It's a bit long, and at that time, I was having to go past a giant wall of text as I was getting to the bottom of the page.I had to read over 300 posts to make it.
Kyle taps Angel on the shoulder before leaning in to whisper in her ear."Huh? He isn't? Do you know why?"
"I can tell you she isn't a man."
<Drop something from orbit, there's going to be an explosion.><Seeing as his reasoning was for large enemy units, a low density non-explosive unit may work.>"Really, with the people we have present, a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System would probably be easier to create and more efficient.""Orbital bombardment systems come in low-collateral-damage models?"
<I'm a bit confused on the nature of this problem you're worried about...><I suppose the issue with either option is that they require duplication which could be an issue.>[To: Will] <Actually, I just prefer having more redundancy since a centralized server is vulnerable to the effects of incompetence and idiocy.><What do you want? Backup servers? I can do that. I just need Selina to make more parts...well, and I need to make more photocopies of the original plans.>
Hey GWG, mind putting your IC post in a Spoiler, please?Why?
She had to get a friend to hold it flip pages for her. She couldn't really do that to program.She has good friends.
"A juice for the lady." he calls to the bartender who nods. "We were just discussing tactics for tomorrow, and that, if you don't mind, Ada will be sharing a room with you.""It's okay. What tactics were we talking about?"
C looks dejected, but seems to be listening. Angel can feel his disappointment.
"Anyway, the situation as it stands, is that assuming the slime dies or is forced to withdraw tomorrow, I am going to have clones made of any of you who die, memories as intact as they are now, along with setting you all up comfortably after the battle. Unless you're the winner in which case you already will be comfortable. That's how much money I'm going to make if I win." He pauses for a moment. "Any questions?""Thanks!"
"Excellent, Angel, do you more or less understand what's going on? And what are plans are for tomorrow.""I think so?"
"I would like to know who Cullodus is but noooo"I'll see if I can find out who Cullodus is."
You've been dead for years C I doubt that anyone you know would recognize you.
"I'm not sure how far back your memories go, but no one's said uncouth in a serious sentence for generations."((I say words like that all the time! Well, fairly often.))
Wait, what?I could feasibly wrestle a dragon right now. I have 8 strength less than a Great WyrmI can and will murder you with dragons.Sure, why not? It can't possibly make things any more complicated than they are.Challenge accepted..
Oh good. Muahahahahaha, spiderbold is go!Spiderbold, spiderbold, does what ever a spider's told...
Although, looking at climb, it says that anything with a climb speed gets a +8 racial bonus to climb checks. Huh. Man, DnD is confusing.Not so much "confusing" as "contradictory".
On a note completely unrelated to incoming packrat tendencies, is it possible to nest bags of holding? I know that mixing them with portable holes is bad juju, but I don't think I've ever read anything about loading up a BoH and putting it inside another one (or a Haversack).RAW, nothing happens.
AKA the Poor Man's Handy Haversack.Fair enough. I can always just buy a few mules.On a note completely unrelated to incoming packrat tendencies, is it possible to nest bags of holding? I know that mixing them with portable holes is bad juju, but I don't think I've ever read anything about loading up a BoH and putting it inside another one (or a Haversack).
I can promise you that it will end badly.
Avatar StatsHuh. I can't wait to catch up.
Go to the Warrens!((A meta-aware suggestion game where the main character gets killed in the first chapter and eventually gets revived as a girl who uses bloodshaping.))((I see. How interesting.))
Demons Run goes for awalkflightjog...
...
She goes out.
To do things.
And explore the city.
Because bored.
((Would've been nice to be reminded Will was a programmer/had worked on this before.Not much but his power helps a lot (especially since he's met AIs), and yes.
I guess the floor is yours?))I'm waiting for an in-depth explanation until Will actually assembles the device and explains it to the others. Acceptable?
>No. They are free of their physical body and therefore their brain, are they not? Cognitive dysfunctions would not apply.<What about psychologically-induced things? Mental trauma, rather than physical? Would it...fix that part of their mind/soul, or what?
She shrugs, which is Elf's way of saying "You can control her for now, go nuts!".Wouldn't Cado be a better Tabella?
And that's why you shouldn't give Kyle huge amounts of money.That and giant robots.
Or he could ask GWG to make it up.With Elf's permission. (And once I get that I'd probably be PMing scapheap...)
<Well thats the thing, I'm stuck. I can talk with everyone and send images, but I can't leave. I'm connected to Selina's subconscious or something so if I leave she loses a good portion of her brain activity, which would result in possible death and instantaneous death from many girlfriends and the angry Abracky dude.>You've had 11 pages since this post. If no one's tried to get Selina to Conny/Hestia/whoever, I will smack you all over the Internet.
