Reading My Enemy, My Ally. Vastly in love with Ael t'Rllaillieu (even
if I can't write her name without reference), and even more in love with
Ael's interactions with Spock. At this rate, will end up doing a mixed_muses post that's all Diane Duane, all the time -- Sunspark,
Ael, Nita, Carmela, and I don't know, the Lone Power or something thrown in
to round it out. (Where would one find a PB for a book-canon female Romulan,
though? Or would one just do some clever cropping to hide the ears? . . .)

*snickers*

But who's going to do the handcuffing?

[adiva_calandia]

Nit--?

. . .

. . . Val? *weakly*

[lienne.livejournal.com]

*snrrrrrk*

[adiva_calandia]

I can see her doing that for the hell of it. C'mon.

(Nita would not because if Nita ever comes across the Lone Power in the bar she'll end up celled for breaking the "no old business" rule and the "no violence" rule.)

I dunno; I'm pretty sure Val is a little wary of Chainsaw...

...actually, it depends which Val.













velvet_fangs would do it in three seconds flat.

But, uh, I'm not sure I want Peahen to meet the Lone One. It would feel a little too Sueish. XD

[adiva_calandia]

That's fair. *still giggling*

[lienne.livejournal.com]

I am torn, because it would also be tremendously fun.

And I mean, Peahen is from a plot where I got kidnapped and experimented on by mad scientists and then pursued a tragically short career in the superheroing business. If she's gonna be a Sue, she's kind of already there. XD

What do you think?

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

*gigglefits*

I think she's pretty much already there, yes.

[lienne.livejournal.com]

Well, I do try to keep her reasonable. It is easier with mad_patron, who is at least not a Downsider.

Put like that, though, it wouldn't hurt to send Peahen to the Lone One for a chat. Following which she would definitely handcuff It to Chainsaw for kicks.

[lienne.livejournal.com]

....Actually, hang on.

How do you feel about the Lone Power getting canon-punctured?

'Cause Peahen will try not to be too meta, but she has read the books.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

I don't anticipate a problem with that.

[lienne.livejournal.com]

ahaha what.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

Surely you don't think a little thing like hearing my exploits are written down will faze me. They're already recorded in some form on every planet and world I've visited, after all. And you can rest assured I'm there in Mz. Duane's world.

[velvet-fangs.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's try to put the meta on a slightly more even footing here.

It's not really the written-down part that gets to most people, hon. It's the idea that somebody else made you up. You and your entire universe and everyone in it.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

I know I'm real. I'm the realest thing there is.

[velvet-fangs.livejournal.com]

No shit, Sherlock. And so am I, and so's Downside. I've been there long enough to be pretty sure of that.

"Realest thing there is", though? What's the scope of that statement, exactly?

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

The Universe. *bone-dry* As some young acquaintances of mine would say, "Duh."

[velvet-fangs.livejournal.com]

There's more than one universe, and you're not in all of them.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yet.

[velvet-fangs.livejournal.com]

I'm a Downsider, honey.

You and your whole depressing bitch of a universe can blow me.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Because your little universe is so much less depressing? Oh, I know I don't have a foothold there, thanks to your upstairs help. But you created a playground that even I admire.

Your pet power tool, for instance -- I can't thank you enough for the pain and terror and misery he's caused here.

[velvet-fangs.livejournal.com]

Pain and terror and misery? Chainsaw?

C'mon. Really. If you're gonna get on my case for a Downsider, pick Jazz, who actually doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Chainsaw helps more than he hurts by a long shot.

[mm-adiva.livejournal.com]

Here? You might ask one Will Graham about that. *grins* Or several, for that matter. Or that Irishman. That was a lovely piece of work, I must say -- even if the boy does pull through and make it out of here alive, it'll be years before he recovers from that particular violation. And he'll take it out on others. Have no doubt about that.

Besides, in the larger picture -- and I do prefer the larger picture -- Chainsaw's been inflicting pain and terror and misery on Downsiders for longer than some planets have had life.
