Do you know what would be even more horrifying on an existential level than an alien invasion? A scenario in which the aliens show up, and within a few days, round up all the asteroids in the solar system and strip mine them. Every. Last. One. They dismantle the Asteroid Belt in a matter of hours, and spend all the rest of their time zooming around the solar system, sucking up every asteroid and comet they can find. They don't send any messages to Earth; as far as we can tell, they don't care in the slightest about our existence. Humanity is forced to watch helplessly as the aliens pick up all the free-floating space debris they can carry and leave the solar system far behind. We never see them again. We never know anything about them; we don't even know what they themselves look like inside their ships, if they even have organic bodies. Humanity is left forever knowing that the one alien race we ever encountered didn't care a fig about all our lofty ideas of first contact. Oh, and because they took all the asteroids our civilization would have one devil of a time colonizing the solar system. A sizable portion of all the free-floating metals and minerals within our reach would be gone, forcing us to use far more of our own planet's resources in order to expand onto worlds like Mars or the Moon. An alien invasion would tell us that Earth is important enough for an interstellar species to wage war over it. The Invasion of the Asteroid Snatchers would tell us that we're not even worth a pit stop. While a good old-fashioned War of the Worlds would be a lot more unpleasant, I for one would find the Asteroid Snatchers far more existentially horrifying.

I'm feeling out of the loop again... Do they really have a thing for each other, or is that just another piece of fanon?

I have no problem with Shiny modeling some of Sam's skirts. Just as long as Sam is in the other room and wearing a pair of pants. And a chastity belt, if necessary.
-
Nah, I don't mind waiting. I think an MV post would make more sense than another sad Backtrack post anyway, unless Backtrack gets to wander off and meet somebody.
-
All-righty. One Lightwards/Candyflame post coming up. Voidus, are you gonna write an MV post in Portland? No hurry, just wondering whether you're going to continue the scene or if I should.
-
Says the person who called herself "Delightful."
-
All right. What were her exact powers again? Burning and carmelizing sugar, I know, but does she have any ability to produce sugar or does she have to carry a bag of it around with her? Agreed.
-
Sure. I can do that. (Where is Candyflame, by the way? Did she spend the night in the Museum? Is she your character, or an NPC?)
-
If that's the case, do I have your blessing to do a Lightwards post? Hands up: who wants to see Timeport, Electro, and Quota forcibly stripped and forced to run around in their underwear?
-
Sounds good to me. Also, I think this is my first Popular Portland post.
-
Lightwards is attacking Chimera, and he'll be forcing the citizens of Portland to hear one of his speeches later. If the MEE tries anything he'll burn a few blocks to the ground to send a message.

I bet that looks cute. Also, this is the dumbest joke I know.

* Numnums immediately chomps down on Nighthound, biting him completely in half and slicing into thin ribbons in his teeth. And then Nighthound died. * It'd definitely be a last resort. "While we're at it we might as well work out a plan for killing Pam Hattner and... uh, 'Rebellion Sunlight'?"
-
* Lightwards sets up an elaborate fake planning table with pictures of "Nathan Terry," whom he insists to an angry Funtimes is a rival Epic who just so happens to look like her boyfriend *
-
"If you leave her behind I can't be responsible for what my more rebellious dinosaurs might do to her. So I suggest you leave her tendons intact." "Nobody asked you, you intangible freeloader."
-
"Don't be wasteful, Nighthound. 'Vincenzo' here would love to take her off your hands." * hungry allosaurus rumbling *
-
"That's awful!" -- Decent human beings. * sigh * "Nighthound, how dreadfully inefficient of you. If you're going to waste your time on these pitiful people, at least let them walk upright. We're only as fast as the slowest one of the pets you've mutilated." -- Lightwards.
-
Good to know. You had me worried for a minute.
-
-
Derp. This is what I get for trying to plan things past my bedtime. Yep, I meant the MoNA. I'll try to get Sam and Lightwards posts up tomorrow.
-
I don't know. It is a pretty fluffy towel. How long after the dress-up will Funtimes be teleporting back to the cottage?
-
I think I'd prefer the towel-floor option. Largely because having a bath towel getting stretched and morphed all over you has got to be a pretty weird-feeling experience, and the floor eating your feet and becoming a pair of boots even more so.
-
-
We'll just see how it goes, then. Am I correct in supposing Funtimes will use the towel and part of the floor as dress and boots material, or will she need anything extra?
