….unless you want to do that.

The prompt can definitely be expanded to other small animals, but nothing too deadly. So the worst Nighthound could become is a ferret or a non-lethal snake of some kind.

I did too. To echo what Edgedancer said: MOAR! Here's one drawn from my own experiences: Your character is a grad student who must write two reflection essays for their student portfolio by the end of the month. They are also completing an internship and working full-time. While at the store, your character runs into the school board member responsible for making portfolios a requirement. What does your character do to this person? ….. Okay, maybe a more relatable one is required. How about: Your character wakes up to discover they are a pug. A genie, who granted this wish based on another person's request, informs them that they will be this way for the next twenty-four hours. If the character is an Epic, they will be incapable of using their powers for that time because—c'mon, everyone knows pugs don't have superpowers. How does your character spend their day?

(And oddly enough, it doesn't help you get Cocoa Puffs. Everyone's so busy going all "Take my house!" "Take my car!" "Take this ceiling fan shaped like Prince's face!" that they don't even get you what you really asked for. ) Threaten Darkrose, will you? I'll show you what happens to cupcakes who do that!

Those were amazing. I especially liked the way Sam demonstrated her dominance over Calamity's Cupcake.

So….no sermon on how the sky itself sometimes has the clouds form into the image of Savior Zero? (The service was going to take place inside, so avoiding describing the sky won't be a problem.)

I still need to write something up for the Church of the Singularity.

Maybe it means we never outgrew the dinosaur phase? ….or maybe it means we….yeah, I got nothing.

I love how proud the dog looks to have an orangutan friend. "Look. Look at my friend. He has a hairy face and he can grab things with his TOES!"

Before we go any further with anything, I feel compelled to share this commercial with you. Because it's important to... Oh, who am I kidding. It's adorable and I'm a sucker for adorable things. Just watch it.

Pics or it didn't happen. As GM, I would wholeheartedly support a hypothetical scenario such as this. If only someone were willing to make it happen.

I think she'd make him feel like a more powerful Epic than he was before grabbing one of his eyelashes, shouting "YOINK!" and running away.

"Honey, was it really necessary to drug Metronome and steal his blood before leaving him unconscious in a dumpster?" "I didn't want him to feel bad."

You MUST has badchull grandma/grandpa team.

In that case, we need an Epic who talks like GLaDos.

Perhaps she is also a regular attender and active member of the Church of the Singularity. By complete coincidence, she also has a device that allows her to immediately assess how many assailants are on her tail and how well armed they are.

It also fits with the character being careful—simply by being someone no one would expect to harvest Epic DNA, she has the perfect cover. Adopting typical grandmotherly hobbies would also give her further cover, especially if those hobbies consume a large portion of time.

Okay, I left work, and when I got on this site an hour later, I'd gone from 723something to 7255. WHERE DID IT ALL COME FROM Also…. I love this character idea. But I also love turning expectations on their heads. Is there anyway you can make this badchull a 60-year-old grandmother, maybe one who crochets doilies as a hobby?

It's payback for the "penguin in an escalator" simile from the Valentine's Day comic?

The last time Prof heard it, he gasped, put his hand to his heart, and swooned like a lady in an old-fashioned movie.

Isn't it obvious? By the time of Steelheart, no one wants to remember Nighthound. Damnatio memoriae.

I suppose you could also count "great googly moogly" and "great Noodly One," but those aren't exactly tied to the Reckonersverse.

I'm going to go with kind and supportive. What other Reckoners-themed curses do we have? Sparks Calamity Calamity's fires Calamity's cupcake Any others?

Curse you, Quota, for not allowing me to upvote this.

I think it sounds more like a Doctor Doofenshmirtz swear word. "Now that I have you trapped, Perry the Platypus, there is no way you can escape and punch me in the—OH CALAMITY'S CUPCAKE!"
