Make My Characters Talk To Each Other

[DanielH]

At least one, and depending on who you ask they need to be named characters.

The important part is not that any given movie fails (any given movie might have any number of valid excuses; if you’re making a film about WWII fighting and you want some historical accuracy you probably won’t have that many women), but that such a large percentage of “all media” fails.

If Quilt’s Kithabel and Milan’s Kithabel were to talk to each other, they would have several topics to cover. If they were only to talk about their respective relationships (and not their different momenta, or their different experiences with other worlds, or anything like that), that scene would not pass the Bechdel test. This thread, however, did, on the first page, or the second page if @holiestblood does not count as female.

Alicorn:
Mehitabel and Aslan, for obvious reasons

AndaisQ/Maggie:
AndaisQ’s YHWH and Maggie’s God, for also obvious reasons

As always tell me if my obvious reasons are less obvious outside my head, but in this case I really doubt it.

Also, I don’t think anybody had developed a method for extracting digits of pi from anywhere yet (even in binary, which I think was the first one developed), but I can believe some mathematical details develop differently in this world.

Ooh, and:
Alicorn:
Omnipotent!Kithabel and Plague-Of-Utopias!Ice, because they have similar MOs of “Go everywhere and fix everything, not just my one world which is already pretty good”

When's the sandbox set? There's this formula:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey%E2 ... fe_formula

It's probably the formula they're talking about? It says it was "discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe", but I'm not quite sure when the sandbox is set, so maybe it hadn't been developed by that time... It'd make sense that this would be a reason not to use e.g. "the 1,000,000th digit of pi" or something, as far as I can tell, you know, provided the sandbox is set after 1995.

[DanielH]

That formula works in hexadecimal (or binary or any power-of-two base). The earliest thing I found for decimal was from 2003, but I didn’t check very hard. In any case, I thought that was discovered after 1995.

That was probably discovered by the time the sandbox took place, but perhaps not widely known. In any case, knowing about that is good evidence that a similar formula probably exists for decimal even if that is not known, which makes the pi thing a bad test.

[Alicorn]

Aslan is not awake.

Ice and Kithabel, Simultaneously: "Oh, *that's* just cheating."

Ice: "Me? You're fucking omnipotent!"

Kithabel: "It doesn't help with information unless I've got something to grab onto! You have objective truth in your pocket!"

Ice: "Very well. Let us share."

Kithabel: "Twist my arm."

Mehitabel and Eve

[Alicorn]

Eve: "This metaphysics is pretty different. And you just got all the details just like that?"

Mehitabel: "Job requirement."

Eve: "Yeah, I guess I'm a couple rungs down. Maybe someday."

Mehitabel: "It looks like yours probably is spread thinner than mine. We've only got four worlds and a handful of species to worry about."

Eve: *nod*

If pedromvilar is willing to volunteer characters,
Glam and Kithabel, because their powers remind me of each other.

Edit: fix typo

[pedromvilar]

They do? Why?

(And sure, I guess I can volunteer them?)
