actually, does it? you checked and all?

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:15 PM

What if they try to google themselves? Or, hell, any major capes?

Yeah, it does.

I googled 'Anne Barnes' earlier, and got Emma's wiki page.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:15 PM

ah, shit

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:16 PM

Well, you can wait for a day before you tell them

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:16 PM

Yeah.

Maybe I'll have something more substantial then, like the arclance.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:16 PM

Maybe work on setting up the solar cells

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:16 PM

Got it.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:17 PM

actually, supercharging one solar cell in specific might work?

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:17 PM

If I hook them all up together, they might charge as one.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:17 PM

ooh, good idea

think of it less like a bunch of little cells and more a single networked one

worst case scenario, add glue

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:17 PM

I thot that was the plan from square 1

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:18 PM

it wasnt, but it is now

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:18 PM

Superglue, not the waterbased stuff

Well, breakfast is over, time to go outside for the lamps.

Uh

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:18 PM

electrical solder if you happen to have the tools for it probably not, but it's the best if it's available

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:21 PM

I will.

I grabbed some apples as well as the lights.

I guess the one worry now is about keeping a balanced diet.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:22 PM

panacea can prolly manage that

Ur gunna need some way to cool down the house the 24/7 sunlight is gunna bring up the heat

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:22 PM

if this is her, shes likely trying to figure out how to grow other types of food

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:23 PM

if this is ROB instead of Panacea, it also shows that they aren't averse to meddling with the state of things after the experiment has already started

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:23 PM

if

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:23 PM

yeah it's an if

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:23 PM

Oh, apparently that was an existing apple tree, it just hadn't been growing any apples for the past several years.

But it's a lot bigger and bushier now.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:23 PM

oh, interesting

maybe the lights make things flourish

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:24 PM

...maybe you can get a soil test done by BB university

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:24 PM

a point towards dome maker

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:24 PM

And the grass is longer and greener. Alan's planning to mow the lawn, even though he just did it a few days ago.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:24 PM

Use the clippings as compost we not sure how long the dome will be up

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

I'll ask Alan if we can keep the clippings, yeah.

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

Can you put charges in the apple tree

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

I can.

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

Good to know

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

Oh yeah, do that 2morrow

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:25 PM

i mean, id assume power is more pressing

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

...Zoe just hugged me, and I felt the option to charge her.

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

So it's not a limit against living things, just you in specific

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

Seems like it.

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

Man maybe you shouldnt tell people that part

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

i mean, the charge is stored in CPP

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

I don't intend to let anyone know that bit, dw.

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:26 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:28 PM

i just considered something fucked up

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:28 PM

The Protectorate will also pressgang you lol They'll just do it with morals and ethics and making sure it seems like you have no other options

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:28 PM

I'll keep it secret for now, at least. Oh?

what if you actually do have brain damage and its limiting your powers somehow it seems like itd be pretty powerful, like how some triggers are all but broken a la sleeper, ash beast, fairy queen, etc, but the low baseline might be indicative of a damaged corona (edited)

i dont know what your brain actually looks like, so i can only theorize

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 04:49 PM

Wind is a mark against that, but...

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:49 PM

the place is a deathtrap, i wouldnt be shocked

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 04:49 PM

Wind is probably generated by the dome too You think ROB won't have accounted for that?

In any case you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide building up in the dome

It has a short half life in atmosphere

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:50 PM

i think we're dealing with a Random Omnipotent Bastard here, so its possible they accounted for it and let it happen anyways to draw out suffering

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 04:50 PM

oh, thats a good point against that random

Malaki 17-Feb-21 04:51 PM

If wind is still happening the gases arent trapped, and even if that were tru ur main problem would be running out of O2 because no way the bay has enough moss/algea/plants to compensate for as many people/animals are in the bay

...well...eh watever u got the electrical stuff done? Also hope yall got spare car batteries

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:02 PM

Yeah, we got the solar panels and turbine set up.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:02 PM

