Ravana Quest [Exalted/Aberrant]

[X] "Uh, look, not everyone coming out of those pods is necessarily friendly, yeah? Double check and just leg it if you have to." (Just a warning)
[X] Yellow Trishula 5000000 with white highlights. (3x. High end super-flashy sports car. Fits 2 (Badly). Very fast. Very good handling. Anti-grav engines can double as wheels for specialist situations. Very, very noticeable.)

Look, for those still unsure.

A motorbike does not have much space for controls. But a car? A car has an entire dashboard.

People. We could once again have, not just one Awesome switch, but an entire panel of switches, dials and levers that don't do anything and are labelled entirely with things like "Awesome" "Bit Of Both" "The Crowds Go Wild", etc.

Can you really pass this up?

Tragically Ravana is not Jamelia or Henriette and thus can't just randomly improvjse the existence of buttons on the car.

Nevertheless, it's a good choice.

I recall that joke getting run into the ground like Blando. :p

Besides, the bike fits two in a much better way that the car.

[X] "I think an exalt crashed that prison-station. They're, uh, pretty obviously dangerous. Try to keep out of the way and tell me where they are if you can." (Most of the truth)

[X]Jiangshi Hoverbike. (2.6x. High end flashy hoverbike. Fits 2 (Sexily). Fast. Very, very good handling. Very noticeable. Surprisingly well armored.)

Actually, given he has Greedy Gawping Grip and its expansion, he can.

Sure, they'll be buttons made of biomechanical infested nanotumour-flesh which are actually teeth and they won't actually do anything because he's already physically fused with the vehicle, controls it as part of his body and thus looks like a new Infested boss, but they're certainly buttons! Or in extreme cases, he can pull a tongue-lever.

an exalt is the difference between a crazy man with a knife and a giant tank giving them a warning without mentioning it would be worse then useless.

An Exaltation is the difference between a crazy man rushing a supertank with a knife and the tank going "we're doomed".
Hey, Havocfett, I remember a brief mention of Tachikoma technology. Are sentient spider tanks a thing here? Besides Godblooded, at least.

If I'm to be honest?

The "Awesome" switch was fun as a one-time gag, but it wore out its welcome very quickly, it's unsuited to a shiny new vehicle as opposed to an old and personalized claptrap, and I feel like it's time for something new - even if you want to keep the same basic Megas XLR visual of the gag.

Just a thought.

Yeah, fair enough.

Though dude, @Winged One, too soon. :p

Vote closed, gonna update...probably after I finish my neuropsych final. Which is, btw, an incredibly dull class.

Edit: Also you may be getting a bonus Interlude on account of @Aleph writing Jailhouse Rock for me.

It would take another act of a god to make Ravana not take the sweetest ride available. Going inadvisably fast in the hottest car he can steal is what Ravana does.

EDIT: Damn it! Took too long at reading it!
 
Dammit, my alert broke and I missed the vote. Oh well.

The other ride had "Sexily" in the description. I think that trumps it!

Thanks! I do (genuinely) prefer to know stuff you guys think didn't work/didn't like/think was problematic for whatever reason.

Sorry. The next couple votes will have noticeably longer vote+stunt time limits, if that's any consolation.

Vote tally!

[X] "There's...well, it's a long story. There's a sheridan out there, an exalted sheridan. I think they crashed the station and I need to speak with them. Try to keep out of their way, but if you know where they are, tell me." (Basically everything you know)

[X] Yellow Trishula 5000000 with white highlights. (3x. High end super-flashy sports car. Fits 2 (Badly). Very fast. Very good handling. Anti-grav engines can double as wheels for specialist situations. Very, very noticeable.)

10*3=30

[X] Jiangshi Hoverbike. (2.6x. High end flashy hoverbike. Fits 2 (Sexily). Fast. Very, very good handling. Very noticeable. Surprisingly well armored.)

8*2.6=20.8

INFERIOR OPTIONS:

0. As it should be.

So, it's Trishula+Most of the Truth. Sweet.
 
I'm going to be honest, whenever I hear the word 'sheridan', I don't think of lethal murderers who have embraced the dread-powers of Adorjan, the Silent-Wind. But rather I think of a bunch of Insurance Sales men who are aggressively pushing their services on the unwilling.

Technically, it's a general name for demons who descend from Adorjan, though presumably here it's been expanded to refer to those who follow her philosophy as well - those followers in particular may also be known as crimson bodhisattvas.

True, and I knew that already. Well the Adorajn's souls being called that anyway.

But it's still funny.
 
Well, the car won't be able to do as many stunts as the bike could, but at least its raw speed will help us get places quickly until the Scourge teaches us how to go really fast.

Yeah, let's not bring up talk of exalts and demons, kay?

There is a silence from Surpanakha in his head. "You are so full of shit," she says eventually, sounding almost impressed.

Draupadi just stares.

"Bitch, you just jealous of my Super-Exalt swagger." says Ravana.
