Yeah, Mordred and Kairi are the only decent characters in Apocrypha so far. Fran is cute, but isn't exactly much of a character.

I've been playing FGO too. Planned to reroll until I got a 5* Servant, ANY 5* Servant.........and then my fourth reroll gave the jackpot of Vlad + Waver. Along with Martha and Liz.

I just want a Gold Saber with decent damage. It's sad when your only decent Gold Saber is Brave Liz.

Oh, I thought you meant the English version. That Vlad + Waver account is what I have here.

Just found out this series exists! Powerless (2017)

Why do good things lie this have to die but Arrow and UQ holder keeps on chugging?

Now, everyone knows that the leading cause of deaths in a corporate environment is Superman crashing through the building during a big fight. That's just a fact.

Saw latest Prisma Illya. So apparently Miyu's assassin install is Serenity. It looks good on her.

And yes, I'm still working on it… just really distracted trying to get Illya in Grand Order…

The Cassini space probe is due to crash land on Saturn tonight. Guess GL-chan is about to write NASA up another Littering citation while Hotaru gets herself a trophy.

(nods) Will pencil that in. The chap is ALMOST finished, but it's been like that for months. Mostly I'm having trouble with the scene where Saber and Morgaine meet. I don't want to have it happen offscreen too much, but I'm trying to go from 'How DARE YOU IMPERSONATE MY BROTHER, I'LL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT THROUGH YOUR ASS!' to 'She's living with us, end of story'. Especially since she has some real crimes to answer for, and the league is with them, but it's not like you can send her to prison (for one thing, what would the Magus Association do if they knew?). Closest thing I can come up with is an agreement of house arrest, but trying to fashion the argument... Difficult. Batman and Superman have been known to be occasionally linient and try for just and humane outside the law solutions (see: Volcana), but those canonically do not always end well (see: Volcana).

Any advice?

Argue she's out of their juristiction? Therefore, put her under house arrest...

Since they're technically vigilantes (Batman definitely is), their jurisdiction is whatever they feel like getting involved with. Best I can come up with is Arturia arguing this is Camelot's responsibility to deal with.

Claim that letting the Magus Association hit Morgaine with a Sealing Designation would be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.. for the Clock Tower?grin

Honestly, is there any doubt as to which side would end up vivisected if they pulled something?

I give a 5% chance of Flat Escardos some how getting Morgan to spare his classmates by bribing Lil'Mordred with a combination of movies, games, and inviting over that Dead Apostle Ancestor he's pals with.

Or a more serious alternative, throw Gray at her for some incredibly awkward family reunion stuff.

Considering how the Cassini probe was set to burn up in Saturn's atmosphere entirely, and was sent there pretty much to make sure that the radioactive batteries wouldn't poison any potential life on Europa, it'd be kind of rude to Nanoha to call that 'littering.' There isn't even going to be anything left but dust.

Though really in this universe, BECAUSE Nanoha is there, why wouldn't they just set Cassini into a stable orbit and keep her posted on when they expect the orbit to decay? None of them WANTED to destroy Cassini, they just thought it was the only way to make sure that they wouldn't harm any current or future life.

Like, Cassini had about 0.1% of its fuel left, if memory serves, and a nuclear-powered battery. They could have easily set it in a stable orbit around Saturn and had it send back pictures for at least a few decades. But if they did that, there'd be no way to be sure that, when the orbit inevitably decayed, it wouldn't crash into Europa.

Europa, which Cassini showed could potentially support life. Which would, potentially, be wiped out by a damaged radioactive battery.

So, in order to protect what tiny life might be under the ice, they used the last of the fuel to make sure Cassini would never put it in danger. Better to send Cassini out by making it dive into the atmosphere and burn up, sending back the kind of information no one could learn any other way, for love of the life that might come to be.

point being, if friendly neighborhood space cop was around all the time, it's just a given that they'd set it in a stable orbit and alert Nanoha that eventually someone would need to grab it in a few decades and also if she didn't mind could she swing by the Kuiper Belt and take some readings for them?

I recently became familiar with my little pony fandom any possibility of a Equestria Girls of 2814? I imagine Sunset Shimmer being "befriended" by Nanoha or Princess Twilight taking lessons of the magic of friendship from our resident devil

I have long debated whether making Equestria a planet in 2814 (there's precedent. Supergirl used to have a sentient horse. It was the silver age), thereby allowing for Sailor Equestria shennanigans or possibly TYPE Equestria (which would be equally fun for me), but must realistically shelve these musings until I somehow manage to finish this last chapter.

Wow, I just realized it's been over a year since the last update... Okay, getting back to this, hopefully within this month.

In the meantime, snippet!

Blood nodded. “Sound advice. I shall take it. Now, who had the sheath of Excalibur?”

Black Archer raised her hand, grinning widely.

Blood allowed himself to close his eyes for a moment. “Of course you did.”

“Not anymore though. That woman in the gold mask took it and got away,” Black Archer said.

“You had the sheath and you just let her take it?” Blood said, aghast.

“We hardly 'let' her,” Blue Blaz said haughtily. She jerked a thumb in Black Archer's general direction. “She had to work for it. We made sure she thoroughly beat up Black Archer first.”

“I hate you all. That's it, I'm going supervillain. I just need a volcano base and either a moon laser or a time machine,” Black Archer muttered. “Or both.”

For a moment, Blood just stared in horror. “Then we are undone. With Avalon, Morgaine le Fay can draw upon infinite power from the realm of the fairies. We shall never find her now, and when we see her again, it will be at the head of an otherworldly army bent on conquest.”

There was a beat.

