Ah, yes, the wife of Manitou Raven. Well, his wife and later successor. A strong, independent-minded woman, from an era when that was considered a bad thing. She might do well in this era. Especially if she's studied the same magic as Raven.
I mean, Raven does clean up nicely, but he has been in sort-of seclusion for several thousand years.
Though her turning up would probably put a dour spin on the affair.
She may know, but does she understand? There's a difference between not seeing a place for a few years or such, and not seeing it for several thousand.
To be fair, she can get around the language barrier with magic, though the cultural ones might be trickier.
Admittedly, Raven was a couple of decades older, I think and a workaholic. He probably expected her to look elsewhere, as long as she returned to him.
Quite a few things skipped, yes. But I suspect that very determined and headstrong nature is why she didn't stay in the past. Raven is her man, wherever she may stray, and she will be with him.
Ah, right, how to explain it. since they came along sometime after the Ancient League's day...
The joy of trying to work out names she might recognise. Because names like 'Aegean Sea' and 'Greece' are much newer.
Wrong thing to say, given that Whaler was a bit of a psycho.
"It's taller than it used to be..."
A suitably durable window can be surprisingly resistant to impact. I remember seeing a video of a man running from police in a motel room trying to jump through his window and simply bouncing off and looking rather foolish...
So, jsut some bruised knuckles, maybe a bleeding scrape or two. Could have been worse if she had broken it, of course.
Nice bit of 'you saw nothing' energy there.
I suspect she's very old friends with pain, given her origins.
...Probably safer than giving her a handsome young man to work with.
Nice of him to be self-aware enough that he's not going to play the 'kyle' role here.
Ah, that'll be her calling in to let him know what she found.
...There's quite a few Joys about. None I know of in superheroic circles, certainly...
In the games, it's probably just sprite re-use that became a tradition. In the anime... It was weird. Apparently it's a family name, and business.
No, OL isn't trying to get you to ease off on the superheroing.
And somewhere, Giovanni Zatara shudders without really knowing why.
Ah, right, the rune OL and Balewa found. So they're the same one? Interesting... Not necessarily one used in the sinking or raising of Atlantis, then.
Interesting indeed...
Unless that's what some of the zombies were doing: Collecting it manually as some manner of group...
Like that would stop some powerful mages.
Which raises the question of how long she's been involved in this, if she is at all...
still so many unknowns yet to solve...
Okay, she might take a little longer to get used to things like this...
Admittedly, he might be a little blunt about certain subjects. I hope he's been studying interactions with humanoids.
Actually all humans in Pokemon are magical, so the answer would be yes, she is a magical nurse.
Thank you, corrected.
Not yet due to Celestial Archer getting powered up by his goddess, but he's a good deal closer than he was.
No, she hasn't. As far as I remember from the comics, she basically used his equipment and had to learn magic nearly from scratch.
Taught her magic? How?
I thought her husband's spirit somehow shared/transferred all his magical power and knowledge to her?
There's the one from Gate or whatever its called where he is just a ring.
That's Future Paul. Hopefully the next time we see him he's still in the world of Avatar. I'm still hoping we'll see the reunion between Zuko and Azula.
I don't know what that is.
"Hello Zuzu."
I wrote one, and the author of the short-lived Teal Lantern fic popped by to complain about it. Not about the content, but about me.
Really? What did they complain about?
Using their content and throwing it online publicly without any sort of discussion or permission with the author started things on the wrong foot.
A person who wrote fanfiction without the permission of the owners of the cartoon got mad that a person wrote fanfiction of their fanfiction without their permission.
As far as I remember, the thing that got me kicked off SV.
While modern American and British cultures are mostly similar, there are subtle differences, yes. Even things as simple as spelling their words without certain letters.
The same thing extends to places like Australia and New Zealand, who are also similar yet distinct...Probably a smart idea. You might have to work around that when the family starts getting underway, unless you want to take to biking.
Fortunately, England, Australia and the rest don't have them, as far as I know. And thank goodness for that. It must be something about American suburban culture that makes people go all weird when they get a little taste of power in a HOA...
Not an unreasonable way to look at it...
I'm sure Rogue would love to hear you refer to her as an 'exotic.. thingie.' And I'm surprised his 'hollow' nature hasn't come up before, though the majority of the cartoons this setting is based on lacked true magic stuff for the most part anyway.
And it can be extended neatly to cover synthetic intellects. By that logic, beings like the Vision are people.
Ah, it's going to be one of those musings, then.
Oh, that is such a legal tangle, I'm not touching it with a barge pole...
Because positive x-genes are too unpredictable to find this early, attempts to analyse genetics for them would be skeevy as eugenically, and who wants to be the scientist who experimented on unborn babies to work that stuff out?
I can't imagine people would want to keep track of such things. And unless it's particularly spectacular, how would you even tell?
Eh, you'll find assholes everywhere. Some are just more discreet about it.
Looking to get that law overturned, eh?
Such is the weirdness that results in a country being over a thousand years old with governmental practices that haven't changed significantly in centuries.
It's not like they ride around in full-plate, which she may be picturing... These days, it's mostly just a title and associated land.
Most of the real power is in the lower house, anyway, from what I gather.
Honestly, it's one of the stronger Cabinet seats, behind the Prime Minister. And apparently one of the busiest? Edit: And the Chancellor of the Exchequer, appropriately.
After all, when they serve 'at the monarch's pleasure', replacing them without direct royal intervention (or the political equivalent) is pretty much... Well, if it goes that far, you'd better hope they're willing to listen.
People sometimes forget, the X-men do recruit from all over the world. Which must be complicated as heck to get visas for voerseas nationals. The Professor probably has to call in favours from his government contacts, I bet...
Ah, good on you. That's always a pain. Had a patch of the living room ceiling turning black after a roof leak until it finally got fixed and the damaged section replaced...
Yeah, being obtuse isn't going to fly with her, Paul.
And honestly, given his powerset, he'd be able to fix the place up no problem once all the legalities are dealt with.
This is why Scott and Jen tended to live near the Mansion or in fairly remote places, isn't it?
Eh, they're more skinheads and yobbos at this point in time, I bet.
It also helps that the UK doesn't have the same 'freedom of assembly' laws as the US. Less roving lynch mobs, more individual gangs roaming about, for a start.
...Wonder if Rogue actually know how to cook? I could see her wanting to learn.
Don't really need an office when you have a Power Ring, especially as the Internet gets more developed.
Somehow, I don't think that's what Rogue is asking...
Classy.
He has a power ring.
Genome sequencing is a thing in the 90s, but it's a slow and expensive thing.
While what he's saying is more or less true in the 90s, it's completely different now.
Yes, and that change happened organically. There was no legislation that changed the Prime Minister from being a House of Lords thing to being a House of Commons thing.
After the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
I'm not sure that the setting has force field generators.
It's Marvel Earth, everywhere has been attacked in various comics and shows.
