Der Gebogene wird selber Bieger: Kirche the Zero Quest

Presumably Mercury likes fat bottomed girls. I'm pretty sure Kirche fits that bill.

They might be sharing boys...
 
GODDAMN IT! The fluff... the bonds of friendship... so goddamn tempting... so goddamn in-character given the right circumstances... and I won't be able to write any of it.

:-[ Sabishiko desu.

... tell me. Exactly how incredibly disrespectful of real-world suffering would it be for me to handwave the familiar contract's lifespan-extending qualities for animals into neutralizing HIV?

Ugh, maybe I should just veto Mercury. :( This... it might not be right. I didn't think it through.

How disrespectful of real-world suffering is it for Star Trek to have food replicators neutralize starvation, or for clerics in Dungeons and Dragons to neutralize death?

Besides, considering everything the contract would need to do in order to keep a cat or frog functioning for a human's lifespan, it wouldn't be much of a handwave. It already prevents organ failure, cellular decay, a bundle of neurological disorders, and probably a ton of other stuff I can't be bothered to think about and list. Extending that to viruses shouldn't be too difficult.
 
Another consideration with Mercury is that Freddie is not Queen. Without his band he is greatly diminished, his talent as a singer is still very impressive, but I'm not sure that his super-stardom can really carry over without his band and the technology they relied on to back them up.

Well, it'd be a mote point in world right? AIDs wasn't exactly a well known disease when Freddie died from it, I'm fairly certain that I read somewhere that no-one knew quite why he died for some time.

Freddie would never mention it because he didn't know it existed, and Kirche wouldn't either. If the runes looked at that and just made it go away because of how stupidly dangerous it was, that'd actually seem pretty accurate.

If Freddie felt better than he had in a long time, well, he couldn't wield a sword or watch his master throw explosions before this either could he?

On that note, are you still thinking Gandalfr?

That's not what I read.

He'd be the only one who knows it exists, though, since there's a pretty good chance of AIDS not existing in Halgenkia. And in order for him to know that the familiar contract killed it, he'd need access to someone capable of testing for it. There's unlikely to be a lot of those in a society that probably hasn't figured out germ theory yet.
 
Some Googling indicates that oral is safe barring open wounds in the involved areas if the infected person is the one with the dick in their mouth, but I have no idea if someone from the 1980's would know that. This is probably the last I have to contribute to the subject, as I have no intention of researching Freddie Mercury's attitude towards giving blowjobs.
 
Mr Rogers? Man, I take it back, Mr Rogers was totally my childhood hero. Where's that clip of him addressing congress?
 
Alright Rogers, you get the floor.

After a good night's rest, official veto for Freddie Mercury. I don't wanna have to dance around AIDS in a light-hearted quest. That's just unseemly.

And I can't write Mr Rogers. He scares me.

Oh dear. Poor Freddy is suffering discrimination because of his condition. ???

He was actually bi, Bii-kun. Such fabulousness must be shared between the sexes, it's only fair.

I know, I know, but at least with this option I'm passively doing 'harm' to the guy's memory as opposed to pissing on his grave. I don't think I could take the sheer amount of suck that would arise from me attempting to handle AIDS in a tasteful manner in a quest where the player character is polyamorous. It can be done, but I am not talented enough and I freely acknowledge that.

Koschei I know only by reputation. I don't know Ferdinand at all. Teddy Roosevelt gets too much facetime on the internet as it is. I've never played FF7. Rue is from Princess Tutu? Man, I really need to finish that series sometime. I don't know Carlos Casetaneda. I don't know enough about beastie-boy. Iago would be kinda one-note, don't you think? I mean, when he isn't fucking with people, what is he doing? And, sadly, I have not yet read the Ciaphas Cain books, and I don't know what Brightwall is, if you're going for an additional crossover.

@/////@ So much Lupin! Are you trying to give me a squee-induced aneurysm?

Don't know Reisen, no one knows enough about Jack the Ripper without just flat-out makin' shit up, Otto von Bismarck I don't know well enough (though I know enough to know I don't see a way to avoid a Guiche/Louise/Tabitha/Montmorency/Reynald/Gimli/Colbert/Irukuku/basically any named character duel)., Gustavus Adolphus is too obscure for me as a North American (*is ashamed of herself*).

Vlad of Wallachia I might be able to manage; have you ever read The Historian?
 
You know... I give up. I'm sorry FurikoMaru, but I sense this quest is not for me.

I do wish you all the best with it, thou.
 
^^ I can definitely see how you'd come to that decision. I'm really complaining a lot, aren't I?

I guess this'll teach me to start these on a whim with so little structure. :-\ Sorry.

I just always feel a little sad when people come into quests late and go, "Aw, damn, I would have suggested (awesome person)." So I wanted to give everyone a chance to really brainstorm.

I didn't factor in how much extra stuff there is about historical folk that I'd need to know in order to run them as characters. I mean hell, Alexander is my childhood hero, and I don't know enough about Aristotelian thought to fully understand his background education and by extension how he'd react to a whole slew of things.

Please come back when this matter is settled and try again. Please?

XD Why do you guys keep naming people who will actually know what to do in this situation?
