Which is not, perhaps, new to everyone.

Oh my.

This is the best horrible news.

Heheh.

....oh man this is good

Oh MAN

daaaaaamn

Holy cow

... suddenly SOMEONE'S Feelings Friday questions take on a more sinister tone

welp

holy crap

oh snap

It's almost like someone was subtly prepping us for this

LMFAO

Goddamn it!

oh man I was gonna go to bed early now I have Diana doing the dramatic speechifying in my head

oh my

Do you have ANY idea what it's like to have an Amazon warrior princess doing that? With the "I will not allow innocent lives to be sacrificed for the sake of my own comfort!"

Way to give Pepper a guilt complex if she over hears that, Diana.

She has a long list of logical reasons for why they should think about the larger world, and is terrified that her real reason is she wants to go home.

(Basically, she should totally overhear that)

Diana is just waaaaaaay too self-sacrificing and self-righteous.

like, I should totally show you the trade I have where she fights Medusa- she doesn't mess around with shiny shields or anything, no. She cuts off a snake-hair, sticks the fangs in each eye to BLIND HERSELF

...dang.

Kaidan's thinking thoughts about the Terrible Calculus. Bones wants a third option. Zevran... doesn't actually give a shit how things fall out, either way he's not going back to Thedas.

The choice was made for Wedge

Other people > Himself

The only reason she got her sight back after the Medusa sight was because one of the Greek Gods had the same reaction you did. Diana... is like that.

then there was the time she fought and took down the entire justice league, one by one, so she could take on an enemy by herself because a prophesy said whoever fought that enemy would die defeating it

...I'm sorry, I derailed things a little there. /geekmoment.

I'm pretty sure I see the phrase "the Spiderman choice" coming in Molly's future

Also I guess Kaylee's finally coming clean about the fact that she's known she GOT there that SHE wasn't going home at any rate

There. Pepper is thinking logistics.

Diana, Princess of Themysicra, Queen of Guilt Trips

Mind if I have Wedge tag Diana?

sure, though Diana's is in response to Pepper's

I was gonna have Wedge tag Pepper too so he'd be addressing both, but if you'd rather me not threadjack, that's alright too

totally cool with it if Pepper is

Sure, hop in.

Although I don't mean to be the only top level!

it totally helps imagining that speech if you imagine Diana as sounding like Gina Torres. Tooooootally under-appreciated as a Wonder Woman voice actress.

Currrent other top level option: Twelve year old girl

ooh, Diana may have to tag Molly. (No, Diana, you cannot adopt her and start your own island of Amazons facepalm)

Spoilers: Molly doesn't like this choice

Aww, Molly

I'm sure we're all shocked that MOlly is unhappy about something

If it helps, Molly, they're both the right choice and both horribly painful.

(Which sounds better than saying there's no right choice.)

(Maybe)

(though one does kind of mean we need a new game)

(from an OOC perspective, I mean)

(Or we go reality-hopping on the big spaceship)

(Oooh, fun!)

(PG's already rewritten the game setting once before, after all.)

(oops we broke it)

Molly doesn't like your complex morality where there's no good option! She wants twelve year old logic to be valid again.

(And this time we can't blame Atticus)

(SURE WE CAN)

it wrong that if it does go in that direction, my first thought was "oooh man Diana going out in a blaze of glory with Veranda would be EPIC" because I'm horrible?

Standing there fighting the incursions of wraiths and bone monsters until she's overpowered in a glorious last stand?

Then takes her previous status amongst the Olympians as the Goddess of Truth?

Or, y'know, unravels into non-existance in horribly painful fashion.

Or turns into her Nu52 counterpart, same difference

OUCH

Snrk

That is a fate worse than Death

although I don't think I'll ever top that time I had Jono blow himself up to kill zombies in terms of character self-sacrifice

Though really, DC unierse, Death'll give you a big hug

Just so no one weighs "will there be a game" in the balance: I have stuff written out that will allow the game to continue either way.

Well, everyone getting Corellian bloodstripes

(Also, it's not like they can fix everything and stay/blow things up tomorrow, it'll take a while and there will be hurdles.)

I did rather figure you wouldn't put up an IC choice that ended the game with one option

That was the best what-if, belatedly.

There. I'm off to bed, but I figure I'd jump in ahead of Wedge with some history lessons.

I figured there would be a game regardless of what characters said

If we do reality hopping, I so have to inflict a different alt on you all, though. Perhaps alts. Fair warning.

you now, wait til you get Mia and She-Hulk on a space ship

I think there will have to be Bones and trying to think of third options (and probably bugging Salvation about it) tomorrow.

I encourage all attempts to take a third option.

why, why can't I just do a serious thread without making TERRIBLE jokes in the narration

ugh i was gonna tag this as soon as i got home but i have sleepy brain

i'll hit it tomorrow when i have rested

There, Kaidan, for any new folks who want an info dump.
