      I mean that Slithis isn't just provoked to rage. He's also vulnerable to flattery, paranoia, and threats.



    Quote:
    Paranoia would be Chiaki's job instead. Her doing nothing and staring at him might make him feel like she's up to something, and he'll get angry that he doesn't know what because she won't say anything, either.


That's what Dark Thugos told you, Lord Slithis? Really?"

      That's a bargain she doesn't want to make. But don't worry, we'll be hearing planety more about this in Untold Tales to come - to the point where lots more people begin to take an active interest.

    It all depends on what the Hooded Hood offers, really. Chiaki is in the real estate investment business, so she's used to negotiating. Plus he might find it more amusing to be completely straightforward about the consequences and see how strong she is.


As with so many other things the Hood does, his deals tend to have additional consequences beyond the obvious. Often they're set up so that whatever the outcome the Hood benefits.

Previous Hood deals have led to:

* Lisa turning on the LL to become a vilainess
* The destruction of Pegasus to save the Parodyverse
* Lisette giving up her baby
* Hatman having to choose between marriage and a baby with Whitney or saving the Legion
* Mr Epitome having his relationship with his family retconned so he's not related to them any more
* Hacker Nine becoming a murderer

and much, much more!

      What stage do you think Liu Xi and Vinnie are at just now? They seem to be actually dating. She's referred to him as her boyfriend, I think? Are they sleeping together yet? if so then that'd be Liu Xi's first more-than-one-night physical relationship.



    Quote:
    I've implied that they've slept together a few times, but not regularly. Liu Xi really wants to fall into a relationship, but she's still afraid of the consequences - that Vinnie might backslide to Kerry again (or someone else), or that he might be forced by his job to do something to her or the Lair Legion - so she's keeping her distance just a little bit. Basically, they spend some time apart (i.e. he doesn't go to school with her, and she doesn't always go on occult business with him), and they don't live together, which is why sometimes it looks confusing when Liu Xi is hanging out with friends alone and Vinnie is who-knows-where.


Useful clarification.


    Quote:
    I guess what's funny is that Liu Xi is trying to be so careful, and she's accidentally cultivating what's really a very mature relationship. Hatman might be almost jealous (except for the sleeping together part).


It's good to know where they are in their romance, which is really still at the trying-each-other-out phase, shy of commitment.


    Quote:

      Quote:
      I don't think Vinnie would be cruel; but he might have to do something he felt was neccessary.



    Quote:
    If Liu Xi feels very hurt, that distinction isn't going to make her feel better. The question now, I guess, is whether Vinnie feels close enough to her to beg her forgiveness, or if he'll just sigh, accept his punishment, and walk away.


Indeed.
