I also agree. The Dalles would be a good option for Elsa.

Welcome, Elsa!

And think about the architecture he destroyed. Yes, his transfersion did preserve the buildings themselves, but it also changed their materials entirely. Brick, wood, clay—all of it became steel. This might have been a boon for, say, poorly built apartments that suddenly had no fear of fire or water damage, but what about older buildings downtown? A building's materials are just as much a part of its history as the building itself. The materials tell a story—not only what sort of materials were used back then, but also how long its builders expected or wanted it to last, what sort of impression they wanted to make on the public, what its intended purpose might be. Turning an old building into steel is turning it into a mockery of itself. It's transforming a piece of history into something more permanent, but with less character. The more you think about the things he did, the worse he gets.

Yes. Yes we can.

I never thought I'd say this in the context of Lightwards resurrecting someone, but….sadly, no. He can't resurrect Epics.

Haha! Finally got a chance to start! Up to 400 words now.

I hit on a particularly disturbing bit of Fridge Horror in Steelheart today. In Chicago, there is a library. It is a beautiful library, one of the largest in the world. It is also located downtown—one of the areas Steelheart's anger transformed into steel. When David returns to the bank, he mentions that the mosaic on the floor is now gone, as every colored tile has been changed to steel. This establishes that Steelheart's transfersion changes the surface of anything colored, although it keeps textures intact. This means that within the Chicago Public Library…. …..all of those books…. ….would have been erased. Every one of those pages would have been turned to a thin sheet of blank steel. All because one little Epic threw a temper tantrum.

When Calamity hits, I know your weakness already. Who was it? (Note to self: use break to catch up with actually socializing outside the RP. )

It does explain a lot. No matter how idealistic you are, a customer service job WILL make you hate people.

Somehow you managed to give a cartoon pony the universal "I want to speak to your manager" look. (I recognized it from the groans of a thousand customer service employees that went up when I saw her picture. ) (It's an awesome pony. )

I don't know why, but every time I try to picture scenes from WHIM, the dialogue sounds like it was lifted from Nathan and Sam's unwritten Mafia movie.

Maybe he's on bad terms with an Epic in Central Mexico, stemming back to something he calls The Hatch Chili Hairspray Incident. Mere mention of this Incident in his presence is an instant death sentence.

I assumed there was some sort of plant Epic, perhaps working with a heat Epic and a water Epic, to create the environment necessary to grow coffee beans in such a cold climate. Maybe they're good at growing coffee but lousy at making lattes, so they keep the employees of several shops as slaves so they don't limit themselves to one brand of beverage? And maybe they have "contests" now and then, where they sample the signature drink of each shop and murder all the baristas of the losing shop to encourage high quality among those remaining?

Thanks It was a creative project (make up an organization and a federation, then talk about the inner workings of both) and the prof seemed to like my initial concept. I'm just hoping I kept all the details straight. 40 pages is a lot to wade through on the rewrites.

I've been stressing for days. I know I've done fine on everything so far; throughout all of grad school, I've only gotten one C on an assignment. All of my grades have been A's and B's, yet I still keep going back over all of my work in my head, thinking "he's going to dock me for that and that and that, this one is going to sink my grade for sure."

For exam variant, substitute frantic typing for frantic writing resulting in temporary carpal tunnel syndrome and lead-smeared hand. Subtract intro and conclusion; add problems or whatever variant exam requires. Be sure to add several fear-filled glances at the clock, to taste, and crippling anxiety and serious questions as to your own intelligence when you are not the first to hand in your exam. If you are the first to hand it in, substitute questions about own intelligence for moments of terror as you wonder whether or not you got every answer wrong, to taste. Simmer over slow-burning anxiety about future career until graduation.

Oh, I forgot someone. Koschei with matter manipulation added to his healing abilities would first set about creating equipment for his army. He's not much of an engineer, but he would recruit one and follow his or her instructions long enough to build some tanks, guns, grenade launchers, etc. He would attempt to build a nuke, but become extremely angry when it proved too complicated for a quick project. To compensate, he would add mech suits and other heavy weaponry to the mix. Then he would hit The Dalles. He would start off with a show. Remember the scene in the church? Imagine that repeated a dozen times with much heavier weaponry and a much larger audience. Oddly enough, he would not often use his matter manipulation to give himself a clean shirt. He would spend most of his conquest with blood all down his front.

Remington would kill Lightwards and Nighthound as quickly as he could find their weaknesses, after trapping them both in cement. Quota would be pants-crappingly terrifying, partly because he would be bitter about no longer being able to manipulate emotions. Nathan would trap every Epic he deemed dangerous in cement before being driven insane by guilt and the corruption from his powers.

Picture dark!Funtimes. Picture her with a raging case of PTSD and a disdain for everyone who isn't her. Picture her with no qualms against murder and more megalomania than is healthy. That's how I imagine matter manipulator Lightwards.

Your suspicions are correct.

Thank. Goodness.

Recipe: Semester Project Add all ingredients in order described. Check multiple times to ensure every component has been added. Type frantically, shunning all human contact. Add a few more words to conclusion. Go back and add more to intro. Panic. Add more words; realize project is now over 40 pages long. Wonder if you'll be docked points. Panic. Finish project; let rest for a few hours. Return, edit, and send to online dropbox. Panic.

My plan is coming to fruition! Nice pony. Who is it?

After saving it, I'll go to https://dumpyourphoto.com and upload it there, then copy and paste the image address into the image embedder in this thread.
