Roll To Dodge / Re: The Infinite Heavens: Tourist Trap

((...huh, I completely missed that somehow. That's odd. Whoops.))

"The hell is that? Some sort of magical barrier or somesuch?"

No, we got an extra 10 power points, which is enough for most of the equipment pieces (but just one) or an extra 100% boost in something or other.

EDIT: I've edited the Embrace - I added the SKILL-boosting thing and shifted the boost over to SKILL, which according to my math gives me an effective SKILL of 26 when in the thing. I think that gives me an extra 13% in each boost due to the SKILL boosting the effectiveness of it. Am I right there?

3933
...hmmm. Gonna have to consider that some more then, especially considering that I could theoretically buy a thing that gives me +10 SKILL and the way that SKILL works with Gunmen means that I'd maybe have more of everything that way kinda.
...I can't do the math right now it's 5 am.

3934
Yknow, I actually find it quite hard arguing with the Anti-Spiral since I agree with the thing. I guess it's an excersise in mental flexibility seeing things from another viewpoint.

Also Tömas and the Anti-Spiral could totally be roommates or something since they're basically the same thing, only made out of different types of energy.
...
hmm. PN, would it be alright if I altered the stats of the Embrace a bit since I just realized the thing I'm doing currently isn't doing anything? Specifically I wanna move the +100% from SPEED to SKILL since I actually have points there.

Whatever the answer I'll do it in the morning, bedtime for me.

"I still call bullshit on that claim that happiness was possible under you. I saw the conditions you left earth in - humans contained underground, harried constantly by beastmen, under one million populace all the time or else the entire species would be wiped out, under the reign of a betrayer and madman who ultimately turned against you in the end. Your methods were flawed, and your vision was too.
And I'll die again before I let anti-spiral energy be generated from the crushed hopes of the populace, whether beastman or human. No matter how worthy of extinction the former is, they don't deserve what you had in mind."


Tömas stands up with the limberness of a man a thirtieth his age.

"I'm not even sure why I'm listening to you yap about your so-called greater good anyhow. You're just a washed-up old dustball who was proven wrong in the end. Not even able to do anything but harp on about how things should've been done your way and then everything would've been alright. We'll move in without you."

He tucks the cube into his jacket pocket (I know he's a ghost, shut it it makes sense), seemingly completely ignoring the massive walking hypocrisy his last statement was, and walks off into the night, intent on finding a fight of some sort to distract him until morning.

3936
"I can't comprehend it at all either. It goes beyond just tolerating beastmen in everyday society, which is insane enough by my standards. We all make sacrifices to better ourselves and our homes, that's just what we are, but destroying all that makes you who you are is a whole other level."

Tömas sighs. He's feeling unusually contemplative tonight.

"Did you ever think that you missed the point of it all? Your efforts may have extended the lifetime of the universe but would've made it a place just not worth living in anymore. Is a long but ultimately worthless life worth more than a short but meaningful and enjoyable one?"

Huh, someone's morose and making comparisons of the universe with himself and his existence.

3937
Aww. I guess gaming the system only goes so far :P
Hmm.
Would there be a thing that boosts Resistance?

3938
Ooooooooooh so our Gunmen levelled up too.
...
I should repeat the question: if I got the combiner thingy could I fuse with more than one gunmen at once?

3939
So 50 power, but 10 of it can only be used for the boosts then.
Just to make sure.

3940
"Spiral energy in large quantities has been known to give things sentience, and also create matter. This is my reasoning behind my belief that the Spiral Nemesis creating it."
"Suppose I see the reasoning behind that. The gunmen always seemed to get a bit too responsive when you spent too long in them.

One thing I never understood, though: why did you do what you did? I know why, of course, I was watching, but to stop your evolution, to become still and entropic ... the very thought goes against every fibre of my being, even moreso now that I am what I am. How'd you do it? How did you justify it to yourself?"

3941
So we get to add 10 points worth of one thing to our Gunmen, and after that we have to start subtracting power from it, if I'm reading it right?
...
Would the combination lattice let Tömas combine with 2 other gunmen, considering his ability?

3942
"Anything is. But you said that this ... I suppose they're calling it Nemesis now - was generated by the spiral nemesis itself. Did you mean that it literally was just generated from the amount of Spiral power on the planet, or was it from an alien civilization, or what? Or do you not know and I should just end your existence?"

3943
Tömas is wandering about Kamina City. He's in a back alley somewhere, having stormed out in despondency after realizing he still can't actually drink alcohol. Sitting up against a wall, he looks almost like a regular old man but for the slight blue tinge to him. He's takes out the Anti-Spiral cube thing and holds it in front of his hand, having held onto it.

"Thing. You said that gunmen was generated by the Spiral Nemesis. How?"

3944
BUKI HAD A REALIZATION. I HOPE HE'S WRONG.
'Cause then he'd have to say that Tömas was right :P

3945
Alrighty then, editing char sheet.
