(Full version soon, I’m already half-done, but juggling multiple projects at the moment.) SO! This is the plot hook for this chapter–and you thought it would just be about weddings? HAH!
In case you’re wondering what else I’m doing…there’s this ridiculous narrative Let’s Play I’m writing: Civilization V, starring Big Boss of Metal Gear Solid fame (as a modded civilization. Yes.) It’s in progress over at SomethingAwful right now, here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3603822 . Four words: Historical Figure Boss Fights. (If you decide to post over there, be polite, of course…)
This’ll be interesting! I wonder if there is anyone stuck inside the bubble … and how the bubble deals with light and matter crossing the boundary. (If it was a simple time-distortion, you’d expect the contents to be fried by the many-times-multiplied sunlight, but if it was simple light-dimming, you’d expect the bubble to look black.)
It’ll look dimmer when in color…sorry…
No need to apologize – it’s just coincidence that I’d seen a discussion of light interacting with time-fields in the comments on a superhero web serial, so I was primed to think about it in a particular way. 🙂
One of my favorite scifi stories involves using a time-warping field and a flashlight together to create a weapon that burns people’s heads off. Written by Larry Niven!
Gotta imagine that’s a one-shot weapon, but ni-i-ice!
Any light landing on that bubble will shift up in frequency or intensity. I hope whoever put up the bubble thought about shunting away the excess energy, or anything in the mansion will be highly irradiated and radiation-pitted. Or if the ratio of slowdown is high enough, the bubble could go up like a nuke.
Well I wanted to follow along with that LP until you finished it, but SA won’t let me look at the page anymore.
I am quite disappointed.
“Is this a surprise inspection?” “Well, I wasn’t expecting to walk in on all of you in your underwear, so I suppose it is now…”
