Sandbox Discussions

Promise's anti-Master precautions would have worked against Chelasi too, but she wouldn't have snapped out of it afterwards, because Chelasi's results had more inertia.

[DanielH]

I agree with Ezra.

What exactly did Promise have Yellow order her? If that was mentioned I don’t remember it.

[Alicorn]

I didn't put it onscreen, as a "Promise is better at this than I am" precaution, but fragments of the orders appeared in narration when she first encountered Glory Girl and when she was fighting Cherish.

[Ezra]

I didn't pick up either time that those were orders and not just thoughts. If it comes up again, could we have a clearer indication?

[Alicorn]

Maybe. I like the tone of doing it this way, but I might find a way to clarify without wrecking it.

[DanielH]

I eventually picked up on it the time with Cherish, but not Glory Girl. I think that simply italicizing the parenthetical orders would be enough to distinguish them as orders, without changing the tone much.

[Alicorn]

Italics I can do.

[Ezra]

Panacea and Promise start with P, so the only one left out of that theme is Glory Girl / Aura. But if the P names were too short-supplied, the Victoria clones could have gone with G names or A names, and then she wouldn't have been left out.

Finally catching up on this sandbox and omg Promise interacting with the human world is So Great. New OTP: Promise/the internet.

Also Canary is a Cute and Amy needs a hug.

[DanielH]

She just said that she would prefer not to be shipped, and you go and ship her with who she told that to.

I do kinda agree, though.
