Hi crazy lass

Ready for adventure

Full of bodily harm, feelings and rewards (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:31 PM

"!"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:31 PM

Ye

You hear me right

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:31 PM

"Who's there?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:31 PM

A voice in ya head

I thought it was clear

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:32 PM

"Are you a villain? What are your intentions?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:32 PM

Don’t care and don’t care

I’m just connected to a lot of people around what ya call da multiverse

Ya aren’t the first Hebert

Nor to ask those questions

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:33 PM

"What?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:33 PM

Are ya deaf?

I’m seriously asking

Because I think I explained it pretty well lass

Multiverse, connected

Your not the first

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:34 PM

"I find this very hard to believe."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:34 PM

It is

But man is a wild ride

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:34 PM

that was not the best introduction to this nonsense you could've gotten

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

But the most direct one

She must embrace craziness

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

there's a difference between the easy route and the best route

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

We don’t want another Jason incident

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

anyways, yes hi, welcome to the world of having superpowers

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

Mhm

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:35 PM

our communication apparently came pre-packaged with them

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

We are here to annoy cough guide you (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

"I already have powers. I had them for some time before this happened."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

bonus powers

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

"..."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

Just be glad you have more

Miss bugs (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

"Why isn't my power working? Are you doing this?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

Nah

Thats the current boss

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:36 PM

oh. looks like your old power got ate

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:37 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:37 PM

...probably for the best, it was a brain parasite

Taylor

"..."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:37 PM

Oh yeah we have bosses

They own you

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:37 PM

no, they don't, just the power, stop being a dick

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:37 PM

They can pretty much do anything

But they are pretty relaxed

They even made a trade for you

Your old multitasking and several blocks of insect control for...

What she got?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:38 PM

"Insect control? What are you talking about?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:38 PM

Oh nice one of those alt triggers

You got stuffed inside a locker?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:39 PM

you really need to learn a little tact

you dont just ask about traumatic events so flippantly like that

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:39 PM

If she didn’t get that power then is another trigger event

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:39 PM

in this case, a better question to ask would be what her old power was

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

"I'm a tinker. Or was, if you're telling the truth."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

Oh no

You still are lass

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

you're now a tinker/trump

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

More special

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

"Why do you keep calling me a 'lass'?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

Because your a girl

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

because lucky's a bit of a whimsical ass a la captain jack sparrow from pirates of the caribbean

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:40 PM

And haven’t told us your name

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:41 PM

it's. on display, man.

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:41 PM

We could assume is Taylor for all the alternates

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:41 PM

"I'm not a girl. What are you talking about?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:41 PM

Well a lad then

Those are pretty rare

Your name still Taylor right?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:42 PM

"I'm not about to tell you my real name."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:42 PM

It is then

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:42 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:42 PM

sidestepping the prying

anyways, your new powerset is that you're a tinker/trump a la dauntless

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:42 PM

"Who do you think I am?"

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

taylor hebert, student of winslow high

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

Taylor Hebert or at least one of the endless alternates

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

thats what your display is on here

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

"..."

"You think I'm Weaver?"

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

oh christ, the apocalypse is near if she's using that name, i suspect

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:43 PM

Yep

Well, bad news at best you have a year and a half before the end of your world

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

no, it's very likely less

jack slash is a bastard

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

That’s why is at best case scenario

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

"Gold morning already happened."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

Oh nice

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

oh.

...wait, why are you calling her 'weaver' then

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

Then you have 2 years before the next one

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

didnt she get called 'khepri'?

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

Maybe the lad worked with her

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:44 PM

"...I'm not going to call her that."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

Well either way

Hello T-man

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

hm... tecton, maybe defiant

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

You have two years or less if the wardens are a thing before all goes to shit

Again

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

"It's Defiant."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

Oh Collin it is

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:45 PM

"How do you know my name?"

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:46 PM

Told ya

Multiverse

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:46 PM

we know how that story plays out, beginning to end - someone wrote about it over here

from taylor's perspective

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:46 PM

"..."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:46 PM

And a lot of variants (edited)

Now after the soul crushing revelation number one

Time for number two

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

it occasionally diverged into other people's perspectives

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

What would you feel if I say endbringer tier enemies will appear in mass around all the parahuman inhabited worlds (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

"I wouldn't believe you."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

Well shit for ya man

A Little March rabbit will make it happen

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

calm down a little lucky, we have to actually explain shit first, let's address the here and now

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:47 PM

For she is cray cray

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:48 PM

youre just jumping from plot point to plot point

ok, so. first off: broken triggers

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:48 PM

Scion regulated so people didn’t die or transformed horrible

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:48 PM

theyre a consequence of zion dying, and no other shard picking up the slack

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:48 PM

That’s why C53 are so messed up, their controller was out from the start (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:49 PM

"I've heard about broken triggers, at least."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:49 PM

Nice

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:49 PM

not quite, that also has to do with them being connected with multiple different powers

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:49 PM

So wardens are a thing?