While HK-47 is carrying it, it becomes sentient!...I am underwhelmed. I was hoping for something neat and plotty.
"Oi, lad! Watch where ye hand lay!"
It suddenly has an eye patch over its right eye and has a mouth!
((Well, I have no idea what sort of other entities she usually summons, so she'll just end up summoning a bunch of ferret cats, people in skintight garments, explosive magical circles and various other profile avatars.))I'm pretty sure she's about as limited as Selina.
Meme is still waiting outside of Angel's house as she rings the door bell again.GWG was probably still busy with assorted family/snow/etc things. Or behind on over a hundred replies. (See below.)
Selina didn't have her bracelet on due to falling asleep in the blankets, still without clothes, after the cold bath experience....Was this really the best idea? Wouldn't clothes keep her warmer?
This girl knew Sen's identity. How the hell did she know Sen's Identity?Excellent question!
((Heh, I remember the last time this happened.))Indeed...
((Great thing about paper mastery: If things go wrong instant release of the paper to prevent damage))Unless you already caused damage, of course...
...where she was too ill to be allowed to use a laptop.How is someone too sick to use a laptop and not too sick to read books? Just block 4chan and you should be fine.
"Oh, oh! What about Kyle? How are things between him and Conny? And him and Tabella? Or Maria?"Great, a telepath.
((Marie had tentacles and I don't know what she did with the mermaid she was massaging.))Eh. Funny.
"How exactly would I be of use? Pointing out more efficient ways to handle such matters?""I'd complain about taking my job, but really there should be enough for both of us."
"Oh come now, we both know from working with each other that we're the best for building weapons of mass destruction on the team.""...and that you're the worst at figuring out if something is practical. Powered armor? Wouldn't it be easier to make a remote-controlled combat drone?"
<Hey Conny, if Kyle wanted to get into a relationship with Maria and Tabella what would you say?>
"Really, with the people we have present, a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System would probably be easier to create and more efficient.""Orbital bombardment systems come in low-collateral-damage models?"
"Yeah but we don't have any way to get it into orbit. Other wise I would have suggested something along those lines just for the fact that I could make a big red button. If we make a giant robot we could travel in style as well as stop really big crimes.""A: Yeah, we do. Multiple teleporters, uncountable fliers, a few geniuses and you...
<And Selina is fine with him wanting to see Maria. I'll be sure to relay this info to him.><Is Maria? It seems you should have checked with her before asking Selina permission...>
"Personal experience has told me that the right bullets or bullet equivalents in the right vital organs tend to be more effective.""Advice to live by. Or kill by, at least."
Kyle ends the hug and smiles at Ashley."Aside from not asking permission before sleeping wi--sleeping alongside Tabella."
"I attained a higher degree of mastery over my persona, can teleport through TVs, I nearly killed two kidnappers and saved Tabella, and I stopped a bank robbery. All in all I've been good."
Kyle's quick to point something out.Will punches Kyle.
"Not Will."
"Also Nuriel I'm fairly certain tried to corrupt me. A bit bitter about that.""And yet you slept with her willingly. And...Conny, I'm guessing?"
"Please, you know you like a big smart guy in armor."Initiate Facepalm!
Kyle flexes and makes show of showing off to Ashley as a joke. Maybe.
"I've seen it. It's a mech.""There's not a firm boundary between the two, Kyle. I'd call it more...mechanized armor.
"No, it's a result of realizing we could totally do it and no one would give a damn.""Because mecha are pointless and stupid without some kind of paranatural phenomenom involved in creation. You know, paralloys, maybe some direct enchantments or the like, why am I encouraging you..."
Alfred walks in. "I'm done already, I had no business here anyway.""See you, Alfred. See you, Cyrielle. Try to keep your bracelet on; it's a pain being the only sane person around."
<...and seeing as I have now stated that on an open channel, I probably won't have much of a chance with him--><Yes, I'm sure that openly admitting your love was all that is keeping you from dating an ancient immortal void spirit.>
[Failure to specifically note that it is a private channel, giving me an excuse:] >The former.<<You and Cyrielle are having a conversation? Neat. I bet that would be interesting.>
Meme gets Momo to slowly go to sleep before dressing in a nice white dress and went to visit Angel's house! She also brought some cookies for them in a bag. When she got to the door, she jumped a couple times to hit the door bell."Coming!" Angel's father comes to the door.
Maria decides to recruit Albrecht and Conny into her efforts because why not.But not Will because apparently a superpower perfectly suited to this kind of thing isn't important.
