Setting is Worm. Powers are original. Despite the title, this isn't a Homestuck thing, the name is just inspired by Homestuck.

"What did I make this time..."
Kid WinBOT21-Mar-21 07:27 PM
"What's up?"
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:28 PM
i think you accidentally did interdimensional tech, buddy
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:28 PM
"I thought it would be a good idea to let my power just build something random. Thing is, I have no idea what it does."
Uh
"Uh"
Oh, so that's why there's a microphone on it.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:28 PM
kid win's specialty is modularity, btw, in case yall havent cracked that
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:29 PM
Oh, he already knows, don't worry.
Lord told him a while ago, back when she was thinking of joining the wards.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:29 PM
cool
so, i know who neither you nor lord are
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:30 PM
I'm Muse, one of the Wards-ENE.
Also known as Ian, because apparently this thing notes that as my name.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:30 PM
i assume thats cause you built it or something
tinkertech is weird, whether or not it actually falls under the umbrella as tinkertech
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:30 PM
Probably.
Lord's the leader of an independent hero team.
So, how do you know about Kid's specialty?
Speciality*
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:32 PM
time travel
c'mon, read the name lol
in all seriousness im from both another time and another world
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:33 PM
I'm pretty sure that's just a coincidence. Neither me nor Lord have Homestuck powers, though I kinda wish I did.
Oh, you too?
Don't s'pose you've read a story called Worm?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:34 PM
yeah, just wanted to keep up a polite pretense in case this wasn't a situation of 'people got isekai'd'
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:34 PM
Fair.
I haven't told anybody anything about Worm at all yet, haha.
I just feel like I'd mess things up.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:34 PM
valid, so many butterflies and everything
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:35 PM
Exactly.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:35 PM
so, out of curiosity, what exactly are your powers? you an inspired inventor or something?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:35 PM
I wish.
I'm a Tinker/Trump specialising in support equipment.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:36 PM
celestial forge?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:36 PM
Again, I wish.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:36 PM
just a growing powerset or somesuch, then, i assume?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:36 PM
Not beyond anything a normal tinker can do. Actually, maybe not even that.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:36 PM
oof
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:37 PM
I know how to make support equipment for any capes that are near me.
For example, Clock sat next to me in the Wards lab for an hour or two, and I was able to make him portal-gloves to extend his range.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:38 PM
well, clearly that aint all, given you made a connection to this chatroom
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:38 PM
The main problem is that I need to be next to people to make actually specialised equipment for the entire time I build it.
Oh yeah, I can make general support equipment too.
I'm working on an anti-master helmet at the moment.
I can make support equipment that would be useful to any heroes, not just to ones with specific powers.
I think I count as a Free x Free or Free x Combat tinker?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:39 PM
well, something is fucking with your shard, i know that for a fact
otherwise i dont think you'd be able to connect back to an earth that has a connection to worm
...english fails me sometimes lol
*worm the story
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:40 PM
Unless Wildbow is just a precog or something.
Your world could just be another Earth in Earth Bet's multiverse, and Worm is just a recount of the future.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:41 PM
its 2021 here, and given how entities operate, if that were the case we'd probably have noticed something like brain tumors causing superpowers
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:42 PM
I mean, not every Earth is going to have shards connecting to the people there.
Anyway.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:42 PM
that kinda invalidates the wildbow argument ya made
but yea, anyways
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:42 PM
Or maybe parahuman powers are just very, very rare there.
Anyway.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:44 PM
so you've connected to a discord that has a connection to more than a few variants of earth bet, as well as several other worlds
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:45 PM
Oh, you're connected to other versions of Earth Bet?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:46 PM
one of them someone got straight up minecraft powers from robs, another few got jumpchain powers, we've got two with fusionfall powers where one has earth bet kind of half-unexisted, one of them is in a weird dome and has anne barnes be the child of dauntless, its fucking wild.
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:46 PM
That's nuts.
I guess there is something weird going on, then.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:47 PM
so you see why i jumped to 'your shard is being fucked with' yea lol
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:47 PM
Mm.
Kid WinBOT21-Mar-21 07:47 PM
"Hey, Muse, isn't it your patrol next?"
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:47 PM
"..."
"Fuckfuckfuck gottago"
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:48 PM
question: do you have anime thinking time while using this thing?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:48 PM
Ooookay, there's a psychic connection thing going on with it?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:48 PM
yeah, thats about typical
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:48 PM
And slowed time too.
Man. I made something weird.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:49 PM
anime thinking time for the win. its a common thread between people who get put in here
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:49 PM
It's really not that often I make something that's useful to me.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:49 PM
true
...hey, random thought, but wasn't armsmaster working on psychic shielding for tattletale?
anyways. another oddball to ask about: what's up with lord?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:51 PM
Oh yeah, I'm working on some anti-master stuff using the same principals.
Lord's Lord. Dunno what to say.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:51 PM
powers, personality, that sorta stuff
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:51 PM
?
Don't you know about her?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:51 PM
lord isn't in our version of worm
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:51 PM
Really? Crazy.
Multiple versions of Worm. That's something.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:52 PM
i mean we have lord of loss in ward, but. thats ward
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:52 PM
What's Ward?