Aight

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:02 PM

And yeah, we had a couple of spare car batteries.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:02 PM

Good

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 05:02 PM

Oh yeah You haven't seen it much yet, but I tend to jinx stuff a lot It only came true the once, so don't worry

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:03 PM

At least u have both ur legs

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:03 PM

Well, I'll watch out for monsters appearing, then.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:03 PM

Poor poor tommy

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:03 PM

i feel like both of you deliberately try to jinx stuff

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:04 PM

Even if I lost a leg, I have allies and a support structure. If I'd ended up in, say, ancient Rome instead of Worm and then lost a leg there, I'd be kinda boned.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:04 PM

Naw Tommy had real shitty luck, def wont have to deal with vamps in this eternal day tho

i feel like both of you deliberately try to jinx stuff

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 05:04 PM

only at 3AM

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:04 PM

we arent even close to that

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Yes This was just me contemplating possibilities The cannibalism suggestion on eyelit clearing was on purpose though

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Another worry: What if someone at the Protectorate hacked my phone or laptop or I was forced to show them the internet from them?

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:05 PM

then they have to deal with cauldron

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:05 PM

I'm not sure I want them seeing any Worm stuff.

Point.

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Anyways, wat kinda voltage ur getting? Prolly cant run the AC but the fridge should be fine

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:06 PM

And then I have to deal with Cauldron.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:06 PM

...shit, actually why havent cauldron tried to deal with you yet

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:06 PM

Good idea, I'll hook up the fridge.

...It feels like it would be just my luck to get jumped by Cauldron so soon.

Actually, could I try to call them?

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:06 PM

you could

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 05:07 PM

Maybe Cauldron can't get in Assuming this is a ROB made barrier, letting shard power work while also blocking actual travel via Doormaker should probably be possible

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:07 PM

Deal with the devil, but getting them that information could help in the long run.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:07 PM

the fact they havent jumped on this implies something horrible has happened

also, the dome explicitly lets interdimensional effects [like doormaker] in

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:07 PM

Well, if they don't answer, I'll know that for sure.

Or rather, I'll know that something's up, but not what.

So, do I call?

Malaki 17-Feb-21 05:08 PM

...lets not risk that

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:08 PM

well, its not like you arent in a deathtrap if you dont

there's not much further down you can go from this point

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:08 PM

Both good point.

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:08 PM

and they can deal with echidna early if this works out

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:09 PM

So, at the moment, it's between calling Cauldron, joining the Wards, staying solo and low-key, and, what, asking if New Wave needs help?

not Wards but yes essentially

You got a multimeter?

Limina Idling | Hours 17-Feb-21 05:16 PM

2-0 for cauldron you should go get one before you electrocute yourself

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 17-Feb-21 05:16 PM

I guess I'm calling Cauldron, then.

either that or this somehow blocks powers while not blocking them

randomhuman44 17-Feb-21 05:21 PM

If it's a ROB that is near omnipotent, I'm going to have to say that they are in fact powerful enough to distinguish between a parahuman's connection to their shard, and actual interference from other dimensions

So what QA was planning for her originally planned host, aka Danny

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:52 AM

honestly wouldnt be out of question for taylor to have yet another trigger, if qa decides 'fuck the cycle i can third trigger this is too interesting' (edited)

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:52 AM

Need more data to bud then canabalize said bud to second trigger

thats... not how it works

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:53 AM

Really?

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:53 AM

taylor second triggered basically instantly

its called a 1.5 trigger

Ah

Wait danny was supposed to be the original qa host?

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:53 AM

they can do it whenever they want, its just a cycle limitation

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:54 AM

Oh i thought her trigger was kinda broken, like as in her power was still stabilizing in the hospital

Awake 19-Feb-21 11:54 AM

Yeah isnt a second trigger just shifting what control over the power the host has, fine-tuning it?

