<Will, if you do that you will die and anybody trying to stop me will as well. It wont have to be right away. It just has to happen.>
<Alright. There's a witness protection program, you know. And a fucking police. And, by the way, you might have heard the news? Yeah, kill someone who revealed your plans to make a murderous nigh-indestructible person with minimal control and no outside oversight. See how long it takes governments to set up kill orders for magical people.>
(Mutually assured destruction. It's a thing.)

<You wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't try it. If she tries to kill you, just tell Chiron or Hestia.>
<Well excuse me for trying to change a murderous psychopath. And are you saying I have to constantly be on the lookout for Luna trying to kill me, 24/7, so I can warn someone? I'm sorry, but things like sneaking up on people or waiting until I fall asleep exist.>

Quote
<You can't kill anyone efficiently by breaking their bones. You could probably just break her mechanical parts, it is a machine after all. It isn't that only three people who can stop her, it's that three people have the means to stop her without violence.>
<Breaking bones is an excellent way to disable someone. And what mechanical parts are these? All I know about the design is fleshy aerogel, distortion bones, regenerating skin, nearly no bodily systems of any kind.>

Quote
<Presumably? Cutting herself or programming.>
<And you will enforce this...how? Because really, from what I've seen...she doesn't seem the type to forget a grudge.>

Quote
<How would she have access to magic? The only thing that can get through are signals.>
<She already has Selina's magic! NOTHING in your design takes that away.>

>ENOUGH. I will NOT have this happening in my house, you understand? Quit arguing, quit it, quit it!<
Maria sounds somewhat distraught.
<HELL NO. This is a fucking psychopath who has threatened to kill several of us, and you idiots are refusing to put reasonable precautions on her for no reason. I had to argue long and hard just so you didn't make her nigh invulnerable.>

<It won't be in your house. I'm never going back there again because I will never be sure Will isn't there. I'm going to stay here where I know I won't have to listen to verbal abuse no matter how well meaning. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of Will, if he comes to my house he will die!>
<I'm sorry for that and will begin reparations as soon as you stop this insanity!>

"What can I do? What Can I Do?!? I can do many things, Mortal! For example... I am capable of manifesting my mind to help defend myself. I can control minds, as well!
As is evidenced by this form here. This is nothing like my true form..!"

The Hybrid feels like it's finally getting the attention that it deserves.
"What kinds of restrictions are there on this ability?"

((Hey, wolfchild, Will tried to contact Stella.))
[To: Stella] <Hey, can you meet me in front of Kyle's house in a sec? I need muscle if I'm going to stop this madness without Kyle killing me.>

Because Will lost his right to object when he tried to break a facet of Selina with no other alternative attempted first.
Several were, just not by him. She continued to be a psychopath, threatening Richard and such.
And what do you mean, lost his right? Are you saying that they don't like what he did, so they're going to discount all his arguments just because of that, no matter if he's right?

Everyone else trusts her more?
Everyone else trusts the broken fragment of Selina's personality composed of sadism, machoism, and hate, who has threatened to murder multiple people, more than Will? What the hell?
And it's not like he's asking them to lock her up or anything. He's just asking that more redundancy be put into her don't-kill-everyone stuff.

There's a total of seven people who can shut her down immediately. Three authorized, three service providers and one who can just take off the signals unit.
None of which are on Luna's likely-to-kill list, almost all of which are nearly inaccessible.

Everyone else trusts her more?
Oh yeah. And the demon arm thing. We should fix that. But then Will may have to be killed if we don't fix it soon... I suppose it can wait.
Oh, a demonic arm, which has not caused Will to threaten to kill anyone and which he has under control.

