Cloaked Mystery

@rae

I am familiar with time bubbles from other things. Time powers in general are cool.

An argument can be valid without being true.

@rae

I find your second premise faulty.

@rae

I’ve never taken a logic class, so I don’t know how to lay it out right, but there’s my thought process.

@rae

If the two parts of an object are moving at different speeds, they’re going to rip apart or squish together. Imagine you run into this bubble. As soon as part of you enters, it slows down, only to be rammed by the next part. You would basically be flattened. If you are inside and try to run out, as soon as part of you leaves, it speeds up a…[Read more]

@rae

Okay, so that would mean if you try to go in, you would get squished to death, and if you tried to leave, you would get ripped apart.

@rae

This is pretty technical, but what happens to an object part way inside? Say you jab a stick in and move it to the side. The part inside moves slower, so does it get ripped off? Or if something is touching it, does all of it get slowed, even if part of it is outside?

@rae

Okay, so the characters have to make sure they don’t get caught in the bubble. Well, if the bubble is going to be there for several hours, they can’t get past it can they?

@whalekeeper

I think that if you were in side, time would be normal speed for you, and everything outside would just go really fast, so you would die just as quickly.

@rae

I think @whalekeeper was thinking that all the characters were in the bubble as well.

@rae

How big is the bubble? Because as soon as the explosion reaches the edge, it will return to normal speed.

@whalekeeper

The bomb is in the bubble, so everyone outside as extra time to react.

@rae

But how much is the bomb slowed? It will still explode eventually.

@rae

How long will that last?

@rae

You mean Gunslinger?

@rae

I changed it, so there are no guards now.

Did Gunslinger just detonate the bomb?

I’ll replace the bazookas with bombs. The bomb is made up, so it can be as powerful as we need.

Selius

As Gunslinger stepped into the room, a round thing rolled across the floor and came to a halt.
“I’m impressed!” said the voice, “you already broke the training course! You might want to get out of the way now!”

“Take cover!” shouted Selius.

@rae

So he must weigh a lot, right?

Ignore that while we figure this out.

Selius

As Gunslinger stepped into the room, a dozen uniformed guards charged in, carrying long timber over their shoulders. [These are bazookas.]
“I’m impressed!” said the voice, “you already broke the training course! You might want to get out of the way now!”

“Take cover!” shouted Selius.
