Edgedancer he/him Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 It's not a word English stole (I'm as surprised as you are ) but it sounds like a cross between "ankle" and the suffix "—age," so "anklage" makes me think of someone showing a lot of ankle. "You are showing a LOT of anklage there, Scribbler," Arsenal said with a scowl. "Wear knee socks or spend the next two nights in the stock room." ….I shouldn't ponder linguistics when I'm tired. Nukes, or a greasy cheeseburger? Well, I can take my pug with me to get a greasy cheeseburger and he'll be super excited about it, while a nuke….yeah, no contest there. McDonald's wins. Hands down. Interesting analasis And they are much better than the english killing parasites. Would this be enough justification for Scribbler to get Arsenal fired on sexual harassment charges? Actually given that the Dalles still lets Deathwish wander around I'm guessing I already know the answer to that. Maybe he would head of to get a proper christian reeducation.
Blackhoof Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Cornucopia would probably not be a huge fan of Drainer either but she doesn't really interact with Epics other than the queens enough to have too strong an opinion. I just always pronounce it At-row-fee personally Atrophy sees Drainer's obvious lust for his servants like a very judgemental person would see someone who had a lust for dogs. Vile. She can use any more natural plants nearby to help so basically she just walks along in a row dropping items according to a list and nearby roots bury the items for her, but once the first one's grown she can just make them spread without needing to plant a bunch more so yeah it's pretty time-consuming but she hasn't needed to plant every crop in the city by hand. ah cool, that clears it up for me.
Comatose he/him Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Just as a sort of general curiosity, Cornucopia would spend a decent part of many days getting these crops going, wouldn't she? I assume she doesn't have to physically plant each item? That would be far too time-consuming. She'd have to plant the first of a type of items though, whenever the city need it.

Keep in mind, she would also have help from field workers to do a lot of the grunt labour. She would just need to do whatever she needs to do to activate her powers, so she could move more quickly than she could if she was doing everything herself. Aaand, I'm up late because I forgot that tea had caffeine and drank four cups after nine o clock. Wish me luck getting to sleep!

Although, I'm pretty sure she'd still have something to do during the planting process, for it to count. 2
Comatose he/him Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Alright, Cornucopia, spam that vine whip. Although, I'm pretty sure she'd still have something to do during the planting process, for it to count. That's exactly what I meant. She'd just have less required of her, and could likely do whatever she needs to do faster, in relative comfort. This isn't canon, but now I'm picturing Cornucopia being carried on a litter by vanillas, picking up stuff to plant with one of those grabber things that people who have difficult bending over use, and then dropping it into holes that other vanillas have dug and will cover up. Even better, to work in the vine whip idea, she uses beansprouts (long, flexible, fast growing), which she carries with her in her litter, to both pick up and plant objects, while also using them to whip her vanillas if the get complacent. EDIT: Also, in case anyone was wondering, I'm feeling mostly okay this morning. Hopefully I don't crash! 2

mail-mi he/him Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Pretty much none of them are originally english But hey at least we stole from a bunch of different languages, german, latin, french, it's equal opportunity language theft at least Accidental downvote!

This is highly likely I should really do some Cornucopia character building she's probably got the least backstory of any of my characters.

We just need an enthusiastic Shiny with some leverage over Cornucopia. Edited October 8, 2015 by Voidus 1
Kobold King he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Happy Birthday, Mailliw. * gasp * It's the anniversary of Mailliw's birth? Post coming soon, hopefully. I know I said that before recently, but I got sidetracked by The Martian and Shadows of Self. (Both incredimazible reads. )
Mailliw73 he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks, guys! I need to finish Alloy, read Shadows, and I need to read the Martian. I think I'm going to see it this Saturday, and I've heard the movie was amazing.
Voidus Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just finished Shadows too, it was a great read, a few interesting cosmeric tidbits in it.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 I had no idea! Happy birthday!
Voidus Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just an aside, is it snowing in the us yet? And if so then can you ship some here? It's like 35C here already and my brain is melting. 1

It's like 35C here already and my brain is melting. In most of the lower 48 (continental US excluding Alaska) it doesn't start snowing until late November or early December. Though I recall one awful Halloween in Wyoming where it sleeted (snow that melts once it hits the ground, so it's like really cold rain) all night and I had to wear a coat over my fairy costume. I've heard it snows earlier in northern Alaska, though.

It's barely even spring and I already want to rip all my skin off and hope that cools me down somehow.

Funtimes is from Alaska and I can confirm she visited the far northern settlements like Barrow and Prudhoe Bay on more than one occasion. It's weird to think that you're just heading into spring. It's fall here and Arizona has FINALLY begun cooking off.
Edgedancer he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 This is somewhat less likely. Not impossible though. We just need an enthusiastic Shiny with some leverage over Cornucopia. Who knew that Shiny was ever going to be such a major problem solver for us.

Thinking about it some more, that character building would probably help with Shiny getting her in that Bulbasaur cosplay... no I will not stop until all characters wear the fancy clothing I want them to wear. Sam was only the beginning!

Kobold King he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 What were you envisioning for Autumn? I don't know about him, but I keep imagining her in a flannel shirt for some reason.
Edgedancer he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 What were you envisioning for Autumn? Well I rejected Shiny's idea of an Eva styled costume utilizing autumn leaves, so I instead concentrated on an dress once she finally became Winter Galss, totally an Epic, utilizing a snowflake motive as well as a long train designed to be held up by localized whirlwinds. 2

Edgedancer he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Hmmmm.... ....I like it. Another job well done. Now we only need to turn her into an Epic... all to further the destruction of Oregon of course... I would never sidetrack the game to play dress up. 2
