"It's always good to check. After all, the sun is a star...and can I really trust that your artistic tendencies are the same as those of humanity?"
THEN step into the circle.

((And uh...I hadn't realized that I'd be choosing that. I assumed the GM would randomly generate it or something. I'll...get to work? Well, I can start here...assuming it's okay.))
Gretchen looked along the armory. What is the most potent creation of mankind? Knowledge, passed from generation to generation. What is the most potent manner to do so? The Internet, which connects billions (hundreds of millions?) of people together and can send information around the world at as near the speed of light as the machines at each end can manage. What is the best way to connect to the internet? A computer, ideally a laptop with wi-fi.
This armory had an...interesting computer. It was much like a roughly ovoid laptop, seemingly made of some kind of steel or something and with a strap on the underside. As Gretchen approached, she noted that it had a vague design of what seemed to be stylized arthropods along the casing. As she grabbed it, she noted that the laptop, despite the fact that it should weigh several pounds, was light...light enough to wear easily on her arm? So it seemed.

"Thanks! I have a question about your drawing-to-living abilities...do they work on other peoples' drawings? And if you're not sure, can you try it on this angel? Pretty please?"

« on: June 17, 2013, 10:55:52 pm »Wait writers what.Basically gods. I don't know why Osborn became one. I'd like to know, though.
I need to know what they are so I can become incredibly bitter.
Also, I'd love to see this become a novel or a video game or something.As a side note, in The Islands of Misery (which, as an unsubtle plug, you should check out if you haven't), Faye was described as wearing T-shirts with video game references on them, and I gave her a "Bookwyrm" t-shirt.
So...it's a popular video game in some reality!

"Okay. Bye, see you I am going to kill Nuriel. Except that has a high probability of causing irreparable harm if it is not fatal to me. Anyways, Selina, I drew this angel!"

« on: June 17, 2013, 10:44:49 pm »Since I'd really like to add more traits, I'll add something like this to the OP. I'll call it "Just".Maybe if the person's wounded my character (or maybe also other people's?) for no real reason other than greed or random violence?Hmm... Would it be possible to get a trait that'd give me a bonus when I kill someone in the name of justice(or, in self defense, I guess. But justice sounds better), but subtracts from an attribute when I kill someone without provocation?That sounds like a nice idea. The only question is, how would I objectively determine when such a thing is?

"Yup, it's my first sleepover! And Kyle, being the only of something qualifies you as weird. And don't think of Connie like that! Uh, Mom, Connie's Selina's little sister."
Angel hung up, relayed the address, and grabbed some clothes and books while Angel's mother informed her father of the new development. They headed out, Angel realizing that she wasn't tired at all. Hm. Transforming from Nuriel to my normal form seems to be quite restful. Far more than it would be if I was fully cognizant of what she--
"So...Angel, um...I thought I remembered something you had said before you mentioned the sleepover and such."
"Spending time with Selina tomorrow?"
"No, before that...being the...Nuriel person?"
"Oh. Yeah, that is me..."
"Um...do you have to do that?"
"I guess...you know what Ben Parker said, right?"
"I knew I'd rue the day I approved that birthday gift..."
"The Marvel encyclopedia has provided an amusing diversion from my typical nonfiction."
"Well, yes, but...you're five years old! A five-year-old shouldn't be going about, blowing up houses--"
"I didn't blow it up."
"--Still, though--"
"I was trying to stop the ones who did."
"...What?"
"There's a bunch of magical alien things invading. I need to help stop them."
"..."
"Mother, stop sign..."
"...You're telling me that you are planning to risk your life against these--"
"Mom, they need everyone they can!"
"It's a problem for the military, not a bunch of little girls!"
"Everyone else is older than me!"
"...Selina's one of them, too, isn't she?"
"Um, no!"
"Angel, you are many things, but you are not a good liar."
"...Okay. Yeah, she's magic too."
"Why am I letting you sleep over at her house? For all I know, you're planning to just go off and fly away to some suicidal mission combating--you are, aren't you?"
There was a pause. Angel felt uncomfortably warm all over. She wondered briefly what was going on, then recognized the feeling from recently.
"I'm blowing this popsicle stand. Whatever that's supposed to mean."
Nuriel grabbed Angel's things, tugged on the car door's handle, unlocked the door, tried to hop out, undid the seatbelt, smacked Angel's mother, and finally leapt out into the night.
After trying three houses, Nuriel went to the correct house.
"Hey, Selina. I think Angel might be in trouble tomorrow. 'Sup with your 'rents?"
((Stupid half-dozen ninjas!))

Pout at Steve. Leave the room without talking to him, and try to find the Armory Master.
"Can I pretty please have a, um, suit, and something to play with heat and light? What would that kinda stuff me? Where could I get it? Why do you have that...being quiet now."
