[OOC] Arena Chat Thread

[ImportantNobody]

I'll get my posts done tonight during the olympics or something. Could have a multiverse Olympics. Evvie would do wright lifting or throwing stuff.

I realized recently that it doesn't make sense that she couldn't swim, given how she's always in nature, unless I add on a trait that she fears open water so simply avoids it.

Could be fun to have twin characters who try to be mysterious and talk in unison/complete each other's sentances but they mess up a bunch. When confronted about it they ignore all criticism to their act. XD Turns out they are the best henchmen to some bad guy who's technically not that bad, just acting like it, so this group in general isn't taken seriously and are phonies. perhaps they could be a pretend big bad in the multiverse.

Who wants to have a team battle, 2v2 at least?

@Doc Doctor

I'm pretty sure out battle just ended with my post. Maybe I could fight with the twins I just mentioned? Although you probably mean two separate people rather than one using two characters.

[Doc Doctor]

@ImportantNobody

Yeah, two players.

[Doc Doctor]

I'm considering the creation of a new character. A flying guinea pig that can multiply rapidly and swarm an enemy.

Hmmm *taps his keys*

*Cringes as his hand burns painfully, pulls out a shopvac from hammerspace. Begins vacuuming the holy water up.*

[yoshua171]

*Keeps generating additional matter to replace it, returns to a solid state, now shining with holy light*

@Doc Doctor

I can come up with a character that will somehow loose against it.

[yoshua171]

I once had a character who controlled highly flammable man-eating chipmunks. He could make them multiply.

It was actually pretty terrifying.

Random shower thought. Suppose two people are fighting faster than the speed of sound while talking amongst each other, which means they'd also be talking super fast to keep up with their reactions. Would it be possible for the air to "keep up" with their vocal chords to produce coherent speech or would all the vibrations get mumbled together due to being too close to each other as the words smash together. Or perhaps they would have to draw out their words, so instead of saying their special attack "Laser Blast!" he would go, "laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-" for a matter of seconds. And also their breathing might be messed up horribly, like how they'd get the air to draw out all their words. Well, I doubt they'd be hyperventilating during the battle. Technically it would be the same amount of time drawing out from their perspective as it would for people observing, so it would take no more air, just seeming like it's drawn out thanks to their perspective.

Also, I wonder if they'd sound high pitched to outsiders or not even able to be heard.

@ImportantNobody
Kanitah never spoke while exceeding super sonic speeds. That was because he'd outrun his words and the impact would be lost.

If they sped up the way they talked, it would still be the same tone. Since it's the same vocal chords.

@LeeRoy

Unless he "Fus Roh Da"'d it and has his words turn into a sonic boom that smack people like a brick. XD By outrunning the words, wouldn't the words come out but just not move as fast as him unless the vibrations can't leave his mouth and get too compressed (which could be solved by running backwards so the sound waves do come out but stretched out? Huh...). Basically, could he speak and move so fast that he will hear himself speak again once he stops. The answer should be yes.

Usually when audio is speed up it goes much higher pitch. Are you saying that, perhaps, this is a flaw of recordings so if it was strictly vocal chords talking faster it would still sound the same?

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody
The sound wouldn't be traveling faster if they spoke faster. Just their mouths. But if they were talking at supersonic speeds they would be producing sonic booms with their lips.

[Doc Doctor]

@LeeRoy@ImportantNobody

Everybody knows that talking is a free action.

@LeeRoy

I'm thinking if they have to create sonic booms to speak then the words turn incomprehensible due to compression of the sound waves so you'd have to physically slow down to sub sonic speeds for the words to hit you and still make sense. My characters would likely have enchanted communication necklaces or whatever to speak into that communicates instantly across any distance to eliminate this problem and other uses, of course.

Funny picturing someone sonic boom talking and sounding like gunshots/whips. You could create an intelligible language out of different sonic boom noises, but English I think not. Maybe I should have an alien race for my scifi setting communicate via sonic booms. XD some communicate through color and pheromones. That subverts the trope of scifi stuff have tons of blinking colored lights on panels because that's actually their long range communication, devices detecting color changes of them and transmitting it.

Edit: for talking is a free action, perhaps someone has the power of tropes so compels individuals to stand there listening to his monologues rather than attack. He has many powers that should be fun. However, strong will can break some of the tropes.

2v2

@Doc Doctor

I'll do a 2v2

[yoshua171]

Anyone want to fight Ananze? Ranked please.
