[OOC] God's Shattering [Concluded]

[Guilty Spark]

[Lucius Cypher]

I'm currently at work, but ill try to get a post up eventually

[Guilty Spark]

He hit the platform so hard their individual chains broke?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Guilty Spark

He's that boss.

More realistically speaking, the situation might be where they weren't individually chained at the feet, but had one chain runner between all of them (or per 5 or 10 or whatnot), that was attached to the platform. If the platform breaks, everyone can free themselves from the runner pretty quickly.

[Lucius Cypher]

He hit the platform so hard their individual chains broke?

@Guilty Spark

Yes.

Though it's more along the lines of "Smashed the things holding the chains onto the platform, giving them enough maneuverability to walk". They may still have chains around their ankles and such, it's just now they can at least run away.

Don't worry too much about it, you have a big demonic knight trying to stab you in the face right now.

[Guilty Spark]

This fight will be brief.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Yup.

Platinum swings one of his swords once, and the demonic knight is kerboom, then doubles up and annhilates all the prisoners.

He then comes down and pats Cyrin on the back, "Good hustle", as Legion has by now regained use of his brain, exponentially made 1000 of himself, and suffocates Emilia under a dogpile going, "IT IS INEVITABLE".

[Lucius Cypher]

The demon could probably survive a fight against the platinum knight long enough for the prisoners to escape, maybe even take a hit or two, more if he fights defensively. Won't do so great if he gets ganked by everyone though.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Wow, nifty. I thought Platinum was Captain Overwhelming Brute Force Punches Out Dragons, the one with the least flexible or asymmetric power, but the most power.

"This light blade's attack power is so great that it's said that Yggdrasil can bring down whole armies with a single swing of it"

[Guilty Spark]

I'll wait for @KoL, as Asgard could prove pivotal to this engagement. Heck, if she came to her senses she could easily stop the prisoners too, but she'd probably focus on the demon or the thing attacking the crowd indiscriminately.

@The 42nd Gecko

I mean, assuming he doesn't do that and just like, swipes at Eligos. Eligos is a good conventional fighter, but he doesn't carry any special attacks aside from "Don't stop stabbing".

@Lucius Cypher@Guilty Spark@The 42nd Gecko

I see that things seem to be escalating pretty quickly (which was exactly Emilia's intention ). I'll read the IC later and post between tonight and Sunday morning.

Now, talking about Yggdrasil's power. The best way to put it is by using Fate/Stay Night's Noble Phantasms as a comparison. His full power swings are about as powerful as an Anti-Fortress NP. That means that a single hit can vaporize a castle and a thousands strong army in seconds. Which makes it completely impossible to use inside the city, unless he wanted to obliterate the half of it in his considerable range.

Indeed, he has no versatility at all, just brute force and endurance, but whenever I do a NPC like him I follow this to the heart:

"When brute force goes past a certain point, technique has no meaning at all."

@KoL

And now we understand his weaknesses a little more xP

At any rate, I have a feeling that the two monstrosities are going to go down fast with the myriads of characters around xP

I wonder if a few precisely timed stealth attacks will weaken them considerably xP

[The 42nd Gecko]

Indeed, fighting where collateral damage might occur. :P

[Savo]

@The 42nd Gecko

In a nutshell, just cause brutal amounts of damage, because why not?

[The 42nd Gecko]

So KoL, are you only gonna do big respond to everyone posts? Cause me and Vocab have been waiting for three days.

[McFazzer]

Never try to sick burn a scholar. They'll get you back real good :3

About the Observation Division...

Those in this division have the sole task of personally safe guarding The Superior's life as well as directing the activities of the other three Divisions.

So if Tori really wants to be an A-class bitch and insult an obvious superior and compromise her standing, by all means. The Observation Division will see to it that she is stripped of her rank and privilege, and quite possibly jailed for insubordination.
Furthermore, Yggdrasil gave the stone to us to carry so that it would be impossible for the rebels to take, unless they knew specifically we had it (which they don't, to my knowledge). The blast already happened, and a good distance away, farther than to compromise Cecilia's safety. Not to mention, as a bigwig of her division, she still has duties on the ground to oversee.

Let's be real; someone who works in a national library isn't going to talk down to the second-in command of what amounts to Homeland Security. Doubly so, with Cecilia's reputation.

[Lucius Cypher]

To be fair, you both currently under Yggdrilsil by orders of its superior. No official chain of command has been established between the two of you. While its usually the job to keep the other three Divisions focused by the observation division, being in it doesn't automatically make one a superior over the others. Same reason a Marine can't just go ordering around privates of the army: different jurisdictions, who only need to follow the commands of their supreme leaders.

That being said, I approve of this development. Tori's talents would be better with the Librarians since only one person has her counter.

Also it's more like the member of the CIA against Homeland Security. Operating the library just happens to be one of their other jobs.

[Slamurai]

@Lucius Cypher
Fair enough, although the realism of the matter still gives me reason to question it. Especially regarding their respective standings in their divisions, being so impudent to the XO of Observation would never truly fly, just as you wouldn't walk up to director of a gov't agency and spit in their face, expecting no repercussion IRL.

I'd like some clarification on the Intelligence Divsion's duties - while the name implies they'd be concerned with similar tasks as Observation (surveillance, security, counter-terrorism, etc.) the OOC just regulates them to librarians and history-keepers:

This Division keeps all of the world's history and records at hand and secured, making them true librarians and scribes. Categorizing all of mankind's past, present, and possible future, they are the historians and predictors of the Imperium.

Nothing suggests that they actually perform security duties, other than speculation from the name. Can @TheWindel clarify for me?
