Voidus Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 If you can hate that then not only do you have no soul you actually have negative souls. 4
mail-mi he/him Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 And on top of all that he probably hates pugs. I love how a hatred of pugs has become a litmus test for whether or not a character is truly evil. I..I... ...don't like dogs very much. Also, here's my Mommy post. Should this work for everyone? “HEY LIGHTWARDS! GET YOUR OLD NECROMANTIC BUTT OUT HERE!” Mommy slapped her forehead. Stealth, you idiot! She cautiously climbed off of the platform of floating skulls and made way towards the museum. She’d visited Portland before Calamity, and had visited the museum once. It didn’t look nearly the same. Someone had turned the museum into a jungle. A full-fledged, tropical jungle. Mommy would have kept sightseeing, but she heard a gruff voice call out quietly: "You called me to you. You know my name and the power I call my own." Lightwards. Mommy ducked behind a tree and glimpsed out as Lightwards came up and spoke to Stitch. Stitch raised himself into the air, but that didn’t seem to impress Lightwards. Casually, he flicked a piece of blood off his jacket and it grew into an allosaur, eating Stitch right out of the air. An allosaur And suddenly Mommy knew how she could help. Looking intently at Lightwards’ clothes, she erased the dried blood from them, leaving them looking worn yet pristine. Mommy smiled to herself. She’d actually started to hel-- --sparks. What if that guy kills me too? Only Whittle was left alive inside. Who would say that the Epics on the underside of the museum weren’t dead too? Mommy could be one of the last two alive. My children need me! While Lightwards and the others were focused on Whittle, Mommy snuck out of the museum to hitch a ride on one of Yorrick’s skulls, but she didn’t see any skulls. What she saw instead made her heart jump into her throat. Diamonds. Hanging from the museum. Lucentia. The Queen of Mommy’s hometown. What was she doing here, in Portland? Why wasn’t she in Astoria? Maybe... Mommy thought. Maybe she was overthrown. Maybe someone else rules now. Someone who actually cares about the children. Maybe... Maybe Mommy needed to get home, and not to that high school. Maybe it was time to go back to Astoria. But first, she’d have to get off this museum. Mommy ducked into the shadow and stayed still. Maybe they wouldn’t notice her if she stayed quiet enough. She pressed her back against the wall of the museum and sunk to the floor, cleaning it up before she sat. It didn’t look like anyone was coming out or going in, so Mommy took the chance to make a call. She raised her radio to her mouth and set it on the general MEE frequency. “This is Mommy at the museum,” she whispered into the radio. “Stitch is dead, and Whittle’s about to be. I don’t know about the underside people, but I think they’re goners too. At least, Yorrick’s dead, seeing all these skulls littered on the floor. I’m dead too, if I can’t get out of here quick. Is Airplane still at the high school? Send him here. I need to get out. Over.” Mommy put her radio in her lap and took in a deep breath, and held it, staying as quiet as possible. She knew if she made even so much as a pebble bounce across the floor, she’d be a dead woman. Please, someone, come rescue me. And on the same note, I'm thinking of a more technical definition for Mommy's powers: Returning things to their perfect state, as long as it doesn't require a) manipulating any matter that is actually part of the object or moving things that are too big. 1

There's a difference between not liking and actively hating, I think. I don't like fish, but I don't hate them or want them gone. It looks good to me, but what were Airplane's powers again?

I like it. But I must warn you, as soon as he kills Whittle Lightwards will have the raptors search the jungle for more intruders. While Mommy can hide from an Epic, she won't be able to hide from dinosaurs that can sniff her out in ten seconds flat.
mail-mi he/him Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 There's a difference between not liking and actively hating, I think. I don't like fish, but I don't hate them or want them gone. It looks good to me, but what were Airplane's powers again? I just made up the name and decided that he could grow small airplane engines from his armpits and fly. I like it. But I must warn you, as soon as he kills Whittle Lightwards will have the raptors search the jungle for more intruders. While Mommy can hide from an Epic, she won't be able to hide from dinosaurs that can sniff her out in ten seconds flat. She's hiding outside, on the little landing my headcanon says exists. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 I just made up the name and decided that he could grow small airplane engines from his armpits and fly. For some reason, my headcanon is saying his Rending consisted mainly of him doing the chicken dance in the sky while saying "WHEEE!"

Comatose he/him Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Just rereading Nighthound's powerset. In the context of what we know about gifted powers (how its all or nothing) does this mean Nighthound could, if he chose, gift the power to create more "hounds" to people? On second thought, Domestication requires gifting, and since he only gifts the power itself (either enhanced reflexes or healing) and not the ability to re-gift, it makes sense that Domestication cannot chain. The danger of Nighthound creating an army has been averted. You're welcome. *Slinks away hoping that no one realizes he brought this up as a possibility in the first place.

