Cloaked Mystery

@everyone

Update: thanks for your prayers, everyone! Mom is feeling better now, and we’re thinking that she was feeling bad for some reason other than getting sick. (She’s been under some stress preparing for Christmas, and that’s the short answer. She has some other health problems that are related, but kind of compl…[Read more]

Aa Kate looked up at the Snake and the other dragon, thinking about how to get the dragons close enough, the green stone dropped.

Kate ran towards it as it fell, both dragons diving for it. As it neared the ground, she swung the Arclash. It whipped the stone out of the way of the dragon’s snatching claws. The stone glimmered as it flew a…[Read more]

Messing with physics is fun.

So to go back to the punch example, basically it’s going to feel like punching someone twice as heavy. It will be a little different, because every part of them will feel like it has more inertia. So if you punch them in the stomach, it’s going to feel twice as stiff. You will be delivering twice as much force, however, so they will still rea…[Read more]

Let me think through a simpler example.

Two identical balls collide in the air with equal kinetic energy. One is affected by Negative Dilation, and is moving twice as slow. It still has equal kinetic energy. If neither was dilated, and the collision was elastic, they would essentially reverse direction. So the time dilation will cause no d…[Read more]

Actually, thinking about the physics of collisions, perhaps the fist would experience extra recoil? Maybe I can think about this in terms of everything having twice as much inertia compared to the user.

My mom is always up before me, and my dad slightly after. Usually it’s my younger brother that needs to be woken up.

@highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom

The time dilation powers include a physics problem that I need to solve.

The question is one of energy. Normally when something is moving faster, it has more energy, and when it’s slower, it has less energy. But what about when you’re messing with time speed? If someone is slow and they throw a punch, is…[Read more]

Ooh, I should also add that we have a tradition of cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas.

1. We have a Christmas Eve service.
2. No
3. Home Alone
4. Cookies
5. Mom and dad get all of us kids gifts. We kids do a gift exchange where each of us buys for a different person each year.
6. Christmas morning as soon as everyone is up…and if someone takes too long, everyone starts singing Joy to the World. (I’ve never needed to be woken up. Exc…

@trailblazer

Yep. Mom is still up and about and she isn’t sure if she is getting sick yet, so we’re going ahead with preparations. If she is sick that will almost definitely mean cancellation, but we’re not sure yet.

@trailblazer

I remember a particular Christmas where my whole family was sick. It was 2018. I also had a broken foot at the time. That was…not fun to say the least, so I’ll never feel too disappointed as long as it isn’t that bad.

@keilah-h

Thanks!

@esther-c

Thank you! When we got sick we were saying “well, at least we won’t be sick on Christmas this way!” But now…

@savannah_grace2009

That’s really weird.

@grcr

Thanks!

@savannah_grace2009

Ah, that’s too bad! I hope you feel back to normal soon!

@everyone

As you are no doubt aware, it is Christmas Eve today. @highscribe’s and my mom shows signs of coming down with the same illness that the two of us had earlier this week. It wasn’t anything serious, just your average vomit-inducing flu, but it would most likely mean that we’d have to cancel a Christmas get together tomorrow, which would…[Read more]

Um… no…
