The Good, The Bad and The Spandex: Discussion Thread

I feel a segway is an appropriate upgrade to his last ride. Really captures that "old man shaking his cane at young folks" feel.

Oh wonderful, my IP had a hiccup and ate my latest post, now I'll have to write it up *again!* > <

edit: there. If a bit shorter than the original.

It probably makes more sense if the train's keys were locked away in a museum vault or something.

But having them in the ignition would be funnier.

Or better yet, just on display with other assorted memorabilia.

I vote option #3.

Option 4: The Conductor left them in his pocket.

Joke option is best option.

In case it isn't obvious, The Traveler is trying to get Freezerburn to hit him with his temperature powers in order to activate his Adaptation power.

I think you might've missed my post due to ninja shenanigans, Sijo, sorry for not bringing that up earlier.

...oh, whoops. My bad Rest well at any rate~

Oh no, I noticed, I just was too focused on the battle with Freezerburn to appropriately respond. In any case your post introduced Cobbler very well, glad you used my idea. More tomorrow, going to bed now.

And so I just decided to postpone the question of where the key is by just having Freezerburn hotwire the Nazi Super-Train anyway.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if someone stole the Train right as The Conductor arrived?

(And I just realized Conductor is a TRIPLE pun. Well played!)

Wow.

Wow.

Oh. Wow.

And here I completely missed it until you pointed it out, too.

Puns are love, puns are life.

Is it common knowledge that the device on Joie de Vivre's chest is what she uses to stop time?

Even if it isn't, with Mindseye being a Telepath/Clairvoyant, she should have found out.

Btw, Starbound 2, Thank You for the music link- I have LONG wondered what that piece of music was, and now I know! Also I like the idea of posting links of videos and pictures to enhance the game, I should try it.

I meant more in the sense of if Mindseye told the Bear, would it just be stating the obvious?

Since the time-stopping device was considered an 'embarrassing failure' I'd imagine it's existence is not public knowledge, plus Joie's acts probably would only get her and her family in trouble if it were known. You'll have to wait for her player's answer, tho.

Btw, I would love to see Joie and The Traveler meet. Their powers and personalities clash SO much.

Remember, the Conductor has telepathy, so that music? Gonna be suddenly playing in everyone in the museum's heads.

EDIT: Oh, and the shouting. The Conductor is not a man of subtlety.

Behold, the beginnings of Walter Jones Wild Ride.

Hey Sijo, you forgot to respond to the segway being swung at Simon's face.

Ah OK, I'll post that thanks.

Ehh... isn't it overly convenient that the ash body completely absorbed the shock, AND the rubber form completely bounced off the segway?

edited 17th Jul '16 6:29:49 AM by Starbound2

How do you shock someone made of asbestos? And hitting someone made of rubber just isn't going to work.

Now, if Conductor had blasted Simon, he would have been knocked away and possibly damaged him, but having him tackle the villain was your idea. And Simon still would have turned to rubber afterwards.

I'll let you decide if Conductor get knocked out now and if not, what he will do. Simon will look for a chance to incapacitate him (possibly tying him up with a fire hose) and then leave to check on the hostages.

Edit: for purposes of clarity, I'm going to expand on The Traveler's Adaptation Powers: He can adapt to ANY environment. This includes extremes of temperature, radiation, electricity, even time distortions (hint); he cannot adapt to artificial things like bullets. Also the power is not under his control; he adapts when exposed whether he wants to or not, can only adapt to ONE element at a time (so Freezerburn could have beaten him by blasting him with one temperature extreme, then another) and will remain transformed for at least an hour.

Aside from this, The Traveler's only power is Dimensional Travel, which works only whenever it damn feels like.

You can see why he has come to depend on neither ability and trained himself in combat. He's no Batman, though.

But Freezerburn doesn't know that.

Not yet anyway.

Btw. those of you who still haven't joined the action- Comet, Flashback, Moon Warden etc.- may still still help with the Museum crisis if you want.
