Edgedancer he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Is that an evil cowgirl Voidgaze? I learned something today. In 2001, a man named Ryan Roberts was accepted to NASA's co-opt program. Although he had always dreamed of going to the moon, he changed his mind when he saw a collection of moon rocks and one from Mars in a locked safe. He fell for an intern, who conspired with him in stealing the moon—which they did several months later. You might ask what sort of heist they pulled off to get a 600-pound moon rock out the door. From what I understand, they just sort of walked out. Yeah. So when he tried to sell the moon rock, it turns out the buyers were undercover FBI agents, because of course they were. The FBI agents Roberts somehow didn't suspect of working for the FBI searched his apartment—and found he had also stolen several fossils from a museum in Utah. What is the moral of this story? Lightwards' real name isn't Thomas Cardinal, apparently. That, or he changed it sometime between the year 2001 and Calamity's rise. I´m not sure what to say, so I shall just upvote you for that story. First Frostfire post is up! Reader is (for now, anyways) free from the pandas. What do you think? Nice post and Reader has been safed from limbo, so it gets my total approval. Not sure, how I feel about him identifying with his old name that much.
Voidus Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Thought I'd get the MEE attack moving again.Joe I'm not sure what you want to do with Big Al, did you still want to write him or is he Edge's now?
Aonar he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice post and Reader has been safed from limbo, so it gets my total approval. Not sure, how I feel about him identifying with his old name that much. And Frostfire likes it, for exactly that reason. It tends to disconcert other Epics, and put vanillas off their guard. In terms of him referring to himself, it depends. Usually, they're pretty well interchangeable, but depending on the situation, he often uses one far more than the other. In the convoy, surrounded by vanillas and having not used his power for several days, he's going to identify far more strongly as Ethan. While he is using his powers fairly heavily, fighting, angry, etc., he refers to himself as Frostfire almost exclusively. If you want to, you could look at it as a particular quirk of the instability generated by his corruption. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 New Nathan/Quota post up. I left it open for word to reach Altermind about the MEE attack while Funtimes is there, if that's what you were planning, and I left Quota's plans up in the air for now. Also, with Funtimes, I figured that when her drunkenness got out of control, Altermind would have Intervention sober her up a bit. If he wouldn't, or if he can't, let me know and I'll change it. 2

Voidus Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 <Is dissapointed that no ones clothes were altered during Drunktimes post. Then again Lightwards in Lycra is an image we could all do without. 2

Unless what Quota sent him to do was cut off the hand of some poor soul, that is. It was. I'd assumed he'd put the heart down for their stunt at the coffee shop. And there's still time for Lycra!Lightwards. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 It was. I'd assumed he'd put the heart down for their stunt at the coffee shop. And there's still time for Lycra!Lightwards. Lycra!Lightwards, at this point in time, would result in an all-out Epic brawl on the street. Not necessarily a bad thing, and it'd certainly be entertaining, but I'm afraid it wouldn't quite mesh with our plans as a whole. (The Drunktimes post was awesome, by the way. And I'm wondering just how accurate Funtimes' estimation of the meeting time was. ) 2

We just need for Funtimes to break the fourth wall a bit and she'll officially be the Reckonerverse Pinkie Pie. 2

Sorry you're feeling blue. And it's a shame you're so strapped for time. Getting an overload of work sucks. Have an upvote. Though for what it's worth, I thought the Quota post was great. 1

They discovered you know about Brandon Sanderson, the man that brought swords to a wedding. And Frostfire likes it, for exactly that reason. It tends to disconcert other Epics, and put vanillas off their guard. In terms of him referring to himself, it depends.

Aonar he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) No, not yet, unfortunately. The local bookstore doesn't have it, and told me they wouldn't get it if they ordered it until February. I've heard that lots of assumed canon about Epics, weaknesses and the like has changed, but I've been trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to avoid spoilers. So far, I've just been guessing and hoping nothing I've written/planned runs too contrary to the stuff revealed in Firefight. Edited January 28, 2015 by Aonar Faileas 1

So far, I've just been guessing and hoping nothing I've written/planned runs too contrary to the stuff revealed in Firefight. I had the same problem, so I canceled my order and bought the e-book instead. It does go against some of the stuff revealed about how the corruption works in Firefight, nothing major just enough that I could guess you hadn´t read the book yet. No story spoilers just about the mechanics. Your choice if you want to know, it´s minor enough that I don´t care about it (and probably no one else either), so you can just keep it and either ignore or don´t read this at all. What especially called my attention is the line "having not used his power for several days" It´s revealed that Epics feel an urge to use their powers, so once an Epic is corrupted they wouldn´t stop using their powers unless forced to do so. Several days might also not be enough to noticably weaken the corruption for an Epic like Frostfire. Sadly we have way to little data points to maka a proper call here.
Aonar he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Interesting. Okay. That's good to know. For the most part, there's nothing that contradicts what's actually been written so far (or at least, not badly enough to break WSoD), I'll just have to mess around a little with how I run his character. Thanks.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Big Al and Voidgaze need a date. A picnic, maybe. Certainly not all this death and destruction. Who's with me? 1
Kobold King he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Big Al and Voidgaze need a date. A picnic, maybe. Certainly not all this death and destruction. Who's with me? Count me in. If Backtrack gets to stare forlornly at them from afar, it may wind up as the most popular scene in the RP. 3
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 First Frostfire post is up! Reader is (for now, anyways) free from the pandas. What do you think? I like him a lot! Concerning the Ethan thing, It's not a huge deal. Edgerunner/Emma does a very similar thing. FIrefight has slightly contradicted it, but it's not a big part. New Nathan/Quota post up. I left it open for word to reach Altermind about the MEE attack while Funtimes is there, if that's what you were planning, and I left Quota's plans up in the air for now. Also, with Funtimes, I figured that when her drunkenness got out of control, Altermind would have Intervention sober her up a bit. If he wouldn't, or if he can't, let me know and I'll change it. Yeah, I'll have some guard radio Altermind in my next post, unless someone wants their TT Epic to do it? Edge? Sounds good. I'll mention that too. Apologies for the lack of detail in the Quota post, by the way. I've been under the weather these past few days, and a little more strapped for time than usual, having just found out the library where I intern wants me there every Monday AND Friday. Totally understandable. I still liked it though. I'm sending you a PM by the way. Count me in. If Backtrack gets to stare forlornly at them from afar, it may wind up as the most popular scene in the RP. Flashpoint will hover above at a distance watching jealously. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Flashpoint will hover above at a distance watching jealously. And I will refrain from Flashback shipping. 2
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 And I will refrain from Flashback shipping. Just hold on for Flashrunner. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Just hold on for Flashrunner. Which is why I'm going to resist Flashback shipping. Flashrunner is a million times more adorable. (That, and I'm pretty sure Backtrack would be too afraid of Flashpoint to introduce himself, much less date him. ) 2
