  1. Do you know how when someone tells you not to think of something it's all you can think of? Like if I said "Quick! Don't think about muffins!" your head would be filled with images of muffins? Sorry about that, by the way. And you know how Backtrack can peer into the past and see exactly what someone was thinking at any one time? He could find out the weakness of any Epic by suddenly yelling "Hey! Don't think about your weakness! The thing that cancels out your powers! Don't think about it!" He wouldn't survive the encounter, but he'd briefly know someone's weakness.
  2. Agh... accidentally... upset... Forum Mom... must... backtrack... must... reboot... PLEASE STAND BY.
  3. I WAS HAPPY IN MY DAISY-FREE STATE. AND YOU RUINED EVERYTHING! FOR THIS I SWEAR, I SHALL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!
  4. I am lackadaisical. I lack daisies. Not one daisy do I possess. Around me is a stunning absence of daisies. There are no daisies on my person. You will find no daisies here. Behold, not one daisy was had this day. I'm here to kick arse and pick daisies. And I'm all out of daisies.
  5. There's definitely a school. One of the people Quicksilver just mutilated was a schoolteacher, in fact. As for retconning... well, there are a lot of ways to go about this. Vapor Snake was entirely retconned in, after all, and that was a much bigger addition to the city than a teenage vanilla that tags along with Redlight every now and then. EDIT: What Twi said.
  6. I can definitely imagine a vanilla creeping around The Dalles sneaking pictures of all the Epics in the Guard. This is Scribbler eating cereal in her house. This is Edgerunner tying her shoelaces. This is Deathwish talking to a lady. This is Deathwish rubbing his face after getting slapped. That sort of thing.
  7. Reader would make the concept most difficult to pull off, since there's not a lot a teenage vanilla could offer him to make him refrain from exposing all her darkest secrets. Exposing people's darkest and most troubling secrets is kind of Reader's thing. Autumn Glass doesn't seem to spend much time researching Epics and doesn't strike me as the kind of person who'd want to hear about them all the time. But, she is a very understanding person who might realize Lyla's troubled psychology and try to help her, if healing is what you ultimately want for the character. Redlight is a bitter and flatly unlikable person who could make a good straight person for Lyla's quirky weirdness. She keeps files on all sorts of Epics, Koschei included, and would be happy--or at least, not resistant--to teaching another vanilla what she knows. I personally think Redlight is the best fit, but it's all up to you.
  8. More seriously, I say go for it! You could craft a very tragic but interesting wreck of a person out of this. Almost like a Stockholm Syndrome directed at someone who's long dead. She'd definitely get in trouble if she made her obsession known publicly. She would be considered to have very bad taste but wouldn't be a risk to city security worthy of arresting. If she went around talking about it though, she'd run into trouble; low level bureaucrats would go out of their way to make life difficult for her, she'd be shunned by pretty much everyone, and her home would probably get regularly vandalized. She'd either have to be quiet about her obsession, mask it in a professional interest in Epics (potentially making her a partner for Redlight?) or stubborn enough to clean up graffiti and suffer through the abuse of all these people who just don't understand her. Any way you approach this, though, I find her to be one of the most interesting character concepts to have been recently proposed. I really want to see what you do with this.
  9. Susan Gillespie has a sword fight with Stombaugh on top of a herd of stampeding buffalo? The buffalo are from space, of course, since there are no bison herds in Washington.
  10. Okay Donald Trump. Today's the day. You don't have to do this anymore. Just come out and tell us it was all just a prank and we'll all have a good laugh. Please?
  11. I do free moving work for the people at our church, often alongside paid laborers. I can confirm that the professionals at least know what they're doing.
  12. I could take a look at it.
  13. When you hear that someone's insulting your GM but you don't understand the situation:
  14. I anticipate Nighthound's death scene to be extremely protracted and over thirty thousand words in total length, laying out his entire demise in exquisite detail. The scne will become the very first post on the forum to reach a four digit upvote count.
  15. The universe itself would rather cause diamonds to appear as spears from thin air rather than hear her ranting and demanding to speak to its manager.
  16. Met TwiLyghtSansSparkles in person. Can confirm the veracity of her name. She does not actually sparkle in sunlight.

      Well, the Sparkle Realm. It's like the other realms but filled with oceans of glitter instead of glass beads, and all the spren are cats that talk in LOLspeak.

      I think we all need to visit this magical place.

  17. She met my little sister, too, so she may have met two Sharders and one future Sharder.
  18. The name I was born with, or my real name? Either way, I'm pleased to have made a new friend.
  19. Bruce Wayne Batpug and I have an unshakable friendship which will last a lifetime now. I fed him ice cream and fries. I am confident his loyalty is mine. Told Nessie you said hi, by the way. He said hi back before re-submerging.
