> Faite is likely amused that for the first time, one of the Parodyverse's biggest villains cursed her name at the end.

At least someone had a good day then.

> Liu Xi believes the void that she manipulates is some sort of magical energy that makes up the foundation and glue of the Parodyverse. That's as much as Xander likely taught her, though he didn't have much experience with it either since the gift is so rare.

We'll perhaps visit this again another time, but for now...

Since this was a round robin, and there's a tradition in PV round robins that Wang the Conquerer a.k.a. Kink the Conquerer shows up somewhere in them, I felt this might be a good time to debut his ultimate incarnation as the master of comic-book limbo, the Void Scholar.

I see the scholar as a whole lot smarter and more devious than Wang, who mostly got played for comedy. Towards the end though Wang fell in love, founded a city, even had kids (one of whom was Kinki, mother of Al's twins). He was evolving, and vanishing into comic-book limbo at the end of his last appearance seemed like the next step.

If there is a link between the Scholar and Liu Xi then it could well be a family one. As a time manipulator, the Scholar could be anything from Liu Xi's grandfather to family founder twenty centuries ago. Why he would want to breed a line that would eventually bring forth a full-blown elementalist is another question.

If there's no family link the Scholar would still be interested in Liu Xi. She may have a new adversary.

> She also is going to have a lot to come to terms with since she'll have a hard time verifying that this Jay is the real thing.

That's a scene we need on record.

> Lara got to explode something. It's been a very, very long time since she's had to do that, and there's good reason she doesn't like to. Yes, I know that doesn't make much sense until I dig more into her past.

The other question is how did she feel about the tough choice she had to make - blow up a city to save a world.

> Oh, and it sounds like Samantha Featherstone may be in love.

She thinks not. It's not in her plan.

> More comments if I think of them, but for now I have to get back to rescuing the server.

Jolly good.
