I feel, I was going to post today but I got called away for personal stuff. Tomorrow's a holiday so I've got extra time after work to post, so I'll have one then, guaranteed.

@DLL

I'm home in a few minutes, so I'll be posting shortly after.

Writing up that post now, I came home and went to bed. That's how tired I was.

A'ight, got Cee's reply up. Definite escalation, but hey - there's only so much fun to be derived from trading potshots. Let's see Virtuoso kick it up a step or two here, have some REAL fun.

Also: adding an End-Of-Turn status section to the posts to detail what Cee's doing in a more comprehensible format. Hopefully it's unnecessary because the post itself should make it plain, but she's got a number of toggles up right now and things have slipped through the cracks before. Lemme know if you like those or want me to axe them.

@LeeRoy

Sorry for the delay. Ended up sitting on this one a few days - it's so very, very Cee, but it's also something I could easily imagine being contentious. Couldn't figure out anything better to do, however, so...here we go. Let's see what happens, shall we?

Your interpretation of the defensive barrier is incredibly different from how it's described. It's really not a random mess, it's an incredibly organized hexagonal pyramidal rotation of projectiles fired at a fraction of light speed. Firing inward in a pyramid or cone shape to intercept projectiles that are on a course for Virtuoso himself, rather than attempting to block every single one of them. The projectiles at the closest point to him fire forward to intercept the radiation rounds before they detonate. It honestly doesn't matter at this point, but that's how it was written.

Gotcha. Heh...well, we'll call it even for the fact that the Pompeii warheads are not actually detonating anywhere near Virtuoso and were attacking him with long-range graser shots. Eithaway, suppose the intent works out in either case. My apologies if my writing was confusing again; I'm not used to how this place operates.
