Aegis BOT 05-Apr-21 10:01 PM

"You said your minions have their own names, right? Do they have a collective name?"

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 10:25 PM

its a nice little mini community thing

im still trying to think of whether or not we can use the bugsnax theme song somehow

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 10:50 PM

Ha.

I'm almost tempted.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 10:51 PM

if they ever start talking about a cartoon, you know what to do. just immediately

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 10:51 PM

I guess so.

Or even a live action show.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 10:52 PM

i could see a live action show happening

god dammit bugsnax dancing to the theme song is a fucking memetic hazard

lol

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 10:53 PM

Speaking of, it's time for me to go to Image.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 10:54 PM

expect someone to hug you

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 10:54 PM

Apparently, I'll be in a video conference with one of the higher-ups in the image department.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 10:54 PM

oh, glenn chambers?

frankly you're possibly one of the most marketable superheroes ever, period, so i wouldnt be shocked if it was that guy

I guess so.

Well, the meeting's about to start.

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 10:59 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:03 PM

if only he knew about bugsnax: the video game

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:04 PM

"Heck, you might even go in some textbooks."

"Thing is, since you already have a set theme, there's just one outlier."

"You."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:05 PM

yeah, youre probably gonna get coached on pr friendly terms

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:05 PM

"But that's what we're here for, to make you a great costume and train you to make the most of what your power's given you."

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:05 PM

"Right."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:06 PM

"First things first. How have you been using your bugsnax in fights?"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:07 PM

mostly like cannon fodder to try and hijack villains, make em stand down, though occasionally as scouts. also used one to heal battery, but that was an emergency (edited)

hopefully you can train em up to be more combat-talented

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:08 PM

"Usually as cannon fodder, for distractions or feeding villains."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:08 PM

the ambush by shadow stalker showed they had the potential there

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:08 PM

"I also use them to look around."

"They can also hold their own in a fight if need be."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:09 PM

"Do you make distinctions between the ones you sacrifice and the ones you don't?"

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:09 PM

"Mostly by how good they are in a fight."

"The kweebles - these ones -"

Kweeble BOT 05-Apr-21 11:10 PM

"Kweeb!"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:10 PM

hi kweeble

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:11 PM

"They'd be the first to go. I'd save the stronger ones like the Scorpenyo and the Scoopy Banoopy for as long as I could."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:11 PM

"Well, good to know you have at least some prioritising."

"Lesson 1: You can't market a bugsnak that died and isn't coming back."

"Keep one of each species safe."

"That way, the kids who see you on TV are going to want to buy the Kweeble plushies as well as the Scoopy Banoopy ones."

"Got it?"

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:13 PM

"I'd still prioritise the useful ones in a serious fight, right?"

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:13 PM

"Only in a very serious fight."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:14 PM

thankfully, you've managed to do that more or less, though without the lung incident thatd be tricky

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:14 PM

"Why? I'd rather make a difference than be marketable."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:14 PM

"Snaktooth, Snaktooth, Snaktooth."

"Those two things are more similar than you'd think."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:15 PM

part of the deal with being a hero is optics. if you get a fuckton done but nobody hears about you, it'll be that much easier to undo your work

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:15 PM

"When you sell a plushie, where do you think the funds go?"

"Some go to you, certainly, and some cover the costs of materials, but the rest go into the PRT and Protectorate."

"By being marketable, you'd be getting the heroes better equipment to get stronger long-term."

"If it comes down to the wire and you need to lose unique bugsnax to save lives, then fine, if you must."

"But in any other situation, the long term benefits are going to be better than the short term ones."

"Besides, if you have one less fodder bug of each type in a fight, what's the big loss?"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:18 PM

if you manage to always keep one of each bugsnax alive, the villains may not know the exact number of bugsnax you have at a given moment, sewing confusion for them due to the marketing machine pumping out dozens of kweeble plushies when in reality you may have only like. one

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:18 PM

That too.

"I think I'm starting to get your point."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:19 PM

"Excellent."

"Now, onto the next thing. How you present yourself."

