TheSilverDragon he/him Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Now this is the question, to be or not to be? Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings... sorry but it had to be said. Anyways, that is the question right now, what do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions. EDIT: it kind of fits perfectly with my essay I'm writing on the Death Penalty. Edited April 28, 2015 by TheSilverDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhoof Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Well at the moment, if she has activated her blanket absorption then she will not die from anything Rainmaker throws at her. Butif she hasn't yet... she might be squished by that hailstone at least if she doesn't see it coming. Logically, she would expect an attack of the sort (she saw what Rainmaker did to the Ghoul) and be ready for it. Unless she is stupid, which she might be.

I'm thinking she dies somehow, don't know yet, and reincarnates somewhere a little outside of Corvallis. She enslaves, threatens, meets up another epic, probably with some type of heat abilities, and then gets back to Corvallis as soon as possible to kill Rainmaker.

Mailliw73 he/him Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mailliw, Reader actually did betray Koschei willingly. Remington didn't capture him; he went over to Vondra willingly. Whether or not you want to change this is up to you; Emma might believe otherwise. I just figured that Remington's reputation would've been blown out of proportion, Emma is a fan girl and prone to exaggeration, and she hates Reader. So I figured that allowed me to make some baseless hyperboles. She probably thinks Remington strolled up to Koschei, whipped out a rifle and shot him while Koschei stood in shock as his powers failed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailliw73 he/him Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wow. I didn't realize that Remington was a combination of Prof, Vondra, and every other badchull hero who was ever created or who ever existed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailliw73 he/him Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. Chuck Norris wears Remington Springfield pajamas. Chuck Norris checks for Remington Springfield under his bed before sleeping. Chuck Norris once tried to take over the Dalles. He only lasted a minute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue with winding up outside Corvallis is that you'd then need to get back in. That could take some time, given I doubt Rainmaker will want to continue the scheduled bubble drops until Euphoria returns, if she ever does. That means you're waiting until something happens to Bubbles, and you'd need to be at the bubble waiting when that happens. If you do choose to do that, the sneakiest place to get back into Corvallis when the bubble is down is through the large forested area west of the bubble. That has some rather rough terrain, though, so the easiest locations to get back in are either within Tangent, Albany, or along the Williamette River.

Well, we had this discussion in a collab group with the Astoria fight. Namely, how energy absorbers and forcefields interact. We didn't really come to a final answer, but decided that Disruption (who can absorb electrical energy) could move through shields at least. At most, he could use them as a never-ending energy source, or drain it until the shield died. The latter makes sense to me unless Bubbles is actively maintaining the shield- Prof's shields were not invincible- as evidenced by their weakening when gifted and the fact that it was a huge expenditure of power to contain the explosion (an indestructible shield would have required no extra energy). So perhaps, Converter would be able to walk straight through it. And at worst... she could absorb the whole darn thing. What do you guys think about this dilemma?

Depends on the type of force field, for an electrical shield like Sourcefields it would definitely work but if it's more like Profs then I doubt it, there's no energy involved there it's more like a solid object than anything.

Bubble's bubble isn't so much a forcefield as it is an indestructible wall. It's not energy, it's a physical thing. Bubbles has control over what can and cannot pass through the wall.

Edgedancer he/him Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Oh, and Edge? Sorry if I sounded snippy about the Koschei thing earlier. I've just been kind of on edge because of some other stuff going on lately. I noticed nothing. You'll have to be more mean spirited if you want to get something like that across to me. Depends on the type of force field, for an electrical shield like Sourcefields it would definitely work but if it's more like Profs then I doubt it, there's no energy involved there it's more like a solid object than anything. Not that I disagree but the last time we had a discussion about forcefieds, weren't you the guy arguing that forcfields not releasing energy/being indestructible until the Epic releases them breaks fundamental laws of physics to hard?
