"Um, Alderoth, are you okay?" Wanda asks, prodding the unconscious mage with the toe of her boot.

Pietro sees Alderoth passing out and leaps down next to his sister. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" he asks.

Alderoth's eyes open suddenly, but they look... different.

Groaning, he stands up, clutching his head and glaring at Sasuke.

   "What in the Void did I do to you for you to act so aggressive?"   

He then turns to Wanda and Pietro, now a bit calmer.

   "Sorry for the outburst, but I was sleeping when Sasuke woke me up forcefully."

"So we've got a split personality on our hands," Wanda remarks to Karras. "Well, at least you're polite."

"Why does that guy want you dead so badly?" Pietro asks Karras. "Granted, you do look like a dark spirit, but still."

Karras turns to Sasuke, a bit irked.

   "What questions?"

Goddammit ~Questor, stop trying to give me a heart attack.
I don't know how you're so stupid that I have to tell you, again and again, not to treat cheating as if it's an arms race.
I'll spell it out for you,
again: NOTHING YOUR CHARACTER DOES IS ALLOWED TO AUTOMATICALLY AFFECT ANOTHER PLAYER'S CHARACTER. EVERYTHING IS UP TO THE DEFENDER TO DECIDE.

If you see rulebreaking, tell them that they are breaking the rules. If you think something is overpowered, TELL THE FUCKING GM. THAT IS WHAT I AM FOR.

~zbse, please tell me in PM about these characters about which Questor was apparently so concerned. If you told me about them in PM the first time, tell me again. I won't have remembered.

i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, baby

"Hey, I asked you a question," Pietro says to Karras, slightly annoyed that he was being ignored.

"Calm down, Pietro," Wanda says to her brother. "In case you haven't noticed, he's kinda busy at the moment."

Karras just sighs.

   "Simply put, I am Alderoth's repressed aspects. A part of himself hidden to many others. Despite this, I am merely a fragment. A piece to the puzzle."

"Just impossible to defeat if you're X character."

Suuuuure, that's gonna go over great with the referee. No lack of sportsmanship here! All fucking fair!

"Well, that raises more questions than it answered," Pietro snarks at Karras.

"How many more 'pieces' are there, exactly?" Wanda asks Karras. "And how did you come to be?"

zbse seems to be at a loss to figure out what his characters have done to scare Questor so badly. Would anyone who is neither zbse nor Questor care to answer?

Karras looks at both Pietro and Sasuke.

   "As far as I know, only myself and Alderoth are active."   

He sighs.

I think that Questor has the idea that , ever since zbse started bring in "unsealed" characters which are (presumably) a lot stronger than the regular members of the Damascus Family (some of which already warp reality to an extent), zbse is gonna bring in an unsealed Lin or Bob or something and everything's gonna go to hell. I think he just doesn't like other people's playstyles when they're too different from his. He doesn't have many magic characters.

"Why?"

"I have an idea. Hold still."

He attempts to knock out Karras with genjutsu, which he will also do with Alderoth.

If thats what it is, I am gonna have to take questors side, reality warping should be a No-No, it is near imposible to fight unless you use the exact same cheapness

Oh hell no. Bob and Lin don't get unsealed forms. That is a stupid idea.

There's the thing. Reality Warping or bending doesn't simply put everything into sandbox mode, there are specific ways. Like, for example, he counts floating in the air using magic as "reality warping". Or simply throwing a fireball made through magic means, even though fire itself isn't magic. He even counts mana as a reality warp.

[up] Glad you've established that.

Errr, went back and found an incident

I gotta agree agian, that was metagamy to attack the device on F's back as soon as he mentioned any thing about it, and this is coming from me now that my character CAN do magic

Is it that hard to just vary your fighting style a bit instead?

Bleh, what charecters are even around right now?

"F's Autocannon shells can punch through several centimeters of steel plating, what's a bit of ice and earth gonna do? Get pulverized in a single volley, that's what. Though they do fulfill their purpose of protecting Riven from getting chopped to pieces, but now he has to worry about the bits of sharp rock and ice blown inwards towards him caused by the shells' impact."
~Questor: That right right there? That was not an autohit. That was fair play.
"F once gain gives a harsh glare, this time aimed at Riven and before he knew it; he was starting to descend to the ground despite his magic."
That? That was. Learn the difference. Autohitting is never allowed note .

Questor's side is that perceived overpowering or cheating should be responded to in kind. He is wrong.
His argument at the moment seems to be merely that zbse's characters are overpowered enough to cross this threshold.
The truth of that specific premise, that zbse's characters are overpowered, I do not know yet, but I do know that Questor's argument is unsound regardless of what the answer to that is.

Karras looks away, sighing.

   "No thanks, Sasuke. If there is another dormant fragment... it might turn out dangerous."   

Internet's acting up.

Like I said earlier, it was flashing lights like it was at a rave, and was an obvious weak point. Questor was the one who attacked us in the first place, and whether it looked like a weak point or not doesn't change the fact that it's a common move to attack your enemy from behind.

"Afraid your body is going to get damaged?"