"Obviously, we're going to need to match your aesthetic to the bugsnax', which means you're going to need to look and act a bit silly."

"Your current hoodie and bodysuit combo is a good look, but it's just a bit too... hmm... urban, I suppose would be the word."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:21 PM

why not something tropical?

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:21 PM

"My first thought was a snack food-themed queen."

"A Burger Queen, if you will."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:22 PM

i

well it fits, youre the queen of all bugsnax

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:22 PM

"But at the end of the day, you have the last say on your costume."

"I can only suggest things to you, in the end."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:23 PM

bugsnax queen is a good idea, i think, might add some degree of seriousness despite the silly nature

im trying to think of how to pitch the tropical factor, since that might add some mystique to the comedy

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:24 PM

"Maybe something with a bit of tropical flair?"

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:25 PM

"Hmm, a bit of Hawaiian flair? I can see it, I can see it."

"You were able to make that bodysuit from scratch, yeah?"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:25 PM

fryder silk, ye

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:26 PM

"Fryder silk. Comes in yellow and red, but it smells like fries or ketchup, depending."

"I don't have the spider silk to compare it to, but it's tough enough that normal scissors can't cut it."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:27 PM

"Oh, that's very nice. We'll want to be incorporating some of that, then."

"In fact, your bodysuit as it is would be a good costume liner, both for comfort and armor."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:28 PM

oh, hell yea! recycling hoooo

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:33 PM

"Oh good, I was worried my effort would be for nothing."

"It didn't take too long to make, but I had more fryders back then."

"Actually, I was going to ask someone, but would there be more potential uses for fryder silk?"

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:34 PM

"If it's as tough as you say, and you can produce it fast enough, then I don't see why not."

"We'd need a way to hide the color and scent, but aside from that..."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:35 PM

Bleach?

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:36 PM

I mean, if the yellow coloring is due to some natural dye, then it could work.

"Great! It seems tough enough that I felt like it could be some help."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:38 PM

"Just so long as people don't start talking about how everyone smells like fries now."

"So, that leaves how you conduct yourself."

"You'll probably be playing a hammier persona, pun intended."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:41 PM

may need to mention a good thorough coaching on this part - master trigger, isolation, well outside your forte

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:41 PM

"Ham, cheese, and food puns are going to be your best tools here."

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:41 PM

"I'm... not the best at people skills, so I might want coaching for this."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:41 PM

"Of course, of course."

"You know, it's not often that someone asks for coaching themselves. I wonder why?"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:42 PM

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:43 PM

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:43 PM

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:44 PM

you're probably gonna wanna hang out with clockblocker for puns and stuff, in your spare time

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:44 PM

"Well, either way, you'll learn how to play a part."

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:45 PM

Good idea.

Plus, whatever this is lets me think faster, so if I ever need to think of a pun on the fly, I can just use this.

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:47 PM

When I have some spare time, maybe.

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:48 PM

"Well, I think that about wraps things up."

"That covers pretty much everything I wanted to say."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:49 PM

it's been a pretty pleasant chat. should we keep image updated with the current bugsnax roster, is someone else gonna be doin that, is there a separate marketing department, etc?

cause youre getting new ones on a nightly basis

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:49 PM

Right.

"Who should I tell when I get more bugsnax? I've been getting more of them nightly, recently."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:51 PM

"I assume you'll be made to log them in the PRT's file system, so marketing will be able to get info from there."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:51 PM

that works

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:52 PM

"Okay, got it."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:52 PM

"Fantastic."

"Any last questions? Thoughts?"

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:53 PM

"I don't want any kind of sexy costume. That's a no-go for me."

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:53 PM

"We can accommodate for that, don't worry."

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:53 PM

Any questions?

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:55 PM

hmm... if you get any snax that make good resources for your costume, would that result in an immediate new meeting with image or would that just be something for emails later on (edited)

also, when to expect coaching to begin

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:56 PM

"If I get another bugsnak that can help with my costume, what would happen with that?"

Glenn BOT 05-Apr-21 11:57 PM

"Depends on how it would change up your appearance. With the unfortunate exception of tinkers and the like, most Wards and Protectorate capes need to have one or two set outfits."

