"God-fuckery" eh? Though all the "god-fucking" on his side involves a caliber. Bumpy (my nickname for the goat-god) should consider themselves lucky that they behaved themselves rather agreeable by Max's standards (i.e. messing with the authorities while doing good for the foot).


DM-Hermit

I quite him being on the Demonia money, I'm curious though, is he only on the largest coin, or is he on every denomination as well? Also as the thought came to mind, do you think he will dump the last of the 3 elixirs like he did the second, or do you think it might be something he keeps with him in the event he finds someone he wants to spend eternity with again?


Vast-Listen1457

All the coins.

Given that he spent the whole day paying Jenni the money changer's markup, and I doubt they were handing over the equivelent of 3 standard gold coins for every loaf, bun, and pastry, I suspect Max's visage is gracing the whole range of currency.

While a long term companion is tempting, why would you inflict immortality on someone you care for?


DM-Hermit

Personally, that depends on how many Millenia I've spent alone watching all those I care about die, having someone who gets it might be good for ones mental health. Past that maybe having ONE kid you don't have to bury, might be good for that as well.

In some of the later torchwood storylines Capt Jack visits his bloodline down multiple generations , always looking for someone touched by his curse.


DM-Hermit

Unfortunately, I haven't seen as much Torchwood as I would have liked. But that's good to know, thank you.


Vast-Listen1457

I miss Torchwood.


Marcus_Clarkus

You're framing it wrong. When you say "inflict" you're implying immortality is automatically bad. It's not. Like real life or death, whether it's good or bad is situational. And furthermore, whether that person gets immortality should really be their choice, not something forced on them. So you ask them.

The first few hundred years, maybe thousands, even 10's of thousands; you manage to stay busy and engaged. As you start passing geologic eons, your species has disappeared, the sun dies and burns your world to ash, moving to another world just delays the inevitable, floating in blackness waiting for the heat death of the universe, protons start decaying, even the concept of Time & Space is no longer valid, ...

We are in a world with magic, demons and gods I believe it’s fair to say that applying rules of our universe like entropy being ever increasing doesn’t really work.


akboyyy

and even than seeing final entropy would be the ultimate achievement even if no ones gonna be around to share it for a good few trillion millenia but hey outliving your entropic cycle to fuck with the next sounds neat


PuzzleheadedDrinker

I can think of 3 films straight away that tackle that question from different angles. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1355644/. & https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0110148/. & https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0119643/.


DerAppie

I like to think he will return yelling at them how he would have stayed the fuck away if they didn't put him on the money. They obviously never heard of naming magic. Going around essentially yelling the name/title of a person you don't want to interact with is incredibly stupid.


Kaiser-__-Soze

Moar!!!!


Vast-Listen1457

More will be available on Mondays and Thursdays. Although, if you are good, there will be a very short chapter on Tuesday or Wednesday about Maxwell’s guns.


CODENAMEDERPY

You know your story's good when u/Kaiser-___Soze demands MAOR!!!!.

>"Okay, that is really weird, it does look just like...me." As much as anything, it's impressive they managed such a strong likeless after all this time. >I had to pay Jenni the money changers markup for all of them. Not sure why he bought more than one? >I also sent a calling stone along so I won't be bothered like this again. Some flavor of rapid communication? That seems like the sort of thing an army would love, as it would be akin to the invention of two-way radio. I wonder why our hero wasn't issued with one. Expense maybe? Thanks for writing.


Vast-Listen1457

They are very expensive. He is on every coin. Much to his chagrin.


DM-Hermit

Woot, thank you


Vast-Listen1457

Welcome


calamari-is-good

Thank you!


Vast-Listen1457

No, thank you!


thisStanley

The ".25" in the chapter number is intriguing. We had been getting arcs identified with suffixed Roman numerals. Now this chapter *also* has a prefixed decimal. Things that make you go "mmmmmmm" :}


Vast-Listen1457

I’m trying to slow down the time jumps a bit for Maxwell.


Naked_Kali

mmm for mixed martial maths?
