Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:22 PM

I guess I might as well recap what's been going on.

I ended up taking out Lung and Oni Lee to stop the Undersiders from being killed, and became friendly acquaintances with Armsmaster.

I went after Bakuda as well, stopping her before she could plant bombs in anyone's heads.

Shadow Stalker came for a midnight visit while I was asleep, and she ended up outing me to Emma who then made my identity public knowledge.

So, right now, I'm going with my Dad to the PRT building to try and get this all sorted out.

Malaki 04-Apr-21 03:26 PM

Oof paperwork

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:26 PM

It's better than not doing anything, at least.

Malaki 04-Apr-21 03:27 PM

Yeah, and hey, ur not the beaurocrats filing out the shit, prolly just reading and signing (edited)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:29 PM

I have no idea how this is even going to go. For all I know, I could just be going there to talk about it.

Malaki 04-Apr-21 03:31 PM

Well imma bounce, dont let them push u around and ensure Sophia and her goons dont get off scot free

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:31 PM

Got it.

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 03:32 PM

"If you're going in costume, do I need a costume too?"

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:32 PM

"I'm... not actually sure."

"I need to be in costume because I'll have my minions with me, and if I want to at least pretend to keep a secret identity, I can't have them with me as a civilian."

"I could probably make you a mask easily enough, but it'll either smell like fries or ketchup."

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 03:36 PM

"I'll take the mask, and I'll try to rustle up some other stuff to protect my identity."

"I think I still have a flak jacket somewhere from the old days."

Awake 04-Apr-21 03:40 PM

Best of luck with the PRT and beauracracy

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:40 PM

Thanks.

Awake 04-Apr-21 03:45 PM

Also yeah. Your dad going in costume is smart if you wanna keep any secret identity still

Gonna have to be very careful moving forward in terms of that

Lucky_Plucky21 04-Apr-21 03:46 PM

Yep

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:48 PM

Current plan is that I load my minions into Dad's car, we drive over to the house of someone he knows so we can change into costume, wait for a bit, then take his friend's car to the PRT office.

Awake 04-Apr-21 03:48 PM

Not the worst plan, could work

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 03:49 PM

Yeah. It's the best we could think of on the fly.

Well, we're on our way over now. I'll spare you the details.

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:28 PM

We're here. I hope so too.

Oh, Armsmaster is here with the Bunger and one of the Strabbies.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:29 PM

looks like you'll be chatting with him for this

glad to know you got those two back

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:31 PM

So am I. Bungers are pretty good physical powerhouses, and while Strabbies are pretty useless, they're good fodder for feeding to people.

I made one of them wave at him to let him know I arrived.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:32 PM

lol, nice

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:32 PM

"Snaktooth, you're here? I'll come down as soon as I can."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:33 PM

"Armsmaster will be coming down to meet us."

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 04:33 PM

"..."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:33 PM

Dad looks tense, for some reason.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:34 PM

hes probably holding back some anger over the whole ID leak thing

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:34 PM

That could explain it.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:34 PM

maybe text armsmaster and let him know you didnt come alone?

i cant recall if you let him know

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:35 PM

IND.Snaktooth: Dad and I are here.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:35 PM

and now, to ask if danny's alright

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:36 PM

"Dad? Are you alright?"

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 04:36 PM

"It's... strange, being here of all places, but I'll have to be alright with it."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:37 PM

ah. thats fair

well, hopefully he'll be able to adjust

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:39 PM

God. I hate that I'm having to put him through this.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:39 PM

it's necessary, and if ever there was a silver lining, he might be able to get more involved in your life because of all this

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:41 PM

I'm just pissed off that it's necessary at all.

Well, nothing I can do about it now.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:41 PM

hopefully the fallout is at least manageable - this is hardly the first time someone's ID got leaked before

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:42 PM

Yeah.

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:43 PM

"Snaktooth, good to see you. And you'd be Snaktooth's legal guardian?"

