TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 I liked the Euphoria post. The knowledge thing was a thing I noticed, yes, but I've really enjoyed her flashbacks. On a similar note, did you have any notes on what Vancouver was like under Radiance? Funtimes lived there for a while, and I'd wanted to keep her Vancouver flashbacks within what your imagined there.

On a similar note, did you have any notes on what Vancouver was like under Radiance? Funtimes lived there for a while, and I'd wanted to keep her Vancouver flashbacks within what your imagined there. Thanks! Feel free to run with things, but what I originally imagined was that Radiance played favorites, so people (including Vanillas) who she liked led comfortable lives, and people who she didn't care about would range form generally oppressed with few freedoms, to down-right awful. The main purpose of her regime was to benefit her, so she forced people to work so that she and the people she favored could benefit from their work, but as long as she got what she wanted, I think she pretty much let people do as they wished. So basically, if you weren't in her favored circle, you'd be forced to work, and might have your movement in and out of the city restricted, but as long as you got your job done, and kept your head down, you could do what you want with your free time. On the other hand, resources were probably limited, so a lot of free time would likely be spent trying to provide for basic necessities. I can world build more if you like, but you are free to as well. This was my general impression of what Vancouver was like. Since I was thinking from Brandon's point of view (and he was one of Radiance's chosen) I didn't really go into depth with what life would be like outside of that circle.

Since she favored people based on physical beauty, what would you think of the Epics in her regime valuing different types of beauty? For instance, there would be some Epics who also valued physical beauty, but since Radiance took all the gorgeous people, they'd be forced to settle for "cute" or "not entirely unattractive." But then there would be more sadistic ones who saw suffering or personal tragedy as beautiful, and mistreated their servants accordingly. 1

The post doesn't flow quite as well as it did before, but that's likely just a product of me adding things in here and there, or just me adjusting to the changes. It should be more accurate though, both in Euphoria's knowledge of epics and weaknesses, and in the plausibility of Insight's escape. Let me know if there are still any problems!
Voidus Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I swear I'll finish reading that post soon, I just keep getting distracted by Epic ideas Also sparkly things.As some people may have guessed I've been sick for a few days and mildly drugged up. 1

As some people may have guessed I've been sick for a few days and mildly drugged up. So should we hope you get better soon...or encourage you to write a post introducing Metronome to TooMuchOxy before the meds wear off? (I really do hope you get better soon, Voidus. Being sick is no fun.) 1

Comatose he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Take your time! I'm still behind in Salem, so it's fine. I'll try to get up the morning post, and start the next day in Corvallis tomorrow. I'm thinking Day 2 will be much more self-directed, so characters can go about their own business, instead of having big central events like we had in Day 1.
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I remember the last time Voidus was drugged up... I hope his elbow is okay.

Edgedancer he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Say Kobold, how does it come that you do not have a Kobold themed Epic? I can neither confirm nor deny ruomours of my elbows well being or chicken-ness. In that case I'll just make my own assumptions. Why are you partially made from cheese? 1

Why are you partially made from cheese? He does use raptors. Those are mildly similar, just slightly less intelligent (and don't worship Dragons...).

I like to think that even if Wes can't speak he's still smarter than Lightwards. (and I'm sure we can do something about the dragons. ) 2

Voidus Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) The conclusion of the Amputee's day: Resting my shotgun back on it's shelf underneath the counter, I began pulling the body of the Tangerine crusader into the back of the shop where I kept a few of my clones whose clothing had proven itself a good seller. After taking the two clones back as well I brought out my mop and began to clean up the pool of blood. Mr. Jonas from the furniture store adjacent kindly offered to help with the mess, one of the only shop owners who helped me, though they all pulled in when any of the other shops had been attacked by Epics. Thanking him as he set about sweeping up the broken wall I set about cleaning up the knocked over displays and the many boxes of tutus before calling the local disaster-repair store. They'd marketed themselves as experts in Epic-damage repair and had certainly done a good enough job that time all of my light fixtures had been transmuted into custard."John? Yeah it's Amp, broken wall this time, bout the same as that time the Great Mosquito flew into it."A few grumbled sentences from the other end of the line and I'd settled on an afternoon appointment to fix with payment due up front.Sighing, I emptied out the register, looked like it was another day with nothing to eat but those hats made of nachos.Hoping I at least might be able to salvage my pie I asked Jonas to look after the shop as I sprinted back to the cafe only to find that my group of vengeful teenagers were happily spreading pictures of my fight with the Tangerine Crusader around the cafe while one of them finished off my pie.Deciding to slink back to the shop rather than risk being humiliated even further, I encountered the repair team already evaluating the damage. After some negotiation I managed to reach a price I could just afford and still be able to buy some water at least for the night.Heading home early I bought some water from the local seller and settled in for a night of water, nachos and crying only to find that the clone with the nacho hat had disintegrated while I was working.As I sat in my chair and tried to cry myself to an early sleep one of my tears picked up an eyelash on its way down, the clone that formed nearly broke my nose of course.Because my day wouldn't be complete without me breaking something would it? After shoving the clone off I habitually checked to see if there was anything that might at least sell, not expecting much.Bedecked in thigh high stockings and a diaper, the clone had no shirt on at all but was remarkably wearing one of those hats with the straws in them that beer-guzzling dads used to take to baseball games. On each side of the hat rested a frosty cold can of coke.The cans may have been a horrendous shade of pink but it looked like for a few days I had access to limitless soft drink.I guess sometimes my power isn't all bad.My name is the Amputee and this was the best day I've had all year.

(and I'm sure we can do something about the dragons. ) I share a similar headcanon, but with the addition that were Wes allowed full autonomy, he would learn to communicate with humans and usher in a golden age of beauty and understanding. But vegetarianism would be outlawed. And so would funny hats. Edited July 7, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Why the hats if they are so funny? Does Wes not like Team Fortress 2? I was thinking Lightwards' hat gave him PTSD....but perhaps he could be persuaded that's he necromancer was a stain on the good name of funny hats. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 We do not talk about Lightwards anymore but his hat is allowed to stay. Excellent point. Especially if we gave Wes the hat as a symbol of his leadership. Would this make Aldo the royal consort? Indeed it would. 1

There's the soul of a poet beneath that scaly exterior, and he only needs the right advice to realize his destiny in life. Edited July 7, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 1

Can we then give him wings and a horn and declare him the Princess of Harmony? 1