The city?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:49 PM

"Yes."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:50 PM

And Antares is around?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:50 PM

this is something else, which will blow up as time goes on - if scion and the endbringers are living shard constructs, that assigns agency to the agents which means they can do things like go beyond their normal reach

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:50 PM

"Ah."

"I haven't heard of an Antares."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:50 PM

So before Ward then

1 year at maximum before the rabbit cunt break the ice

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:51 PM

statistical outliers, like your sleepers, ash beasts, etc. are more likely to crop up without someone telling powers how to format themselves correctly

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:51 PM

^

Which is bad to say

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:51 PM

"Shit."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:51 PM

The problem is that this can happen to already existing parahumans

Now name the worst ones that it could happen too?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:52 PM

much like second triggers, broken triggers can happen to people with already existing shard connections, which can subsume multiple capes for an endbringer-lite

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:52 PM

Named Titan

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:52 PM

even case-53s and cauldron capes

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

"That's going to be an issue."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

It is

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

"Did you take my cybernetics offline? I'm not getting my HUD."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

Mostly because fedora, Valkyrie, Dauntless, Victor, Fume (edited)

Taylor

"Did you take my cybernetics offline? I'm not getting my HUD."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

Also a new brand body

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

you might've gotten those stripped out when you got the celestial forge

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:53 PM

All free from the benefactor

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:54 PM

check your person, you may have a key on it

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:54 PM

"There's something on a chain around my neck."

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:54 PM

either that or you may have gotten dropped into taylor's body circa 2011 or something

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 09:55 PM

Nice use it in a door

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:55 PM

"Hold on, I need to find the light switch."

"Ah, here it is."

"..."

"!"

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:56 PM

did i guess right?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 09:56 PM

"Wh-what?"

"..."

"...I think you did."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 09:57 PM

ooh boy. well, that's an issue

looks like you'll be having a countdown until gold morning, in this case

hopefully you get powers or charges for them at a fairly steady rate, otherwise things are gonna come out looking fairly dire

the celestial forge at it's peak is a powerset that could uplift a civilization with relative ease

a universe, if it's v2

or even a multiverse

if it's one of the variants, i think the apocalypse is liable to hit full force this time around

anyways. eventually you'll be able to unlock biotinkering, which ought to help with the whole body-mind issue

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 10:08 PM

Mhm

Well either way, good luck

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:09 PM

"Thanks."

SFX and/or Camera BOT 01-Apr-21 10:09 PM

*Knock, knock*

Danny BOT 01-Apr-21 10:09 PM

"Taylor, are you talking to someone?"

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:09 PM

and here comes danny, oh boy

'thinking out loud' works as an excuse

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:09 PM

"Just talking to myself, don't worry."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:10 PM

speaking of which, we should probably see if you can communicate to us via thought

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:10 PM

Can you hear me?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:10 PM

yep, that seems to work

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:10 PM

Good.

Danny BOT 01-Apr-21 10:11 PM

"Okay, good night, then."

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:11 PM

"Good night."

"..."

...

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:12 PM

well, now to figure out how to tackle all this

the first step is the key

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:12 PM

Right.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:12 PM

that ought to be basically bound to you - can't get lost, can't be permanently destroyed, etc

it leads to a pocket dimension when used in a door - cant close the door entirely once inside, but that's what it is

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:12 PM

This won't alert Weaver's father, will it?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:13 PM

it might, so if it's still late, give him some time to sleep

it should only be as loud as the door itself is

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:14 PM

Good to know.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:15 PM

as for your new power, it more or less draws on many works of fiction and just tries to make it work

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:15 PM

"I... see?"

SFX and/or Camera BOT 01-Apr-21 10:15 PM

*Click*

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:16 PM

ill grab a story about another celestial forge user

https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/brocktons-celestial-forge-worm-jumpchain.70036/reader/

Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

A minor background character from Worm gets access to a compounding series of Jumpchain crafting powers and is left to figure things out with nothing but the nature of his abilities and a vague connection to his passenger for guidance.

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:16 PM

Is this a fanfiction?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:16 PM

basically

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 10:16 PM

Yes

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:17 PM

...

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:17 PM

a lot of the supernatural aspect to our world comes from people being able to write stories about other worlds

of course, without a reliable way to confirm/deny that it's actually supernatural, like, say, chatting in realtime with someone involved in this sort of stuff, it can be hard to tell its supernatural at all

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:19 PM

Ah.

The key leads to a room that looks 5m x 5m x 5m in size.

Is that what you expected?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:20 PM

pretty much, yeah

its a chunk of something known as the celestial warehouse

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:21 PM

I see.