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:54 AM

no, its common enough that 1.5 triggers are an Actual Thing

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:54 AM

Huh, but her actual second trigger was something else

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:55 AM

if youre talking about khepri, that was as close to a second trigger as chitter the echidna clone was

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:56 AM

Huh...welp it's a solid maybe on if she got another trigger or not, depends on if any other fresh triggers did or not i guess

Like Browbeat

Pretty sure he's actually the freshest trigger by the start of canon

Awake 19-Feb-21 11:57 AM

Didnt she second trigger after Bakuda fight?

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:57 AM

Double Trigger According to Number Man, Taylor has had a Double Trigger, where a person triggers twice back-to-back; the sheer trauma of her first trigger causing a second one. As such, she is unable to have a Second Trigger to become more powerful, since she already had one.[73] Had she not undergone this double trigger, her bug control would have been much cruder and less skilled, being more akin to how Chicken Little controls birds. Meaning that she'd likely have difficulty with precisely operating her insects, instead controlling them more like a 'wave' that she 'pushes' and 'pulls' using a sort of invisible 'rally points', and perhaps cannot simultaneously control an insect and co-opt their senses.[74]

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

...so how did she controll people?

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

panacea fucked up her shard connection

Awake 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

Yeah

Malaki 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

Oh thats worse

Awake 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

Panacea pretty much set her shard connection to what the shard does

Limina Idling | Hours 19-Feb-21 11:58 AM

Following the raid on Cauldron west African base, Taylor was given more information on how second triggers worked and how powers changed and evolved. [1] This leads Taylor to consider the idea of removing restrictions that help regulate powers in her brain, in the hopes of gaining an advantage in the fight against Zion. She asks Bonesaw for help,[2] but Panacea decides to help instead, arguing she can do a cleaner job herself. [3] As a result of the procedure Taylor's range of her power drops to 16 feet,[4] but she gains ability to control the parahumans within that range. She loses the ability to vocally communicate,[5] and as time goes on more and more of her personality becomes subsumed by her shard.

Awake 19-Feb-21 11:59 AM

Yeah

The shard started pretty much taking over and she became less herself as time went on

Malaki 19-Feb-21 12:01 PM

Also, if you go to the local park and dig up worms... those arent native and are currently harmful to the local ecosystem, so go ahead and kill'em

Malaki 19-Feb-21 12:02 PM

Those are the European variants brought over in the use of fishing

Northern USA doesnt have native earthworms, and no natural predators for them

Harmful to the forest floor since they eat up leaf litter used to protect saplings/seedlings from the harsh cold, and ups the surface nutrients which isnt too good for the older trees

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 02:31 PM

I was planning on spending some charges on the arclance, speaking of. If I need to demonstrate the charges, using it on the arclance would be suitably drastic, I think. Also, if it does get actual arclance powers, that would be very good to know.

Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury.

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:14 PM

"Fuck. It's my part-time job."

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:14 PM

oh lol

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:14 PM

How is her phone working!

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:14 PM

"Your phone is still working?"

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:14 PM

Rig still has power remember

She can charge there

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

It getting the signal

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

Though it's in character to ask that

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

Not it having the charge

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

oh idk

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

It having signal is weird for a civie

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

"Yeah. There's a hand-crank charger where I work, and one of the people there was able to get some basic cell network stuff back up, though it's kinda shit right now."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:15 PM

She works with the government

Tell her good luck at the mayors office

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:16 PM

maybe custom tower or smth wouldn't be hard, even for a civilian who knows what they're doing, let alone tinker But it's definitely in character to find that sus as hell either way

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:16 PM

"I get to use it since I work there. Employee perks."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:17 PM

Cell networks arent super easy to set up and u'd have to know how to set one up

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:17 PM

"I'm surprised they're letting a part-time worker on it instead of giving it to city hall or something."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:17 PM

Landlines not hard, cell? Difficult

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:17 PM

"Cell networks aren't that easy to set up."

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:18 PM

"Perks of having selfish nerds in the staff, what can I say?"

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:18 PM

So what Medhall?

Maybe a construction place? Kinda wanna know if they set that up for their part timers

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:19 PM

"So, what, that medicine company? Medhall?"

