I think the issue is that the Praexis Demons are too derp to understand that, and if you managed to explain it to them, they'd probably still just barrel at their targets mouth-first, because they're stupid and hungry.

IIRC we actually saw examples of them using assimilation.
OL prime is wanting to avoid assimilation when possible, probably due to ethical reasons and also to avoid freaking out his allies

While that may be; you used it in the sentence

Or, as I like to remember it:

Fair enough. I'll put it down to the SI not being familiar with real archery terminology and maybe slip in one of his archer-team mates correcting him later.

P.S. Speaking of 'urban fantasy', back on Valentine's Day OL and Zatanna had a business meeting with a gaming company. Did anything productive come from it? A product created or endorsed by a publically known superhero ought to have some degree of success simply because it was created or endorsed by a superhero.

Of course they didn't do anything with it, they're Games Workshop. A company that wouldn't know good business practice if it turned into a giant orange snake and swallowed them.

As to doing anything with the meeting... Let's see... 2011? Had White Dwarf already got rubbish by then? If not, they probably did a couple of pages on the meeting.

I'm not sure of your religious position when not only do you regularly meet your divinity in person, they mostly attempt to seduce you when it happens.

Eris only tried that once, and mostly to try and motivate him into doing something amusing.
Orange Constructs can also assimilate. They can use all ring functions.

Yes, but Praexis Demons are really bad at it.

Got any position a hypothetical Black Lantern SI could apply to? :D

Aaaaaahh?

Chubbs sends me a mental image of three people entering STAR Labs' reception area. A bit hard to tell as he doesn't process clothing images in a particularly Human way, but from what I can tell they seem to fit in. Ugh, I wish Teekl had been cooperating this morning. Her mental images are far clearer. I send him a 'keep watching but take no other action' instruction, but now he's set off my paranoia. Outside… The pavement seems a little busier, but I don't know how busy it usually gets during the lunch period.

Aaahh! Aaahh! Aaahh!

Oh, what is it shiiiit! Where there were three Humans there are now three hulking Demons.

Why do I get a feeling Chubbs knew (at least on some level) they were demons from the first "Aaahh?"? :)

"Tempting Fate is my project. Get your own."

Nice image. Also, Its.


This is a point most of the people in the League should internalize. Batman isn't paranoid, he just pays attention to the news.

Well, okay, he may also be paranoid, but he's still correct about it.

To quote Harry Dresden, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face."

Since you're on the subject of old plot points that never went anywhere (and forgive me if these were already been mentioned, but) did OL ever hear back from the Kult of Kobra? Also, what was the deal with Sally Sonic? It looked like you were going somewhere with that but that plot thread was just dropped.

"It really is." I just about manage to keep my face still. I saw red, but she doesn't..? It's just there, it isn't linked to anything. That doesn't make any sense! If I didn't know better I'd think it was getting piped into her from somewhere. "Say, I couldn't help overhearing you earlier. You said something about someone thinking that you're shallow?"

Yellow that time. I get a glimpse of a man's face and start running it through the ring's facial recognition program.

Is this the face of someone who lacks for dental coverage?

That looks like pretty good yellow to me. So, yes it is.

Back on topic, what do you think? >

Um.

Well I mean, They've met in person twice. It can't possibly be that obv...

Homecoming:
Mr Zoat said:
My eyes widen in surprise as she pulls my head down and mashes her lips against mine. She pulls back a little to judge my response, smiles wider at my shock and then leans back in, biting -Ow!- my lower lip before thrusting her tongue into my mouth. Okay, that's, um, hello? No, this is fine. Surprising, but-. Just as I start kissing back she pulls away, still grinning. "Oh you are so totally in."

Carpe Tempus:
Mr Zoat said:
I feel the arms go around my shoulders and a mouth pressed against my right ear. "Hey, Pavlos. How you been?"

I remain completely still in my seat, my eyes remaining trained on the Amazon actresses on the stage ahead of me. "Good afternoon, Seris. Pretty well, thanks."

"You never called."

"I read a book that said it was best not to be clingy. Besides, I can make my own good times."

"Mine are better." I feel her teeth graze the top of my right ear. "Taboo breakingly better."

"Can I assume from your presence here that you're in favour of this endeavour?"

And.. that's a tongue. O-kay..? "To be honest-" Slup. "-I'm not sure how to-" Tchp "-grade it." She moves her mouth away and nuzzles me. "In absolute terms it's a plane journey and a couple of theatre dates." Her left hand wanders up to my neck and the buttons of my shirt part company with the material, letting her slide it down my chest. "But in relative terms, this is the biggest change some of them have seen in their entire lifetimes."

It starts to become a pattern with these examples to draw from.

Knowing Mr Zoat it'll pop up again unexpectedly at some point.

Well it seems like Paul is gearing up to go off-planet, so... you know. If it's going to come up again it should probably happen soon.

Personally I assumed Zoat had plans for those, but the plans didn't work out and he quietly dropped the plot threads. I was just curious what his plan for them would have been.

Three times, although he didn't realize there was anything unusual about her the first time, or about the girl she was with.

Mr Zoat said:
I smile and give them a wave while Kon ignores them. A small girl in a blue dress holding a helium balloon waves back. I make eye contact and she grins and excitedly tries to get her mother's attention. She's a rather striking woman with a shaved head and apparently making her daughter happy is enough to earn me a smile from her too, even if she doesn't know who I am.

I kinda doubt that Zoat would write it so that OL has dealt with all major criminal organizations by the time he leaves Earth, leaving little for the Team to deal with.

*Fingers crossed*
I am hoping he sort of becomes an unintentional Demon Lord by assimilating the stray demon here and there until he has his own legion.

Zatanna: "Damnit Paul... You just had to didn't you?
OL: "Hey! It's not my fault the demons thought it was a good idea to pull me into Hell."
Zatanna: "You should have just left!"
OL: "They wouldn't open the gates... At that point it was just easier to clean up the place."
Zatanna: "You literally became Satan!"
OL: "No Satan is a person, technically I became the ruler of Hell, big difference."