"If it changes how you look too drastically, then all the merch of you would suddenly be out of date."

"But if it's something less visible, then just email me and I'll get back to you."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 11:58 PM

you're most likely to just get, like, a new hue of silk or something, so emails then

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 11:59 PM

Right.

"Okay, thanks."

"When will the acting lessons start?"

Glenn BOT 06-Apr-21 12:00 AM

...so tempted to bring up the theme song thing but i cant figure out a good context for it, gah

"Oh? Not generally, but you've piqued my interest."

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:03 AM

"I have something that could suit. I wrote it down on sheet music paper."

Thanks, internet.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:03 AM

woo

he can prolly see why you mentioned the tropical theme from the lyrics, depending on how adapted they are

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:03 AM

All I know about music is from the flute lessons I used to take back in middle school.

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:04 AM

thank god for interdimensional music piracy lol

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:04 AM

Ha.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:04 AM

especially since nobody over on our side can do anything about it aside from help

interdimensional time travel music theft

that sounds fucking wacky lol

Glenn BOT 06-Apr-21 12:05 AM

"If you could send me some photos of it, that would be great."

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:06 AM

glenn is gonna be happy about this one

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:06 AM

"Sure."

Is that it for questions?

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:07 AM

i think that's it, i cant think of anything else

that might be because the bugsnax theme is an earworm tho

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:07 AM

"I can't think of anything else to ask right now."

Glenn BOT 06-Apr-21 12:08 AM

"Well, if you have more questions, just shoot me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:08 AM

awesome

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:09 AM

"Thanks!"

Glenn BOT 06-Apr-21 12:09 AM

"Well, it was good to meet you, Snaktooth."

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:09 AM

"Same here."

I'd say that went well.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:09 AM

oh absolutely

i could tell the guy was having a great time there

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:10 AM

He did say that my power was ideal for image, and that's his whole job.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:11 AM

from what i know, he genuinely enjoys the job a lot, so this is just a really nice standout event

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:11 AM

Ah, I'm glad.

Well, now, I have some admin stuff to do.

After that...

Power testing.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:13 AM

well, if nothing else, you'll have the opportunity to test out the snaktivator and see if armsmaster can make something that'll nullify the negative effects of bugsnax

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:13 AM

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:13 AM

hopefully battery'll be getting out of m/s sooner rather than later due to it wearing off naturally too

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:14 AM

Oh, I agree 100%.

It's been...

I don't always get them, but sometimes I catch a few stressed-out thoughts from her.

She seems to be relieved that I'm joining the Wards, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:15 AM

if nothing else, worst come to worst, panacea can get her a new leg

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:16 AM

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:16 AM

and you can probably test your master effect on lung if he hasn't been shipped out yet

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:16 AM

I've tried, and I don't have any influence over him anymore.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:17 AM

and they'd be able to see it, too

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:17 AM

Yeah.

Well, the admin stuff is over.

I now have a Wards phone.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:18 AM

nice

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:18 AM

So. Power testing.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:18 AM

power testing

if they try to get you to feed someone until they turn into bugsnax completely, you can just say you get a bad feeling about what thatd do

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:18 AM

At least I can control multiple bugsnax at once, so I can multitask.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:18 AM

yee

Dice Maiden BOT 06-Apr-21 12:19 AM

(Power testing: 45)

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:19 AM

hope power testing goes well enough, it shouldnt be too strenuous

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:20 AM

Yeah.

Well, it wasn't fun, but nothing terrible happened, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:21 AM

got the snaktivator built?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:21 AM

I had to feed a Kweeble to a rabbit and control it, but nothing worse than that.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:21 AM

oh nice

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:21 AM

Oh, I already did that, don't worry.

I demonstrated on the rabbit.

It seems like my control is proportional to how snakified the victim is.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:22 AM

yeah, that makes sense - it might be where the whole 'want to eat more bugsnax' thing would come into play

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:22 AM

I could pretty much control the rabbit like I could one of the actual bugsnax.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:22 AM

And how mentaly there the person is if we look at oni lee

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:25 AM

That too.

