How did this conversation get onto this?

"Conny started it when she said she was on her period."

<...I'm pretty sure we'd be in WAY bigger trouble if Selina tried to adopt someone ELSES child!>

<Not now. Angel's parents won't live forever, but Angel will.>

"EEEEE!" Meme is surprised at first, but then giggles and sticks her arms and legs out so she was like a bird!

((...Where was Momo at the time?))

On the other hand, you now won't be able to reform yourself like you did when Naga smashed you.

And your form isn't superdense, only a few times the density of concrete. You probably don't weigh much more than half a ton. or so. (Which is good. Multi-ton forms are hell on floors.))

((Which reminds me, what are your thoughts on letting Grate stay?))

((My thoughts, whatever they may count for, are that Grate is infinitely more likely to cause less catastrophic damage if he is A) as far away from potential random annihilation artifacts as possible, and B) not put into a position where he would have to contemplate his combat uselessness.

((...Thanks?))

((@GWG: Reread the turn and noticed this. When you said release the armor, did you mean simply stop the effect or did you mean release the armor ability? Do you want a new ability?))
[/quoe]
Hm. I had originally meant to just drop the armor, but...I'll drop the ability, the armor isn't doing me much good right now. Editing post.

(Ugh. I think I'm going to have to drop RPing Jim as a character and just only post actions in response to Piecewise/turns. There's too many people to keep track of, too much OOC chaff to wade through to even figure out what's going on, most of the thread's activity is while I'm at work... I just don't have the time or the patience to try to figure out what anyone else is doing or if anyone is trying to talk to Jim anymore. :\)

((I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want to appoint an official Jim-RPer, so Feyri and the others aren't deprived of their Jim?))

((I'm about to become a living Organo-tissue dominator psychokinetic amp.))

((...You're turning into space-magic.
Who wants to take bets on hos long it takes for him to accidentally himself and/or everyone around him?))

((Looking through the thread and found this. Kinda hilarious considering what Grate did soon after ))

((Yes, it is. The trope page has a new trope.))

"Need amps. Where are they stored?"

((Quick question. Do you understand that May is a probably-nude creepy synthetic woman with...attributes like a caricature of a fertility goddess? And maybe some stuff I've forgotten?))

((Not really. The majority of the players are staying aboard the Sword as normal, and participating in ARM operations. Me and a few other players that I decide are going to stay here on Hephaestus and manage ARM's resources and technological development. It'll be like we're on an extended-duration mission.

((Which reminds me, what are your thoughts on letting Grate stay?))

((Chuck me some amps why don't you?))

((Quick question. Do you understand that amps are implanted thingies put into one's brain, and therefore not something that one should be chucking about wantonly? Or that most people have sufficient access to to chuck about wantonly?))

While waiting for the boat to get to land do something to pass the time... The rock that hit me was glowing, maybe it game Keith super powers! /snort.

[1] That would be silly. All you got were some ringing ears.
That, and stuck on a life boat with a bunch of annoying people. "Hey, whoever's mumbling, shut up. I can't hear myself think!" Some people give you funny looks, and the muttering continues. Jerks.

Continue sleeping, possibly having strange and revealing dreams.

[2] You dream that you're falling, naked save for your underwear, and your teeth are falling out.

Sent knew better than to argue with her grandmother. So, she decided to follow what her grandmother advises with.

"Yes, of course, grandmother."

Wait inside and turn on the radio or something. If nothing interesting happens, attempt to sleep.

((I didn't really miss too much last turn, considering I'm basically waiting inside.))

You listen to the radio. Even the channels that don't normally carry news are talking about the meteor. Music stations fit it in between ads and songs, a sports station is broadcasting it nonstop except for some ads, and there's this evangelist talking about how it's a sign of the apocalypse. He might not be wrong...

Yukari attempts to handle situation via leaving the room and talking to her mother on the phone.
Explain situation to mother via saying I slipped and hurt my wrist.

[5] She believes you.

Announcements!

A lack of reaction!