Avrae BOT 01-Apr-21 10:21 PM

@Pika

i wouldnt be shocked one way or the other if there was/wasn't a lil workshop of sorts in there- oh ho ho

and now we unlock constellations

congrats, colin, you got the v2 forge

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:26 PM

'Saint'?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:26 PM

no relation to the wannabe cape

if i had to guess, it's basically here to make dice rolls

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:27 PM

And 'lazypika (probably Dragon)'?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:28 PM

ive seen a Benefactor go by pika, so, yeah, there's that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:28 PM

So, they're essentially my new passenger?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:29 PM

less of a malevolent goal in mind than passengers, i can all but guarantee that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:29 PM

At least there's that.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:30 PM

and it looks like your first power is... making designs more efficient

huh.

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:30 PM

Ironic. Are they meant to be random?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:30 PM

pretty sure, yeah

either that or they're cherry picked to a degree but its hard to say what that degree is

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:31 PM

I really have no clue.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:31 PM

anyways, that was all but the weakest type of power you can get

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:31 PM

Ah.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:31 PM

you can see the general strength by the number of CP in it

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:32 PM

And 100CP is the weakest?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:32 PM

well, no, but it's very low

50 cp and free are just below it

meanwhile it goes all the way up to 600 cp in general

i recall that omni-tinkering is about 800 cp

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:33 PM

I see.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:33 PM

with adjustable blackboxing

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:33 PM

This sounds hard to believe, but I'll just have to wait and see.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:34 PM

so, a good thing to do at this moment is establish chronology

and im not saying that just cause of my name and icon on here lol

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:34 PM

I see a school bag, I'll check if there's any schoolwork with dates on it.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:34 PM

if there's an art project it can be assumed its probably the 10th or 11th

or, hell, if it's juice stained its probably around there

if not, probably either before or after then 10-11th of april i mean

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:36 PM

The most recent date is for March the 31st.

So possibly April the 1st?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:36 PM

possibly, yeah

so, thoughts: you may be able to get a GED and skip high school, freeing up time to tinker (edited)

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:37 PM

I'd have to check the minimum age you can get a GED at.

...If I want to keep my cover, I'm going to have to go to school.

This isn't going to be fun.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:38 PM

at least people arent liable to assume M/S bullshit

you might be able to get taylor's bullies to back the hell off, though, if she's dealin with em. i assume there's a reason she hasn't triggered

or has no corona or anything. tho tht could be solved by checking the basement coal chute for her costume and/or looking for her journals where she documented hero ideas

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:40 PM

I found some journals.

Ah, yes, they do have notes about capes in them.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:41 PM

probably best to keep those tucked away somewhere, if they mention bug control or anything

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:41 PM

...They do.

I'll check that coal chute.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:42 PM

welp. good news is that you already know sophia's breaking probation and can prolly get her busted for that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:43 PM

Ah. Yes. I remember that.

...

Skitter's costume is here.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:44 PM

welp. at least you'll have something to work on

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:44 PM

...

"Dammit..."

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:45 PM

don't beat yourself up over this, you didn't exactly have any options there

you didnt choose to bodysnatch her or anything, it just happened. and if you are pissed at yourself, just remember that you've got to deal with the problems she faced now, too

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:46 PM

Right.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:47 PM

you'll have to use wildly different tactics, as well - i dont think the original strategy is an option anymore

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:47 PM

Well, I'm hardly about to join a villain group as an escape from my problems, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:48 PM

true, and with some luck, you won't even need to join a group at all

celestial forge breaks a lot of the classic tinker rules hard

see: getting a pocket dimension as your first big thing

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:49 PM

...I can't join the guild since I'm legally under 18.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:50 PM

well, no, but with time you could potentially form your own group

that's really the deciding factor here, how long it takes you to ramp up

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:51 PM

I would've given an arm to have my power grow over time like this, a couple of years ago.

Or, well, now.

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Apr-21 10:51 PM

Mhm

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:52 PM

what's more is that due to the utterly out of context nature of your powers, every time you get a new one you throw all precognitive models out of wack

up to and including zion and ziz

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:55 PM

Noted.

...I feel so tired.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:55 PM

you did get up in the middle of the night

time to go to bed

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:56 PM

...

How long has it been since I last had to sleep for a full night?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:56 PM

probably more than a couple years

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:57 PM

Not since my first few years as a cape.

No, 8 hours is the normal number, right?

Not since I was in middle school, probably.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:57 PM

8 hours is the healthy number

normal is probably something else entirely

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:58 PM

I suppose so.

Well, nothing left to do but sleep.

...

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 10:58 PM

sleep well

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 10:59 PM

Dammit. I really don't like the idea of being unconscious for that long.

I know I don't have any enemies, but I'm going to be unconscious alone for hours.

Even when I slept in the last couple of years, Dragon was there to watch over me.

God. Dragon. She still has all of her restrictions, doesn't she?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:01 PM

at full power, you can probably smash through them with relative ease

hell, even before then you'd be able to start working on making ais of your own, to say nothing of figuring out how to modify em

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:02 PM

...