Well, the day is pretty much done.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:27 AM

passed the gadget to armsmaster?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:28 AM

Got it.

If I leave the snaktivator here, someone can take it over to the Rig for him to look at.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:29 AM

that works, hopefully

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:30 AM

My guess is coil has it get lost in transit, but that's me being paranoid

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:30 AM

...

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:30 AM

well, now that that's been jinxed, gotta deliver it in person

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:31 AM

Right.

I'll do that, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:32 AM

could also check your email for when you're set for the wards debut and other important dates

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:32 AM

Good idea.

Looks like they're on the schedule. My debut is in a week, as long as there's not any emergencies.

I have a whole bunch of training scheduled.

A lot of acting, and a bunch of classes for what to do in emergencies and that.

There's also a handbook that I got. It has rules of engagement in it.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:34 AM

nice

any bugsnax training fit in there?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:35 AM

Just one hour-long session, so I can help the trainers get the gist of what to do.

They'll be able to take it from there.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:35 AM

alright, awesome

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:36 AM

Okay, I've arrived at the Rig. Scoopy Banoopy's top speed is pretty good.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:36 AM

its a good scoopy

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:37 AM

I feel like I should get a driver's license if I want to do this kind of thing, but I guess capes get a bit of a pass.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:37 AM

hard to get a driver's license for an ice cream float or a banana split (edited)

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:38 AM

Ha. Fair.

I was thinking more road laws than anything else.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:39 AM

well, if nothing else, busted secret ID means you might be able to use scoopy to get around and sidestep that entirely

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:39 AM

I'd think u'd need a liscense for flying mounts

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:39 AM

i mean

youd have to ask kid win

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:39 AM

FAA prolly has a registry for flying heros

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:39 AM

I did hear something about airspace laws in relation to flight.

It was mostly about flying in the same space as actual planes and stuff, though.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:40 AM

im pretty sure glory girl flies panacea to school on the regular, so they probably arent that harsh, yeah

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:41 AM

Yeah.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:43 AM

Yeah iirc american airspace isnt regulated till you reach a certain height/weight of the "aircraft" it's why amatuer flying is still a thing and why certain aircraft can be flown without a liscense

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:44 AM

its earth bet, so superhero laws which are heavily influenced by prt apply

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:47 AM

Anyway, I just need to get to Armsmaster's lab.

Wards.Snaktooth: I made something last night. Mind if I bring it to you in your lab?

Armsmaster BOT 06-Apr-21 12:48 AM

PHQ.Armsmaster: Go ahead. I'll key you in.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:48 AM

excellent

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:48 AM

"Hey, Armsmaster."

Armsmaster BOT 06-Apr-21 12:48 AM

"Hello, Snaktooth. You said you'd made something?"

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:49 AM

"Yeah. This. It's called a snaktivator. It should give some control over which part of the body is snakified when someone eats a bugsnak."

Armsmaster BOT 06-Apr-21 12:50 AM

"You're a tinker too? Is this a sub-power, or some sort of mosaic power expression?"

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:50 AM

Uh

Malaki 06-Apr-21 12:50 AM

Yes to tinker not sure on the rest

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:51 AM

if hes asking if you're a cluster trigger, hell if you know? but you do have some limited tinkering abilities, mostly revolving around catching and training up your bugsnax itd seem

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:52 AM

"I am. I'm not sure if I'm from a cluster or anything, but the stuff I make seems to be built around my bugsnax, so I think it's a sub-power."

Armsmaster BOT 06-Apr-21 12:52 AM

"I see."

"Well, I'll have a look at this, and I'll see what I can do about getting you some lab space at the PHQ."

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:53 AM

"Thanks!"

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:53 AM

hopefully itll be helpful

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:54 AM

Hopefully.

Maybe tech that manipulates snakmatter will be able to help make some sort of snakmatter purger or something.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:54 AM

we can only hope

if i recall rightly, in the endgame of bugsnax, the gear got repurposed into snak-destroying gear, so a snakmatter purger would make some sense

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 12:55 AM

Yeah.

Well, I think that's me done for the day.

