Subj: They were really medium-sized revelations, really. Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 at 08:48:56 pm EST (Viewed 2 times) | Reply Subj: Enough about the Fake Man, let's talk about Part 30's big revelation(s)! Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 at 06:28:53 pm EST (Viewed 396 times) | ||||||
Quote: Quite the different pace in this one at first. Very much enjoyed seeing things from Kahn Vaantagion Khaur's perspective. Well, he got one spotlight story, kind of. Then the big name star came in and stole the spotlight anyway. Quote: It was also interesting to see the Hooded Hood act in such a direct way in the first flashback scene. We usually don't get to see that. Given how much the Parody Master insulated his people from the Hooded Hood there wasn't a great range of options for the Hood to take. And this is only a couple of months before the Hood's fist fight with the PM. Quote: Nice snippets into the rest of the battle. Hatman's way of dealing with the Apostate was a smart move. Though it seemed a little too easy for me to be comfortable with it being the actual end (I've read too many UT's for that) so I'm still slightly worried. Quite right. The Apostate is back in our very next chapter - and this time it's personal! Quote: I quite enjoyed the little chat between Liu Xi and Kahn. I'd forgotten she was Exu's lover, amongst other things. And the revelation that Xander also had a hand in this was also intriguing. One day I'd like to see Xander and the Hood go at it toe-to-toe so to speak. Noted. Quote: And thus the other big revelation, that everything really revolves around a love story between the Nexus of Unreality and...a...Bog Thing?Well, not everything; just enough so that spiffy can be blamed. As for the lovely Zemo triplets, we've known for a long time that whichever of their offspring survived longest inherited the destiny to be an ancestor of the Celestian Madonna. Since Suicide Blonde died and Exile was, well exiled from candidacy, G-Eyed is the lucky winner. Then there was that incident with Laurie and Dr Loveray. Quote: Well, it was a lovely song all the same so who am I to judge. *totally judges* Don't be plantist. Quote: At this point we could have done with your updated family chart? Presumably you will share it in the next pulse-pounding concluding issue? You may have to wait till the next full issue for that. There are still spoilers on it. Quote: So the three lovely Zemette sisters One was. Quote: Quote: And the third sister, Maladucta, she was with… a Harper offspring? How did Al’s kids…? Never mind, she bore Bambi, the Suicide Blonde, who controlled matter.Quote: Wait..saywhatnow? Quote: I'm a granddad! Yay! *ahem* I mean...Cody - you are so grounded! As the chart makes clear, there are at least four possible candidates for impregnating Maladucta. Kara and Kyza are 23rd century girls; they have the technology to knock someone up if they want to. And then there's Kyza's alternate-timeline male counterpart whom we discussed a short while ago. Quote: Anyway. Godspeed Liu Xi Xian! Indeed. Quote: So I guess Buckland, at least, isn't a direct descendant of our Finny, given it's probably not possible for an Abyssal Ghoul to procreate? Perhaps just a distant relation?Possibly so. Quote: Anyway - for this story are these dates correct?Quote: 1552: everybody is converging on the tomb of Visionatus Improbablus - or is it merely the place that will yet become the tomb of him at this point?Quote: 1622(?): Blow-Ye-The-Trumpets-In-Sion Aivry rescues Black Helen the Greenhag from the clutches of Justiciar Humbolt Vernold. I hope that was also 1552. I picked the year because it is easy for me to remember (the year my old school was founded). It may be 1553 at the Tomb by now, though, because Sion and Helen have had an awful lot of adventures and have even sailed the Atlantic. But if I got the years wrong, the timeslips in the tunnels award all the no-prizes. Quote: A bit later still(?): The Improbable College first visit the tomb of Visionatus.Someone graffitied it around 330 years before present. Father Septimus' voyage took place in 1702 or thereabouts, as I recall without checking my notes. The College gained access to the Second Tome at that time, the one Vizh left in the Tomb earlier. Quote: 1772(?): The Improbable College recruit Avrogadrus del Lune, Captain Biancaneve, and Fredrego the butchers boy. (Who are actually Al B., Yuki and Ham-Boy either living as ancestors or other-live versions of the same people). Quote: Quote: Probably not something we want to think about too much really. Quote: Except... comic books!Quote: Exactly. But as we both know the letter hacks are out there pondering all this and will write in. If six people are out there reading this I'll be mildly surprised. Quote: Quote: Yes, the tunnel transition sent them back to meet Chokohontas, who is from that earlier period. So clearly they're all back in 1552-ish now.Quote: So Chokohontas and her beavers are from 1552. Yep. At that time, Sacred Island is an Indian Burial Ground, but already there is a fort and stockade over the Sound to the north. Quote: Order and Chaos rule equally in the Parodyverse. One part gets sorted - another part jumps out to bamboozle just as quick. Indeed. Quote: I blame the Hooded Hood for a good part of it. And Xander the Improbable. Well, both play long games, that's for sure. Quote: Quote: Indeed.But it became clear that was the last chapter of the issue, not of the story.Quote: The story is never going to end, you may as well accept that. I may need to do one big lump of a final issue to club it to death, if time allows. Tomorrow I have to take Rhi back to university, though. Quote: Quote: Yikes! You really are going to try to fit EVERYONE in. Quote: There is room for at least one more interferer with an unfinished plotline, anyhow.Quote: Was that the one just posted or is there more to come in #31?No, we have another player who has not previously appeared in this run of stories yet. And of course the mystery master-villain. Quote: OK maybe the bottle is the bottle of Shoggoth mentioned in the latest part. Noted. Quote: Quote: Has Rhiannon worked it out yet?Quote: Not all of it. And she still doesn't know who the big baddie behind it all is.Quote: Well then what hope is there for the rest of us!I'Ve read her tomorrow's chapter so now she knows. | |||||||
