[ Steph has set up this PSA perfectly framed so that everyone can see the exasperated expression on her face. Not angry, thankfully that whole ordeal is over, but deeply unimpressed by her fellow interdimensional travellers. ]

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of Murphy's Law.

You may not call it that. You may not know it exists. But I promise you, it holds true for every culture, in every time period, in every universe:

Anything that can go wrong, will.

Does it seem like a bad idea? It is. Is there a chance it'll blow up in your face? It will, and probably everyone else's face too. Is it going to make strangers mad at you? Don't do it.

[ She looks the camera dead in the eye, glaring as though she can stop people from being stupid by sheer force of will. She will damn well try regardless.

There's a pause while she hopes that sinks in. ]

Also, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm sharing it anyway:

Necromancy is never the answer.


That's all. I'm out.

a technical oversight, I'm sure

in any case, I have way too much experience in leaping before I look.

I mean one should take advantage of such mistakes then.

Anything like causing undead riders to appear?

Gotham's not that big on the supernatural. I did accidentally blow up a building once.

A building? I think that is a bit beyond not looking before you leap.

I wasn't the one who dropped a jammed rocket launcher!



but I am the one who forgot the guy was holding it when the fight started.

Re: text

I mean I could see the world in which a rocket launcher might be hard to miss.

If it is a normal occurrence.

as much as I would love to run with that, honestly, I got distracted.

nobody died though! that I know of. idk what happened after he was sent to prison.

[mushroomaficionado]

I mean, nobody died is the baseline, isn't it?

the unachievable daily goal for Gotham City

[mushroomaficionado]

Many places are like that though, or at least where I come from is.

I think this conversation will make a lot more sense in the context of me fighting crime.

and investigating murder doesn't count, that's not on me

Like in the comic books then?

That does put a different spin on things then. A very different one.

Maybe? I never got into comics. But if you mean am I talking outside the law, then yes.

I'm mostly retired though.