Medomai's eyes are caught by a large cardboard standee.

"Star Dust Witch Meruru!!", a title below it says, with a stack of manga next to it. No cellophane wrapping, either.

Huh, I've heard of Meruru. I wonder if it's any good.

She picks up one of the first few books, and somehow flips to the magical girl transformation.

Wow, that's actually really cool! I wish I could do that.

Pretend to do a magical transformation!!

(You asked for it...)
[1] You don't transform, but you do feel a bit tired. You see peoples' heads turning towards you. You weren't that obvious, were you?

"... oh dear," Claudia says under her breath, then laughs at herself. That's a pretty funny reaction to what amounts to unprovoked murder. 'Oh dear'. Really. Has she herself gone off the deep end, or has reality done the same? Moreover, does it ultimately matter? Our perception of reality is purely subjective, and-

No, no, no. This isn't time to stand around waiting for somebody to ask questions. This is a time to do something else entirely. Namely, remove herself from the premises post-haste.

Escape! Listen carefully if the voice has any more detailed instructions than 'Kill! Maim! Destroy!' or if it really is such a boring twit.

The voice is willing to be more creative at times and less creative when I'm not feeling creative. Right now, it's providing suggestions.
[4] You manage to flee before anyone else takes too much notice. The voice is grumbling, imploring you to break something, kill someone...

(Have you gathered that your magic, while dangerous, has made you an early antagonist?)

((And I still think their dead until proven otherwise ))

((Let me put it this way: It's really hard to misspell Minu/Mimu/s name when you don't consistently spell it one way or the other.)

Minu seems really nervous. She didn't know anything about this woman, and she probably didn't know anything about her! What if they didn't get along? Would she get sent back to her parents, or just another person she didn't know? Regardless, she gives a tiny wave.

She smiles and picks Mi...nu? up.
"Is this okay?"

Kimiko leers at Fuuka and makes a throat slashing gesture with her thumb. "You got lucky today."

Kimiko stands up and goes looking for the room that she's wanted in.

So you do. There are a few armed guards and two men in suits. One is on his phone, and is talking in hushed tones about someone. Some sort of criminal? The other was reading until you came in.
"Take a seat, we're waiting for the others to get here."

Status

((What?

((Hey, could you describe the look on your face when you read that?))

No, it's referencing the manipulators/amps. They were the savior of the father (the UWM in the Altered Wars, likely via literal deals with Outer God-like beings that power the things), but they'll be the enemy of the son (ARM). Doc's gonna bring back the Altered to fight off whatever horrible gribbly happens like if the AM turns evil or something, or for the endgame.

That makes...some sense. And maybe the Doc is one of those critters?

Also while I'm at it, how would the Flood from those Halo games do against the Altered?))

Or the Tyranids of WH40k?

"No, I'm a woman on her period whos had enough drama today!"

<The typical fae monthlong period...>
<Living dangerously, are we?>
<Says the pot to the kettle.>

<But she told me a long while back that she could basically switch between being fertile and non-fertile at will. Unless she switched between the two recently there's no reason for her to have ovulated recently.>

<Actually, that explains a lot.>

<Just deal with it for a few days. Most of us are women anyway!> Conny is miffed.

<I'm a superior kind of woman. I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.>
<What's a period?>
<What, you didn't glean knowledge of the birds and bees from Nuriel?>
<Nuriel doesn't know anything about birds or bees. Or anything.>
<I know more than you. And hey!>

<*sigh* It's a fluctuation in hormone levels, it is not some sort of small-scale recreation of the Book of Revelations.>

<If you need something to compare it to-->
Will, Angel, and presumably many other characters respond to this in the negative.

Aedan mentally winces.
<I may know some fertility gods and you know... I ask stuff about my friends...>

<Fertility gods? We might want to keep them from...well, everyone except Angel, Kyle, Keith, and myself.>
<And me. And Sen.>
<...And those two sneaky guys.>
<...>
<...>

<If all else fails, Selina could try drawing children and specifying their DNA.>

<Or adopt Angel.>