“Okay, I'm blaming this on Green Lantern being on vacation,” Flash said. “None of you can prove otherwise!”

"Oh, don't get your panties in a knot," Black Archer said dismissively. "I can find her, easy."

Blood raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Surely you jest. I have spent literally centuries attempting to devise a means of tracking that harridan. I know her every trick, her every deviousness, and I could not devise a reliable means of locating her."

"That," Black Archer said grandly, "is because you've never managed to stick a cellphone with a GPS tracker into a magical artifact she's not going to let out of her sight. Sis, I need your phone."

“Hmm? You say something?” Illya said, looking up from where she was playing some kind of color-match game on her cellphone. “I haven't understood a word any of you have been saying since you're all talking in weird foreign languages.”

Black Archer rolled her eyes. "Sister, really! Learn English!"

"Why? If anime's taught me anything, it's that the rest of the world should be the ones learning Japanese anyway," Prisma Ruby said.

"Do we need to have the talk on translation conventions again?" Black Archer said archly.

"What happened here?" a clueless male voice said from behind Blood. "We got home and there was a note at the door saying you were at the playground. Then we got to the playground and we found a note saying you were at the vacant lot. What's going on?"

Blood turned.

Time seemed to stop. Silence descended, as if sound had gone on vacation and gotten involved in a locked room mystery which it must now solve to clear its name.

Oh bugger, he thought, I've gone mad again. I hate it when this happens. This is going to be the Thirty Years War all over again.

There might have been another ridiculously-masked person. He could not tell, for he had eyes only for him. Golden hair that, despite seeming washed out in the low light, should shine like the sun. Those noble features, that proud and regal stance, that air of kingship, the darkened armor traced with crimson lines like blood… wait, what?

Oh, this is some sort of nightmarish illusion! some part of him concluded. It was a common tactic that only really worked on the foolish and weak-minded, since even a cursory examination of the illusion revealed its many narrative inconsistencies. Why, there was absolutely no reason for his king to be in some city in Japan, nor wearing a demonic and vaguely goth-punk permutation of his armor, with some strange visor that seemed to just be hanging from their face. And now the doppelganger had removed the visor, revealing more inconsistencies. His king had brilliant green eyes, not dull and tainted gold. And those tears! The king had never, ever cried, no matter how desperate the battle or deep the mourning, always rising as a pillar of strength. And his king would never reach out to touch his face so tenderly, no, not the king. Hmm, but that wasn't part of the usual rigmarole of nightmarish illusions, was it? Oh,so he had gone mad, which was the only way to explain why his king was embracing him against his armor. Surely it was insanity! Because the only other explanation was that his king had come back from death or Avalon to these modern times, which was surely absurd, ha ha!

Jason Blood couldn't help but smile. As descents into madness went, it was better than most. He'd have to go mad more often!


“Does he usually smile so creepily?” Black Archer asked Flash out of the corner of her mouth.

“No, that's a new one on me,” he said, answering the same way. “Wow, that's really creepy, isn't it? That's not a smile, that's an unsmile. Batman, make him stop.”

Batman glared at him, either telling him to shut up or asking 'why me?'.

“Come on, you're the world expert on dealing with creepy smiles. Make him stop already!” Flash begged.

Sorry about double post, but I came up with a side-story snippet based on something I posted a while back:

Edward Nygma smirked as his minions picked up their bags of loot and headed for the door. The Dark Knight Detective had not showed. He, the Riddler, had triumphed! He basked in the glory of his genius, knowing that he had finally outsmarted his nemesis.

Two thuds sounded in the distance. Riddler's head snapped up. No! That cheater Batman could not possibly have shown up. Not when he was just about to win! He rushed to the exit to find his two minions lying unconscious on the floor, sacks of stolen goods spilling out on the ground beside them. But it wasn't Batman standing over them. It was someone he hadn't seen before, a man in blue armor carrying a long red spear.

"Who are you?" Riddler demanded, "How did you solve my riddle?"

"You came up with that?" the man replied, "It was a good one. Haven't seen one quite so tricky since my wife died."

"Oh?" Riddler was intrigued, "A fellow riddle lover?"

"She and I met at a riddle contest. We even found ways to flirt using riddles without her father realizing what we were doing."

The man's father-in-law must have been one of the typical incompetents that plagued the land.

"And you think you can match me, the Riddler, at my own game?"

The man with the spear grinned. "Pronounced as one letter and written with three, two letters there are and two only in me. I'm double, I'm single. I'm black, blue and gray. I'm read from both ends and the same either way. What am I?"

Riddler smiled in return. "An eye. My turn."

The two men walked around the room, trading riddles and answers. After more than a dozen exchanges, the man with the spear asked "Who is that man behind you?"

"Cheater!" Nygma protested. "That isn't a proper riddle!" Then a hand grabbed him from behind and spun him around, revealing the face of Detective Harvey Bullock of the GCPD.

"Thanks for keeping him busy, Lancer." The detective said as he cuffed the Riddler and dragged him away.

Riddler seethed as he was driven back to Arkham. Lancer had tricked him. The whole riddle contest had been nothing more than a way to keep him distracted until the police arrived. He raged inwardly as he was dragged to his cell and locked in. He fumed as one of the doctors left him a note from the cheater who had seen him returned to this prison. He would be free once again, he vowed as he tore open the envelope. He would have his revenge -

Edward Nygma looked at the note and saw an extremely complex riddle involving obscure references to Celtic mythology.

- as soon as he solved this riddle.

Well, it's been hundreds of years. Relatively speaking, J'onn being the last of his kind like Superman is a relatively recent development.