I don't know how to feel about that.

Making an AI myself?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:03 PM

if you need something to occupy your mind until you can't stay awake, id recommend the story i linked. it's entertainment and informative on what you can expect from a v1 forge

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:03 PM

I see.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:03 PM

the main character does end up making a couple AI - fleet and survey respectively

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:04 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:04 PM

fair nuff

i will warn you, on the subject of stuff that can happen to you that happened in that story, you can get fully-fledged beings from a given roll of the dice

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:05 PM

What?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:06 PM

the forge can give items as well as powers, as evidenced by that key - thinking beings are a step up, and while theyre a bit rarer in the forge, its still possible for you to end up with them multiple times

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:07 PM

Somehow.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:15 PM

hm... might be a body mod thing

i cant recall off the top of my head if there's a power in any body mod supplements that lets you wake up well rested regardless of circumstances, but it sounds plausible

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:16 PM

From what I can tell, Weaver's body doesn't seem particularly modded in any way.

It seems like the normal body of a teenage girl, not that I'm any sort of expert on the topic.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:17 PM

body mod is weird. but anyways, school

I might go to a public library, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:19 PM

that's what she usually did

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:19 PM

Would the teachers notice if I skipped school?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:20 PM

i doubt it

winslow is that kind of school

its pretty much every bad rumor you could hear about a public school rolled up into one, short of being shut down

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:21 PM

Well, it'll be working to my advantage here.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:22 PM

make sure you dont skip meals either, btw

just a thought that occurred to me that you might be used to more or less not doin that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:22 PM

Ah. I'm back to three proper meals a day.

I don't have access to the nutrient paste any more.

...

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:23 PM

on one hand, less efficient use of time, you could argue. on the other, you dont need to ration it quite as much at the moment

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:24 PM

It's not like nutrient paste was difficult to make or anything.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:24 PM

true

though, i would like to point out, in the v1 story, attaching special effects to cooked food was something that pretty regularly happened

once you're in proper 'build anything and break entropy' mode you should probably still keep in mind effects that could be tagged onto that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:26 PM

Ah.

How can anyone deal with having long hair? It gets everywhere.

I have half a mind to just shave it all off.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:26 PM

danny would probably freak out over that, cause taylor was really attached to the style (edited)

ponytails tend to be how people deal with long hair

or buns

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:27 PM

*Sigh*

I'll try a braid.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:27 PM

that works

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:28 PM

That was... surprisingly easy.

This is probably the first time I've braided real hair and not the synthetic stuff.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:29 PM

huh. well, i guess practice braiding the synthetic stuff worked out well for you

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:30 PM

That or the efficiency power.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:31 PM

could be both, could be both

...which implies the efficiency power goes beyond equipment and into other facets of stuff

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:31 PM

Despite the title, the description only mentions designs.

On the other hand, it also mentions equipment.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:32 PM

oh yeah, sure enough. it explicitly just says designs are better and equipment gets the efficiency boost

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:34 PM

The exact wording matters a lot with these, I suppose.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:34 PM

yep. a lot of the time its left up to source material and wording alone

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:34 PM

When did Weaver turn 16 again?

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:35 PM

june 19, 1995 is her birthay (edited)

so, a couple months

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:36 PM

Ah. You need to be 16 to get a GED in NH.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:37 PM

ah, shit

well, a good way to get out of school is telling danny about the bullying, coming forward with the journal she kept on said bullying and all that

you can then propose the whole GED thing, and potentially get shadow stalker's misconduct in her civ ID revealed

danny's prone to major anger though he doesnt direct it at taylor, so watch out for that and try to manage it (edited)

twice. i accidentally hit enter twice

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:39 PM

It's a work day for him. If I want to reveal all of this, I'll at least save it for the weekend.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:39 PM

good idea

hm. so, library

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:41 PM

It's a friday today, so the weekend starts tomorrow.

Library, yes.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:42 PM

there anything else you can think to look up?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:43 PM

It seems like my past self is still active, so me being here doesn't seem to affect him.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:43 PM

well, that's good at least

same patrol routes and everything?

as far as you can tell i mean

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:44 PM

As far as I can tell, yes.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:44 PM

right, well, doesn't seem to be a time travelling freaky friday situation either, in that case

...i just had a thought. are you able to use your power recursively on your own designs?

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:48 PM

It seems like I can't.

It's not an automatic thing - it's more like knowing the principals of efficient design.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:48 PM

ah. well, at least there's that

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:51 PM

I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself, now.

speaking of which, may wanna celebrate your new scavenging skill with a nice lunch

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:56 PM

I saw some leftover food in the fridge, I can have that.

Limina Idling | Hours 01-Apr-21 11:56 PM

that works

you may also be able to gather up stuff from the basement that danny isnt liable to look for as parts for future tinkering

you can store stuff in the cosmic warehouse and still shut it and pull the key out of the door and everything

Taylor BOT 01-Apr-21 11:58 PM

I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to build yet, so I might hold off on that.