Oh shoot, it did. Weird.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:54 PM
i think there's active interference stopping you from getting access
City of Angles follows the adventures and misadventures of people stranded in a twisted alternate version of America. It's a City Noir carved out of a …
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:55 PM
Yeah, that works.
Somehow.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:55 PM
explicit interference preventing ward info from being shared
so, scion goes down, broken triggers start happening with the shardnet fucking up
which causes parahumans to start turning into baby endbringers basically(edited)
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:57 PM
:|
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:57 PM
yeah, thats a fair reaction
march, someone from flechette's cluster, fucks up everything
i think she briefly debuted in worm proper, but it was in the timeskip, which i basically glanced over
IanBOT21-Mar-21 07:58 PM
Huh. Never knew Flechette was part of a cluster. Anyway.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 07:59 PM
accuracy, timing, and sting, yea
anyways, she gets jack slash with contessa's power levels of bad, and given your power doesnt want you to know, its probably good to get all this out in the air
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:01 PM
Aegis and I are doing a patrol along the Boardwalk. Nice and easy.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:02 PM
nice
id say yall should stop for ice cream, but theres probably like some kind of ban on that - only Protectorate Friendly Brands or something
marketing and all
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:06 PM
Oh, we can stop for ice cream, easy.
"Wanna stop for some ice cream?"
AegisBOT21-Mar-21 08:06 PM
"It's a nice enough day for it. Why not?"
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:07 PM
nice
its a niceness x2 combo
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:07 PM
Yup.
Th̢e ͞wa̡ter͘ l̵o͟o҉ḱs̷ ̨still ̴today.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
again, you're being fucked with
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
And there's basically no clouds.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
something's wrong with the water
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
Huh?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
zalgo text
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:08 PM
That's... weird.
The water looks perfectly fine.
See? No zalgo.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
maybe it was something about it being still
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
Maybe.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
which makes me paranoid about leviathan
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
It's just stíl҉l͠ ͞w͏a̢te̸r.̷ ̡N͡òt̛hin̴g̡ weird͞ about i̶t̵.̧
I think I'd be able to tell if Leviathan was here.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
again, zalgo
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:09 PM
Ah heck.
Maybe it's just a glitch?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:10 PM
we don't know the exact range of leviathan, but ziz was able to do planet-wide scans i think
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:10 PM
:|
Fun.
At least, if an Endbringer attacks, I'll have ice cream.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:10 PM
well, that's one positive
AegisBOT21-Mar-21 08:10 PM
"Oh, Vista! It's been a while."
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
heres hoping it isnt something more mundane and fucked up, like the water being drugged or something
VistaBOT21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
"Hey, Aegis."
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
why's prt hq have so many wards on the same patrol route?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
Drugged water is better than the alternative, I guess.
Huh? Oh, Vista's not a Ward anymore.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
what year is it for you?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:11 PM
April 2011.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:12 PM
...is there a ward by the name of armsmaster in there, or something
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:12 PM
Pfft, no.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:12 PM
then did vista leave for lords team or something?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:13 PM
Yep.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:13 PM
ah
who all is on lord's team?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:13 PM
I guess she just thought the Wards were too much of a sausage party.
Lord's the leader, then there's Vista of course.
There's also Tattletale, Purity, Uber, and Leet.
Panacea also hangs out with Lord often enough to make me think that there's something going on there.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:14 PM
thats a lotta villains from our version of worm
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:14 PM
Oh, they're all ex-villains, don't worry.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:15 PM
i still dont know lord's powerset so my brain's ringing the m/s alarm bells
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:15 PM
She's a power-copier.
So no, probably not a master of that kind.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:16 PM
ah. unless it's some teacher bullshit, thats a relief
either way, wouldn't hurt to step up work on the anti-master helmet later
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:20 PM
It was my next project, so probably.
Might work on it when I get back.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:21 PM
i think you should
if other tinkers can make use of the designs for anti simurgh/heartbreaker stuff, thatll be a net boon for everyone
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:21 PM
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, th͞e͞ Si҉mu͏rg͘ḩ ҉i̛s ҉fi͏nè.̛
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:22 PM
ZALGO
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:22 PM
But against Heartbreaker, yeah.
Pika21-Mar-21 08:22 PM
( :) )
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:23 PM
the text was 'the simurgh is fine' so something's fucking up there
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:23 PM
I mean, she's still stuck on her attack cycle, but once her Dadversary is dead, it'll be fine.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:24 PM
...out of curiosity what are your thoughts on getting in touch with cauldron
like, in the abstract
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:25 PM
Cauldron are utterl̵y͏ i͘rr̨edee̸m̴ąbl̕e. Why?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:26 PM
because i'm shocked you didnt immediately go for the power copier and call in cauldron to have said copier get eidolon's power to stop all the endbringers at once
also, zalgo
im just noting every instance of it as we go
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:27 PM
That would actually be a pretty good idea.
Well, I guess if E҉id̸olo̢n͡ ͞ev̨er ͜s͞t̷opś ̛by̵,͘, she can give that a shot.
So Leviathan, probably.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:28 PM
more zalgo 'eidolon ever stops by'
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:28 PM
...
E̴v̛e͢r͜y̡thi͘nģ's̶ fin̴e̢.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:29 PM
question: does it take me pointing out the zalgo for you to see it, or does it like
auto corrupt on your end
IanBOT21-Mar-21 08:29 PM
No, I can see it.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 08:30 PM
eh. guess we'll see one way or another if everything is fine once that anti master helmet is made
any chance of making a wide-range broadcast variant of this?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:26 PM
I make personal equipment. This is as far as I can stretch my power.
I do high-quality custom stuff, so no mass-production either.
This is a nightmare.
Also, I do know about Ward, for the record.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:27 PM
ok, good
so, teleporters
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:27 PM
Fucking titans.
The quarantine is to stop the scary master influence from getting out.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:28 PM
im shocked they didnt make it a full-on dome, then, given vista can get past those walls
Kid WinBOT21-Mar-21 09:28 PM
"Oh hey Muse, you look grim. What's up?"
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:28 PM
banged your head on something
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:28 PM
It's been growing day by day.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:29 PM
thats the go to excuse
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:29 PM
"Stubbed my toe."
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:29 PM
fuck
Kid WinBOT21-Mar-21 09:29 PM
"Yikes."
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:30 PM
if it's been growing, i wouldnt be shocked if the prt cut off fresh water to the city sooner rather than later
if a threat can't be contained, its gotta be killed
so there's probably some bullshit helping with that on the inside thanks to her, then
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:31 PM
I mean, they don't kill off people in Simurgh quarantines.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:31 PM
simurgh quarantines dont grow
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:31 PM
The wall has been growing, rather.
They're still shipping in food and stuff as well.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:32 PM
i wonder if we can make taylor throw herself in the bay by revealing she's emma by way of heartbreaker and the simurgh
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:32 PM
Will she believe it?
I mean, she hasn't noticed the wall yet.
Nobody has.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:33 PM
what if we forced her into the chat?
or made something to project an AoE anti-master field?
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:33 PM
Oh we trying to make someone kill themself?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:33 PM
The machine is built to be one-way protection, in case a master wanted to use it.
Malaki
Oh we trying to make someone kill themself?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:33 PM
for once, yes
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:34 PM
I can't make AoE or suppression equipment unless the cape in question explicitly wanted to cut off that part of their power.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:34 PM
