    And what have female toads done to you to make you want to do that to them?  I mean, really, isn't being a toad bad enough with out asshole male toads showing up?

    In my opinion that only makes him more admirable.

    Ashley's desires regarding transformations currently run to involuntarily transforming others, for various good or bad reasons.
    I suspect that if Pandora wants to Mark Ashley, all she has to do is be present when Ashley finds out about Sam.  That would be a completely altruistic reason to want to be able to transform others.  At the moment of most wishing she could do something to help him, Pandora could probably give her that power.
    I suspect the reason Pandora was able to give Tedd a Mark that allows him to transform others, is because he can so deeply understand why someone might *want* to be transformed.  He already knows better than to transform someone else against their will, but he is also experienced enough with transformations to know that it wouldn't necessarily be against someone's will.

    Without question. Everybody in the story are all catspaws of the single most manipulative being in Moperville.

    The DW is not Edward.
    Check the freckles, the DW is Catalina.
    And on another point, just by typing DW, I now have the line "When there's trouble you call D W" stuck in my head.
    I may need to break out my Dark Wing Duck DVDs.  Let's get dangerous.

    Given how Pandora was describing that before the Rule Change, the whole invading army was depending on a particular type of magic (Pyromancy) to be their main weapon, I am thinking that the pre-change rules were more like the magic that we hear about in traditional stories. Particularly, what EGS currently calls "Wizards" were more common, with the ability to choose which spells to acquire through study and practice. When Magic changed the rules, It changed things so that most Mages now gained spells that reflect their subconscious selves rather than being chosen by the conscious mind.

    This is one of the things I love about this forum -- our moderators are reasonable people who aren't afraid to apologize when they make a mistake, and to do so just as publicly as the mistaken warning was made.  (I know usually we aren't supposed to comment publicly on Moderator actions, but in this case I felt like it was worth risking it ;-) )
    Back on topic, I recall Jerry referring to parties where one or more Immortals named Zeus get into a fight...so it looks like Pandora really *is* an introvert!

    If Pandora asked me that question, I would probably not answer honestly.
    I have always had trouble admitting what I want.  Even as a kid, I couldn't bring myself to tell Santa what I wanted.
    But this made me realize something.
    When Pandora asks the question, what the victim says is almost irrelevant.
    The important thing is to get the subject thinking about the topic.

    She is not actually being reasonable as she is being really annoyed. I actually recognise this -- I, too, have been IRRITATED into doing the right thing.

    Reminds me of all the writers who talk about their characters deciding what they're going to do on their own, refusing to do what the writer wants or taking them completely by surprise.  Pandora is both writer and character here. :-)

    Weren't you paying attention?  168 hours means sleep is for the WEEK.
    So she can sleep for several days at a time.  How much does she need to sleep overall?
    Humans spend about one third of their day sleeping.  Does Pandora spend a week sleeping and is then up for a fortnight?
    Can she vary the frequency, one month asleep and two months awake or one day asleep and two days awake?
    Or is the Immortal internal clock cycle around the week like human metabolism cycles around the day?
    Or does she get so bored with the world that she occasionally knocks herself out for extended periods just to see if anything surprising has happened while she was sleeping?

    Absolutely nothing. Nobody can prove anything. And the DNA matches could easily have been pure coincidence.

    I once did that scenario with a kingdom where powerful nobles were trying to destroy it internally, too. The old king was dead, leaving only a daughter to hold the throne, so wild plotting commenced. But the plotting slowly ground to a halt. First, the most aggressive of the plotters died in a hunting accident. This occurred when he was somehow placed in a trebuchet that was primed to launch and he got fired hundreds of yards away to impact in a noxious swamp. The second plotter, who was also a suitor, suffered from a stroke that was so bad that it not only crushed the back of his skull but also most of his neck and his left shoulder. The third committed suicide by running screaming through his home while beating himself to death with an iron bar. The fourth died when an accidental fire burned his home down and shot everyone trying to escape through the windows with crossbow bolts.
    After that, the rest of plotters got the hint and decided not to tempt the new queen's wrath any longer. It did not save them, mind. They had the privilege of occupying the front ranks of the army when the Queen ordered the neighbouring kingdom plotting against hers invaded. They all died as war heroes.
    The players treated the queen of that kingdom very respectfully.

    If the teacher pauses in the lecture and says "this will be on the test", the students know they need to pay attention because it will come up again.
    If the Dan pauses in the Comic and says "this is not relevant", the bunnies know they need to pay attention because it will come up again.
    Chibi/Dream Sarah and Grace probably shop at the same Mystic Market.
    Both Jerry and Edward Verres mentioned buying spell books.  How many different legitimate commercial magic retailers could a town the size of Moperville support?
    And even though the suits may look similar in greyscale, they might actually be different colours.

    The bunny girl has the same wavy hair style that the squirrel avatar has. Like I said I didn't even notice there was a difference when I first saw her. I was just like "Dan's avatar in a bunny suit" without seeing the lack of squirrel ears and tail. Also why would Dan have a random bunnygirl speak for his decision making process?

    "So there I was, exploring the wastes when I came upon a radroach nest. I tried to be extra quiet to not disturb them as I passed by, but stepping on a bloodbug corpse ruined that plan, that's when the Deathclaw appeared. the Deathclaw took one swipe and knocked the shotgun that I had just modded to fire explosive rounds, right out of my hands and into the radroach nest. I managed to finish off the Deathclaw by kiting it around with my rifle, but by the time I got back to retrieve the shotgun, the largest of the radroached was just finishing swallowing the thing whole. When it burped, it fired off a round that exploded nearby causing shrapnel to hit me in the leg, there was no way I was going to get that gun back, my scavenging days were over because of that radroach."
    You know what's funny, I'm currently watching someone play FO4 and they just came upon a room (not in the vault) that had a number of radroaches, one of which was Legendary, it dropped a Quickdraw Submachine Gun though but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the area that Grace got the shotgun.
