05/08/2010 [DMFA#1115] - The City of Zinvth

Wait! Could Abel's dream of Pip be a distorted form of warning on the subconscious level about the Soulstealer dinner Dan's going to?

That emblem sure could be mistaken in a dream state as Pip.

[terrycloth]

Why would he go berzerk talking about the Soulstealers? He *liked* the Soulstealers.

[Chairtastic]

Actually, we've only seen evidence he liked Kria, as far as I know.  How he views the others is still up in the air.

Hmm... good point...

Yes, yes Abel did like the Soulstealers.. and most of his happy pre-cubi awakening memories are from his time in Zinvth.

So why is he delivering this infodump to Dan as if he were reading it off wikipedia?

It's quite possible he doesn't like them now.  He's also acting like he doesn't want Dan to know anything about his youth, and which case this would be a sensible strategy.

That is a good point, still.. it would seem kinda strange if we don't see Some kind of reaction from Abel to the news that Kria and her family are still active.

[Pvblivs]

Yeah, Dan killed Aliph.  Even used the special incantation "No come back to life.  Stay dead.  No cookie."  And somehow he still came back.

What I want to know is how Abel learned Dan killed Aliph without also finding out that it has been a recurring phenomenon.

[Rafe]

"...the Mythos family Hiata and the Demon family Soulstealer..." 



Hiata!
I haven't heard that name in a while. 
What many people have forgotten is that, using the Beta-Capsule,
Hiata becomes... Ultraman!.



Just look here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYM5h_t6HvQ

[Chairtastic]

That memory had been successfully repressed, thank you.

Though, to be fair he could make a passable Mythos...

[Anker Steadfast]

Ok, that Ultraman bit is pretty bad, I'll grant you that, but I have seen worse.
As one of the commenters says, "It's like a really relay bad porno but without the porn".
Maybe Dan and Abel was watching something as bad as this and was caught in a "I can't believe it's this bad" kind of trap ?

Heck, Ambers monsters are more frightening than their monster pu-man, and her comic is PG-13!
If you want to know how scary it is, fast forward to 9:30 to 9:42,  where the monsters violent display makes one of the women faint in terror!!

... yes ... he shaked his tush!   

Not to mention that the hero swordmanship .. which is so bad he can't even stab the ground properly.
(which he fails at doing at 6:33 )


Ah well, at least they propably had fun making the movie, I guess that counts for something.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Anker, I'll admit to being slightly worried that you've watched it enough to be able to quote timestamps to the errors...

[Anker Steadfast]

I was very drunk the first time I watched it.
So I had to watch it again to make sure it wasn't just the booze telling me it was bad.

It wasn't.

It's good for a laugh though.

So me and my friends began to pick it apart, for fun.
Hence I know way more about it, than I ought to.

[Bjalf]

Anker, I'll admit to being slightly worried that you've watched it enough to be able to quote timestamps to the errors...

But when he later admits to a long list of horribly perverted fetishes, nobody's going to react. It's a great strategy.

"Never mind the sheep, he watched Barbariana!"

[Anker Steadfast]

Dangit Bjalf, stop revealing my strategies!

Besides, those were rubber sheep - Regular sheep just don't cut it, y'know ? 

[Bjalf]

Regular sheep just don't cut it, y'know ?  

I plead the fifth.

Edit:
And so do the sheep.

[Anker Steadfast]

I didn't know that sheeps had a constitutional criminal law that they could plead to!

Damn sheep!

Too
Much
Information...

*Continues catching up on posts...*

Damn sheep!

It can't be unlearned...

[Anker Steadfast]

No, no, no - It was just the right amount of information, I'm sure of it.
And it might be impossible to unlearn, but one can always forget.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

No, no, no - It was just the right amount of information, I'm sure of it.
And it might be impossible to unlearn, but one can always forget.

Forget that? I doubt it.

I'll just save it for blackmail material.

[Scow2]

They can at least try to bleat the fifth.... ;P

But anyway, back on topic... Seeing the Soulstealers in charge of the most socially-integrated society reveals a lot about them... Makes me think that perhaps Aliph Soulstealer, the dreaded Dark Pegasus, isn't really an evil villian, but instead an ubermensh believing the means of his evil plots (involving destroying at least one Fey, essentially a form of Deicide...) would be justified by the end result of the egalitarian utopia shared by beings and creatures of all types... Maybe the sacrifice of a fey would result in a power burst that leads to equalization of power-levels. The whole "Evil Plan to Resurrect the Dark God" thing was just a ruse to keep Dan shut up...
