Note that besides capturing Clare (a legitimate target, since she’s no innocent bystander but had fully thrown in her lot with Railrunner and his murderous posse), Ironwheel has not actually caused any property damage. All the damage during the chase had been inflicted by Railrunner and gang. JosephWongKS fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Jun 30, 2013 |

I know I'm a bit late to the game on this, but here's my interpretation of Detective Black: His nose has that bump in it from being broken so many times it didn't ever heal right. He's very tired of this poo poo, as you can see.

Chapter 64 – Proportionate Part Two quote:
No, that was not a typo. Railrunner asked Thunderbark to promise to “not” catch Clare. Railrunner actively wants Clare to be brought to near-death so that he can transform her into a roller-coaster without her knowledge or consent. quote:
I’m not sure about whether love “never truly is broken apart”, but I do know that “love” isn’t a mass murderer forcing a roller-coaster transformation onto a dying, half-conscious woman. quote:
Railrunner knows all about the goodness “in them”, having made a study of the innards of the many humans he’s eviscerated in the course of his multiple rampages across Huntersberg / burg / ville. quote:
Railrunner still has not told her his plans or gotten her consent thereto. quote:
Fourth time that Clare has been described as “frail”.

quote:I could only watch as he suspended Clare in midair by the collar on the back of her jacket. One by one, his wheels came off the purple fabric. With one last yank, Clare detached from him, beginning her fall, to her death. All the tension was defused like three chapters before it ever had a chance to rise. Even before we get up the tower we know that Railrunner's going to bait Ironwheel into dropping her and then let the woman he claims to love smash on the pavement for his own benefit and then she'll be transformed into a roller coaster. If at least her death didn't need to be part of the transformation and Railrunner was rushing to bite her before she died completely that would at least be something. Though let's be honest, if Clare's death wasn't an integral part of it Railrunner would have done it straight away. quote:Finally, I thought, we were balanced. gently caress this entire book. gently caress it sideways with a running chainsaw.

Oblivion4568238 posted:So, in review, I have two complaints about your writing. One is a mild general issue, and one is a specific point that you messed up. Actually that one specific point is, as you supposed, me missing that line when editing in a perspective switch. That scene was originally supposed to be from Freak Show's perspective, hanging out on the ceiling. Then it was Iron Wheel's. Then I decided third person was best and wasn't quite as thorough on my second pass. And that "but" was supposed to be a "so", but it it could have been better written from the start, yeah.. And run run on sentences are a constant problem with me. Many were culled in the writing of that post. After a while I was kinda running out of steam and missed a few key points, too. (How, when mistreated, conditionless love can turn into abject hatred. Like Freakshow. Or that the "suffering" requirement of the coasterfication process was the suffering already induced by Rail Runner.) DicktheCat posted:Oh, yeah, Rex, I don't want to seem like I'm jumping on you, since Oblivionlotsanumbers gave you some critique, but I want to point out a grammar thing. Eh it's no problem, if I didn't want feedback I wouldn't have posted it. I'm not one of those thin skinned DA goers who thinks my stuff is beyond critique. I was more worried I was just making GBS threads up the thread with it and being ignored, than anything. Glad it was well received. To be honest you two, that's about as much as I can squeeze out of this setting without rewriting it entirely. I was considering a screenplay, but I can't think of a single actor enough to play Detective Black. Or enough of a monster to play Rail Runner. Or anyone willing to sacrifice their career getting even near this crap. Anyway, Thanks for the critique. I appreciate it.