Taylor BOT 02-Apr-21 12:00 AM

Of course. The old gangs will all still be active.

Limina Idling | Hours 02-Apr-21 12:00 AM

...had a thought. because shards are mostly using earth bet for R&D you may end up as a walking sechen range booster

Taylor BOT 02-Apr-21 12:00 AM

The E88, the ABB, Coil...

Sechen range?

The term sounds vaguely familiar.

Limina Idling | Hours 02-Apr-21 12:01 AM

its like how in tune with your power you are, happens when you're in a similar situation as your trigger event

like how taylor's range would get boosted by a few blocks when she felt trapped

Taylor BOT 02-Apr-21 12:01 AM

Yes, I'm familiar with the concept, I just didn't know the name.

Dice Maiden BOT 02-Apr-21 12:02 AM

Taylor BOT 02-Apr-21 12:02 AM

Ah.

Limina Idling | Hours 02-Apr-21 12:03 AM

you should be basically fine, since 100 is well within the range of mortal skill usually

Limina Idling | Hours 02-Apr-21 12:07 AM

so. which gang do you wanna prioritize, when the time comes?

Taylor BOT 02-Apr-21 12:07 AM

The ABB are set to do the most damage in the near future.

After that, the Empire have the most blood on their hands.

Limina Idling | Hours 02-Apr-21 12:08 AM

Well, I suppose there's not much else I could do with it.

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 03:00 PM

I feel like helping hookwolf get his wallet back is somehow breaking some moral code lol

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:01 PM

I could dispose of it, potentially.

I don't think it's that important either way. Do what you want.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:03 PM

Part of me is tempted to keep it. Get as much as I can out of it.

Damn. I'm not going to have the sorts of resources at my disposal that I used to, am I?

The perks of working for the Protectorate or the Guild.

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 03:05 PM

Hah. Give it to the police after taking all the money out of it? Also, is there anything stopping you from joining the Protectorate?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:05 PM

I suppose not.

I'm just not particularly comfortable spending much time around my past self.

Well, I'll keep the walle for now. If I change my mind, I can simply return it them.

Then*

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:30 PM

If not for the danger, I'd consider going looking for scrap parts.

Not that I can make anything useful yet.

...It just sank in that I have a power that grows over time.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:47 PM

Hitting a power ceiling is something I had to struggle with for so long.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 03:47 PM

Oh wait that reminds me, you would remember how the tinker supply tracking works right? Oh yeah, it must be both liberating but odd as heck?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:48 PM

I know the PRT's tinker tracing protocols, but the gangs probably have things in place.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 03:48 PM

Fair, I'm just curious if the ship graveyard was ever tracked

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:48 PM

'Liberating but odd as heck' sums it up pretty well.

Enough people have taken row boats out to explore the shipwrecks there that it shouldn't catch too much attention. It also means that most of the useful parts have been taken.

Well, there'd be no harm in checking them out myself.

Lucky_Plucky21 03-Apr-21 03:49 PM

Yep

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:52 PM

I don't think I've ever hired a kayak before, actually.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 03:52 PM

I did think of one other option, though I don't recall which power you got so it might not be as effective as I'm thinking. I haven't ether but that...sounds weird for some reason?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:53 PM

I have two powers so far. One that makes my designs more efficient, and another that makes me better at scavenging.

Lucky_Plucky21 03-Apr-21 03:55 PM

Oh good

Time to break some trash

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 03:56 PM

Ok, I thought about maybe watching for the days computer or electronic stores throw away stuff and pick through for parts you need then just taking like a whole computer if you just need the ram sticks. It would be easier to carry and less suspicious. But that's just me thinking out loud.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:56 PM

That could work, yes.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 03:57 PM

Thought it was worth the thought at least, it's easier to hide what your looking for if your not taking whole sets of electronics.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 03:59 PM

I feel the main thing to consider about that is doing it surreptitiously enough that I won't be noticed. A teenager rooting around in an electronics store's trash is a blaring sign to anyone who knows what to look for.

So I'd need some sort of disguise, a trick to do it surreptitiously, or something to do it for me.

Maybe if I used the warehouse, I could make it a far faster job.

Find an empty trash can that matches the one outside the store, then switch them out.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:03 PM

Hm.....that is certainly the best option to hide away your prizes. There is also the idea of going out at night to try and limit the amount of people seeing you though Capes operate more at night (which you would know obviously) but I don't see another option with the trash can switching unless your confident you can do it fast enough?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:07 PM

Going out at night is high risk, high reward. If anyone sees me, they'll definitely think I'm trying to hide something. On the other hand, that's if anyone sees me at all.

Damn. Going back to scavenging for materials is one hell of a step back.

