Use "Unchained Melody," Michelle. 'Course, you'll have to have Whoopi Goldberg in there, too, since Numina is dead and has no body, but Whoopi is quite experienced in helping out in these matters. |

UGH, I hate that song. I hated it BEFORE that movie came out (and I worked in a movie theatre when it did come out, and heard it umpteen times a night). NO!
And besides, Matt already made that joke at the Dev M&G in Pocket D the other night.

Dang, my Wicked Clever has morphed into Late To The Party. Oh well, as they say, dying is easy--comedy is tough.

- I'm old. bad eyes ---> slow reader
- I'm hypercaffeinated. Caffeine --> Short attention span ---> skip over stuff while reading.
- I'm working. Interruptions in browsing ---> forgotten trains of thought.
- I'm old. bad memory. I forget excuses I used just three bullets beforehand, how can I be expected to remember something I read a few PAGES back.

This makes me believe Ghost Widow is just a big emo.
Eh, Numina could just rip his spirit out of his body, and they could ghost it up together.

They are different even if they share some physical aspects. Numina is an astral projection and GW is a ghost. Numina apparently gets to keep her old personality while GW is mostly stuck with the feelings she had at the time of her death.

We only have Ghost Widow's word for that. She may be in extreme denial about her situation. Or maybe her writer just liked Kai on Lexx.

Superheroes in love...
But yes, they mention the memory thing explicitly when dealing with Ghost Widow.
"Death is like being a living memory. All I am, all I can be, was frozen at the moment I died. We, the dead, cannot change on our own. The dead cannot move on. And the dead cannot let go. But for those like me, those still able to think and to feel, it's a curse beyond imagining. I can understand what has become of me. I can understand that I am dead, and that I am in a way, a living memory."

I think "going on patrol" will eventually become similar to "serving in all capacities" as a useful code phrase for a T rated game

Sounds like the running joke b/w Pos and Sora in my story about 'scientific investigation'.

) than I do with the sniggering about *nudge-nudge* *wink-wink* action between the two of them. Why are the devs even mentioning it, especially when it does not even seem possible? Michelle, writing fan fiction, certainly has license to extrapolate upon the relationship she posits, and that is fine. And it had the advantage of being physically possible, to boot.
Since I have not read her work, however, I suppose that some part of it might take place while Posi was sealed inside his armor, but that problem at least has precedent for a solution. I refer to Peter and Gordon's song, "Knight in Rusty Armor":
As he bent to kiss his bride
He found out he had rusted up inside
Of his battle dress
And I can't guess
How they still got married and had twins
(They came in tins!)
Every suit of armor ever made
Has a kink
Chain mail pants
With a missing link!

FWIW, my story takes place just behind the current storyline (it's now about a month behind 'GOING ROGUE', as it were - States and the gang have gone to Praetoria, brought back Domi, etc, but real full-on contact/war with Praetoria hasn't happened yet - they're going to run smack into that before too long). And a large part of Posi's problems with relationships is that he'd become so accustomed to being cut off from others inside his armor that he's afraid of getting close to people. (Sorina's problem, on the other hand, is as a soldier, she's lost too many people close to her, and because her own powers are rather weak, she blames herself for never being strong enough to really be a 'hero'.)
Sure, thanks to Dark Watcher, Posi's powers are under control now and he has his body back... but he had a looooong time to get used to being alone. (Not to mention he still has nightmares about the six weeks he was trapped in FPHQ when the 'powers went out', and he really WAS alone.)
So in some respects, had the Numitron thing started BEFORE Issue 10/11/whenever he got his body back, I might have bought into it more readily because theirs could have been a more, for want of a better/less punny term, spiritual relationship. It may never be consummated in the traditional fashion, but they'd understand each other in a way that the rest of the world (save other ghosts) could. But he's got a body back now - he's moved on. She hasn't. So unless they want to stay doomed to the 'I won't rest til I find a way to bring you back to life' notion, I just can't see it happening.
*shrugs*
But theirs is canon, mine is fan fiction. Unless Tava ever manages to become either an Ascended Extra or Canon Immigrant...