Part 1 I'm in the hands of a black roller coaster car on top of a clock tower, like the dumbest King Kong ripoff in the world. The black roller coaster is roaring at me and my red roller coaster boyfriend is roaring at him to put me down. Okay, maybe I need to explain a few things. Rodney was a decent guy. Maybe a little shy, a little too into amusement parks, but there wasn't anything really wrong with him. He didn't seem interested when I told him about the classes I was taking, but he didn't seem that interested in his own life. He was still nice enough, though. I figured he was just a bit detached. And then I saw him turn into a roller coaster. There's really no way to warm up to that. He turned into a roller coaster and went on a killing spree in the middle of a date. The next day he showed up at my house with a whole load of bullshit about his true self and his real name and that he couldn't, but I'm not dumb. I went straight for the silverware and jammed a knife into his chest, but turns out werewolf rules don't work on roller coasters. I had a boyfriend with a knife in his chest and he wasn't hurt and I'd just seen him become a murderous theme park ride last night. What was I supposed to do? I apologized. Maybe I should have gotten the police to help. Maybe I should have just dumped him and booked it. But I was scared, so I did what he wanted. When he wanted me to help hide him, I did. When he asked me if I loved him, I said of course. Then came the Huntersberg Massacre. I was there for the real thing, before the FBI sanitized the reports. It was devastation in a way the papers couldn't even tell. But after the dust settled and they searched through all the wreckage, all I could think was that he was gone. He was gone and I didn't have to be afraid. I could focus on class again. I started working on a research project with one of my professors. The world didn't want to make sense, but I would make it make sense again. I even started dating again. And then Rodney came back. I had to call him Railrunner or he would get angry. I had to tell him I loved him or he'd threaten to bite me. I had to stall him. I sent a message to Captain Vick, and the police were there in record time, but even with all that time preparing, they couldn't stop him. And Rodney said he'd be back. He was. He said I was in danger from some big bad evil roller coaster and he had to protect me. I had to leave, to come with him, first to a friend's cabin, then to a factory where he used to work. He wanted to give me rides and have me lay on his stomach and made me eat whatever food the silver roller coaster wanted to make. He wanted me to tell him I'd love him forever and I'd be with him forever. He asked me about being a roller coaster and I gave him some bullshit 'I'd be purple' answer. My favorite color is green. Not that Rodney would know that. Turns out the big bad evil roller coaster is real. Rodney rushed off to fight him, got his rear end kicked, and then the evil coaster came for me. Honestly, he's more civil than Rodney, but that doesn't make much difference when I'm being dangled by roller-coaster-wheel-fingers. And now we're back to where I started. The panicked look in Rodney's eyes is almost sad if I try to blot out all the bodies I saw him leave in his wake. Maybe it could have worked out without the roller coaster stuff happening. The detective had told me something when I had gone in for questioning—that Rodney had snapped, he was all predator inside. I think that's not entirely true, but whatever isn't predator in there isn't what I liked about him. The black roller coaster holds me by my collar with his wheels. I've put up with days of getting fondled by those wheel-fingers of Rodney's and I still don't get how they work anatomically. Maybe I should have gone into med school, I think for a brief moment, before the monumental stupidity of all this crashes around me again. They're roller coasters. It's down to two of those dumb wheel-fingers holding me up. I'm going to die because of roller coasters. I'm hanging off of one of the wheels. Below me on one side is the black roller coaster's train, another side the clocktower, and the ground below. The wheel slips. I'm plummeting. I don't want to die. “Railrunner!” I belt out at the top of my lungs. He's psycho-husband crazy about me. He'll catch me. He has to catch me. But I can see him hesitate, like he wants me to fall. rear end in a top hat. Falling takes a lot less longer than I'd think. Ground, even with picnic-ready park grass, is harder than I'd like. I can't tell how many things broke but I'm in so much pain I can barely think. Adrenaline rushes in and numbs me. It takes dying to finally wrest some courage out of me. I'm ready. Of course I have regrets, but it's time to go. And at the very least, it'll get me away from Rodney. Living isn't worth being stuck with a horny, abusive, magic roller coaster boyfriend. Something pushes its way into my face. It's hard to see but that big red snout is pretty obvious. If I blink a bit I can make out his big puppy-roller-coaster eyes. I feel bad for him, against every fiber of my dying being. He doesn't deserve my kindness, but I'm too nice. I give him what he wants. Maybe the good karma will help wherever I'm going. “Railrunner,” I say. That name will never not be hilarious. The air is leaving my lungs but it's not going back in. Good thing, or I might chuckle. “Yes, Clare?” he asks. “I love you,” I lie. That's it. ...ouch.