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 04:43 PM

"That's right, I'm her father."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:44 PM

"Nice to meet you."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:44 PM

smooth enough intro

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:47 PM

"Let's move proceedings to a more private room."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:48 PM

probably for the best - i doubt a report on all this stuff out in the open would be good

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 04:49 PM

"Good. Let's go."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:49 PM

Huh. This room is pretty nice.

I don't know why, but for some reason, I was expecting an office, or maybe a re-purposed interrogation room, but this is more of a lounge area.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:51 PM

they might have this for meetings with independent folks, given new wave is a notable team in the area

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:51 PM

Maybe, yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:52 PM

if nothing else, the prt is good at pr, and i suppose that means nice rooms for potential touring purposes

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:52 PM

Ah, that's probably it.

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:53 PM

"Shall we cut right to the chase?"

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:53 PM

probably good to get right down to it, yeah

pleasantries delay figuring all this out

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 04:54 PM

"Of course."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:56 PM

"My understanding of events that Snaktooth's identity was leaked after a cape tried to invade her room while she was asleep. The cape in question then took the knowledge to her friend, who proceeded to spread it throughout their school."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:56 PM

"I think that sums it up well."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 04:57 PM

it seems like it might've been spread well beyond that, given danny learned about it on his own at work (edited)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 04:58 PM

"Though Dad had heard about it from a kid who goes to Winslow, so it's starting to spread further than that."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 04:58 PM

"Damn."

"Well, I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:00 PM

lets start with the bad news, then move onto the good news - end things off on a higher note

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:00 PM

"Bad news first."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 05:01 PM

"It's highly unlikely that we'll be able to cover this up. There's only so many people that can find out a hero's identity before we can't stop it from spreading, and it sounds like it's well past that point already."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:01 PM

Oh.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:01 PM

damn

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:01 PM

I mean, I half expected it, but

Oh.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:02 PM

it's one thing knowing its probably fucked and another definitely, yeah

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 05:02 PM

"And the good news?"

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 05:04 PM

"The ones who started this are going down. There's no actual laws against outing an independent cape, but we can make it very, very hard on them. Dig into anything we even have an inkling of suspicion that they might've done."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:04 PM

glad as fuck for that

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:05 PM

This is surreal.

Emma and Sophia are actually going to get what they deserved. Finally.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:05 PM

they're getting the extreme end of what they deserve, too

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:05 PM

I just wish it didn't have to happen this way.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:06 PM

it probably could've gone better, but emma's a dumb motherfucker

Awake 04-Apr-21 05:06 PM

Yeah

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:07 PM

Even after everything, I just can't believe she went this far.

Well, either way, fuck her.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:07 PM

hard agree

im pretty sure its her own personal traumas that made her this dumb, but thats hardly an excuse for shitty behavior

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Damn fucking straight.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:09 PM

if nothing else, you may be able to join new wave, assuming theyre ok with people joining

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:09 PM

They seem to be a family-only team, from what I know.

Awake 04-Apr-21 05:10 PM

Besides, PRT PR might be helpful given the kinda master aspects of the power

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:10 PM

it was originally intended to be a movement for accountability, stopped dead in its tracks due to fleur dying

then again, they may make you own up to the darker aspects of your power

could be worth it to try and make some friends in there, regardless - i doubt all of new wave jr is happy to be saddled with everything going on with that group

Awake 04-Apr-21 05:13 PM

True

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:19 PM

question: are sophia and emma in custody at this moment?

just good to check

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:44 PM

"Do you know where they are? Emma and Sophia?"

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 05:45 PM

"Emma Barnes has been detained. The other is still yet to be caught."

Dice Maiden BOT 04-Apr-21 05:45 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:45 PM

try sending out a signal for sophia to turn herself in

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:46 PM

I could try.

Turn yourself in.

