01/01/2011 [PF #151] - He's off to a good start

[Garsemor]

Note the sarcasm in the title.

Every time I see Jakob whit those sunglasses I always think of Wesker from resident evil. Also good thinking on Renwards part, where better to hide than in the body of a guard-bot.

[Tapewolf]

There is a reason I wanted to get this out before 2011 ;-)

[Fixed typo in title]

I like matching up what's being said on the television too whats being said in this discussion.

I swear that if he puts on a fur coat and warm fuzzy slippers on his current body a will laugh. Maybe that's reason enough to get him out of that body before they all walk into a room while he's doing something ridiculous.

[Madmann135]

Wils does have a point.  If he is found out to still be alive that can cause all sorts of problems.  BUT he is goofing off playing with the feral panther body and has to grow up sooner or later.

The thing is that Jakob was mailed that bullet.

So his fear might be for good reasons for his reasoning, but in actuality him ending up with a new body might have been the point in the first place.

Just who was that guy? I almost want to blame Dayril for being on the news at the same time as the other report. But putting a soul sucking bullet in someones head would probably even make him squeamish.

[Captain]

Screw anthromorphism, being a panther way better !

*immediately whines about not being a panther for no reason*

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

On the other hand, does Wils know that his new android head is also bulletproof?

[Gabi]

It may be bulletproof, but it's far from indestructible, not to mention there are ways to kill in Furrae without even damaging the body.

[Turnsky]

depends on the size of the bullet. 

[LionHeart]

You know, I can see Wils staying in the panther body, and operating the android one by remote control. That would give him the best of both worlds, plus he could use it as a decoy in case of further assassination attempts.

Imagine - an assassin shoots the android body:

Assassin: "There, that's the end of Renward Wils."

Wils: "Guess again."

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It may be bulletproof, but it's far from indestructible, not to mention there are ways to kill in Furrae without even damaging the body.

The same applies to his current body, though.

Okay, okay. I don't recall JC testing the android heads with a Barrett .50...

... although that'd be pretty cool, given the weapon is anti-materiel.

Of course. Hence why he doesn't want people to know it's him.

Psh... what if the assassin happens to be a creature... i'm pretty sure a demon could shoulder a man-portable 20mm anti-tank rifle, if not larger ...  just think of the destructive potential of creatures and firearms when you bring enhanced strength into the picture

[LionHeart]

I suspect most Creatures would regard firearms as too sissy for them...

[ChaosMageX]

However, that begs the question: Can angel/demon skin or cubi wings be bulletproof if the creature with it concentrates hard enough to make it so?

It's mentioned that cubi of the Taun clan have indestructible wings.  Does that mean that their wings could stand up to even to heaviest anti-armor or anti-aircraft rounds?  Could they withstand blasts from a high powered multi watt laser?

Well, one can make an educated guess that their indestructibility was never tested against firearms, since there probably were not any on Furrae until a relatively recent period of time, so who knows?..

It is extremely improbable that the bullet containing Wils soul got mailed to the one place where Wils would get a new body, by coincidence.   And the assassin knows that he preserved Wils soul, so Wils argument doesn't actually hold water.

Unless whoever mailed the bullet -knew- what Jakob really does and -wanted- Wils to get a new body, for whatever mysterious reason...

[joshofspam]

Ah, Then again there are more problems then just him being killed again by one lone assassin if people find out he is still alive.

He would be an equivalent of a android undead and those pesky creating new life laws still sound in affect here.

So who do you think he should really fear? Someone who killed him in the first place or the unwashed masses of the torch and pitchfork carrying mob?

Maybe he should be fearing another bullet to the a little less then the possibility of being dismantled because he shouldn't be alive. Its definitely be intersting how Daryil's clan lawyers change that ruling for the android bodies. Will they use a standard all typed up arguement or use something like that old spice commercial? Heck! I wouldn't be surprised if Daryil represented himself in court for any time he went before a Judge.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

...

See, now I have a mental image of Daryil.

"Hello gentlemen. Look at your man, now back at me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he married people, he could be here in jail like me. Look down, look up, where are you? You're in a park with the man your man could be like. What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with asparagus. I don't need it, but you might later. Look again, the oyster is now an android. Anything is possible when your man looks like me. We're on a beach."

At which point, the court looks up and discovers that everyone is on a beach in the Bahamas. And Daryil is making eyes at the bailiff...


*cough*

That's the 2nd time I've seen that ad parodied on this subforum. And I'd never seen the ad until I saw it linked to from here. Which is probably a good thing, because the ad itself was quite ridiculous and only good for parodies.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I don't believe I saw it, or at least, not that I recall, before the last time it was posted here in this subforum.

Of course, now I can't get rid of it, and, as you so rightly attest, it's quite ridiculous and only useful for parodying.


... having said that, I do believe that Daryil would make an _excellent_ Old Spice Man. And not just because, well, anything is possible...

[Tapewolf]

Good news, an early update.  Bad news, it's filler because Ren has caught the Dreaded Lurgi.