Lucky_Plucky21 03-Apr-21 04:10 PM

Yay

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:10 PM

We all have to start somewhere, new power new journey to build back up. But I know the feeling, done programming before :/

Lucky_Plucky21 03-Apr-21 04:10 PM

Backtracking

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:12 PM

The greatest annoyance but most needed....but there is one thing, you won't be starting out knowing nothing. Even if you lack the Tinker database you remember what you did before tech wise (even if without details).

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:14 PM

Good point. If I get some powers that let me actually start making tech, I still remember enough of the principals from my old designs that I could still use them.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:15 PM

Yep, and you can say you were 'inspired' by Armsmaster. Plus you can innovate new ideas by your own merit then just piggybacking. I think you'll enjoy that.

But you got a plan now. Um remind me, did your warehouse come with any tools? If you mentioned earlier I'm sorry, time flows different between us.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:18 PM

It's fine, don't worry.

As far as I know, it's just a blank 125m^3 cube.

Will more be added onto it over time?

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 04:19 PM

Yes. Ther are plenty of things in the Forge that come as addon areas

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:20 PM

If I recall correctly there are perks that will add labs,workshops and in one case a volcano forge. It makes more sense if you get it as it adds...unusual properties to the metals.

But that does mean we'll need tools first and foremost before proper projects...and maybe tables and chairs.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:22 PM

I'll have to check with Weaver's father to see if he has any tools I could use.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:23 PM

If I recall, which might be fanon, there should be some that you could sneak from time to time.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:23 PM

What I will do is spend some time taking care of Mr Hebert's tools.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:29 PM

Fair enough, maybe check PHO or the news to get a feel for what's going on? Finger on the pulse and all.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:30 PM

Good idea.

There don't seem to be any dramatic deviations from what I expected, at least.

This computer is painfully slow.

At this point, I just leave the room each time while I wait for things to load.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:33 PM

I don't blame you, the computer is a old model even by our standards. But good, no deviations yet.

Might be a bit early considering we don't even have one project yet but thought on a name?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:34 PM

If other people are in the same situation as me, they'll be making waves as well. I suppose it is a bit early, but it's good to keep on top of things.

As for a code name, there's no reason not to stick with Defiant.

I may have to pick a different aesthetic, but the name is something I can keep well enough.

Fair enough, considering you went with blue last time...perhaps a Darker blue at least? Navy blue? (edited)

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:38 PM

I used a relatively dark blue then, more of a midnight blue. I can stick with green, but I'm not sure if I can use the dragon aesthetic anymore unless I want to look like I'm a Dragon wannabe.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:39 PM

That's...true

Hm any particular colors? I can offer some and see what sticks?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:41 PM

Green and gold should suit, but I'm also open to suggestions.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:42 PM

Hm I'd suggest black and gold but probably not the best PR combo even if it can go for a regal match up.

maybe a teal and gold? Hm....

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:44 PM

I have Weaver's old Skitter costume, though it doesn't seem to have been fully complete. If nothing else, I could use parts of that.

Though it looks villainous enough that I'd want to at least try to paint or dye it a different color.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:46 PM

True, plus the insect look can be played off as 'early design' or so. If you can dye it...it's black right now right? Or a grey-black? I don't recall personally

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:47 PM

It's black with gray panelling.

I'd need to find some sort of dye to use.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:48 PM

True....I don't really know personally besides going and buying some?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:49 PM

ok im here now

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:49 PM

Hey hours

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:49 PM

Hello.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:49 PM

so, aesthetics: part of your powerset is gonna be making cloth into potential amazing armor as well as armor

in general i wouldnt commit to a single design forever in case you get a 600 cp perk that just flips all your work upside down

as for parts, getting a part time job at an electronics store might work out

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:50 PM

Oh, that's something I never considered.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:50 PM

...I forgot about that. Hm, slight issue might be time...but that could honestly work out if Danny lets her.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:50 PM

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever actually applied for a job the normal way.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:51 PM

First time for everything then

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:51 PM

could ask danny for some help, he might know a guy who knows a guy

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:51 PM

That works.

How fast does this power grow? I'd feel bad about starting a job and then being trapped in it once I grow beyond needing it.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:53 PM

one boost at lunch, another at noon - so, bidaily is how fast it could potentially grow, with the game changing stuff coming in after 3 days of not getting anything

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:53 PM

I'm wondering how big each boost is.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:53 PM

One of the problems with that is that not everything is priced to their respective strength

so a 100 can in theory be more useful then a 400.

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 04:54 PM

Randomly. Generally perks are more powerful the more CP, but sometimes there are near useless ones or ones that are obscenely overpwered.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:55 PM

Ah.

Oh, it looks like Mr Hebert is home.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:55 PM

well, you'll have the opportunity to ask him for help finding a job

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:56 PM

Mhm

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:56 PM

or. wait is it friday

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:56 PM

It is.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 04:57 PM

could save this for when you reveal what's been going on with taylor's bullies as a way to 'keep yourself busy' if he pulls you outta school

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 04:58 PM

That...is a good point, plus he does have a education at least to highschool and above so he wouldn't be falling behind too much if he does online courses....I think they do those there.