Dice Maiden BOT 04-Apr-21 05:46 PM

(Command: 46)

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:46 PM

its worth trying it regularly

Shadow Stalker BOT 04-Apr-21 05:47 PM

{Turn yourself into anything but the weak bitch you are.}

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:48 PM

all you need to do is succeed in this contest of wills once

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:48 PM

Yeah.

She's got me blocked at the moment, but the moment that part of her lets its guard down, I can just try again.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:49 PM

i wonder if that'll disrupt her sleep schedule

like being subconsciously alert all the time

if so, fucking good

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:50 PM

Exactly.

Also, wow, I don't think I've seen Dad look this...

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:50 PM

furious?

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 05:50 PM

No, I've seen him angry before. I've seem him blow up in fury, when he found out that I was in the hospital.

But that was hot anger. This is cold, deathly still anger.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 05:51 PM

someone did actively try to murder you

its possible hes gotten so mad its wrapped right back around to being calm

Pika 04-Apr-21 05:53 PM

(Brb, dinner)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:18 PM

Maybe. I guess I just expected him to blow up.

Is that bad of me to say?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:19 PM

only a little, you know he has a temper

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:20 PM

Mostly from second-hand accounts, I've only seen him that mad once before.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:22 PM

you can probably let armsmaster know you'll do what you can to get sophia to turn herself in, and update him if the situation changes

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 06:22 PM

"When do you think 'the other' is going to be caught?"

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:22 PM

it might set both their minds at ease and mentioning sophia's good at escape stuff in an unprepped environment is probably critical for that too (edited)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:22 PM

"I was able to get her with my power, so if nothing else, I can just try to make her turn herself in. It hasn't worked yet, though - it'll probably take some time."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:24 PM

"The person in question, unfortunately, has a power that makes her very good at escaping captivity."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:24 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:25 PM

he just put together that its shadow stalker

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:25 PM

That's what I was thinking.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:25 PM

well, if nothing else, there's a mountain of evidence that shadow stalker was a bad seed they were trying to reign in before this

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:25 PM

He's not saying anything, though.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:26 PM

and it ultimately just comes down to a bureaucratic fuckup

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 06:26 PM

"Is there anything you can tell me about her power? Weaknesses?"

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:26 PM

"Electricity."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:27 PM

i wonder if you're liable to get any energy drink bugsnax with electric powers

i know literally flaming ones are an option

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:27 PM

Maybe. I hope so.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:28 PM

either way, it's worth setting up christmas lights around the house, maybe getting a backup generator

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:29 PM

Fairy lights in the middle of April would look a bit weird, but it's a good idea.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:29 PM

could do something maybe a bit artsy or decorative with it

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:30 PM

"Maybe we could string up some fairy lights. Some of the less Christmas-y ones."

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 06:30 PM

"Or coils of extension cord."

"I have some friends who might be able to help install protections in our rooms."

but more lights

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:31 PM

"Good. If you didn't want to risk staying at your house, the PRT would be willing to offer room and board until the perpetrator is caught."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:31 PM

Ooh, that looks real nice.

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 06:32 PM

"No thank you, I'd rather not have to deal with the extra complications that could cause."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:34 PM

Dad seems pretty set against the PRT at the moment.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:34 PM

makes sense, shadow stalker and all

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:35 PM

Yeah.

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:35 PM

"If you're sure you'll be safe, then I see no reason against it."

"Speaking of safety, that brings me to my next point."

"Being an outed, independent cape is dangerous. You won't have a secret identity to fall back on if a gang decides you're worth attacking or taking by force."

Danny BOT 04-Apr-21 06:37 PM

"The Unwritten Rules exist for a reason."

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:37 PM

"And not every villain is kind enough to follow them."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:38 PM

i'm a little surprised danny knows about the unwritten rules. then again, id imagine he might know folk who got into the caping biz

you might be able to find other independents in town, string together a team, or something of that nature

ironically, due to the unmasking, the notability might be a boon in that regard

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:40 PM

Would I be able to find enough other independents who are interested in forming a group?

