    He feels it all and remembers. He's been tortured a lot, though.


Lara hasn't really been tortured, and probably wouldn't take it well.



    Quote:
    That, and the world's best known spy announcing himself by his actual name.


The irony would be real-world Keiko being paid a mint to kill him, because he's so easy to find.



    Quote:
    If I ever do the plot I'll make sure there's a 24-hour build up period so they have a chance to interact with the problem. And then there's the question of where consciousness "goes" when a person is comatose. Do androids dream of electric sheep?


That would be a gradual collapse of powers and tech. Powers all at once, maybe, tech much slower.



    Quote:
    There are some heroes who already work at skills that aren't related to their powers: Hatman, for example, regularly trains in unarmed combat. Others, like CSFB!, are so intimately linked to their powers as to be almost inseperable. Those latter people might struggle most in the scenario we're considering.


I think I mentioned in some story about Chiaki and Hatman exchanging training.



    Quote:
    All of those are good examples. The problem comes because our view of combat is mostly drawn from stunt and CGI-enhanced movie rendtions of a stylised scene rendered for entertainment. Even live-action boxing and wrestling are articially constrained by rules. Relatively few people have seen real combat and fewer still have taken the time to spectate during it.


There's usually no time.

    And in turn allows her to reflect on her choices, on her probably future etc. And to segue into any flashback memory of your choosing.


She'd probably initially become scared about not being able to go home, then regret her coming to the PV at all, and then resign to "maybe it's not so bad, staying here", but still be kind of depressed about it. Like a flying creature whose had its wings clipped, and now has to live as a pet.



    Quote:
    The way I'd structure it is with a small group of time-lost travellers trying to work out what's happened and the rest of the cast coping - or struggling to cope - in the present day. It's the equivalent of the storyline where some heroes have to heroically hold the fort while others have to get away and call the cavalry - two different kinds of heroism.


They won't be expecting the Spanish Inquisition, though.
