Have a happy new year, and may the next be better than the last (not likely, but one can dream...)!
 
@Kryslin

It seems strange and feels strange for taytay to dismiss what her power tells her (the eidolon thing) and not report it to anyone.... As far as she knows her power points her correctly, also eidolon is immune to thinker powers, so a thinker aspect of a power pointing at him should raise some flags in her head (if she knows about the immunity).

Maybe some more explaining and exposition could help make it feel less forced.


aside from that nice Chappie as always!
 
Yeah, I really hope Taylor takes that solution a bit more seriously on second thought. I'd think a lot less of her if she didn't. She knows what her power can do, not taking it seriously is kind of out of character for her, IMO.
 
I absolutely love the fact that Taylor got an image of 'punching Eidolon as hard as you can' when she pictured the target needed to stop the Endbringers.

The only question is, was that a bit of snarky humor on Kryslin's part, or a Chekov's Gun? With this troll of an author, we'll have to wait and see.

Honestly, I hope it was just played for laughs; getting rid of Behemoth @ Co that easily would be a bit of a let-down. Funny as hell, no question, but disappointing at the same time.

Let's try to look at it from her perspective. She's not even sixteen, has had her powers for a most a few weeks, and is still getting used to them. On top of that, she's bought into the PR that Cauldron has implemented; like 95% of the rest of Earth Bet, she believes that Eidolon is a Hero. To have her power suggest otherwise has her going 'Wait WHAT!?' at the moment, so she's setting it aside.

That's not to say that she won't be thinking about it on the side; she's got more than a bit of cognitive dissonance to get through first.
 
If it does happen, I'd imagine the grassman would be pinballing around similarly to Skidmark, maybe with David's shard causing dinging sounds and lights every time he hits something. WIth the last ricochet launching David towards Ziz.

Uh, Taylor was told, "as hard as you can". I'd figure Eidolon hitting lightspeed on his way out of the solar system, or whatever forcefield he put up getting shattered, and him getting turned into chunky salsa.
 
Kryslin said:
"Yeah," Taylor agreed. "Whenever the Endbringers attack, it's always a bad day." She had a brief but dizzying image of herself in full costume, standing in an apocalyptic wasteland, the sky red with fire and smoke, and the bodies of the Endbringers in a pile before her. And somewhere in her mind she heard a voice cry out "And it would be glorious!" before the rather incongruous sound of a large pan striking someone over the head.

I take QA would be the reasonable one here (with the frying pan)?

And did QA essentially narc on Eidolon with the 'punch him in the jaw' thought?

That wouldn't be funny though. Having the egotistical idiot pinballing around (doing little to no damage to the environment) for 20 minutes, then rocketing off to be dealt with by Ziz however...

"Mac and cheese," Dennis admitted. "Not the baked kind, but the kind you make on the stove top. It somehow exploded on me, butter and pasta and burnt cheese powder everywhere."

Sounds like that stovetop is gas, and he dumped the powder in, sloppily, before adding any water. Dust explosion - Wikipedia

The woman who set a pot of water on fire(metal pot, in the microwave, creating an induced current that separated the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Eventually, there was enough gas when there was a spark) would make a good cooking partner, if the goal were destruction and entertainment. There's a reason the first episode of each season of "Worst Cooks in America" can be so fun to watch. Note: that show isn't cruel or mocking. The goal really is to teach them enough to not be a menace in the kitchen. The first episode is to establish that, yes, they really are that bad.

That would be exceedingly odd, because all the instructions I've ever read on that particular form of macaroni and cheese dictate that you 1) boil the macaroni, 2) Remove from heat and drain, and only then 3) Return to pan, add milk, butter and cheese sauce powder. If he's got the cheese sauce powder out while the stove's running, either he's not reading the directions, or Earth Bet has some weird macaroni and cheese.
 
"Since violation of the Endbringer truce usually invites retribution from everyone else," Dennis shot back. "Last time something happened, the Slaughterhouse 9 paid the villain a visit. It went as well as you could imagine."

S9 enforcing the truce ?,is it an au thing ?

"Gesellschaft cape," Vista answered. "He's a blaster whose projected balls make you temporarily lose intelligence."

Yea, that could be problematic. It is not a direct master effect so it might affect Taylor...Juggernaut with Diminished faculties? Yea, collateral damage does not even begin to describe that shitshow. Taylor is one of the smarter, more adaptive and forward-thinking versions of Juggernaut, would the German cape just turn her into an average Cain Marko Juggernaut or a rampaging Avatar of Cyttorak?

I wasn't thinking so much of the pasta, though I have seen one where you make the cheese sauce then add the cooked pasta to it. It's unlikely to cause a dust explosion even then, but that's the one way I can think of to get an explosion from the process of making mac and cheese.
 
My preferred method is simple, and possibly even Dennis-proof: put the milk, butter and cheese powder in a bowl. Add the macaroni. Add just enough water to cover the pasta. Microwave for 9 minutes, 30 seconds.

Suggested possible substitutions - the milk, in addition to the taste, is an emulsifier. Ranch dressing will do the same thing, with a bit different flavor. Sour cream can also give it a bit different spin, substituting for either the butter or the milk.
