Quote: I suspect that Yuki's P.I. instincts keep her off-camera as much as possible. Besides, I needed her to call out the Shoggoth and get a bit deeper with him than we often go.She does keep off-camera as much as possible, because she often ends up punching reporters for being obnoxious after she tells them to go away. The Shoggoth scene was really "her", though, because she asked a question nobody asked before. And she probably wondered to herself why no one asked before. Quote: It's not just the worry of him maybe being a bad person, it's that an innocent child whom he likes and who has previously liked him (they've even had an adventure together) might spot it and change her mind about him.In that case, Liu Xi could have mentioned that Magweed isn't afraid of her - even though since she killed that first guy when she discovered her powers, she hasn't been sure since if she would be considered evil. Additionally, Magweed isn't afraid of the Shoggoth. Or Lara, who's killed more than one person. Or Faite, who's incredibly secretive and her history and motives are unknown. Quote: The Shoggoth is a great cgaracter to use for laughs, but it works best like that because he can have a profound and serious side. Of the current team, Yuki is probably the most likely to ask out-of-the-box questions of him, especially if she's upset.Like I said above, she probably wondered why no one ever asked that before. She tends to think a lot on those terms. Quote: Of course, in a comic-book world there are all kinds of ways people get resurrected, especially villains, but the Shoggoth's power to make any change of that kind is strictly limited to Lovfecraftian means - a horror story ready to happen. A character with the ability to bring everyone who dies easily back to life would destroy any tension from narrative consequences.Probably if the Shoggoth resurrects someone, it won't just break that person. It would break the entire universe in subtle ways that would be discovered as a horror later on. That's similar to the reason Faite will often refuse to bring someone back. It does some serious damage. Quote: Good catch. His plans are not complete.Noted? Quote: A relocated Wonderwall would be a useless Wonderwall, just like moving a security fence to stop it being vandalised. But really, since the item forms the barrier between the Parodyverse and the Big Elsewhere it is pretty much immune to everything (unless the narrative needs it to be otherwise). The focus is probably off that particlar maguffin for a bit, Next up is whispering file rooms and the world of trouble that prefigures.I was thinking more outside the box than that. There's also "relocating" the Wonderwall by changing the orientation between it and the universe. Only a few degrees of change would make it hard to find again. | |||||||
