Jo and the Bush all/any Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 If the wardrobe was sideways, would the corresponding 'portal' in Narnia turn sideways as well? Or is it atill vertical? If it's vertical, you could drop it open and sned someone shooting into Narnia at terminal Velocity. 1

Mistrunner Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Help. It is summer in the south. The heat, the humidity. Honor, how on earth do you survive Florida? Do you kill alligators and use them for shade? If I don't make it, I want you all to have the collection of drawings I made in math class of Stormlight characters as horses. They're terrible, but I wouldn't want them to go to waste upon the occasion of my death. Adieu. Adieu. Adieu. 1

It's very easy to kill them, just use the Floridan fire magic gathering there in the thaumosphere. 2

Mistrunner Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 This laptop I am typing on was at 11% battery a few seconds ago. Now it's at 12%. This leads me to the only logical solution- namely, that a ghost has plugged it into a ghost charger. Thank you, friendly laptop-charging ghost. I hope to see you again. 4

This leads me to the only logical solution- namely, that a ghost has plugged it into a ghost charger. Thank you, friendly laptop-charging ghost. I hope to see you again. This happened to me once. Except it powered off and two seconds later it turned back on, displaying 1% battery. I didn't plug it in and over the next hour the battery continued to rise. Is this happening to you? If so, you may have restless battery syndrome. Edited May 25, 2016 by Master Elodin
Chaos he/him Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Finding the exact battery charge remaining is really complex. There's a lot of chemistry and electrical engineering that goes into these. So there are some weird aberrations sometimes.

The Honor Spren she/her Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Help. It is summer in the south. The heat, the humidity. Honor, how on earth do you survive Florida? Do you kill alligators and use them for shade? No, we have palm trees and slash pines around for shade. I kind of just stay inside with the air conditioner. It's my bestest friend. Though the heat isn't nearly as bad as cold. How do you guys survive that white stuff you refer to as "snow?" I saw some frost on the ground once. I nearly got frostbite. It was really intense. You must not only use them for shade, but also as a flotation device. It's very easy to kill them, just use the Floridan fire magic gathering there in the thermosphere.Yes. That is definitely a thing, though. 1

I nearly got frostbite. It was really intense. It's quite simple, really. We form the snow into ice golems, or as the heathens call them, 'snowmen', which ward off frostbite. Then we shape other pieces of it into spheres which we hurl at each other as a barbaric sort of natural selection- survival of the fittest, as they say. The winners lie in the remaining snow and wave their limbs about wildly, thus creating snow angels that cart off the dead. 5

Sometimes heating up a battery can result in it reporting more power. I used to observe that with my previous phone in winter. The pocket in my trousers could charge my very cold phone up to 5% points by making it warm again.

The winners lie in the remaining snow and wave their limbs about wildly, thus creating snow angels that cart off the dead. What if someone plays dirty and rewrites the golems name? Do you have a fifteen-second period to dispel it into oblivion? If not, how do you know that the golem won't attack the angels? Also, how can you ensure that the angels are not biased? Do you bind them with an ice prison? Also what gets rid of the dead alligators? I'm sorry if these questions are insensitive to the refined culture of Greater Floridium, but I just love researching other worlds. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 No trouble. I happen to be from Western Washingtonium, so I can answer for the traditions of that area. I can't speak for, say, Alaskia or the Dakotanias, but in Washingtonium the golems are considered near-sacred. Rewriting a golem's directive is considered as bad as stealing a bag of Doritos from a starving man. If one does, they are immediately sacrificed to the golems and the faulty one is destroyed and strewn about the grass. The snow angels take whomever they wish; we do not question them. There are no alligators in Western Washingtonium, but the bears and coyotes that perish are carted away by Jimmy, the janitor from Yakima. In Eastern Washingtonium, we laugh at the heavens until they pour down blessings in the form of snow. When the blessings become too high for us to navigate the roads, we curse Western Washingtonium for stealing all of our snowplows. No snow angels nor snow golems have any power over their unbirthed brethren. We do what the snow berms want. We do not ask questions. 2

How do you prevent the lava golems from escaping their eternal prison in Washingtonium? And what if the souls of the bears and coyotes corrupt Jimmy? And what happens if a golem edits another golems directive? Do they die? If so, won't that logic destroy the entire Washingtonium golem population?[/hr] You created a monster, Honor Spren. And you cannot kill it.
The Honor Spren she/her Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) That sounds beautiful. O.O I . . . Try to ward away mosquitos that spawn in my front yard pond. Then I fall asleep listening to the soothing sounds of happy frogs. Some people say frogs say ribbit, but they don't. They say "maaaaa." The first time I heard them, I thought my neighbors were keeping sheep in their backyard. Edit: What did I do??! How was this monster summoned? Edited May 25, 2016 by The Honor Spren

The first time I heard them, I thought my neighbors were keeping sheep in their backyard. Different kinds of frogs say different things. Wood frogs actually do say "ribbit." Bullfrogs sound kind of like cows mooing IMO. (Maybe that's what you have in your neighborhood.) Spring peepers say "PEEP-er!" Green treefrogs say "tree-frog." (Why do I know this? I started learning birdcalls several years ago and the frogs kind of just snowballed along with it.) 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I have heard frogs that sound like lasers. Pew! Pew! 2
Mistrunner Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 The frogs I heard most back in California mostly just sounded like they were dying. 2

Master Elodin Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 The frogs I heard most back in California mostly just sounded like they were dying. That's because you're a frog wizard and are causing the frogs to malfunction with your powerful frog aura. I'm sorry, I just started the Dresden Files. 1
