Sorry I haven't written anything else yet Magey. Last Cybersecurity class ran longer than I thought
You know you want to add loveI think the new Pony MMCO could be the only MLP fanfic I find worth reading. As part of the research before it actually starts, I checked who Yuuto is... I have one thing to say about Omamori Himari: Awesome!
Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.![]()

I think it was already established that Negi can only manage to put a space elevator within less than 9 years if he combines MM's magic with Earth's science/technology (only the latter has any proper understanding about what's needed for space travel, exploration and colonization).
Hey Magey...
How hard would it be to make Luna do a Billy Mays impression?
You know you want to add loveUnequally, Continuation.
"You could have killed them," Ruri's voice kept chiding them even now, as the two of them walked deeper into the manor, ocassionally stopping to put a beating on a squadron or two of guards who ran into them. Well, it was mostly Quartum who dished the beatings down, although Joker helped here and there with a boxing glove punching gun, a canister of laughing gas, or a few explosive marbles.
"God, I hope so," Joker chuckled while running his teeth over his tongue. "Just for the irony of them burning to death without Quarty being able to look at them while they became extra crispy recipes."
Quartum shrugged apathetically, although still savoring the releasing sensation of letting his inner fire flow out. "Sometimes, imagining them as they burn is just as good as the real deal."
"Ah, the power of the mind," Joker noded sagely. "Yes, sometimes, the things you do just don't live up to your expectations, and it's better to savor what could have been instead. Like firebombing an orphanage. It's pretty in the theory, but since you can't stay too close, it takes a lot of the watching thrill out. From the outside, it's just another fire."
Quartum smiled. "Good thing for me I can stand much closer to the flames, then..."
"You idiots make me sick," Ruri declared dryly.
"We should have chosen you as the Kampfer," Burnt Alive Lion nodded, sitting comfortably on Ruri's lap in the hideout.
"Oh, learn to live and let die, Ruri-Ruri," Joker teased her as they arrived to a large and wrecked room where several guards stood frozen inside of monolitic chunks of ice shaped like stalagmites. The floor was shattered and turned into ice for the most part, and Joker had to be careful while walking. Quartum just strolled confidently with his hands in his pockets. "Wow, just look at this! The iceman cometh! Or should I say icegirl?"
In truth, the room had just been hit by a stray ice spell of Eva, which had blown through several walls and rooms before hitting ground level there, exploding in all directions and leaving everyone there frozen solid. That had been five minutes ago.
Unaware of this, Joker approached a woman armed with twin swords she had been about to draw when disaster hit her. This one had been further away from Ground Zero, so the spell had only covered her with a thinner layer of ice all over her.
"Behold, the excelent fabrication, the perfect polishing on the ice's surface, the exquisite lifelike likeness that I like so much in this likable piece of masterful sculpturing," the mad voice cackled a soft coo that bubbled up the pale throat and gently erupted into the icy atmosphere of the room. A gloved hand caressed the frozen servant's cheek, then patted it. "Such a wonderful masterwork! This sister of yours is a real artist, my boy. And yet, her work's as frail as life itself..."
He licked his red lips up and down. "It wouldn't take anything, to shatter them all. Just a slight push here, a classic pratfall there, a stray bullet over there..."
The boy grunted, heading for the door with his hands in his pockets. "If you're going to do it, do it fast. We're on a schedule, and we can't risk running into the sixth model, okay? Let's just find 'that thing' and then burn this hut down to the ground."
"Afraid of a family reunion with your dear little sister?" the tall thin man mocked. "Oh, c'mon! You know the audience would looo-oooove some sweet sweet Averrunci decadence!"
"Just move it before I drag you off... by the neck!"
"Denial is the first sign of interest!" Joker accused before turning back to the frozen woman. "Just a moment. There's something I want to share with Nancy here..."
He reached into a pocket, and slowly, agonizingly slowly, pulled out...
... a red marker he used to draw a thick moustache on the layer of ice covering her face.
Quartum blinked. "You have markers that draw on ice?"
"I carry Joker Shark Repellent, too! I find I end up needing it at least twice a week," he nonchalantly said before following the pale boy away, shrugging his shoulders. Stepping at a fast, merry pace, he soon overtook the again moody acting (now the thrill of burning people hd worn out) Averruncus, consulting a map while humming to himself. "Over here. Two hallways at left, another turn at right..." He stopped before a thick wooden wall and placed a small load of plastic explosive on it. After it blew up revealing a hidden passage down into a set of darkened stairs, Joker said, "Ruri-Ruri. You handling the security systems as agreed?"
"All those technology based," the girl droned, and Joker could hear her fingers tapping on her keyboard. "They have good walls, but nothing I couldn't breach through. However, I can't do anything against the defenses based on 'magic', as you call it."
"Don't worry about that," Joker gently pushed Quartum ahead of himself. "Our bestest friend in the whole world will take care of that!"
Quartum snorted, a hand already in flames. "Do your worst, stupid house. I'll bet you have nothing that can scratch me..."
As soon as he gave the first step down, a large boulder was shot from below against his face. Without even blinking, he pulverized it with a well timed punch. Joker coughed as the dust from the impact rained over them.
"You know, mind swatting the next one away?"
"Yes," Quartum kept on walking down without looking back at him. "Never step out of where I'm stepping, and keep your head low just in case. You're taller than me, so you could activate sensors I just walk under."
"What, is this place child-and-midget friendly?" A beat. "What category do you fall under, anyway?"
"Just shut up or I'll cut your legs off so you're shorter than me."
"You know, Quarty, I think we really need to go again over who's the boss in this little party..."

@Anemoi: You realize that you have to make The Great and Powerful Trixie play Vince Offer, right?
Reaction Image RepositoryYou know you're playing a game that makes Disgaea look positively sane when all of a sudden, the Unfortunate Lamia pops up and rapes the fourth wall... Almost literally. And now you know why I haven't gotten anything done.
Let me just put it this way: Amira the Unfortunate Lamia defeats herself by summoning the wrong screen effect.

So you found that game, too! Pity the new rules nuke it off the tropes.
Ugh, I got stuck on trying to figure out the specifics of my plotlines, so I can enjoy not writing for about the next week.

Hah. Well, I have only two fics I'm currently attempting to write, which are The Darkest Void and the as of yet unnamed fic where Gogeta's negligence while dealing with Janemba caused the multiverse to go to hell, caused Naruto Namikaze and Himura Kenshin to share a hidden village (where Minato is Hokage), Negi to be Kotomine Kirei's adopted son, apprentice and test subject all rolled in one, Chao and Trunks to belong to the Time Squad (based on Chronopolis), Hiei to be the king of Venus (Zazie and Poyo are both related to him), The Moon Cell to be a massive multiplayer online role playing game (which the servants are mighty pissed about) and the Golden Saints to be legendary figures that some times get summoned to fight the actual grail wars, some times get summoned by the planet itself to deal with threats to the planet itself and other times get summoned by Athena to dick around Earth. Oh, and Master Roshi is dicking around in an island, the only interesting thing that has happened to him in the last ten years was a chinese family dropping off their kid to have him train her in the ways of kickassery, not to mention that the Nostalgia Critic's invasion of Molossia succeeded spectacularly and Kickassia became a superpower.
I need a name for that.
And I can find no inspiration to work on either.
Such a lonely day... And it's mine... The most loneliest day of my life...

Oh shi- Why did it have to be Tamamo-No-Mae of all people? There are some beings I just can't fight. I keep coming across them. I am psychologically prepared to believe these things are f*cking invincible!

No, it's to put the spaceports in space, rather on the ground.
