Quote: The only way the press meeting could have gone worse would have been if Yuki would have been there and smashed one of the cameras as well. The reasons I paired G-Eyed with CSFB! instead here are: 1. Dream has a long history of press snafus, so here it was fun for him to be "the sensible one" - until the end; 2. These days he is probably G=Eyed's longest-serving buddy, except for Hatman who's more of a boss. I suspect that Yuki's P.I. instincts keep her off-camera as much as possible. Besides, I needed her to call out the Shoggoth and get a bit deeper with him than we often go. Quote: Vinnie is afraid he's become a bad person? Unfortunately he was talking to the one person who would tell him to get to the back of the line. Liu Xi has already dealt with worries of becoming a bad person twice in her life. So she's the one to ask, point blank, if he is one. He doesn't need Magweed for that.It's not just the worry of him maybe being a bad person, it's that an innocent child whom he likes and who has previously liked him (they've even had an adventure together) might spot it and change her mind about him. Quote: I guess in Yuki's scene it was too late for a lecture about "mostly dead" because they've been gone too long.The Shoggoth is a great cgaracter to use for laughs, but it works best like that because he can have a profound and serious side. Of the current team, Yuki is probably the most likely to ask out-of-the-box questions of him, especially if she's upset. Of course, in a comic-book world there are all kinds of ways people get resurrected, especially villains, but the Shoggoth's power to make any change of that kind is strictly limited to Lovfecraftian means - a horror story ready to happen. A character with the ability to bring everyone who dies easily back to life would destroy any tension from narrative consequences. Quote: Isn't the Hooded Hood missing enough force to drive this Insanity Bullet toward the Wonderwall?Good catch. His plans are not complete. Quote: On that note, you were wondering how you could ever use Faite: With all this interest in breaking the Wonderwall, maybe it could become her job to either restore it, or relocate it so any remaining plans to break it would become useless. The one thing that would definitely motivate her to decisive action would be the potential destruction of the universe, and as I said in another post, she'd take the most non-confrontational but sure action she could.A relocated Wonderwall would be a useless Wonderwall, just like moving a security fence to stop it being vandalised. But really, since the item forms the barrier between the Parodyverse and the Big Elsewhere it is pretty much immune to everything (unless the narrative needs it to be otherwise). The focus is probably off that particlar maguffin for a bit, Next up is whispering file rooms and the world of trouble that prefigures. | |||||||
