Reply to comment by DragonNestKing in [WP] Tradition dictates that each sentient species is given one seat in the Galactic Parliament. When humanity made contact with the galactic community, it was decided that planet earth deserves to have four senators. by Spozieracz
For some reason I was expecting it to end with Spiders being the Dominant species (just based around the total worldwide number of insect and arachnids and such), and humans left standing with their jaws dropped at not being one of the four.

I don’t know why, but a part of me was expecting to see a vampire show up. Just, all, “of course we exist”

Reply to comment by Muted_Item_8665 in [WP] There are two types of rebels in the world. Young, plucky heroes with a prophecy and plot armor, and grim faced, dirt streaked insurgents with old Soviet guns and handmade explosives. The problem comes when these two groups team up. by turtle-tot
Reminded me of the Movie Maintenance Podcast’s episode about The Hunger Games.
I’d read a book with this premise.

Okay, I think I get most of the allusions. But who do the three troublemakers refer to?

Reply to comment by JustAWeirdo2000 in [WP] The world ended 20 years ago, you haven't found a living soul since then. Through some ingenuity, you call voicemails for the last 20 years to keep you company. "Hi, this is Cindy..." "Hi you reached Bob" "You know what to do at the beep" until one day "Hello...hello? Oh my God hello!" by killznhealz
Immortality means you have plenty of time to develop split personalities.

Reply to [WP] Movies would have you believe that when a demon possesses someone, they wreak as much havoc as they can before being exorcised. In reality, demons want to stay out of Hell for as long as possible, and what better way than making sure the host and their family really like the possession. by Azreal_Mistwalker
I suppose I see them a lot. In my position, that is.
Both the Boys from Below and the Girls from Above. Not sure why it breaks down that way. Suppose it could be some agreement they’ve made. Or just natural inclination. Guess it’s not really my place to wonder.
It is what it is.
The Boys from Below are the easy ones to spot. See a lot of ‘em in AA, the ones that have some ‘epiphany’ moment, and turn their life around. Often get their wives and children and whatnot coming up to thank me. “Not me,” I’d tell them. “It’s all on his head.”
Or they’re the ones coming back to my church after saying they’d never darken the doorstep ever again. All contrite, and apologetic.
Oh, yes. The church is a big haven for them. Think about it. Escaping a bit of a bad situation, ya know. They generally find sanctuary in a place as far from their… home… as they can.
Same reason they turn their lives around. Well, their hosts’ lives. Same difference, really.
Don’t wanna go back. Can’t say I blame ‘em, neither.
Nah, nah. They’re just here to make something of themselves. Something better.
See, it’s the other side’s ‘guests’ ya gotta be careful about.
No, see. Up above, it’s full of rules.
Regulations. Directives. Commandments. Whatever you wants ta call ‘em.
And they get down here, and what do they find? Anarchy. Pure, sweet, and simple anarchy.
So, they latch onto whatever system of rules they can. To a rather… unnatural extent, you could say.
Doesn’t matter what the rules are for, or how just they are. Only matters that they are followed. MLMs, HOAs, local politics, and then some.
Anyways, that’s why I cannot, in good conscious, allow this marriage to take place.
I mean, Jim-Bob here is an ex-drug dealin’, child beatin’, dog sniffin’ bastard, possessed by one of the ranking demons from hell…
And Karen, he’s just too damn good fer the likes of you!

Reply to comment by SamuraiHealer in [WP] In a world dependant on superpowers, you though your ability of being immune to direct alterations from other powers was mildly inconvenient. You realize something is up when a friend points out you haven't aged at all in a decade. by Balethorne
Could be the Doc’s power is building scanning devices that map out a person’s health.
Also, would love to see something where Kyle realizes that his power is ‘resistance’ and not just pure immunity… and he finds a couple criminals with powers (say… one that ‘boosts’ others’ powers and one that causes tumors to ‘grow’) and uses their interactions with his own power to remove the tumor completely.
Side-step the Chief, as it were.