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:19 PM

Ye

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:20 PM

"Fuck no, like Medhall's not half Empire sympathisers. It's a branch of a tech company downtown."

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:21 PM

Great

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:21 PM

Smooth hess smooth

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:21 PM

She hasn’t the best mouth for lies

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:21 PM

Great reception for having it being located downtown

They using pre existing towers?

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:25 PM

I mean, this house is located in the downtown area.

I think she was talking about the place relative to city centre, not the place relative to us.

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:26 PM

"Anyway, I really have to go, or else my boss will be on my ass about it. Later."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:26 PM

Welp, perfect excuse to rush her out of the house

Stay safe!

Thats wat u gotta say

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:26 PM

"Seeya, Sophia. Nice to meet you, and stay safe!"

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:26 PM

"You too."

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:26 PM

"Bye, Soph! Good luck!"

Sophia BOT 19-Feb-21 03:27 PM

"Bye!"

SFX BOT 19-Feb-21 03:27 PM

*Door slamming*

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:27 PM

And off she goes.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:28 PM

Welp, time to call a family meeting. Now that SS has confirmed left the building (edited)

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:28 PM

Powers or Heberts?

Not sure we need a family meeting for the latter.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:28 PM

Powers I guess (edited)

Unregistered BOT 19-Feb-21 03:28 PM

"Squeak!"

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:29 PM

What was that

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:29 PM

Idk

Unregistered BOT 19-Feb-21 03:29 PM

"Squeak?" "Squeak squeak!"

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:29 PM

Oh a little mouse

Want to be Cinderella

Or the cat

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:29 PM

Mouse? Fuck

Not good

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:30 PM

"Sorry, but do you mind leaving me alone for a bit? There's just been something I'm fretting about, and you already have enough on your plate, and..."

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:30 PM

How do I respond to that?

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

There is a mouse in here

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

with a yes

the mouse is kinda weird though (edited)

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

"I think I just heard a mouse in here."

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

She froze up.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

Kill it, mice are vermin

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

...is she afraid of mice?

why?

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:31 PM

Or is it powers?

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:32 PM

"Are you scared of mice? I can help you catch it, if you like. We really don't need mice in the house right now."

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:32 PM

"No! Um, it's fine!"

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:32 PM

Ok gunna tell dad we have a mouse problem

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:34 PM

"Right. I'll go to tell our parents about mouse problem. Maybe they can keep an eye out, or set some mouse traps."

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:34 PM

"Wait!"

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:34 PM

Hum. She's certainly acting strange.

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:34 PM

What is happening Emma

You can talk with me

I’m your sister

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:34 PM

Hmmm? Mice rn is bad for the house as disease carriers rn and food thieves

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:35 PM

"Is something wrong? I'm your sister, you can tell me. It would just worry me more to know that you're stressing about mice, or whatever this is."

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:35 PM

"..."

"If you're sure..."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:36 PM

No we arent which is the problem

Rather just kill the mice honestly

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:37 PM

"Here."

Unregistered BOT 19-Feb-21 03:37 PM

Small shadowy creature: "Squeak?"

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:37 PM

Wtf?

Shadow mice?

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:38 PM

It looks like a little dark blob-person with glowing yellow eyes.

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:38 PM

Emma triggered off of Taylor and SS is my guess

or it could be a fucking heartless or something idk

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:38 PM

Is this a real mouse?

Oh christ hope it's not a heartless

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:39 PM

I think is grue or stalker and Taylor (edited)

Depending if she creates them or make them shadows

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:40 PM

Lucky_Plucky21

I think is grue or stalker and Taylor (edited)

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:40 PM

I don't think Grue gives a shit about Emma though, so it wouldn't be a second-gen power Maybe if she triggered in the vicinity

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:40 PM

It also has a little white rock in its chest.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:41 PM

Wat...tinker tech?

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:41 PM

Like a chip of marble or something.

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:41 PM

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:42 PM

"Is it yours?"