I assume they would've had reasons for not joining the Wards or Protectorate.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:41 PM

offering an alternative where they can keep their independence and identities is an option

one sorely lacking in this town

i know of one person who might be interested in teaming up, if nothing else: dinah alcott, if only because coil's liable to kidnap her

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:42 PM

So that's one person.

Honestly, I'm wondering if I should join the Wards.

Limina Idling | Hours

i know of one person who might be interested in teaming up, if nothing else: dinah alcott, if only because coil's liable to kidnap her

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 06:43 PM

She's also not really useful in combat tho Rather than act as a deterrent against people breaking the rules, she would be encouraging them

So kidnappable.

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:43 PM

It sounds to me like Shadow Stalker was one bad egg in a mostly good organisation.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:43 PM

that's pretty much the case tbh

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 06:43 PM

Mostly the case yeah

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:44 PM

So, as long as I keep my powers a secret, I could potentially join the Wards.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:44 PM

they do power testing

theres maybe 8 other independent capes in town we dont know about, as well

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:45 PM

As far as they know, I can only create a limited number of minions, and I lose them at a fast enough rate not to justify feeding someone bugsnax until they pop for testing purposes.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:46 PM

true

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 06:47 PM

True. But... you'd be relying on the testing people to not go "what if we did even more?" on some rats or something. THer's a good chance you can get away with it, but also a good chance you can't.

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:47 PM

But why would they want to try it at all?

And I could just say no, right?

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 06:48 PM

Because your power has already demonstrated negative effects on Lung. They'd want to know what those effects are, precisely.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:48 PM

human masters get a lot of scrutiny, generally speaking

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:48 PM

Right.

I can see your point there.

Except, wouldn't they be more scared of a human master that doesn't work for them than one that does?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:49 PM

...point

im still concerned that they may freak about the s-class implications your power has

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:50 PM

Yeah...

Awake 04-Apr-21 06:50 PM

Tbh working with the government is the best way to avoid a kill order in this case

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:50 PM

The thing is that, if I stay indie, they'll have a far lower chance of finding out my secret.

But they're probably scared I'll try something with Battery.

I've been getting snippets of her thoughts, and she's not exactly happy with me.

Awake 04-Apr-21 06:52 PM

Yeah, having oversight would make people less likely to freak out

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:52 PM

is there any way on your end to accelerate the desnakkification?

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 06:52 PM

But what if you just don't do something with Battery Trust is built over time. Build a history of not abusing your powers.

Awake 04-Apr-21 06:53 PM

Yeah. A good point

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:53 PM

yee

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:55 PM

"By the way, a bit of a non-sequitur, but was Panacea able to help with Battery?"

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:55 PM

"No. Your power didn't register as living matter to her, so short of getting Battery a new leg, Panacea can't help."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:55 PM

"Oh."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:56 PM

thats probably for the best, tbh, panacea wouldve flipped if she discovered how bugsnax work

outside of a controlled explanation, anyways

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:57 PM

Ah. That would've been bad.

Awake 04-Apr-21 06:57 PM

So they don't count as living matter. Wonder if they count as non-living or if they hit that sweet spot

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:57 PM

manton favored?

Awake 04-Apr-21 06:58 PM

Might also be because of how out of context they are to the shards

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 06:59 PM

"The current theory is that they're some manner of projection, which could be why their effect fades over time."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 06:59 PM

Huh, really?

I didn't feel like that was the case.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 06:59 PM

very detailed projection, since one grapeskeeto left juices in your room after getting shot (edited)

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 07:00 PM

The bugsnax converting something else before is a pretty clear sign that it's not the case

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 07:00 PM

Maybe they just can't make sense of snakmatter or something.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 07:00 PM

its a weird thing yeah

randomhuman44 04-Apr-21 07:01 PM

It's just the Protectorate trying to fit your power in with general parahuman power rules.

Awake 04-Apr-21 07:01 PM

True

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 07:01 PM

That would make sense.

