Rational Twilight: Luminosity

Actually, on the bathroom subject, I seem to remember Smeyer saying once in an interview that they don't need to use the restroom but having a house with toilet-less bathrooms would look really weird.

But where does the blood all go?

Absorbed and converted into energy or venom I'd assume?

It is transferred to another dimension, feeding the Eldritch Abomination that maintains the vampires alive and functioning and controls all the magical business.

That would explain so much.

I've decided that you could keep a part alive in a vat of the vampire's *own* venom, but not in anyone else's, so long-term storage of the part would still require keeping the vampire alive.

I imagined that would be something like that

It is know as    The Meyer of the thousand words    the dark one that crushes your soul with Beige Prose of doom! not a actual stab at meyer, just din't had anyone better to work with

EDIT:

I mildy bored and should be working for something to school..... So lets !

What "needs" to be done in the next chapters to wrap up things properly?

monday chapter is likely to be Elspeth telling and dealing with the wolves, showing they reaction and decision over the new rulership. Since it is the ending of the story, I doubt there will be conflict, but this doesn't means that the wolves are going to work for THE QUEEN BELLA OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND NOBLE HOUSE OF CULLEN

There should e a chapter wrapping up the reactions that vampires will have about the new vegan rule. Specially, Pera and Siobhan, are they going to work for Bella? Essencially a more "imediate consequences chapter"

I REALLY want to see Bella contact her father, at least, her mother should know too, but I can see the danger of contacting her.

There might a extra chapter showing more in the distant future, to see more or less the "new normal" that settled in the world of Luminosity.

Agreed, Bella's parents deserve some contact.

I want a scene with Elspeth and Cody, since I mildly ship them.

Also, after the reign of QUEEN BELLA OF THE MOST NOBLE AND ANCIENT HOUSE OF CULLEN, THE GOLDEN EYED OVERLORD is stabilized among the vampire population, the vampires should reveal themselves to humans, and come up with some policy for who gets to be turned.

If Pera won't work with Bella, they could send troublesome vampires into orbit for some period of time. Then they could bring them down, ask if they're ready to behave themselves, and if not, back into orbit they go.

Scenario: Suppose some newly-turned vampire simply can't control their thirst and keeps eating people, so Bella has Pera hide this person until they can behave. In frustration, the vampire kills Pera. Does the hiding place disappear, or are the current inhabitants stuck there forever, and what sort of precautions do they put in place to prevent anyone from trying to kill Pera?

If Pera dies, hidden people will stay hidden For All Eternity. Sucks to be them.

However, Pera is more than capable of defending herself - any part of an attacker that touches her, gets sent to wherever the rest of them isn't.

Agreed, Bella's parents deserve some contact.

That is a Under Statement if I ever saw one. Really, I quite honestly don't think Charlie is... well. For five years he though that his daughter was dead, his grand-daughter was raised away from him (and we don't even know

I want a scene with Elspeth and Cody, since I mildly ship them.

heh, I understand, but I am more or less confused about it... I don't want to have Jake to suffer... but there are... hints that they might have something... Plus the First Girl Wins trope.

Honestly, revealing themselves to the world will the most daring move that QUEEN BELLA OF THE MOST NOBLE AND ANCIENT HOUSE OF CULLEN, THE GOLDEN EYED OVERLORD ever did. I do think that humans are at brink of finding the vamprie existence, and it might be better to do it on purpose rather than accident, but I still think they need to wait as long as they can.

If Pera won't work with Bella, they could send troublesome vampires into orbit for some period of time. Then they could bring them down, ask if they're ready to behave themselves, and if not, back into orbit they go.

Impractical much? They can technically keep the Vampires dismantled, or just under Alec influence, I don't think any vampire would like to spend a week or two that way.

Scenario: Suppose some newly-turned vampire simply can't control their thirst and keeps eating people, so Bella has Pera hide this person until they can behave. In frustration, the vampire kills Pera. Does the hiding place disappear, or are the current inhabitants stuck there forever, and what sort of precautions do they put in place to prevent anyone from trying to kill Pera?

I was actually thinking about that... but is hard to tell because... well, WTH is the "hinding place"? Is is kind of another dimension? Or a effect?

Either way, Pera would likely need to be guarded even more than Bella herself. At any rate, dangerous newborns or dangerous vampires would better be "transfered" between places while out of action.

EDIT: Oh, good to know.

EDIT 2: While I don't want to see Charlie suffering, I don't think it would be realistic if he wasn't at least with a mild drinking problem.

The hiding place is Witchspace.

Chapter 46: Negotiator

Well, that was early.