Part 2 Did he just bite me? Come on, Rodney, mourn for, like, five seconds so I can die in peace. I try to relax, but I can't sink back down. It burns like motor oil on an open wound, spreading from my neck down my arms and into my chest. My bones scrape back into place with the sound of a fingernail dragged across brushed steel. Blood vessels repair themselves with the tiny crackling of rice cereal. My skin starts to go. It's turning hard, like leathery hide, but somehow flexible despite its metallic appearance. Blunt blades jab against my back and I reflexively tense my muscles. Every pinprick of a budding bone digs against the inside of my flesh. A second pair of arms, covered in my new hide, stretches out to both sides of me. I have to repeat the process again, growing another extra pair of shoulders and arms and hands. If I'd gone to med school I would be furious right now. I never thought of vertebrae as individual bones. But once they start fusing together, and once they spread outward and grow huge cavities, stretching my body out like a rubber band—then I really notice my vertebrae. I want to reach behind my back and tug and grasp at the giant, gaping holes opening and the pairs of spiny growths jutting from them. I flop onto my stomach as my skull became like molten glass. It stretches and warps and pulls forward and I think my skin might burst but it's becoming that hardened, flexible, paradoxical metal-like material. And it's purple. gently caress. I know what's happening to me. My eyes shoot open. I have to close them immediately as the flood of colors overflows the spectrum I'm used to. Smells leap out at me, plowing into my mind harder than the pain of having half the bones in my body broken and mended. I reach back, hands unsteady, and grasp where my hair should be. My wheel-fingers dig into a pair of my cushioned headrests. I know they're mine because I can feel my wheels squeezing against them. I try to speak but all that comes out is a roar. My mouth is different and squared off and full of this lizard tongue and big fangs that are hard to work around. Rodney looks at me. He's so happy to see me alive it makes me sick. “Clare?” he says. He wouldn't like what I try to say, but again, I can only roar. And then bad goes to worse. There's a voice in my head. I can feel the borders of where it sits in my mind, back among my distant memories. It's saying how much it loves Rodney. It calls him Railruner. It's saying it wants to be with him forever. It calls itself Shadowtrack. No, I'm not letting this happen. The instincts to fight come easily now, even though my body is strange, even though I can still feel bursts of pain each time a new car adds itself to my train. I've got to be thirty feet long now. All it takes is an urge to fight, and I'm already coiling, ready to strike. Claws burst out of the wheels on my hands. I curl my finger and bare my fangs menacingly. Rodney looks scared—good. I'm going to tear him apart for what he's done to me, my life, and my hometown. My eyes snap up to the moon and suddenly Shadowtrack's voice in my head is louder. My body locks up. I tumble over onto the ground, kicking and thrashing as much as my cars will allow. The whole length of my train writhes like a worm on a hot grill. My feet—christ, how many of those do I have?—tear at the ground. “I love Railrunner and I want to have his baby and I want to rub up against him and have him stroke me and he's the best and maybe I can even get pregnant and we can be king and queen of Amusement Park Between forever as long as I do what he says because he always knows better than me!” No, let me at him, you bitch! He doesn't deserve his perfect purple love-coaster. He deserves to die for what he did to me, let alone what he did to my town. Let me go! A roar escapes my lips and anger like I've never known floods through me. I grasp toward Rodney with my claws but I can't reach him. “Be quiet, dumb human. Roller coaster love is pure and eternal and nothing can keep me apart from Railrunner!” The silver one says something about a curse. I'm beginning to realize what the curse is. My body stops responding. The curse isn't just becoming the coaster. It's having to watch yourself become the coaster. I stand up, but it's not me. It isn't my words coming out of my mouth. I act like I don't know what's happened, then I'm gushing at Rodney and hugging him and I want to tear his throat out but Shadowtrack is squeezing me back into that corner of my mind. Maybe the same thing happened to him. Maybe Rodney, the real Rodney, is probably in that big red bastard's head somewhere. Maybe he's screaming just as hard as I am. I hope he is. I'm just along for the ride now. And roller coasters are immortal, so it's going to be a long ride. Djeser fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jul 1, 2013 |

I am going to go and watch the next part of the LP by youreviltwin of the 2009 Wulfenstein game.

According to Miranda's DeviantartArt journal, she's rereleasing the book with her current style of artwork and writing this summer. However, she's said that she's not changing the story. So with better art and possibly better writing depicting its terrible plot, there's a chance that the book might actually sucker some people into liking it. And, of course, there's the coming sequel, Vertigo. But having read it with different eyes, we will always know.

Chapter 65 - Ruler of the Rails Part One quote:
Amusement Park needs Railrunner as much as a fish needs a bicycle made of cyanide and covered with live plastic explosives. quote:
The world is made cruel by Railrunner’s very existence. quote:
“I can’t let Ironwheel enslave the humans and the rides, because I’m going to enslave them.” quote:
The lives of the people be butchered, the dignity of Static and Railrunner, the career of Buddy, the free will and agency of Clare - hasn’t Railrunner always just taken what he wants with no questions asked? quote:
“Women, am I right? So frivolous they can’t bring themselves to be serious even in life and death situations.” quote:
Railrunner literally does not give a drat that he’s “created a Fallen”. This is the absolute worst system of reincarnation you can come up with. Your first life is ended in neglect or abuse, and in your next life you are maligned and discriminated against simply due to the circumstances of your birth, through no fault of your own at all. Also, Railrunner is a massive hypocrite. In Chapter 47, he said that “There was also a predatory instinct, making [him] lick [his] lips when [he] saw blood, laugh when [he] saw [his] enemy’s death. Why? Was there something wrong with [him]? Couldn’t be, [he] was the way [he] was because [he] was born and not built.” Wouldn’t the same grounds for exoneration apply to the Fallen as well? quote:
I hope the Amusement Park Between incarnation of this ferris wheel absolutely wrecks Railrunner in the next week. quote:
Ironic, in view of Railrunner’s deliberate creation of a Fallen.

quote:His plan was to reach his full potential and dominate the citizens in the real world. He would then transport them to Amusement Park Between to use them as slaves as well as the rides. He would even create a new army. Guess what Miranda has forgotten? A MacGuffin element that every ride, and only rides, has to have on them in order to get across! Humans don't get across if they don't have the MacGuffin! It's a silly thing to get worked over given the whole slew of inaccuracies and plot holes and the conflicting information in the book, but when I read this first it's what nearly got me to just stop reading it. I hope everyone remembers the next deus ex machina that will appear in this chapter.

gently caress I hate Railrunner. Especially when he tries to verbally spar with someone. Ironwheel is awesome, channeling Liquid's "BRRRROOOOOOOOOOTTTTHHHHHEEEEERRRRRRR!!!" speech. And is it just me or was the who Ferris Wheel thing completely pointless? Railrunner just created a Fallen for no reason.

I don't know whether to be happy that this book is ending, or sad that it hasn't ended yet. My days are dimmer for knowing it exists. JWKS, you took away a part of me that I can never get back.
