There are ways to eat a soul, incorporating its magical energy into the eater. Merely eating their flesh is a far less extreme and more common thing.
'an off-network'
Full stop between 'ready' and 'I'?
God, I love 40K. Glad to see so many chapters of it.
Never heard of this guy or the other two. I hope that this guy is actually Mork, having hornswoggled people into thinking that he's a Chaos God with the power of Kunnin' Brutality.
'aid'?
'these creatures'
I mean, they would think it was a daemon, but the Ecclesiarchy does have quite a lot of leniency sometimes, particularly when they're trying to convert people.
Damn nice story.
Gotta love slave-loaded starship weapons. Although sadly, I remember seeing a calculation which I think said that a purely slave-loaded Nova cannon is physically impossible with the normal size of Imperial ships.
Not sure if this is deliberate, or if it should be 'psychic'.
'Citizenry'?
Did Earth fall to oligarchy before the grassroots veterans took over? I just remember general degeneracy. My memory of the book isn't great, though.
Even the Arachnids had power armour in the book! I don't hate the movies, but I can't forgive them for turning the Arachnids from a technological civilisation to generic animalistic bio-tech bug aliens.She laughs, because the films were practically opposite-viewpoint parodies of the books. Plus a criminal lack of the powered armour technology from the books....Because Power Armour is almost as cool as a Power Ring.
Mo'rcck - Micheal Moorcock: Fantasy Writer whose works inspired the Warhammer form of 'Chaos';
Thank you, corrected.
Both would be correct.
'Rule by military veterans' is a form of oligarchy.
I was wondering about that.
I don't remember telling you that.
Gods damn it, past me.
Huh. All these years I thought that oligarchy was rule by the wealthy, and only now have I actually bothered to look up the definition.
Yeah, 'rule by the wealthy' is plutocracy (though you were right that it's a form of oligarchy). IIRC, the philosopher who named them considered oligarchy the corrupt form of aristocracy, as well as naming ochlocracy as the corrupt form of a democracy (while still technically being a democracy, as opposed to when it becomes another form of government, such as the various times post-revolutionary France became monarchies or dictatorships).
I went through like six redrafts of my response just in case for this reason as well.
That is a dam fine question
moral -> mortal
we at -> we were at
Wasn't that conversation (where Sinestro's head was listed as the price) about Kalmin making another Blue Ring, with the extra caveat that Paul would have to find another source of Hope strong enough to act as the emotional fuel? Easy to extrapolate that out to any colored ring, but I was expecting Paul to be pedantic about it.
Thank you, corrected.
The SI hasn't been avoiding Sinestro. It's true that he hasn't spent time seeking him out, but that's because he doesn't know if it's worthwhile.
...Okay, not laughing. But still very much not the response OL was hoping for. I suppose he can take it as a point in his favour that Kalmin didn't kill him outright. Not that it looks like that didn't hurt.
Huh. Might be a useful weapon for... Something?
...I thought that was for a Blue Ring? Or are you just charging heads for any colour in general?
...Goddamn, OL. That sounds nasty.
Welp. He's going to obstinate about it, I guess...
To be fair, he knows you are very hard to keep dead. And didn't want to burn all his goodwill with NEMO...
Heh. Of course OL is going to be 'Okay.' about being fried alive.
I mean, Kalmin doesn't exactly do 'friendly visits', so of course he'd misunderstand...
You haven't gotten them all killed, have you?
Hah. Throw them at the galaxy's peninsula of power levelling... Truly, sink or swim.
Well, good to have that question answered.
Heh, coming in fully-armoured. Probably a good idea.
Sadly, I don't think the Guardians will be willing to play those games. So... Maltusians.
Probably amused at the foolishness of affection.
I mean, it sounds like it hurt like a paper cut...
Dunked in salty lemon juice. Kalmin's not really one for biological solutions, after all.
Best to leave reality-hopping for the most extreme scenarios, OL. That sort of thing always leads to trouble.
After all, 'Cui Bono?'... I can imagine him picking up some vicious ideas in that case...
...Yeah, she's pretty much got a point. I doubt Sinestro's going to care.
Hate-filled and angry is easy. It's what they're angry about that matters.
Yeah, that would be a case of not just burning any bridges with the greenies, but dumping FOOF on them...
Oh, boy... Another attempt to contact New Genesis...
Given that Hinon knows your origins, and you have the excuse of 'I met alternates with various colours', yeah.
A little more problematic, but manageable...
Yeah, this whole thing is kind of predicated on acquiring or manufacturing at least one.
Oh, that's going to be a treat... Why am I suddenly picturing someone like a Maltusian Kratos?
And that's not a joke, either. I can't imagine what killing a planet with Rage would look like...
...True, there are a few worlds that would deserve that fate...
At the very least, it appears to be true in the Renegade timeline. Or at least Renegade used that fact to taunt the Forever People. Then the actual meeting between Orion and Renegade.
As long as it has some destructive properties then Kalmin may be skilled in it.
Maybe in her time with the Citizenry Jade found some kind of world that they inhabit.
Thank you, corrected.
It was in the comic as well. See the picture linked.
That only makes sense if she had said "what happens to people's souls after they get eaten" or something along those lines. Since she separates "the souls" from "the people" the phrasing makes it pretty clear that she is talking about two different things. And she clearly asks about what happens to souls and she also clearly mentions people getting eaten.
There is absolutely evidence of it being true in YJ, however it was Season 4 which Zoat hadn't seen last time someone asked.
