I kinda hope something unpleasant happens to her after she gets a suppression collar on her. Maybe she could be dismissed by the new queen of the Green, since Euanthe is a close friend of Paul's.
Because birds have the innate ability to target assholes.
Oh, I hope the others are filming this. Discreetly, if only for OL's ego. Still, I'm impressed at both the pettiness of the action and the precise control needed to both make the bird shit on command and hit only him with it. Perhaps the lady has some skills.
Maybe she doesn't like you, and wants you to go away? Not that that's likely, given, well, you.
Hey, as long as it's for personal use, live and let live.
To be fair, it would show they're not the bad guys. Justifiers wouldn't bother to knock, except with the sole of a boot.
If they do have her, then this little plan just went down the shitter.
...Who knows if whatever traps she has set up can clean up after themselves?
Wonder Boy and Super Boy, best brothers.
...Seriously, has there ever been a YJ Fic with Kon getting adopted by Wonder Woman and adopting her branding? I've seen a cute fanart or two, but no stories.True, even Superman has weaknesses. Same ones Mitchell does.
Back to being head-blind, eh, M'gaan? Won't need the defences, soon.
Sheesh. still having issues with magical concealment, OL? Would have though you'd found a way around that by now.
Oh, that's not good.
And meet them back here?
If it's set up right, they won't even have to turn around to get there.Which would likely send up some obvious signs to the Justified that something of note is out here, though.
Unless the Anti-Life has driven her to tap into something more primal.
Illusions and misdirection? Seems to fit.
I can't help but picture the 'endless nothingness' of the map boundaries of the typical sandbox game.
While the sarcasm might be a bit much, OL... It's probably warranted in this case.
And not having them handy might make things go worse when Mannheim does turn up.
I mean, she might not be skilled enough to manage that. But trying would just sour things with her more.
Unsurprising. You can see why they want it gone, right?
...I would say that's excessively paranoid, but...
John Constantine.Well, he wasn't really trying to go straight, just sort himself out after Anti-Life-related shenanigans... And now I say that, what's the bet that setup was tied to Mannheim's deeds?
With any luck, there won't need to be a next time.
Ah, are we going to learn why she was all 'hate at first sight' with him?
That would be the psychometry. And between his cloaking tattoos and his non-standard metaphysical structure...
He's a giant blind spot.That's all he wanted. So hooray!
As gently as I can, I extend my awareness into the…
Delete 'in the'.
Abit hypocritical there ain't ya OL?
Paul still knows how to interact like a normal person even if his mindset is somewhat alien now. Mercury on the other hand is incapable of doing that thanks to her abilities.
It would help Guy and Hal resist the Anti-Life for months. (Referring to the more dangerous forms of it for Mr Enlightened).
When Paul and co were in Minions investigating the nightmares (Siskin and the Terror Thing), Paul needed information about whatever company was originally doing the research. Mercury was the only other person he could get info about it (Constantine only knew enough to stop the final terror weapon from being built).
Eugh! You just conjured the unpleasant image of a bird shitting into someone's asshole in my mind. I never even thought of something like that until now.
Thank you, corrected.
And if they sold it to people, it would be for their personal use.
I saw one a few years ago where they used her genetics rather than Lex's, but I don't remember what it was called.Wonder Boy and Super Boy, best brothers.
"It's not hypocritical when I do it."
I think the plan was to go to Erebos via OtherWorld in order to recruit Melinoe.
...I would say that's excessively paranoid, but...
Thank you, corrected.
If you don't recognise it, maybe?
"I mean, um, if you're not doing anything later, we could give it a shot."
You botched the partial italicization on the 'Ugh' - looks like you made both 'I' brackets closing brackets instead of a proper pairing.
OK I know you don't like her, but that's just evil.
Doylistly, it does a good job of showing us how contemptible Mercury is, far moreso than just her pettiness with the birdshit did. (EDIT: Watsonianly, she's far more like John than she'd like to admit, except that this is clearly a hell of a lot more petty than anything this serious that I can recall John doing.)
She hasn't diverged enough for Mercury to deserve better, nor (I suspect) for Paul to have much hope that better treatment would be worth the effort.
I would assume that's the network of ley-lines reordering itself as they switch dimensional alignments. Must make for a spectacular sight. Especially with streaks of not-black running through it courtesy of the Anti-Life.
I wonder if they're forming hill figures. It seems the sort of thing to expect in a mythical realm like this.
Presumably this patch of reality is euclidean enough to allow them to assemble quickly. Fae realms not being known for their linearity.
I would suspect that to be the case, OL.
Well, that's a sudden change of heart.
Great. A doppelganger. Let's hope they don't get ideas abut replacing their original.
...And here I thought Mercury was a weak mage.
Looks like the clone has about as high an opinion of her original as OL does.
And if her form weren't so solidly set by her original, I have no doubt she'd be de-aging as she went.
Oh, yes, definitely fae ancestry.
Don't mind her, she's... Different.
Impressive display of nature magic, but entirely wasteful.
At least swallow before you start talking...
If this is how many fae creatures come into being, then their capriciousness starts to make sense.
Got to kind of suck to be the only non-flier in the group, but the Danner Formula makes up for it.
...I mean, he's familiar with the realm near his home ranges. You assume he'd know how to navigate in the wilds of the north?
To be fair, they probably didn't consider the issue of navigation beforehand.
And which way is that? This isn't the kind of place where a compass would work to well. And probably offend someone with the lodestone of the needle.
I guess, shorn of all responsibilities, Mercury might act like this.
And given that's probably a thousand kilometres or more, I don't see him walking it in any reasonable time.
I mean... Did any of you expect to be able to get in this quickly?
Though some of the most powerful might look like Tolkein-esque Elves. The tall, pale and ethereal look has a dignity to it, after all.
Given that half-fomorians exist amongst the Tuatha... Anything goes.
Especially the scarier ones, like Balor Bale-eye.
I mean, some are said to be outright murderous even without provocation...
Hopefully he can avoid the Diplomacy penalty between OL and Mercury-prime.
Oh, she can, but will she? That'll need more negotiation.
You'll be waiting a few years, I hope you realise.
Yeah, like he'd fall for...
...That. Honestly, Robin. Have you never read any fairy stories?
Hopefully without managing to offend someone by travelling their lands without asking. Because I don't doubt this little simulacra dropping down hasn't gone unnoticed.
Naturally, because who knows when you might need to feed someone.
Hey, don't go getting mad, girl. You never specified quantities.
I think he's paying petty unto petty.
