They're currently having a conversation with a third vanilla who would probably spit his pizza out in horror at the thought.
-
Um….a buttload? I choose to believe that the bolder vanillas who know the term call Epics "rum raisins." Because no one likes rum raisin ice cream.

And posted. Short, but hopefully it'll ward off Writer's Block. Yeah, I think it was Joe who started it and Edge who helped it catch on. It's not in the series, but it does make sense.

"Anyone here? I'm looking for the rulers of Astoria." The Financier heard the voice, muffled as it was through the sacred walls. No vanillas would seek the rulers of Astoria. No Epic with a brain would seek the rulers of Astoria. So the voice calling for the rulers had to belong to a brainless Epic. The worst kind. The Financier lifted the candle, still lit, and tucked the zucchini under one arm before ducking out the door. The brainless Epic met his gaze with dark red eyes. That, in itself, proved nothing; eye color was independent of the One's influence, but the fact he sought the Diamond Queen made him suspicious. "I'm afraid she is away," he said in the businesslike tone he used with the Queen. If he served the One, this Epic might despise chanting as much as his master, but it was better to save that for later. Best to appear as amiable as possible. "Can I help you?" He wrote an equation in his head—1 zucchini times 40,000 equals 40,000 zucchinis—and held it there. If the brainless Epic started a fight, the Financier could summon the Metal. An exponentially growing pile of forty thousand zucchinis summoned everyone.

If my theory holds true, yes. People can be horribly spiteful, even without Calamity's corruption, so I don't find it surprising at all that a woman who takes pleasure in seeing good people corrupted would plan her friend-turned-rival's downfall for years.

Oh, I didn't say? The magical depowering ray rebuilds all the ruined buildings. (We really need to destroy this deus ex machina miracle ray before the Reckoners hear about it, don't we? ) "Luceeennnnntia! There are seven people coming up the rise! SEVEN! HALP!"
-
Ouch. I feel your pain. I think yours is worse, though. Was that one of the signings he cancelled?
-
Spoiler: Winter Glass' fear is hot chocolate. She faces her fears by drinking a warm mug of cinnamon-laced cocoa sometime in late February, at which point she becomes Spring Glass. The magical depowering ray makes her forget her fear of cocoa and how she conquered it. Okay then. I'll have something up for him soonish.
-
But…but she loves hot chocolate! Writer's Block ordered a hit on the Financier. He's been leaving my other characters alone, but the Financier, man….Writer's Block just doesn't like that guy. Given Lucentia's government and his position in it, how would she tell him to respond to someone like Bioterror?

Preacher vs. preacher. Fire vs. ice. Whoever wins, The Dalles loses.

I wasn't sure where antlers fit into the whole horns-and-wings pattern of classification, so I picked earth pony because it was closest. And most importantly: will Obliteration hit The Dalles in winter?

No, you'd be a cyclic weather manipulator. Change your surname to "Delancey" and you've got a chance at matter manipulation.

Also, your move with Chess.

And I listened, and behold, a voice over teh interwebs spoke; and lo, it was the voice of the Shipmistress. And the Shipmistress said: "I have more drawings from my sister."
-
So by that standard, would Funtimes be made Supreme Overseer of all Epic activity in The Dalles? Because I think that's a bad idea on a number of levels.

Obliteration Sharing Thread
TwiLyghtSansSparkles replied to TwiLyghtSansSparkles's topic in Reckoners RPG
It could be inconsistency, or it could be a high level of awareness regarding his own condition. When he says he believes Epics are the end, it shows he believes he has a dark destiny. When he talks about "the seed of the Epic" being inside everyone, it shows he knows or a at least suspects Epics are evil. Which implies he believes he is evil, perhaps made that way to carry out God's will of ending the world. So he sees himself as separated from God, like every other wicked being he is sent to destroy. I didn't read it as inconsistency. I read it as evidence of an extremely dark worldview. -
I recall one Doctor Who episode where a future version of Earth had an underground drug trade in emotion patches, that made you feel certain things. As it turns out, a patch called Bliss becomes popular with the upper class, and the patch is so strong that they don't even notice a plague sweeping the city--until they're all dead. I think a Rending-level dose of happiness could be much the same. Or, if it seems more likely that she just made all her victims super agreeable, I don't think that would be implausible. Epic powers seem largely instinctual, so there's a decent chance Euphoria could've controlled the dosage somewhat during her Rending. It would have been extremely strong for everyone she targeted, but I don't think it's out of the question that some were dosed more strongly than others. Edit: Yes, Obliteration. Yes you are.

Your demise draws near, Quota. Anything gets darker when you add Obliteration. To illustrate, here is a list of random things he could be added to: The morning news Teletubbies McDonald's Hot Topic The Mona Lisa Super Bowl commercials Motivational posters School assemblies A farm in Wisconsin If you didn't shudder at any of those, you have no soul. Or you ARE Obliteration.

Well, who's the biggest butt monkey?
