    You'll love Quota's demise even more.
  2. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    I can't believe I just agreed with Quota.

    Sheeeee's actually the Master. Calamity will just remind her of it, that's all.

    Wait. His last name is Smith? You do realize that makes him and Revolution Smith and Jones, right?

    I ship Lightwards/coin soooo hard now. I haven't laughed so hard since I saw a book called Yeast: The Enemy Within. Reading is slow now.

    Oddly enough, I'm not trying to decide if that's a fair trade...but how to keep the god Epic from breaking the game.

    Terror upvote.

    For a second there, I thought you meant ship Sam or Revolution with Angel. Maybe what we need is a post-fear Epic who is kind, handsome, and in a committed and consensual relationship with a woman whose past would not make their relationship Stockholm Syndrome-y.

    Ironic, because pre-Calamity, I'd list server as "physically demanding, but with a low likelihood of bodily harm."

    David says in Steelheart that Steelheart kept a pretty tight grip on the farms surrounding Newcago, so we know that in at least one city there is controlled agriculture. I think it's safe to assume that cities that weren't Babilar also had at least several hundred acres of farmland surrounding them, which were closely monitored by the Epic despots there. Beyond that, there was probably some abandoned land, which people living between cities could use for subsistence agriculture.

    Like Karen Gillian's character, I wouldn't protest the invasion of the hot Italians.

    I don't see why he's asking if his hover board is full of eels. If we got our hands on his hoverboard, it would be full of eels. No question.

    I think most of the gushing is based on what they could be, because as it stands, they're not a healthy relationship. And I'm with you on the Rending (not rendering). It's a one-time thing.

    I'm with you there—the evidence in support of David's potential powers is far, far outweighed by the evidence against it. The healing-Epic theory does hold a certain appeal….but then there's the fact it wore off, or at least appeared to. Like you, I prefer the idea that David remains powerless and ordinary throughout the entire series, and I love, love, love the idea of beating Calamity in a game that's rigged in Calamity's favor. But if anyone could pull off this twist, it would be the Bandersnatch. If anyone would pull off this twist, it would be the Bandersnatch. (Well, I suppose M. Night Shyamalan would try, but then it would turn out that David's dad was ALIVE THE WHOLE TIME. ) Prof's illegitimate brother from an illegal arranged marriage with an alien diplomat! (Heh. Sorry. )

    I know what that's like. Most of high school was spent trying to cover up my math grades—which, after pre-algebra, usually hovered around a C. I went to a school where you need to have a parent or guardian sign weekly progress reports, and I'd hide my progress reports because I was too terrified to show them my grades. When they found out, I never heard the end of it. Just stay strong. I know that's hard advice to take, when your parents seem determined to tear down your self-esteem over a math grade, but school doesn't last forever. If you go to college, you'll just need to take the prerequisites, and then you're done with math.

    I was talking about that one, before I went back and read the thing. Oops. But then there's this gem right here: I'm not saying "That's it! That's what happened! David is totes an Epic now, guise!" I still tend more toward the "he rejected the powers outright" theory. I'm just reserving judgement until I read Calamity. Mizzy could totally be an Epic, but why limit it to just one secret Epic? What if she and the gun that shot Megan both have powers, and they realize it at the exact same time? What if every human Reckoner is secretly an Epic? What if every human human is secretly an Epic and the government has been hushing it up because conspiracies?

    I don't know, but I recently read a signing transcript where Brandon was asked who his favorite Epic was. His first answer: "You don't know they're an Epic yet." When asked it again, he backtracked and said "Firefight." It would be just like the Bandersnatch to give us all this "evidence" that David isn't an Epic, only to prove it was just a red herring. It seems like quite the long shot, and I'm having trouble completely buying into the theory myself, but I'm reserving judgement until I read Calamity. Because the pool of "secret Epic" candidates is pretty small. It's either David....or the gun that shot Megan. Edit: If David does have a power--which again, I think is a long shot, but the Bandersnatch could pull it off--I highly doubt it's stealing other Epics' powers in a way that makes it look like he was gifted. For one, that power is entirely too convenient; and two, it's nigh-useless unless he manages to get close enough to an Epic to steal their powers. Once again: I think David being an Epic is a long shot. And I LIKE the idea that he rejected Calamity outright. I LIKE the idea of beating Calamity in a rigged game. But I am willing to entertain the notion I'm wrong.

    I'll try that. White and lighter grey were impossible to read over the smoke, and the black didn't show up well on other parts. :/

    I don't know if you guys listen to them, but Anberlin is one of my favorite bands. They have a song for almost every occasion. Anyway, today I was wondering, Is there an Anberlin song for every major character in this RP? Here's one I did for Vondra, using the lyrics to The Resistance and a very rudimentary photo editing program, just to see how they'd turn out.

    You know, the more I rethink the last few chapters of Firefight, plus a few WoBs, the more I think I might be wrong about the whole "David isn't an Epic" thing….
  21. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    We WILL fit the entire Cosmere into this RP if it's the last thing we do! Is it going where I think it's going?

    Now that's just reaching. "...you know, I would, but it just doesn't fit you. Not many guys would pretend to be a deranged serial killer with supernatural powers just to give their friend an excuse to ask a girl out for coffee. So, no, I'm not calling you a meanieface. Sorry?"
  23. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    How many is that? Sometime in Week 4... "Oh, great. You're touching my butt. Let me guess: You like to gamble." *laughs* "Aren't you the smart one." "You're going to kidnap that guy in the Hufflepuff shirt wearing the Elder Wand necklace, aren't you?" "What? No!" "And then you're going to take him away to a torchlit basement and strap him to a table, but I'll save him just in time to make you really mad." "You've got to stop with these baseless accusations before I--" "You know, how about I save you both the trouble and ask Mr. Hufflepuff out for coffee."
  24. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    No harm in noticing details, I suppose. "Man, that's the third one this week! And why are they all gamblers? You'd think, with all the deranged serial killers kidnapping sweet, somewhat geeky guys, they'd have a few different hobbies, but no. They're all gamblers."
  25. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    That's profiling. No, can't say I have. Then again, I haven't met very many deranged gambler serial killers, so who knows what the future holds?
