Mailliw73 he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'd take my boring life any day. Good. Well, not "good," of course, but better than the alternative. I mean... I don't like being a stick in the mud, but I don't think I'd be comfortable if the Trifecta took this any farther in "that" direction. Even the stripping's a lot further than I'd have gone, personally. Not that I'm bashing or criticizing anyone, of course. I'm just saying that I'd personally be most comfortable if these kind of scenes... didn't come to dominate the RP, you know? If I'm just being a squeamish prude, feel free to disregard everything in this box. Just my personal perspective on this. It's a bit much for me too, honestly, but it definitely won't be taken any further and I don't plan on writing any more scenes like this. Ever, hopefully. Electro doesn't get to have everything he wants, because I said so. Take that, Electro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Glad it's not just me, then. I mean... can you imagine if instead of nameless NPCs, those girls were Sam and Revolution, or maybe Autumn? One of those girls is Sam's exact age, for Calamity's sake. These are, in my opinion, the darkest posts in the RP yet. And being a cheery little ray of sunshine that photosynthesizes cute stories from the Internet, I hope they will REMAIN the darkest posts in the RP. That's all. They're very well-written posts though, so don't think for an instant I'm criticizing or complaining. Kobold King, signing off for the night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, I mostly, might've fine a bit too far with that. I just happened to get right in the writing zone when I started that, so it went further then I'd planned. I agree with this very much. We're planning on turning down the creepiness for the rest of this collabo now. At least Protector Pug was also posted today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark isn't bad, and in fact I'm liking the posts enough to upvote each one as it comes. They're awesome posts, and you, mail-mi, and Twi ought to be proud of yourselves for having the skill to write them. (Though just to let you guys know, if Timeport and Electro did capture Revolution, I'd scrap all my current plans and activate instant Sunburst mode. I'd be worth it all just for a description of Electro's final pre-vaporization face. ) Now, moving on to the important questions: how heavy is Protector Pug? I need to know all the details, so I can produce a proper pug-hugging scene with maximum realism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's about six months old, so she's pretty small. She probably weighs about 8 to 10 pounds, so she won't be heavy at all. "Take off your skirt." "Hmm... I'd rather not." "Did you not hear me, babe? Didn't you see what happened to that other gal that said no to me?" "Oh, I heard. It's just that I would really rather keep my clothes.... oh. Hey, this is new." "Umm... why are you glowing?" "No idea. This has never happened before. I feel kind of tingly inside." "T-tingly?" "Not in that way, you pervert. Less 'Stockholm Syndrome' and more 'I'm gonna murder everyone on this street with awesome death rays.'" "You're.... this is just a trick. You're bluffing." "Oh, is it?" * searing fingers press to Electro's throat * "Electro? How about we play a game?" Awesome. Anything that improves the chances of abundant pughugs is awesome. General question: would a pug eat a sheet of paper? It'd be woefully ironic if the infamous "dog ate my homework" excuse were invoked if Protector Pug consumed the paper with Altermind's weakness on it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might play with it, if she saw it fluttering to the floor, or if she batted it with her paw and it rustled. Then again, a regular piece of paper might be too stiff; Mollie tends to ignore notebooks but loves to shred napkins. So long as Sam keeps the paper out of her reach, it should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 EDIT I think I have the most on the list Depends, can must I count my Astoria Epics already? We do know how to keep things interesting, don't we? Especially when you consider that in one day, there has been…. A declaration of war The forging of a fragile alliance Lots of murder Sadistic games Threats Plenty of creepiness More murder More creepiness Fights Pugs By contrast, my day usually looks like this: On the up side there´s also been some romance and...yeah the day pretty much sucks for Portland overall.

Could someone confitm for me that in Steelheart David said that the Reckoners always targeted High Epics with a PI (whatever that means at this point ). I don't know; he's highly driven, goal-oriented, and a bit of a perfectionist. The Reckoners may have seen these as positive qualities. And there's also the matter of them not expecting him to gain powers in the first place. He did. It's in the chapter shortly after they take him underground, where they ask how he knew they were going to hit Fortuity.

I'm sure the arrow-predators wouldn't mind. Electro isn't quick enough to fend them off, Timeport can't evade them quickly enough, and they don't possess the intelligence to develop human-like emotions that Quota could affect. We see the Trifecta as a terror, but I think they'd see it as a buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the chapter shortly after they take him underground, where they ask how he knew they were going to hit Fortuity. Not really, Prof mentions that until David he especially recruited people that are more controled than he is, not only does this imply that he hand picks every member and he´s very cautious concerning the Reckoners, so I don´t hink he would a person of questionable morals join ever. (Which really makes me wonder how Megan not only managed to join them but even get into Prof´s trusted cell.) Great, then I noticed another Frefight inconsistency. David and Val talk about the hit on Puño de Fuego and that while he did have damage resistance did not qualify as a High Epic.

Maybe the inconsistency was due to David's imperfect knowledge of their methods? David´s analysis does make them worry about becoming predictable though.
