Welcome Back to the Guild

I'm a little stuck for ideas as to where Muse and the others should go next.

Feel free to offer suggestions.

Welcome Back to the Guild

“You don’t know…” GM echoed silently, looking down at the floor. “YOU DON’T KNOW?!?!” he roared, eyes locked onto Leon again as a katana materialized in his hand. “So you just decide to fuck around with my computer, fuck around with my Basilix… for no good fucking reason?!” he exclaimed. “Why did I ever even think… that I’d want you around?!?” he screamed, before thrashing away in pure anger, hacking Leon’s torso nearly into pieces between each deep, powerful strike of his sword. The boy didn’t last long. Blood pouring out of him, he was dead almost instantly.

Panting, GM tossed his bloody weapon to the side, still catching his breath as a swivel chair materialized beneath him to fall backwards onto. He started to calm down as he lazily propelled himself around with his legs, inching back towards his computer. Once it was in front of his feet, he laid his hand out, palm facing upwards, and raised his arm. With it, a desk came up out of the ground, lifting his computer to eye level. He turned the holo-screen off, instead pulling the laptop screen upright to use normally. He sighed, pulling up his web browser and looking through his bookmarks. “I wonder…” he mused, glancing down at the sleeping lizard on his floor. His cursor hovered for a long time over a bookmark he’d labeled “the real Data Spell”, before finally he shook his head, closing out of his bookmarks and instead pulling up something else. He scrolled down the page, beginning to browse. “I wonder how much of this is still viable…” he hummed to himself.

Then, GM heard a light ‘thud’, and, hearing it, he jumped, quickly spinning around in shock as his feet perched on top of the swivel chair. “WAI, WHAT’S GOING O- oh.” he started to scream, but he stopped himself when he realized it was just Leon who’d suddenly appeared in his hideaway. It was then he remembered that Leon was automatically set to respawn whenever killed. “Oh yeeaaaah that’s why I decided to keep you around…” he sighed, no longer feeling enraged enough to kill the kid permanently.

MK nodded, stepping into the makeshift elevator as a song had been chosen from inside the Guild consciousness, probably one that many of the Guild members immediately thought of when the heard the term “elevator music”.

Once they reached the ground, MK Ultra seemed ready to just allow Callum to lead the way, before his ears perked up, and he started looking around in every direction, as if looking for something he couldn’t see.

ALSO in case it wasn't clear, I suppose I should make sure you're familiar with the idea that Pokemon games are often sold as "twins" as I often call them. It basically means that you'll have two games that are almost exactly the same with only a few differences (usually just involving which Pokemon you can capture, and even then, only a handful of species are different between the two). So for example when I say to get "Firered/Leafgreen" I don't mean you should get both, but rather pick one.

For sake of simplicity, I'll just recommend that you go with whichever one you like the box art for the most.

OH WHICH REMINDS ME I'd also recommend Emerald if you want to play through a storyline similar to that of the recently released Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.

So my top recommendations are Emerald, Firered/Leafgreen and Heartgold/Soulsilver, in no particular order...

I got a new TARDIS shirt. And a whole crap ton of owl and music stuff plus GIFT CARDS!!! Also which Pokemon game should I ABSOLUTELY start with cause I want to know before I go insane with buying stuff on Amazon.

:D

Well like I said, I recommend either Firered/Leafgreen or Heartgold/Soulsilver, depends on whether you'd rather try a Gameboy or DS game.

Feel free to look back at older posts for more in-depth recommendations from Gwazi and I.

Santa Claus... meets Inception... meets Alien... because that's something Doctor Who needed.

SRSLY THO

What sort of fucked up writer thinks to himself "Hmm, I have the most terrifying idea for an alien that I've come up with since the Weeping Angels. You know when the best time to use these would be? Christmas." Seriously what the fuck.

Disclaimer: Despite the tone of this rant, though, I did really like this episode.

ALSO the fucking Christmas crackers... too much. D,: I mean... he grabbed her hand, the same way she grabbed his hand... back when he... in the... with the thing... and... and...!



But OH MY GOD the very very end though. That was like... woah. Now that's a Christmas present. I mean... Moffat had been saying for so long now that Clara would be leaving after the Christmas special, so like... when he offered to have her back on the TARDIS again at the end I sort of had that exact same reaction to that moment in Day of the Doctor when Eleven was all like "hey let's just not destroy Gallifrey" where I was all like "...Wait what really? This is happening? What?" and then sure enough they confirmed it at the end saying that Clara would be back next season. Ooooohhhhh my god. The fact that such a Christmas surprise could have even been given in this Internet age just amazes me and I'm so glad it happened. :D

Yea that seems majority Matt Smith and David Tennant. :PBut I can't find a timey wimey quote... :(

Which is surprising, now that you mention it. :/ I mean looking closely I saw that they used "box falls out of the sky, man falls out of the box, man eats fish custard. And look at you, just sitting there!" twice. One of those could've totally been replaced with the timey-wimey quote.

Nice. Are there any on there about Jelly babies. Bowties or Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff?Speaking of Bowties, I got my second Bowtie now too. :3

The quotes look like they're mostly from Eleven's era (though I saw a few from Ten!), so no jelly babies, but bow ties for sure!

That's probably the case then... and Whoovians should be signing a petition to bring back Valeyard. :PAlso, look what I'll be waking up to now! <3

XD That's awesome.

I got a Doctor Who t-shirt with a bunch of quotes on it all assembled into the shape of the TARDIS.

That... Actually does sound really cool. :PAnd I do think its a decent possibility for Capaldi if they claimed there was going to be more time lords.I just hope they didn't pull/cancel Valeyard because of negative fan reactions or something. :/

I mean you're right though that it could work well for Capaldi. Especially with that whole "am I a good man" running theme. But like... yeeaaah still terrifying. XD It would be a good terrifying but... yeah.

As for why they never brought the Valeyard back, it was probably just because the series was cancelled only a couple years later. *shrugs*

Who/What's Valeyard?

I need to save that.

BUT ANYWHO, VALEYARD:

Classic spoilers

The Valeyard was essentially an evil duplicate of the Doctor. Which... sounds kind of lame at face value, but holy shit that's just a terrifying idea when you think about it. It's like... the Doctor is already scary when he wants to be. And now he's evil. Welp that's something!

It probably helps that he didn't look exactly the same as the Doctor, either. He was sort of described as a "splintered regeneration", so he looked no more like the Doctor than any of his previous regenerations did. This allowed him to keep his identity hidden for quite a while before it was revealed just Who he was (hehe). Also, when he was revealed, the Master teamed up with the Doctor in order to defeat him, because his logic was basically along the lines of "If only one of the two survive, the Valeyard will wipe the floor with me, but the Doctor I at least stand a chance against in the future." So um... yeah he's pretty damn powerful.

Also interesting to note is that, during the climax of that episode, the Doctor and the Master had seemingly destroyed the Valeyard. However, at the very end, it was revealed that the Valeyard survived, in a rather "dun dun dunnn!" sort of fashion. However, despite pointing out to us that the Valeyard was still alive, implying that he would later return, he actually never did. He hasn't been seen in another episode since.

Also it was implied (sort of... honestly they never explained it well) that the Valeyard was sort of created either at the end of the Doctor's regeneration cycle, or after it, implying that he'd broken the 13 lives rule, which somehow resulted in the Valeyard's creation. This, plus the fact that Moffat kept hinting at the possibility of more Time Lords being in Capaldi's era, as well as the show becoming more like the Classics, all led me to believe that the Valeyard's return was a strong possibility. o.o
