Subj: Death is a very inadequate ending from the Hood's persepctive.

Reply Subj: I don't think the Hooded Hood could come up with such a limited plan that lead to such a simple choice.

Dead enemies can't suffer the knowledge of their absolute failure.

    It's really a shame that we've never had a story where someone wants to make Vizh his bride.

    I'm not 100% sure that this is accurate, but thankfully I can't think up any specific stories. But to flip this around, you hardly ever see Sorcy or Liu Xi turned into weasels either, so we all have our niches.


Sad but true.


    Quote:
    Truth be told, however, I was actually talking about Lara having to choose how to help her friends, not Liu Xi dealing with her latest proposal.


Vizh has already had to face this dilemma quite a bit, and it's no great secret that he tends to go with the "save them" option every time. Jason tends to play Lara as a bit more strategically - and even emotionally - detatched, which makes her choices a lot more unpredictable.

    I'm setting a few things up for the new LL to deal with. The trio of villains in this storyline are part of it.



    Quote:
    The trio in question being Thugos, Slithis and this Ultra-Doomwraith? And will they be lining up in an orderly fashion and waiting their respective turns?


No, the third is the person who actually was able to murder Exu for Slithis.


    Quote:
    And shouldn't those three be more than just "a part of" what the LL needs to deal with?


What they're doing is really a B-plot. The Hooded Hood has some plans as well.

    Well, proper warm-ups do prevent injury.


We'll see.

    What this problem really needs is a diplomatic mission to Apocalyspe.



    Quote:
    Yes, because Thugos really seems the type to prefer peaceful resolution to differences...


That's what makes a diplomatic mission story fun.
