Topic: [Endbringer] False Alarm: There is no endbringer.
In: Boards ► United States ► New England ► Brockton Bay ► General
Brilliger (Original Poster) (Moderator: Protectorate Main)
Posted On Jan 30st 2011:

We apologize for the alarm everyone. There is no endbringer. Please disregard the sirens. You do not need to head to the shelters.

I repeat: You do not need to head to the shelters.

The PRT received confirmation from Lady Photon within minutes that the beam in the sky and the roar were caused by the independent hero and changer, Menagerie.

Please direct all further inquiries to [Lady Photon].

For everyone who's seeing this and confused as fuck, [this] is what Bril is talking about. I was recording my little sister's sweet sixteen when this shit happened. A massive roar, so loud that I couldn't hear anything else. Then a fucking beam that drilled a hole through cloud cover.

And then someone panicked and triggered the endbringer sirens I guess.

lol Yeah, we all heard it. But seriously, what the fuck, [Menagerie_Officia]?

Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

Didn't you hear? [Menagerie_Official] did something. Or became something. I've never been more scared. Aroused. Scaroused?

Is that a thing? It's a thing now.

Ehh, this is Brockton. Daddy can't afford therapy so raunchy cape-fics and furry porn are how I explore my sexuality.

Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

Okay, I'm here with updates. This comes straight from a phone call with [Lady Photon] so if you have any questions, send those her way.

As far as we know, Panacea and Menagerie went out on a date(?), or maybe to do hero things. Then Menagerie turned into whatever sounds like that and can shoot a laser that makes Purity look like an airsoft gun in comparison.

I'm sorry, I really don't know much beyond "Menagerie was fucking around," courtesy of Panacea. So [Panacea_Official] or [Menagerie_Official] want to chime in, that'd be neat.

►Brocktonite03 (Veteran Member)
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

Oh, wow... Was... Was Menagerie being a dumb teenager and trying to impress his girlfriend? Because, I'm willing to cut the guy some slack, but what the hell could have warranted that?

►Lady Photon (Verified Cape) (New Wave)
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

We don't know either [Brocktonite03]. We'll be sure to keep everyone posted, but I've been assured that there is no danger.

I wouldn't because I'm not a stupid teenager. Or dating one since we don't actually know how old Menagerie is.

►Feychick
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

So anyway, I saw [this] and took video. We now know what caused that roar. It's a 17 feet tall Godzilla-lite that's apparently called a tyranitar. Menagerie crossed the street carrying Panacea on his shoulder and it's both the cutest and most horrifying thing I've ever seen.

Seriously, he let me take a picture of his teeth. [They're fucking massive.]

►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

Well, for once, you guys are learning this at the same time I am.

Fun fact: The Simurgh is only 15 feet tall, making Menagerie officially "endbringer-height."

►Char
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

I don't think you know what "fun" means, [Bagrat]. That is not a fun fact. That is a pants-shittingly terrifying fact, no matter how smug Panacea looks on the dino.

►Valkyr (Wiki Warrior)
Replied On Jan 30st 2011:

So, I'm lost. I've been tearing my hair out trying to edit Menagerie's [wiki]. Then he pulls this shit.

So he is now officially Changer-YES with subratings in everything else set to "Probably, if he's bored enough."

If the PRT wants to chime in and offer an amateur some advice on your rating system, please, by all means.

►Reave (Verified PRT Agent)

Nah, you're about right, [Valkyr]. Our guys pretty much gave up too. We're just happy he's a hero.

Posted On Jan 31st 2011:

Hey, everyone!

I've been working on this as a side project of sorts and it's now ready for release. Introducing, [Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Legacy of Steel]!

Yeah, that's right, your favorite hero made a video game. It should be compatible with most PCs, but here are the minimum [system specs] you need to run it smoothly.

The game contains hundreds of pokemon with accurate typings, stats, abilities, and moves. Or, as accurate as I can make them in a videogame while preserving a good gameplay experience.

The main story follows the adventures of a buneary, [this thing], as she protects her home from an ever more dangerous group of pokemon, eventually uncovering a plot to awaken a Legendary Titan. I also did my best to include side quests and hidden bosses to give it a bit of replay value.

How much is it?

Free. This was a bit of a passion project anyway. Instead, please consider donating to [these charities]. I did my due diligence; they're good people, guys.

Enjoy!

PS: Any resemblance to people I may or may not have interacted with in real life are purely coincidental. I promise. Pinky swear.

PPS: Sorry I tried to blow up the sky. Teehee~

Point.

Also, I'm at the first side quest and it's beating a conjoined bird-thing called [doduo]. The bird is named Ulcer & Leek. Leek ate an everstone, whatever that is, and they can't evolve ever again so they're stuck in a life of mediocrity.

Menagerie is fucking savage.

►Divide
Replied On Jan 31st 2011:

Actually... As a free product, there aren't any royalties to claim, even if you can prove in court that you're the inspiration for Ulcer & Leek, this qualifies as defamation, and you have received measurable harm.

►Noveltry
Replied On Jan 31st 2011:

lol. That's never going to happen. This game isn't doing any harm that they haven't done to themselves already. "Measurable harm" implies they had a reputation worth keeping in the first place.

Replied On Jan 31st 2011:

Wow, not even a page and it's already turned into shitting on Uber and Leet somehow, huh?

To bring this back to topic, I found Gallant. I think. It's [Knightly the charcadet]. He's very chivalrous. And keeps creepily stalking Nike in a weird unrequited love.

I assume this is because Victoria is dating Dean Stansfield.

If you see yourself in some of these highly dysfunctional characters, perhaps that is your conscience trying to tell you something.

Okay, I got introduced to the first arc boss. It's [Kaiber the bisharp]. Who creates metal blades and stole Nike's hammer. Hookitty's here too.
