Saw it while looking for that video.Wow that takes me back. Have you seen what happened to Stacy's Dad?
Seems the whole family has it going on.
Thank you, corrected.
The first time Jade visited Alan (before Grundymen attacked) Alan was suffering a control issue- he was pushing Hope into people around him.
That's exactly what happened in the comics when Zeus died.Interesting choice to touch base with Hera. But if Zeus is likely to lose his throne out of all this, she would have been a logical choice to take it. Glad she's smart enough not to put that kind of target on her back. Seriously, I bet the only reason the children of Zeus haven't started a war yet is fear of him... And if he's de-powered, that threat is gone...
Well this is a Hera that is now happily divorced from Zeus it makes sense that this version of Hera much more likeable.
Screw the tyranny of the gods! Do what you want, Paul.You know what? Fuck Eris! I raise my right hand to my forehead
I'm surprised Hinon didn't call him on the obvious lie."No. Stop. Earth. Yes. Is whatever you're doing likely to cause a problem for the rest of the universe?"
"No?
"Everyone knows you're putting it on!" Eris points to be with her right forefinger. "Dragonball Z is shit!"
So the other thing has been prepared. Anyone know what this could be?"Something that could maintain an arcane connection with everything feeding the nascent titan."
Hey, I was all for that the moment she appeared in the story. So was she, really, given all the attempts to get into Paragon's pants.
"I meant 'what do you want it for".
"I'm trying to drain energy from a titan to upgrade one of my favourite gods after-."
"No. Stop. Earth. Yes. Is whatever you're doing likely to cause a problem for the rest of the universe?"
"No?"
"Oh, take the blasted thing." The ring floats out of her robes and over to me. "And keep notes
'Ask three Eldar a question, get six different answers. And all of them will terrify you.' Well, this is clearly going swimmingly. Let me guess, the subject has objection, the scientist has an indifference to said objections, and the comedian just wants to see something happen..27th October 2012

"So are you saying it isn't possible, or..?"
"No." / "It…" / "Yes, but…"
Might need to raise you voice, OL. Or employ gags.I hold up my hands to try and bring order to the proceedings, and the Gods of Olympus carry on as if I did nothing.
"…network stability, so…" / "…viable solution to…" / "…fun, so you could…"
Now, to be fair, that is a significant concern. If anything goes wrong, you lose a valuable ally, and whatever comes to from out of the wreckage might not be someone you like.Hephaestus is not impressed with the work so far. As far as I could gather, the fact that the embryonic titan isn't cohesive means that the normal spells for draining it risk funnelling the whole thing into him, causing the same overwrite issues that were the reason that he turned this down the first time I brought it up.
"…fundamental problem…" / "…study each of…" / "…leap sometimes and I think…"
Lady, most gods are not built to drink straight from the fire-hose of a Titan's energy, got it? And Eris, keep the swimsuit on, please?Which means that the whole system needs to be reworked in order to do what it's supposed to and not dissolve him. Hecate thinks the plan is basically fine and is getting increasingly frustrated that no one has the level of thaumaturgy education that would allow them to see that. Neither Eris or Hera have really studied the subject and Hephaestus knows enough to be extremely cautious.
"…use it yourself if you…" / "…weak level, and then…" / "…need it on for anyway, I..."
...Better head that off right now, OL. A bored goddess of mischief is never conducive to safe practices.She also wants to plug him in and study the result. He's understandably not keen, and honestly I'm not either. That sounds like something that Zeus could detect, and I… Even if it didn't hurt him, doing that sort of study carefully could take a long time and Diana's in Tartarus now. Eris on the other hand-
"…basic scientific method…" / "…warding would easily…" / "…kinda boring right now."
'Humble', you are not, OL.-just wants oh dear.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, is this a problem in which your most humble servant might aid you?"
Not helping, Eris. How about you sit down, brew up some popcorn and wait for the fireworks?Eris frowns. "My most humble servant's this guy in Denmark, and he's…" She shakes her head. "Yeah, he's humble for a reason. You could get him, but I don't think he'd be able to actually help at all."
Hephaestus takes that in his stride. "Paul was offering to help. I suppose that if you could get a few Atlantean-"
Ah, she has a low opinion of mere mortal researchers, I see?Hecate looks put out. "That is not necessary, because-"
"-experts, so they could go over Oceanus's prison before we do anything else, that would be helpful."
Well, to be fair, most of the Titans are locked away, or very much not interested in playing guinea pig..."I really meant-."
"-they don't understand the Dream and none in living memory have studied titans."
Well, she probably does remember when they were mere babes-in-arms, so to speak. From her perspective, this is probably just like a couple of toddlers squabbling."Is there anything I could get you that would make the current system more reliable? Reliable to the point where you could use it as-is?"
Eris and Hera raise their eyebrows, though with Eris it's expectation that something interesting is going to happen while with Hera it's increasing frustration at these unruly Olympians.
And you have some very experienced allies who could probably lend a hand on this subject. Ones very used to dealing with large exotic energy entities..."No." / "I doubt it."
