No, it's between series one and series two. Amon was recently defeated, though that news hasn't percolated through to everywhere yet.
No, just regular guards.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm honestly surprised Paul, and the Orange Lantern corps more generally, are doing the whole Prime Directive thing. Does Azula not care at all about her people having only primitive technology?
In the show, Iroh went explained why he didn't.
I remember Iroh explaining why him defeating Ozai wouldn't work. According to the wiki he did take over when Zuko went to look for his mother. I don't remember Iroh saying why he didn't stick around in the animated series, rather than going back to running his tea shop.
They haven't been her people for seventy years.
That too. Orange Lanterns -and fire benders- focus on the fulfilment of their goals. Someone else just giving you stuff is off-putting.
I'll be honest given that this is Paul and with his luck I almost expected things to go off the rails.
It's possible that that's what the writers wanted to communicate, but they may not have done the best job of it.
Should be try.
Interesting. A Renegade segment, so soon after his last little adventure? I honestly have no idea of what universe this one might be, but I get the feeling it'll be amusing.
Names don't ring any bells, sadly.
Heh. Getting around the physical limitations of his physique in such amusing ways.
A job interview? How mundane. I guess Luna was serious about him finding something to do.
Well, quite rare when the Renegade isn't involved yet, anyway.
He's not going to have any trouble commuting, at least.
'Unspent' as in not served? Not in this universe... Yet.
...Ah, they think you mean a jacket? Oh, are they ever in for a surprise.
...At least they're nominally equal-opportunity employers?
I take it such arcane effects are rather less common around here, and there's hidden dangers involved.
...Definitely a concern, it seems, if the brief blurb was anything to go by.
I kind of picture him either holding it in his hand like one of those extendo-grip toys, or having it strapped on sticks underneath his forearm...
Since, going by the mention of a minotaur, they are in need of optical concealment measures without mental effects...
Except maybe on a relative scale of 'Captain America' to 'Superman (Silver Age)'...
A matter of physics, really. Just because he is strong doesn't mean the world is too.
Force-fields, baby. Between Rings, New God tech and sheer orneriness...
Note that 'survived' does not mean 'unaffected by'. He was a bit charred afterwards.
...Somehow, I don't get the feeling they get actual gods turning up looking for work. There's probably a cognito-hazard concern or the like...
Bet that'd be popular in government work.
...Okay, maybe not so popular.
Getting ideas about utilising it for others, perhaps? Magic apparently being a known quantity around here.
An interesting question. If it is, it's probably enjoying his discomfort and occasional suffering.
And that's not as in a 'shouting at the heavens' way, either. I don't remember it, but he has been close to the Source Wall and had a talk at least once.
Supervillains, basically. The kind that are immune to bullets, for instance.
That's also an issue. And I bet they don't have the budget for specialised containment gear for those circumstances, either.
...And he has something of an ultimate 'fuck you' for the really nasty threats. Even if it does leave all that power floating about ready to be claimed.
<facepalm> Foiled by his immigration status. Kind of embarrassing.
Do you want a general list, or itemised? And a bit rude, unless that Lizardman was some hidden major threat.
Zoat made it so motherbox/fatherbox can boomtube between realities.
Well, she's the new head of the department of superhuman affairs. Unlikely to get promoted, and he's not even the strongest superhuman that walks into that room. She's just a little worried about potential mind control and the fact that the "source" he mentions sounds like any number of lovecraftian horrors she knows is trying to invade that universe.
Thank you, corrected.Me said:
This is the 5th book, so it's not Bob. She's not an auditor till the end of the book either. It's his wife and the police officer she's working with / cheating on Bob with at the moment during the superhero hiring section.
This is only partially true. The superhumans are the losers of the genetic lottery - people who can - at the expense of gradual incurable brain damage - cast spells automatically and uncontrollably. Part of the appeal of the series is that things gradually escalate until a full on invasion by lovecraftian entities - Cthulhu in the US and the Black Pharaoh becoming prime minister in the UK due to lack of other choice to stop Cthulhu I think?
