HAZOU: *bursts into Oro's lab* "SNUNCLE RUN YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE"
Snowflake's crush.
It's not unknown. Off the top of my head, there's the orgy-that-nearly-was.
Well now I'm blushing. See what you did?! I'm blushing like a stinking schoolgirl!
There was an image that went around, maybe here and maybe on Discord, that showed two images side by side. One was a young boy saying "A Naruto quest? Cool! Let's go punch some bad dudes!" On the other side was a bunch of office workers gathered around a spreadsheet saying things like "Have we accounted for compound interest on the rice farm? What about the sewage projections?"
You know, it's kind of funny how our most profitable ventures were arms dealing to Nazis and an eugenics program.
It says a lot about the world. Both this and the real one.
Naw. Absolutely nothing to worry about on that front.
Wait, What!?
Can anyone explain to me why the physics don't let you go below ice? The only idea i have is that freezing water takes a lot more energy than lowering its temperature. But i don't know how to complete the thought.
Elemental Mastery has a limitation in that it doesn't stack: You can't cast the technique to bring down the temperature...say, 100C, and then recast it again to bring it down another 100C. But if you cast it to 0C (the freezing point of water) to make ice, and then take the ice and put it somewhere else (not being affected by EM), the ice will cool down the area to lower than what it would be normally. You can then 'cheat' the system by casting EM to reduce the (already reduced) temperature down below what your skill level would allow you to.
But both times Hazou didn't do it in the chapter.
Why can't you cool the ice to below 0 degrees C?
*shrugs* I'm not a physics major, I dunno. I'm just parroting eaglejarl who is smarter than me.
I suspect one of our physics majors will jump in and talk about supercooling or some edge case that I'm not aware of, but the basic case is that the temperature of a given area equalizes over time. To use an analogy that doesn't quite work but makes the point: Imagine you're averaging test scores together, and there's one test that you didn't show up for so you got a 0. It's going to bring your average down but not to below 0. Same with the ice -- it's going to bring the temperature down but not to below its own temperature.
I very much doubt that, but I appreciate the compliment.
[If you're referring to the acknowledgement of imperfect plans], Back during Isan, Hazou produced an unoptimized plan that Kei felt Hazou-pilot should have caught (which is arguable in either direction, but that's a separate topic). This led to Kei immediately drawing severe and drastic conclusions about Hazou's state of mind and lack of care regarding his family's well-being, storming out. This event had notable narrative consequences, one of which is that Hazou-pilot now feels a certain amount trepidation and anxiety regarding sanity-checks with Kei.
I mean why can't you have air at 0C. EM cool it to below 0C. use it to cool the ice to below 0. And then use the ice to cool the air below 0 C after the EM wears off. ?
Hazō has not tried this experiment but you're welcome to get it in a plan.
I'm still pretty sure that the various Shadow Clone names of Kei are not long term individual people any more than, say, Naruto's clones are. Kei and her Shadow Clones have a diverging mindset and memory but the Shadow Clones between each other do not. All in all we could win 14+ words here.
Personal opinion of why we apologize often largely stems from the fact that the playerbase is incredibly nice. As a general rule everyone here if very considerate and wants to make sure that they aren't accidentally giving offense or misinterpreting other people's arguments. This trickles down to our play style. Add on the fact that by and large the fact that in most cases we are conflict adverse. This leads us to being overly cautious in social situations in an attempt to avoid any friction long term between Hazou and the people he interacts with. Thus lots of preemptive apologies and taking blame that we might deserve.
I disagree. Crystal, Winterlight, and Scalpel are all vastly different from each other, and vastly different from Snowflake. Snowflake's character has merely had the most screentime to develop/grow --but (as I understand it) they're all independent people, merely beginning as a "fork" of Kei.
I doubt that Asuma would be willing to give away Leaf's Tailed Beast (Leaf's military might is simply too crippled for that right now). I'd also rather not have Hazou marry a random, unknown NPC for Military Power (Mari rule number 61: all power is interchangeable).
