    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The prison nazi is someone who ended up in prison, with all that says about characters traits and life choices. Prison tends to strip away all the little social lies and niceties we take for granted, and return things to a state of nature. In prison you either form up along ethnic lines or get...

    SB was always a question of when, not if. I went there fully aware of that fact. I was contacted by a mod exactly once. He said "you're using 'nigger' too much, you have to censor that." Well, at the end of two paragraphs of "you are bad and you should feel bad, but you're not breaking any rules...

    Well, by revealing the one I feel like I provided a pretty big hint towards another...

    It's not story breaking as such - you can make a story about an exalt in Worm going around being superhumanly good at everything. People have done it before. But that's not what I wanted to do. I wanted something that focused on individual charms that did interesting things, and where power had...

    I dunno. I had no spontaneous ideas for Leet, and I didn't waste time thinking about it since I knew it would never come up. Just like Triumph, Skidmark, and many others. This is streaming we're talking about. Just Shaping the Ideal Form and a career as 'The Girl' would have worked. But it...

    What can I say, I am firmly against Chekov's right to bear arms. The idea that every gun that appears must be fired makes things contrived and predictable. I prefer haphazard and unpredictable. I had to get it out of my head somehow, it was taking up far too much space. And a personal motto...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Could have sworn I threadmarked it. Fixed. I'm not chased off. I'm just, you know, brain all wrung out of ideas. Yes. A concept like this requires either all of the planning or none of it, and I chose the former. Right from the start I had a spreadsheet laying out charm studyin' time day...

    That's a good point, why didn't she just drop stealth and go for the hug, instead of writing a note? I mean, she definitely survived the complete destruction of Brockton Bay, right? It wasn't Contessa, a note-sized portal and the path to maintaining a crucial asset. Wasn't Dragon with a stealth...

    1.8 megabytes of raw text, huh? Sounds like a lot. Felt like a lot. I suppose I'll host general discussion and questions of the work as a whole, until the thread gets archived as complete or sinks into the abyss, or whatever happens to stories when they end.

    You find yourself in a familiar silver desert, but something is different this time. The perpetual night is marred by a golden glow seeming to come from just below the horizon. Considering what you were just doing, that's deeply worrying. With a heavy heart, you set out. You failed, and a lot of...

    Heh. Facts I offer up: The explodees are people who deliberately impair happiness and/or prosperity. The US government is toast. The audience conclusion: Well, since 100% of the US government is made up of jews, and 100% of jews are evil... And people have been calling me a nazi. Culling...

    The irony is that if Eidolon had gone full cartoon villain and openly declared "Muahahaha! I want to DESTROY THE WORLD!", Cauldron could have worked with that. Let the Endbringers rampage 24/7, portal every fresh trigger to Earth Yod the moment they appear, set off the apocalypse in the ruins...

    In a world not your own, outside a circle drawn to match the schematics engraved in your soul, you intone a chant. It is several hours long, and in a language no one else speaks. But if it were to be condensed and translated, the gist of it would be: "By thy true name I summon and bind thee...

    Conventionally, acquiring each successive tier of sorcery requires some form of sacrifice. Consider this requirement fulfilled - for all that she is unaging, she left parts of herself behind in that darkness. On a related note, you have until Z.02 tomorrow to guess what she got from eating...

    Things can't go on like this, you reflect as you step through into another of Cauldron's white rooms. The Behemoth-Felling Strike was immediately countered, and you shudder to think what absurd monstrosity will appear next, that would counter your void form. Oh, with the support of Cauldron and...

    Leviathan has set his status to Busy. Reason: Household chores. Leviathan: Just doing the washing away. Leviathan is no longer Busy. Behemoth: Nice one bro. *fistbump* Leviathan: Dunno what was supposed to be special about this one. Simurgh: ¬‿¬ Leviathan: Hm. Behemoth has set his status to...

    Once you're done, Contessa portals you into a vast hall (same sterile white non-decor as always) filled with capes gathered into several distinct groups. "Khonsu just appeared in Qiqihar, China," she says. "I will not enter the CUI," you counter. She just nods in response. If they know...

    You'll note her priorities: Him being food safe (not a case 53) was higher than him being able to give consent. Bubbles/Fenrir.

    As you emerge from the sands, you glance up. You cannot see the sky. It appears New Dawn has followed your instructions, and constructed a giant tent roof over the Silver Desert, high enough that it does not crumble into sand. Not that any rain ever hits the desert regardless of the mortal...
