Comatose, I was not sure what you had in mind for this Public Announcement Blossom is writing. I am perfectly comfortable with writing it myself, but I figured I'd give you the opportunity to write it if that's what you wanted. Just let me know.

Buttercup nodded at her orders. She bowed her head slightly in salute before leaving the High Epic's side, approaching IcyHot and Resistor. "You two!" she called. The two Epics quickly turned, clicked their heels, and saluted her. She saluted them back before delving into their instructions. "You two have a long night ahead of you. You'll both be staying here to keep an eye on the Epic. Take turns sleeping, and always be within arms reach of each other. If she tries to escape, it's on you two to stop her." She noted how their faces drooped slightly, a reaction she expected. "Promotions await you when this Epic is finally dealt with." That perked them up. Employing Epics in the security force, and having them serve alongside vanillas, was risky business. The vanillas were canon fodder, but the Epics proved useful on many occasions. It's only natural that they be the ones to climb the hierarchy ladder. Plus, promotions were great motivation. Dismissing them, Buttercup watched as the pair walked away with a new bounce in their step. Hopefully they'd survive, but Buttercup wasn't so sure that the Epic would leave quietly. The fury that had been in her eyes left quite the impression on Buttercup, and her palms began to sweat just thinking about it. Physically shaking her head to clear her thoughts, it was time to call him again. She took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly as she dialed him on her mobile. It rang. He never answers the first ring. And rang. She allowed her annoyance to grow, he always did this. And rang. Her annoyance turned to anger. And rang. When the answer finally came, she exploded. "Hel-" "Why in Calamity do you always let it ring forever before answering!" She screamed. She noted some of the people in her vicinity turned to look, IcyHot and Resistor among them. They all quickly turned away though as she gave them all the stink eye. "Oh. Oh ho!" Broadcast was chuckling at her. Buttercup could barely contain the anger. If he wasn't so Calamity Rendered useful, she'd kill him. Kill him twice if she could find a resurrection Epic. Maybe even three times. "I must apologize, my liege. It is getting rather late, and you rang just as I was brushing my teeth." Liege. He called her liege. Again. That was the last straw. Turning from the people, she bent slightly over and spoke very softly, her fury seething in her voice. "Listen here, you obnoxious man. It's been a long day, my patience has been tried. Harass me further, and I will spend tomorrow hunting you down and pulling your vocal chords from your throat, so that all you can do is use text to speech to communicate for the rest of your sorry little existence. Do you understand me?" The line was silent for a moment, and in that moment Buttercup knew what he was doing. She knew what was about to come. She tried to breath, to calm herself down, but it did nothing to help the situation. "YES. I UNDERSTAND. MY LIEGE." It was the text to speech feature. Buttercup boiled in place for a moment. Biting her tongue, it began to bleed. She then released it, the flesh healed, and then she chomped down again. This repeated until she had let the line sit for a good minute. She could hear Broadcast chuckling to himself on the other side. He knew she could do nothing to him, he was safe, his protection stemming from Corvallis's need for his power. She could threaten all she wanted, but in the end would do nothing to him. When the pain had dulled her anger, she spoke normally, as though nothing had happened. "Broadcast, I need you to contact Monokill and send her to the park. She's needed for surveillance." This was followed by another long moment of silence. He had probably expected her to react further to his shenanigans. "As you wish, my liege. Should I give her any orders?" Broadcast sounded somewhat defeated. Her anger completely dissipated at her victory over the insufferable man. "Yes, tell her she is to aid IcyHot and Resistor in monitoring the energy Epic from the attack today. She can get further details from them." Buttercup heard the man's affirmation, and hung up. She didn't want him to have another chance to upset her. Looking around to make sure she had addressed everything, a burst of green light illuminated the park as Buttercup took flight, heading straight for Harrison Street Bridge. Blossom paced her own kitchen. Her brain was moving like a rocket as she pondered the edit to her written press release. The teapot began to whistle, so she paused her train of thought to pour the boiling water into a teacup. She rummaged through a cabinet until she found the tea ball. She filled it with her favorite tea leaves, and dumped it into the cup. She began to pace more, waiting a sufficient amount of time for the tea ball to steep. She then removed the ball from the cup and placed it in her sink, before relocating to her couch. It was the comfiest couch, Blossom loved every inch of it. She sank into it when she sat down, cradling her cup of tea to not spill a drop. She sipped for a good ten minutes before moving, placing her cup on a coffee table and picking up a journal and pen, scribbling edits to the speech. She wouldn't sleep until it was done, and it wasn't done until it was perfect.

