Update to my previous post

While going through the archives of the webcomic in which mmsophia appears, I happened to notice these two pages, in which Lorelei's friend Leo Bowman is given an engine for his truck that "seems to regulate energy drawn from the quantum fluctuations in 'empty' space... forming an almost unlimited source of energy

Dear Diggy Small,

I love you like a brother, you know that.

BUT.

Call me fictional again, and phenomenal cosmic powers or not, you and I are going to dance. Definitively.

Sincerely,
Strong Bad

Sorry about that, Strong Bad. I didn't mean it in a bad way. You're at least as real as I am, possibly more so. You have fans all over the net, after all, while the fandom for the games about my world is small and pathetic. To quote aberranteyes quoting your "friend" Homestar, "I wasn't twying to step to you ow anything. We'we still cool?" 8-)

9_9 Yeah, Diggy, you and Stwong Bad awe still cool. Flattery'll getcha a lot'a places, and one'a them's back in my good graces.

And notice, pretty soon after that adventure, there was an adventure in which various dimensions/universes/branes (take your pick) were criss-crossing...maybe you're right, one had something to do with the other.

And of COURSE I'm fictional. Even SCHROEDER believes I'm fictional. That's one of the luxuries on having a staff and breastplate that can alter memories and implant suggestions.

I've worked pretty hard to make sure everybody believes I'm fictional.

I was thinking more of the possibility that "your world" (wherever it is) is going to get an increase of superhumans. Though I may be assuming too much. On my Earth, Inspiration was partly the result of a genetic anomaly, eventually found in the "junk" DNA, which was triggered by "telluric" (zero-point) energy. Whether those particular genes are still lying dormant in baseline humanity around these parts, expressing only rarely, waiting for something to awaken them en masse... that remains to be seen (as aberranteyes is wont to say, "That's a factual question").

I have the advantage in that the fiction about me (a series of role-playing games using approximately the same rule-set) was established in this universe before I got here and is relatively obscure. If I introduced myself as Michael Donighal, very few people will recognize that name as the one Divis Mal was born under, and most of those wouldn't believe it unless they saw me using my powers. (Though I do have to wonder how Bates and his cohorts learned of Æon. Did max_a_mercer take a jaunt into this

There have been a few more extranormals---Forceful, Moodswing---you may have a point.

[md_donighal]

I thought so. I've seen it happen in my own universe, after all, and we're hardly alone in that. As seen from (apparently) fictional examples such as the universes of DC and Marvel, the introduction of one post-human to a world will inevitably lead to others appearing. According to aberranteyes, Alan Moore had a character in an issue of Miracleman state it as a universal constant. (That raises the question of who the earliest in my universe was, but I can cover that in another post.)

Are we playing with the fourth wall again? If you're not careful, it'll break.

[md_donighal]

And would this be a bad thing in itself, or only in that it would bring the wrath of the PPC down on us?

I would fear the Multidimensional Order of ©, dread ninja-laywer servents of the Trademark Lords.

[md_donighal]

...Well, that's a point of view. Have fun!

((Love the song btw...*Grins* Ever seen the video?))

[aberranteyes]

((Regretly, no, or at least, not recently enough to remember it. Vague images of people in black and white costumes, but that's about it and could be something else entirely.))

((Wish I could find the video it has such a pulp film noir feel to it...))
