Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:09 AM

"You worked with Coil, there's no way I can trust you."

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:09 AM

that's incorrect

also baffling, to some degree

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:09 AM

"You called yourself a hero, but we both know you're as bad as they come."

"Go away. I don't want to talk to you."

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:10 AM

She has the body read not who's in it

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:10 AM

you can say with complete honesty that you, personally, have never worked with coil and don't intend to short of an endbringer truce

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:11 AM

Mhm

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:11 AM

or maybe just mention which cape you are, though yall are in public

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:11 AM

"I've never worked with Coil, and I don't plan to."

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:11 AM

"You will. I saw it. I still see it."

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:11 AM

wh

???

ok, something's fucked up coil

either that or there's more than one taylor running around somehow

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:12 AM

"43%, give or take."

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:13 AM

"That much? Is Coil different this time or something?"

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:13 AM

it could be a possession situation but its a bit hard to read

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:13 AM

"He's not going to do help you get what you want any better than he did last time. Don't bother."

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:13 AM

She responded to the name Dinah, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:14 AM

...i think she has the wrong name to the face

asking 'will taylor hebert work with coil' may be different than 'will colin wallis work with coil' after all

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:14 AM

Most likely.

"Listen. I'm-"

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:15 AM

you can say you didnt work with him last time either

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:15 AM

"No! I don't want to hear it!"

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

See

Dinah is not listening

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

odds that you end up using bugs as your primary power in the future (edited)

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

"You've been a cape way longer than I have, but I'm a thinker."

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

And unless you want to force the kid

This is going nowhere

And there goes the thinker arrogance

Dinah BOT 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

"I could kill you if I wanted to."

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

common thinker problem, ask the wrong question, get the wrong answer

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:16 AM

She believes that adorable

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:17 AM

lets not make her murderous, either way

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:17 AM

Indeed. I recommend "correct face, wrong mind" if you have to

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:17 AM

"I'm not Wea-"

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:18 AM

Dinah lashes out with a foot, catching Taylor right in the middle of her chest.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:18 AM

god. dammit dinah

hope your barriers were alright

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

...wow assault much?

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

Before she can react, Dinah follows up with a jab to the throat, leaving Taylor coughing.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

what the fuck

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

And I told you

She is stubborn

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

ok, stasis her

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

Public

Can't

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

The thinker gives her one last glare, then turns to flee.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

shit

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:19 AM

And there she goes

Let her

She isn’t amicable to talk

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:20 AM

well, dinah's going off half cocked to hopefully not get caught by coil again

i have no fucking clue what she thinks but its probably either wrong or missing a lot of context

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:20 AM

*Cough, cough*

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:20 AM

Could be us missing context too

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:20 AM

"Fuck."

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:21 AM

no, i think we can all agree that taking down coil would probably be for the best

unless something already took him down

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:21 AM

And she said he was no different, or something along those lines.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:21 AM

so clearly her power fed her bad info somewhere along the way

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:22 AM

There's not really any other explanation.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:22 AM

well, that was fucking useless, and probably a lesson learned - maybe keep barriers prepared in case of people being dumb

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:22 AM

Also, even if she did believe I was Weaver, why was she that hostile?

It's not totally useless - we learned that there are other time travellers.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:23 AM

my only guess is it might be taylor in her body, for some reason, which also aged it up, for some reason

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:23 AM

... different time lines maybe?

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:24 AM

Again, she responded to the name Dinah.

Also, she was still able to use her power.

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:24 AM

She could be a different Dinah from Bet

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:24 AM

She called herself a thinker and said that I have more experience as a cape than her.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:25 AM

the latter doesn't mean too much - taylor was active on the scene long before her and got a lot of shit done

taylor by definition would likely have more experience regardless

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:26 AM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:26 AM

thats why i kept saying clarify

because clearly a bad question fell in there somewhere

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:27 AM

Trust me, I was trying.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:27 AM

i know

just frustrated that dinah was acting that obtuse

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:27 AM

Same here.

She wasn't even letting me get a word in.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:27 AM

if this is some kind of multi timeline plot im gonna be pissed

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:28 AM

If she had just let me talk...