"If you could describe what you need? No offence intended here, but I do get out and about rather more than both of you."
Heck, you could even make it Lantern-shaped, if you wanted to."An energy regulator." / "Something that could maintain an arcane connection with everything feeding the nascent titan."
Neither of those sound particularly difficult.
'Bad things' generally involving setting loose interdimensional entities, wild magical discharges, or simply exploding in such a way as to leave a singed pair of shoes behind?"Hephaestus first. Could you please explain exactly what you mean?"
"Manually controlling arcane power is as complex or as simple as you make it. A normal magician will have a feel for what they can handle directly, and if they lose control then bad things happen to them. As gods, we can handle a lot more power than all but the greatest archmages-"
Now, now, Hecate. Not everyone has millennia to study all the ins-and-outs of their chosen subject...Hecate- "Hmpf." -disagrees.
"-and in our domains even more than that. But we're talking about a titan whose existence is defined by the entire modern era. That's far more than I can handle."
Going back to my fire-hose analogy, even the slightest nudge of open faucet is quite a flow..."I thought you'd just be drawing the power as needed."
"No, I would be drawing more as needed. I would be drawing at least some power constantly as soon as the connection was made."
...Now, gee, why does that concept sound so gosh-darn familiar?"Okay. So you need something that can help you… Internalise it?"
"No, if I internalise it then we're back to me dissolving myself in a font of primal energy. I would need something that can precisely control how much energy comes through. Not just limit to a small proportion of the total. Something that can say 'this amount and no more'."
Heh. Mister Chekhov, would you get that gun down off the mantelpiece for us?
Opinion inferior and thus rejected! It's a matter of style, after all.I raise my right hand to-.
"Everyone knows you're putting it on!" Eris points to be with her right forefinger. "Dragonball Z is shit!"
Wonder how he's coming along. It has been quite a while since we heard anything about him...I lower my right hand, give her a slightly hurt look, then
step out and
reappear in… The containment centre on Maltus, Hinon's eyes moving to me for a fraction of a second as she does something with the machinery around the recumbent form of Larfleeze, which then regains her full attention.
Ah, the good old 'training wheels for phenomenal cosmic power'...
Are you sure you want to know? It'll mean a stinker of a headache..."Yes. Why?"
"Could I please have it?"
"I meant 'what do you want it for".
...Has OL actually stopped to ask his experts that question?"I'm trying to drain energy from a titan to upgrade one of my favourite gods after-."
"No. Stop. Earth. Yes. Is whatever you're doing likely to cause a problem for the rest of the universe?"
No need to say '...If you survive.' We know he will. He's like a cockroach in that respect."No?"
"Oh, take the blasted thing." The ring floats out of her robes and over to me. "And keep notes."
Damn straight! Toriyama knew his stuff was cool. And it's a clear signal to other people that he's about to do something, instead of just blinking out like a disconnected MMO player."Thank you." I-.
You know what? Fuck Eris! I raise my right hand to my forehead
Heh. If he pulls this off, he might just well be able to comprehend a Power Ring... Given Earth's sometimes bullshit level of technological knowledge.and
return to Hecate's home, holding the ring out to Hephaestus.
'You're still a weeaboo, Fanta-boy.' And acting just as she would expect him to act, I bet."Is this any good?"
Eris notices where my hand was and looks away, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. I raise my index and middle fingers at her. Hephaestus on the other hand takes the ring and stares at it hard.
Maltusian arcanotechnology laughs at your petty imagined divisions of nonclamenture."I'm.. not sure. Hecate?"
Space around the ring warps and glows as she applies arcane power to the ring. Which seems completely unaffected.
Don't forget, she wanted notes. I'm sure Hecate can provide a textbook's worth of theory for Hinon's examination."It… Might? What is it? Where did you get it?"
"From a friend. What else do you need?"
So the other thing has been prepared. Anyone know what this could be?
"Shut your whore mouth!!!""Everyone knows you're putting it on!" Eris points to be with her right forefinger. "Dragonball Z is shit!"
Better head that off right now, OL. A bored goddess of mischief is never conducive to safe practices.
Are you sure you want to know? It'll mean a stinker of a headache...
Pretty much how I feel about Shakespeare.While I wouldn't say trash, DBZ is definitely overhyped. Significant for it's time of course but for every good innovation, there was a bad one.
She wasn't specifically trying to get into his pants. She wanted to introduce chaos and change into his life.Hey, I was all for that the moment she appeared in the story. So was she, really, given all the attempts to get into Paragon's pants.
Thank you, corrected.
This is sadly the first time I realized what he was doing. I press on my temples to concentrate and thought Paul has been doing that to visualize his target better this whole time.Okay, before now I just sort of tolerated her, but now I actually like Eris. I don't agree, mind, but it's about fucking time someone called him out for being a weeb.
Yeah, that's fair. I'm not a big fan of most of the classics play wise. Frustrated my Mom and her one woman quest to ensure I was a cultured child.
