>And yet quite easy to please.
It's good as long as you don't say that part aloud, otherwise you get pouting and sulking.
>You know, without being limited by the age rating, Chaldea is going to become quite the wild place.
Yup! Medb is going to be trying to fuck all the men and a good portion of the women, Shuten will be getting as many people drunk as possible, Holmes would be advocating for opium dens and plenty more I'm blanking on at the moment.
>Great idea, quite lucky of me to get such a cute, competent and capable assistant. **C.C.C BBB*
....you continue to prove yourself a man of culture.
>But has she considered the power of the indomitable human spirit?
Ironically for FGO, the indomitable human spirit still relies on Romani killing himself to matter.
>Thing is, I completely forgot that the "Kill everyone who fails the Rite of selection” was not her idea, and Jumper would 100% just jump in and try to save them when they witnessed it at the start.
Not like she's gonna do anything, dealing with interruptions is Gawain's job. And it's one we can win! ...it'll just be really painful unless I drop all subtlety and drop Aurea Poculum on him.
>But most important, it’s likely the best chance Jumper would get to use that line, and I’m taking it. Then I’m stealing her chair, it will might some work, but I’m bringing that throne back to Chaldea with me.
As Aizen teaches us, comfy chairs are important to a villain's state of mind. (I looked for a meme for hours, and could not find it. Sad)
>Not to make my own of course, but rather to use it to upgrade you/BBB once I’m confident I can trust the reprogramming worked. It would take a long time but by the point we reach the timeless temple I’d give myself good odds of having figured out how to do so, even more so with you helping.
Ah, that's sweet! And pretty practical. No need to have a second being you need to make sure won't betray you when you can just strengthen your loving wife who won't do so.
>The holy grail was also purchased simply to have an sample to scan so I can create a detector, afterwards I would just hand it to you/BBB on the belief that you would use it better, but that’s not as relevant. Or maybe it is, you are the one with the grail.
I have my own Grail and can make more, yeah. Still very helpful since it makes solving the singularities much simpler if it's long-range enough. Which it should be, since it's not like any of your tech is going to have trouble with global range scanning.
>The internal clock would be synched to housewife you/BBB, so that would depend on her, sadly creating anything in that space would also be beyond you
Oh, I'm aware. This is the "1/10,000,000,000,000" chance sorta thing on her part of trying to do the impossible resulting in something actually happening. In almost every possible world it doesn't happen, but...well, she/I am a Nasu characer in this, so 'impossible' is more of a very strong suggestion than anything else.
>Go ahead, I like reading both about mythology and peoples thoughts on it.
So the first thing to keep in mind is that Brahma has a tendency to be very fond of ascetics and those who perform great austerities and acts of pennance. And has something of a reputation for giving asuras (i.e. the tribe of deities that over time became increasinly vied as the evil counterparts rather than just rivals of the deva) who performed such acts immense boons, which would then allow them to do things like conquer the universe until an avatar of Vishnu or Shiva or one of the deva resolves the problem by bypassing whatever boon Brahma gave.
In this context, the daitya asura King Hiranyakasipu decided that he wanted to either take Brahma's position in the cosmos, or else get a boon from the creator deity sufficient to allow him to conquer the universe...and also to kill Vishnu, because one of the gods incarnations killed Hiranyakasipu's younger brother when he became a big threat to the cosmic order.
Anyway, what Hiranyakasipu did was stand on the tip of his toes, with his arms held straight up, while looking up at the sky. He then proceeded to maintain this posture 36,000 years with not a single shift in posture or position. This had a few consequences. For one, he started glowing as such:
>From the hair on Hiranyakasipu's head there emanated an effulgent light as brilliant and intolerable as the rays of the sun at the time of dissolution.
>(...)
>Because of Hiranyakasipu's severe austerities, fire came from his head, and this fire and its smoke spread throughout the sky, encompassing the upper and lower planets, which all became extremely hot.
>Because of the power of his severe austerities, all the rivers and oceans were agitated, the surface of the globe, with its mountains and islands, began trembling, and the stars and planets fell. All directions were ablaze. Scorched and extremely disturbed because of Hiranyakasipu's severe penances, all the demigods left the planets where they reside and went to the planet of Lord Brahma, where they informed the creator as follows: (...)
