[quote name='SunfallE'][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Perhaps I should adopt Gavin and snag us another European. [/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Perhaps I should add you to that harem you were so interested in me forming. :P[/SIZE]

[quote name='Azukuriu;849027][FONT=Palatino Linotype]In my mind, I view ME2 as a bridge chapter in the series. You must remember that at the end of the first game, the old Council has been destroyed, the Citadel is in ruins, and Shepard decides that no matter what he is going to go on this crusade to destroy the Reapers once and for all.[/FONT][/quote][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]That depends on how your previous ending played out, I saved the Council and Shepard in my game seemed to continue his commitment of fostering an galaxy-wide alliance including humanity, rather than under humanity against the Reapers.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][quote name='Azukuriu'][FONT=Palatino Linotype']But the main point I want to bring to light is the Collectors. I'm going to assume that you've already beaten the game, so you already know about what the the Collectors really are and what their role is. While Saren led the geth against Shepard in the first game, the second Mass Effects shows that the they were never the real threat. The collectors were the true servants of the Reapers, and always have been. There is no central "bad guy" in the second game, because Shepard is going against an entire race of bad guys.[/FONT][/quote][SIZE=1] Sovereign, Saren and the (Heretic) Geth were most certainly the real threat in ME1, if not for the Protheans disabling the Keeper signal Sovereign's plan would've played out exactly as he'd planned and exactly as each of the previous invasion plans had occurred. The Collectors themselves were no greater a threat than the Heretics, both groups were working under the direct supervision of a Reaper (Harbinger in the former's case, Sovereign in the latter's), much like the Keepers. It's merely a continuation of the same concept that while individually potent the Repears are forced to use intermediaries and minions to achieve their ends. Of course given the ending, that's all about to change.[/SIZE]

[quote name='James'][FONT=franklin gothic medium]So in other words, I think there's room for everything. Let's just have fun. :catgirl:[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Pun intended ?[/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']But now my eyes are watery and burning.:([/quote] [SIZE=1]Now what kind of Sith Lord would I be if I didn't occasionally torture my minions ? It's for your own benefit after all. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Indi'][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Indigo]And if you're still not convinced ... just blame Gavin. Everything is his fault nowadays. :p[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]...and ?[/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']Why...would you DO that to me?!:animedepr[/quote] [size=1]For teh evulz of course[/size]

[SIZE=1]I have to admit, I'm disliking the ease at which Aizen is being cut as the latest chapter. I mean he stopped Ichigo's bankai with one finger, barehanded Komamura's sword and yet suddenly Hitsugaya can stab through him. When Shinji did it, it seemed impressive, when Hitsugaya does it (albeit with help) it seems less so. I'm just brought back to Kenpachi's little lecture about how when two reiatsu's meet the stronger cuts, hard to believe even bankai Hitsu has enough reiatsu to cut through Aizen's. Same for Soi-Fon really but that shikai is hax. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Personally, I think if we come across a subject in the PRP that we think can be discussed more in-depth, we should make a thread for it. Then we could have (gasp) topical discussions.[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Logic win. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]As we're still waiting for Shy to get in his nominations, this thread will remain open until [B]Sunday evening 6pm (GMT)[/B] after which the voting committee will begin to tabulate the votes. So please take these last few days to get any votes in, by which I mean anyone who's been this late has to vote for me in at least one category. :P [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]*Sighs* Almost got rid of both Sasuke's pathetic fangirls in the one chapter, never get that opportunity again. Oh well I should be grateful for one I suppose. That said, I have to admit I quite liked the chapter, nice to see a bit of development for Danzou and that there was something behind his thoughts on Sarutobi. Also Kohane was quite the babe in her youth. Anyone else think Uchiha Kagami is probably Shisui's father ? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hmm, probably still Orihime for me, old man is badass and does not repeat one line over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Funnily enough I've always figured Yama was holding back because his full strength is so ridiculously OP that he'd probably have to ensure it was only himself and Aizen in the area or he'd risk killing the others. Who really knows though, maybe he's just dozed off for a minute after all the excitement. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Family home is out in the countryside, so our nearest neighbour is about 500+ metres away at each side which along with the fact one of our neighbours are my uncle's family (and the one next to him is another brother) has meant there's never any issue. Only issue I've ever had is the cattle at night sometimes, but it's not that common.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Live in an apartment block in the city for college currently having moved out of a house of three slobs and a slobby-germphobe (yeah, couldn't work out that one either). Generally quiet as I'm living in the post-grad/mature student block, only trouble that every occurs really is when the guys in the flat above come back at 2 am pissed out of their collective heads and singing made slightly better by the fact one of them can really sing well.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]So yeah, I've been fairly fortunate, no nightmare neighbours so far. *Touches wood*[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hmm, based on the spoilers so far it seems as if Hitsu is being fan-wanked even more by Kubo than usual. Still, I expect to be just an illusion.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Mmmm pancakes.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Good. :p[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I hadn't really thought about it to be honest, although I'd probably say threads that were made within the calender year in question, 09 in this case. I don't mind though unless anyone has an objection to it. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]The unlit cigarette hung between his lips in an almost obnoxious manner, the rain pelting down had ruined it before Bastien had had a chance to savour his daily nicotine hit, probably for the best anyway he thought ruefully. Spitting it out and grinding it with his left foot into the dirt he returned his attention to his assailant. He supposed this kind of thing might?ve happened less if he was on the take, the SFPD had over the years degenerated into as much a criminal element as any of the others, specialising in protection, racketeering and murder if one had the cash. Having grown up with nothing money had never meant much to Bastien. It was just a means to an end: better suits, better cars, fancier fucks, the value of money was all in the mind and he had better things to be doing that keeping up with the Jones?. The laser-dot of the man?s weapon hovered over Bastien?s heart, his own pistol pressing in an almost mocking manner against his spine. It wasn?t the first hit put out against him, not even the first of the month, but what made this one remarkable was how amateurish this one seemed to be, a single gunman on his return from picking up a litre of milk from the corner store...it was actually pretty insulting. Unconsciously he felt his mouth shift into a small smile, although he?d taken steps to try to hide his identity, which meant he was small-time and this was personal, Bastien figured he was a kid of no more than eighteen and probably Asian from the skin-tone he?d caught a glimpse of when he?d forced the kid to shift to re-centre the laser for a fatal shot. More than likely he was a relative of one of the guys he?d busted the week before for a prostitution ring, small fish trying to swim in a big sea, guys who should?ve been damn glad they?d not been dealt with by the Serpents for trying to take a piece of their territory. Such was cause and effect however, it didn?t matter what would?ve happened to them, he was responsible for this hood?s brother being forced to serve time, or come up with a large enough bribe for the judge to grant leniency. His nicotine craving reared for a moment, the need for the toxin to invade his lungs and grant him the rush of clarity and focus, brushing it off he raised his hands in a placating manner. [B]?Kid I want you to think about what you?re doing here for a second.? ?I know exactly what I?m doing you fucking pig.? [/B] His voice cracked, his hand shook causing the laser dot to fluctuate around Bastien?s chest. The kid was a mess, a jumble of emotions heaving through his system, pride and fear keeping his feet firmly glued between Bastien and his apartment. He?d probably been drunk or high, maybe both, when he?d made the decision on the confrontation, that elevated sense of strength and power having quickly faded the moment he realised Bastien would have no qualms about killing him if he wavered for even a second. [B]?Do you? Say you actually do pull that trigger and somehow manage to kill me, what do you thinks going to happen afterwards??[/B] Bastien?s tone hardened as the kid offered no answer in return, merely licking his lips nervously. [B]?You?ll be a dead man walking. While I?m not particularly liked within the SFPD, something about doing my job and not growing fat off kick-backs and protection money, they hate a cop-killer. They?ll figure out who you are and then they?ll get nasty, you, your family, your friends, all dead as a message: Do not fuck with the SFPD.?[/B] Bastien pulled up his cigarette for the following day and lit it and sated his growing craving, puffing out a thick stream of smoke. [B]?Like I said though, I?m one of those mythic ?honest? cops you hear about from time to time, I busted your brother before the Serpents got to him and his buddies because if I hadn?t, well, it would?ve been more complicated for everyone. So when a little piss-ant with you, filled with righteous indignation crosses my path with a pistol in hand telling me he knows exactly what he?s fucking doing, it has a tendency to make me consider a less honourable outlook on life.?[/B] Inhaling again he watched as the wheels slowly turned in the kid?s head and fear overtook balls. The laser-dot dropped from his chest to the ground between them, enough time for Bastien to pull his own gun free and pump a round into the kid?s shoulder. The pistol clattered to the ground as he brought his hand up to try to stem the growing bloodloss, crossing the distance between them Bastien delivered a sharp snap-kick to his chest sending him reeling over onto the concrete. Leaning down and grinding his pistol into the kid?s forehead Bastien allowed a small amount of hot ash to fall into his face. [B]?Like I said, they?d kill you, I?m just going to leave you off with a warning. If I see you around here, or any of your piss-ant friends decide they want to get even I?m going to find you...? [/B] He ruffled through the kid?s pockets and pulled out a small leather wallet, withdrawing the driver?s licence inside and placing it in his own pocket and tossing the wallet onto his chest. [B]?...Li Shun Sheng, and I?m not going aim for your shoulder. Do you understand me ??[/B] He forced the gun further into the kid?s skull as Li nodded his comprehension of the situation vigorously. Withdrawing the weapon, he allowed the kid to scamper down the street likely heading for the nearest hospital of street surgeon. Tossing his milk into the fridge, Bastien took another long drag from the cigarette and grabbed a scrap of paper from his overflowing desk. Retrieving the phone from the other side of the room he carefully punched in the series of digits and waited for an answer. [B]?This is Besson, I?ve taken care of a problem for the Lady and I expect it to be left in my hands.?[/B] [/SIZE]
