  1. Her mother is religious, though Sam herself isn't. So yes.
  2. "The stallion was a fine specimen--dark and muscular, with a vividly scarlet 'V' emblazoned on the center of its forehead. Virgo Genetics had done another fine job."
  3. Oh, I'll ponify the Water Bear all right. But you'll soon be wishing I hadn't. Sometimes I wonder if I take the pursuit of ponies too far... ...But then I say, nah. What's the worst that could happen?
  4. What is Mommy's weakness? Can't hurt to ask...
  5. Phobia: Taxidermy. Every time I look at a mounted deer head I find my heart pounding and my attitude suddenly becoming one of quiet fear. I simply can't relax knowing there's one of those freakish, staring stuffed carcasses in the room with me. Which sucks, since I live in Texas, where everyone and their dog wants you to see the massive buck head hanging in their home or place of business. More-or-Less Legitimate Fear: Animals under my care dying. When I was a kid I was responsible for the family chicken coop, and one night raccoons exploited a flaw in the coop design and massacred forty of them. The next morning I found forty dead and mutilated chickens, and a few more who were so painfully wounded my father had to mercy-kill them. While I know it wasn't my fault--I was only twelve, and not responsible for the coop design--it had a big impact on me. Every night I feel the compulsion to check the coop multiple times before going to bed, to the point that some nights I've actually gotten out of bed and gone outside in the middle of the night to make sure the coop is properly sealed. I'm terrified of having the birds trusted into my care slaughtered by some sadistic wild animal, all because of a simple and easily fixable farmyard error.
  6. We could ship you with Edgerunner. "Edgedancer" could be your portmanteau couple name.
  7. I suspect someone's mixing up Edgerunner, the character, with Edgedancer, the player.
  8. I could get behind that. It's sweet and it adds a good moral chapter to her character arc. And, uh, sorry if we keep bothering you with our complaints.
  9. Yeah. Without getting into PSA territory, a lot of abused women have refused to seek help or ditch their abusers because the're convinced "He's better when I'm around" or "He needs me." This is usually wishful thinking on the part of the woman. Now, understand that I don't blame these women, as what happens to them is definitely not their fault, but Edgerunner is beginning to set foot on a dangerous train of thought.
  10. (Twas a joke, Edgedancer dear. ) There's a lot to be squicked about. There's a fine line between caution and paranoia, but at the moment I'd applaud Edgerunner for showing a bit more hesitation before she lets Frostfire sweep her off her feet.
  11. Oh, I remember. General Edgerunner and General Flashpoint are still my OTP, after all. Faster, I would say. When was the last time you saw a sentient photon arguing about shipping over the Internet?
  12. I'm not sure if that would be a terrible case of jumping the shark or a brilliant show-saver. (She'd better start learning what I'm implying, or maybe I'll have Sam "coincidentally" inherit a thing that sets off her weakness. ) I'm with you there. I'm still not 100% sure that Frostfire is worthy of someone as awesome as Edgerunner.
  13. Old minister? No. Creepy guy who almost tried to murder an entire clinic's worth of people because of a perceived insult? Absolutely.
  14. Oh c'mon! Frostfire's basically just a watered down Obliteration already, right?
  15. It would be great for the first few seasons, but eventually our shipping would catch up with us and it would sink into complicated love triangles and manufactured drama. (Sam wouldn't be quite as kissing-compliant as a certain ginger counselor. ) In other news, I found a Popeye .gif and kind of want to see an Epic based off of it.
  16. Can we have a live audience to give a laugh track at all Backtrack's failures? Maaaybe. (About 22, I think? I should probably write this sort of thing down. )
  17. That could work. (Though Edgerunner's 19 and we gave Sam German citizenship, so I guess they're both kosher. )
  18. Today, at TwiLyght's suggestion, I mixed up our usual scrambled eggs routine with pepper and sour cream as opposed to cheese and sausage. Since I'm posting this here rather than on the "Having a Bad Day" thread, you can gather that the experiment was a success.
  19. I just don't want to have to come up with complicated reasons to justify the presence of every Epic in the state, especially not in problematic cities like The Dalles. I want to comfortably shrug off canon where it inconveniences us and only accept it when it adds something neat and helpful to the universe, like the Firefight fear revelations.
  20. Well I guess I'll just have to keep my desire to throw canon to the winds to myself.
  21. This just in: Brandon Sanderson encourages an RPer to create his own continuity for his Cosmere game, and tells him not to worry about the actual canon of the series.
  22. Today I learned of a custom toy designer who re-imagined the cast of Star Wars in an old Western setting. It's basically the best thing ever.
  23. I'll probably answer the rest of these tomorrow, but this query has to be dealt with immediately. Ponies.
