If she doesn't know, then I could see Red casually "accidentally" mentioning it. 

Has Red by any chance seen "How to lose friends and alienate people"? :P

No, but only because I haven't. 

Neither have I, I just thought the title seemed appropriate.

I'm pretty sure Red'd join the faction for him. That kind of torture freak is precisely up her alley. Anyway, I'm using the term slave loosely when it comes to her. "Please torture me, I have a bunch of great suggestions for cool ways to make me hurt, and I'll love you for doing them to me you don't even need to kiss me though I seriously hope you'd do that too because I have terrible taste." Really, the only kind of torture that she wouldn't get excited for would be psychological. 

I'm up for whatever, though I'm pretty sure I'm going to have her join Epoch's faction to some extent. 

Red could easily be a special case, but generally, he doesn't torture people he sees as allies. Partially because Epoch keeps him from getting too out of control. Partially because torturing the people that help you torture other people results in overall less torturing.

If he decided she was a victim, then he would get pretty mad when he realized Red was enjoying herself. But after that, he might well see it as a challenge, and start looking for a way to seriously hurt Red. Who knows, he might even succeed, after enough tries. After all, everything I've described Quietus doing so far has had a significant psychological dimension to it. And I would guess that with somebody for whom self-harm is a major part of their identity, they are almost by definition more resistant to physical pain but proportionally more vulnerable to emotional pain.

I think the governor-ish one would work better. Along the idea of largely independent but still subject to Epoch's rules/commands. Ironwood wouldn't be able to leave any "trees" behind due to his range restriction...actually, where is the event taking place? Depending on the speed corridors, it might not be a sufficient issue. There was also mention of someone (I don't remember who) who was thinking about hiding in the Sherwood Park area.

Yeah, that's kind of what I had in mind too. Epoch would call on them if the situation was severe enough then, I think.

The speed corridors simplifies things if you want Ironwood to participate.

Ironically, it was Voidus who said that that wasn't necessary.:rolleyes:

To be fair this is about deciding what happened in one story thread not the whole game.

Drake, what sort of sugary sweet nickname would Quietus be able to tolerate? 

You know, I think I'm just gradually getting more and more concerned by the future, and I haven't even posted Quietus' arrival on the scene.

So far, he has made a point of sounding excited and upbeat while he does his thing, so he would probably enjoy something like that.

Hey all, I read the rules thread, is this the right place where I ask to join? 

Yes! What questions do you have?

Where do I post my character? (once I've made it)

Can characters move between threads? Is that common?

What's the deal with people putting an icon before their in character posts?

(more questions will come when I think of them)

I think I'll wait a couple posts, see how things go. I might have a post with Phyto prepping security for Ironwood's potential absence out later, if that seems reasonable.

Post it here to start, that way we can all take a look at them.

Right now only the What Happened in Edmonton thread is active.

That's a way to identify easily which character someone with multiple is writing for.

Welcome @Nohadon I think the images thing was at least in part just an imitation of how Robert Jordan and Brandon put headers at the start of their chapters that are content or character dependent. But yeah it does help distinguish between multiple characters in a single post.

Turns out the one thing making writing a post up even harder than moving is having to deal with an internet and electrical blackout back to back for unrelated reasons. So sorry about that, at least it happened when you guys were still free to proceed without me. So there should be a post from me soon, for real this time.

Worse option #2: Nighthound is Kelsier. He died but used hemalurgy to come back.

You jest, but I remember messing with people by implying a horror sequel style follow up where somebody trying to make a full set of Nighthound Motivators ends up getting effectively possessed by him. (Specifically through his meta/controling people powers causing the healing factor to glitch out)

* Realizes that he said PP might be around making Motivators and would have had ample opportunities to steal some Nighthound blood*

So you know, if you want to revive the nightmare, feel free to. I'm sure karma won't blame you. :P

If I spent several hours in therapy first then I might be able to get the courage to resurrect Nighthound, but I don't think I could ever actually try to write him. :P

Well I guess we'll wait to hear back on the opinions of others then. :unsure:
