TIME TO ROC N' ROLL

jng2058 posted:

Yeah, but Mottom only did that because she was following Allison. If Allison had gone home to Earth, say, Mottom would have blown the doors off Earth's gate instead. Mammon's poo poo got wrecked because of decisions Allison made. Indeed, she did go in there planning to wreck as much of Mammon's peace as she needed to in order to free Zaid. That she had a change of heart when she learned that Zaid wasn't there and saw how pitiable Mammon had become didn't change her original decision to invade his home.

Mottom was less following Allison and more going to where she had sent her. It was a break first, ask questions later kind of deal. Once Allison pissed off Mottom, Mammon's poo poo would have been wrecked regardless of where Allison had gone.

Part if Solomon's thing is his Unchanging Form, so making him bleed is probably a bigger deal than going to the barber. He's not just tough, he's The Diamond.

Yeah, I don't recall Mottom directly following Allison, her appearance smashing her floating debauch-o-drome into the Vault of Yre was just one of those coincidences that aren't coincidences when you're dealing with that much Royalty.

She went to where she (correctly) suspected Allison would be, after all Mottom was the one who told her that Zaid would be there.

So do you think Mottom had informants tell her Allison was in the vault, or did she happens to show up at the right moment by an (un)fortunate coincidence?

Mottom told Allison where Zaid was, so she already knew where to find her. She assumed that if she sent Allison to him that Mammon, being a hoarder, would hoard her.

My quibble is that Allison clearly took some time to put her team together, and Mottom wouldn't have known when Al would move on Yre. If Mottom had arrived an hour earlier or later the entire situation would have been disrupted... and Mottom wasn't looking for Allison when she arrived. None of this is a coincidence, because nothing is ever a coincidence.

Mottom never even saw Allison and pretty much immediately got distracted by bondage nun wrasslin, that was probably like the fifth or sixth place that day she'd crashed her ride into and then started fighting whoever was inside

also it's a story made up by a guy and the laws of what makes for efficient and interesting storytelling are stronger than physics

drat right, and as it should be. I wasn't quoting Unsong to signify a complaint.

I just think Mottom was coming for the Dragon regardless of what Al did, because she's lost one of her major sources of power.

She didn't specifically intend to attack Yre, it's just that flying cities are surprisingly difficult to steer.

Mottom and Mammon are going to start fighting, break some rule, and Solomon's going to go nuclear. He explodes one of them (probably Mammon), shattering the peace utterly. Jadis manages to get everyone involved to agree to a contest instead of overt hostilities. Solomon agrees because he likes contests, and Mottom agrees because she just saw Mammon get exploded.

Now Solomon's usual tournament is literally a front for the next universal war. Jadis is the game host, and 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe is the announcer.

Joe Slowboat posted:

Now I want to K6BD-ify various parables and stories so that the lessons learned are... not quite the same as intended:

A farmer died and split his land and savings equally between his two sons. However the older brother was far stronger and more violent than the younger, and beat him and took all the inheritance for himself- save for a single tree seed and a young calf, which he allowed the younger brother to take with him in banishment.

The younger brother traveled in shame, and met a wandering monk. He begged the monk to train in the ways of the Art, so he could prove himself greater than his brother and avenge his honor. The monk replied that the younger brother must first condition his body, so as to be able to withstand the destructive forces of the Art. He instructed the younger brother to plant the seed on top of a mountain, and every day to climb that mountain, and leap over the sapling, all while carrying the calf. The monk would return when the younger brother was ready.

For years, and then decades, the younger brother did as instructed- even as the calf grew into a great ox the size of a house and the sapling into a mighty oak a league high. One morning, the monk returned, and gazed upon the younger brother, now broad-shouldered, with muscles hewed more finely than granite. The monk said he would train the younger brother in the Art, and his first lesson was:

"When aspiring to greatness, the least important aspect is the ascent."

This was also the younger brother's last lesson, and the monk declared his training complete, and bade him farewell. The younger brother was shocked, and confused, but nonetheless he gathered up his ox-companion upon his shoulders, and set off to return to his old home.

In the years since, the elder brother had grown complacent. His muscles turned to fat, and his mind concerned more with pleasing his wife, and providing for his children, than with violence. He considered how best to divide his land and savings among his own two sons, when he would pass in turn. He hung up his cudgel for a plow and ledger. He regretted his treatment of his younger brother, and wished his sons could have cousins to play with.

One evening, the younger brother returned. Upon seeing his younger brother, the elder ran forwards in grief and joy, but the younger thought he was once again being set upon. The younger brother did the only think he could think of, and jumped high into the sky, ox upon his shoulders. With a crash, he and the ox landed upon the family home, destroying it completely. The elder brother's wife and children, and the ox, were instantly slain. The resulting shockwave destroyed all the crops and laid the fields barren for all time. Their father's buried bones were disintegrated. A great crater was formed at the site, a league deep, within which the younger brother dwelt for the rest of his days, contemplating the monk's lesson, the tears of the elder brother falling upon him.

Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again". Immediately the tree withered.

I started writing K6BD-ified 'The Fox and the Grapes', then realized it was just 'Jesus Gets Mad at a Fig Tree'
