    I for one love a good villainous monologue if it's done right. Magneto from the X-Men franchise comes to mind, and it's hilarious to Lampshade (Like with Syndrome from The Incredibles.) On that note: your favorite X-Men character?

    We discussed the peculiar curse words of the Reckonerverse in this thread. I suspect you'll find it interesting.

    Whenever I'm writing messages about anything serious I have to check and double-check the emoticons I use over and over again. I type light-hearted smilies so much that I live in fear of adding one of them on reflex. "I'm so sorry your entire family was ripped to shreds by a pack of starving dogs. :P" "...?!" "Oh goodness I'm sorry. That was supposed to be a frown, honest!"

    I'm here to have a dreadful stomachache and drink an entire jug of chocolate milk, and I'm all out of chocolate milk! ...Actually, it was probably in reverse order. ...And there might have been some causality at work here.

    If so, would Shiny start flirting with her?

    I still catch a sob in my throat when one of my chickens falls deathly ill. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I break into tears like a two year-old if anything happens to one of my cats. Death is never something to take lightly. It's callous to brush off any level of grief as "attention-seeking." I would even go so far as to say it's cruel.

    Alright, I was wrong.

    This is disgusting. Just flat-out disgusting. As a farmer, the death of one of your animals is always traumatic. It doesn't matter whether it's a well-loved cat or a chicken you barely know. Experiencing an animal's death--and especially being the one to discover said death--is an awful ordeal to go through, and it's appalling that your mother is belittling her ward's grief like this. I may be overstating my case, since I'm feeling pretty bad myself today, but I can't think of anything that could justify this sort of reaction to her child's loss.

    I don't think the weapons dealers are in nearly as secure a position as you think they are. Remember Diamond from Steelheart, when Nightwielder came into his shop? Diamond was terrified. A man in a position of power or security wouldn't have shown the terror that Diamond did. Nightwielder could have killed him at any time, and it would only have caused a minor inconvenience while he waited for another greedy arms dealer to take his place. The dealers are involved in a very dangerous profession, and I suspect their mortality/loss rate is very high. Personally, I would be very surprised if Diamond hadn't seen quite a few of his employees and predecessors killed while on the job. If mass murder and looting became commonplace in Portland, I have no doubt dealers would start to avoid the city. However, even the richest dealers are in a dangerous line of work, and they know it. I don't believe a single incident would get Portland blacklisted. And even with Altermind being as busy as he is, he is still more than capable of a cover-up on this level. If he's thorough--and we've seen that Altermind is a very thorough man--then there won't even be any rumors besides the ones he's started himself.

    The weapons dealers don't have the resources to launch a full-scale investigation, and even if they did, Altermind could simply supply their oh-so-easily duped senses with whatever information he wants. As for the weapons, it shouldn't be too hard to stage a scenario in which he "captures" the weapons back from CorpseMaker. Heck, he could easily make a profit by selling them back to the dealers, or prove himself to be trustworthy by giving back "all the ones he recovered" for free. Sure, some shrewd dealers might suspect they're being played, but they'd never find any proof, and they have no reason to trust Altermind over CorpseMaker anyway.
  13. Kobold King
    Altermind could burn that shop to the ground, leaving only a single survivor whose head is stuffed with the delusion that CorpseMaker's gang caused the destruction. An illusionist of AM's skill could get away with basically anything.
  14. Kobold King
    Not sure. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. Otherwise just ad-lib it I suppose.
  15. Kobold King
    Absolutely, unless Baxter wanted to keep her close by for observation. In which case there'll be guards who'll poke her with more holes than Chrysalis if she so much as conjures a snowflake.
  16. Kobold King
    So what you're saying is, Converter serves her revenge cold?
  17. Kobold King
    It didn't work, of course. The argument was about her Smoking in the house.

    Hope you don't mind Lark, but I did some file reorganizing today and I converted two of your pictures into desktop icons.

    I'll upvote it for you! * clicks * Wait... now who's gonna upvote it for me? Twi, this is very important. As soon as your quota refills, you have to upvote Mailliw's post on my behalf! You're my only hope! Also, how well known is Mr. Gunz? I bet the Empire could rush his shop and loot everything inside of it with ease...
  20. Kobold King
    That is adorable. Oh, and Edge? And if that's not inspirational enough, I'll just spam pictures of pugs.
  21. Kobold King
    You must meme, Twi! For your country! For your species!

    It's things like this that makes me want to surprise your parents in their bedroom early in the morning in a wizard robe while screaming the seventh Harry Potter book aloud in Latin.
  23. Kobold King
    The reason aliens have yet to contact the earth is because they're too nervous about asking for Twi's autograph.

    She's so powerful, she can cook burger patties just by looking at them. She doesn't even need a bikini! Or the sun!

    "Knowledge is power. Knowledge is in books. Ergo, all books are filled with power. Librarians control books. Therefore, librarians are all-powerful and would suck my brain out through my nostrils if I messed with them!"