Then again social interaction....

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 04:59 PM

That works.

The thought of getting a 'game changer' and having to change my whole plan does worry me, especially in the context of getting a job, but it seems like the safest idea.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 05:00 PM

It's going to become a reality sadly eventually, just gotta roll with it.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:01 PM

yeah. you'll have to become good at that sorta thing

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:02 PM

I'll ask him about jobs, then.

He does, in fact, 'know a guy who knows a guy'.

So I'm set for that.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:04 PM

excellent, things are going smoothly thus far

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:04 PM

Thankfully.

I might move the Skitter costume into the Warehouse for now.

It's a lot safer than the coal chute.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 05:05 PM

That would be the best place

Lucky_Plucky21 03-Apr-21 05:05 PM

Probably for the better

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Freebies?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Some stuff comes with free bonuses

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Ah, useful.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Yep and some can be...invasive

like implants in brain

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:10 PM

Generally they're an improvement of some stripe, but not always a welcome one

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 05:10 PM

Almost all perks are positive from some general point of view; however, they are not always welcome for a specific person.

CodeRR 03-Apr-21 05:10 PM

...There might be alternative forms too so that's a thing.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:10 PM

Imagine hulking out in the middle of lunch

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:11 PM

Ah.

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

Also the specific brain implant we mentioned isn't shatterbird proof

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:11 PM

I can see how those would be difficult if I got them in public.

Oh.

I'd need to improve on it as soon as I got it, then.

I don't mind the implant at all, but getting it in public would be rather irritating.

At least I know when the perks will be coming, so I can take advantage of that.

Malaki 03-Apr-21 05:13 PM

...how would u improve it while it's in ur head and very much entangled with ur grey matter

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:14 PM

Ah. I don't have Dragon to help me with this anymore, do I?

So it may be an issue, in that case.

Malaki 03-Apr-21 05:14 PM

Right

This is the particular implant i was refering to https://www.halopedia.org/File:H1-Neural_Implant-Skull.JPG

File:H1-Neural Implant-Skull.JPG

Mesh of the neural implant and the Oddball skull to scale in location from Halo CE 3D files.

So yeah...not an easy fix especially since it is fiat backed, thus it will return to inside ur skull 24~48 hours after removal

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:18 PM

Is this one of the good freebies, or one of the bad freebies?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:22 PM

it's good, because it provides an ethical source of souls to work with

Like not to seem strange but their are things you can do with souls...and if I remember the souls are blanked and not 'really' used...or something

Malaki 03-Apr-21 05:24 PM

I mean better than some freebies, like the one that forces u to constantly sexy pose

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:24 PM

basically souls in that universe are basically just a loseable body part that tends to be consumed when you die by the sun

like the appendix

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:25 PM

...You're kidding.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:25 PM

unfortunately no

Malaki 03-Apr-21 05:25 PM

Plus souls are kinda vague and change from setting to setting

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:25 PM

there's a lot of vanity perks out there

thankfully what defines a 'soul' is a variable thing from universe to universe

Malaki 03-Apr-21 05:25 PM

Like im pretty sure ur home universe's souls are just psychic engrams

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:26 PM

yet perks that affect the soul affect anything that qualifies

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:26 PM

Noted.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:26 PM

like how perks that effect magic will affect all types of magic, perks that boost psychic potential boost all of it, etc

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:26 PM

I'll ignore the rapid-onset existential crisis for now.

Is this some sort of portal?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 05:37 PM

...maybe? could also be a self-contained power-supported pocket dimension

though idfk how to test that other than flying up far enough

i wouldn't be shocked if goods appeared out of thin air for trading purposes and people got swapped out on the regular to keep it internally consistant

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 05:39 PM

I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Well, either way, I'd better get used to it.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 07:43 PM

you may be able to also get dream selves from sburb, which function as both another body and a way to subvert the need for sleep

it'd let you maintain a more convincing secret ID, if nothing else, lol

Ah.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 07:58 PM

yeah, that would be an issue

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 07:59 PM

Being a ward would get me a lot less freedom than being a Guild or Protectorate member, but both of those organisations have a strict 18+ policy.

Well, Dragon's an exception.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:00 PM

im also concerned about the fact you could spawn sapient creatures almost automatically, given piggot's an ellisburg survivor

she probably hasn't gotten much in the way of treatment for any trauma from the event

she'd likely be biased against you due to 'power parahuman is able to make biological creatures that could end all life on earth'

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:01 PM

or just stick it out as being indie for the moment

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:04 PM

Independent seems like the only option until I can get a second body.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:04 PM

why until then?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:05 PM

So I can forge some sort of identity for it and join that way.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:11 PM

oh my god, its garment gloves

are you familiar with the concept of an elemental?

she's basically a fashion elemental

she's almost conceptually good with anything involving cloth and such

limited ability to communicate outside of that

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:13 PM

Well then.