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:28 AM

thinker. she thinks she knows better

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:28 AM

*Sigh*

I know the type.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:28 AM

even if she's one of the strongest ones out there, that's still one of the fatal flaws

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:28 AM

It's pretty common for thinkers.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:29 AM

yeah, unfortunately

guess it comes from the whole 'my superpower is that im supposed to be smarter than you' thing

seems like an easy thing to get an inferiority complex over

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:29 AM

Exactly.

*Sigh*

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:30 AM

or superiority, in dinah's case

smh

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:30 AM

Whatever we can't do anything about it currently

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:30 AM

she's also almost certainly wrong about the whole coil thing

you're gonna be throwing off precogs with every power you get

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:31 AM

If she wasn't so frustrating to talk to, I'd be chomping at the bit to go after her and just make her understand.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:31 AM

eh, she'll probably try to stab you if you do

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:31 AM

That too.

*Sigh.*

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:32 AM

careful about the temper tho, seems biological quirks are cropping up

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:32 AM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:32 AM

or might be, at any rate

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:32 AM

Dammit. I want my real body back.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:33 AM

eventually, you can probably transfer into a proper body and program an ai to emulate taylor, maybe (edited)

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:33 AM

Ummmm

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:34 AM

ethically a bit wonky i know but honestly it's that or give danny a reason to die

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:34 AM

No it was more me looking at a few perks that effect biology

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:34 AM

There's not really a good outcome here, is there.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:34 AM

it's a sliding scale

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:39 AM

Continue run or head home?

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:39 AM

sigh

might as well mention that perk i was interested in, to help bring the mood up. this ought to fuck over an endbringer's durability, if you can get it Omega’s Eye (800 CP) (Loop Hero): Wherever Omega’s sight turned, he witnessed a world of swarming, of bloat, of the improper. And wherever his sight fell, there was...less. It is less a weapon of atoms and matter, and more a weapon of concept. Simply by falling within your sight, some essential quality can be stripped away. The vampire can never again restore its vitality from others. The hammer can no longer harm, though its structure is the same as before. Clouds no longer rain. Done repeatedly, meaning is unmade slice by slice. Power allows resisting the loss, for a time--but who can truly stand against the might of the divine?

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:40 AM

Ye that’s a way

GUI BOT 16-Jun-21 01:40 AM

[Forge rolls: 5. Sunbro's nebula.] [Forge rolls: 5. Slime Rancher constellation.] [Forge rolls: 13. I Am the Manager (400CP).] [Perk has been purchased.] [You have 50CP.]

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:40 AM

its also my favorite perk from the jump it's from

(collab)

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:40 AM

(Thanks)

Also nice

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:42 AM

now the rogue route is looking more viable

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:42 AM

So working the plort market on the small end, while still capable of turning a profit, is nothing compared to running a full fledged business. Now you have the skill and knowledge required to start, build up, and run a business. This is useful for both creating plort based businesses or a different kind. More than that the skill you have is such that creating a business like this and turning it from a mom and pop operation to a megacorp (or any point in between) takes less time and effort than it would otherise

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:42 AM

*Clunk*. Tayor turns her head to the noise to see that a strange looking vacuum backpack had appeared in a nearby alley.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:42 AM

Also that

Don’t worry about it

It just works in slimes

Animals

And fruit-vegetable

And water

Also search your pockets

You also get an slimepedia

Pika 16-Jun-21 01:43 AM

(Okay, it looks nothing like what I though)

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:43 AM

the tech from that thing ought to be handy

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:43 AM

(Ye is bulky)

Pika 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(Why the fuck is it called a vacpack if it looks nothing like a vacuum or a backpack)

(I mean, I know it sucks stuff up)

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(Because it sucks and keep it)

Pika 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(But like)

(That's a gun)

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(Ye)

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(*shrug*)

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:44 AM

(But again named after the function)

(Like most things in the slime rancher) (edited)

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:46 AM

"..."

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:47 AM

Taylor sighs and starts rearranging her backpack, packing as much stuff into her pockets and the bag's outer pouches as she can.

The vacpack barely fits in.

Barely.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:48 AM

ok, so we definitely need to get back home now

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:48 AM

Already on it.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:49 AM

Yep

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

After a tense walk home, Taylor pulls out her keys and flits through the front door.