hm... well, your power breaks all reasonable limits when you arent focusing on anything
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:35 PM
Sure, but I also have no control over the outcome at all.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:35 PM
you straight up cannot take on bullshit mary sue without breaking her worldview first
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:35 PM
She can only use three copied powers at once.
So it's not impossible or anything.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:36 PM
oh, so she's only as dangerous as eidolon meets tohu without the durability
and with purity blasts
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:36 PM
She's just basically Eidolon lite and has the whole city on her side probably. No biggie.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:36 PM
yeah so you straight up cannot take on bullshit mary sue without breaking her worldview first
either that or forcing her friends out of the effect somehow
tattletale would be excellent for this, so she's high priority
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:37 PM
I can make more anti-master gear. One at a time, but I can.
If I grabbed Tattletale, wouldn't Lord notice?
How down-low do we want to keep this?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:38 PM
she's already noticed
you don't factor into her world at all
you literally commented on the fact she was giving you strange looks
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:38 PM
Ah heck.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:39 PM
frankly i wouldnt be shocked if people started randomly trying to murder you, and that includes the people who are supposed to be your allies right now
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:40 PM
I'll have to accelerate the rez-pod plans, then.
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:40 PM
She fire proof?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:40 PM
she's got vista, so flamethrowers arent really an option
we need a way to confirm the kill hard and fast without giving her a chance and/or desire to fight it
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:41 PM
If not let me tell you the wonders of organic peroxides and there insane flamability/toxicity
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:41 PM
tattletale, we cant poison the hebert household either, its why i jumped to 'talk her to death'(edited)
getting more tinkers on your side would be good, starting with armsmaster, so more anti-master gear can be made, if we wanna get as many people working on this as possible
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:41 PM
I can't make flamethrowers or poison without someone who's power would be good with them.
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:42 PM
...oh then just use a white phosphorous smoke grenade in her house, the amount that gets in her lungs would be lethal, and there is no cure for WP poisoning
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:42 PM
She's power copier Eidolon.
She sees someone, and she can use their power.
Three at a time.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
has she ever seen browbeat?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
Don't think so.
Actually, where is he?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
...if her power mastered her into not knowing browbeat exists, that'd be fucking hilarous and a major advantage
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
I don't think he ever joined the Wards.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
...she might've killed him
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:43 PM
...
And it's not like his real name was ever revealed.
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:44 PM
He def was browbeat b4 joining the wards
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:44 PM
you may be able to look up hospital records to find out who he is
he fell into the bay to get his powers
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:44 PM
He nearly drowned, right?
Yeah.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:44 PM
not just that, but nearly froze too i think
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:44 PM
I'll check the wiki.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:45 PM
Sometime later when out with a friends family on their boat Browbeat stepped off the side into the march-temperature water. In doing so, he suffered major physical trauma, nearly died, and ultimately triggered.
The PRT found out about his power after the hospital notified them of his fast recovery time. His family and the PRT discussed several options while they figured out a balance of mental health and powers. Ultimately, they decided he was safe to stay for the Wards for the time being.[3]
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:45 PM
...so he mightve just died
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:45 PM
I'll see if I can check the records, then.
After I pull an all-nighter making backup chat-machines.
God, I wish I was a noctis cape.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:46 PM
can you make something to emulate MM's noctis power?
also, food for thought, putting chat machines in the walls sounds like a good idea
since nobody knows theyre a thing
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:47 PM
I'd have to find someone who's power would get explicit benefits from not sleeping.
Good idea.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:47 PM
armsmaster's is actively pushing for him to get benefits from not sleeping
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:47 PM
I was thinking of waterproofing one and chucking it in the Bay.
Awake21-Mar-21 09:47 PM
Welp I just read up, shit
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:48 PM
leet's may benefit from sechen range boosts with a weird sleep schedule, if his history is 'washed out game dev'
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:49 PM
That was an example of a free tinker trigger used in a Weaverdice document. I think Roust based Leet's trigger on that.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:49 PM
prolly, but it does make sense with leet, if nothing else
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:50 PM
Examples of Free Tinker triggers: A man discovers he has an Earth Aleph counterpart who found fame, and over the years he hears more and more stories that lead him to question his place in existence;
Leet's with Lord, anyway.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:51 PM
true
guess you cant work with hypotheticals then, huh?
Awake21-Mar-21 09:51 PM
You know, considering potentially useful allies
Villains
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:51 PM
No, I need a cape in my radius to make anything more than the most general support gear.
Awake21-Mar-21 09:51 PM
If Taylor is playing hero, they'd be less noticed
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:51 PM
in that case, noctis features would probably benefit aegis a good deal - ease redundant biology strain
taylor would be hunting villains down
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
I can also maintain other tinkertech as a sub-power, but that's about it.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
she's probably going to murder coil, to which i say good riddance, but
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
Coil's already in prison.
Awake21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
Ah
Who else is already in prison
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
...has his base detonated
Awake21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
Or dead
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:52 PM
or did tt deal with that
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
Just the ABB and Coil.
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
...can u get his power?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
There wasn't an explosion, at least.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
ian isn't a power copier
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
I think Lord's team might've taken over his base?
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
...well, that's one option for dealing with them: forcibly detonating the base while they're in it
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:53 PM
...That's an option.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:54 PM
would cause a fuckton of other casualties tho
so bad option, but an option
Awake21-Mar-21 09:54 PM
Yeah
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:54 PM
My power lets me make custom equipment for any capes within a few dozen feet of me.
Then again, an entire mastered city. Not the best scenario
Oh wait, Cauldron. Alexandria is master-proof right?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
As far as I can tell, the mastering spreads through interactions, like a disease.
Oh, I hope Alexandria come sin.
Comes in*
Awake21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
Theres also Contessa and PTV
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
PTV can be infected
Awake21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
Not sure they'd risk her getting infected yeah
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
she's probably already infected tbh
Awake21-Mar-21 09:55 PM
Not until she had anti-master tech
Oof
That'd be a priority to change
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
unless she ran anti-master path before current paths
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
If she's infected, we're all fucked.
Same with the Simurgh.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
'i can tell you how to kill scion, you just need to put this fancy hat on'
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
Pfft.
Awake21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
Lmao
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
At least that's an option.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:56 PM
if she's infected, it would work
Awake21-Mar-21 09:57 PM
That's a point, how much of the situation does Taylor know
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:57 PM
i wonder if anti-mastering danny would work
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:57 PM
I'm... not sure how that would go down, and I'm kind of afraid to find out.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:57 PM
she's clearly aware something is up with ian, so there's a degree of self awareness there
Malaki21-Mar-21 09:58 PM
God i hope this doesnt spread to say...the fallen

Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:58 PM
^^^^
Awake21-Mar-21 09:58 PM
So. It spreads through interaction
Have any individuals mysteriously hunkered down
If so they might have avoided it
IanBOT21-Mar-21 09:58 PM
Maybe? I have no idea.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:59 PM
this is one of the few times jack slash coming in here would actually improve things funny enough
Awake21-Mar-21 09:59 PM
Yeah
Shockingly
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 09:59 PM
either jack is murdered by taylor, or jack kills taylor
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
...man could really use armsmaster's prediction engine rn
Awake21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
Yeah
Armsmaster is a priority
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
armsmaster should be first priority for other anti-master tech
Awake21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
We should prolly be ready for a fight though
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
Unless Bonesaw gave him anti-master tech and he convinced Lord to join the Nine somehow.

followed by director piggot
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
...didnt he make a prototype anti psychic device?(edited)
Awake21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
Ian seemed to be subconsciously against the implant so Armsmaster might be more violent
Malaki
...didnt he make a prototype anti psychic device? (edited)
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:00 PM
not at this point
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:01 PM
I think that was just fanon.
And I think he only started working on that after TT became an issue.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:01 PM
i think it was mentioned in the fundraiser
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:01 PM
The implants thing is bad fanon, rather.
But I don't think he's made the psychic shielding yet.
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:02 PM
...dammit
Awake21-Mar-21 10:02 PM
You know, I wonder if Dragon is affected or not
Shes an ai
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:02 PM

