Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

[Mad Mask]

I've decided to make a Fat Fish Fury comic. Please do not make anything related to the main plot.

I've decided to do something else.

[CrimsonAngel]

I wish it was still random and fun... We hardly see jokes anymore, Keris' comic was like a breath of fresh air.

I miss the good ol' days back in ABR III when we had just started the plot and nothing ever made sence.

Like where Salmon tried dating Treeshades, but then Leroy and Treeshades... And then Treeshades and that other fish... And Salmon almost killed Leroy?

*cries in corner*


Random dude: Look at that! Yall' made a little girl cry.

Me:... I'm a guy you jack as*.

Random dude:My apologies little girl.

Me: Fireball.

[memnarch]

Yes, I know that. I'm not saying a character of a different race is racist on it's own.

But his albino has RED EYES! I'm pretty sure only abino animals have red eyes. I have yet to meet any human, albino or otherwise, with red eyes.

Albinism is the partial or complete lack of pigment in a living thing. That means skin, hair, and eyes. The skin would then be white, same with the hair, but the eyes are red because of all the blood vessels inside the iris.

Yeah! I DEMAND RANDOMNESS! We must get back to how we once were!
Have we all forgotten the motto?

"Madness? MADNESS?!?
This.
IS!
ABR!!!"

*signs my name on a pice of Paper*

Nameless.

Who's with me?!? O_e

[Falgorn]

*Burns the piece of paper.* I'M WITH YOU! WOOHOO! ANARCHY!

I've got a comic in progress at this moment, but it doesn't change much. Nameless can attest that I started it before you posted as I was IMing him at the time.

*Burns the piece of paper.* I'M WITH YOU! WOOHOO! ANARCHY!

Anarchy =/= Chaos

Falgorn, you were supposed to sign your name on that paper... It was a patition.

...

You weren't supposed to burn it...

[CrimsonAngel]

YEAH! Only I can set crap on fire!

[DoomITP]

Well, Dekopin could well be enjoying herself, so she could be having fun. The entire situation is a joke, several people have found it funny, and having closed the portal (which is now in a stable state), it is most definitely affecting the story. You were even planning to have the Shades visit the Plane, which would most certainly sever a story purpose.

I thought it was funny...

[Falgorn]

Falgorn, you were supposed to sign your name on that paper... It was a patition.

...

Ohhh...*Signs on a new paper.* Awesome. And I've never heard of a patition, only petitions.

[Shades of Gray]

So gods are immune to incarnum?

Anyway, making a new comic. Oliver's going to the ethereal plane to the base of operations for the planar journeymen. There's been a disturbance in the natural planar scheme (Igon Minoblendy summoning a portal to the plane of incarnum), so all of the planar journeymen (and women) have to report in.

[Mad Mask]

Everybody can survive Incarnum. But no-one, I repeat, absolutely no-one, can survive the Plane of Incarnum.

There is no entity or material (other than Incarnum, obviously), even deities, capable of existing for more than a few instants in this location.

And Magic Physics deals with the supernatural, yes. It's not because we can study it that it suddenly becomes natural.

So if you pop in and out every few seconds, you can survive?

Blink-Level 3 spell.

I'm not sure if a Standard Action is short enough...seriously I'd avoid the place in general, but I'm willing to assume that Dekopin doesn't follow the laws of physics (Even those governing magic and Incarnum) as defined within Avbaroy's planar universe, not unlike how the overdeities (Which is why that quotation specifically notes deities, but doesn't mention "over-" variants) don't function by the physical laws of any planar universe.

At least in order that we get things moving.




But for Boccob's sake...don't open that door without any protective magic

[Falgorn]

Hey, I just saw where MM is from! I went to Montreal a few months ago...all the people there were mean to me.

[Shades of Gray]

I love Montreal. It's nine-bajillion times better than Toronto. I've got to go back there again soon. Toronto hockey sucks. I still consider Montreal my hometown though, even though I only lived there for the first three years of my life.

Sorry for the double post.

I think I've found a way around this finally. What if oliver emanated an aura of nothing. Not air, nothing. Absolutely no atoms, no incarnum, etc. If it constantly came forth from his body, then the incarnum wouldn't go into the aura. The incarnum would not touch him, thus, no danger.

...eh what?

You're saying that by emanating nothing, he could survive?

I'm not sure how that works.

[Mad Mask]

I have an idea about the Shades battle:

At the end of the battle, Almighty Salmon causes (by accident) the Shades to go through the portal, bursting the door and killing them. Igon can't close the portal, and it starts to pour Plane of Incarnum essence into the world, destroying everything in its path. Before fleeing, however, Igon manages to stabilise the portal a bit, massively slowing the Incarnum flow.

Essentially, Dekopin doomed Avbaroy by her actions.

Okay... I'm going to need to do a diagram.

For a ten year old, you arn't very happy and fun...

No-one that Magic Physics knows about.

And Magic Physics deals with the supernatural, yes. It's not because we can study it that it suddenly becomes natural.

If something is supernatural, then it defies the natural laws. Incarnum follows natural laws, and is part of the "natural" universe in Avbaroy. It's not supernatural when you can make solid definitions about how it works and acts.

I'm willing to assume that Dekopin doesn't follow the laws of physics (Even those governing magic and Incarnum) as defined within Avbaroy's planar universe, not unlike how the overdeities (Which is why that quotation specifically notes deities, but doesn't mention "over-" variants) don't function by the physical laws of any planar universe.

Thank you Lying. Dekopin isn't an ascended Human Soul, she's something else. What she is may come up in FI, if I decided that she needs more fleshing out than "Random god for the sake of randomness".

But for Boccob's sake...don't open that door without any protective magic

I'm agreeing with Lying here. Breaking down the door would be a Very Bad Thing.

EDIT: Blasted slow connection...

I'd prefer Salmon to just kill the Shades with the power of good or whatever, but that could work. However, if you do punt the Shade into the stable pocket Dekopin apparently has on the other side of the Portal, then it's not going to dissolve straight off. And the door can be replaced, so that's not going to doom Avbaroy.

[Lemming]

Yay for actually trying finding a way it would work instead of complaining. Now we need some way the portal will affect the plot without just tossing the shades in. Like maybe Almighty's amulet reacted to the pure incarnum strangely or something. Not that anybodies listening to me...
@X2: Don't forget me! I'm back at base!

And finally:
LEAFS SUCK!

[CrimsonAngel]

LEAVES!

[Shades of Gray]

'ere we go.

[Mad Mask]

The Plane of Incarnum idea, as I understood it, was not to remove the Epic Battle™, but to have a solution to the Shades nasty manner of coming back from the dead.

So, according to my idea, Epic Battle™ happens, Shades is near finished and crosses the portal, never to be seen again. If Dekopin closed the door, maybe Salmon blinded the Shades and it blindly charged, bursting the door and permanently destroying them. Or something.

^I think the lack of oxygen is not the only problem with the plan.

[Shades of Gray]

He has the breathing device. Regardless, why not? He's not touching either low or high incarnum. Thus, no danger. The incarnum can't reach him due to the constant stream of nothing, stopping the incarnum from rushing in like air rushing into an airless room.