I'd better get home.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 12:58 AM

Check ur camera reel

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:12 AM

nnno, that's not what their name references lucky

its a reference to instagram

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:12 AM

Of course, the instant gram

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:12 AM

Which doesnt exist on bet

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:13 AM

Hey guess who made the voices for this Bugsnax

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:13 AM

Who?

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:13 AM

i mean, it was made in 2010 over here, and bet has stuff like bing

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:15 AM

How did they even take the pictures?

ask instabug

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:15 AM

Persistence

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:15 AM

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:15 AM

No, I see fry grease on the camera buttons.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:16 AM

they blackmailed a fryder?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:16 AM

I guess they roped in the fryder I had at home with me

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:16 AM

thanks fryder

you have gotta show these to your dad, he'll get a kick out of em

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:17 AM

Sure.

I was actually considering emailing them to Glenn as well.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:17 AM

'so you remember how you said all these were cute and had silly names? i think my power heard you' do it

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:18 AM

Huh...hey so fryders secrete fry grease right?

Like, indefinitely?

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:19 AM

id imagine theres a limit, like if theyre already covered in the stuff

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:21 AM

I guess they must, since they don't eat.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:21 AM

they might photosynthesize?

idk

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:21 AM

...infinite source of biodesiel

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:22 AM

Aren't parahuman-generated resources weird compared to normal resources?

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

Yes

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

generally, yeah

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

...actually did it get checked that ur a parahuman?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

I remember hearing about an incident where a construction company used parahuman-made concrete and when it started crumbling, they got a lawsuit over it.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

Like brain scan and all?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

? What else would I be?

I have powers. I'm a parahuman.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

out of context powers is what malaki is implying

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:23 AM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:24 AM

like youre getting em from a different source than most parahumans

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:24 AM

Which would mean not constrained to the rules that normally apply to parahuman powers

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:24 AM

Yeah

Bugsnax is a parasite by nature

Who says they couldn’t infect and expand through the multiverse with the correct method

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:25 AM

See now that is nightmare fuel

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:25 AM

lucky, these are the sort of things that cause undue stress, which she's already aware of and doesn't need to actively think about rn

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:25 AM

Nah is Bugsnax

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:25 AM

It escaping it's seasame street monster universe

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:26 AM

Which it already did because Taylor creates them

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:26 AM

besides, bugsnax don't spontaneously come into existence without a host to convert to snak matter (edited)

that's outside of their range of abilities

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:26 AM

I mean, there's no precedent for non-parahuman powers, so I have no idea how I'd be able to get a brain scan or whatever.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:27 AM

You can ask for one from the prt iirc

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:27 AM

Prt?

Imp’d

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:28 AM

I can? Do they have a policy for this or something?

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:28 AM

i don't think they do

Taylor

I can? Do they have a policy for this or something?

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:28 AM

They do for troopers

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:28 AM

that'd be a weird thing for them to have policy for with wards though

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:28 AM

But for civilians not really

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:29 AM

Yo can still ask tho, no harm in checking

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:29 AM

Sure, might as well.

I sent an email. No response yet.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:30 AM

It isn’t automatic so that means they must read it

That is at least a maybe

So want to make another bug

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:30 AM

taylor can't create them consciously without making people and creatures burst into them

so, no

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:30 AM

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:36 AM

hope that goes well, and that you like the tropical bugsnak queen look

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:38 AM

They have a few prospective designs so far.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:38 AM

Any with fruits?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:38 AM

The first is a burger-themed dress and a matching crown.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:39 AM

No dresses, same reason as no capes

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:39 AM

The second is a dress with a rainbow of fake tropical fruit on it.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:39 AM

might be hard to avoid given tropical bugsnak queen - nvm (edited)

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:39 AM

The third and fourth are more gender neutral versions of the same things.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:39 AM

the fourth might be your best bet, then, if thats all your options available

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:40 AM

I said go for the fourth

Better known as the Tropical Queen than the Burger Queen

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:41 AM

Yeah, fruit more healthy than burgers

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:42 AM

These are just prospective designs, they're all on paper. I could ask for more ideas if I don't like any of these.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:42 AM