Also since Good Guy Brandon said that gifting is a separate power and can't be gifted. So...crisis double averted. 2
18th Shard he/him Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I just realized something pretty cool - with Phoenix, even when he dies of old age, he will reincarnate (a few seconds younger as goes to 'a perfect state' where his body isn't dying). Hence, if he dies of old age, you could stick him in water and generate steam, giving you infinite power for no cost. 2

Kobold King he/him Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Actually, a WoB from this year's AMA said reincarnation/resurrection Epics can die of old age. You are simultaneously the reason we can't have nice things and the source of some of the nicest things in the RP, Twi.
Fatebreaker he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Okay, I'm kinda liking the idea of the Ballooner exploding most of the museum, as long as mommy escapes. I don't wanna kill anyone's characters without their go ahead. But the image of the the Ballooner conjuring hundreds of balloons full of Nitroglycerin and setting a bunch of super powerful Epics on the warpath is too good to pass up. I could have the Ballooner show up on the landing, give Mommy a Balloon that would allow her to fall slowly to safety, and go inside. Then he'd be captured or mortally wounded, explode the main museum hall, and and go out with a bang. Maybe he'd even kill a character or two

Maybe he'd even kill a character or two It would still result in the deaths of most of the MEE, as has been pointed out before. If everyone else is okay with that, I say go ahead; if not, you might want to think of another plan.

18th Shard he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I have my post for Phoenix's reincarnation and Jumpdrive's introduction ready to post. I believe there is a few things until nightfall in Corvallis, so I can't quite post it yet. In the case that I leave on vacation prior to when it should be posted, Comatose can post it (I've PM'd it). I leave next Thursday, so any other Phoenix/Jumpdrive POV will have to wait until the end of July.
Kobold King he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 How big would this explosion be? Would it be sufficient to bring down the Museum, or level the jungle therein? Would there be any way for the characters without PIs to survive? Not necessarily opposed, so long as characters aren't permanently killed in this blast I'd be content to have Lightwards die (and resurrect) in this assault--that could even be beneficial, as he'd be driven all the more to hunt down the MEE afterwards--but I'd rather not kill Aldo or Cricket at this time.
Fatebreaker he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 So it looks like this is gonna happen. Most of the MEE will die, but I'm sure Voidus can replace them all in a heart beat by simply opening up to a few random encyclopedia pages for inspiration. The next issue to address is characters in the museum. Who all is there, who do you want to survive,who are we okay with killing off, and how will people survive this? Glad that Mommy has a ride. It occurred to me that she could still die by getting hit with chunks of falling museum, so slowly floating down is probably not the best option. also, Edge, I don't think MEE was planning on including the Mad Ballooner on the attack. Imagine him trying to convince Zip or Refill "So what is it you can do again?" "I can make Balloons vit mine mind!" ... "Unt mine friend can kontrol tape!" ... "Yeah, I think we'll go with yorrick on this one." 2

I'm not opposed to it, but I'd rather wait to give the all-clear until Edge, Voidus, and anyone else with a character in the Museum has a chance to comment.
Voidus Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Well the characters in the MEE are easy enough to replace, I have hundreds of Epics lined up but I made it because it provided a handy source of canon fodder for interesting fights where player characters didn't have to die so unless we're moving onto the final great battle of Portland anytime soon I don't know if I want to demolish the MEE yet.
Kobold King he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I wouldn't say it looks like it's going to happen just yet. I'm not opposed to it, but I'd rather wait to give the all-clear until Edge, Voidus, and anyone else with a character in the Museum has a chance to comment. I agree with the GRRMoZCS&S. This is a pretty big deal, and all relevant parties should get a voice. For my part, Aldo and Cricket are both quite squishy, but depending on their distance from the blast Aldo might be able to figure out a way to keep them alive.
Fatebreaker he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Sounds good. I won't destroy a main story location without everyone's go ahead. I was thinking the explosion was powerful enough to at least tear a large chunk out of the museum, or maybe bring it down. Nitroglycerin is pretty potent stuff, and I do love me some explosions. And since the Mad Ballooner will be dying, it'll be he biggest effort yet. I'm sure we can figure out solutions for folks to survive. Fade and Sandman could grab people and get them out alive. Sandman can teleport up to two people, and Fade could use is power to make someone nonexistent, thus making them immune to the explosion. PLus it'd give me a chance to write for their characters.
mail-mi he/him Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Potential solution: Have the balloons just hit the roof, so that the roof explodes and rains destruction down on the jungle, killing Lightwards once but everyone else manages to avoid the debris/heal, and the museum stays floating? I'm going to add Mommy escaping w/ Airplane to my Mommy post, just so that that's all done in one post.
Blackhoof Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I was thinking it'd be the stronger sort, but as edge points out it'd just eat through the balloon. Maybe a balloon with weaker acid, then one with gasoline? They are rather large balloons full of liquid, so they'd be pretty heavy. The impact alone from a substantial height would be painful enough in it's own right. And I always say that any acid is potent when it's in your eyes. what a disturbing thing to always say
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 what a disturbing thing to always say It...doesn't seem like there should be many occasions to say that. Right? Right?