Giving Didyme back to Marcus? That... would be cheesy, and at same time... AWESOME, it caught me completely out of blue

also:

EMPRESS REGNANT BELLA OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND NOBLE GOLDEN COVEN HEHEHEHEH!

edit: overall, the story is going great. The victims thing was a bit of a Deus ex machina, well, not exactly, but it was surprising, I actually liked the idea, if turns out what I think it will turn out to be.

edited 21st Feb '11 11:27:30 AM by Bluelantern2814

I've got to admit I didn't see that coming.

Now that's an interesting twist.

I don't know if the ostentatious titles are the most politically expedient thing to do, but I can't pretend I would pass up the opportunity either.

Well, vanity aside, it is sort of imposses authority, people would assume that anyone that calls herself empress would either be vain and stupid or Bad Ass, and the later is more likely considered that Bella and Company overthrew the Volturri.

EDIT: so, It can be assumed that the other victims become possesed by other vampire personalities too, likely, dead vampires that resemble the current body.

So... do you guys think that there will be any other "ressurections" from know vampires? I wouldn't discard it, despite being unlikely.

edited 21st Feb '11 11:43:28 AM by Bluelantern2814

That makes me unreasonably happy.

So is this personality change permanent, or has there been a melding to create a new personality? If the former, I feel really bad for the person these people used to be. If the latter, does the mate bond still apply?

Also, it's really lucky that Elspeth didn't react that way.

EDIT: I just realized, of course she didn't react that way, it would be untrue, and Magic would notice.

Also, does Didyme still have her power?

edited 21st Feb '11 1:29:10 PM by SammiJ

Elspeth has better memories, she was probable more (if vaguely) aware of the possibility of being blasted with other people's memories, those six are caught completely off guard by the blast.

edit: I think the bond still applies.

EDIT 2:

Good point, magic surely would know if Elspeth was being delusional/mad.

It is possible that Didyme would get her power, or some variation of it, since they are based on personality, and she din't had before turning I don't think it was ever stated that Aro himself had his power before, "Didyme 2.0" would likely to get at least a happyness-related power at any rate.

hum... I wonder if they would wait enough to get her eggs frozen so they could have a child.

edited 21st Feb '11 3:36:12 PM by Bluelantern2814

But how can the bond still apply? "Didyme" might remember being mated to Marcus, but she's not Didyme. If she were, Marcus would definitely have noticed his mate bond being reactivated (or whatever), and probably he'd be there with her right now. Not sure where Alicorn's going with this, but it's guaranteed to be interesting.

The mate bond is affected by what you think about the person, Edward though that was dead, and that is why he "white ribbon" showed so, otherwise the volturri would knew that Bella was alive. Now if the fact that she is essencially is only a copy of Didyme, albeit one that is very close would mess things up, i don't know, but I don't see why Allicorn would add that layer of drama now.

Actually, the only reason Marcus couldn't tell that Bella was alive just by looking at Edward (regardless of Edward's beliefs) is that Bella is immune to Marcus, and Marcus is unlike Chelsea in the sense that he can't see relationships that include Bella even though Chelsea was able to affect how non-Bella people felt about Bella. So regardless of whether Bella is alive or dead, Marcus isn't able to see her relationships.

Fakku. What if Aro is among those?

Fakku. What if Aro is among those?

Well, in that case we will make a big and collective: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

until time itself collapse or Alicorn writes the sequel.

but it could be interesting, to say the least, if there was a enemy among them.

EDIT: Actually I think we are pretty "safe" that it won't turn out to be Aro... there is a subtle hint in the story, that the "chosen" identity will be a younger one, rather than a old one. "John" was a vampire for six year, there are anohter with similar features that was one hundred, but "John" was chosen, likely because there is less memories so it is easier to the "personality" to keep itself together. Didyme was pretty young too, I don't think she was even a decade old when she was killed, much less a century.

edited 21st Feb '11 5:24:26 PM by Bluelantern2814

I'd like to toss out the fact that mate bonds are Love At First Sight, so until Marcus sees "Didyme", we don't know for sure.

And if the mate bond doesn't link back up...I wonder if this is going to be some consolation for Marcus, or crushing.

What would be interesting, IMO, would be if "Didyme" hooked up to Didyme's old ribbon, but the ribbon changed.

I have now named every theory I have for how this relationship will go. In my mind's eye I see a dart board, one dart in each ring.

edited 21st Feb '11 5:27:08 PM by RedWren

So true.

And seeing the old ribbon changing or getting "fixed" or spining around and combining itself with the new one would quite a sight. I hope we get to see it.