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:42 PM

"Yeah. I can make them."

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:42 PM

Materials or shadows?

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:42 PM

Wat is it made of?

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:43 PM

What can she do with them though

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:43 PM

"I'm able to turn bits of minerals into little white cores, and they form shadowy bodies around the core. This one is from a little diamond I pulled out of a necklace."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:44 PM

...whose Necklace?

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:44 PM

"I don't have big enough stones or gems to make any bigger than this, and my... my power doesn't work on regular rocks."

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:45 PM

Given that she's wearing a necklace with a conspicuous gap in the centre...

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:45 PM

lol

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:45 PM

Welp, dont go stealing jewelry

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:46 PM

I'm kinda surprised though Did she trigger back at the alleyway ABB attack in this timeline or is this more recent?

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:46 PM

"Well, as long as you don't go stealing jewellery or something, I'll be here for you."

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:46 PM

"Haha, thanks."

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:46 PM

"When did you get your powers?"

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:47 PM

"...Recently."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:47 PM

Anyways time to report this to the family

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:47 PM

What kind of horrible thing is worse than the ABB attack lol

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:47 PM

Do I really want to rat her out, though?

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:47 PM

Yup

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:48 PM

I know she's not exactly a good person, but...

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:48 PM

She deserves a little discomfort

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:48 PM

Fuck. I guess this is sisterly instinct or whatever.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:48 PM

Fuck that noise

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:49 PM

Actually, she was going to learn this anyway, so...

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:49 PM

"Watch this."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:49 PM

Naw, bring the whole family less

Work

Oh come on

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:50 PM

Ye

Time to be wards

Because you aren’t letting your baby sister going vigilante but herself and with no back up

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:50 PM

I'm going to be living with her for the forseeable future. As much of a bitch as she is, I don't want to set her against me, especially since she and her best friend both have powers.

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:50 PM

Protectorate

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:50 PM

Yep

But you don’t know Sophia has them (edited)

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:51 PM

If I'm fucking with her, I don't want her tracing it back to me.

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:51 PM

You aren’t

You are a concerned big sister

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:51 PM

Eh, just do it in front of the fam still less work

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:51 PM

Well, uh, I just turned a playing card into a model arclance in front of her, so uh...

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:52 PM

Yeah

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:52 PM

Great now ur gunna have to do this twice

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:52 PM

Yup, time to tell dad

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:53 PM

Yep

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:53 PM

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:53 PM

"Oh, like Dauntless."

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:54 PM

Except more childrens card games

Anne BOT 19-Feb-21 03:54 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:54 PM

Also who is dauntless

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:56 PM

"are you a bodyjacker?"

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:56 PM

“Are you seeing anyone?”

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

"I'm gay"

Emma BOT 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

"I know you don't remember much, but have you heard a book series called Worm? It's super niche, and I know it's a longshot, but..."

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

what

okay then

but how

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

Fucking...Pika?

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:57 PM

Say no

No with all your soul

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:58 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 19-Feb-21 03:58 PM

Yep

She is one

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:58 PM

though some got stolen away

so maybe like 30-40 inserts maybe

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:58 PM

As many as 47, but probably less. I scrolled up to look at the system messages.

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

yeah

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

So, do I admit it, or not?

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

anyway the thing is

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

No

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

Why not?

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

at the most, insert fused with Emma

Malaki 19-Feb-21 03:59 PM

Worm never existed in the worm universe

randomhuman44 19-Feb-21 04:00 PM

cause she's still willing to be a complete asshole about her former friend, so she still a bitch, insert didn't change that

Malaki 19-Feb-21 04:01 PM

Righto

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 04:01 PM

I looked back at the conversation. All Emma said is that they had a falling out. It was Sophia who made all of the accusations.

Hmm. This changes my mind to 'vaguely in favor of yes'

ChillyPepperPopper BOT 19-Feb-21 04:03 PM

I could always ask her more questions now that Hess is gone.

Still on the opposite end of thr vague feeling spectrum
