I think it was the same one that teleported.

@Sereg They can all cause heart attacks.

Purple ones teleport, Blue ones can turn invisible and green ones can create massive shields.

I can handle all the gore you can throw at me... it's MISERY that I can't stand.

I really don't remember the heart attacks.

But yeah, otherwise there's the fact that the green ones also maintain the telepathy.

EDIT:[up]I'm not a fan of gore, but misery I can cope with depending on my mood.

Huh, I'll ask that then, how often are the characters in PH miserable

I can handle Misery as long as it's balanced by levity

Memory orb as anasthesia - interesting idea.

Mostly when horrific things happen. Blackjack blames herself for a lot of the deaths she was unable to prevent, for one. P-21 deals with constant trauma from many things.

For me the increased darkness is one of the things I don't like about PH. I read it because I enjoy other aspects.

@Ace and how often do horrific things happen? -_-

I can handle all the misery in the world.

It's Body Horror that gets me. Brrrrr....

I can handle misery, I can handle gore. I can't stand misery AS A RESULT OF gore.

Unless it gives me a breather every now and then

So you're perfecty happy reading a story with absolutely NO levity or pleasantness?

Sorry, the concept of that BAFFLES me

I think depressing stuff is fine as long as there's some hope. Even a tiny bit.

That reminds me, I need to get around to reading Project Horizons one of these days.

BTW, is there any version of Fallout2 out there? I'm only asking because I can't see any conceivable way anything resembling Fallout 2's plot would happen after the events of the story.
Spooky.

@nomuru You mean Twist?

@Ace I'm not sure, it may be about what happened last night.

@Purple and that's why I'm worried about PH. Watcher basically just told blackjack that she has absolutely no chance of EVER redeeming herself in chapter 3!!

There's plenty of levity. Blackjack can be hilarious at times. Its dark humor, but still. Like I said, I do find the grimdark aspect unpleasant at times, but I still enjoy the story as a whole.

What I mean by Levity is the characters being NICE to each other. Is there any of THAT?

I have no universal standard for what I can handle. Everything is context based for me.

Oh. Well yeah, the core cast all like each other. P21 is still pissed at Blackjack, but you can tell he does like her but doesn't want to admit it to himself.

@Mio Context is certainly important for me. I just know that I can handle horrifically gruesome things as long as there's some hope to it

If there's not even a tiny glimmer of hope then, yeah, it can feel like the author is just being nasty for the sake of being nasty.

Levity and humour are important, in my opinion.

Wait, in PH. Does Silver Spoon pose any danger beyond her radiation?

There are some glimmers of hope in the despair. Everything Blackjack has done has had positive consequences as well, like improving certain places, making opportunity for other places to recover from the terrible things that have happened, and some of the villains get their comeuppance.

Now watching: Let's Play Order of Ecclesia. Albus is DA MAN.

Wait, why can't Pip just get DJ-Pon3 to send the message to Gawdnya instead?
