Re: The Bleak Streets of Twokinds: A Twokinds Forum Noir Story
Haha, finally, an update on this old thing. As always, Master Av, this old fox salutes ye. I love how this old board comes to life in your tales, and that allusion to Sage brought back ancient memories that still make me laugh. I look forward to the next update, and I'm glad you're back to your creative self again.

Ooh, a nice surprise. As always, Avwolf, I enjoy reading your work. So my only question is this, does Yash beat people to death with his hammer? Because I can only think of one other way to for truly perma-ban people from ever entering a city.

Hmm, I'd be more believing that the hammer is some kind of Magical device; after all, the mods are -investigating- murders, not causing them. At least, not usuallyHim wrote:does Yash beat people to death with his hammer? Because I can only think of one other way to for truly perma-ban people from ever entering a city.
Unless of course we go with the notion that said hammer actually transforms into a big gun. Which I would not argue against.

Oh, so we can shoot people but not beat them to death with hammers? I'm kidding of course, that would be an awful way to go.JediGuy wrote:Unless of course we go with the notion that said hammer actually transforms into a big gun. Which I would not argue against.

Re: The Bleak Streets of Twokinds: A Twokinds Forum Noir Story
Turns out the "ban hammer" is attached to the "ban firing pin," which allows it to fire the "ban bullets" from the "ban barrel."
It's a gun, is what I'm implying. A ban gun.

If certain rumors were to be believed, I'd be an AI construct housed somewhere in the Nevada desert with access to nuclear missiles.avwolf wrote:One of the things I enjoy about Bleak Streets is how it examines the line between what is fiction and what is fictionalized. When Sage told people to "get in the soup," was it really as brutal as "[drowning] folks in boiling soup?" Eh, probably not, but this version fits the setting better. Throughout the story, the line between real fiction and merely a fictionalized retelling of events is blurry. And it delights me.amenon wrote:As always, Bleak Streets is really tricky for me to say anything about -- how does one discuss a meta-reality without discussing reality-reality? -- but "I used to know a guy who drowned folks in boiling soup, often for little more than annoying him on a bad day." got a pretty big laugh out of me

Since avwolf decided to, how did he put it... "Conceptualize [amenon] and Schrodinger as opposing shoulder consciences, throttling each other over which story I should be working on when I have time to write. =P"Schrodinger wrote:Since when did we start keeping score?amenon wrote:Glad to see you writing.

But more on topic (rather than meta-topic), one of the difficulties with discussing this is that -- given earlier implications, and the fact that the story is noir -- it seems overwhelmingly likely that Yash is taking over the scene to conceal his own involvement. And that just doesn't seem like a polite thing to say

Re: The Bleak Streets of Twokinds: A Twokinds Forum Noir Story
Alright, read the whole thing. I really like it. Probably because it takes place in a community I know. Just like a book I read in middle school I can't remember the name of, it mentions (and goes to) a small town I've been to.
Now time to anxiously wait for the next update, and looking at the pattern, will be a while :/

Don't mind me, just stirring up tea, trouble and people's hopes.

Can't let this thing get buried under the writing competition, after all.
