I know that it is unlikely for you to make a new Pokemorph (as you discussed below), but, out curiosity, if you were to, which Pokemon would you choose for the morph?



I know it's pointless speculation, but still.



Well, actually, speculation isn't quite the right word, but I think you know what I was trying to say.

Nice extra. Dave and Mia's conversations are interesting. =3



Out of curiosity, this scene takes place before Brian is killed, right? Dave's reluctance to continue talking because it upsets him is ironic.

No, Will couldn't have turned badass and hurt his siblings because he didn't have claws or significantly sharp teeth. Morphic is not a wish-fulfillment fantasy. It's about eight Pokémorphs who are very screwed up and have very screwed up lives. The only reason I would ever write him hurting his siblings into the story would be if I thought that would have interesting awful consequences.



There is no point in a new Pokémorph, either. Eight is already many enough to be quite difficult to deal with; adding another one just for the hell of it would be silly (and pointless; the only reason I'd add a new character is if there were a serious gap that needed a new character to fill it).

And yet he could have turned badass and hurt his siblings, much like Gabriel. I imagine him goring his siblings with newly-found claws or teeth. Additionally, how about a new pokemorph, maybe one with Gible DNA (maybe?)

Sorry, but no.



1. Will could never play Peter's role in chapter 13, because Will can't dodge bullets.

2. If you meant merely switching which of them actually dies, Will is a better character to kill than Peter exactly because he is so completely powerless. Having him standing around the entire chapter and surviving it would just result in his presence feeling extraneous and his survival unrealistic, whereas killing him is that much more heartbreaking because he should never have been there in the first place. Peter made himself useful; if he died it would be a heroic sacrifice. The whole point of Will's death was that it was utterly pointless, and that's what hits Jack the heaviest. Peter dying would not have the same impact in this regard.

3. The only one of the villains who would make any sort of a sick pun is Isaac, who doesn't actually get there until after Will and Peter have both been taken out. The others were all nervous, frantic and had no idea what they were doing - not exactly conductive to puns. Rearranging the situation heavily just so the villain can be in a position to make a pun is not something I do, largely because I dislike puns.

4. What does it honestly change that your favorite character died? It's the second-to-last chapter of the fic; if he'd lived it would only have meant one extra scene for him (and probably a rather depressing one at that, since his life sucks and his siblings hate him and unfortunately a brush with death wouldn't change that). If you want to imagine he didn't die, be my guest, but I don't see how it would help you any if the rewrite changed it, honestly.

Butterfree, if you do a rewrite of Morphic, could you switch the end roles of Peter and Will? Will is my favorite, and he's about as pointless as Peter. I find it odd that you did not have Peter die and therefore have had a chance of making one of the villians say a sick pun about shooting a bird - I would have jumped at the chance, personally.

I didn't need to do anything, I just tried again and it worked. Must have been a bug on my end.



I do find it amusing that in the Morphic world Mia, a scyther morph, cannot comprehend wanting to commit suicide while in the Quest For Legends world that suicide is one of the biggest themes for scyther. I realize they're too completely different worlds, and it was more Scyther culture than Scyther instinct as evidenced by Scyther not wanting to commit suicide, but even so I think it's an amusing contrast.

fffff that was great fun to read. Mia's take on suicide was really interesting to read about. I love this series so much.

Is it just me, or is the text file full of that odd black questionmark block?

I realize there was a leak and the fact it's proved accurate so far means it's highly likely to be accurate about the rest, but I'm not putting names on here until they're officially confirmed, as a matter of policy.

Vulpix, I'd have to agree with Butterfree. The best possible thing to do in this situation is to throw that idea out the window like a hot potato. If you do, then you won't feel bad about it crashing and burning.
