Mhmm. Methinks Archangel and Guilt pray for very different things. Oooh, and isn't Archangel supposed to be an agent of the High Clairvoyant?

Guilt has a bit of a bone to pick with the Clairvoyant.

@thewizardguy

Oh, she is definitely an agent of the Clairvoyant.

Maybe she can try to pick that bone with Jeanne, if she knows that she works for the Clairvoyant directly. Which, well, might not be readily accessible knowledge.

@Old Amsterdam

I have said my fill, and am happy to see that this conversation ensued in such a polite and friendly manner.

On another note, I'll have Guilt reappearing in the city soon to participate in the giant pink space jellyfish event.

@thewizardguy

With a name like Guilt, maybe she needs to go Church. :3

On the note of Traveler, I'mma say this:
Mass and size relate to her teleportation, not portals. Her portals are limited by not being able to appear more than three stories high, or low. Hence why she couldn't stop the majority of that pillar. Which perhaps I hadn't wrote clearly enough.

On Comet, he'd take some serious damage to his arm by hitting something at those speeds by my understanding. To be blunt, I thought about asking him to take more damage upon breaking his way out, but I felt what he'd done was enough during that scene. I feel that if he punched anything at Max speed he'd be liable to shatter every bone in his arm. The guy can't even breathe at those speeds.

I get your point, believe me I do. It's just trying to get that balance of power when one has several solid abilities.

And Override's character could actually stop Comet by feeding off of his energy, as well as any other character. If you have no energy, you won't be moving.

That's why I went with playing off of the 'day weakens him' gimmick he'd already provided. Reg may very well decide I limited him a bit much for all I know, hence why I've said Reg will finalize it. Also why I normally don't approve people period, when several times now I could have. I'd rather let Reg give that.

But out of the changes I requested, the only one I'm iffy on is the lasers. Do I realize it was a heavy limitation? Definitely. Reg and I talked for ages over Guilt. And we almost declined her. I could be remembering incorrectly, but I think I actually am the one who convinced us to approve her. Though I believe Red was already leaning that way. And we've essentially limited her more through the Clairvoyant interferences. Because as I've stated, she's easily the most OP person next to the High in the entire story at the moment.

The way I figured it was that since he always went the weakened during the day aspect, it would argue that his lasers would be more limited then as well.

I've actually messaged Reg over it with the suggestion that perhaps it could be limited a little less for the lasers at all times, but I'm not along Override to change it until Reg comes back online.

Like I said, I get where you're coming from. I get you're not trying to start stuff and all. I'm just incredibly terrible at explaining things, and an trying my best to make sure everyone understands where my Reasonings are coming from for the limitations.

If his only thing was lasers, I'd honestly probably have them be as powerful as Dragon's lightning and still give him healing at a crazy rate. The more diverse you are, the more you can do at a single time, the bigger the downside needs to be to level them out.

Honestly if Archangel wasn't weak to Iron there would've been issues there. Plus her moral standings limit her, to a degree, on how she can act with her abilities. You know how common Iron is, I assume? Adding those together limit her a fair deal in my mind.

Again, I feel like I sound like an ass writing this. I just hope my point that Reg will finalize that CS, whatever that entails, when he's active again.

All in all I feel everyone is pretty well in the same general power area, minus Phantom being on the low end. And Guilt and Archangel being on the high end.

I don't know that I've explained this properly.

My final note is that your suggestion for slower lasers instead of lacking power is definitely interesting, and I'll be bringing that idea up with Reg.

@Old Amsterdam

Remember to bring Cast Iron Pan to swat Archangel with.

Jeanne - Redemption

@Afro Samurai
@Override

As she remained steadfastly knelt before the altar, the ascetic paid no heed to the grumblings behind her at first. It seemed at least that the man had decided to come in to house himself from the weather, and she would not hinder him from such. His voice followed her, the harshness of slang upon each syllable causing her to cringe beneath the edge of her hood; but she said nothing concerning it. The two of them were from differing backgrounds; she would not judge him, for that was not under her discretion. That power rested within the vestments of one entity, and she was not Him.

Two things transpired first. First he asked what she was saying, and the second came in a sharply close procession. He inquired who someone was, and his voice was focused away from her. It meant that somehow, not on a Sunday but on a Thursday, there were people inside the church. She slowly stood and turned to face the distant newcomer, and at first she almost reacted violently; however, common sense and her composure caught her first.

The feathers of light had shone brighter for just a moment, but then faded to their usual state.

Before her stood a Devil.