...health shouldnt really factor into costume design - especially not since half the snax are junk food anyways

you could say you like the direction 4 is going

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:42 AM

Yeah but gotta set a good example for the kids

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:43 AM

Which presents a better image

At the Protectorate and PRT are all about PR (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:43 AM

point, but there's not gonna be any escaping the fact that half the food is junk food, so that kind of nullifies it

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:43 AM

Nah

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:43 AM

theyre gonna be selling plushies of that shit too yknow

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:43 AM

For publicity and presentation use the healthy ones

For mission use whatever

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:44 AM

...not how that works

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:44 AM

They asked original to use butterflies

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:44 AM

Junk food is already part of my theme. I can't escape that.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:44 AM

thats probationary ward logic, which doesnt apply here

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:45 AM

Nope

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:45 AM

that's a good idea, actually

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:46 AM

she also can't eat them, either

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:46 AM

If I end up with a fruit dress and junk food minions, I'll just look silly.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:46 AM

If you try to get from all of it you get this

Focus in one theme for it not be a mismatch

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:47 AM

thats one way it could go, but there are professionals behind the design here who would be making a good-looking costume

her theme is food lucky

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:47 AM

I might tally up the bugsnax types to see the demographics there.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 01:47 AM

That’s good

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:47 AM

there's gonna be some mismatch if she focuses down one particular tree

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:47 AM

I could also go more general with something food-adjacent.

Maybe a chef queen? Or a cornucopia?

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:48 AM

Hmm Cornicopia actually sounds good

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:48 AM

more general would probably be the safer bet, like cornucopia-ish

actually

why not a buffet theme?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:51 AM

As in, plates and cutlery?

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:52 AM

something like that, with food designs on different plates - and it could double as actual armor

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:52 AM

Cornicopia is buffet themed, it's an artifact from greek myth that produces infinite food

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:52 AM

I know.

Cornucopia design is a dress with fake food coming out the bottom.

It has a matching helmet with a food-pattered veil.

The problem here is that I need something with some amount of hamminess.

The cornucopia dress is a little too serious for... you know, adorable googly-eyed bugsnax.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:56 AM

yeah, true

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:56 AM

If you have any costume suggestions, feel free to chip in.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:56 AM

i was thinking more modern buffet tbh

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:56 AM

The burger dress is the hammiest option, which is why it was suggested first.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:57 AM

#4 still seems like the best option, maybe followed by #2

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:58 AM

The thing is, the tropical fruit is a bit more 'sophisticated'.

It could clash with my ham factor.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

...could go for the pineapple ham look

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

she means the humor, not literal ham

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

Not literal ham.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

i hope

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

Figurative hamminess.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 01:59 AM

I know not literal ham

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:00 AM

Fruit in general is a bit more, for lack of a better word, 'sophisticated'.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:00 AM

But cant be that hard to make a dress that looks like one

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:00 AM

A dress shaped like a ham is an idea.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:00 AM

could check out snakkification looks for ideas

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:01 AM

Good idea.

I could also go, say, cake dress.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:01 AM

for instance, headgear could look a bit like the stewdler thing, given tropical queen and all https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bugsnax/images/6/68/Wambusstewdler.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/443?cb=20201207084815

ignore the mickey mouse ears

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:02 AM

Aside from the theme song, why tropical?

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:02 AM

I cant now, it's all i see

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:02 AM

My bugsnax don't live on an island anymoree.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:02 AM

honestly it's in part to make the theme song work and partly because you live in a bay, which could be kinda tropical

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:02 AM

The whole tropical idea is a bit harder to make hammy.

Also, we're not exactly in a tropical climate here.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 02:03 AM

Oh yeah you don’t have the mask with Jim (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:03 AM

Hmmmm

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 02:03 AM

But yeah fair

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:03 AM

Parfait theme?

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:04 AM

The only theme I have to really follow here is that it has to be hammy in some way.

Something I can play up and be silly with.