So back to the Wards.

"Back to the topic at hand, do you think New Wave would be willing to accept new members?"

Armsmaster BOT 04-Apr-21 07:03 PM

"I wouldn't know. You'd be better off asking them yourself. From my understanding, though, they stopped being interested in recruiting new members a while ago."

Maybe, but that could just give a harder rebound if she pushes back.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:09 PM

true

so, probably wanna save that for when you plan on lying down for a while anyways

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:10 PM

Yeah.

Dad's driving Dinah home, and she asked me to come with.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:11 PM

probably should

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:11 PM

Yeah.

Well, she introduced me as her friend to her parents. They seemed to buy it.

I mean, I guess we are friends, kinda.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:12 PM

congrats, you're making superpowered friends

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:12 PM

I guess I am.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:13 PM

and tomorrow, probably glory girl and panacea

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:13 PM

I can only hope.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:13 PM

new wave's got its problems, but overall they mean well

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:16 PM

I guess it could be a lot worse, yeah.

Well, I guess I'll go to bed now.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:17 PM

sleep well

Pika 04-Apr-21 11:18 PM

(Just realised I could roll random bugsnax for Taylor to get)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:18 PM

Thanks, I will.

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:26 PM

Oh, dammit. Were they fighting while I was asleep?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:26 PM

seems like it, though they knocked it off at some point

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:26 PM

I'll need to keep them in separate terrariums, then.

The Kweebles are fine sharing, but these guys might not be quite as happy with it.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:27 PM

they like chocolate too, so you may be able to keep em docile like that

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:27 PM

Hopefully. The chocolate sauce plant grows fast.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:28 PM

bugsnax plants grow ridiculously quick

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:40 PM

(rip)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:40 PM

I hate that I had to miss school yesterday. Doing it then feels like it's going to be easier to do it in the future.

Do I want to try going again today?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:40 PM

try it, yea

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:40 PM

Okay.

Should I bring a minion with me hidden in my backpack, just in case?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:42 PM

if it gets loose, you might get charged with 'assault with a parahuman power' but it shouldnt get loose

do you wanna even pretend you arent snaktooth is the question

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:42 PM

It'll be right next to me the whole time, so there's basically no way I could lose control.

That's a good point.

I could just straight-up come to school on the Scoopy Banoopy or something.

See how people deal with that.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:43 PM

i have no clue if thats even legal or not lol i think glory girl isnt supposed to use her powers in school?

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:44 PM

No clue.

Well, as long as I don't use them in school, it should be fine, right? I could just park the Scoopy Banoopy outside, and everything would be fine.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:45 PM

what if it wanders off

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:45 PM

My control range is three city blocks in radius. I'll be fine.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:46 PM

fair nuff, just have to worry about this stuff

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:46 PM

Honestly, it would be more dangerous to leave it at home.

Yeah. Good to be paranoid.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:46 PM

...that feels like some kind of oxymoron lol

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:47 PM

It really does.

Dad was able to rustle up a whole bunch of really nice terrariums, with one big enough to keep Scoopy.

So it should be fine to leave it at home, but it's also safe to bring it with me.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:49 PM

so it really just comes down to: do you wanna act like you aren't snaktooth

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:49 PM

Is there a point in breaking the polite ignorance yet?

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:50 PM

it'd be a show of confidence, but that's about it

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:50 PM

Hopefully, people will just keep pretending that they don't know I'm a cape.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:50 PM

it may also get people to back the fuck off

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:50 PM

But if anyone confronts me about it, I could make a show of confidence.

Maybe I could plant some bugsnax in hidden places around the school, just in case.

Hide them in opaque bags and drop them around the outside of the school.

No, that would be a pain to have to deal with every day.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:51 PM

agreed

and like some rando would eventually check em

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:52 PM

Yeah.

I'll just keep one bugsnak in my backpack for now. Maybe one of the Lesser Cocomites, since they're on the tougher end.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:52 PM

that works

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:53 PM

Well, here I go.

