Re: A Call to... Arms - Page 127

The thirst for blue space elf romcom is strong. Any chance of just going the Light Novel route Arioch? Then use the sales money for an artist to do the comic, or rely on the LN sales to concentrate fully on a comic version. Interest in an animated series could spring from the LN alone. Do you want ...

Re: A Call to... Arms - Page 127

I don't care how you spin it, Alex having any relationship with a Loroi (female, presumably) risks way to much in terms of diplomatic relations with him specifically and with humanity in general. It is also massively unprofessional. I can see the *tension* being there, and an expression of feelings...

Aaaahh...how sweet. And the style is very similar to the original.

Re: A Call to... - Page 127

Well given Beryl's xenophilia wouldn't be safe to assume her romantic interests could be based on something different? Last time this came up I was able to turn up the text of the xenophilia disadvantage as defined in GURPS. I can't find it again, but from memory it was along the lines of you have ...

Re: A Call to... - Page 127

Well as to the presumed future avoidance of "romantic" developments that is a bit unrealistic but whatever. I've seen this sort of thing repeated a few times (that supposedly I said there will be no "romantic" relationship of any kind in the story), but I don't recall saying this and I can't find a...

Re: Character Discussion - Talon and Spiral

Since Talon is the senior pilot, and Spiral is the copilot, does it mean that Loroi usually put the pilot in the right-hand seat, and the co-pilot in the left-hand seat? Or do they not have a standard seating like human pilots do? The pilot in command normally sits in the right hand seat. As a care...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

How much time has passed between pages 119 and 124? Has Alex really assimilated the Loroi alphabet as quickly as it seems? I know - the story needs to move forward, but it seems really quick. CJSF Seems like only a few minutes. Even so, he is *very* smart and as Diodri said, Alex knows the language...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Though he might not be there when we do, would the Farseer be more disquieted by Alex's utter lack of telepathic presence than the rest of the Loroi because of her sensitivities? My personal bet is that they'd be thrilled . Finally, someone they can hang out with who isn't effectively shouting at t...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

This might have been discussed before, but other than having a dedicated Mizol minder, do Farseers have any other special sort of 'care and feeding' requirements? For example, due to their abilities, do they normally have to stay more isolated from other Loroi than usual or are they telepathically "...

Re: Page 126: Oh my~

Now here's another thought: Talon looking over her shoulder - "Everything alright back there?" - and seeing them in their current position or just righting themselves. I could just picture her dry wit in a comment like "Is that a continuation of the humanity greeting ritual you showed me earlier?"....

Re: Page 126: Oh my~

Alex is 19, so that would be a neat trick if he had a 14 year old daughter. :D Alex is 19?! 0_o I thought he was in his early twenties? I would have assumed so too. Officership usually requires a four-year college degree, meaning one would normally be commissioned at 22 or maybe 21 if they had a la...

Re: Page 126: Oh my~

hi hi Beryl is certainly professional, and shows an above average understanding of tact for a Loroi, but she does look like she's struggling to understand what is normal human behavior. I figure that this is, at very least, an opportunity to have more questions that she'll want answered eventually....

He's also a lot older than both of them. Just to clarify: Tempo is more than twice Alex's age. This may have been asked before but will the human dead from the Bellarmine be making any reappearances? Are they kept for study or have they been processed for burial/disposal? The human artifacts and sp...

Chekhov's buttocks... perfect. Write it into tvtropes!

Seriously though, nothing will probably come of it outside of light ship tease, but it's still fun to speculate.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Today I found myself wondering what would happen if Alex wore Fireblade's amplifier (probably because of a curious Beryl). In the Outsider-verse, would there be any way to bootstrap Human telepathy with technology? Do we have the biological hardware and just lack the ability to use it, or do we not ...

Re: Page 126: Oh my~

I'm going to call it now - Beryl thrashes a bit after landing as an instinctual reaction to being in sudden physical contact. Perhaps her thrashing even injures Alex (such as with an elbow to the chin). When she apologizes later, she explains that physical contact increases the telepathic connection...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Let's put the question to rest because now it is bugging even me (and I think that this has been asked before but can't for the life of me find it): How strong are the Loroi in physical terms? Matching their human counterparts, stronger, weaker that short of thing. I would expect for Loroi warriors...
