I apologies, it seems me, @UmbraLamia and @Talkingtaco follow each other on topics and cause chaos. I fear my account every day incase it gets banned xD

What I’d love to see in the next update is how damaging our powers can be to us if we overuse them, I noticed in the fight with Stray my character got a super sharp pain from using it too much.

I adore Vine, she is my favourite so far. She’s like a friend Phoenix trusts, although she’s aware Vine probably tells Troy and Nathan what I’m up to (she’s an informant after all.) I still feel she will be a supportive character later on. Also because of the MC suspecting she’s schizophrenic and made me wonder if it’s because of her powers since she ā€˜talks’ to plants. I can see her going off the rails at some point

One I dislike? I’m not sure anymore, I’m liking Troy because of the tense rivalry between us and nobody has done anything that touched a nerve yet.

There is a scene I really like, it was when Phoenix murdered the thugs. I don’t mean in a ā€˜HAHAHAHA YES. BLOOD. BLOOOOOD.’ sort of way, it’s how her speech installed absolute terror into her victims. I want more evil and sadistic speeches like that.

I just realised something, why does your Vine like Phoenix. She could incinerate Vine’s friends at any random moment.

Ah, don’t worries XD As long as it does not go down the hill it is alright ^^

I try to get that part in as well :slightly_smiling:
It is not always easy (especially not when you have a cat on your lap that turns every minute…) though otherwise I will think of a way ^^

It is funny to see how Vine is either a big plus for someone or rather an annoyance/someone you do not trust. When I first had her in mind, she was just a simple informant for the heroes, though look where she stands now…

And to the last part…
I hope to add something like this in the following update as well, though as I am not one who is speaking sadisticly normally and sometimes I am just sitting here and think ā€˜What would XY say in such a situation?’

EDIT: For everyone else, there are only a few more hours to go before the contest closes.

@UmbraLamia another reason why Phoenix can risk becoming close to her, if Vine ever thinks of betraying her, fire powers have a huge advantage over plants.

Vine could play the part of a hero losing it at some point since her personality is so unstable. We all need a loose cannon every now and then.

Is it weird that I’m incredibly excited for the contest results?

Phoenix is like, bananas as shit, man.

Best part? Phoenix IS mentally unstable too :wink: She did name her guns after butts after all.

That’s not unstable just childish.

Oh, I dunno… even kids probably wouldnĀ“t name a gun after their crack line.
TheyĀ“d come up with stuff like ā€œpain bringerā€ or ā€œDeath gunā€.
Anyyyyywwaay… @Nekumura as of now… how many favorites do you have on the contest…?
@UmbraLamia Okay? I didn“t remember if she had mentioned it before, and I didn“t wanna go through the +1000 posts to find out.

I think she mentioned this before, don’t ask. :unamused:

I think she mentioned a week ago that she had a favourite closely followed by another character.

Because her mind is still that of a 15 year old and most of her life she grew to resent her parents, she’s very childish too. It’s why she hates Troy, because he replaced her.

Techinally a mind of a 16 year old. And I guess even then she should have some maturity.

She mentioned that she won’t say at least until the thing ends.

Oh I see, I guess IĀ“ll just have to… wait… this is gonna be a long day…

@Nekumura are you going to announce the winner in this Thread or are you just going to PM the winner?

Okay, I just came back from shopping, so I will tell you guys a bit.

First off, I have a few favorites by now.
4 in total to be direct. Who they are, I won’t tell, though all of them have different abilities.
The original 2 are still in there (with original 2 I mean the 2 that were my favorites from last time)

In around 6-7 hours I will announce the winner on this thread, and you guys will all know who the winner is and who the runner-ups were. I might be inclined to add one or two of the runner-ups in the story as a side mission, we will see. After all, we still have our mercenary job or you might have heard of them from somewhere else when you are a freelancer.

And now, I am going to make something to eat and then I will continue writing.

That must be the most casual set of entrances and exits on this site.
