I love that it's not getting chased out of the bar by a pack of wild Thanagarians that Guy didn't believe; it's Paul going in to the bar in the first place.
 
That might be so, but Controllers did discuss the possibility of altering arcane constructs of lanterns (ie replacing their souls with orange light constructs like Paul has) to improve compatibility with orange light. It was discarded due to issues of how it wouldn't work on low thaumic worlds, but the Lord-of-X transformation rituals might still be viable paths. And in general arcane knowledge would be useful - at the very least scry wards (the soul based ones) should probably be incorporated / offered to the corps members or darkstars.

Oh I thought you meant the Maltusian glow affinity, never mind then. We were talking about two different things. So never mind then.

I was kinda sorta, and you are right, in this fic it does seem to come from the bacteria (speaking of - symbiotic bacteria; why can't other species be adapted / injected with those?). Lord-of-X ascension ritual seems to work on different principles, though in some respects provides the same results. It might even be possible to combine the two, really.

You know, I just Know that this will end with Diana gently telling Paul that, even in space, he shouldn't be going into bars before he turns 21.
 
"Diana, why would I follow US customs outside of the US? I am either Themysciran with no drinking age or British with a drinking age of 16 or 18, which I have passed."
"Paul, you and you friends primarily live in the United States. You should respect the customs of the land you live in, as I have learned."

"Also, you should set a better example for Conner, he is only a year old and you are probably the closest thing he has to a male role model who isn't an absentee gene donor or Batman."

You know, I'm still wondering when Paul is going to run into Lobo during his space adventure...though considering the way Paul tends to work, I'm kind of surprised that when he went after Vril that he didn't just hire the Main Man to bust him out of the place as it would have been simpler there.

Lobo is not the kind of person you hire for precision work like rescuing someone alive, I'm willing to guess, along with other issues.

They probably could be, if the Maltusians were looking to share their power. Honestly it would probably be a Paul project "Hey Genemorphs, I have some new DNA for you to play with."

And since Zoat made the Lord ritual tie a soul to another plane, and also established the plane of greed as a thing, making a lord of greed would certainly seem to be a theoretical possibility.

Lobo is someone you send when collateral damage is not only acceptable, but an objective in and off itself.

Even ignoring having to track down Lobo and hiring him, I sincerely doubt that Dox would have been charmed by someone who sends.....well, Lobo on a rescue op.
 
Well, that went about as expected. What was Paul expecting, bringing a guy who loves fighting and proving himself via fighting to a planet where visitors are encouraged to sign up for fighting pits?

No, that's how to be a powerful orange lantern 101. Being an effective orange lantern involves shepherding your desires so that you want to do the thing that's best in the long run instead of pursuing short-term desires.
Yeah, trying to be an effective orange Lantern by wanting things harder is like trying to be an effective general by making bigger bombs: useful in some instances, but not much of a grand strategy.

Either "are too diffuse", or replace the leading "and" with a comma and change "animate" to "animating".

I hadn't noticed this before... Did OL spend enough time with the Einherjar offscreen at some point to enable his ring to learn their language?

I think it's okay.

Partially, but Haraldson has also been studying modern languages.
