deaf ears. That's what I thought. It just seemed like a fitting revenge to exit the MoNA after the battle, leaving Lightwards to wonder why, as he clears some of the damage, the museum seems to be missing a few raptors while trees have sprouted in previously bare spots. Still a little creepy. First rule of conquering a city: never paint your boyfriend's face on the side of a blimp. The Underwear Revelation became the Underwear Revolution when Black Fist got wind of the scandal. Their greatest achievement during the Revolution was obtaining a flag-sized replica of said underwear, which they strung from the nearest flagpole with SEE YOUR EMPEROR'S DIRTY LAUNDRY scrawled on a banner beneath them. 3
Voidus Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 It is rumored that Nighthound has even more hillarious underwear, however this is a fundamentally unprovable hypothesis as no one would ever be willing to check no matter what the comedic payoff. 2

That'll definitely tick him off. Though he still harbors hopes that he can convince Funtimes to help him create an immense raptor army, as she's demonstrably capable of creating living things. If she could create dead raptors out of things like lawn chairs or sidewalks or watering cans... Portland will be in trouble. As a side effect of our shipping, it took me way longer than it should have to realize Underwear Revolution wasn't a ship. 2

As a side effect of our shipping, it took me way longer than it should have to realize Underwear Revolution wasn't a ship. She knows he admires her power, even if she doesn't know what he hopes just yet. She'll be sure to do something just sweet enough to keep his hopes alive, once she cools off a bit. Give me 3 minutes to make a suitable Epic and it shall be a reality. …. I want to say no to whatever you're planning, but if it involves an underwear-related Epic and the resulting ship is called Underwear Revolution, I'm all for it.
Voidus Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Epic name: Captain UnderwearPrimary power: Personal invisibilitySecondary power: Minor fire creationModus Operandi: An extremely juvenile Epic, Captain Underwear spends his days invisible while creeping around and pantsing people. When irritated he is known to set people pants on fire while dancing around invisible singing 'Liar liar' 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I´m not here for one evening and you start talking about halfnacked people, alcohol overuse, gossip press, underwear and... face obsessions? What´s next? Good to see Nighthound isn´t the only monster around anymore. Tough, the Dalles seems to have it comming right now, how many attempts at an hostile take-over does that make?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 I had a thought today. Picture, if you will, Steelheart: The Movie...as directed by Stanley Kubrick. Let it sink in. Embrace the thought. Then groan when you realize that although Kubrick would never agree to direct it, Michael Bay would jump at the chance. 2

Embrace the thought. Then groan when you realize that although Kubrick would never agree to direct it, Michael Bay would jump at the chance. Look at it positively, with enough explosions Nighthound is bound to die at one point or another. Otherwise, Bay could not do the book justice, he would have fun with the gun though. *sighs at disgust with self when self realizes that self does not know who either of those people are* Anyway, what are your opinions of the animation of What Happened in Portland? It's a big project and I don't want to get too far in and realize that people are indifferent. If you can pull it of that sounds awesome and probably better than what Bay would produce. I just reached the point where Nighthound reaches the museum, so could I maybe have a vague physical description of Red?
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Dark red hair which used to be blond until she stained it with blood, tan skin, dull brown eyes, a red cloak, black shirt, black pants, and brown boots. Anything besides that, you're welcome to add. Does she literally have blood clumps in her hair?

It's a big project and I don't want to get too far in and realize that people are indifferent. Kubrick directed 2001: A Space Odessey, a The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange. Michael Bay directed the Transformers movies. What exactly would be animated? Ponies, or some other sort of drawing? It sounds super ambitious. Edited December 22, 2014 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Yes, that sounds about right. That´s....not only disturbing but also very nasty and unhygienic. Edited December 22, 2014 by Edgedancer
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Like take lots of pictures and play them back. My friend reccomended watching the movie for the Space Odessy, he said it was true to the book. Still haven't watched it, but I want to. And i've never watched Transformers. That sounds really cool. Count yourself lucky. Basically, Kubrick was a very artistic director, while Bay is the one who blows stuff up.