At the same time, he maintained this posture for so long, and ants, worms termites and other vermin devoured all of the soft tissue of his body, rendering him to nothing but bone. But this did not kill him, for he through sheer will and wisdom managed to force his "life air" to circulate within and between his bones, which remained perfectly in posture even as an ant-mount was built up around him, completely concealing him...you know, except for the miniature star he was emitting which was outputting enough energy to light up the whole universe.
But anyway, the reason (besides the threat of burning the universe's matter to ash) this was a problem is because even Brahma is part of the cycle of life and death. In a previous Maha-Kalpa (311 trillion years, the lifespan of Brahma) he was someone else, or perhaps himself if his karma is sufficient for him as Brahma to end up as Brahma again. But regardless, Brahma earned his position through severe austerities, penance and achieving mystic powers through yoga and self-hypnotism. Suffice to say, Hiranyakasipu was aiming to unseat Brahma by surpassing the austerities Brahma performed to earn his position, and if he had done so he could reign over the universe for the next 115 trillion years, reverse right & wrong, etc etc.
So Brahma went over to Hiranyakasipu, admitted functional defeat to the daitya and offered to give him any boon he requested, after giving Hiranyakasipu his flesh and youth back. Hiranyakasipu goes on a long series of praising Brahma as a show of respect (he's sincerely jubliant at seeing Brahma and seems to react like a mortal on seeing God, which, in fairness, is an accurate reading of their comparative status). He initially asks for immortality, but Brahma states that he cannot grant Hiranyakasipu true immortality, for even he, Brahma, will eventually die and be reborn.
[Expand Post]
So instead Hiranyakasipu asks for conditional invulnerability and agelessness, with a list of conditions....uh, well...see for yourself:
>O my lord, O best of the givers of benediction, if you will kindly grant me the benediction I desire, please let me not meet death from any of the living entities created by you.
>Grant me that I not die within any residence or outside any residence, during the daytime or at night, nor on the ground or in the sky. Grant me that my death not be brought by any being other than those created by you, nor by any weapon, nor by any human being or animal.
>Grant me that I not meet death from any entity, living or nonliving. Grant me, further, that I not be killed by any demigod or demon or by any great snake from the lower planets. Since no one can kill you in the battlefield, you have no competitor. Therefore, grant me the benediction that I too may have no rival. Give me sole lordship over all the living entities and presiding deities, and give me all the glories obtained by that position. Furthermore, give me all the mystic powers attained by long austerities and the practice of yoga, for these cannot be lost at any time.

>Aways nice to have some people with your interest to bounce ideas off, even more so when they bring completely novel ones.
True! There's a reason these sorts tend to really enjoy collab work when the narcissism doesn't get in the way, and Da Vinci doesn't tend to let her ego weigh on her thoughts. Not in serious situations anyway.
>I wonder her thoughts on the existence of the equations.
Depends on whether they function outside your presence I suppose.
>And hey, having a bunch of robots that can go toe to toe with mid tier servants will be wonderful for security purposes. Please, ignore the cute Kouhai who has full control and access over the network. (spoiler)
And the funny thing is? This still want stop intruders and incidents. The events *cannot* be stopped.
>Yes, Post-Crisis Kryptonians might pale before the ones from the silver age, but compared to most other things, they are very much so unstoppable. And that’s not counting whatever improvements you and Da Vinci can bring from the magical side.
They're very buff, as long as the writer remembers that they're not supposed to be weak to magic, just not resistant to it. But, alas....
>And yet, there will aways be those magus who will try. They would not last long, but it would be funny to see.
Self-solving problems tend to be like that, for the first while anyway.
>You are welcome
And thank you.
>Nothing like debating with yourself for a few hours. the regretting not listening to your other arguments.
That just seems like normal life to me. My doubts tend to lead me astray right up until I don't listen to them, at which point they become correct.

You cheeky boy~
>Now if only I had some way of using those large rocks to hit far way opponents…
Have you considered thinking with portals and allowing gravity to do it for you?
>Hood point, although I see the whole “age slower at no negative effect” something that would attract quite a few.
It would, but it's not a super shocking thing, since it's pretty normal for mages to live well into their second century before they need to get into serious work on life-extension. Honestly, the physical benefits are probably going to be more impactful since most mages don't actually do the whole 'self reinforcement' trick since they bookworm homebodies.
...tired, will respond to rest tomorrow.
