Erm... wat?Kyeudo said:Jukashi bats a 1.00 whenever he pulls out the prose. Yes, I realize that is impossible in real baseball.
Of course. That's why Thrice-Radiant Misho kicked reason to the curb and went beyond the impossible!merle said:That...isn't that impossible, even for Exalted?I remember something about him using his own lower soul as one of the materials for the sword.
Sadly, he remembers all that stuff as well. His ignorance is still sacrificed (remember how he kept his sorcerous/necromantic initiations?). Perhaps, with a reduced Great Curse, he's not quite as impelled to be so tireless and reclusive, but there's no going back for him.merle said:That was a lovely read - and I keep forgetting that "impossible" just means "takes a bit of creative thinking" in Exalted. Here's hoping Misho has learned from his first incarnation's mistakes...
Without knowing the first thing about baseball, I would guess it's a hit ratio. 1.000 would mean 100% hits, or at least so few misses that it doesn't show in the 3rd decimal.Kyeudo said:Jukashi bats a 1.00 whenever he pulls out the prose.

Erm... wat?
The phrase "Batting 1000" means you're not missing anything. This is because in baseball batting averages is expressed as a ratio (Hits/Total At Bats), meaning that it goes from 1.000 (theoretically) to 0.000. People read it off without the decimal, so it someone is batting 900, they hit 9 times out of 10 at bats. At least, that is what I understand based on cultural osmosis and having seen one game of minor league baseball.Weimann said:Without knowing the first thing about baseball, I would guess it's a hit ratio. 1.000 would mean 100% hits, or at least so few misses that it doesn't show in the 3rd decimal.

Still diffusion. Osmosis is a very specific diffusion of water.Brickwall said:Osmosis is perfectly applicable there. The concentration of baseball knowledge outside Kyeudo was greater than the concentration of baseball knowledge inside Kyeudo. Therefore...

Bit more research suggests specifically any solvent. So my A-level Chemistry teacher lied to me, the evil old coot.jeriausx said:Actually osmosis can be applied to any liquid not just water. Also, in the context, osmosis would be an appropriate analogy. So, both work.
That's standard issue for high school at least. Most of the stuff there still works in principle, but you don't have any real accuracy from it.chalicier said:Bit more research suggests specifically any solvent.

In your chemistry teacher's defense, it's hard to image a liquid which couldn't be a solvent of something.chalicier said:Bit more research suggests specifically any solvent.

She could have a knack for causing horrible, bloody explosions.Kyeudo said:Looks like Secret actually has a knack for Water Dragon Style. How many first timers can blow up a pig with a finger poke?