Another rumble of thunder from the heavens overhead snapped her out of the sheer volume of surprise she held, and she finally stepped from her place before the altar. While she traversed the distance with effortless grace, the feathers she stepped over dissipated into nothingness, leaving a haunting, luminescent dust that whisked through the air. The bedeviled man was courteous, and more eloquent than the deliveryman, but she would address Terrell's question first. Since it was rather simple to do so.

Before her form, her hands folded together, and her rosary came wrapped around both sets of fingers in front of her. "Firstly, I apologize for assuming your status in wealth, and what I said was a prayer speaking to God, and what I plan to do in his name." She began with, before finishing such with a definitive satement. "It is a oath to God. Translated to English from Latin it states the following:" Her head bowed, and she clearly gave for the prayer once more, this time in a tongue the two of them would understand. "And a Shepherd I shall be For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, so that my feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So I shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

The Archangel lingered quietly then, with her head bowed pensively before the two. "It is an oath to fight to deliver us, and the city from evil. As long as the Lord sees fit for me to continue doing so."

"Yet, that does not matter. Not now." She expired a silence that hung heavily upon the air after a few moments longer. Her head tilted towards the Devil. "I know Terrell's name, and why he is here. What is your name, and why are you here? Are you in need of hope, or redemption? What can St. Peter and the Saints offer the both of you?"

@Feisty-Pants

Alright. He was gentle I think. xD

@Override

Quite so! Now just to wait for Afro to post, and then I'll jot something down.

Epic City: Starburst

@Feisty-Pants

So I am going to write a post for the church now.

@Override

Wunderbar! I look forward to writing a response!

Mind you, be gentle. She's praying at the altar. XD

@Afro Samurai

Posted again! Sorry I'm linking you here, but I accidentally posted first before linking you in the IC.

By the way folks, if you click the titles on each of my posts, you'll get to listen to some awesome music, which I used to write for the post. ^_^

Also, are my posts still satisfactory?

Jeanne - In the Rain

If the man before her could see beneath the edge of her hood, he would perceive a nonplussed expression as he rambled on about how this was indeed the proper place. However, when he commented on her rudeness, she acquiesced to such a thought. With her initial greeting perhaps she had been a touch too brash, and such would be amended. As for the food he held towards her, she raised a slender hand to dismiss it before turning around and began walking back into the church. There was a reason for this as he would soon find out; there was a flash and a ominous rumble that shook the very foundation of the earth.

A passing rainstorm, whose downpour soon covered the street in a thick sheet of rain and chilling winds.

"I deeply apologize for my improper behavior," She curtsied before him. "And feel free to find a reprieve in the halls of St. Peter." Jeanne began, her voice passing clearly through the air over the incessant drum of rain to his ears. "You are welcome to find shelter from the storm, Terrell." The further she talked, the further he would discern a slight Irish accent beneath it all, as if she perhaps had come from the Irish Slums of New York at one point or another. "But I cannot have the food you offer. To do such would be theft, and I would not dare violate one of the Lord's commandments."

She clutched tighter onto the rosary that dangled from the grasp of her right hand while the sunlight dimmed, obscured by the passing cover of clouds. "I recommend you wait for the storm to pass. And perhaps take a rite of confession if a Priest returns. Your vehicle is not safe in such conditions."

If he looked past her again, there would be light in the absence of the sun, as the stained glass no longer danced across the rows of pews and the carpet. As she walked towards the altar, there would be a wake of luminous feathers behind her. Each of them bright enough to drown out the flickering candlelight of the offering wax that lined the walls. The trail would create a wondrous light that cast away the shadows and the darkness within the church, highlighting the beautiful gothic architecture once more.

If Terrell decided to follow the ascetic, she would glance over her shoulder to him. Again so that only the long braid of her golden hair, the hood, and her lips were visible. "Is there anything you would like, other than to eat the food that you have brought? If you need drink, I can supply water. If you need food, the church has plenty for those like you, who are bereft with poverty. But I would not recommend eating the food in that bag. Refrain from sin while within the Lord's house."

Deciding to not leave a stranger in the Church, before the altar she knelt, and she resumed her prayers. Waiting for him to make his choice, as another touch of latin passed from between her lips. Clear and concise, echoing beautifully along the Church's walls.

"Et ego pastor est.
Tibi, Domine, ad te veniat.
De vultu tuo hódie descéndit potestate manus.
Cito ferre pedes meos ovantes.
Ita influunt flumen me egrediebatur ad te veniat.
Et loca feta animarum erit semper.
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen."

He's gotta wait for Reg to approve him, first.

But I second that motion. As soon as he's approved I practically demand he go to interact at the Church.

@Old Amsterdam

Oh I figured as much. I'm just teasing. ^^
