Question 14

[Kobold King he/him]

Yeah she'll be pretty unconscious as soon as possible.

Yes she does, interposed with an occasional 'not like I like him or anything'

 

Then good night, MV. Dream sweet dreams of Senpai noticing you.

I can get Lightwards wrapped up in just one more post, I think. Though I'll need to consul with Twi a little bit on what the Unicyclist will spend the night doing--he didn't really get involved in the fight like I expected him to.

It's kind of hard to get involved in a fight when Nighthound just shattered your kneecaps.

If Lightwards orders him to, he'll assist in guarding the museum for the night. He might want to post a few other guards, in case he tries for a sabotage--or he could tie him up with his mask removed until morning. Your call.

Did you want to post that collab, or relate the info in conversation and exposition? I'm good either way.

I'll go for tying him up. Lightwards feels the pressing need to assert his dominance right now.

 

I'm fine with either. You're the boss.

[Mckeedee123 he/him]

Perhaps the ponies and the pugs just became.... Too much for [illuminati.]

 

I think he left about the same time that Kobold started chiding him (pretty nicely) on the Sanderson Memes thread. It's possible that he felt sort of unwelcome after that.

 

From what I've seen, most of us actually do have some sort of experience with Pokemon, so I don't think that's too big of a problem. 

 

(I went to a family reunion Wednesday last week, and I still haven't gotten my laptop back from being repaired [it was having some weird problems] and the family whose house I'm staying at has 1 computer, 8 kids who want to use that computer that I don't want to impose on, and a pretty stringent internet filter, all of which limit my access to this subforum considerably.  That's why I haven't been around. I guess Maill was the only person who needed me, though.)

 

In the meantime, I've been playing lots of Axis and Allies and made some nice string art, I guess.

In the interest of finishing up this day, then, I vote we simply reference that material and work to engineer another chance for Vanilla Sabotage to get to know each other.

Better than #FirstWorldProblems.  

 

I posted last, so you go next.

Either way, Weird Al should do a song about it.

I don't know what to write. Just give a general summary of their conversation, ending with Funtimes entering the cottage?

You can end anywhere you want, really—with Funtimes entering the cottage, or with Sam and Revolution going to bed before she gets back, if you'd rather. I was just going to do a quick summary for Nathan and end with Funtimes returning to find him already in his pajamas, then with Protector Pug deciding the floor just won't do it for her.

How about #BacktrackProblems?

Also Kobold would Vondra get someone to escort Shiny to her room or how would he do that?

[Mailliw73 he/him]

How many characters are left for Portland before morning? It's been a few months since I got to write PP

I've got an Altermind dream scene written up, but I'm waiting to finish a Flashpoint one before I post it, but they aren't important. I'll just throw them up here when they're done. It can happen in the morning if it needs to.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

And if you wanted me to write something for the cottage first, Kobold, I could do that.

Comatose and other Corvallis RPers: Some questions I had considered regarding Corvallis:

 

1)would there be some sort of daily newspaper equivalent, written, published and distributed by Blossom's department? Not necessarily pure propaganda (all the time) but just a small local newspaper to let all the Epics (and perhaps more important vanillas) know about daily goings-on, events, parties, in the area, new arrivals, that sort of thing. I was going to have Atrophy reading it but I didn't want to just invent something like that without asking

 

2) what become of children in Corvallis? are they housed separately? are they educated in the Corvallis schools? are parents allowed to frequently visit them? Were they denied that right, and now without happiness to mollify them they are pissed off that they are not allowed access to their kids?

 

3) given the large number of houses/buildings in Corvallis, and the fact that there are not enough Epics to fill them all, would it be logical that more powerful Epics are given several houses across the city that they alternate between, or even multiple adjacent houses that they combine into a single "compound"? Even if Corvallis has 2x or 3x the number of Epics I picture in my headcanon and the pertinent stats post, there are a lot more houses than them, but a fair margin (according to Wikipedia it has 22'000 households). I'm just thinking that they have such a large surplus of houses, strictly one per Epic seems a bit stingy for Rainmaker

[Mestiv he/him]

Now, I can't shake of the impression that Atropy is just a reincarnation of Ahmed the dead terrorist... His boney description and all

Well, I'm not Comatose, and he should have final say in these, but I'll offer my input.

1) There could be a newspaper like that, but in the technology era that the Fractured States is in, given that the town has stability and electricity, radio or television would likely be more efficient. Papers and the like would require distribution, which can cause a major hassle when you consider all of Corvallis and Philomath, as well as parts of Tangent and Albany, need to receive the paper. But OSU has its own radio station, which I assume, like my university, is broadcast from campus, meaning they have a radio tower. Radio programs would then be more likely to be used.

 

Of course, radio doesn't employ as many vanillas/Epics, so the paper option might be used simply to give people menial tasks every day.

 

With that said, I do not think there would be any kind of news for vanillas. Remember that the normal day to day in Corvallis involves the vanillas living their lives in an ocean of false happiness. Why would they need news? They merely need to be happy while they serve their Epics 24/7.

 

 

2) I was under the assumption that children were included in Corvallis, and we just haven't mentioned them because most of the time when we do mention vanillas, we kill them, and killing children always gives people mixed or bad feelings. At least, that's why I've steered clear.

 

As for education, I think the first question is: Is there education in the Fractured States? Our timeline puts the RP much closer to the dawn of Epics than Steelheart, but we are far enough away to have lost the government. Would the education infrastructure have been salvaged in a place like Corvallis? That's dependant on when Rainmaker came, how quickly the Queens and all of Corvallis got set up, etc. Comatose will have to answer that one. If education is a thing, I'd say that Corvallis would actively enroll children, as it keeps them busy, and employs teachers.

 

3) I'm not sure if they would be given more than one house. Remember that the 40,000 vanillas you estimate also need housing, and Rainmaker would want to have plenty of housing for future Epics and vanillas. I can definitely see the Queens each having more than one place of living, and perhaps the Epics working for the government get extra housing, but I'm not so sure every Epic would get more than one place to live.

Blaze one thing.

This is wrong. We are about 2 year before Steelheart I think, so the dawn of Epics has almost been a decade before.

Really? I could have sworn our timeline was 2 or 3 years after Epics, not 2 or 3 before Steelheart. Ah well, I editted the post. Thanks.

That's not the most up to date verstion of the timeline though. I remember shifting some dates concerning Astoria around.

Vanillas do take up houses too, however, when writing Summer's first post, I figured that they are forced to live together, to save up housing costs. I agree with Blaze, that most of the Epics should have only one house.

[Kobold King he/him]

How about #BacktrackProblems?

Also Kobold would Vondra get someone to escort Shiny to her room or how would he do that?

 

That hashtag would drown the whole Question thread. 90% of #OregonProblems are #BacktrackProblems.

 

Yes. He'd gesture some guards to escort her to her new quarters, and to do so as politely as possible.

 

And if you wanted me to write something for the cottage first, Kobold, I could do that.

 

 

I don't mind writing the summary. But could I send it to you first when it's written, to get your stamp of approval? Or condemnation...?

 

 

That's not the most up to date verstion of the timeline though. I remember shifting some dates concerning Astoria around.

 

Really? I think I remember that. If you have your revised timeline still, would you mind updating the wiki timeline real quick, just to avoid confusion?
