Remove the first "whose existence was never previously hinted at".
Why?
They'd be afraid once they saw him. Spirits don't really share information.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm surprised no spirit has tried to get the Avatar's help with this "mysterious" spirit/shaman that's going around mind controlling spirits. Or maybe no one knows about him because he's mind controlled everyone who would've seen him mind control a spirit.
Pretty sure the bug thing stole it.
It's spirits mostly tied to the material world well before the convergence. Most spirits can't get through to the material world.
He cut it off himself.
Ah, they were referring to two different things. Maybe add an indented 'also' to the second one then.
Well, this meeting is off to a great start. Not only is the Renegade having to deal with the great British bureaucracy, but he's also having to face down demon worshippers. And probably their 'alien' masters, too.
Seriously? Does the man have no self-preservation instincts at all?
...I bet he's having such wonderful flashbacks to the Earth Sixteen British government right now...
Well, sounds like he at least has principles. Bad ones, but he has them.
I'd say something about that being Lovecraftian, but I'm pretty sure the setting has made that observation already. And explained that it's because Lovecraft had a bad time with said insect-fish, or something.
Like having someone breathing raggedly in your ear, but they're gone the second you try to look for them? I can picture it.
And they're about to come face-to-face with their doom?
Ah, his dad humour game is strong.
I bet the guy's boss felt a shudder of something for an instant, if it was smart enough to sense what the Renegade is...
I'm guessing it's not for reasons like the BBC series' version of Zaphod Beeblebrox, who apparently had a little extra something running into both trouser-legs as an unmentioned gag. Because heads and arms aren't the only thing he had extra of, supposedly...
Well, a challenge until you can stick it with your little knife. Still, best to not let it get any ideas.
Heh. If not for that spell, I wonder what people would have thought when they saw that twitch...
I'd make the obligatory 'Goo goo gajoob', but I see you handled that in a bit. It was that or a Doctor Robotnik joke.
It'd be a bit hard not to be, given what he is.
And nothing's weirder than DC's New Gods. And especially the Renegade's path to where he is now.
A god's work, yes. Your god's, no. Though it probably felt a little vexed by the competition.
So she's mainlining a chuuni? How appropriate.
Yes, the trap is sprung and the quarry has realised it's in deep doo-doo. They're not going to enjoy what comes next.
Set your own hours, get paid whatever you ask the desperate employer for and give obnoxious managers the what-for... It's good, fun work for a semi-retired fellow.
Try to curb the desire to slap some sense into him. It'd be counter-productive until after you've cleaned house.
And that slight noise you hear is every nerve in the bad guys' bodies tensing up.
...Too stupid to notice, or is something already wearing the fellow's skin, then?
To be honest, given his reach, it's not like he had to do much more than that.
...Okay, now the epithet makes sense.
Yikes.Yes, bit of a shock. Hopefully he has the Sanity remaining to tank the obvious San Loss.
Not quite having his 'legacy' in your hands, but I can understand not wanting to put your hands anywhere near the dick-bug.
How merciful. She'll probably end up spending a long time in jail or on death row for her part in this anyway.
Gee, if looks could kill... Well, this one would probably still bounce off the Renegade's metaphysique.
Just be careful about uploading its' memories.
...known to specialise in parasitic mind control...
...light up with the glory of the ascendant sun...
As you probably clicked past the notification, QQ just upgraded it's forum software. The forum techs will probably add the old skins back in when they're finished beating the new bugs to death and they don't think the server will catch fire.
For once, I knew exactly where one of your links was taking me.
She actually is mantling. It's a different process.
The forum 'upgraded' and there's no classic skin. I don't like it either, but hopefully one will get added later.
Thank you, corrected.
I post-date trhe 'Eggman' thing, and have no idea why they made that his name. A literal translation of a Japanese pun?
Eggman was always his official name in Japan. The Sega of America localization team decided renamed him without consulting the original development team. Later on, they explained it as Eggman being his nickname in the English language version as a way to merge the two different names.
Thank you, corrected.
No fault of the author but the forum update has made a merely boring update outright painful.
Hopefully that is the last of the Laundry Filed updates. Not getting back to the actual story for a while longer but at least the Avatar stuff is interesting.
I like the laundry files stuff. Am genuinely considering reading it now
Belated, but:
That was so awesome. So at the very least, Paul assimilated a spirit for each element, and now he can fake being a bender for each element whenever he wants? I can't wait to see the next part so that we can get other peoples' reactions. I hope they'll get to learn about the story of Avatar Wan early, since Paul becoming one with the Ophidian is pretty close to what happened with Wan and Raava.
