Edgedancer he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Is she the one he called a glittermancer? And his nickname for Khione is "Snowcone Lady;" whether it counts as foreshadowing is yet to be seen. I can't actually find him using the term but that sounds more like something one would call Shiny Sparkle. For my first Margaret post (in case you had forgotten she is the old woman who is a badchull Epic DNA thief), whose Epic's DNA should she steal? Should I just do an NPC Epic or does anyone want one of theirs? This is Astoria. Didn't we talk about her not being able to go unnoticed in Astoria? (Plus, we don't really know how much DNA is needed to make tech.)
Newan he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Didn't we talk about her not being able to go unnoticed in Astoria? (Plus, we don't really know how much DNA is needed to make tech.) Didn't we see a DNA transaction Steelheart? It's been a while since I read it, but I thought they sold some of Fortuity's DNA to that arms dealer guy.

It's been a while since I read it, but I thought they sold some of Fortuity's DNA to that arms dealer guy. Explicitly not Fortuity but yeah they traded him some DNA and it didn't seem as though it were an unnecessarily large amount. On Bloody Mary, I can buy her being aware of most of the major action in the city but i don't know about the stealthy actions of one woman. She'd have to be listening in at the exact right place at the exact right time and it just doesn't seem particularly probable given that she has an entire city to monitor for threats. Theoretically there's the risk of detection but it's the same kind of thing as Regalia, she can't be watching everywhere all the time.

Theoretically there's the risk of detection but it's the same kind of thing as Regalia, she can't be watching everywhere all the time. I wasn't talking about the trade itself, I was talking about the idea of her having acces to tech made from the Epics she harvested and if the amount they traded Diamond is enough for a Motivator than a certain plot-point in Firefight doesn't really make sense. Couple of points 1)There's a difference to Regalia though, her power works with people, so every new person that gets noticed is registered as such, meaning she can do a cheack-up on them rather easily. An old lady traveling through the wasteland between cities herself is already a sight to raise an eyebrow and she needs some kind of cryo equipment to store her harvest, which is not something you would want to be found with. 2)Should my memory serve right what was interesting about the cells were the (not damaged) mitochondria, so it's not as easy as plucking out a strand of hair. Getting close enough to one Epic may be possible without raising suspicion but do that with multiple and people may wonder who that old lady is that should be pretty much useles to the Epics. 3)Any amount of blood on the cells she gathered and Mary has essentially a beacon that points exactly to her. 4)She got the cells and then what? She can't sell them in the city and leaving the city is just putting a giant spotlight on her. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Backtrack is capable of seeing into the past, and with such a power, I fully expect him to know that rock music was invented not by Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry in the 50s and 60s, but by Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the 1930s and 40s. This gospel singer was wailing on an electric guitar and belting out lyrics back when the "inventors" of those rock 'n' roll mainstays were still learning to talk. Also, she looked like this: That she hasn't made it into the Hall of Fame is as big a travesty as Ant-Man getting a movie before Fantomah. Bring her justice, Backtrack. Right this terrible wrong. 3

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Rereading the latest Blackwave post, you know what the worst part about that is? Pirates didn't wear eyepatches because they'd lost an eye. When moving from the deck to the hold, especially in a battle situation, the biggest danger is not being able to see where you're going. Candles and lanterns could provide light, but in a battle, it's not guaranteed that you'll have the time to light one—not to mention the danger of fire should you be knocked off your feet and drop the lantern or candle. With this in mind, pirates would wear eyepatches so one eye would already be adjusted to darkness; and when they entered the hold, they would simply switch sides on the eyepatch, further ensuring that when they went back above, they would have already begun the process of adjusting one eye to the darkness. Blackwave, therefore, is a colossal slontze for using a gross misinterpretation of historical fact in order to satisfy his morbid tastes. He's also a colossal slontze for—you know—everything else. 6

Timeport's probably never read the Bible all the way through, Lightwards doesn't understand ecology half as well as he thinks he does, Fortuity probably doesn't know more about "extospicy" than he learned from a dictionary entry about it, and Blackwave is less qualified to talk about pirate history than Johnny Depp. Edited February 24, 2015 by Kobold King 3