I'm not as funny as he is, so I'm not sure if it would be all that entertaining

Though if he writes too much stuff, I won't get any sleep either from laughing too hard.

Yep *points to my own status* To be serious though, I find both his weaknesses and his powers a bit...unconventional. I'm not sure if he's serious about joining or not though.

Well, they are Power Rangers, so you can't very well have more than one color on the team. There can only be one Red Dalek Ranger, after all, and same goes for the rest of the team.

You mean to tell me you didn't like the Power Ranger Daleks?!!? I was so looking forward to them coming back...and then they never did. All joking aside, I agree that they were rather...weak...in comparison to other Dalek showings.

...Well this is awkward. I guess it's good to know someone else appreciates Ace Attorney, and liked my "Cosmerenaut" title.

University of Oregon in the city of Eugene? Or Oregon State University in Corvallis?

I'm the same way, the bugs love me over every other option within miles. To test this, I once doused every inch of my body with repellent of the mosquito specific kind. I used the whole bottle, brand new to empty. It felt gross, but it would have been worth it should it work. I go join my family outside. At the end of the night, I had stopped counting at 20 bites, meanwhile all three of my cousins hit 5 bites, collectively. It's terrible.

I'm fine with a time skip. I've been waiting for Voidus or Winter so that I don't clog the thread with my girls.

Thanks, and by changing to universe I can actually make my own link, so [[state|States]] works, making the redirect unnecessary. Thanks again for the help!

Yes, I'm currently using {{culture}}. My biggest issue is that, because the actual article is "State" instead of "States", using [[state|States]] or [[state]]s does not work. That's assuming "States" is an acceptable world.

I'm currently editting the Wode article, and in trying to come up with the Ethnicities & Nationalities infobox information it occurred to me that I don't know what to call the world of Perfect State. What I've currently got is "States" or "The States," but because the actual article is "State" I can't get either to link to that article. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Do you know what page/chapter Vasher says these things?

I'm not going to explain in detail my lack of religious beliefs, suffice to say I agree with Chaos in pretty much everything he's said. I do, however, want to share with you, Kobold, that math does explain love, or rather can be used to do so. On my first day of Differential Equations the professor strolled into class wielding nothing but a piece of chalk, and proceeded to explain the true beauty of math, and then to prove to us that math was as beautiful as he claimed, mathematically explained love. It was awesome, and one of the best days of my college life.

I don't think that's an oopsie moment so much as a pat yourself on the back moment.

The interwebs has a kindle reader you can use, plus any smart device (except maybe windows phones) has a kindle app that you can use to read and purchase.

The thing is, that's the point of the rep system. Upvote things you agree with and/or like, downvote things you disagree with and/or don't like. It's not a Like system such as the one Facebook employs, it's a reputation system. A downvote does not necessarily mean the person wanted to attack you, that's just the stigma that has become attached to the system. My personal opinion is to keep the system anonymous. Though I do believe our current user base is kind enough and smart enough to not abuse a non-anonymous system, we are an ever growing community. An anonymous system will likely be a necessity eventually, so I don't feel there is a reason compelling enough to make the change worthwhile. That being said, I do believe adding a quick form of why a downvote is being cast should be added, for more reasons than those stated above. Though I don't place much importance or value in my reputation number, knowing whether I've offended someone is very important to me. I love this community and everyone in it, and as such I want to respect everyone here. Knowing what I've said that offended you allows me to avoid doing so in the future. It also allows me to potentially explain myself too, as perhaps it was a mere misunderstanding, because I'm not as eloquent with words as Kobold. I don't care about my rep count decreasing by one. I care about you, and how I've hurt you, and how I can avoid doing so in the future.

I'd also like to add that knowing which thread you want your character to join is always a good idea. That does not mean you need to read them in their entirety, but asking players about the settings is a good idea (either in the Question thread or a PM). I say this because almost all of the settings were made with a specific idea for a story/concept in mind. For example, Corvallis was intended to have very little action in the grand scheme of things, so inserting a character that is action oriented might not be the best idea. Meanwhile, Salem was made with the express purpose to have action packed fights occurring on a regular basis.

I apologize if my statement felt like I was disparaging you, that was not my intent. I, too, prefer well cited discussions, but when it comes to book citing I lack the tools to quickly find such things, so my apologies. I was under the impression they had discovered new Commands, but again none were worth mentioning. That might be my memory failing me though, and is also beside the point of this discussion. I'll avoid derailing this further and instead just PM you
