Which basically means it's an ideal defense-lawyer position. The most favorable view, stretching but not breaking the truth.
I like the implication that there actually were D&D ritual killings in this DCverse. Like... yeah, that tracks.
Ah, no. That was a reference to an actual real world event.
It wasn't shown onscreen, but the last we see of those guys, one of them was grabbed by the face by Grundy, so it's heavily implied that he killed them.
Which is probably a good thing, being that they're alchemical aberrations. Though it may well be saturated with the same energies he can channel as an Enlightened wizard. Not that it stopped Ra's Al Ghül from abusing their power.
...Wait, the White Event (if you'll pardon the phrasing) reactivated all the Lazarus pits worldwide? That could be troublesome.
I mean, how would you select them? Value to humanity? Personal connections? At least money isn't likely to be a factor...
Ah, yes. Since OL has had issues with making use of Lazarus pits before...
Which might invite reprisals from the Silver City, again.
Well, at least those in charge are being more sensible about it.
Awkward. No guarantee it wouldn't still be lingering, after all, and no knowing if it'd be infectious.
Ah, still trying to moderate OL's more outrageous moral decisions, eh?
Pfft, sod her. If she wasn't so kill-crazy, they wouldn't need to be doing this.
As many a good mother can prove.
Ah, good thinking, OL. For once.
Which might be why the Olympians haven't returned yet... There's no safe road to travel.
On the other hand, if the young lady's powers can extend to blood inside someone's body... And you don't know how interactions with the White Light or the Lazarus Pit have affected her abilities...
I presume the original was rather.. damaged by her encounter with Tisiphone.
Okay, yes, she can affect fluids inside people's bodies. Nasty. Or potentially embarrassing, depending on which fluids she can control. A sudden loss of bladder control as the contents force their way out, for example.
But cause more lasting damage, I suppose.
Still coming to her senses, eh? At least the sort of madness Ra's always suffered from isn't present. Though that may be a function of age.
Lowballing it for her own ease of mind, eh?
Busy day, and quite a few Pits de-powered again, I see.
Heh. Joy of being worked on by a Lantern.
...Until OL can get in touch with his underworldly contacts and make arrangements on that front.
Taking no chances, I see. Leaving no pit usable behind you.
It was a nice idea. Just a pity it got subverted from within.
Every one of them wants to continue the good work? They're got courage if nothing else.
...then I can use it to track the gods of the Hellenes."
...but if you're interested I can have a word with Alpha Centurion.
Now that's heroic spirit right there.
while -> until
Thank you, corrected.
I think 'while' is alright, but I'll correct wares.
Thanks, those [color] tags can get tricky to track, especially on Flexile Dark's colours. The text color is not-quite-white... Corrected now.
Thank you, corrected.
'No, no, it's…'?
According to my dictionary, 'disproportionately'.
Thank you, corrected.
'demons''?
'turns. If'
'they can just'
I'm surprised that he cares about what the Source thinks. Is this a result of his New God memories or is he pretending?
...Goodness, the Renegade's been here this whole time? I though once he had the Succupire's mother dominated, he'd be right on top of matters, or at least step back. I shudder to imagine the trail of devils left behind him after applying corrections when they tried to stop him, though.
I doubt there's much pornographic material, though. The ladies probably get enough of that sort of thing when they're working. Maybe some technical manuals, hmm?
...Oh, dear. Something that close to human-baseline is either very old, very powerful, or both. Take care, Renegade, I think you've gotten the attention of someone very high in rank.
...And he knows why you're here. That's even worse, because now he has leverage.
Ah, the unique aesthetics of Hell... A subtle reminder of who nominally rules this demense, eh?
...I hate to say it but he does have a point. It would take a truly cracked mind to enjoy this place.
I'd be wary of him trying to subtly cast a spell, but he can no doubt feel the fortress-like nature of the Renegade's metaphysique.
Honestly, that implies it was made. For a purpose, rather than simply growing up from a crack in the universe where a certain someone landed.
As if the whole place were some sort of gigantic role-playing game session?
Damnation, the MMORPG that will consume your soul! To be fair, having it be efficient would probably attract reprisals from its enemies, such as the Silver City. Sort of a 'if it's running well, it's too dangerous!'
You mean when Lucifer cast away the key and it went to Remiel and Duma? No, that was just him being dramatic.
Especially since they may end up gaining redemption before they crumble. And then all you've done is waste your time and theirs.
Unless someone is building an army, in which case, their unit selection is rather haphazard. Like they're stuck rolling on random tables or opening Gacha packs.
I'm sure if you learned to take advantage of more modern methods than books, you'd have plenty of takers.
Yes, pleasant little discussion, but I rather imagine the Renegade wants to get home.
...And exploitably long-term. Best to make sure whatever he offers, you get the book in advance, Renegade.
Ah, is someone looking for an outside perspective to find new options?
Though it does have its risks, specialising like that. For instance, if your field of expertise is invalidated suddenly, by a technological upheaval or something...
I mean, you could offer a percentage as payment. The better they do, the better their pay. It does encourage competence.
Not with important things, anyway.
Yeah, find out what the catch is, because this sounds like so much bait...
Yeah, no way in Hell, if you'll pardon the phrasing. That's a poisoned chalice large enough to drown Galactus.
You know the phrase about herding cats? That's doable. Herding Demons? Who will look for every opportunity to stab you in the back? Madness.
Make sure you have clear and obtainable exit conditions. No open-ended commitments, no 'when it's done' clauses.
Huh. How stupid do you think he is, mister?
Ah, it figures. A God messing about in his domain would definitely get his attention.
Missing "." after "by turns".
They.
Extra or missing quotation mark.
Thank you, corrected.
Not quite. Did you notice the snake bones next to the human skull?
