Question 20

[The Swan Dragon he/him]

@Drake Marshall Sorry for putting words into Epoch's mouth. You did a great job of slipping them in to his part.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

'sfine, we already discussed the circumstances under which Phytomagnet might get asked to do something by Epoch, and it wasn't difficult to justify him doing it.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Yeah, sorry ‘bout that, I imagine Red will have more to do soon once Quietus is not otherwise occupied.

Edit: and now it’s my turn to start a new page.

Newest Ironwood and Phytomagnet post up.

I know that I had them describe Kokichi's powers incorrectly, that's 'cause they have no storming idea what Kokichi can actually do.

Alright, she’s probably going to be benched until the Impact Vs Quietus scene is done. That’s fine, I was just wondering. 

Well, so long as it remains a conversation she could talk to them or something.

But yeah, since Quietus doesn't have a PI and isn't wholly independent, he is going to focus on the more threatening (ie not shackled) epic first.

Post is up.

Now, it might be too soon to suggest something like this, but could we convert WHiE into a comic?

I bet we have enough accumulated artistic ability to pull something like this off, even if only a sample page of a cool scene.

I could work on some draft panels for Three in the Street. Or the refinery attack.

Have you read the rules and etiquette thread?

[+Ark1002]

Yes.

Yes.

If you have any thoughts for characters, here's an outline to present it. How it works is you post your character in this thread, and as a community we take a look at them to make sure they'd be reasonable for the RP.

For human characters just put any gear or skills in place of powers.

Just realized that if Nighthound did come back then there'd be a Nighthound, Red and Neverthere reunion in the city. 

Curious as to what Red's reaction would be.

 I dreamed about this role play last night. It wasn’t very accurate, as the only actual characters to stick were my own, but it was definitely this role play. (Well, I think my dream said Oregon but close enough.)

I've done that kind of thing before. It's super cool. What was going on, if you remember?

[+Ark1002]

When it says "Modus Operandi" in the template, what does it mean by that?

More or less their way of doing things. If they'r e an Epic, this might include their particular brand of evil, whether or not they fight the evil, and if so ho hard they try. Maybe take a look at some of the characters in Edmonton's Recipe for Epic Maple Pug Treats, if that didn't make sense, because I'm terrible at explanations. Can't wait for you to join us!

P.S. I honestly didn't intend to drop off the face of the planet, but I guess that happened, sorry. I trust you guys have found ways around needing my characters for this past while?

Could someone give me a summary of what I need to know to join What Happened in Edmonton?

The very first post in WHiE has a summary of where we started at the end of the post.

For example, Batman’s MO is dressing up like a bat, punching people, and never killing. I think.

Batman can kill, he just tries not to.  You are thinking of guns.  https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BatmanGrabsAGun

More or less what has happened in the thread (sorry if I miss something):

• The city houses quite a wide variety of factions. For more details on the major factions, see the initial post in the WHiE thread.
• Doubletake, a precog and the most powerful epic in the city, disappears.
  • So does Titan, her most powerful supporter.
  • Also, Epoch, a time epic and the leader of a rival faction, had his weakness leaked in the aftermath of Doubletake's death.
  • Various groups respond to this.
• Various groups of refugees arrive in the city, mostly from Oregon and Calgary. Some of them are epics. To my knowledge, these are the ones that have made a debut so far:
  • Spoiler

     

    • Knoxx, an epic that makes walls and phases through them.
    • Silhouette, an epic with shadow-themed powers. Friends with Knoxx.
    • Scribbler, an epic with ink-themed powers.
    • Impact and MV, twins with momentum creation and manipulation powers, respectively.
    • Taya, a nonpowered fugitive from Toronto who cons epic regimes for a living.
    • Kokichi, a reality warper that creates an area where toon physics applies. Kind of. It's hard to explain, but entertaining.
    • Red, a psychotic blood epic that enjoys being enslaved by other psychotic epics. Including Nighthound, the most abusive epic in the history of Oregon (who is, at least for the time being, dead).
    • Liam the Moose, a nonpowered secret agent type with a motivator-enhanced Volkswagon Samba.
    • Riley, a thermal epic (think Obliteration but less OP) that hates the government.
    • Armageddon, aka Woobie, destroyer of worlds. Brainwashing powers and omnicidal tendencies.
    • Jacklyn, an epic whose power is being attractive, and slowly intensifying relationships with her (uncontrollably).
    • Bloodlight, a high epic whose powers I really can't explain in one sentence.
    • Taylor Swift, a shapeshifter/healer epic being hunted by the Reckoners.
    • A bunch of Oregonian refugees all in one group, including several epics from Corvallis.

     

• Orbit (gravity epic) is attacked by Knoxx (walls epic) and Silhouette (shadow epic), and fights them off. Sangria (fire epic, kind of) and co help with damage control to ingratiate themselves to Orbit.
• Armageddon (omnicidal brainwasher) sends out a message to everybody about his motives. He ends up having a long-range conversation with a mystery epic, discussing why he wants to destroy the world.
• Taya (fugitive) enters Edomonton, and is effectively recruited by Typhon (feral epic, but not). In a plan to save herself from a lethal poison, she is currently impersonating an agent in Circle of the Shield.
• Scribbler travels towards Edmonton and then makes preparations to enter the city.
• Liam the Moose heads for Edmonton and runs into the Kokichi (reality warper). Together, they visit a research facility for leads on Liam's mission, and subsequently rob said facility when they are shut out. This causes the Alberta Government to try to arrest them. A car/motorcycle chase ensues, and is then interrupted by the Riley (thermal epic), who kills the people that are chasing Liam and Kokichi, before passing out from injuries gained during the fighting. In the aftermath, Phytomagnet (plant epic) notices them and starts asking questions, but Liam and Kokichi talk their way out of the situation and run away, bringing Riley along. Liam, Kokichi, and Riley are currently situated in an abandoned refinery, with Riley regaining consciousness and making an escape.
• Jacklyn (attractiveness epic) tries to enter Epoch's territory. Red (blood epic) attempts to swear her undying loyalty to Jacklyn, only for Jacklyn to run away. Meanwhile, Impact (momentum epic) watches the scene from overhead. Epoch (time epic) gets paranoid by all the epic activity and sends enforcers to capture them all, and also sends Quietus (speed-stealing epic), the extremely sadistic head enforcer. Red senses Quietus' approach and allows herself to be captured. Jacklyn gets lost while trying to leave ERA territory and is also detained. Quietus approaches Impact, and they are now conversing.

Also there is a mysterious Epic being mysterious.

EDIT: Also, I can't wait until Jacklyn and Kokichi interact.  They both have anime-type powers, and Kokichi might think that she is meant to be their love interest or something because they think they are in an anime.
