Belated realization regarding this. Is Paul factoring for how Jade modified her brain during her brief stint with an Orange Ring, which I remember including accelerated learning among the benefits, or is she just that far behind?
She's probably just that far behind. But she comes from a pretty primitive planet, so I'd hardly blame her for it.
'Heavily warded' means that it has powerful wards.
I'm sorry but I'm going to need a citation for that, that can't possibly be right.
For one of the smartest beings in the universe, that wasn't a very good job at subtlety.
Have they met?
Intelligence doesn't require Varys level subtlety and tittering.
I think that should be "deciding".
Has anyone accused Hinon of subtlety lately?
I was under the impression that Alan wasn't interested in romantic attachments since his wife died.
Thank you, corrected.
Also forgot to threadmark
Huh, he almost yelled there. Was the entire second half intended to be Italicised?
...resulting in the Endless deciding against romantic relationships with mortals.
Don't forget to mention it occurred inside a virtual space generated by a magical mental reprogramming device... That could be relevant...
"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
Heh. Watch out, Diana, a potential rival appears!
Dammit, Paul, you can't just out and ask that sort of thing!
Both? Both. Both is good.
Thank you, corrected.
Man's got a good chance of becoming immortal now. He's going to get interested after some time has passed and that sinks in.
Eh, IMO there's a much better argument for OL being overly cautious. He's been transitioning people around everywhere for something like a year, if there were going to be acute symptoms they would've shown up, and another week or two of exposure almost certainly wouldn't make any chronic symptoms substantially worse.
Alan was in his eighties when Rose died.
Grayven's shaker power is Soul of a New God. It is reasonably well understood by both New Genesis and Apokolips. He knows that it won't do anything he finds abhorant.
Boss Smiley doesn't communicate with people like that, and while Lobo would take a contract on the SI there isn't currently anyone in a position to offer him one with the desire to do so.
I think this is the most subtle Paul gets this whole conversation, tip toeing around the words "White Light Entity".
Oh, Earth has a LOT of attractions. It's a cross between a intergalactic carnival and a weapons depot.
You know, that's something I really like about Paul. He doesn't give a flip. He'll name drop someone who less that a hundred living people remember, or tell a story about something that hasn't happened yet. No one even wants to bother calling him on it anymore.
Do you think Paul just wants a way to ask Dream about B.S. being right about the Garden being Earths anchor point to the Realm of Dream?
I love it every time he pulls out this line.
Of course! He wants this, after all.
And the spit take moment. Glorious.
Thank you, corrected.
"Apropos of nothing in particular, would you happen to have any recommendations for improving the security of an Embodiment's personal plane?"
Doesn't enlightenment mean that even if something is powerful enough to screw with his head, he'd still know it was messed with, yes?
