Zero Shock: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Also, there will be BEES.

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: "= Former Fontaine Futuristics, Floor F Fanroom ="

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Musings on what happens if [[Medieval European Fantasy|Halkeginians]] took up arms against [[Bio Punk|Rapture]], fun little omakes of hypothetical situations (such as [[Cool Big Sis|Cattleya]], ''ahem'', [[Not What It Looks Like|'doing the deed']]) a Delta-themed version of [[Shout-Out|Modern]] [[The Pirates of Penzance|Major]] [[Mass Effect 2|General]], limericks dedicated to [[The Messiah|Jack]], [[Con Man|Fontaine]], [[Overprotective Dad|Delta]] and [[She's All Grown Up|Eleanor]] (The first is trumpeting Jack's badass. The latter three each a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] on their own) are all available on the [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=179098 Spacebattles threads].

* [[Bee-Bee Gun]]: OF COURSE! {{spoiler|Jack shoots them at Guiche. The results were subdued (less than five seconds of exposure), but still not very pretty to look at.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: "[[Arc Words|Would]] [[Mind Control|you]] [[Trigger Phrase|kindly...]]"

* [[Bowel-Breaking Bricks]]: Subtle, but there.

{{quote|Guiche's second Valkyrie failed to form past what looked to be a lumpy bronze brick, which dropped to the ground with a heavy thump at his feet.}}

{{quote|'''Salvatore''': They're making [Jack] an honest-to-God messiah down here in the slums, and once someone breaks that pedestal, all hell is going to break loose, and we are going to be in the center of it all when the shit hits the fan... and they're gonna blame everyone.}}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: A literal [[Leeroy Jenkins]] is killed repeatedly (sometimes accidentally), only to be revived via Vita-Chamber to continue on with experiments to try and bring back Jack.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: Siesta. After she is first introduced, we glimpse her mind as a trashy romance novel filled with [[Purple Prose]].

* [[Daddy's Girl]]: The Little Sisters are so attached to Jack, and so cared for by him that they go into an absolute ''panic'' when they realize that he isn't there.

* [[Defensive What]]: Jack blurts out one of these when he sees the reaction of the people at Old Osmond's office when he tells them he's not a noble.

* [[Face Palm]]: Practically a staple reaction of Jack to the ''[ZnT'' crew's antics.

* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Halkeginia is a world on the doorstep of the Renaissance and contains magic (and magical creatures related to such a setting). It has also been crossed over with [[Bioshock]], known to have at least taken things from {{spoiler|[[Halo]] and [[Pokémon]]}} and possibly others... well, you'd expect this trope.

{{quote|“What.” No question mark. It was just a flat statement on Jack's part.}}

* [[Fridge Horror]]: In-universe with Louise, who realizes that not only does Jack have family, she took him away from them.

* [[The Quiet One]]: Jack isn't totally silent, but still displays economy of words. So far, his longest speech is six words long.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: Siesta's aforementioned trashy fantasies get a different font.

** [[Hypocritical Humor|“Can. You. Just. Stop. It. With. The. One. Word. Sentences!?”]]

* [[Raised by Wolves|Raised In Rapture]]: Jack doesn't understand the concept of "dueling", and attempts to brain Guiche with a wrench as soon as the challenge has been made.

* [[The Silent Bob]]: Jack doesn't really need to talk to be expressive; see [[Face Palm]] above. It's actually one of the reasons he gets along so well with Tabitha.

* [[Squee]]: Done by Siesta when Jack thanks her for the bread.

{{quote|Floating continent?! The splicer tried to wrap his head around the concept of a floating city. Sure, Rapture was a bizarre place on its own, but it still had a foundation! It was at the bottom of the sea, rather than in the freaking sky!}}

* [[Terse Talker]]: Jack and Tabitha barely speak more than one word each time they open their mouths. When they have their first conversation, which Kirche states to be the longest conversation Tabitha's had with anyone ever, it's entirely done with one-word sentences.

{{quote|[Siesta's] life was not like ''[[Shout-Out|A Country Maid in the]] [[The Hill of Swords|Hall of the Duke'']]! This would end badly, no matter what those romance novels had said! She lived in reality, dammit!}}

* [[Who's on First?]]: Louise doesn't understand what's so special about killing [[King Mook|Big Daddies]].
