Whelp, pretty sure I've fucked up. Left an edit a minute after my last post because I didn't like how I had written a certain sentence. INB4 a sumo wrestler with the word "EDIT" scrawled across his belly bulldozes Donny through a wall.

Incoming shortly. Within the next 30 minutes actually, since it is just the one action so far.

@Doc Doctor Posted.

His visor is facing down, so no trickshots. Feel free to fire at him with either the magnum or Vector (or anything else), but due to reasons that shall be elucidated in time, no autoing.

If Donny survives his predicament, you will no longer have to worry about the edit.

Incidentally @Terminal, since Luca is (canon) knowledgeable about what's going on, is there anything in particular you'd like to be going on? My intention is to improvise some science for the current predicament and run with it full-force, so if there's any conclusion he SHOULD be reaching -- i.e. there's some very specific thing happening that should be clear to this character (and that I wouldn't figure out with a quick refresher on Faraday cages), it might......

.....well what I'm asking here is this: is there any information readily available to Luca that will facilitate an accurate assessment by mdk?

As far as I am aware, unless Luca has particular expertise here - no. Luca was just the only passenger at the time looking at the back of the Limousine who could be relied to know what electroplating was due to his specific background. Ariett should also know about it and be able to recognize or at least analogize it on sight, but at the time of the post she was not looking towards the back of the limousine. The hypothetical questions I posed in my post were intended to indicate an uncertain origin of the occurring effect, so there is no conclusion I expect your characters to come to in order to avoid an imminent death. It is not insomuch that they cannot understand it, than it is simply a touch outside of their immediate realms of specialization. I specifically mentioned molecular golems since Luca has probably either seen or at least knows about similar effects that could be produced using them, but whether or not they are being employed here is uncertain and would need to be investigated.

I do encourage inventive problem solving however. Proceed at will.

Upon reflection I prioritized Luca's reaction to the more interesting (to him) spectacle. But hey -- if he survives (that's a maybe) we might learn something? RISKS!

edit: also I didn't mention it in the post, because it's not something Luca would ever consciously think about, but he's got all kinds of robo-coordination in his bio, which makes such an improbable diving-save more feasible.

Yes, I noted his mechanical-related precision and coordination prior to this. A pity Luca could not be in two places at once to help save Amelie.

I will wait for everyone else to post before proceeding further.

Hmm. Well then, in the interest of saving a life and in lieu of developing events, I think perhaps another post from me would be interesting...

Hey, @Holmishire! How about you write seeing Amelie be successful in her overly complicated attempt to save her life, and see what happens? ... Worst that can happen is that Terminal kills everyone you too! Hahaha!

Oh, yeah. Maybe I should have reacted to seeing the arrow on the car making stuff happen. ... Eh, I forgot. That was fun to write. XD

Edit: Oh, yeah. The previous Redirection Orb likely fell as Amelie did, as she couldn't make the next one without felling that one. Important detail.

Also, REALLY EDNA!? NO CAPES!? Let me tell you, what would have happened, had I not worn my cape-like cloak...! ... ... ... Okay, so I might still die, BUT STILL! XD

... I actually just had a nightmare where I had this finely crafted post before me, perfect in every way, yet when I posted it magically turned into an unintelligible mess where every word was missing letters and likely had countless grammatical mistakes as well. Each word also somehow had this red bar under it to emphasize the errors despite that it was posted on the guild which doesn't have that feature. Hah.

Guild has that feature though.

Also, yes. That is a nightmare. That is very much a nightmare.

Also, is that thug being interrogated from 20 yards away?

You can have that feature when you use certain browsers, both in Opera and Chrome there are dictionaries present that will give the red underline under misspelled words.

Not AFTER it has been posted and I'd have to edit it, it doesn't have that feature. It was perfect in the writing-box.

Speaking of which.

@Holmishire has missed the 48 hour deadline.

A new post will be up from me shortly, as my deadline from my response to Donny is fast approaching.

Ah, right, I see.

It's some nightmare to have, the Final Hazard is more dangerous than I had thought o_O It's messing with our minds!

Someone's gonna die...

i've screwed up
If anyone dies from this I will definitely be offering refunds.

@Terminal, am I still allowed to post now, or would you prefer I wait until after the punishment takes effect?

Oh, feel free to post. In fact, you are still near the Limousine, no? I would advise dodging if you want to avoid impalement.

Also: Even with the more-than-once rule, we have now accumulated enough errors to significantly smudge up the text. Thankfully with the number of participants the first world-break is not too severe, so things are still relative easy to interpret.

My first instinct was to cheer and link "Still Alive", but then it occurred to me that perhaps that's a little premature. Hahahahahahahahaha...

It appears transcribing Donny's dialogue has eliminated the accent -- that was unintentional. Stylistically I just never actually type out an alternative pronunciation, even though to do so is perfectly valid. ......but at the same time, I mean, lol, it's great character and all, but I'm not exactly gonna miss awwwl thah extrah wurrk reedin thaht.

Poking fun. My sincere apologies for cosmically altering your character!

...well. Yay. This challenge has now crossed the border from intriguing, interesting, entertaining and challenging for my character, to SERIOUSLY BLOODY SCARY!!!

Fun.
