With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Thank you, corrected.

I'm not sure I'd even go that far. Alkyone's social skills aren't the best.

Yes, though not until near the end of the episode.

There's a limit to what one man can manage,

Ambrose was using brigade to refer to a group of like-minded people. The SI was referring to a formal organisation.

No, it should. The AI usually responds out loud if spoken to out loud, and inside if thought at.

Thank you, corrected.

Not for years.

Thank you, corrected.

Hippolyta, for trusting the emissary of a brutish, barbaric male demigod.

Something like that.

 

Yep, she's a TV personality now.

We actuallysaw her and Paul talk about Adam Blake on her stage.

And that may be more true in the following chapters.

Which is fair.

Zeus probably hasn't had to do much actual work in a long time, so it may be taking him time make decisions.

Or that may be normal for gods.

Remember, they're immortal, so a few moths may not be all that much time for them.

It may not necessarily be something he set up to take out Paul.

It's possible that he's genuinely worried about the Titans having further influence.

To be fair, despite Paul's caution and preparedness, he can still go into situations without much info.

Yes, perfectly fine.

Nothing to see there.

 

I thought they left the mainland for Themyscira because the gods told them to? I seem to remember you saying that in the past.

I'd like to see her meet the Citizenry then. They're the perfect representation of what she thinks is how the world should work would actually look like. Bonus points if they tell her that if she doesn't impress them, she'll be made part of their porridge.

 

They left the mainland to an island they were guided to by the gods after the old city was defeated and conquered.

 

Such a bro!

 

I mean, not getting involved with a guy who can easily crush you has served him well this far...

But the old Greek gods were a bit rapey and willing to do some pretty horrible shit, I would avoid all modern superheroes just on principle if I had that kind of back history.

 

"Tartarus has existed for eons and eons; I'm sure it will be fine for another half an hour while I finish my pizza!"

 

I think that she did, I seem to recall something like that when he tried to set her a date.


Also are we sure it was Zeus and not somebody pretending to be Zeus to get Diana out of the way ? Or into the pit ?

 

Oh that series is amazing. It's probably too much to expect a Paul that will encounter the crazy Gauls/Gaulois. But I am curious, is there anybody in this thread who knows the series Asterix? And if so which book was your favorite?

 

Good idea but the amazons especially Diana have interacted with Gods a lot so it would take some especially skilled to trick them.

 

Pretty much all the books written by René Goscinny are good. Sadly since his death, the scenario quality dropped significantly.

Astérix and Cleopatra is of course a classic, both the comic and the animated version.

 

On one hand I agree with you, but on the other he is a man, and that implies some behavioral expectations for them.

 

So much for no new projects.
Whatever spell work being made to keep Paul from looking into Constantine must be working overtime.

 

Perhaps it isn't a trenchcoat brigade. Perhaps it's a trenchcoat conspiracy.

 

If it is Paul should call Question and see if he can help figure it out.

 

He'd have to investigate himself.

I mean, he'd try, but...

 

I quite agree, it is a particularly good one. But I find that Asterix en Corse might surpass it with certain scenes.

 

Well, that sure didn't take long.

 

(Replying to Vaermina)

Now I just have to wonder, is there some magic effect on earth preventing people from looking for John or is it a conspiracy by someone (possibly John) preventing people from looking for John.

 

Constantine is the Laughing Magician probability itself bends for him.

He is the Fool, unlimited potential, luck and improvisation are on his side.

Sadly the same cannot be said about his friends and loved ones, which is why they are seemingly in a contest for who can find the newest and most gruesome way to die.

Synchronicity Wave Travelling is just the active form of that.

The fact that he can con gods and demons with stunts that a 13 year old would see through would be the passive form of that.

Golden Boy seemingly spanked probability until it called him daddy since he was declared the most powerful magus in the world and wasn't he king of England or ruler or the world or something?

 

So option A then?

 

want -> wants

 

Rage Paul: "Is that me? Is that me angrier than me?"

 

"Nuanced".
Does Eris have her chaos senses tingling now?

 

It's been quite some time, but I'm glad to hear that Paul helped.

 

I kind of appreciate the respect that Zagreus is showing Paul here. It's not often that people can look past how Paul genuinely wants to help people and the goofy things he sometimes does and realize that this is the guy who could probably depopulate a few planets if he really wanted to.

Oh. I hope that when Zeus shows up at the end that Paul is able to call on the Ophidian to give him a serious blow to his ego, and maybe his face too.

 

Ah, I see.

Zeus wanted to cosplay as Wonder Woman for the upcoming holiday, but Diana assumed he wanted her uniform on his floor. Clear as day.

 

If he's going into Tartarus, then that may be a possibility.

Now I'm reminded of a fic in which Kratos repeatedly kills Zag.

'finds'

True, but he's still managed to make Donna and done who knows what else.

'a condom'

He may not be wise in the sex departmen, but in other areas, like the Titans, he could be.

And unlike renegade, Paul lacks divine armor.

Assuming they don't try to crush him again.

We all know where this is going.

Yep.

Prepare yourself for looking at him like that, Zag.

Assuming they don't try anything.

Or heck, maybe any afterlife is preferable to them instead of being trapped on a planet.

'acute, they're'

Surprisingly insightful of the damn psychopath.

It's still insensitive and racist, but you really can't expect much from him.

You are both demigods at this point, so your senses would be better.

Though you two would be mire aware if things like thoughts and emotions, while Zeus would be better suited for the natural world.

Plus he's got several millenia on you two, so he would have developed his powers further.

Hey, you don't get to hog enlightenment.

Nice to see you actually helped her.

Ahh, of course.

 

Soon...
You and me, mano e mano, winner takes the pantheon
