Quote: Quote: I'm not sure we've ever really mapped Galactivac's origin or purpose in the Parodyverse.Quote: Usually something like Galtivac would have to be there to balance something out. At least originally, before something changed his path.In the Marvel Universe, Galactus is considered to be the balancing force between Life and Death. I'm not sure that really works there; I'm even less convinced for the Parodyverse, where life and death tend not to be the dominant poles anyhow. Quote: Quote: That switch is pulled.Quote: 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.That would be nice, wouldn't it? Quote: 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. Quote: He could also smash things. That works sometimes.Just ask the Hulk. Quote: Quote: It certainly suggests possibilities to [the Doomherald].Quote: It'll be tough for him to be detached and philosophical about Liu Xi keeping him alive, though.I didn't actually plan to bring him back. His appearance and his persistence were both somewhat of suprises to me. That happens sometimes with my PVB stories. Quote: Quote: For all his immense current power, H9 is still a somewhat socially-inept teen of about Liu Xi's age. Quote: 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.Well, Aella is 13, so she's not really in H9's "hot girl" category yet. And he thinks he knows a lot more things than her. Quote: 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.I'd have pegged Lara as the young TA Quote: 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.But she's not trying to get the band back together. Quote: 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!Quote: 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.Jolly good. Quote: 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. Quote: 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.I wasn't really planning on covering any ramifications of her Exu-matter. I assume that her powers eventually metabolise it to be entirely her as they would any other material she ingests or repurposes; it just might take longer because it is rather distinctive. Quote: 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.Quote: 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.A God of Murder might be hard to fit into that description. Quote: 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.There are some other potential criteria, as well: being worshipped; being self-created; being pre-eminently cognisant; possibly being formed of belief; possibly accessing some divine power source not available to other beings. Quote: Quote: He is definitely the Kevin Bacon of the Parodyverse.Quote: Did he have giant worms dig up his house, too?Almost inevitably. His old Condo was half-buried after beaver attacks (I think) and his Lighthouse is infested with Doom Hamsters, so the worms will have to take a number. | |||||||
