PLEASE, keep this story up!!!! NO CUTTING out on us right in the middle like so many other have done

5712090 Do not fret as we shall keep going, though delayed at times due to the scrying of events and inspiration. we ask how thou thought of this one.

I really enjoyed this chapter. It was shocking to see Zecora working as an informant and entertaining to watch Victor deal with Zapp, Filli, and the timberwolves. Lyra was also adorable through the chapter with her eagerness at being Lyrical Silence, her excitement at being hugged by Victor, and getting her first kiss. I also liked Filli's happy attitude when you (author) described and complimented her figure. I really liked the chapter and I hope to see the next one soon.

5712641 We are truly happy for reading these statements, though do take note that things are a 'bit' jumbled though it is still during the 'episodes' just slightly different thou could say due to the 'setting'. though we are glad thou enjoyed such interactions with the beings in our little 'doom's' new home.

5755513 Or it may bring about a better class of criminal depending on things to come.

5755526 Certainly true but , no more than any other fire under someone's behind would make them develop skills and talents to avoid the cell, bullet, or probing ... . Ultimately its more likely to encourage those trying the easier way while still new away from the career path if available, those who have no choice well they get better or fall as sadly is to be expected ( if they go to jail they'll break or harden and learn from those more and less experienced... or well you know).
Ultimately challenge breeds better, you can try to whittle and drive off the numbers so there's less but there's likely always to be some because they have to or they have a reason to. that's really what its about, limiting the candidates for development of skills it wont stop most of the bosses of crime but it'll make manpower more difficult. they'll always improve to try to keep up, but if you can stop and 'encourage' other paths or area's at least of some you'll have less to deal with and if your a ' vigilante hero' you don't have to stop at that and can at least create a established vacuum to use to limit who plays and by what rules. ( always be some trying to take advantage, it in the end is about managing ... a few stronger more isolated may be a lot easier to handle then a city full of developing potential with a goal of surviving you. ... after all you can keep tabs on a few dozen but a few hundred or more you can only be in so many places at once and there's always a blind spot better to minimize it to manage )

also doom can play double rolls limit the crime and take control ... (creates opposition but could help limit what's allowed to at least minimize the particularly bad crime if nothing else, at least when not competing with the rest... I'm sure anyone played saints row 3 or so should understand what happens when things come to blows even if that is extremely exaggerated example its not pretty but streets seemed a lot more peaceful for a while afterwards... till the syndicate ) ( sadly no solution is perfect.)

5763406 *reads over thou in depth comment, then immediately pulls thou into the tightest and inky hug thou hast ever been given.* We love this deeply thought out comment! Thou do understand the potential our doom has, but the question is how will he do so?

5764304 fuck with there profit houses with zecora Intel, then move and start tearing there defense and cash cows up to start a power vac, once gear is sufficient subdue/privately hire a few crims from outside sources to mess with people harmlessly and get powers away or wait till something tears up city and make move. make a bigger move on big crime boss and end him and forcibly take over or hit vital profits and make them attack maybe hit his casino/'s (power it off and tear off the vaults and wreck the slots or something) ... wait in visible place ( for them at least, given they'll have boys and informants all over to find you not going to be hard) and lure them public or area public will come, defeat leave them for police/power's maybe with some incriminating evidence they should have some on them... guns, drugs, phone with number of known criminal elements, ect cripple the organization and make a second move when times right or keep repeating till most of the city belongs to you and people start submitting.

that or play the dark night and mess with criminals while looting them and what they have ( bank robbery a few bills go missing or banks encouraged to hire doom guard 'security' with clause for immediate contract termination on criminal backed/owned banks!) (not publically offered obviously)( why depend on hero's that will put civilians ahead of you and your security when you can have a secret security response from doom guard, after all a earthquake or criminal attacks in nearby civilian area's and most police and the powers wont respond.) from there continue till your ready to make your own nation, and work at making contacts with people looking for a new start and to press the technological/ scientific boundaries. rather then make a move for a city make life harder till criminals agree to terms and if they mess up start breaking em ( they either agree to bar certain criminal actions as acceptable and pay or break and loot em till they break or someone who will does and accepts your terms and starts taking over there weakening controlled territory. Once you got one able to move on, another territory that'll play ball the rest will fall in line to agree so there not at risk from to fronts and risking being consumed or press to much in direct assault offering potential resources on there attacks failure and be consumed and give you a bigger profit margin in the end.) ( just be careful of double cross should you let one get to big an edge on all competition)

and done.

cool

The way you make lyra fan mare over victor fills me with mirth!
