It should be about the heroes and villains that populate paragon and the rogue isles. Mabey something like common grounds.
BTW THANK YOU HICKMAN!
And yeah, I'm in the camp where I think it might work best if it were something like Kurt Busiek did with the Marvels mini-series, where you see this incredible world through the eyes of "NPCs." It would mirror the same awe that hopefully we'd feel as the audience, and it could work well as a narrative device as long as it didn't become TOO expository in its dialog and such.
Or the whole thing could be about Azuria's inability to padlock a storage shed... -

No, because I used the cough syrup to wash down twelve boxes of All-Bran and a bushel of prunes... -

Pantsless, standing tied to a pole on a Mayan pyramid, blindfolded in a sungod robe, multiple canon's aimed at you with "For those about to Rock" blaring live from AC/DC. Canon's fire on musical queue while midgets dressed as clowns flog you with flaming cat's of nine tails and thousands of naked women throw tiny pickles at you.
(Thank you Real Genius)
I'm somewhat offended that in your scenario, I'm pantsless, and you're saying "Think bigger, Hickman"... -

I find it funny that the guy who wrote the passage in question comes into the thread and comments on it and you guys just ignore it and continue the tangent.
As my girlfriend likes to say, "No one listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen album." -

You may not have noticed, but noone in the real world who's in their right mind

Golden Girl is right!
Harumph, harumph! -
Quote:Yeah, that scene was a combination of that, and the fact that the description I was given of Psyche's character was that after the Shalice/Aurora dealy, her personality had become pretty...let's say "cranky." So I went with that, while trying to keep her somewhat likable (which hopefully manifests itself a bit later on).Originally Posted by TeChameleon
Heh- y'know, the whole 'Sister Psyche goes off on some kid picturing her in her underwear' was actually in the much-beloved Smoke and Mirrors arc. Troy Hickman explained it on the boards a while back (not sure where, sorry- think it was somewhere in the vast morass that is Hero and Villain Culture) that it was actually supposed to be a joke that didn't come across properly- the joke, of course, being that her costume was more revealing than the underwear he was imagining her in, or something to that effect.
If I had free rein to write her now, I'd probably go with a personality something like Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel circa 1979. -

small wonder that hickman's smoke and mirrors story was so popular with the fans, it wasn't written by a brooding adolescent with authority issues),

Sorry for the left turn on the thread, MOO...
Back to the matter at hand, that guy will now ALWAYS be Kevin Dewitt to me.
Can we get some backstory for the various people at the Enhancement shops? They always fascinate me (by the way, do you folks have particular clerks that you ALWAYS deal with? I find that I always go to the female employees, if there are any). -

Wait, Troy Hickman is still around?
I'm shocked.
So is my doctor. -

DOH!
I don't need a backstory.
My back tells a story all its own... -

I just wanted to share this with you. While running the Smoke And Mirrors Task Force, someone on the team said this:
To which I responded:
Your pants are so awesome! Thank you! And them!
It never occurred to me that people doing that TF would talk about me. Now I'm going to be terribly self-conscious and probably need (additional) therapy... -
Quote:I thought I was funny-strange and Steelclaw was funny-haha.Originally Posted by Jack Power
It won't work with Hickman. Hickman is more 'think about' funny. Steelclaw is 'omg' funny.

Ah ha! :: pounces :: Troy... buddy... have you published any arcs? Curious minds are dying to know.

Whattaya want? I was just sitting down to a cup of Bosco and Golden Girls Season Three...

For what it's worth, Baron Zoria kicked my backside at least a dozen times before I finally beat him. I have only myself to blame...

Do you have to turn off the lights and look in a mirror to do that right, or is that only for Hickman?
Are you implying that I have to turn off the lights when I look in the mirror BECAUSE OF MY ACCURSED UGLINESS? -
Quote:I could really feel the love in that "maybe"...Originally Posted by KaliMagdalene
Yeah, my computer broke and I couldn't afford to replace it for some time.
And yeah, I've missed here, and you, and lots of other people, and maybe Troy. -
Nannerpus is on the job!

Quote:Thank you. I will do my best to win the pie-eating contest.Originally Posted by KaliMagdalene
I want to say something here (and actually did, but edited it out) but I really shouldn't say it here.
I hope Troy does well in his future endeavors. -

If we say people's names multiple times they come back or appear in this thread.

NOTHING works for Hickman. -

God, don't say Troy Hickman again! It's dangerous!!!
why is everyone looking at me that way....?
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, I believe that it's the fourth time saying it that cancels it out.
Of course, the fifth time is the absolute worst, since it brings back the original three, and then adds one.
Oh...Oh no...where did my pants go?!?! Am I becoming Troy Hickman?! Gah!
[/ QUOTE ]
Why, yes, I DO find you becoming. But that's not the point! -
[ QUOTE ]
On second thought, I'd summon Troy Hickman. Troy would defeat the executioners in one fell swoop.
(of course, if I continued to play the sax, I'd be included in that swoop.)
[/ QUOTE ]
Or maybe one swell foop.
I think I'd play "Jailbreak" by AC/DC, and urge the firing squad to shoot when Bon says "...with a bullet in his...back!" I want to die as theatrically as I lived.
