Edgedancer he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I just kind of felt like writing it as an exercise but I may do more 'A day in the life of...'s in the future. Is this the start of the "the life of a minor Epic" side project or will other people jump on board? By the way you might want to put this into the fanfic section, so it doesn't get lost. Now the biggest question, how would Obliteration react to Obliteration standing behind him, holding a sword?

Well they won't manage to do it before BoardJumper who holds the power of always knowing what will be trending in advance
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Well they won't manage to do it before BoardJumper who holds the power of always knowing what will be trending in advance I wonder, what does a day in the life of BoardJumper look like? 1
Voidus Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Dear reader, welcome to the daily journal of the mighty BoardJumper, the one who was actual cannibal shia labeouf before it was cool. Today I jumped on a board. Turns out it was actually just a three story drop that stupid illusionist BoardMaker made look like a board.I broke 2 ribs.Curse you BoardMaker!

Voidus Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 BoardJumper's Rending involved no murder but was also more horrible than you could possibly imagine. If I ever canonized it I'm sure he'd earn an instant 5 or 6 places on the ATTD list. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Metronome is best Epic. Now to arrange a coffee date between Obliteration and Nighthound. (And am I the only one wondering if Ray's Bible reference would be from the Song of Songs? ) 2

(And am I the only one wondering if Ray's Bible reference would be from the Song of Songs? ) But because of his generous nature he lets others take the spotlight. Absolutely, call me once you get Obliteration's number. (...Are you implying she would try to seduce him with her twin gazelles? ) 1

Absolutely, call me once you get Obliteration's number. (...Are you implying she would try to seduce him with her twin gazelles? ) He's so forgiving. I'll keep looking. (I just flipped through that book to see what would be the funniest for her to shout at him. I like to think she shouts "Song of Songs 3:6!" as he appears, causing momentary confusion but soon turning the entire scene into a romantic comedy. With Bible verses. And dead Nighthound.)

"Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant?" And thus this heart rending love story started. I can get behind this. (So is Obliteration two timing Sam's mother or did we just jump ship?) 3

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Is this eventually going to end in a universe where Ray is Sam's mother and Nighthound dead? You just spoiled the twist ending. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 You just spoiled the twist ending. I'm pretty sure that the real twist is the identity of her father, if you get my drift.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 I'm pretty sure that the real twist is the identity of her father, if you get my drift. Lightwards is going to have a hell of a time if Sam inherits Pappy's powers. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Alright guys, Twi, Kobold and anyone else that pays a visit and hasn't answered the question yet, how would your characters react to sworld wielding Obliteration standing behind them? (and would Funtimes survive putting glitter on him? )
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Alright guys, Twi, Kobold and anyone else that pays a visit and hasn't answered the question yet, how would your characters react to sworld wielding Obliteration standing behind them? (and would Funtimes survive putting glitter on him? ) By teleporting away. Very, very quickly.
Kobold King he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Alright guys, Twi, Kobold and anyone else that pays a visit and hasn't answered the question yet, how would your characters react to sworld wielding Obliteration standing behind them? (and would Funtimes survive putting glitter on him? ) Lightwards: Shock, followed by rage at being threatened, followed by either trying to placate him with a false crocodile-smile or foolishly trying to kill him with a pack of dinosaurs. In all likelihood, either course of action would result in his dying a lot of times. Also, there's a not 0% chance of Obliteration setting off his weakness. We won't know until we get an official PoV from him. Sam and Revolution: Shock at seeing him in Portland, followed by fear and a quiet attempt at sneaking away. Even those two know the limits of what they can get away with, and Obliteration is not an Epic Funtimes could protect them from. Aldo: Shock, followed by a determinedly casual and friendly attempt at sucking up to him. Would result in one roasted magician, extra crispy. Chicago Joe: A drunken hiccup, followed by pretending to be a drunken hobo statue and hoping Obliteration wouldn't notice the statue was shouting obscenities five seconds ago. Vondra: Shock, followed by seeking cover and consulting with Redlight if possible. He'd order the City Guard to concentrate fire on him wherever he goes, hoping that eventually he'd get tired of having his PI activated and would look for an easier target. If they allowed Obliteration any time at all between teleports, half the town would wind up dead. Deathwish, ironically, would stand the best chance of not only surviving but winning a fight against Obliteration. He'd immediately start a fight and try to goad Obliteration into roasting him at full power, which unless we invoked Plot Armor, would probably cause Obliteration to inadvertently kill himself. Every woman in The Dalles would hear about "That time I saved all of your fine butts" for years and years. Backtrack: Shock, followed by becoming paler than a snowflake, followed by a whimper that would make most bystanders think an asthmatic wallaby had just choked to death. He'd try running away, only to slam face-first against a wall, where he would cower into the sidewalk and start bawling. Obliteration would give a quote from the Book of Lamentations, and then Backtrack would sob himself into the big 7-11 in the sky. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Funtimes: Teleport away. She might try adding a little glitter to his coat, but she knows Obliteration is one Epic she wouldn't really stand a chance against. Nathan: Go with Funtimes. Remington: Make sure Obliteration found Lightwards, then go with Funtimes. Koschei: Try to strike an alliance with him, and when that failed, fight. Not a smart idea, but his pride wouldn't let him turn it down. Quota: Offer to serve him and, if his offer was refused, try and fail to reduce Obliteration to a sobbing mess and get roasted for his trouble. Autumn: Evacuate the city. Fast.

Edgedancer he/him Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Seems about right. For the Deathwish thing, I have a similair situation with Mary. The question is wheter or not his danger sense would be smart enough to tell what would happen and abort the attack by emergency teleporting. Then again most Epic that have a way of surviving his heat manipulation should be acle to choke him, which naturally wouldn't be a lot of Epics.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Here's another question: If your characters went to Hogwarts, what Houses would they be sorted into and why? (For reference purposes, I'd be a Slytherin for one simple reason. You know how the rules say "you may bring a cat OR a rat OR an owl"? I'd bring a pug. And when McGonagall quoted the rules at me, I'd say "Screw you. Neville has a toad. My pug can beat up his toad. Well, theoretically. Point is, the rules are stupid and my pug stays.") 2

I'll be honest, while I have read tge books (or had my father read them to me for the first ones) I don't really thing the house system has enough depth for fitting all characters. So all I know is that half of my characters would end up in Slytherin, because Slytherin = bad guys. Twi, why are you a bad guy. 1
