[to Cyrielle]<Just like same sex marriage!>
Same-sex marriage isn't illegal
everywhere in the US, only most states! California, being one of the liberal states, is also among the 17 that have legal gay marriage.
We're behind the curve, but we're not
that much behind.
Ester is somewhere in the studio, waiting for the interview to start.
((AKA: GreatWyrm?))
Dinner, RtD's, a fire drill...been busy.
Conny is feeding Momo with a bottle, and feeding Elizabeth.
Selina and Momo are waiting for the interview, the former incredibly nervous.
Where is Meme? Also, how and why is Conny feeding both at once?
We try to keep things reasonably realistic here. Well, except for the magic, we settle for "usually internally consistent" there.
who sais it's not magic?
When you don't at least keep the linky thing at the top of the quote, I don't have any clue what you're talking about. I need to look back in the thread, which adds extra time to the already copious investment I already put into this game.
My point is that, if your character is 4 inches tall, expect her to be acted upon as if she was 4 inches tall.
1. Little creatures aren't that much faster than big ones by default. Small creatures' small legs impede them. Moreover, the reason that flies and such are so good at dodging swatters has more to do with how their brains are wired than the size of any part of them.
Little creatures have a much lower inertia.
Their muscles are also much weaker, and again, their legs are absolutely miniscule. Proportionately, their running and jumping abilities are better, but on the same scale they are worse and roughly the same, respectively.
For proof: Take a child, perhaps 8-9. (Or a bit older--it depends on availability.) Take an adult. Have them both walk, or run if the child won't walk. If the child outruns the adult, it's going to be more due to motivation or endurance than speed. Or, take a tall person and a short person, see who walks faster. If there is a noticeable difference with such small differences in height (as a tall person, I can attest to this), imagine what one of them being more than a dozen times shorter than the other would do.
Also, I also put 30 in mind for a reason. Who sais small folk are not wired that way?
Well, the big thing is that flies perceive the world going about, oh, slightly over a dozen times faster. The fact that she can interact on a human scale indicates that this is not the case. Pretty much all the other reasons are rooted in anatomy and not neurology, largely the fact that flies have wings and are therefore not limited to the puny speed their puny legs offer.
Don't try to take the whole thing apart by assuming she is just a human scaled down to size. When magic can let you summon personas and what not, then naturaly occuring magic can create a tiny creature with incredibly dense and fast musculature, 20 times as efficent as normal muscles, and a brain that works images at 120 fps (number made up out of thin air)
Dense musculature would make things worse, 20x efficiency is absurd, and that brain speed (a bit slower than that of a fly but still 8 times faster than a human) would make it almost impossible to chat and connect with normal people (imagine watching this brief YouTube video and it taking nearly a minute to play).
Which actually brings me to another problem: The location of this settlement of tiny people. If they are relatively isolated from big people, and in Australia, they are almost certainly in the Outback. Which is also known as "The part of Australia where we can't find any crops tough enough to grow economically.
It's remote, and concealed with glamour, so you could even walk right by it and not notice. The inhabitants usualy try their best to avoid contact, because unless you are a magical girl that knows no fear, something 20 times the size of you is usualy scary. Their economy is going through a small(heh, nudge, get it) unemployment crisis, all parties are blaming the other and the democratic process inefficent, so resolution of that problem will take a while.
And it's fertile, despite being in the driest part of by far the least fertile continent, because...magic? The more magic required for a society to not collapse, the less likely I am to approve of it. This applies double if the race itself requires extreme quantities of magic to work.
while you were writing, 9 new posts ha - are you kidding me bay12?
Again, that's RotMG.
also, though it is a mightly late question, but what is a persona, exactly?
Something from a video game series.
Helpful? link.
are those obtainable in-game through any means?
Not if you want to keep your magic.
Magic, personas, and superpowers are mutually exclusive.
what's with all the discussion on what to roll and which player will controle the succubus if all it has been summoned for was to fade to black with it for a while?
Cado was presumably planning some kind of drama stuff, but that wouldn't work if the succubus acted of its own accord. And since it was summoned and controlled by a character originally born of perverted thoughts...
No I meant in the OOC as well.
She's developed enough as a character to deserve a name, and it's also faster to type?
We could fuck up Selina some more and call the resulting personality Celestia.

yeah, but when the choice is between "maybe die, if my numerous allies wont be able to save me" and "open the gates that turns upside down and the inside out and puts mankind back on the foodchain", it falls a bit short
Oh, please, you think that would be the toughest thing we fought?
The worst, sure, but that's for reasons other than difficulty. More to do with squick and censors.
Yeah but she's a dragon, not a wyrm. Assuming there's any actual difference.
Some difference probably exists, but I'd be surprised if it's something you can tell from first glance. Up to Mcclay how Wyrms look like, I guess.
Going by the source which inspired my name, "wyrm" is just the second-eldest age category for dragons.
Dunno what it is here, but since "[Corebus] does hate dragons and will not be slow to fight them," it's a bit moot.
Wrym!? Dragon!? Same diffrence! They are Koallifispawned monsters and should be killed!
"I'm right here, you know."
