It was called Millennium.
Biotechnology. Sometimes inefficient, often strange, always gross.
Have to wonder why she's being so helpful. Maybe she's confused you for someone important from elsewhere?
Good thing it doesn't need to be wired for sense. Ew.
Because of course this is all she's ever known. Would she ever have seen anything non-organic beyond dirt?
Good, always be wary in hostile territory. Just because she's being cooperative, doesn't mean she's friendly.
This being very much on the wrong side of that line.
That's like asking her why grass is gre-...Oh, wait...
I wonder how long an individual tank lasts... Years, obviously... Centuries?
Because you ain't covered in shit?
Show me what passes for nobility amongst your misbegotten kind...
Oh, that's going to make her a little less cooperative...
Props for not panicking, at least.
Wow, just rip the band-aid off. That's basically telling her heaven and god just died, and you killed them.
Yes, Grayven is rather good at that, even without rings.
A return to times she's probably on heard of in horror stories. Yes, bad times ahead for the Sheeda.
She seems to get that a lot with these two...
That is a good point. No rivers? No rain?
...Ew...
Well, his New God physiology is a lot hardier than hers. He's less likely to die from poison...
Given that it's probably been recycled a thousand times or more... You're lucky it only tastes like blood...
Hey, when you're thirsty enough, anything smells good.
Seriously? Even water? That's... That's messed up, man.
He needs to know who to conquer, after all. Hey, don't judge him. New Gods gotta God.
They had no clear heirs of course. Because that would make them and the heirs targets, after all.
And how responsible are the common folk for the actions of their leadership? Yes, that's a good question to ask...
...At a guess, I would say the biggest building in town? That tower they saw?
Since stealth is less than likely to work,. It's time to get flashy.
So... The common folk of the Sheeda aren't as bad as we all assumed. This Buddug doesn't seem to be a cackling sadist. Just someone doing her job and trying to not die...
I think it is something about MLP.
No.
No.
Thank you, corrected.
It's not a Paragon interrupt, it's a Harmony interrupt, pursuant to Renegrayven getting the Anti-Life blasted out of him by the mlp magic of harmony.
Harmony is infectious.
Heh. I bet that's something he lives in fear of all the time. Knowing he can't defend himself easily from an assassin...
Well, good to see he recognises Grayven and Artemis as not local. It is kind of obvious, and all. And they're clearly not slaves, what with being armed... So naturally he decides to play along.
Harmony interrupt for the win.I smile, eyebrows raised. "Apokolips as spring. There's a simile I haven't heard before."
I-.
Not every situation needs to be conquered. Sometimes, you have to try to do things peacefully. If it falls through, then you go a'conquering.
What, like, "No, my Queen, I was simply delaying them until your return, so that you could have the pleasure of flaying them yourself." Whatever makes it easier for him to agree.
Or at least making sure it never happens. Which means finding out what happened to make the Sun the way it is, because that is basically at the heart of all this...
Which, honestly, says a lot about how dangerous he really was.
Yeah, Sivana definitely made quite the impression.
Yeah, you can see him weighing up his options. Help them, and if the queen returns, get a painful death for betraying her. Fight them, die painfully, and condemn his people to a slow, lingering death. Trust them, the queen doesn't return, and he ends up hailed as the saviour of the Sheeda...
Choices, choices.Heh, I can see ol' Glory-Bra doing that. She was very much the vindictively petty type.
Helping it is, then. Let's hope he isn't playing the long game.
And why isn't it affecting New God or Maltusian tech the same way? Or is it just working a hell of a lot slower, due to their complexity?
...Oh, that's... I hadn't even thought of that. We know the soldiers use insect chitin for armour, but...
Talk about figure-hugging...
So it's more like dense bone than flesh. Presumably, if you could pierce deep enough, you'd get bone marrow and blood.
Then Grayven gets to doing what he does well: Problem-solving.
Good, there's plenty of information to look over, then. Hope you're ready for a study session.
Oh, you have no idea. Most superheroes are already a little cracked, just by the drive to dress in flashy costumes and fight crime... Never mind the ones with actual trauma. And let's not get started on the super-villains.
Oh, he's good. It can't have been that obvious.
Unless you could eat rocks. Like a kryptonian could.
Oh, that's a worry. Who knows what those glyphs will actually do. Grayven, at least, has strong magical resistance, but what about Artemis?
I hope Mother Box's recovering from her figurative hangover, at least. Hopefully that'll help her shake it off? Worst case, she can analyse it.
Or he simply didn't care to make it painless. And that's one hell of a promotion, huh? From meat-gatherer to servant of nobility. No wonder she's worried.
He is your hostage, after all. Technically.
Now, whether that summons a guide or guards, we'll see soon. I wouldn't put it past him...
If anyone's wondering still: Aurakles and his people. He may still be out there, too, imprisoned by the crown.
Hopefully they're reasonably intact, separated from their owners for so long...
Who knows, they may find something to help them create a time machine. An archive that only responds to a New God, perhaps?
That's not in any way ominous, is it?... No. Not At All.
It's been so long since I've watched YJ so I can't remember what Artemis is supposed to sound like. I like to imagine her sounding like her YJ Abridged incarnation. Gothamite accent for the most part but slipping into loud Cockney when stressed/angry, just like Sportmaster and Jade
It's an Abridged series on YouTube.
