Open your book 3 beta EPUB and search for “mirror”.

I must be blind because I don’t see mention of Orcus’s father. Step-father may be Aetherius, but birth father (unless like it was like Dis)?[/quote]
You’re right, I was sure that it was revealed in the Memory Mirror scene, but it wasn’t.
Any interesting guesses? The Baroness of Chaos?
[quote=The Author Guy;5430]Well, the argument that Mikey was making before this was something akin to he is his own father. Or something a bit more complex.[/quote]
As an architect and a consultant, one of my key attributes is appearing more clever than I really am, so that people interpret my stupid screw-ups as some sort of inscrutable genius.
In the end, what people believe is more real, than what is.
[quote=Iume;5438]Wrong Kevin Smith. I mean this one: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0808963/%5B/quote%5D
What the hell? They made a movie out of Riverworld? And I haven’t seen it?
[quote=GameGraphix;5418]Well, Sentir Falon would make a good ‘payment’ from Tiernon and the 5S for ‘over-due’ storage fees for the containment of their parents in Tartarus…..[/quote]
Sentir Fallon is currently a massive liability for Tiernon, who would need to pay Tom for “disappearing” Sentir Fallon before any unpleasant questions would lead back to Tiernon.In The Big Kahuna’s world, when do you think Bob will see that Larry and Phil loved him, in their way, and tried to give him the best of what they had to give?
I don’t get how reviewers talk about how the movie was about industrial lubricant salesmen, or even religion, when it’s so clearly about love, friendship and the struggle of trying to be a better person, for your friends.
Reflecting to the Astlanverse at this time, Phaestus and Völund are the only involved characters who have enough self-confidence and the willingness to put some skin in the game, to teach Tom and Rupert these kinds of lessons. Of course I don’t know how you’ve planned the whole returning memories-thingy, and whether it’s only regarding tactical matters, or those kinds of memories have been returning because of the situation at hand.
To me it looks like something keeps popping out Orcus-shaped animus beings, the ones we know about starting from Dis and ending in Rupert.
Perhaps when gods have kids, they don’t so much create them, as make an Orcus-shaped impression/mold in the spacetime of the universe/multiverse, which then slowly fills with animus and mana, and out pops Orcus, Dis, Tom, Rupert, probably some others who didn’t make it.
Normally the patterns don’t produce immediate duplicates, except when somebody isn’t doing his intended job, or somebody else is screwing with the process. Or maybe Orcus’ mold is just particularly deep, for some reason. Maybe someone down there liked him enough to give it an extra shove. Perhaps Abyss is in need of a shakeup?
Maybe people who live long enough simply create those impressions in the spacetime, without the need of divine intercession.
Perhaps you also imprint a potential of your memories in the mold, and if your personality really happens to match your predecessor, you can access those easily enough.
I’ve always kind of imagined Talarius as Peter Facinelli in The Big Kahuna:

One wouldn’t expect the Tribunal to be quite so happy-go-lucky in matters of intelligence gathering, as the 5S seem to be.
This is what I want to see below the end credits when the series ends, Talarius singing Sondheim’s Now You Know in drag:

TALARIUS:
All right, now you know:
Life is crummy.
Well, now you know.I mean, big surprise:
People love you and tell you lies.
Bricks can fall out of clear blue skies.
Put your dimple down,
Now you know.Okay, there you go —
Learn to live with it,
Now you know.It’s called flowers wilt,
It’s called apples rot,
It’s called thieves get rich and saints get shot,
It’s called God don’t answer prayers a lot,
Okay, now you know.Okay, now you know,
Now forget it.
Don’t fall apart at the seams.
It’s called letting go your illusions,
And don’t confuse them with dreams.Yes sir, quite a blow —
Don’t regret it,
And don’t let’s go to extremes.
It’s called what’s your choice?
It’s called count to ten.
It’s called burn your bridges, start again.
You should burn them every now and then
Or you’ll never grow!Because now you grow.
That’s the killer, is
Now you grow.You’re right, nothing’s fair,
And it’s all a plot,
And tomorrow doesn’t look so hot —
Right, you better look at what you’ve got:
Over here, hello?
Okay, now you know,
Right?[quote=The Author Guy;5232]I’ve also put some other feelers out there for Tom, including Zelda and Tamarin, but to date, not feeling it. I’m starting to feel like a dating service….D’Harmony or something like that.[/quote]
That’s the problem with Tom currently being such a contradiction of young and powerful. He wouldn’t want to get it on with a subordinate, but finding an equal would be a bit difficult. As he embraces the concept of long-term continuity and decides on what his take of Orcus will be, it’ll be easier for him to relate to his new society. On those levels, and with his returning memories, the relationships he might have would likely be less about puppy love, and more about friendship, and working towards common goals.[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtcQW8xdTWA[/youtube]
Do teenage demons have D’ormones coursing through their animus towards their D’ick?
(This question was sent in by an audience member who had seen Antefalken’s balling of the final battle, Rod Member Richard “Tip” Wang.)
Or more seriously, from whence do animus-beings get their emotional impetus, with no glands. D’glands?
Since Lenamare recreated Stoivenychas’s work, and there are no coincidences…?
Wouldn’t too strong wards cut their area off from the universe and potentially start the collapse of its false vacuum towards a stabler state now suddenly possible? Wouldn’t this be something the inhabitants of the universe would like to discourage? Perhaps Stainsberry even take an interest?
About the missing D’Orcs… could they still be inside the Doomalogues, but in suspended animation to generate mana for the force fields that keep Net’s people out? Maybe Dis as well, and he was recently killed by a power surge?