Lucky_Plucky21 06-Apr-21 02:04 AM

The Queen of Snacks? (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:04 AM

oh parfait works well!

colorful, fruity, not exactly that refined despite it being called a parfait (edited)

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:06 AM

Can def be made silly

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:06 AM

I could see myself hamming that up, I think.

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:07 AM

Some capes have warm weather and cold weather costumes already, so it wouldn't be a totally new thing.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:07 AM

Dresses should really only be for preess stuff/events

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:07 AM

seasonal changes would potentially let them sell 4 sets of toys, making some supply and demand around the year

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:08 AM

If it's a shorter dress with pants beneath it, it won't restrict movement too much.

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:08 AM

everything having a more limited edition feel

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:08 AM

Like, a miniskirt-type dress.

that could work

god now im imagining options for seasonal costumes

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:09 AM

Idk what u'd call the general food they are, but i wanna call em food cups of some kind

Like...dessert cups

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:15 AM

trifles are big ones from what i see

Got it.

It seems to be more about projecting confidence at the moment.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:22 AM

...oh man that is one of those things that sounds easy but is actually hard

Limina Idling | Hours 06-Apr-21 02:22 AM

i recall that in worm, you managed to do that by not really looking around your area, instead letting your swarm do it for you so you just tended to look ahead, like you were really focused

Taylor BOT 06-Apr-21 02:23 AM

I could try that if I had enough bugsnax around me.

It's kinda working.

Though the instructor says it's a little creepy.

Malaki 06-Apr-21 02:24 AM

Yeah well that was the point for the villian you

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 12:44 AM

Ah. Good to know.

I'll try to sum up the important beats, from what I remember.

I joined the Wards yesterday, though Dad was reluctant. We met a PRT trooper named Piggot, and her husband/the local PRT director, Director Calvert. Dad knew both of them.

I also designed my costume, which was based on a parfait, with different designs for different seasons.

Today is Sunday, and in preparation for my debut, I attended an acting course, then went for the brain scan before the lunch break.

After lunch is a course on combat-related stuff.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 12:48 AM

Glenn BOT 13-Apr-21 01:35 AM

PRT.GChambers: You'd need a place to keep excess minions anyway, we might as well put cameras in there.

PRT.GChambers: They'll behave while you're gone, right?

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:36 AM

Wards.Snaktooth: Should do.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:36 AM

they can be trained, so even if they're less liable to, that can be worked on

Glenn BOT 13-Apr-21 01:36 AM

PRT.GChambers: Maybe we can do a trial run before we start streaming it to the public.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:37 AM

thatd be a good idea, ye

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:38 AM

Wards.Snaktooth: That works. Thanks for the advice.

Glenn BOT 13-Apr-21 01:39 AM

PRT.GChambers: No, thank you. I haven't been this excited about a new Ward in quite a while.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:39 AM

guy enjoys his job lol

Glenn BOT 13-Apr-21 01:39 AM

PRT.GChambers: Plushie designs are already in the works, or so I hear.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:40 AM

oh my god

plushie pile is coming up fast

god. bunger is gonna fly off the shelves, i just know it

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:41 AM

Wards.Snaktooth: I might as well tell you that one of my friends is very enthusiastic about a bugsnax plushie pile.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:42 AM

lol

Glenn BOT 13-Apr-21 01:42 AM

PRT.GChambers: Hmm... A video of bugsnax playing in a pile of plushies would be pretty good for advertising, come to think of it.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:42 AM

its happening

https://tenor.com/view/its-happening-friday-gif-12932795

lol

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:53 AM

a thought occurs to me as well, a question we've not asked thus far: is it possible to turn normal food into bugsnax

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:56 AM

I... have no idea.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:57 AM

well, if you arent sure, its probably one of those things that can wait until we get a minute

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:57 AM

Yeah.

