Pariah Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Elsa, Carrie, and Wesley may need more help. Fortunately, there's someone else at the school that might be of assistance. Sure, she's a little younger, but she arguable has better control over her powers than the other three.

death tribble Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Is it a bird ? No ! Is it a plane ? No ! Is wait, what ? It's a flying horse ? Yes, it's Pegasus ! Because Sir Galahad on a Pegasus looks cool ! Because it reminds you of The Black Knight in The Avengers only with the colours reversed or somehat. Because Phedre on Pegasus looks cool ! Because Pegasus is a Deus Ex Machina to help the story along ! Because now that you have the image of Galahad or Phedre on a Pegasus you'll be lulled into my shameless and underhanded attempt to attract votes for my story ! Excelsior ! Option 2: Pegasus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus As a means of travel, as a means of escape and as my last desperate attempt to win by playing the cute card (look a flying horse !

Tjack Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Isn’t it funny, nobody ever takes advantage of the air bombardment feature of the Pegasus. A horse flop coming at your head at 32 ft./per second squared could knock a man off his feet. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Final pick, Option #3. Let's face it: the real star of the Fellowship, and its leader until he goes down in Moria, is Gandalf. We have to cast him, too. Thing is, he's not a rube, even if everyone else around him is. He's immortal, he's something like an archangel under the sheets, etc. So another amusing stock goober won't work here. Especially if we want him to face the horrific Ballhog on the bridge of Spazzad-Doom and pronounce the corrupted meme-making "You shall not pass gas!" right before being pulled into the fantastic subterranean sewers when the Ballhog commits his final technical foul. So he's not a stock moron, but he can work with them for enhanced comedic effect. Who would fit that? Well, let's see ... if Elmer Fudd is your life-long nemesis ... oh yeah. We draft Bugs Bunny to fill the role of Gandalf in ... (Title:) THE TRAVESTY OF THE RING Lawnmower Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Option Number 1: Beth Harmon (The Queen's Gambit. Netflix) The University's mathematics professor and Chess Club sponsor, Beth looks surprisingly young for a woman in her mid-60s. Thus, she is another mystery the Chief seeks to solve. He believes her to be too preoccupied with her work, her avocation, and her intoxication to notice what he's up to. How shocked he was, when she walked into his office one day and asked him just what a Dalek was, and why were they planning to invade the Neitherlands, "wherever the flying f*** that is." Option Number 2: Miskatonic University (The Mythos, H.P. Lovecraft) What sort of institution of higher learning would accept someone with as checkered a history as Niles Caulder into its ranks? What was that Groucho Marx quote? Ah, yes . . . “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.” But it was the very "members" that drew in Niles like a moth to a flame . . . or a fly to a Venus flytrap. Option 3: "Mary Wardwell" (aka Lilith, Madame Satan) (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Netflix) Headmistress Wardwell has recently taken over affairs at Miskatonic U. She's asked Niles to do her just a few innocuous, if somewhat morally gray, favors in exchange for his tenure. And now the time has come for the big favor, for the big prize: An introduction to the Librarians of the Neitherlands. What will it be? Perhaps Niles will find out if he survives the oncoming Dalek onslaught. Perhaps that onslaught will present Niles the opportunity to reverse the power dynamic between himself and Madame Satan. If only he'd realized who he was dealing with going into this, things would be so much simpler . . . Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
