Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

Hey guys, how long does that Linker core serum take to kick in?

Because if it works instantly then couldn't we just use Epoch to rewind Missy if she ends up with a bad mutation and then try again?

I don't know if anyone's asked this yet but if this is the case it seems like a good idea just in case she gets a low number.

Standstill or Kayleigh will be better uses of a template. Laura will probably need an intelligent device.

We can't get a low number. There won't be a roll. Missy's result is pre-planned and set-in-stone. Has been for a long while now.

And this is a sort-of-clever but also very annoying thing to even try. Bad results are part of the game, and trying to min-max them away isn't going to make things better. I personally hope Silently just says 'No' to this, because even though it's not applicable to Missy, I don't want to see it used if we decide to give anyone else a Linker Core in the future.

Eh, fair enough. It wouldn't do to break the mechanics.

Honestly the only reason I suggested this is because it's Missy.

The only reason we're risking Missy at all is she has 'Social Events: Yes' rather than an actual counter, so it isn't a risk. If it wasn't at that stage I'm pretty sure we'd be setting up to spam more social events with her before doing this.
 
So, odds Taylor offers to just roll up the rest of Winter Hill some afternoon and toss them in PRT cells in order to help out Laura?

Also, it sounds like Laura just confessed that the rest of the gang systematically violates the Unwritten Rules, with respect to going after people's civilian identities if they're in their territory.

, "Linker Core detected. Estimated rank: AAA. Thermoelectric spectrum consistent with Ice Mana Conversion Affinity."

"Someone willing to explain any of that to me?" Laura drawls. "Like what the hell a 'triple-A' rank means? Do I have to go around picking up stranded people to recharge or something?"

"AAA rank highest rank of Linker Core capacity. Found in top 2% of mages."
Triple A Frost Affinity is on par with Fate and Nanoha.
She could be a city-buster in her own right, and she has apparently high enough affinity with Cassiel to Unison without any training.

An Intelligent Device and Unison and people would be mistaking her for a mini Endbringer. Doubly so because ice based attacks are both energy and physical, AND very few barriers are designed to cope woth being drained of energy and motion rarher than heated or smashed to failure.
"True enough. Hey, are there any movies or TV shows that are close to right about magic?" she asks. "If we're going to be the witch squad, I want to make sure I'm acting the part."

"Compiling list," Perfect Storm says before you can even fully ask yourself what she wants. "Transmitting to Kayleigh's communication device."

Sure enough, a few seconds later her phone dings. She pulls it out and looks at it, her eyes growing wide. "Oh. That's, uh, several. I guess I'll see you at school on Monday, Taylor. I have a lot of homework to do."
Magical girl binge?

The serum kicks in quickly, but you won't know the results for at least a day.

This isn't violating the Unwritten Rules. They aren't going after civilian identities, but their strategy is still effective for any new cape who lives in their turf.

Option #1. New cape joins WH.
Option #2. New cape plus/minus family leaves. This way they aren't seen in WH territory even though WH doesn't track them down in civie ID to make sure.
Option #3. New cape doesn't WH but still tries to operate in WH territory, or at least risks being seen in costume. Lots of violence and brutality until Option 1 or 2 happens or the new cape dies.

Technically there is a fourth option, the new cape just isn't active and stays at home, but these are capes we're talking about. That won't happen.
Leviathan sank Kyushu in 1999. Did you know the entire Sailor Moon anime series had aired in Japan by 1997 and was being played in English on Toonami by 1998? :whistle:

It wasn't really a great decision to begin with, and with how absolutely adamant she is that she doesn't want to fight giving her a template was a waste.

There is a fifth option. The new cape changes somewhere else, and doesn't walk around in Winter Hill territory in costume.
 

I have never seen "mind if I tag along" without the "along" before, as "mind if I tag," at all, to the point that I find it perplexing that you think the along is a typo.

An Intelligent Device and Unison and people would be mistaking her for a mini Endbringer. Doubly so because ice based attacks are both energy and physical, AND very few barriers are designed to cope woth being drained of energy and motion rarher than heated or smashed to failure.

Don't forget that when we Unisoned, we had wings, so Laura might have them as well, and they were just hidden from view by the sheets. People would be freaking out about Ziz coming back, and the funniest bit would be that they were technically correct :p
 
But... weren't we gonna make her magic!batmanwithgun?

How does that work with Sailor Moon?

What would be a good series in its place? Would need an Aleph import at best (and i think its still too new) for Irregular at Magic School or Certain Magical Railgun. I think the timeline is closer to Madoka Magica, and thats a bit of a downer that doesn't really refute her whole "I don't want the cape life, its bad for you" mindset.

Its not like we can show her Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha after al.... :V :V oh wait, there is an in-universe Movie that Fate and Nanoha made and Kayleigh absolutely needs to see for shipping fuel :V Teana plz we have a mighty need for you to meet them and get this idea. Plz Tea Tea you are our only hope 😽

Edit: ...... They absolutely would've noticed Perfect Storm trying to hack their ship when we visited, right??? I mean, it did have multiple chances to try and get intel on the modern-Belkans.... and this is probably actual recruiting/propaganda department material, seals and all.

Not sure how you mean.
I don't have a Phd. but wouldn't Flare and Ice mana be on opposite spectrums? As in, the ability to light stuff on fire and the one to reduce energy in an object till it freezes.

*Looks at how Fate and Nanoha defeat Rein Einz in the movie*

Just sayin'
We'll have to see what she takes from that series, won't we? :D
Kayleigh's gonna a get a nice suit and barely-concealing-mask plus prop roses, ain't she?
 
"The other Gears and I have been working on the small-scale power plant Shipwright came by *to help us build and well as our own tools*, but we have a nice little factory set up now in the car maintenance bay. We can start working on Devices whenever you want."
I'm not sure quite what was meant there

actually it's the lack of 'I' that is the typo you have 'mind if tag' I was pointing out it should be 'mind if -/*I*/- tag' I didn't include the along because I was being lazy
