[X] Tell the truth. You'd assume they had, or could have had, powers. When your own connection went awry, the other humans may have been unfortunate collateral damage. It won't happen again.
-[X] You're worried their powers might yell at you later. It's not your fault, but they'll think it is.
-[X] You don't foresee any problems arising from healing them.
--[X] You'll be surprised if the connections to their powers remain intact, though. Powers don't like dealing with damaged partners. Unless the humans in question were really promising or creative, most wouldn't stay long enough to see them be healed.
-[X] Add that the three should've been bonded with Phantasm, Perfectionist, and Architect. Phantasm was an active partner while the other two had yet to properly link. Does that help any?

[x] Ongoing: Try to be helpful and provide information to other hosts whenever possible, exempting certain unpalatable details about the cycle and Host's own abilities in general.

As I said before, they will probably dismiss this as brain-damage nonsense. Then way later on in the quest they will go "oh, shit. She was actually right." which will be fun to watch.

I agree, talking aloud to shards and hosts alike was hilarious, and using vague metaphors has potential for both obsfucation and scaring the locals .
 
Guys, if you're going to vote for Deflect, edit out the bit about our family name. So far as anyone but us knows, we have no way of knowing that right now. Like, at all. Unless it's written down somewhere we can see, or we manage to fast-talk out a bullsh*t explanation, it's going to raise questions. Questions I don't think we want to answer. It's going to make us look really suspicious.

Eh, it can be easily explained with subconscious word association. Whoever said amnesia was a clean, throughout thing where a completely blank slate is left behind?
 
Deflection people, I'm a bit concerned by this right here.

"You even had to be told your own first name and you only just uncovered your familial name."

Ms Militia was right here when we woke up. Who exactly told us our name and when did they do so?

Never said it was. But I also highly doubt people with pervasive amnesia remember their last name just by hearing...what? Our first name? When even our response made it clear we weren't sure that was our first name? No, that excuse has holes big enough to fly a jet through.

The teacher we talked to before passing out called us "Taylor". Though we actually have no idea if it's our first or last name, come to think of it.

Point taken.

Reasons listed, mostly just don't want to spill the beans straight away. Happy to feign ignorance and go around badly attempting to be human for a bit.

Statement: "Who gives a shit about winning or losing? Nah, this is fun. I wanna do the fun options. If making mutant creatures with superpowers in piggots office because we're bored is more fun than lets do that.

I really wanna operate on a rule of cool/fun basis. There are too many serious things not to."
 
*sigh* It's a shame we won't be pulling out the dreamers/dreaming metaphor this round. Oh well, maybe in the future. Darn, I really wanted to see QA talking directly to shards and only barely acknowledging the parahuman like before though.

Hmm, ultimately, I think I want to sell QA to the PRT as a Trump/Changer. She has a number of 'base forms' she can transform into, but after extended contact with other parahumans, is able to transform into forms with different power-sets. We can pretend our "forms" are things we need to work on, which is kinda true, and just totally ignore the fact that we work on and develop our forms via bio-tinkering. Maybe we can pretend to be a duplicator as well as a Trump-Shapeshifter?

And hats. Because hats. ...Yeah, we're totally going to be considered an unusually powerful grab-bag cape. I can see all the power analysis people looking at "Okay, Form Change, makes sense, with a Trump aspect to develop new forms with powers, fine, and... hats? Why hats? Just... what the heck is the theme here?!"

We're totally going to drive those analysts up the wall with our shenanigans. Like, I can imagine after our bio-tinkering comes up, one analyst goes "YES! OKAY, THAT EXPLAINS- Wait, no! It still doesn't explain anything at all! What does BIO-TINKERING have to do with HATS?! She's been seen to literally snatch hats from random people or put on hats directly from a hat-shop, so they're clearly not Tinker-hats! Argh."

Breaker maybe? She has a limited ability to break reality in specific ways so long as she's wearing a specific kind of hat? Bet they assume it's some kind of mental block. If I had to give some kind of troll-logic explanation for that, I'd go with something like... "Well, powers come from dreams, and dreams are inside your head right? And hats have always been intimately associated with heads! So it makes sense that hats would influence the shape of your dreams as they're expressed in reality. Doesn't everyone wear hats to express how they look inside their heads to an outward manifestation of reality?"
 
Yeah, okay, why not.

[X] Whenever she asks a question, answer a completely different question.
-[X] Get increasingly annoyed at Arsenal's host nonsense questions.
 
Eh, but then we'd have to think of a completely separate question for Arsenal's host to have asked. It'd be funnier if we ignored like, everything a host was saying to only talk to their shards.
