Given that you do nothing but try to murder my characters your outrage is hypocritically at best when I'm using a power I have just to make your character leave.

secondly I call bs about you ignoring her power arch, EX is off the scale, you can't simply ignore it even if you could resist it, which again servants are hard pressed to resist so jack should not be able to.

[Alice]

...I think that's a bit overpowered, honestly. Especially since it basically forces our characters to do as you wish them to do unless they have some sort of supernaturally strong innate resistance to it (Tom might be able to shake it off for instance. When it takes a psychic of that power level to shake that off though, something's wrong).

Honestly, this might be another situation where we need a GM ruling. Let's just see what Elf has to say about this. Especially since Lancer's going to want to try and stop the kitchen from being wrecked yet again.

[Bloble]

Waaaaaaaait a minute.

Hold up. This shit is big.

.....is Tom a Pokemon?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Waaaaaaaait a minute.

Hold up. This shit is big.

.....is Tom a Pokemon?

Well, yeah.

[Alice]

...I did that good of a job at hiding it? O_O Yay, I can do subtlety!

He's mewtwo in human form, basically. A very pretty, very attractive, glasses moe sporting human form. For all intents and purposes right now, though, he's human right down to his genetics with a few odd supernatural quirks.

The transformation between his two forms is kinda like Jack's Protean in a way, only Tom has only two transformations, his human form and his "true" form. He can also stay in either form indefinitely.

He can change back at forth at will, but pretty much the human one is the default for the moment, since it keeps the scientists away. It's also his only form for any and all smut related activities. Because otherwise, ew. It's also his weaker form. ...Be afraid. 

[Bloble]

I'm sorry, but I just won't be able to take him seriously for a while. Nothing against your writing, as it's been excellent so far, but...

A fucking pokemon. This is almost as hard to swallow as that one MLP/FSN fic.

[Alice]

...M-my writing's been good? Yaaaaay, I'm really happy to hear that!

And... yeeeaaah, I can't say I blame ya, honestly. ^_^" Honestly, I wouldn't do something that silly normally, but there were a lot of concepts in there that I liked, so... it just sort of happened. Especially since I normally wouldn't touch the Pokemon franchise at all for something like this.

But yeah, I was honestly blushing the whole time I was pitching the initial idea to Elf over Skype. I kid you not. I think we both had our initial doubts about it (yes, even me, and it was my idea), but it's worked surprisingly well I think. Hopefully my writing keeps being good enough to take the edge off of that some.

Also, Lantz - Jack isn't his actual name. Its just a nickname. So that power is not at full power, and then there's jack's fantastic mental resistance.

I'd say he'd be able to shrug it off.

EDIT: Oh, and "Rin" still hasn't answered his question regarding her father in law. What the fuck was that about?

[Alice]

....Bllaaaahhh, and now all my initial embarrassment is rushing back in a tidal wave.

You guys still think it'll be OK?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

You've done great so far!

[Bloble]

Hey, at least Tom ain't from a kinky fetish porn game for dudes who like their girls with scales and cat ears. Compared to Luka, pretty much anything's tame. Besides, it isn't how silly your character sounds on paper, but how you write them, and so far you've been doing a good job.

[Alice]

Awwwwww. Thank you very much, guys.

...If there's one thing I've come to understand about myself in recent years, it's that I'm the master of two specific mediums. One may very well be moe. The other is excessive worrying. You can probably make a pretty good guess which one tends to pop up more often for me.

As for Luka, from what I've seen, you've been doing a fine job with him, so I guess this all goes to show the power of how good execution of a concept can be its saving grace. Even the silliest of concepts can become excellent if carried out really well.

[Daiki]

I feel bad for Finn.

Dude had finally raised a flag and then... Oh well.

[Cherry Lover]

Jack just made a good point here -

Kiyoshi shouldn't think of this Rin as family, or "Sakura" or "Taiga."

They're not from his universe. They should be subtly wrong. Scars in the wrong places, expressions and actions and body language that he shouldn't recognize, especially with Rin, as he KNOWS HER. She isn't acting, speaking, or even communicating like his Rin.

Think the invasion of the pod people, that's how Kiyoshi should be feeling about her.

That's not how Kiyoshi sees it, though. He is aware of the existence of alternate dimensions, and he's also aware that being seperated from someone for most of your life doesn't prevent them being family (as with Rin and Sakura prior to HF). As far as he's concerned as long as they don't act completely different or treat him like shit they're family.

Also, did you guys not get the bit where I asked you not to keep running off ahead of me and not letting me have a chance to respond to things? It's starting to get really fucking annoying now, because I never get to damn well react to stuff because you guys do three posts whilst I'm in bed....

[Aiden]

And then Bloble made something insane. Oh this should be fun.

... and I see this place exploded yet again while I slept. Joy.
