New Neverthere post up.
Someone pass the brain bleach please. 

I'll save the brain bleach until after Quota releases his grip on my account, so I can remember to upvote it.

One clarification - Converter is outside the city now.  Gelliton air-proofed her prison, and then  Converter suffocated and reincarnated outside the Bubble.

two clarifications- Iconoclast has found a new house and gone to sleep, his ally tagging along, since he recruited her.

Thank you!

true, but I figure that she loses tags from normal deaths here and there constantly. Epics killing their servants, people dying from normal methods. And in this period of chaos, the level of tag-losses would jump way up.
It can still help narrow things down, but I think only if the ghouls are being hidden. If they are out in the open they will be noticed very quickly anyway and at best you get a few minutes faster response time. Its a worthwhile strategy to try, anyway.

True, but at the moment her role is quite minor among the Queens. If she suddenly becomes their primary method for taking down one of the greater threats to Corvallis security, she will freak out. Even if it doesn't trigger her weakness, her paranoia about it (and about becoming a target) might just get her to run away, or hide her usefulness. Her characterisation so far has been nothing if not that of a maximum scaredy-cat who runs at the first sign of trouble, danger or importance.

That said, she is already established as having fought ghouls using her powers before, during the attacks.

I don't believe the current situation of the city would cause the number of vanilla deaths to increase on a large scale. Though there ought to be a general state of panic, it's not like people are running around the streets in riot. The city is continuing as normal until some event occurs that changes that status quo, such as a ghoul attack. This has been shown through a number of posts, mine and yours included. That said, I agree that it's not a fool proof plan.

I would argue she's not the primary method of taking down Iconoclast, she's merely being used as a means to help find him. She'd also never be in direct danger, as she can perform these tasks from the security of any of her secret hideouts. Of course, I don't think I know Chase well enough to speak towards how she'd react to any of this, that's all up to Winter.

I have more bad puns/jokes. I expect many upvotes. 

I have discovered a very easy way to make money. First, you buy 50 female pigs. Then, you get 50 male deer. Then you put them together. In the end, you have 100 sows and bucks.

A long time ago, there was a wild cat. This cat was killed by a hunter, who used a shotgun. Unfortunately, he literally blew off the front half of the cat. So he bronzed the butt and put it on a trophy stand. On his way home the next day, however, he died in a car crash. Thus, came the first cat-as-trophy

Does being silent mean you have to listen? Or does listening mean you must be silent?

Stifle is a strange word. It's an anagram of itself.

Any plans for Abaddon Voidus?

What did happen to Kobold? Why can't you tell? Is it because you don't know, because the way you say it, it seems like you know but won't tell.

I do not have any insider knowledge.

Hope he is ok. Hopefully its just regular life stuff getting in the way.

Ok, I want to join this but don't really know where to start. I'd like to make an Epic that has electricity-themed powers, but I haven't come up with a name yet. Anyone have any good ideas?

EDIT: Name= Static Burn? Able to interfere with electronics and shoot lightning from fingertips?

Well, the two big options are you making the character and then we look where he fits or you get yourself some idea of the locations and then design your character for the location in mind.

If I may, talking about electrizity Epics, we do have two up for adoption in Portland, iy you're interested. It's honestly a great help to us for keeping down the number of abandoned characters after players leave. You know, if you're interested.

... I just realized Koschei is rather similar, in name, to Koschek.

Koschei reincarnated as a cat, confirmed?

Actually, long before you introduced us to Night Vale, we already made jokes about Koschei reincarnating as a cat. Said cat is currently in the same room with Lyla.

Well, that's why I'm saying confirmed, rather than a theory.

CLEARLY SHE HAS BEEN DRAWN TO THIS ROOM BY DESTINY, AND NOT RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT.

Feel free to have a certain feline help her befriend Scribbler in the next post.

Fun fact, being turned into a cat or pug makes even the most vile villain a nice guy.

Ok, I'll do that. That's the Epic adoption thread, right?

Actually no, the player left rather recently, so we didn't get around to listing them there yet. The two ePics are Flashpoint

Spoiler

Primary Power: Electricity shooting. Flashpoint can shoot off small electric burst ps from his fingers. It can power small devices for short periods of time or shock people. The strongest it can be is enough to cause someone to almost blackout.

Seconday Power: Flying. Flashpint can fly up to 150 mph and can fly up to around 1,000 feet in the air.

who is the second in command of Altermind, one of the faction leads in Portland that wants to gather all the smart people, Flashpoint himself is on the nicer side as far as Epics go.
The other is Electro

Spoiler

Primary Power: Power Cutter. He can create highly focused electricity that allows him to cut through objects and people.

Secondary Power: Scrambler. He can scramble the electrons in people's minds causing them to be disoriented and confused for short periods of time. He has to be within ten feet of someone to Scramble them. He can do it from farther away if they are connected by metal or water.

Passive Power: Electric Field. There is a small electric field always surrounding his body. If someone touches Electro, they receive a medium-sized shock; enough to hurt them a bit and cause their hair to stick up. Soft materials (such as: paper, fabric, or thin wood) vaporize when they hit the field. Electro can allow some materials not to be vaporized. Eg: his clothes or paper he is writing on. The field is electromagnetic. Electro can choose to make the field repel or attract metal. The field's size flares out when Electro experiences strong emotion.

a rather nasty and violent Epic working for Corpsemaker, another Portland faction leader that's more of the basic gang leader badchull type.

Thanks for your interest.

Ok, I think I'll go with Electro. What's going on in Portland, exactly?

[Edgedancer he/him]

A basic overview: There's currently going on a war between Thoughttown, the faction lead by the aforementioned Altermind, the Empire of Light, also known as the Whacko Brigade thanks to such things as raiding a museum , turning the bones presented there back into living dinosaurs and then turning it into a flying fortress, and the Dominion, the faction lead by Corpsemaker.
Currently, Thoughttown and the Empire have started an alliance to defeat the Dominion, which in turn has launched several strikes to take over the city.
Electro himself has been send together with another Epic, Timeport, to capture an Epic called Neverthere. He got split up from Timeport when he was distracted by somewhat of a rebellion of vanillas (normal people) and his partner meanwhile has also failed to capture Neverthere, because Epics of the Empire intervened. Timeport is now currently locked into combat with Lucentia.

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

Ok, thanks. So electro is arrogant and punky, right? Is he that to the point where he would zap someone to death if they bumped into him?

Yeah, I wouldn't put that past him.

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

Ok. Does he play the part of looking an Epic as does he have a significant other?

Not especially from memory, except you count the punk get up, and no.

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

Ok. Has he ever tried looking like a normal person, then killing someone who doesn't realize he's an Epic and cuts in front of him on the street?

Not to my knowledge, he's more the type to kill someone for no reason instead of fishing for excuses to kill someone.