<So... if anyone is interested, Selina fell asleep in the bath.> Not!Selina is bored.<Any danger of her...drowning?>
[To: Will] <Actually, I just prefer having more redundancy since a centralized server is vulnerable to the effects of incompetence and idiocy.><What do you want? Backup servers? I can do that. I just need Selina to make more parts...well, and I need to make more photocopies of the original plans.>
<Yo! Guys, I almost forgot that I offered to take you all down to Atlantis didn't I? You guys want to get into bathing suits and meet me at the beach so I can take you?><*sigh* My project's never getting completed, is it? Sure, why not?>
"Okay."Will shows up in a bathing suit I don't feel like describing. It's blue?
Kyle takes something out of his pocket. It seems to be a dully glowing sand dollar made of gold. He looks at it a moment before chucking it in the ocean.
"Well, it should be here in about the time it takes most of us to react."
Suddenly a wave comes and swallows everyone up. It would seem that merpeople don't approve of smoking.Will sees it coming and holds his breath before calmly being swept to Atlantis.
Kyle starts doing tricks in the water. He seems to be having fun. And also he's breathing somehow. Maybe it has to do with the tickling on necks of all the people who are currently going to Atlantis."Neat."
It's going to be a while before they get to Atlantis. And it would seem that the humans and others who need to breath are slowly gaining gills. Their hands are also start becoming better suited to water.Will's demonic arm seems to be fighting the latter. He leaves trails of smoldering webbing in his wake.
The rest of the mermaids cheer and lead them to the first stop. Giant statues of various sea gods. The slower talking mermaid starts explaining that this is where they pray when they need stuff."Could I get a demonstration?" Given the world he grew up on, Will is a bit suspicious of any god who doesn't manifest to commit/stop crime or something.
"We use sand dollars, like this.""...Aren't those living animals? Are there people who breed money?"
She pulls out a sand dollar like the one Kyle had before.
Bluh, bluh, the people in the ocean are probably at the restaurant by now after a shopping spree courtesy of Kyle. they've made great time despite someone holding them up due to possible tentacle [mother making].Will tries to enjoy himself and nimbly avoids the tentacles.
Well, all the laptops were water proof at least.((Ooh.))
Blah blah, everyone gets sent back with loads of souvenirs and left overs. Kyle eventualy takes Cyrielle back to her home."I expected to stay longer. If I had paid in more than 20 minutes of hunting for little mollusks, I'd feel embarrassed."
-snip-((L33t.))
(Pretty damn high, unless Cyrielle or Kyle helps program it.)((What, not Will?))
((Okay, what would the roll be for Cyrielle to make the schematics?))((Spoiler alert: Will already basically did that. He just needs Selina to pull the parts out.))
((What sort of programming language would they even use? Uploading entire thoughts onto a mental network isn't something most languages are designed to handle.))((Which is why Will's plan was basically to make a "mind" to set everything in. Much like when people "enter" one another's minds.))
((How does the mind transfer work?))((In my headcanon, it works kinda like a multiplayer video game. The mind people are going to is the "server," and it sends signals to anyone "entering" the mind. Similarly, the person "in" the mind sends signals to the "server" mind, which allows the "server" to make changes to signals sent out as appropriate.))
Kyle looks around a bit before he decides to just lay down with Tabella. He somehow gets his shirt off and then gets in bed with her.((Because this is kinda hilarious:))
<Has anyone seen Tabella? I need to apologize to her for kind of being half naked in her bed when she woke up.><Seriously, what the hell?>
<She was hugging me and she looked really cute when she was asleep so I just took off my shirt and got in bed!><Good God, Kyle, do you ever think?>
Many pancakes are made, and Qi sets out plates for Meme and anybody else who wants some.Will joins the breakfast club.
<Conny, I have some idea on how to create the server, really, the programming would be similar to that of an online game. The issue is, that isn't the sort of programming I do. Hence I'm of little use for this matter.><I'm working on something like that already, actually. I just need Selina to provide the parts. Speaking of which...Selina, are you available to do so?>
<Nothing, I am merely informing you that it may be unfeasible. Especially because bracelets may not even have machine code to compile to.>((Heh. I'm explaining the OOC above IC.))
"Right, now we just need to take it out and figure out how to integrate it into every bracelet.""You're going about this the wrong way. Look, if Selina pulls out the components I sketched, I can assemble something that works with no modifications to the bracelets needed."
HK-47 wanders in wearing an apron.Will is restraining an unkind statement about Kyle.
"Master Kyle would agree that both of you are very beautiful Mistress Cyrielle."
"That was humor relating to the tabletop RPG Dungeons and Dragons.""Neither have I. It must not have existed in my world. Is it more like Final Fantasy or Diablo?"
