NekoIncardine

True. But I specifically volunteered her for a significant injury, and without a plan specifically built around teleport-escaping, she's not abandoning any of the group. XD

Tobias would dive in but a shock that would be damaging to a human would stop a bird's heart and he can't morph out of that if he's unconscious.
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
Right now, if anyone's being especially severely affected, Megaera can move to help them, and that's her best thing right now...
Floogy

Now, I could leave a tag, but I'm thinkin' it best to slide in for coordination... (plus I'll need to leave for work in a short bit, so I won't be able to follow up right away)
boop
10 years ago
FIRST THING. Ikuri = good hearing, definitely heard the click. Might be instinct to sort out where it came from, but there was only the split-second and I'm not sure she would've picked that out. Your call.
boop
10 years ago
Definitely detected it; direction, though...
boop
10 years ago
I'm thinkin' when the electricity starts, the first impulse will be to backpedal - and when someone dives into the electricity to do Things, be they rescue or whatnot--
boop
10 years ago
...for a brief spot, I wondered if she was going to end up opening fire on the sparking junkpile, but then I realized we're safe - too many people nearby, too much splash. Even she knows that. |D
boop
10 years ago
(YES, SHOOT THE DANG THING TO DEATH, THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MAKE IT STOP)
boop
10 years ago
Protective instincts are go, but she's not going to know what to do unless she can zero in on that click - and that assuming it came from somewhere other than from within the pile.
boop
10 years ago
In the latter case, the information will be useless to her, so she's mostly not going to know what to do. SHE CAN'T GUARD AGAINST THIS except by maybe pulling people away.
boop
10 years ago
(I didn't think much beforehand about what electricity would do to her. (thinking))
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
...y'know, this is bendable for Zuko. I'm just not sure where she would direct it. (thinking)
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
she's got good hearing, she would have heard the click, too, but zapping back at it while everyone is still close is probably a Bad Idea.
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
Hrm. If she could suppress it perhaps?
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
she can only channel it, she can't like... absorb it. it has to go somewhere.
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
I mean I guess that could be the sky or the far side of the clearing until everyone's out of the way?
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
Sounds good. Or into Megaera since she is immune
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
I think she's told Zuko this but Zuko would never do that
Gayple
10 years ago
you can have Zuko channel it if you want! That will certainly help the others
Gayple
10 years ago
well. as long as you don't have her channel it in Vee and Zee's direction
/CRASHES BACK IN HERE I should tag for N now
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
well everyone's more or less on the same side of the clearing I'm assuming??
Gayple
10 years ago
yeah
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
yeah there we go
MR SEPHIROTH

also note to self: draw some Zuzu lightning bending
NekoIncardine

crona can totally save zuko!

yeah DW can be weird like that
Floogy
10 years ago
I was deliberating Mitellux human shielding but ok now she can just concentrate on offense
MR SEPHIROTH
10 years ago
well if the people shooting the arrows are close enough, Zuko might be able to redirect the lightning there but uh. I don't think her trying to target moving objects will work out lol
Gayple
10 years ago
Someone would have to go check in the direction the arrows are coming from!

even if characters haven't interacted much (or.. at all) with Crona, Crona's been around and in the background since... actually since before anyone in this thread was in game

Megaera's going to do the opposite of Shooter and Mitellux, and put defense above all else. That said, she is definitely going Full Nightmare Form.

And Tobias is going to be really upset that morphing doesn't work faster, because... he's going dragon.
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
BTW, I figured out that Megaera can, in a pinch, escape with one person and the Core.
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
Reduce Person lowers someone's weight to 1/8th normal for (in her case) six minutes. That'd be around 20-30 pounds.
NekoIncardine
10 years ago
She could also escape with two people, but no core.
Gayple
10 years ago
good thing I had that in mind when I planned this event
enLIGHTened

OH RIGHT IN CASE ANYONE WAS WONDERING

SO QUESTION BEFORE I TAG did Meg get a chance to grab N and drag his ass out?
NekoIncardine

N is... not a good anything but he does have Zoroark who is a really powerful Dark type. Also Altaria is young but hey Dragon has some advantages.

NekoIncardine

Dragon is nice yes
enLIGHTened

and re: crona and electricity, soul-based attacks manifest in way similar to electricity in canon and so in-game i've had electrical attacks be able to mess with ragnarok's ability to alter his form
Floogy
10 years ago
Mitellux figures the enemies are too far from them to waste her acid breath on, and alll the trees would dilute the attack too

enLIGHTened
10 years ago
yeah, unless i'm reading her attacks wrong (i'm canonblind)
boop
10 years ago
IIRC from her app, the 3x a day limit mainly applies to summoning her cannon, not using it. This would've been two at the most; one to bring it during combat, one during the pre-mission briefing to show the-
boop
10 years ago
-others her particular powers. If you're thinking of the rocket-jump, it's not a special move in itself; just something she can command the cannon to do in place of firing the normal shots.
enLIGHTened
10 years ago
ah, that makes sense! i wasn't sure if you were using summoning as the power use or firing as the power use!
boop
10 years ago
(I must confess that particular rocket-jump maneuver doesn't occur in OVA canon at all I'm thinkin' it's something she came up with during the AU phase in the app.)

(thinking) As this point, there might not be a chance to. Her restrictable powers are pretty few, I think; only the cannon really applies. Everything else - the superhuman stuff - is innate.
boop

Ironically, though, you ended up right. If we implemented the above handwave that she showed the cannon to her fellows, she actually is near her power limit, but she would need to desummon the cannon again.

So if it does happen like that she's going to be like YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCUSE, WE HAD THEM ON THE RUN
