he might've put bugs somewhere - the sort that spy on people
normal-sized bunger, did you see him put anything anywhere?
BungerBOT13-Apr-21 02:47 AM
*Bungers in being in a terrarium in the basement so it couldn't break out and get eaten*
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:47 AM
oh
dang
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:49 AM
Good morning.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:49 AM
coil broke into your house and mightve put bugs around the place
this is the second goddamn time your house has gotten broken into, you really need some sort of security system
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:50 AM
Fuck.
We do.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:50 AM
you need a better one
check and see if danny's in his room
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:51 AM
I'll tell Dad.
Ah, it looks like he left for work early.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:51 AM
you need to get in contact with armsmaster over this
...i just had this really worrying premonition that danny might be coil
i doubt it, but itd fit the criteria of 'wants to work on the bay' and 'ellisburg survivor'
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:53 AM
My Dad's not a villain.
I know him, and he's not the type to kidnap little girls.
So yeah, probably not him.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:54 AM
i'd hope against that, yeah, as he really doesnt seem the type normally but
powers can fuck with your head, trauma can change you for the worst, so i cant say with 100% certainty its not him, only 90%
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:54 AM
...
It's not him. I can guarantee that.
...Shit, what if Coil took him or something?
Fuck fuck uh
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 02:55 AM
call work, see if he's there
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:55 AM
Right.
I'll ring his work phone.
SFX and/or CameraBOT13-Apr-21 02:56 AM
*Beep.*
DannyBOT13-Apr-21 02:58 AM
"Hey, Taylor. Is something wrong?"
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 02:59 AM
"My minions saw Coil walking around the house while I was asleep."
DannyBOT13-Apr-21 02:59 AM
"What?!"
"That's..."
"Dammit."
"I'll call someone, get a better security system in place."
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:00 AM
Although... wtf was he doing there personally?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:00 AM
maybe armsmaster can help
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:00 AM
He's not the type to go to someone's home personally like that. Ever.
He'd send a minion to do it.
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:01 AM
"I'll text Armsmaster."
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:01 AM
this is definitely someone new in coil's place, the ballsy fuck might've timelined it
DannyBOT13-Apr-21 03:01 AM
"Right. Yeah."
Limina Idling | Hours
this is definitely someone new in coil's place, the ballsy fuck might've timelined it
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:01 AM
Yeah, could be.
DannyBOT13-Apr-21 03:01 AM
*Under his breath* "Still need to get used to that."
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:02 AM
If he didn't know that we could see him while asleep, he could have already chosen this timeline thinking he got away with it fine.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:02 AM
so it seems like whoever calvert is now, he's using shorter term timeline splitting
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:02 AM
So, it's a good thing this happened, I guess?
It's good that I know he's got an eye on me.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:03 AM
that speaks to a reduced tactical acumen, so yeah
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:03 AM
Yeah, this really doesn't feel like something a super smart Bond villain would do.
At least he doesn't know that I know.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:04 AM
yet
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
Yet.
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:05 AM
Shorter timelines are less safe, but allow faster action since you can more rapidly test out potential scenarios rather than spend days on each.
And in most cases it's fine so...?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
i do hope you used your cell phone for that rather than the house phone
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
I did, don't worry.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
okay, good
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
Did it in the back yard, too.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:05 AM
very good
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:06 AM
How can you be sure the cellphone is unbuggged tho
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:06 AM
...I can't believe I just have to go to school after this.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:06 AM
dont forget to text armsmaster asap, tho
hopefully you'll have something good from him waiting for you when you go home
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:06 AM
Crap. Well, at least it seems less likely to be easily tapped than the home line.

Reply to: How can you be sure the cellphone is unbuggged tho
Right. Texting.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:07 AM
i mean, the phone may be tinkertech, if it was provided by the prt
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:08 AM
Wards.Snaktooth: Coil entered my house last night while I was asleep. I don't know if he did anything, but dad and I are alright, at least. Is there a chance he could've bugged my phone.
Malaki13-Apr-21 03:10 AM
Oh hey did you get a brainscan to check for the parahuman brain tumors?
ArmsmasterBOT13-Apr-21 03:10 AM
PHQ.Armsmaster: Shit. Do you want a security detail?
I can look at your phone if you want.
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:10 AM
(what.)
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:10 AM
yes, malaki, and it showed a corona
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:10 AM
(when did this happen to armsmaster lol)
Malaki13-Apr-21 03:10 AM
Damn

I did. I have a pollentia, no idea if I have a gemma as well.