8763
<I'll require someone to ask of course. As stated, that would be giving a killswitch to people who are hostile to her, people likely to abuse it. I'm not too sure about Stella, since Luna may be suspicious seeing as she is Will's girlfriend after all. The rest are fine. Not too sure about Selina seeing as she could just remove the transmitter.>
<I'm wounded, and absolutely refuse any situation where I am not given a way to shut down the psychopath who threatened to kill me.>

Quote
<Congratulations on that stellar success by the way. No doubt her threats to kill you in a horrible way along with your nonexistent children is a testament to how much she no longer wants to kill anyone.>
<What, you expect success in five seconds? It takes time to make substantial change. Or any permanent change, really.>

>Acting like a dick to her isn't going to make her think 'oh, okay, I can trust this guy'. You'd think your super sense or something would tell you that, wouldn't it?<
<Look what it did to Kyle. I accidentally made him regret his actions and feel shame for them. I have no intent of making Luna depressed, but I'm pretty sure that what calms the goose will calm the gander, properly adapted.>

Quote
>Also, I can defend myself. I carry around one of the few legendary swords there is and I happen to have been dragged across worlds. I'm sure I can take Selina's evil twin. And she'd be hard-pressed to try to kill you with Stella around.<
<You haven't been paying attention to Cyrielle's specs, have you? Indestructible bones. No vital organs, no blood. No need for fuel. Nothing that lets it be killed. Even if it somehow doesn't continue to be able to use Selina's magic, that would be a huge threat. All the half-dragons and legendary swords in the world couldn't defeat someone with access to Selina's magic and that unkillable body.>
<Besides, having only three people in the entire world who will ever be able to disable our psychopath is just asking for trouble.>

<She'll be hard pressed to kill anyone if she's too busy doing something else for that matter.>
<And what else will she be doing?>

[To: Luna] <Understood.>
<Attention all, The killswitches will be given to myself, Chiron and Hestia with Annie, Wheatley and Alexander capable of disabling it more easily due to the roles they'll play in its contruction but will be advised against it. This is as far as Luna will allow it. If you don't like it, I can do little to appease you.>
<Simple. Don't build the fucking psychopath a body, or put in more fucking kill switches. If you're going to let that psycho out into the world with only half-assed security, I'm not going to stand for it. If I need to, I'll leak to the press that you're letting a magically-powered wannabe serial killer out into the world with absolutely no oversight and barely any ability to stop her if she goes through with her ambitions.>

[To: Stella] <Hey, can you meet me in front of Kyle's house in a sec? I need muscle if I'm going to stop this madness without Kyle killing me.>

[To: Angel] <Care to get out of the house and visit Kyle?>
[To: Will] <I'm grounded!>
[To: Will] <I'm game.>
[To: Nuriel] <I'll let you know if I need you.>

Will goes to the Hybrid.
"Hey, little guy, what can you do?"


8764
Works on Winston.
Anything works on someone who's been tortured enough!

Can Alfred loan Kyle something, have Kyle fail to repay and then have Alfred's ability liquidate Kyle's omnifertility into cash equal to its current market price?
Who would buy that?


Why is everyone except Will opposed to giving more than a few people the killswitch? And why is no one except Will concerned about the durability of Luna's proposed new body?

"That could help...um, trying to remember what Jon said slimy could do. Um...maybe it would be a good idea to have one person attack it at a time, and the others defend themselves and the attacker? That way, he wouldn't be made a lot stronger."

((The reason most commissars use bolt pistols is for the fact that they are loud, powerful, and imposing. They have two main drawbacks, one being weight, the other ammunition. A laspistol has less stopping power, and is less imposing, but it's light, fairly accurate, and the cells can be recharged from almost any power source, including leaving them out in the sun.))
((So what happens if you shoot a laspistol with another laspistol to recharge the first laspistol?
((Depends. But if the Imperium had solar cells that could handle laser fire, there would be much better uses for them. Like spacecraft armor.))

((I'd rather avoid trying to shove other verses' stuff into ER or find a feasible way to adapt it in. That kind of thing has a tendency to come off as sloppy and a bit forced.))
((I think this is more taking inspiration.))

You very carefully place the pollen like thing in a box. You have the feeling that doing un-careful things to said pollen would be a bad idea.
((Is anyone else reminded of Osmosis Jones by this?

...

..Has anyone here but me even seen Osmosis Jones? <_<))
((I did. Once. Many years ago.))

