This should either produce a 600 foot diameter sphere of Absolute Silence, or a strange cacophonic mix of loud noises. Either way, it is guaranteed to mess with the concentration of people who need focussed thought to activate or use their powers.

Hey, guys...
I have a question or two for you, since I don't want to upset anything you might have in mind for the zwilnik/thionite story threads, and I'm not sure who's handling the main thrust of these part of the plot.
First: Valles, I think your character had an attack on them on Venus, as part of an investigation there. Was that going from the Con to Venus, and if so, what day was it, Con-wise?
Second - what would be reasonable info for a thug to give out, after having several bad options pointed out to him, health-wise? Figuring a younger thug, so probably more vulnerable to persuasion. Not looking for much, but I wanted to run the idea past you guys, to see what you thought would be useful/reasonable to drag out of him. Possibly immediate boss, though how far up that would go, I have no clue. Is there any information in particular that you would like to release into the story, that a lower-level thug might be able to do so for you? Let me know, either through here, email, or IM? If I haven't already, I'll be sure to post all my contact info in that thread. Thanks.

They pull something like this.
What kind of fucked up country do you haveto be where this could ever be considered acceptable language from a public official? And Japan is having a population crisis? Japan, one of if not the most overpopulated countries in the world. They should be happy their population is dropping.
Ugh. I'm just going to go be offended in private now.

I'm going to try to play tonight at 9 Eastern as per my pre-holiday schedule; if there're any 50s online, expect me to ask to SK.

I took the time last night and removed two characters from the SG.
Kikukawa Yukino, she's mine and I don't play her anyway. and
Reflected Glory.
I sent Reflected an E-Mail letting them know when they want to join up again to contact myself, Eva, or Lora, just to be nice since I have no Friggin Idea who plays her.
oh and Shizuru hit level 43.
That is all.

Apologies if anyone's already recced this but I've been on a GITS kick (first time I've watched the anime! I've only watched the movie before) recently and searched up these two.

Thanks to Basaken for the help.

So, I've been thinking about a Mai-HiME plot bunny.
Say that, rather than telling the Obsidian Lord to go do something anatomically impossible, Mai accepts his offer, then promptly backstabs him before he can lock her away.
Then, rather than making a world according to her desires, she starts trying to set up various combinations of events to try and achieve the best balance between everyone's ideals.
And what the heck does that mean? It means that she creates the Mai-HiME manga continuity. And Otome. And its manga. And quite possibly a large number of other universes. And then lets them collapse when they all end up averaging exactly the same.
Eventually, she concludes that that line of investigation is a dead end and follows the logic that she jumped to intuitively in canon - that the most moral choice was to let people make their own decisions, and just hope for the best.
But... those 'possibility model' worlds... they were real, too, in their own way. Maybe not as real, but...
So she thought about it for a while, then restarted the 'real' world... while letting people remember any lives they had lived in the projections. Then she took the power from the festival... and spread it out thin, tucking it away in individual shares for people to access or not, as they chose.
Created magic. Rather than stay God.
Of course, that meant that the HiME were still HiME, but hey - Kagutsuchi might be a heckova problem to house-train, but no one could say he wasn't useful...
Then, at last, she goes to bed and sleeps the sleep of the just.
And when she wakes up she realizes that the rules mean she's remembering the lives she would have had, also.
What happens next? Well...

This is a very strange idea. It just...hit me...and won't let go. I'm posting it now that I have proper computer access. I don't actually have any plans for this...it's just a sort of random universe rumination.
Might try to work up a short fic based on this. Once I actually finish the current bit of Fenspace writing I'm doing (an Island origin story).
This is presented largely as a Gazetteer entry, though I'd like...I dunno, input before I toss it into that thread. I'm just typing this out off the top of my 'ead here, I'm sleepy, and I'm not sure if I'm crazy or not. Is this just wrong?

Yeah. I'm having what we will call 'money issues' right now, which have meant that I'm taking a hiatus immediately following the 'computer issues' hiatus I took without announcing earlier. Sorry guys. I'm going to try to get back on track, but you know how it goes. I'll try to at least be on here to talk to. Wish me luck!