(how did i miss this. I can't believe it's gone undetected by me)
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:11 AM
a security detail of some sort would probably be good, unless coil gets minions to infiltrate it
having him take a once-over on it would be good too
Malaki13-Apr-21 03:11 AM
...as long as u dont have a gemma then you should be immune to most trumps

Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:12 AM
we don't know so it's worth assuming the worst in engagements just in case
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:12 AM
Gemmas are hard enough to detect that I have no idea whether or not I have one, but I'll have to hope I don't.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:12 AM
ANYWAYS we're dealing with coil
we could probably call in favors from dinah to locate his lair, like 'odds we'll find coil's lair in this half of the city' and narrowing it down via a question a day(edited)
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:14 AM
Good idea.
Taylor: Coil visited my house overnight. Can you help me find him?
DinahBOT13-Apr-21 03:14 AM
Dinah: Bad idea. Numbers get worse if you try to find him too soon.
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:15 AM
So, what, I just have to wait or something?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:15 AM
ah. fuck
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:15 AM
I can't just wait!
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:15 AM
well, let's think about it like this
the longer you wait, the more he schemes and potentially fucks things up for himself
this coil is dumber than the coil we know, hypothetically speaking at least
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:16 AM
He's already slipped up once, he'll slip up again.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:16 AM
and the more times he does it, the more damning his situation gets
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:16 AM
Maybe he'll eat snaxx in an alt-timeline and the mental effects will carry over
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:16 AM
If I think like that, the idea of waiting becomes a bit more bearable.
I really hope so.
randomperson44 ↩️
Reply to: Maybe he'll eat snaxx in an alt-timeline and the mental effects will carry over
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:16 AM
just. keep in mind that if he does wise up, this is also the more time he plots
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:16 AM
Actually... you did count the snaxx right? He didn't do that already?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:17 AM
...he might be feeding echidna snax
i know he hired the travellers originally between the 14th and 22nd
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:18 AM
You got at least 2 Sodie and a Big Bunger talking during the night so if you don't have those then he took them
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:18 AM
Same number of snax as last night.
Plus two Sodie Ds and one Big Bunger.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:19 AM
we mightve just not heard a sodie d
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:19 AM
Alright. Good. I don't wanna know what nightmare Echidna+Bugsnaxx makes.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:19 AM
hopefully, just turns her into a bugsnaxplosion
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:20 AM
...I'm not sure how to get Big Bunger out of my room.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:20 AM
permanent security detail for your room?
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:20 AM
It's big. Like, big big. It's as tall as I am.
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:20 AM
Vista
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:20 AM
frankly your house has gotten broken into enough that that's probably a good idea
oh yeah vista
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:21 AM
Oh, Vista, that's a good idea!
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:21 AM
Though having a Ward visit your house non-suspiciously is a problem of its own
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:21 AM
you've already been outed, and may be getting a security detail, so
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:21 AM
I mean, if she just comes in costume, it's fine, right?
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:21 AM
True
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:22 AM
i dont think you made up your mind about the security detail either. thank god for anime thinking time
pros: someone's liable to shoot people trying to break into your house
cons: coil may kidnap you by getting people slipped into the detail
worth asking dinah if that's liable to happen
if she doesnt mind of course
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:23 AM
Right.
Taylor: What about a security detail? Would that be a good idea?
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:24 AM
Though lol, being used to get something through a door will not help Vista's desire to be the booold action gaaaaaaaal
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:24 AM
she gets to ride the bunger
DinahBOT13-Apr-21 03:24 AM
Dinah: Why not just chain up some of your bugsnax with orders to pin down anyone that shouldn't be there?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:24 AM
that works
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:25 AM
I guess we leave Big Bunger
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:25 AM
Taylor: Good idea.
Big Bunger is probably my strongest minion yet. Do I want to keep it in my house forever?
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:26 AM
you can make more of big bunger
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:26 AM
Also, I'm not sure the house is tough enough to hold Big Bunger if it gets antsy.
Good point.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:26 AM
you know how to make bugsnax now
...someone's gonna insist you sleep on the rig near a vending machine, i know it
time to let armsmaster know 'no' to security detail but wouldnt mind getting the phone and maybe the house swept for bugs - coil's goons use tinkertech weaponry, yeah?
cant recall
Pika13-Apr-21 03:27 AM
(They do.)
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:27 AM
Got it.
Wards.Snaktooth: I can use my minions for security now that I know there's a high chance of a home invasion. If you don't mind looking over my phone, that would be great.
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:29 AM
it occurs to me that a combination of sodie d and scorpenyo could repeatedly ignite and douse a person, causing severe panic
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:31 AM
...
Limina Idling | Hours13-Apr-21 03:31 AM
itd also fuck up any weapons they had on them, repeated heating and cooling fucking up the metal there
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:31 AM
This feels like it would break the Geneva Convention, somehow.

randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:32 AM
I'd like to point out that repeated heating and cooling large enough to affect metal like that would also kill the person.

TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:33 AM
Don't rapid temperature changes cause heart issues?

ive been assuming cartoon physics
oh point, that sounds like it could cause shock
TaylorBOT13-Apr-21 03:33 AM
They don't seem to run on cartoon physics.
randomhuman4413-Apr-21 03:33 AM
Even aside from heart issues, we talking about setting a person on fire, which in real life is an issue.
At the very least, whole body permanent disfiguration.
More likely, death by burn shock.
