"So, how exactly does Dalek Time Travel work?"
"VERY WELL, THANK YOU!"
In practice it doesn't matter much; without a power ring or other superpower/supertech/magic gold's a lot less available. Modern refinement techniques are more efficient than those used by Io, but they can't refine gold that isn't there.Scientific instruments use 99.999% pure gold, although it is obviously used in much less quantity than more industrially used gold.
Partly because she's his ex.Sandman. An author held the Muse Calliope prisoner and repeatedly forced himself on her in order to gain literary inspiration. Dream of the Endless found out that this was going on and WAS NOT AMUSED.
One of Gaiman's Sandman stories. Click Callipso's name for the link.
Neil Gaiman's Sandman
Spoiler below on what happens:
A writer named Erasmus Fry captured Calliope and regularly raped her and kept her around for inspiration. Another author, (I forget the name) buys the object containing Calliope and did something I don't really remember

Dude got his in the end. The Endless tend to get... let's go with inventive when mortals piss them off. And imprisonment is one of Dream's hot buttons.Urk
Seriously? I mean, I knew Sandman was like Hellblazer and part of the darker comics - Vertigo right? - but DAMN that's the sort of shit Constantine puts up with. As Villains.

Even if the Endless didn't get him, given the way the metaphysics of this setting works it seems like there's a good chance his actions would give the Olympian gods at least some jurisdiction over his soul, like what happened with the Khandaqi gods and Theodore Adam. Doing something like that is really playing with fire, even outside of how disgusting it is.Dude got his in the end. The Endless tend to get... let's go with inventive when mortals piss them off.

Even more so in this timeline, now that a guy who literally knows one's number and the address of two others is taking an interest. And the Olympians are no slouches themselves when it comes to "inventive" punishments.
No, no, he's got a point. If she starts revering the Omnissiah, she may fall out of favor with Hephy.
....you wouldn't happen to have a source on that, would you?
Wouldn't Hephestus simply be another aspect of the Great Maker?No, no, he's got a point. If she starts revering the Omnissiah, she may fall out of favor with Hephy.
Nah, the Machine Cult is basically technopaganism on GRIMDARK. Last I checked, Hellenism isn't that animistic.Wouldn't Hephestus simply be another aspect of the Great Maker?
Well it's a good thing that Paul has anti-scry wards then. Don't know if they'd actually stand up to one of those seven... but they seem to work on Eris and other gods so who knows?Besides, it's Desire. S/he never just lets things go once they've got hir interest. It's kind of a defining characteristic.
The Endless are several tiers above petty elementals, so I wouldn't bet on it.Well it's a good thing that Paul has anti-scry wards then. Don't know if they'd actually stand up to one of those seven... but they seem to work on Eris and other gods so who knows?
Thank you, corrected.
I'm not sure how much their "tier" matters. It's not a matter of brute force after all, but of stealthiness.The Endless are several tiers above petty elementals, so I wouldn't bet on it.
Those things were originally designed to hide a succubus from the entirety of both Heaven and Hell.The Endless are several tiers above petty elementals, so I wouldn't bet on it.
Given their obviously similar metaphysical affiliation, it occurs to me there's a good chance that Desire could just ask the Ophidian about OL and she'd tell him everything about her awesome new little buddy.Of course it is possible to get around them by, for example, just personally keeping tabs on him at all times using non-magical means so he can never slip away from you. Like, for example, the Ophidian does. Or having metaphysical superiority over someone who's already doing that so you can just use their taps. Like, for example, Desire does.
