Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

Sir Tyaethe Radistirin


"By rushing in when there's trolls around like you can take on an army," was the paladin's blunt summary, undoing the fastenings for the wounded knights armour with remarkable deftness given that she was still caked in blood. It was sticky enough already and starting to dry... maybe she should go find Tiral; the mage might know a spell to create some water. If she could learn it enough to copy or at least enough to fail explosively, she could just blast it all right off. Much easier than having somebody try to come along and scrape it off later.

With the threat nullified, the duellist slowly picked her way across the battlefield towards Fanilly. Watching from the outskirts, it was easier to work out that something had been very off about the whole situation--magic that orcs had no business throwing around was only the start of it. From beginning to end, the fight was wrong in the first place... not so much the outcome or their opposition's lack of tactics, nor the number of trolls. No, for orc bands this was all a fairly standard approach. What became clear when you had time to think about it was much more insidious than that--

"Captain, if I might speak? Although we have not had time to ascertain the details in full due to the suddenness of this battle, it seems beyond the pale for such a large band to gather with trolls and yet attract no attention. Travellers and the like are all known to report such things before they make their way to major settlements, and as such a defence can be mounted in time. Orcs simply cannot reach so close to the capital so quietly without assistance."
Doing that solves the issue of trying to sell tech in the first place, and it's a lot easier to handwave something like a program because NONE of us are going to be staring at source code for this RP to make sure it works.


Is that a challenge? >:D
A working fusion reactor is possible, just prohibitively huge.
Ah, so not disobeying the second law, just basic maths. Pretty normal for soft science fiction. XD
Reactors take fuel and produce energy. Once the energy has been produced, it would take more energy than you get reusable energy out to convert it to its initial state (some other reactor might be able to use its waste products, however). Except in the event that it has a vastly lower consumption than a larger reactor--which would make it produce orders of magnitude less, comparatively, and generally less efficient--a smaller fuel source will run out faster than a larger one.

If it doesn't need refuelling, what you've created is a perpetual motion machine, which is impossible. :P
Second Law of Thermodynamics generally implies that miniaturised reactors would need absurd levels of refuelling when doing anything remotely power-intensive even with perfect efficiency, though I'm not perfectly sure why that's relevant.

"Why doesn't he paste himself because of inertia" is more in line with physics nonsense going on.
Yeah, but that's not the only tech-based lunacy here. So...
Minami Hotaru


People were around? But... she'd been held back and had expected the hall to clear out by now... this was so embarrassing, she'd thought that everything would be clear and that only Nana would be around to hear something like that. Now she was blushing, though that didn't last long in the face of Mina's inexplicable declaration. Gobble them up? That wasn't possible, there was no way that her mouth was big enough for such a thing!

Nana found herself freed from Hotaru's clutches,a s the girl decided that the best way to deal with her embarrassment was to strike back at the obvious source, pointing dramatically and displaying her immense talent for witty repartee: "No eating Nana!"
Well all this was out of proportion.
I don't know the anime this is based on, but having another fight almost immediately after the previous one ended almost solely for the sake of a contrived fight--and it would be contrived, seeing as it's a city with 100,000,000 people in and pretty damn big, so circumstances aren't forcing it--is tiring because it gets in the way of getting to work out what the plot is. The previous fights served a purpose by introducing the soldiers, but another long fight right now would just be gratuitous. And unlike anime, we can't cover it with good animation.
