Reply Subj: She did get to briefly visit the Bean and Donut Coffee Bar. That had people. And pastries.

    I'm not sure we've ever really mapped Galactivac's origin or purpose in the Parodyverse.


Usually something like Galtivac would have to be there to balance something out. At least originally, before something changed his path.



    Quote:
    That switch is pulled.


What I mean is, unless something is continuously transmitting the order, eventually the signal might fade. Or there's something continuously transmitting that needs to be shut down.



    Quote:
    Indeed. Galactivac's range of options is really very limited. He could end some planets, a lot of planets, or all the planets. Beyond that he's flailing.


He could also smash things. That works sometimes.



    Quote:
    It certainly suggests possibilities to him.


It'll be tough for him to be detached and philosophical about Liu Xi keeping him alive, though.



    Quote:
    For all his immense current power, H9 is still a somewhat socially-inept teen of about Liu Xi's age. She is way ahead of him in maturity and is a survivor of some serious traumas. In human terms, she's that girl in college who dates older guys and seems way out of Zach's experience or league. The fact that she's always been a bit detached from the Juniors means he's never had a chance to establish any sort of familiar relationship with her. Plus she's Lair Legion, the varsity.


Liu Xi would particularly find it funny that he talks so easily with Aella but is terrified of her - because Liu Xi herself doesn't feel all that intimidating. She's barely 5 feet tall and believes herself to be too quiet.



    Quote:
    I think H9 isn't as bothered by "older women" because he's more distant from them. They're another species. Confident, experienced females of his own age and potential peer group are much harder to cope with.


If you put Lara and Liu Xi to college comparisons, Liu Xi would be a confident freshman, and Lara would be either a recent graduate or a post-graduate. They aren't that far apart in age. The clear difference in behavior is because Lara has practically lived an entire life before she was 20, so she's way more jaded about it now.

For a real-world comparison, Lara would be like a musician or actress who was famous at 16, and burned out by 21, and is now trying to restart her career, albeit more carefully this time.



    Quote:
    I made sure that Liu Xi and the LL are inside a force field battling for their lives against the Purveyors so as to avoid any difficulty. I want to finish this story soon! If Liu Xi, Al B., Vinnie, Hallie, or the Shoggoth had been around when H9 pulled his stunt there would be another chapter at least!


I'll see what I can do with this re-written-4-times tie-in as time allows. It's really clever, if I ever finish it.



    Quote:
    It depends on how the Celestian Plane conjures up flesh housings for the "guides" it manifests. They seem to be perfect duplicates of the original "housings" of the people called - Mumphrey was certainly quick to check out his Madge pretty thoroughly when they were reunited. Is that matter drawn from the Plane of Corposant Fire, which generally supplies that sort of raw creation material (e.g. Ham-Boy's Meat Vision)? Or is it generating new matter altogether, a continuation of the Parodyverse's creation? Or something else?


The reason I said Lara might be concerned if Liu Xi learned to manipulate the fabric of the universe is she always thought it was something static that couldn't be messed with. She would be alarmed if someone could, even if it's a friend.

Partly because she has a strong awareness that it's like a giant rug, and tugging at it can stop space ships from working properly, knock planets or stars out of alignment, etc.



    Quote:
    Also relevant, what is a god made of anyway? This is an even more complicated question re Exu, who was possibly the first Impossibilitum-being in the CSFB! line before taking a career change.


Lara comes from somewhere with a lot of powerful beings, where that question is answered quite clearly: A god is someone with the power to create; Just about anyone with power can destroy, manipulate, and torment.

Note that she has that answer in mind even as some people might see *her* as a god because she has lots of power to destroy.



    Quote:
    He is definitely the Kevin Bacon of the Parodyverse.


Did he have giant worms dig up his house, too?
