Given how Metatron reacted to the fire extinguisher incident in canon, I do not envy the agents who have to exorcise him. Nor do I envy them having to bring home a Mini-Golgothan. (In case you don't know what the Golgothan is, it's a walking hostile pile of faeces formed from the bowels and bladders of crucifixion victims releasing in their death-throes. Pleasant creature, but I figure it'd be an appropriate Mini.)

... a solution that doesn't involve massively powerful weapons? Exorcisms would work the same way as anywhere else (only stand well back when they take effect; supernatural entities don't necessarily wake up well). Depending on the entity, they might be susceptible to tranquilisers, chloroform, etc to make it easier. Heck, even acting like a bumbling idiot, pretending you think they're a famous author, and asking for their autograph would get you near enough to exorcise, easy.

Killing is different, but not necessarily harder. [Has now glanced at the 'fic] There's dozens of continua where angels can be killed -- if you can't think of anything better, just drag her over there and stab away. Or you could tempt her with something she can't resist (she's a Sue, shouldn't be too hard), then point out that she's just become a Fallen Angel and violated her character description; with luck she'll implode from logic overdose. Or you could borrow a hero from an Eddings book, they're prone to killing divinities and their servants. Or... dozens of things.

...I would say that Eevee's evolution into different adult forms is controlled by environment.

Ditto having eyes is a good thing - it means it can see, which means that it knows what it has to look like :) and therefore the camouflage idea works too.

My gosh, it's been such a long time since I dropped by xD; I apologize; school's been hectic and all.

Well, now that that apology has been said, I would like to ask for permission. My LJ is here, along with all my character profiles: http://pepperedfox.livejournal.com/

(I prefer if you read the more recent stories/chapters xD I'm rather embarrassed by the low quality of some of them.)

The badfic I'll be tackling is this one: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3236813/1/

*Sits down and waits*

can kill supernatural entities/souls if used properly. Ender-Peter's comments in the last Speaker book suggest that, at least.

Just waiting on a beta reader now.  (Feels a little weird; I'm in the beta-reader directory myself.  But it'd probably be for the best if a neutral party looked my mission over before I put it up for public view.)

From what I hear, they all have been.  But just for good measure, I made sure of it.

I haven't heard of this... person, but the stories are definitely not supposed to be rated T. That was a disgusting experience just looking at the first paragraphs of some of them. I'm now feeling very tempted to spork my eyes out. I hope all of the stories get reported ASAP.

What the flying hell is that mess?  It makes even the worst of Semiiramiis's tripe look coherent by comparison.

Yeah, the Lost One/murloc thing.  And something similar involving an undead tauren.  The same jerk or jerks who committed the Warhammer 40k atrocity Squad Broken.

I tried to look at them as little as possible while reporting them (all of them are rated T at the Pit).  The glimpses I got were...ewww.

Crashing Down: Awesome, as always.

Ghost In The Machine: I'd wondered about how she got involved. :)

All Roads: Freaking hilarious. It's fantastic to see them again. All four of 'em. :P

I was my mother's last (even if she does occasionally insist I'm the eldest) so no knowledge from there. But my sister dropped her first three years ago, and her second's due in about three weeks. And this second's not being so easy, so I'm learning plenty from it. For example: you also can't have a home birth if your iron levels are ridiculously low. (And getting lower since your iron tablet intake was tripled - that baby's going to be made entirely of metal when it comes out, I think.)

1: Crashing Down: Chapter 18 - Crashing Down

In which there are eleven viewpoint characters (three of them insane), seven character deaths, dozens of callbacks, and three Pokemon.

2: As a prequel to the events of this chapter, End of the Beginning: Ghost In The Machine, starring two characters featured in it, and explaining how some things came about.

3: Only slightly related, End of the Beginning: All Roads. Featuring two four two very well-known PPC characters, and also a half-elf in ancient Rome.

Considering all my knowledge is coming from my mother's last pregnancy thirteen years ago, I've recalled a lot. o.o

But this discussion's been very useful; I like making sure I've got my facts right, and it's all good for future reference.

If you're ever left unattended somewhere with Sky for a few hours, investigate. There are channels devoted entirely to babies and childbirth. Some of it gets pretty graphic. And gross.

Nothing gets in, nothing gets out. Stops you getting gunky bacteria up there as well, I'd imagine. Although that doesn't stop the baby from picking up any gunk from the vagina on the way out, which is why, as we have just discovered, home births with Evil Pregnancy Thrush of Doom are not allowed.

*throws shiny presents into a swimming pool so can bask properly in them*

Thoughts on being 24: it feels exactly like 23. The only appreciable difference seems to be me looking even more confused and taking slightly longer to work it out on my fingers whenever I'm IDed and asked how old I am.

As far as I'm aware, the plug is there to prevent anything getting into the womb during the pregnancy and possibly damaging the sac of amniotic fluid or harming the baby.

Though I would hate to be a father and have my baby have to stay at the hospital for a couple of months until it is fully developed/big enough to take home.

Someone's staked a claim to the latter, but the former are still unclaimed.

Oh, and I found a new Warcraft badfic:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4376401/1/FallenLoveQueenOfThy_Hearts

It contains a Sue who's immune to the Sunwell, is the Lich King's concubine, and Malygo's best buddy. I only made it till Chapter 2. Kill it with fire!

What's the show for? Why is there a plug of mucus around the cervix? I just figured that coming loose was what let the amniotic fluid out. If not, what's it doing there?

"If you ever saw a baby right after birth"

I haven't. Which works against me a lot whenever I have a birth scene.

And I wonder if Al's Waiter's still hanging around HQ...