Malaki21-Mar-21 10:02 PM
She has biological parts
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:02 PM
Armsmaster turned his head to look at where Miss Militia had Regent at gunpoint. “Which means you can stop trying to use your power on me, Regent. I’ve got a little blinking light in the corner of my H.U.D. telling me you’re trying something. I’ve set up psychic and empathic shielding, to protect myself from you and Tattletale.”
Tangle 6.6
Awake21-Mar-21 10:03 PM
Ah okay
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:03 PM
I know. I was referring to the implants thing as fanon.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:03 PM
Hmm, we should add Dragon to priority list for potential connection to outside world and support
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:03 PM
I remember the psychic shielding thing, dw.
We'd have to be careful not to let the master power spread to her.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:03 PM
if dragon got infected, the dragonslayers almost certainly have killed her by this point
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:04 PM
For all we know, I'm still a 'carrier', I'm just repressing the symptoms.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:04 PM
We also dont know if she was infected though, or is able to
That. Is a point.
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:04 PM
Shit yeah
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:04 PM
i don't think we can help her one way or another tbh - unless she has anti master tech built in, theres very good odds she's already dead thanks to that fucker, saint
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:05 PM
Fuck Saint.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:05 PM
I'm guessing Taylor either doesn't sleep or doesn't need to be awake to keep the effect going?
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:05 PM
Memetic hazard typhoid marry

