It makes for a convenient moral gauge. Nighthound, who is so far beyond the Moral Event Horizon he seems to have forgotten crossing it in the first place, brutally murders her. Lightwards, who crossed the Moral Event Horizon in his first on-screen appearance but had a handful of sympathetic moments, went from initially liking her to thinking of her as empty-headed for being friendly. CorpseMaker, our current Disk One Final Boss, barely hesitated before killing her.

O.o That...is unsettlingly like something graverobber!Funtimes would say. That version of Funtimes will stay in the Question thread. Period. I've almost sympathized with him a few times, but it's like he's determined to push any semblance of humanity so far down he forgets it's there. His MEH should subject us to quite a few more disturbing atrocities, I'm sure. It will definitely make sense that he chose to ally with Nighthound, who he considers more of a "proper Epic."
-
That is most certainly not her idea of a fun time. Especially if it's a favor for Lightwards. It's unnerving, thinking that this isn't the worst we'll see from him
-
Hmm. That does pose a problem. Maybe he could convince Nighthound to retrieve them? Or send some of his toy Warriors to Sacramento?
-
If he's going to become CorpseMaker 2.0, I vote he does this. It would be quite disturbing, and perfect in its own creepy way. First Commandment of Free-form RPing: Thou shalt abandon all outlines. Thou shalt embrace the practice known as pantsing and be content with the idea that thou wilt not know what wilt happen until it is written.

Would YOU want to see Lightwards followed by his zombified parents? O.o Figured as much. Promise me they won't appear?
-
She wouldn't drown YOU. YOU aren't a dirty meanieface full of lame. (They're full of surprises. Usually the bad kind. Looking at YOU, Nighthound!)
-
Aw, c'mon. Does she seem like the type to brutally murder her whole family?
-
The idea that most Epics murder their families has influenced Funtimes' backstory.
-
Like on Benny and Joon! "I got you two goldfish. They're both named Steven--one with a v and one with a ph."
-
I almost wrote a book called Ten Excellent Reasons to Punch Nighthound Directly in the Face, but then I realized it would expand to at least 1,000 reasons.
-
So this would be a good time to have the Unicyclist sit and think about how much he wants to punch Nighthound, then? And if there's going to be an attack, will Lightwards bother to tell Funtimes?

The vanillas and Ray join in, eventually drowning out the sounds of complaining.Edit: All hail Lightsong, God of Heroes and Supreme Lord of Puns!

And Sam begins singing "First World Problems" under her breath.

He reached for the bottle, but an arrow shattered it, spilling the contents onto his desk. Glowering, Reader took a juicebox from a mini fridge beneath his desk, stabbed it with a straw, and drank.

What Happened in The Dalles
TwiLyghtSansSparkles replied to TwiLyghtSansSparkles's topic in Reckoners RPG
Reader was still shaking. He definitely just saw Koschei's death, Autumn thought. She almost pitied him. The tyrant's death had spelled salvation for The Dalles, but it wasn't the sort of thing she liked to relive, even as the observer she had been. Poor Remington had been the one outside, listening to that monster until death relieved him of his company. Taking advantage of Reader's discomfort, Autumn herded the three Epics out the door, closing it quietly behind her. If she slammed it, Reader would complain of a nonexistent headache later, and a complaining Reader was worse than a gleeful Reader. Of course, the only Reader that had a chance of being somewhat tolerable was a sleeping Reader, and Autumn had never caught him napping. "All right," she said, wincing inwardly at the false cheer in her voice. "Let's get out of here." Jordan McKenzie and Bill Waters flanked them as they approached the door. Autumn nearly stopped and asked for additional soldiers—they deserved a break from Reader and forming an armed escort would be the perfect excuse—but the twins had established themselves as non-threats, and the past-seeing Epic, whose name was apparently Backtrack, seemed to have no secondary to speak of. Autumn was certain she could take the small, skinny Epic with her revolver, should the need arise. Just the thought made her wince. Her, all five-feet-six-inches of her and her loaded weapon, against him? He wouldn't stand a chance. Point was, Vondra didn't like waste. Requesting four soldiers for an armed escort when only two were needed would be a waste of manpower—a small waste, but waste nonetheless. Resisting the urge to smile apologetically at those she had left behind, Autumn opened the church doors. Alarms rang. Weapons were drawn. Soldiers hurried back and forth. Autumn drew her revolver and quickly tuned her radio from the Church-only channel to the emergency one. "…arrows, homes and businesses in northern sector aflame. All available personnel, report to the nearest command station. Epics move to the front line at city borders. Repeat: This is not a drill. The Dalles is under attack." Autumn took a moment to compose herself. Not since Deathwish…. But if The Dalles was under attack, these new Epics needed to see how the people handled it: with practiced calm. She nodded to Backtrack. "Let's get that arm fixed up." -
I could get something quick for Autumn written.

Always.

There are quite a few High Epics in Portland now, some of them quite unpredictable. Any one of them could be a target for Springfield's justice.

Commander Vondra, a former National Guard commander, took over The Dalles when Koschei died, turned it into the heavily militarized city it is now. The Dalles is, officially, ruled by the human population, but many powerful/useful Epics in the City Guard get away with using their powers more often than is allowed by law, and wield more power than they ought to.
-
About two years, RP time. His conquest of The Dalles didn't last long, but it left quite the impression.

I can see his stump speech now: "Vote for me if you must. My party seems to think me the most worthy candidate—indeed, I was nominated nearly unanimously. However, had a cow been capable of attaining citizenship, I'm certain my party would have nominated the cow. Why would anyone vote for a candidate who would have lost to a cow? I certainly wouldn't."

Lightsong/Charleston 2016! One is good at similes. One is terrible at metaphors. They both excel at being awesome. Why would anyone nominate a fictional character for President? I mean, Lightsong couldn't even run.
-
I just finished chapter 16 of Warbreaker, and I have one thing to say. Lightsong for President! Er—I mean—I like him.

Like Edgedancer said, maybe people like slontzes? It doesn't matter to me, really.