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

And now I need somewhere to hide this.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

basement

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

Also you may get a ranch

Like a basic plot of land

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

not all freebies are added lucky

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

Some corrals

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

Basement, then.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

Oh good

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:50 AM

you need to check the list to see

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:51 AM

There's an old coal chute down here. It's not still in use, is it?

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:51 AM

taylor used it to hide her costume

so. mostly in use by spiders

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:52 AM

Ah.

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:52 AM

Silently, Taylor peels off the wooden panel that was covering the chute.

A thorough application of bug spray deals with the black widows that had crawled out.

And inside...

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:54 AM

Please tell me I isn’t a ranch

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:54 AM

its a ranch

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:54 AM

I told you

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:54 AM

It was her costume. She remembered it, all the way back to the first meeting between Armsmaster and Skitter.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:55 AM

Oh good

Is just that

SFX and/or Camera BOT 16-Jun-21 01:55 AM

She picked up the mask. Two orange lenses, one of them slightly scuffed where it had likely rubbed against concrete.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:56 AM

probably best for your own morale if you dont use that costume

CodeRR 16-Jun-21 01:57 AM

I thought he already said he wasn't going to. He might be remembering is all

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

Ye

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

"Just remembering."

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

Neat

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

"..."

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

Also I would repurpose that costume

Is still useful

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:58 AM

"Using it when the ABB are looking for Skitter would be a bad idea, to boot."

Not a bad idea.

Lucky_Plucky21 ↩️

Reply to: Also I would repurpose that costume

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

may be useful, but there's sentiment tied up with not using it alongside practical reasons

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

Ye

Use it to pad an armor

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

The material is still perfectly good.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

could be used for a private memorial or something

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

Like a full body gambon

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 01:59 AM

and it isn't like you're quite ready to gear up and take on the world yet either, you've mostly got business acumen and gravity abilities

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:00 AM

Mhm

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:00 AM

I could still wear it under other clothes - I the suits Weaver makes are bulletproof.

Made *

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:00 AM

Gambeson is what I’m thinking

And yes that was what I was saying

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:00 AM

this is her early work, though - far less bulletproof and more bullet-resistant

fucked her up badly when she got shot

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:00 AM

Ye

He still has the spider control?

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

no

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

I don't.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

Shame

Still bullet resistant is better than nothing

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

its also pretty hard to work without the tools for it

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

Either way, it's too useful at the moment to consider not using.

The Sun God | Hours ↩️

Reply to: this is her early work, though - far less bulletproof and more bullet-resistant

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:01 AM

i mean

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:02 AM

I doubt I'm in a position to work with the fabric, so I'd just have to use it as an undersuit.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:02 AM

Yep

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:02 AM

that's an option, though id like to remind you that caping still isnt much of an option until youve got either a powerset you're comfortable with or enough powers to just muscle through

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:03 AM

Also that

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:03 AM

As much as it pains me, I have to agree there.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:04 AM

Also good news

Remember the vackpack?

There is a little trick that you can use to infinite jump

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:04 AM

That's right, I was here to hide it from Mr Hebert.

...Come again?

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:05 AM

Take something like wood or jelly like the slimes

Shoot it out downwards and you have briefly a plataform (edited)

Don’t know if it’s a feature or a bug

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:06 AM

that sounds like a bug

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:06 AM

Didn’t fix it in the final version

And was know before hand

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:06 AM

That sounds totally contrary to the laws of physics, and not in a superpowered way.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:06 AM

i mean. could just be a hard bug. this thing is gonna be adhering to quote unquote '''''''''''real world physics'''''''''''

Taylor

That sounds totally contrary to the laws of physics, and not in a superpowered way.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:06 AM

They have slimes that fuck with time

Physics for them is as much concern as for Edilon (edited)

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:07 AM

That's the 'superpowered way'.

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:07 AM

and the quantum slimes arent the vacpack

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:07 AM

What you're describing is an unintended glitch.

Should I bother trying it?

Limina Idling | Hours 16-Jun-21 02:07 AM

you'll probably break something important if you try

like a wall

or your legs

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:08 AM

Neat way, also if it works good in a pinch when it’s jet pack function is drained

Taylor BOT 16-Jun-21 02:08 AM

Good point. Injuries and repairs are a lot harder to deal with right now.

Maybe if I have some spare time while I'm using it, I can try that out.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Jun-21 02:09 AM

Mhm
