Thank you, corrected.
Yes. Profoundly. She's deliberately ignoring her own desires, despite knowing what they are. To an enlightened Orange Lantern who likes her it's spiritual-nails-on-a-blackboard.
It could be some exotic alloy of gold, such as electrum or some variant of the fictional Orichalcum. The latter also has mystical associations... Who knows when you get started with Kirbytech like that?
Huh. If people on Earth did similar stuff (And the gold didn't get immediately pried off the walls) that might work. Same principle as astronaut visors, really. Micromeshes using gold as an outer layer for improved reflectivity.
Probably because unless they're only layered in gold leaf, they would be phenomenally heavy. And structurally unsound.
I mean, that's a reasonable excuse to talk about it, but we can all guess why...
Yeah, he's basically bullshitting.
Time to split up, then. Who's with which Lantern?
Dangit, now I'm picturing an Iron Man suit. But this is DC, where skin-tight clothing can be effective power armour...
And heck, he could break records for space-diving.
Hey, it worked for Kirk and Sulu.
Handy. But what if something unexpected interferes with it? Like, say, an anti-technology field or the like?
Always so casual about amazing moments like that...
That's one good explanation for how they can always understand and be understood by anyone.
I figure any 'warpaint' stuff would be thaumo-circuitry designed to channel divine energies or something. A little hypocritical depending on how you look at it but hey, nobody's perfect.
Good, sensible advice. Especially when there's no biochemical barriers in fiction to prevent toxicity or infections from jumping species.
Or pants, either. The loinclothes are definitely a statement, though, with all those wrap strips and flaps.
Don't worry, I'm sure the ladies are used to people wandering around with erections in their presence.
Ah, a chance to play matchmaker! Pity Jade is already taken.
I know you're teasing, OL, but there's no need to mess with him like that.
She's also technically older than you, but still comparatively a teenager amongst her species... Makes you wonder how they resolve the difference in calendar ages when different planets can have different orbital periods.
And even his metaknowledge might be fuzzy on details besides 'teenaged on her world' and 'aged herself up to date Hal Jordan'. She's not really that well-known in general media, is she?
It's definitely a moral quandry in that respect. To look too deep and discover things you'd rather not have known about friends...
Yeah, try telling him something everyone doesn't know.
So, good to have that confirmed, at least. And Hal isn't reciprocating, thankfully. Not enough emotional trauma for that yet.
Frollo's secret romantic passion was a bit messed up, but... Oh, right.
Like Frozen20xx said, they tweaked things, probably for exactly that reason.
And, not do defend the situation, that sort of age difference would have been common-ish in the era. Especially in arranged marriages, rather than love matches.
Bad idea to date a supervillain, though. Because not only do you drag her into your problems, she'll drag you into hers. Unless you move in the same circles like Batman did, and the problems are shared...
(Personal tossup between Barda and Diana.) Hey, who know, maybe he'll meet a nice Primitive girl? Ask someone else. While there are people worse at romance than Paul he is well below the average.
I Assumed that New Gods just had their motherboxes Translate for them? So is this like all speak in Marvel?
Doylist, I just needed a reason why he could talk to them.
In season 1 episode 17 "Disordered" We see the Forever people use their motherbox to translate for them. So I assume motherboxes here can't do that here?
The Primitives might not have Motherboxes.
Yeees, but that's Ghia'ta and Dame Carol Ferris. It would be awkward with Ghia'ta because despite her great age she was relatively closeted until recently so acts younger and he'd probably fine her attractive. Dame Carol is a bit... Odd.
It works for me. Anyone else?
No, they can, but Primitives don't use that technology.
Victor Hugo was in Napoleonic france during this time.
Well some do.
Minor reaction to the Ring's electromagnetic fields? Honestly, I figure it would be a lot gentler than human tech, which is quite a bit more brute-force than the Ring's end-of-all-the-tech-trees elegance. Or perhaps just Transition lag. Remember when OL would sometimes (figuratively) leave his stomach behind?
Eh, if it is caused by EM emissions, the Ring should produce less when it's not actively generating constructs.
So it's possible to adapt to the EM thing, but it feels like halfway to dying, going by context.
Makes sense. I doubt every banshee going in or out goes through that one little garden. Would kind of ruin the tranquillity if it had much traffic, after all. Or the Rune is specifically keyed to that spot because it used to be Percival's, and, well...
Presumably as a courtesy to prevent any perceived 'invasion' of their halls. It'd be a big security risk, after all.
Ah, it's not really designed for anything but the Banshees' own psychic energies, then.
I guess because neither really radiate their energies passively. And once the transit is initiated, it's not drawing energy.
Ah, gossip, eh? Sounds like Percival is enjoying renewing his friendship with the Banshee Queen.
Definitely enjoying themselves. I would expect a maltusian of his age to be quite the lover just from practical experience.
If Percival is doing what I think he's doing, then that would just be awkward. Or possibly something for certain adult sites.
Because half-maltusian or not, she's still a princess, eh? And presumably the only one present.
What with the Queen being occupied with her entertaining, eh?
Oh, joy... Also, these three are definitely playing up the wyrd sisters gag. For the lulz, no doubt.
That's an education best left to her own cognisance.
Looking to duck out before he has an embarrassing encounter with either his mentor or a VIP, eh?
If I remember, that was rather tricky, given the EM issues and the distance?
Well, modern for the current time. At least he doesn't need a PC or Internet, with the Ring.
Oh boy, fraternisation ahoy!
And he's turning on the charm. Good luck, boyo!
Aw, she wasn't ready for that strong a come-on.
Hmm, the lady might like the treatment, though. Pity work calls.
In like Flynn!
Hey, if Sh'lainn doesn't know how human guys think around pretty ladies by now, she's not been paying attention, has she?
I assume the males are polite, well-spoken and easily-flustered young gentleman types. And not really expected to be too forwards.
And it'll be good practice for her, then. Easing the Banshee into peaceful interactions with modern humans is definitely a good plan, as much as they'd prefer remaining apart.
Ah, the fun of working with former enemies, eh?
Only in the pursuit of profit, from the sounds of it.
Ah, right, there are actual giant aliens, aren't there? so many of those myths and legends being inspired by alien visitors and castaways
Patience, unless she's a doctor?
Patience here, she's a little early to break into this musical number:
