As I said up at the top, I'm uncertain if I'll pick it up again in the future or not. Changer 7 to 8? There was a Post-GM fic where Taylor became house-wife and rising a daughter in the world where she(Khepri) is worshipped like a god and her husband is a priest of this religion, An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades] short, I didn't enjoy Hades much cause its not my type of game, but that was incredibly enjoyable, Divine Administration - of Gods and Bureaucracy, https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/divine-administration-of-gods-and-bureaucracy-worm-exalted.13442/. Groaning in terror she looked around again, seeing nothing else that could help her. Which is the fact that, for the last six weeks, there have been no new cases of malaria diagnosed. Amy stared in amazement. You can call me Hive. Wracking her brain, Amy couldnt recall any cape of that name. I want there to be an actual plot, setting and conflict. Work Search: Your use to the Wards may come to an abrupt end no matter what the Chief Director wants. There was a pregnant silence from everyone for a short time as Sophia shrank back into her chair, her mind whirling. Theres one other thing that Ive been wondering about, but I dont have any proof yet. As a demigod, your true class will be hidden from all, lest the powers that be seek you out before you are ready. Pulling her head back she stifled the whimper she nearly made, wondering what they wanted. And why am I here? Director Piggot stared hard at her. Not much of a story where everything gets solved in a couple of days, right? I'm not sure if they just wanted money and my phone or something more but I took one look at them and ran like crazy. She shuddered in remembrance. Not human. Energy generation ex nihilo sounds a lot like the [SOLUTION] though. Fuck me, this is ridiculous, Assault mumbled, looking at the results so far. Unluckily, her power isn't the subtlest thing alive, and the Wards are chasing her soon after. Sophia Hess. Yes. Amy paused, then nodded. Thank god, it was dark. (Un)Fortunately, Taylor would rather live on the streets than go with them. The sounds of footsteps came closer and closer. You are not their equal, but one day you might be. Off. Assault shook his head a little then leaned forward. Although apparently also with a desire to help, she replied. Taylors mother was different from everyone else. Master 8? No cases at all. Its spread by mosquitoes, isnt it? Yes, the Anopheles genus. He thought for a moment. I was hiding behind it, she replied, now a little internally amused herself. Itll do for the moment. The wings began to flap rapidly as she lifted off. Her eyes, when she moved her head a little to look at the Rig directly, had thousands and thousands of tiny facets which made the sunlight refract into all the colors of the spectrum in various patterns, like looking at a DVD from an angle but even more spectacular. Oh, dear. People pick up on that sort of thing at a subconscious level, so its important to at least pretend or they start backing away and trying not to make eye contact. He grinned at her. But, of course, they found me anyway. And this Hive person? Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. On one hand I'd quite like to as I think it has some promise, on the other hand it could easily end up being another story that exploded into far more words than I was originally expecting. If it wasn't for the fact that she's useful she'd be locked up right now. Tada! What? she growled. I may troll her a little now and then just to keep her honest but her crimes towards me are a long way in the past from my point of view. She sighed. Hive held out one of her own right hands, the delicate-looking clawed digits wrapping around Amys own fingers. What do you make of the word or whatever it was written on the back wall of the locker? Inspecting another photo for a moment she transferred her gaze to him. Have read that! Insect? At least she has his bullsh!t powers to back it up. Not least of which was the fact that one of her tormentors worked for you guys. Sophia, he muttered. Reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet Hive headed directly towards the Dallon house, making Amy wonder how she knew where it was. Well, like I said, I panicked and hid. Let her rest in peace. Her head moved in a nod. She was as uncooperative as usual, but in the end I managed to get her to admit to knowing the victim. It was obvious from her voice that the lack of family had an unpleasant story behind it. I turned off most of my emotions a long time ago, they just caused problems. Subjectively it took years to come up with the right design. Hello, Assault, the figure suddenly said, the voice female and clear. The moral, the strong, the pure, and the hedonists. The fire spread very fast, most of that wing of the building was already gone by the time the first responders arrived. I cant prove it one way or another as of yet. All right, Piggot replied, with a frown of her own. Taylor just laughed. God, Vicky, Amy said with exasperation, going back to her task with a shake of her head. Glowworm is a Worm fanfic written by redshirt. This could be a problem, he eventually said. He never even saw the huge, ugly monstrosity of a truck, festooned with armament, that came around the corner fifty feet away at over sixty miles an hour. Something you should be very, very grateful about. Staring at him with wide eyes, she barely heard Piggot saying her name until the woman raised her voice. She wasn't thinking very clearly but she did try. There was silence for a moment from both of them. Nearly two hundred thousand times as many neural cells. Sophia does have a habit of poking her nose into things. You believe she could have been directly involved, Director? Armsmaster sounded curious. Not that he's complaining. That was the first problem, insect senses are not at all like human ones. Not really. 'Nearly a week,' he thought, closing his eyes for a moment. We had a nice long talk about all sorts of things and she told me a story, of three nasty little girls who tortured a schoolmate to the point she Triggered. Shes lying, Sophia tried. Why muggers? He stirred, asking, But how did you? Escape? He heard a resigned chuckle. Emma's body is discovered over winter break, the locker never happens, Taylor triggers with a thinker power remarkably reminiscent of supercop Harrier du Bois' unique way of looking at the world. Please. She reached up and peeled her mask off, sighing in relief that they were back and apparently in the clear. With a very warped view of interpersonal relations, as well. We've noticed, he told her. New information makes it pretty certain that well be able to prove it was you and your little friends who were responsible for her being in that locker in the first place. A subreddit to discuss fanfics for Wildbow's works! She shook her head. Relaxing a little he put the phone down again. Probably around ten chapters, varying lengths. From what she said her powers connected all the neurons directly somehow, bypassing the normal synaptic connectivity and electrochemical processes. She shook her head in apparent awe. How did that help? It was the watchman who raised the alarm when he smelled something other than his cigarette burning. Nodding to the folder, he added soberly, The evidence suggests that Miss Hebert was still alive when that happened. Christ. Director Piggot swiveled her chair to look out the window for a moment, before turning back. But she hasnt gotten high on her power and is still figuring out her limits. For example, if it's just a story where Taylor can control the Endbrings and fixes all the problems in the world in a couple of chapters, I won't be interested in that. The people she can help. Oh, Jesus, Piggot is going to go insane when she finds out about you, he groaned, holding his head in his hands. A parahuman with global reach? he eventually said. And we have no idea how fast she can fly. Armsmaster looked thoughtful as he inspected the monitor next to the one showing Dragons avatar on which she was summarizing the results of the discussion. Presumably the conductive pathways were to allow the released electricity to exit through the claws. All right. Hilarity ensues. No. For what it's worth, though, I've posted what I finished. My phone is dead, Amy said after shaking her head a little to clear her thoughts. ", i second this. Taylor's much too dangerous to be an ordinary cape. None of these conclusions, except for the second one, made her feel in any way better. The four arms are different, and the wings are even stranger. The pause this time was considerably longer. Although Taylor sandbags harder than all of The Endbringers combined, occasionally, she does show her true power. It was only the fact that some bone marrow survived more or less intact that let me run a DNA test at all. He stopped speaking for a few seconds, apparently considering something, then slowly went on, Director, the one thing I can guarantee is that the Hebert girl didnt lock herself in there. Something horrible that leaked out of a dumpster, she said, shrugging a bit then resuming scrubbing. No doubt readers could pick out points of similarity if they cared to. Amy panted for breath, thinking it was ironic that a healer was in such bad physical shape. True. Armsmaster thought about the idea for a little while. We haven't been over much lately but we used to come have barbeques with your mom and dad." She winced a little at her own statement but otherwise did an admirable job of pretending that my dad hadn't just been killed in an accident. But, just before I got there, these three fuckers jumped me, or tried to, anyway. Vicky looked surprised at her language. Oh. He couldn't think what to say after that for a little while, during which she went back to looking at the scenery. Wearing strange clothes that looked like they'd been stitched together from hide. They were getting closer. Hoping you'll continue it soon! Whether she can succeed is another matter entirely. But it was a little more involved really. Still, a six foot tall bug? Her sister was watching her with her head cocked to the side, a very strange expression on her face. But thanks anyway. They both fell silent again. Ive just had the most terrifying conversation of my life with someone who could do things to you that you wouldnt believe, and in my opinion would be fully justified in doing so, but you can thank every deity youve ever heard of that shes a better person than you are. As he did it landed on the desk, facing him. Shadow Stalker felt someone staring at her, making her peer back over her shoulder with a scowl. Good idea. I haven't touched this story in over a year, and while I was rearranging some of the vast number of files that are related to the current work, came across it again and thought it might be worth putting here for the general edification of people. Do I look human? she asked rhetorically, waving one of her hands at herself, one that wasn't resting on the air conditioner. "Hey Taylor, you remember us right? You mean Capes? No, she chuckled. I will continue to work on the problem and will let you know if I find anything else. Good. Closing the folder, the Director pushed it away from her then stared at it for some seconds. Has a rewrite too which is also pretty good but incomplete, a significant enough difference in the story that reading both is recommended. Are you available, Colin? A familiar voice spoke from beside him as the Tinker peered through a microscope of his own devising, gently manipulating tiny tools while watching the result. After a moment the figure waved at her. You OK, Amelia? Hive asked, her voice raised a little over the droning of her wings. The school itself is a write-off, it will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. No other injuries? she asked, closing the folder. Actually, it was the first chronologically, I started . It could fit into either or both depending on the insects in question. She shook her head with good humor. Successfully, as well. That's not right, Assault said slowly. Really efficiently, no fight or anything. What did she do? Vicky now looked fascinated. She was lost in admiration of the optical cells covering the exoskeleton when the person she was investigating made an amused sound. You have me at a disadvantage? Trailing off enquiringly, he waited for a name. Sophia was directly responsible, along with Emma Barnes and Madison Clements, for Taylor Triggering. Shes not my problem any more. Knock out that underpinning and the entire ecology has a drastic change, which wed see very quickly. I hid behind a dumpster, which is where I got that crap on me. The story begins with Taylor encountering a homeless man in the rain and offering her umbrella to keep him dry. She got powers, nothing particularly impressive on the face of it, although potentially fairly effective with a little thought. Nothing happened for a while. I'm just curious at the moment, there's something on the roof of the Fosberg Gallery that I want to have a look at. Acknowledged. There was a quiet rhythm to them, a delicate balancing act between boredom and terror, between long silences where your mind could wander and moments where you were so focused you could spot a dropped pin. More like Thinker If you need to ask youre already dead, he muttered, then looked up as he became aware everyone was staring. There seemed to be a pair of antennae of some sort sticking up from the head area, which were gently moving around a little. Lack of emotional cues, certain trace pheromones, things like that. She looked at him with her head on one side. Assault nodded vigorously. They stopped talking as much to each other, and she herself went from being a fairly outgoing and cheerful if private girl into a bit of an introvert. How such a human sounding voice came from a face like that he had no idea. She hit the floor and rolled over, then found she couldnt move anything except her eyes. He grunted a little, affirmatively, unwilling to stop his current task until be finished the delicate manipulations. Now come with me, the Director wants a word. Staring in shock, she put down the tablet shed been reading and stood. It started out as a yellowjacket but I shrank it to make it less obvious and to raise the pitch of the wings enough that it wasnt very audible, and changed the color so it doesnt stand out. The back of the torso looked like it split open down the centerline, and was more very dark green than gray under the iridescence. While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. You have to be one of those. Turning her head to face him, she cocked it to one side. The family wasn't the same after that, obviously. He had people to fill in. Until she triggered with the biggest ego of all: that of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. The encounter with the insect-woman and the examination that Hive had allowed, if not indeed encouraged, had gone a long way towards alleviating the boring routine she'd fallen into for some time now. I didn't even notice until I left the hospital. She shook her head a little at her own foolishness. You heard those pauses, right? There are other things as well, for example several entertainment companies would appear to have had their entire catalogs downloaded, movies, music, that sort of thing. Like literally in the D&D sense. Looks like the plot is getting rolling with Lisa and the Crystals, too. BBPD is still running their own investigation into the surrounding circumstances of why young Miss Hebert was in that locker, theyre interviewing the entire student body and the staff, but so far no one is saying anything. Honest. It sounds pretty bad, even at this time of year. Shaker or Blaster? Miss Militia asked curiously.