Awake21-Mar-21 10:06 PM
Yeah
Then we can work through the list of other capes
Tinkers will be better because power copying bs
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:07 PM
noted for later after the backup chat machines are made
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:07 PM
I've got one backup done and ready to drop in the Bay, and another half-made.
It'll be done by the time I need to go to school.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:07 PM
Good
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:07 PM
ok, bay drop is a good idea
Awake21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
Dont skip school, follow the schedule and act normal
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
Luckily, I'm a ward of the state, so I don't have a house I need to get back to overnight.
'Act normal' was the plan.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
The longer it takes her to realize you're not mastered, the longer you have
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
Exactly.
And we go to the same school, so that'll be doubly important.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
she doesnt know who the fuck you are, so just acting casual, if awkward, should be enough
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
Point.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:08 PM
Yeah.
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:09 PM
Welp, the second backup is done.
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:09 PM
Need some cherish/regent tech to force her to kill herself
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:09 PM
i dont think there's any actual powers in the bay aside from tinker bullshit that could retrieve something in the bay, and if the other one gets buried in the wall she'll have to search the whole length of the wall to find it
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:09 PM
I feel like they got harder to make as I made more of them. Dunno why, that's never happened for anything else.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:09 PM
If she even knew it existed
Malaki
Need some cherish/regent tech to force her to kill herself
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
can't copy powers, only work alongside them, and only if the cape in question is nearby
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
^
Awake21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
Tbh, really good gun and sniper point
Her being in control makes her vulnerable
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
tattletale
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
So I could make something that, say, improved Cherish's range, but she can already manipulate emotions, so I can't make emotion-manipulation tech from that.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:10 PM
Right
But tattletale has to notice it
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
I wouldn't be surprised if Lord kept brute powers on at all times.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
True
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
probably, thats eidolon's strategy
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
I think she keeps Alabaster's power on, with how pale she looks.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
Damn
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:11 PM
in that case, you'd have to obliterate her brain, which. glory girl is a thing
alabaster's power would turn her hair white i think

Ha. Maybe.
Unless it's just packed to the gills for that exact reason.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:16 PM
rip
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:17 PM
You know, looking around through un-mastered eyes, things aren't as good as I thought they were.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:17 PM
How so?
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:17 PM
Everywhere is still run down, and a lot of shops are closed.
I guess there's just not enough imports, and zero exports.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:18 PM
So she put a perception bandage over things then
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:18 PM
It seems like it, yes.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:18 PM
You know, there's one admittedly suicidal option. Use the unclouded view and try and talk sense into her
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:18 PM

Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:18 PM
risky, yea(edited)
Awake21-Mar-21 10:18 PM
Though that prolly wont work
Unless shes mastering herself
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:19 PM
I'll save that one for a last-resort.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:19 PM
Her view is skewed enough to even master her friends
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:19 PM
if she's mastering herself, she won't believe you
if she isn't, she'll probably turn people on you to kill you
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:19 PM
Not like she had any friends before she got her powers.
Okay, that came out mean.
Oops.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:19 PM
Which raises the 50/50 of plopping anti power helmet on her
Oof
Or antimaster, not power,
Worded that wrong
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:20 PM
Worst case scenario, she becomes aware of her power and starts using it smarter.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:20 PM
Itd be early worm Taylor

this is bad fanon taylor, probably
Awake21-Mar-21 10:20 PM

Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:21 PM
she got into a huge stage-managed fight with sophia in the middle of the wards lounge

Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:21 PM
true
Awake21-Mar-21 10:21 PM

If the power is fanoning things
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:21 PM
Which raises questions about what the hell is up with her shard.

Might be affecting her by proxy
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:21 PM
QA's been reading too much bad fanfic.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:21 PM
I mean, you're an insert right
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:21 PM

Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:23 PM
your powers seem to be non-shard-based, id like to point out, ian. or at least not completely based in shard fuckery
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:23 PM
Ah. Point.
Awake21-Mar-21 10:23 PM
Especially if her trigger was the same, the new power might have just let her retreat into fantasy land to escape it
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:24 PM
then again this could be your shard getting pissed as fuck at QA and making countermeasures
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:24 PM

-1 secret slot with major mind control involved
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:26 PM
...Huh.
Malaki21-Mar-21 10:26 PM
Honestly an appropriat reaction would be nuking the place, unfortunately Zion took away intercontenental nuclear missels off the table
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:26 PM
there's still intercity ballistic missiles
IanBOT21-Mar-21 10:26 PM
I guess her 'worthy opponents' are 'worthy fanon'? Or something.
Limina Idling | Hours21-Mar-21 10:26 PM