This isn't going to be fun.

Dice Maiden BOT 04-Apr-21 11:54 PM

(Reaction: 59)

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:54 PM

It seems like everyone is content to ignore me if I ignore them.

Madison and her cronies are actively avoiding me, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:54 PM

well, honestly thats the best reaction

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:54 PM

But so is pretty much everyone else.

Trevor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:55 PM

"Hey, Taylor, are you doing okay?"

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:55 PM

madison was a clinger on to emma's group. if things went how they did normally, she'd regret it to the point she'd actually go and seek some counseling

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:55 PM

Almost everyone.

Ah.

Reply to: madison was a clinger on to emma's group. if things went how they did normally, she'd regret it to t…

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:55 PM

huh. i guess coil's having trevor try to get into your friend group

nothing wrong with playing along

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:56 PM

Might as well.

"It's going as well as it could be."

"At least Madison's group is leaving me alone now."

Trevor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:57 PM

"That's... the cutesy brat, right?"

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:57 PM

someone finally says it

Trevor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:57 PM

"I don't really pay that much attention to the other students, honestly. Too much shit outside of school to deal with."

Taylor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:58 PM

"Be glad you don't know her better. She's a bitch."

Trevor BOT 04-Apr-21 11:58 PM

"Figured."

Limina Idling | Hours 04-Apr-21 11:58 PM

some part of me wonders what sort of leverage coil has over the guy

coil is generally speaking a straight shooter with his underlings so it could be anything from financial support to dealing with personal problems in his life

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:00 AM

Good to know.

Maybe something to do with his trigger? I have no idea.

"How about you? How are things on your end?"

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:01 AM

it could be something to do with the trigger - pressure over time and all

Trevor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:02 AM

"I'm as fine as ever, I guess. My boss has been freaking out over something, so he's been calling me in so I can help with it."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:03 AM

well. i think we know exactly what hes freaking over

lol

definitely sounds hectic though

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

Am I really that big a deal to Coil?

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

you could turn this place into the next ellisburg

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

Oh.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

you have anti-precog powers in your head

you are the only one in control of bugsnax

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

You said he's an Ellisburg survivor, right?

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:04 AM

yep.

him and director piggot (edited)

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:05 AM

I've heard Dad mention something about the Ellisburg raid, but he didn't go into much detail.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:05 AM

.

why was your dad talking about ellisburg.

was.

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:05 AM

I think he left around that time as well. Maybe he heard the story and quit because of it.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:06 AM

Oh My God Was Your Dad In Fucking Ellisburg?????

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:06 AM

This was when I was pretty young. I don't think he expected me to hear it.

He could've been? I dunno.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:06 AM

it'd explain things

his discomfort around bugsnax, former position in the PRT that he left

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:06 AM

Yeah.

Is it... would it be bad to ask him about it?

I could be bringing up old trauma here.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:07 AM

considering your power, better to rip the bandaid off

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:07 AM

Yeah...

"Do you like your job?"

Trevor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:08 AM

"Oh, it's great! My boss is awesome. He actually tries to help with all the shit in the city."

"'Sides, the pay is great."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:08 AM

cause he wants to take it over and rule it like this is africa

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:09 AM

And will kidnap middle schoolers to do it.

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:09 AM

and drug them to the gills

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:09 AM

Fucking hell.

"I'm considering joining the Wards at the moment, which'll be a pretty good career path later on."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:10 AM

may as well ask where he works

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:10 AM

"Where do you work? It sounds like one hell of a job you have."

Trevor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:11 AM

"Place called Fortress Construction. They deal with Endbringer shelters."

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:11 AM

yep, that checks out, coil owns that in his civ ID i think

Taylor BOT 05-Apr-21 12:12 AM

I think Dad's mentioned that company before. I never knew it was owned by a villain, though.

First Medhall, and now Fortress...

Limina Idling | Hours 05-Apr-21 12:13 AM