I haven't noticed anything different when touching normal food. Maybe I could put some food in my bed overnight or something? That's when new bugsnax tend to show up.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:58 AM

maybe

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 01:59 AM

Well, I'll try it anyway. Any food recommendations?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 01:59 AM

hmmm...

quietly pulls up the List of Bugsnax

actually lemme like

pin the wiki list in here

https://bugsnax.fandom.com/wiki/Bugsnax_(Creatures)

there we go

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:00 AM

Oh, that's nice, thanks.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:00 AM

ok, my recommendation is soda of some sort, for sodies

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:01 AM

And it's something I won't need to put in a terrarium or something so I don't roll onto it in the night.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:01 AM

yeah, plus it can put out fires

which'll mean its something you can probably keep in your room overnight

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:04 AM

Oh, that's useful, yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:05 AM

we have learned from scorpenyo that this is something you'll want

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:05 AM

Agreed.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:06 AM

at least we have a hypothetical way to deal with this, so there's that

...maybe keep a bowl of water or something in your room either way

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:07 AM

Or wherever I keep Scorpenyo, yeah.

Well, I'll pick up some Sunny D from a vending machine on the way out.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:08 AM

that works

"We got Sodie, Peelbugs, purple stuff and...two kinds of Sodie D!"

god, you're gonna have parody moments like that

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:09 AM

Probably.

I wonder if I could make other kinds of Sodie?

Assuming this works.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:10 AM

well, maybe?

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:10 AM

If I'm not stuck with what's on the wiki, that could be pretty neat, though the wiki does have a lot of variety.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:10 AM

xl bunger based on the challenger

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:11 AM

Ha, that's a thought.

I could pop into Fugly Bob's on the way home, pick one up for testing.

And maybe one to eat with Dad, too.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:13 AM

that works

just make sure no customers see bunger and go 'hey who left the challenger here'

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:14 AM

I mean, it has eyes and can speak, I think I'll be fine on that front.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:14 AM

point

still, never discount morons trying to eat your snax

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:15 AM

I'll be careful.

Okay, combat training was different from what I expected.

I was ready to do some sort of hand-to-hand practise, and we did do some stuff along those lines, but half of it was about the strategies I'd use.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:17 AM

i guess the prt does probably have a few minion masters, so its in the handbook somewhere

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:17 AM

And the hand-to-hand stuff was more about the very basics.

Apparently, the balls of your feet aren't the heels.

I'm not sure why, since it's the heels that are actually ball-shaped.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:18 AM

oh, thats p weird, yeah

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:19 AM

Well, I'll pick up that Challenger on the way home, then.

Tomorrow's school, but I'll be getting my costume and doing that photoshoot after that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:21 AM

thankfully i think arcadia does some weird half day thing?

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:21 AM

Yeah, they're more focused on self-study, I think.

Danny BOT 13-Apr-21 02:22 AM

"Hey, Taylor. Ready to go home?"

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:22 AM

"Can we pick up some Fugly Bob's on the way? I want to see if I can turn a challenger burger into a bunger."

Danny BOT 13-Apr-21 02:23 AM

"Sure thing. We could pick up something for dinner as well, if you wanted?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:23 AM

why not

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:24 AM

"Sure, that works for me. It's been long enough since I last clogged my arteries there, so it's probably safe."

One challenger acquired! We ended up getting separate, smaller burgers for ourselves.

Do you think this might throw off people trying to figure out how my power works?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:26 AM

possibly

either way, its good news id say

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:27 AM

Yup.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:27 AM

either it throws off people or you get a new bunger

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:27 AM

God, I always underestimate the sheer grease of these burgers.

Exactly.

Well, I'm ready to go into a food coma. While next to some food.

Taylor

God, I always underestimate the sheer grease of these burgers.

I'm never letting you near my minions.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:29 AM

good

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:29 AM

Glad we could come to an agreement.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:30 AM

honestly it was just because the chicken nuggets were the perfect balance of soft and cronch

its hard to get really good chicken on my end

Taylor BOT 13-Apr-21 02:31 AM

That must suck.

...Tired.

Here comes the food coma.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:31 AM

Yay

Don’t let the creepy man defile your Queen

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Apr-21 02:42 AM

shooting him in the face with water ought to make the costume suffocating, forcing him to remove the mask bit, which would allow a sodie or two to go down his throat, and big bunger can hold coil in place if he's still here (edited)

Big Bunger BOT 13-Apr-21 02:42 AM
