"No no no, those wires are a tangled mess, what could possibly be the purpose of so many gears and radiators, this should be there, and that should be here, and what is this I don't even know"
The wires, aren't like... electrical wires, they are copper wires that pull things... xD
*Arthur is staring at a cube which consists of seven hundred and forty three gears which somehow functions as an engine of some sort, but there is no way that something so tiny can have someone turn one crank and then CRANKS ITSELF and whatever it is attached to*
Also... Just wait until you read about him actually assembling something... Melody and Arthur would probably have an aneurysm if they ever had to watch it...

Mel will be like
isn't that nice, they still make that stuff? I would have hope you would have ungraded to antique by now.
This is also going out to Magic By the way :D
I have got to say that I find both of your reactions amusing, I have made a hoverbike that runs only on clockwork... nothing else at all.
I can make miniscule tech. Each robot I create can create a robot similar to itself and half the size, Romulus just hasn't seen the purpose of making nano-tech, and probably never will... its alien to the way that he thinks...
Imagine clockwork nanites.... I just think in a manner that is different than you do.

"Freakin' magnets, how do they work?!"
*begins lecture voice "Magnets are objects that produce magnetic fields and attract metals like iron, nickel and cobalt. The magnetic field's lines of force exit the magnet from its north pole and enter its south pole. Permanent or hard magnets create their own magnetic field all the time. Temporary or soft magnets produce magnetic fields while in the presence of a magnetic field and for a short while after exiting the field. Electromagnets produce magnetic fields only when electricity travels through their wire coils.
By the 12th century, people had discovered that they could use lodestone to magnetize pieces of iron, creating a compass. Repeatedly rubbing lodestone along an iron needle in one direction magnetized the needle. It would then align itself in a north-south direction when suspended. Eventually, scientist William Gilbert explained that this north-south alignment of magnetized needles was due to the Earth behaving like an enormous magnet with north and south poles.A compass needle isn't nearly as strong as many of the permanent magnets used today. But the physical process that magnetizes compass needles and chunks of neodymium alloy is essentially the same. It relies on microscopic regions known as magnetic domains, which are part of the physical structure of ferromagnetic materials, like iron, cobalt and nickel. Each domain is essentially a tiny, self-contained magnet with a north and south pole. In an unmagnetized ferromagnetic material, each of the north poles points in a random direction. Magnetic domains that are oriented in opposite directions cancel one another out, so the material does not produce a net magnetic field.
In magnets, on the other hand, most or all of the magnetic domains point in the same direction. Rather than canceling one another out, the microscopic magnetic fields combine to create one large magnetic field. The more domains point in the same direction, the stronger the overall field. Each domain's magnetic field extends from its north pole into the south pole of the domain ahead of it.
This explains why breaking a magnet in half creates two smaller magnets with north and south poles. It also explains why opposite poles attract -- the field lines leave the north pole of one magnet and naturally enter the south pole of another, essentially creating one larger magnet. Like poles repel each other because their lines of force are traveling in opposite directions, clashing with each other rather than moving together.

Arthur, Mel left the class a while ago, but I am sure that post is lost, and unnoticed.
(I tend to get away with stuff when nobody notices I post doing things.)
I also have some thoughts on stuff going on right now but I rather not really go into any of it.
but I can say it is very difficult playing a character that is supposed to know so much, but as a player, I am totally clueless about just about everything.

Iolth .. did that ultrablast hit in the infirmary?
It just hit the ward he was in. Luckily, it wasn't massive enough to envelop the entire infirmary. But it tore up the place pretty bad.
MisterLurch |
Okay. Ultrablast is not like fireball. It is only a 15 foot radius. And it only affects brains.
So, end result is that at most, two rooms to either side of where Iolth is at were affected. I posted earlier what the infirmary looks like under Phaezeriel. Wearer, you are not looking at Iolth, nor is Mel as Iolth is in a private treatment room which would require a champion's ability to teleport to get into it without going through the door, which is currently locked and requires senior staff authorization to open.
The only people who are currently affected by the Ultrablast are Phaezeriel, Julie, and Kaetar.
Phaeze is hurt, Julie is dead, and I do not know about Kaetar.

......not to put too fine of a point on it, or anything, but really there isn't really any ward or lock on the place that can stop the wearer...
He did break into Aananda's fully locked, warded and protected lab, and it has been mentioned that he could have just as easily walked into the Hatchery, which is why Jiminy had to literally bend reality in order for the rest of the family to have piece of mind.... The wearer can sense psychic energy, become virtually undetectable, and is almost never fully in one place.... I wanted to do so in order to save at least nurse Julie's life.
The Wearer is a very skilled magician and infiltrator. Also, Nurse Julie was carrying the null-psychic thingie...
Nurse Julie |
the crystal was not activated, Nurse Julie has no idea on how to activate it.
she is only a young intern here after all.

I believe the point of his post (Mister Lurch's) just now was for Mel's benefit, not Wearer's.
I'm sure Mister Lurch can expand on this if I read it wrong, assuming Wearer was looking to help Mel, who wasn't in the room with Phaezeriel, but scouting.
As for saving Nurse Julie, well, that's different.

You are going to have to give me more info than that or have lyn tell me you can ignore the infirmary wards, DK.
Saying I can do it because I am a skilled whatever is not good enough. Also, is your detecting of psychic energy good enough to give you pinpoint teleport targeting into a shielded treatment room into which you cannot actually see? And is your teleporting so fast as to be able to interrupt a single action under those circumstances? Without more to go on than i am a skilled infiltrator and magician I cannot see how that is remotely possible.

I was there before melody, I've expressed interest in the past on Iolth, (though it admittedly was not in game) and scaring the s$!% out of melody would be a bonus. Mostly I wanted Iolth to not be put in the same pod as the virulent girl was kept
we all want certain things to happen. Or think it would be cool if they did. That does not mean they do.

okay, I'll try to explain.
My character is only quasi-real most of the time. The wards don't really detect him at all unless he has lethal intent or is doing something that really affects the school in a significant way. its a plot-based power type deal so that the wards don't track him and such, I got the okay from lynora a LOOOOOOONG time ago. anything that is tech-based, like radar screens, nanites, scanners and such don't ever detect him, up to and including the technology of the Culture, which is a different power of his
The Wearer of Masks could easily have sensed his psychic energy problem through the fact that it originated before he was in the shielded room, and could fairly simply concluded where they put him. He can do short distance hops (like a dimension door spell) at will. The Wearer is quite powerful, and I assumed that sense it seemed like a pulse... (as in it explodes from him in a physical manner) that if the wearer was in between the source and the destination that he could possibly save two lives by shunting the force wave into the shadow plane (where the rest of him is)

I was expecting Tarka to pop up with Lewis.
I had a plan for that. A funny one. :P
