Actual uncut conversation between me and my sister: Me: You know, if I were a fairy tale villain, I wouldn't explain my plan. When the hero said "Why are you doing this?" I'd go "YOLO!" and walk away. Sister: Why YOLO? Me: Only terrible people say YOLO. I'm pretty sure Steelheart said it once or twice. (Pause) You're picturing it, aren't you? Sister: Yeah. Thanks.

YES. I caught a few minutes of that new Teen Titans show, and I could only remember the time when it was a dark, edgy animated drama. It made me sad.

Their older stuff (late 90s and early 2000s) is good. Shows like Recess and Kim Possible are worth checking out for older kids. And I do love Gravity Falls and Phineas and Ferb, but I guess that's technically Disney XD. I love My Little Pony. It has the honor of being the only cartoon about colorful talking horses that has made me cry multiple times, and laugh far more than I've cried. If more adult shows were as much fun and as well done as MLP, there would be fewer cancellations.

Sofia the First makes me weep for what Disney Channel has become. Seriously! They have a girl who just became a princess, and she's hanging out with Mary Freaking Poppins and they come across this weird bear thing with bat wings—and they didn't even make any of that cool? What the heck, Disney? I miss Kim Possible.

If you call them "The Oncoming Storm," Nathan will be seriously torn between fleeing for his life and staying long enough to see if they know the proper pronunciation of "Allons-y."

"I told you," the Financier said. "I told you those numbers were up to something. They're always watching, always waiting. Can't trust those numbers. Can't trust them at all. They said they're going to kill me, and numbers don't lie."

I like them too. Hi, Anti-Joke Chicken! Now here's a question: If the Financier and Lightwards met for lunch, what would they talk about?

'Cause I can.

He definitely wouldn't be able to multiply a person or animal by zero, that's for sure. I think the size limit makes more sense than my projectile-and-direct-threat limit. How should his power work? I'm thinking he can do it in his head, which would help with the whole "numbers are going to kill me" thing since he wouldn't be seeing them on the page, but number-crunching would need to be done on paper, since he would find it difficult to keep track of those enormous strings of numbers.

How about…. Multiplying by zero is limited to projectiles (like bullets) and objects that are directly threatening his safety. If he doesn't like a pencil, he could negate it by throwing it and multiplying it by zero. Division by zero kills him, so he only does it when there is literally no other option.

It makes sense, in an odd sort of way. The multiplying-by-zero thing would be a good defensive power. When he divides by zero, does it create a small temporal disturbance that resets everything within a ten-mile radius to—I don't know—ten minutes before he divided? ….now I think I know why Lucentia hired him. Maybe when he does "number-crunching," he's able to predict, down to the millisecond, when the next threat will come and where it will be, by latitude and longitude? This would also have the downside or upside (depending on your perspective) of making him even more paranoid and violent, inclined to use far more dangerous applications of his multiplication and division power.

All I have for him is that he's a resurrection Epic with a similar mental-decay caveat to Lightwards. Although in his case, he sees numbers as increasingly violent living entities with each resurrection, so by 15 deaths, he'll whip out a pistol and screech obscenities whenever anyone (probably Nighthound) shows him a budget report.

Again, just picture her serving Nighthound. Karmic, no? I have the Financier, though I don't have anything for him besides "is somewhat insane and has a pathological fear of numbers" and "is clear evidence of Lucentia's poor judgment and/or sadism, since she apparently made him her finance officer." I'll need to find some way to make him totally OP so there's a canonical reason Lucentia hasn't just killed him already. NO.

Think of it this way: Lucentia is serving Lightwards, and Mobius is serving Nighthound. So in other words, their victims totally deserve it. (Yes. I turned it off after the first verse because it was night and I wanted to get some sleep. )

Sadly, the pony creator lacks the one thing needed to bring Lord Snakehands to life: the ability to replace random limbs with reptiles. Your wish is my command.

It was the closest thing the old creator had to a suit and tie. The new one would've let me give him more vampire-like clothes, to be sure, but I wouldn't have been able to use the cutie mark. I like adding all Epics to customer service. Pretty much every job within that sector sucks, and with how self-important and spoiled our Epics can be, there's just something very karmic about forcing them to perform menial jobs where talking back to a customer who just insulted you can get you a bad review at best and fired at worst.

If it helps, the man has already been mentioned in this thread. Both will make an appearance, though not in current continuity. Not if a certain spatial-distortion Epic decided to become a pirate. (mail-mi wants to see a highstorm in Astoria? I want to see Mobius as a pirate. I'd also kind of like to see how she'd do working customer service, but that's another story. )

Thanks I am now beginning to regret not naming her Scratchy McYelloweyes. And I'm thinking we need to introduce an Epic by that name pronto.

What's that? I should be doing homework right now? Sorry, too busy ponifying Epics!

But you just said we needed to start it in public! Now it's not a secret anymore!

Call me immature, but whenever I hear about any powers involving "winds" or "gases" I think of one of the superhero interviews from The Incredibles bonus features. "I can control gases, which has often made me the butt of many a cruel joke—wait, why are you laughing? Oh, right, I said 'butt'! Laugh it up!" How mature (or immature) are these crewmates of hers? Epic Name: Kobold King Primary Power: Inter-universe travel and interaction with inhabitants. Mostly used to create self-insert comics with his own fictional characters. Secondary Power: Vanishing just when it looks like a fight's about to start. Modus Operandi: Threatening lovable characters with death for not celebrating his birthday. (CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY OR SAM GETS IT! JUST DO IT!) (That comic was incredimazable. )

"Hi. Chimera, is it?" "No, I'm not going to join your stupid alliance!" "...I was just going to tell you that you left your headlights on." "Oh."

Astronomy isn't exactly my specialty, but I can say that the two weeks of night would grow steadily colder, while the two weeks of light would grow steadily warmer. It would depend on a number of factors whether or not the heat/cold were unbearable, but it's safe to say that the shifting temperatures would probably result in flora similar to that in the Sonoran Desert. Trees there are designed to absorb as much energy from the sun as possible, meaning there are trees with green trunks, trees with leaves all over them, and of course cacti. The two week cycles would also impact the weather, though I'd do some research into Earth meteorology to extrapolate exactly how. Some research on plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert would probably also be useful, because I imagine the landscape of this moon would closely resemble the Sonoran.

Interesting idea, but it demands more description.

They can, if you have a certain spatial-distortion Epic who for some reason decided to protect Washington to mess with a certain necromancer who tried to kill her that one time. It would probably depend on how far north the battles raged. At this point, it looks like some of Northwest Oregon will be spared, since there aren't a lot of turf wars in that area, while north central Oregonian battles (near The Dalles) will probably go into part of southern Washington. Edit: Fear not, Curiosity. You will be hearing from Koschei again very soon.
