Never going to stop.

Can't blame a boy for trying.

Noel buying time for Noah

The simple reason is that's not Chernyl, but the way he phrased it implies he couldn't stop her, not that she is absent. Also, it wouldn't explain Noah being missing if it wasn't Chernyl.

36489: Frozenstep - Wednesday, May 3 2023 - 7:01 PM

This nightmare is far too intelligent to let an Esper who could potentially stop Chernyl actually get into any position to pull it off. Fake Chernyl, or maybe Chernyl is already dead and the nightmare has figured out a way to sustain the power...this is pretty bad.

Okay yeah, Noah is definitely already in Chernyl's mind; he's no longer in sight and he'd have had no reason to crawl past her- well, not unless he was trying to get into Nail or Veda's mind or something, but that would require he actually get up, so no. Since I can't really imagine Noah's journey through Chernyl's mind being completely free of obstacles even though Chernyl presumably bears him no personal ill will, I assume we'll be seeing it, but given we're still focused here, maybe that really is just going to be passed over? Or we'll switch over when Hallowman here realizes he's seemingly vanished from existence; hard to really say.

Noel can't stop Chernyl? I wonder if Evyle could stop Chernyl... or if Chernyl is uniquely "not really counterable by espers".

36492: random - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 1:02 AM

Okay, Noah. Any seconds now ... Don't feel pressured to do something...

He has not been seen ever since the cat-astrophy. I wonder where he is.

Cheryl died a long time ago...

36495: Eight - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 3:13 AM

Well, Mr. Hallowman appears to be quite talkative, so, Noel, nicely ask him to explain what/why with his last sentence. [Buying time for whom, now?]

36496: Chameon - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 5:30 AM

I mean. Noel already stated that he can't mess with nightmares after they've been manifested, even if they're magical constructs, unless they are personally capable of magic. The best Noel could do around Chernyl would be to negate her from making new nightmares. Which means the only way Noel could have stopped Chernyl would have been to stop her before any of the nightmares that were nonmagical and a threat were to come out. He was nowhere near her at the time, so yeah, he's turning off the water main when the house is already flooded. Important to do, valuable action! But ultimately irrelevant to the current problems, and with a major nightmare standing right next to him...he's basically dead.

Of course he bends his neck like an owl.

36498: UnknownID - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 11:37 AM

You never know for sure until you try it out!

And of course a nightmare would say that! Especially, if Noel's abilities were able to stop Chernyl!

36499: Zyzyzyryxy - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 11:52 AM

A being capable of regrowing one's limbs and organs, keeping them alive no matter how much punishment they receive? I see what the Empire is interested in here - a recipe for an army of undefeatable soldiers...

36500: Ajonos - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 3:57 PM

@Chameon Agreed, but I'd also like to mention that Noel has mentioned that he can't disable powers that are too chaotic.

Chernyl's power seems to be as chaotic as they come.

36501: Whispers of Sorrow - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 8:30 PM

It does seem that Gazz had the right idea, Chernyl is just too *powerful* to take alive - it simply can't be done.

Of course, if you happen to be a mask capable wish maker, this should be a crawl in the park.

@Flairina: Chernyl's tortured psyche may actually be the safest place in Haven: Hell is empty and all the demons are here.

@Random: The Dead Kid's actually been seen in the background lying roughly where Noel's arm now rests (Page 3059). So he's definitely moved, the question is, to where?

36502: megahellreaper - Thursday, May 4 2023 - 9:23 PM

We should note that while Hallowman felt no need to stop Noel's attempts at getting to Chernyl, he did go out of his way to stop Nail. Ergo, black crystal works, esper powers don't, probably. No idea as to why or how that would be the case, but I digress.