You mentioned getting living things out of this, but I wasn't expecting to get one so soon.

neither was i tbh, garment's a lot harder to get in v2 than v1, though considering the number has been a bit randomized im reevaluating things a lil tbh

So.

Garment, do you need anything to sustain yourself with? Do you eat or drink?

Garment BOT 03-Apr-21 08:16 PM

❓

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:17 PM

Pardon?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:18 PM

from the text: 'It must be provided with materials, though it may be provided a lump sum or budget with which to magically acquire materials at cost.' garment also likes working with dresses so, there's that (edited)

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:18 PM

Ah.

Does that work on credit cards? Because I still have Hookwolf's one.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:19 PM

i for one am all for tanking a nazi's finances to support garment's endeavors, nice

something else i noticed came with garment, in invisitext: Some Of My Best Friends Are Dodgeball Players (Dodgeball) (0CP) You may import eight Companions, granting them a past in this world. Since everyone in this world plays dodgeball, they have at least a moderate amount of skill in the activity more if they were already particularly physically or martially inclined. Your Companions share your Origin, in addition to any 600cp perks you purchased for yourself, with or without a discount

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:20 PM

So eight people are going to show up or something?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:21 PM

eight people with your origin and any 600 cp perks you get, assumedly

likely people you get along with/consider friends/etc normally

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:21 PM

600CP Dodgeball perks, or...?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:21 PM

it doesn't specify dodgeball perks

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:22 PM

That sounds very good, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:22 PM

keep in mind, these people are likely gonna be in the same situation as you - imported into someone local with their powers changed up, potentially

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:23 PM

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:25 PM

I found a case of six pendants in the Warehouse. Is this related to the companions thing?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:25 PM

likely so, i'd imagine. ...which implies two have already gone out

dragon and taylor, id assume

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:26 PM

That sounds likely.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:26 PM

so the question becomes finding them.

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:27 PM

this is probably something set up by the benefactor for extra drama or something

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:28 PM

Sigh.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:28 PM

so, lets think about this. you imported into taylor, who was a big part of your life

she was part of a critical juncture point in it

taylor might've ended up in the body of emma barnes, if we follow that logic

or tattletale

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:29 PM

I wouldn't envy her, if it's the latter.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:30 PM

true, not exactly the greatest position to be in, but for a while tattletale was her best friend. i think that persisted up until gold morning, as well

it'd follow the same general type of logic as you being dropped into taylor's body

dragon... either saint or armsmaster's bodies, more likely the latter

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:31 PM

I really don't know how to feel about either of those.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:31 PM

well, if the person who has their hands on dragon's killswitch is dragon, i'd feel relieved

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:32 PM

Agreed.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:32 PM

at the same time, that feels too convenient to happen

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 08:32 PM

but what if Saint inserts into Dragon

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:33 PM

it'd have to happen because colin wanted to bring saint with him

taylor didn't end up in armsmaster's body, he had the same patrol routes

so, saint ending up in dragon's body just flat out makes no sense given colin would almost certainly murder him if given the option

randomhuman44 03-Apr-21 08:34 PM

makes sense I guess

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:35 PM

Dammit. And I have no way of looking for anyone.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:36 PM

well, if anyone ended up in armsmaster, you can just keep an eye out for patrol routes

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:36 PM

The closest thing I can think of it making a post online about a 'book' called Gold Morning and all the details in it.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:37 PM

that works. you can say it's someone's documentary on scion

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:37 PM

Is it bad to hope that Dragon ends up in a body that's around Weaver's age, if that happens?

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:37 PM

nah, it's entirely reasonable

age differences with time travel are weird

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:38 PM

Agreed.

I hope she's not significantly younger than Weaver.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:39 PM

god. also hoping against that

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:39 PM

Or significantly older.

Well, worse comes to worse, we could get her a new body eventually.

I was considering looking for scrap electronics, I believe.

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:47 PM

at the part time job, yea?

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:48 PM

Garment BOT 03-Apr-21 08:48 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:49 PM

garment might be able to find some stuff to work with too, so your scavving power could work well with her fashion sense one

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:49 PM

Well, if she wants to help me, I'd be fine with that.

Garment, can you get into the warehouse on your own?

Garment BOT 03-Apr-21 08:50 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:50 PM

ah nice, she gets her own key

...which implies all other companions do as well

hm

Awake 03-Apr-21 08:51 PM

They probably don't know what to do with then yet, they're just random key

Limina Idling | Hours 03-Apr-21 08:51 PM

well, if you found yourself in a weird body with random keys, would you not try them on stuff and see where they work?

Awake 03-Apr-21 08:52 PM

Taylor BOT 03-Apr-21 08:52 PM
