I haven't even been hiding the fact that Vidic was the one from assassin's creed.

I didn't get the reference.

Fine, you can have your Abstergo expy. No Templar vs Assassin shit though.

I want to call bullshit because of the magic mafia.

Magic mafia because crime, not because free will. I'm also assuming there isn't any Abstergo/Abstergo expies because none of you have discussed one in detail and Scap never said anything.

It could.

1000 point base anyone?

Actually, you never mentioned that.

A shadow falls over all those present. A vast, dark shadow, cast by a looming, towered shape.
Looking up, a massive form, like a cross between a tortoise, a citadel and a Colossus. Tiny shapes swarm around it, each a vast bird.
The vast maw opens, and a terrifying roar sounds forth.

Also, Alex is a FLESHCRAFTING MASTER.

Alex is no such thing.

He couldn't have sent, like, an avatar instead of doing that? Or, you know, assumed that being a GIANT MONSTER would get someone to hand their friend over to them?

Alex will refrain from being socially... "special" the day the Headmistress brings Vornar back and confesses her everlasting love.

...the bit where Alex is literally hardwired into Packbit.

Why did he do that, anyways?

Partially overenthusiasm, partially because controlling a giant fucking Fortress Tortoise is pretty hard otherwise.

1. Never mentioned Alex.
2. He made a giant monster to suit himself inside. And he isn't skilled at it. What.
3. I understand THAT bit, but why couldn't he have done it more subtly? Instead of blasting down an entire wall of a hotel.

Basically, it was from the RPG "Rise of the Magical Girls", though I suppose a more accurate and appropriate name would be "Vague Sauntering of Idiosyncratically Empowered Entities". Almost every single character's magical form and normal form had different personalities, the only exception being Catherine who only chnages outfits and Cyrielle who just becomes completely psychopathic.

Demons Run was @Ragnarok's character's magical form, a sealed eldritch primordial who is more or less God.

And Richard, who doesn't have one. Or Conny, who's a Fae.

but Alex could have just WALKED THROUGH THE INN instead of using a giant monster to scare the ever-loving crap out of everyone.

Maybe you missed the bit where Alex has just been re-united with most beloved child after long absence and the bit where Alex is literally hardwired into Packbit.

Or kidnapping his mates.

Well after a normal request to meet the individual in question was met with lies and a hostile wyvern, Alex was not in the "ask politely" mood.

Or, you know, doing something that stupid while he was still pissed off about Isaac.

Medea nodded. She was in a state of incomprable bliss.

"So it won't happen. Eh."
Corvus shrugs and continues reading his book.

---

"I did."
[Counter-roll, 100 and no, I did not make this up.] Richard vanishes anyway!

---

"Hey, I dunno why this time."

Hey, he assumed you were going to hurt Chansey. When a GIANT FUCKING MONSTER asks to see them, you don't think 'DIPLOMACY', you think 'BASTARD GONNA EAT MY FRIEND'.

And then you lift them into a tortoise citadel, essentially kidnapping them.

....yeah, Richard could have been less of a dick*, but Alex could have just WALKED THROUGH THE INN instead of using a giant monster to scare the ever-loving crap out of everyone.  Or kidnapping his mates. Or, you know, doing something that stupid while he was still pissed off about Isaac.

*Heh pun.