"This is not a should work, I've faced 4 and my shield held against each. When they stay back I have my tomahawk for range. It does more damage then a bullet at the cost of shorter range."
((...Are you intentionally making him dumb or do you honestly think that tomahawks are deadlier than bullets?))
"What do you do when they have an attack that avoids the shield? Acid spit, or spines, or being more than one at a time? And tomahawks cause bleeding, but bullets smash through bones, cause the water and watery tissues to 'ripple', which causes yet more damage to organs and such, and are also more accurate than tomahawks at all ranges."

Quote
"Besides you have guns if it stays back you kill it. I like to get in close to look my enemy in the eye as it dies. To show it the respect it deserves as a warrior."
"I'm not sure if I should contest their status as warriors or point out that survival is higher than respect on my list.

Quote
"I'm 2 months in so my odds are better then yours."
"Still not perfect...especially if you keep up this honor-to-monsters bullcrap."

My complaints are more about the GM's complaints about my actions and whatnot, and my complaints about how he made me a giant golden D for some reason. Oh, and my complaints about him calling me lazy.

OH MY GOD.

I HAVEN'T COMPLAINED ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS.

YOU ARE NOT A GIANT GOLDEN D I NEVER AID YOU WERE SO SHOOSH.

AND I NEVER CALLED YOU LAZY.

ALSO SHIT. MY POINT WITH THE SKILL THING WAS THAT IF WE ADDED A COOLDOWN, I'D WIPE HAVING TO ROLL FOR IT.

BUT WHATEVER. JUST PICK A SPECIAL SPELL TO ADD YOU YOUR CHARACTER SHEET SO WE CAN MOVE ON.
You are denying things you have said, and that I have shown you have said. I'm sick of this. Do you have any idea how close this BS is to making me quit the game?

8771
I vote "not," because doublethink is, as you put it,
fuck logic.

8772
<So...the people who have received death threats are unable to protect themselves. Great.>

<And since you didn't notice, I was, quote, 'being an asshole' in an attempt to get her to stop wanting to kill us.>

8773
The inner party act as if they know that BB isn't omnipotent, but thanks to doublethink they don't actually know and they believe that BB is omnipotent because fuck logic.
Those last three words are why I say that the Inner Party is aware of Big Brother's lack of existence. They're like those people who lead crazy, exploitative cults.

8774
>Will, if you're so afraid of that, then why don't we divide the reins between Selina and Hestia? There, someone she can't live without and someone she'd be hard pressed to actually kill.<
<Why are you all so intent on only having a few people have the ability to deal with her? That's just asking for trouble.>

<Actually, the distortions will be protected from anti-magic by Alexander's selective antimagic fields, so I suppose he has a pseudo killswitch as he could just make it more indiscriminate.>
<One: How exactly is that working, again? Two: Seriously, what do you have against giving all of us kill switches? Exceptions made for Meme and others without proper maturity to use it.>

<Right, because she's so ungrateful for being able to fulfill her masochistic desires.
Makes sense.>

<And what about her sadistic or vengeful desires? Or have you forgotten the multiple death threats she has given?>

<Will, your previously outlined reasons assumed that being asleep would cause issues, which they won't seeing as I often respond to bracelet conversations whilst still asleep. Along with the risk of incapacitating the people involved. Good luck incapacitating a god-like being, someone on another continent and aspects of an eldritch constant.>
<Will you be actively watching when asleep? Or are you going to require that we tell you to disable Luna? And, again, why not just give us all killswitches?>

8775
Kyle isn't a fertility god, he has a fertility-god-like fertility. If he was a fertility god, he would have control over it. (He would also have several other traits.)
And, really, we could just say "basically everyone except most of Elf's and GWG's characters".
Eh, you get my drift. Though I'm pretty sure that other people have character that are entirely or partly sane.
"Basically".

Wait, you think the Party doesn't love BB and consider him omnipotent?
The Inner Party is fully aware of what they're doing. Outer Party, sure.
The Inner Party probably doublethinks about Big Brother; they know he isn't omnipotent, omniscient, or real, but they believe he is.

Cyrielle, Camille and Stella would like to take you up on that. Probably.
True, she hasn't been around enough for us to tell, and which one.
