No, they have to be detailed because Ambrose is a literal genie.
Yes, because for all she knows there might be something else out there that can also do the job of killing her.
The core flaw that RWBY has, like a lot of modern entertainment, is the writing. There are places where it's not bad, but the writers seem to need to undermine any serious flaw (that is, any quality that the writers see as a serious flaw) that their main heroines have, rather than letting them naturally overcome them with time. So, Weiss is sort of prejudiced, but also kind of isn't, since any sign of it that we see is for an obvious (sometimes anvilicious) reason.
It's a derail.
you're
"Our"
That's...not at all reassuring.
Metis: I'm not a miracle worker!
Smart.
That should say 'it'.
I kinda hope Batman ends up becoming a New God of Knowledge like in that storyline where the Justice League became New Gods.
And now you see why OL was being so gloomy. I mean, it certainly doesn't look great on paper: Batman using New God tech to control mind-wiped superhuman operatives, JErvis Tetch with technology that may do the same thing, and human culture teetering on the edge of outbreaks of wars everywhere, held back mostly by the former two things...
He has money, power and resources. Can you suggest anyone else? Please, do.
And with the right nudges, ideally using his Desires, he can be reliably be pointed at a problem to solve it.
I mean, he probably had a few minor countries' governments in his pocket one way or another.
Lex Luthor with an Orange Ring. A scary thought, good or bad.
...Okay? Not sure what that's about...
Yes, well... that was a bad idea, but it could have been worse.
Unless there's some sort of gradual decay in the memory transfer process. Maybe Guardian was simpler or less stable, or Roy's mind was too twisty to work the same way.
Also a valid concern. One more unknowable factor.
...Huh, that is actually a concern. I mean, his Enlightenment would make the control less effective, but it could still nudge him.
I assume there's mental scanners or mystical wards that interfere with or detect that sort of thing.
Or someone with comparable tricks.
Upside, Metis being free of Zeus probably makes that more effective.
Still a strange idea, to have a random room just hanging over their moon pool. Edit: Ah, right, it's above the training room. Which makes it the control room for the training floor. Odd choice for an apartment, but I guess Reddy doesn't need much in the way of comforts...
gotta wonder what she grabbed.
Certainly, Canis had some measure of influence, but Donna might be less potent than him in those terms.
So, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Business as usual, then.
...Yeah, that would be bad. Especially if he can tap large numbers of people at once.
And have him check OL over while he's there, too. He might not notice certain kinds of influence through unfamiliarity, but an additional opinion is always good.
That's the rub, though. How would you know without sending out a ping that would let any infiltrators know you're looking.
Again, unknown factors. This is like juggling an equation with multiple variables that can move about on their own.
Especially if one can amplify the other...
Again, juggling unknown variables. Any number of which might actually be live, long-fuse grenades.
Ah. Well, if it works, it works.
I think it was more the moment of surprise it inflicted than the actual bop.
Technically, he probably isn't one now, he just seems like one. Let's not go leaping to conclusions.
That much is accurate. Just don't let your assumptions get away from you.
No, they just know him well enough to understand that he doesn't always have the wisest ideas. Hence the newspaper.
Thank you, corrected.
Except literally.
Thank you, corrected.
No, it's over the main training area. The Mountain has four zeta tubes, two in the training room and two in the hangar.
"Metis: There are limits.
'been'
I am now wondering if Lex is once again entertaining the possibility of recruiting Oh El, or if he still believes (probably rightly) that it's hopeless.
'its'
'expanded'
Cute!
Mister Atom stays winning. But honestly I kind of doubt it, does he even have a soul? I feel like a soul would be necessary to interface directly with New God technology.
I think he's like Red Tornado and is basically powered by some kind of radiation elemental, so he probably does have some kind of mystic presence.
Oh yeah, that's totally true. I regret doubting the illustrious Mister Atom for even a moment. Though if it's necessary to be a New God, I'm still not sure if that's possible for him. But maybe it is, beings on Earth tend to be compatible with ascension because of… the Life Entity? Was it ever explained? If it is the Life Entity that causes it, I suppose it might extend to Mister Atom since he was created on Earth. I wonder what he'd be the New God of.
I think it's because the Life Entity.
My guess is radiation.
Thank you, corrected.
They'd both like to recruit each other.
. Mostly to see batman throwing the towel; "... what? Batman is taking vacations? why?".
He's concerned that he might well be. It could be someone completely different..
Oh wow, haven't seen that brought out for ages.
