Hmm, depending on how closely Darkseid was monitoring his cults activities after telling them to target OL Paul might have just become a priority target.

Apparent immunity to Anti-Life is the stuff of Darkseids nightmares and he'd want to find a way around that as soon as possible.

Only there are actually a lot of people with bits of that? Anyone else who holds part of the Anti-Life has that protection, and The Life Equation is sort of suppose to be an answer to Anti-Life. Actually, if Anti-Life and Black Light are one, then The Life Equation and White Light are also probably one, which probably makes Orange Enlightenment holding one of the variables that make The White.
 
@Mr Zoat - Are these songs in your regular playlist, or do you seek them out from folk song websites to match the instance? If they're in your regular playlist could you share that with us?
Does this work?
Enlightenment has uses.
Also, Darkseid went to Grayven when he was at his lowest ebb. The SI is pretty fine here.
Is that part I arrowed meant to say 'That it son?' Not sure. Looks janky.
No, that's what he said.

No, the Anti-Life Equation is basically a corrupted and evil form of the Black Light of Death, which is a neutral force that's rather easily twisted to awful purposes. The White Light of Life is also neutral (parasites and flesh-eating bacteria are alive too), even though it's a far more positive force and just as easily used for good purposes as black is for bad ones.
 
Did'nt zoat say paul would at one point do something really metaphsycially impressive, that involved saying "no, your wrong"? I think that may have just been it, or at least a precursor to it.
 
"Not sure, but it doesn't look too healthy. Any joy?"
Seems out of place here.
"And now you. What exact-?"

Ah. Darn.

I lift her body off the wall, pick up the statue and follow Alan out of the building.
Surprised OL didn't notice that sooner.

Seems like Alan can do something similar to Orange Brand with blue light, likely makes targets so hopeful that they feel no need not to comply.
 
"She's been getting more talkative the longer I wear her. Should I be worried?"

"Not unless she turns yellow. Fear isn't useful without a yellow ring."

So, funny jape or more signs of OL's twisted utilitarian outlook?

Hm. Maybe destructive and creative? With both being able to be misused?
 
'Any joy' is this context means 'have you been met with any success'.
The people who started using the word 'joy' for success chose it in part because it is a very short sound that is relatively easily understood, so long as there is sufficient context in common between the speaker and their audience. That sort of 'you know what I mean' assumption can be a gesture of trust, kinship, or some other aspect of shared effort and purpose.

The people who continue to use it generally fall into three categories:
  • Those who also appreciate brevity
  • Those who wish to signal alignment or association with the badasses they've heard use the word
  • Those who are inclined to go with the flow without knowing what's going on and frequently behave in ways that do not fit the mood or theme of the situation they're in.

"An-ee" has two syllables and slows things down. Perhaps consider "Got joy?" or even "No joy?" though the later would want for some other changes such that doubt is more fitting to the speaking character.

EDIT: In the narrative of written fiction and the modern oral history of American soldiers, the term is often used sardonically, specifically with regard to the goals of snipers, assassins, gunships, and the like. In this way, it is not a best-fit for an idealistic superhero or, from what I understand, a Blue Lantern. So even if you fix anything else, this slang may seem out of place to readers who are familiar with its arguably common use.

I mean, good, evil and neutral are all pretty subjective, but I'd consider death to be pretty negative (and, were it sentient in reality, 'evil'). Not universally so, there are some circumstances where death would be the better alternative, but often enough that I wouldn't exactly call it 'neutral', at least as far as fully conscious beings are concerned. On Life, you've got more of a point, IMO; a lot of the bad forms of Life are bad because they cause death, which is as much on the Black as it is on White, but others are bad because they cause suffering, which probably falls under White.

Part of what I've liked about the whole black and white lanterns thing is that the white light seems to be in part a rejection of the neutrality and necessity of death, as far as sentient beings go at least. Not having read the source material though, I can't say how much that's the case in canon.
 
........... Now I'm wondering how Larfleeze would be affected by anti-life.

Volthoom wasn't able to make anything stick. Larfleeze would still react with MINE regardless of how his past/present changed.
 
Enlightenment has uses.

Rennegade chose God hood which as upgrades go is pretty solid all rounder, but when it comes for mental defenses enlightment is top tier.

For all around game play pick god hood, its more useful for the day to day stuff, but if your looking to kick Darksides crap in then pick enlightment for all of your eldritch horror needs.

While it's true that I'm an undeniable badass who not only appreciates brevity, but thoroughly enjoys participating in it, in all possible things, it may be that I, in point of fact, in view of your aforementioned statement, do in fact use it having come across it culturally. I say culturally as my mother and father use it as, my uncles and aunts used it, people I met while developing used it, and now, so do I.

Sure, but you appear to be Australian. And you and your former masters in Britain have convinced the rest of the world that you have no idealistic heroes, only scoundrels.

I kid, of course. I meant the word 'generally' in its legit sense. That is, I acknowledge that there are exceptions.

I'll also acknowledge here that I may be flat out wrong. But that ain't clear neither.
