so I noticed he said Hero-Rogue, on the rogue side what is the first step? clean the harbor from sunken ships, or start a clinic with panacea duplicates?

Kitty needs some cash! :grin:

Whatever he does will have to fly under the radar of whatever information gathering ability Simurgh uses to choose her targets.

If OP makes a Captain America formula and starts licensing it to the government he'll probably get a visit from an angel.
 
I assure you all it was quite innocent. The girl is a blushing introvert, she has not the necessary qualifications to be that lewd.
I can believe it.

For Taylor, Schrodinger's arrival is probably almost certainly the best thing to happen to her in a year and change. Her life was an unrelentingly shitty march of awfulness, and having a psychotic break that gave her superpowers served largely to A) erode even more at her self-esteem and B) give her a shortcut to commit suicide without even consciously acknowledging an inclination towards such behavior. Just prior to the SI's interaction with her, she's still very much Taylor 'My powers are as worthless as I am' Hebert. At that point, it was basically a tossup whether she'd kill herself or join a cult/one of the gangs.

But then? Schrodinger hit Taylor with the force of a thousand Disney princes raised to the power of cat. It probably helps that he quite literally made her chemically-inclined to like him during the first couple minutes of their initial meeting before correcting that particular miscalculation, but he did more or less everything else right to ingratiate himself to her. He's the best of a bunch of different worlds. He's simultaneously...

-A cute (in the dawwww sense) boy who let her actually vent her troubles to anyone pretty much since they started over a year ago.

-An adorably affectionate stray cat that didn't have a home to return to and took a shine to Taylor. And finally...

-...a bullshit-tier Trump in the same area code as Glaistig Uaine and Eidolon with the amazing addition of an inbuilt power-granting subpower that puts the like of Othala and Galvanate to shame. Sure, it only works on one person at a time, but it grants that one person any two (non-Cauldron/Contessa) powers, and hahahahaha the potential!

Anyhoo, bottom line is that Taylor's attachment to Schrodinger is plenty believable without even a lewd component. On top of all the stuff I just said, the most recent development boils down to her suddenly having a source of comfort for the first time in even remotely recent memory on top of...well, a bunch of actual hormonal stuff, but also a bunch of reasons why it'd be difficult for her to entirely divorce Schrodinger from the idea of him being more or less a friendly cat that followed her home. And from the look of it...
I let out a sigh of relief and poked Taylor in the forehead until she opened her eyes, grumpily swatting at my hand. "Wha-?" She sounded almost petulant, that is, until the situation at hand presented itself and she snapped her pillow in front of her clothed chest like a shield.

"What are you doing in my bed." I deadpanned.

...

"I...had a nightmare..."
...it wasn't even really a wholly-conscious decision. I wouldn't even be that shocked if it was a holdover habit from better days. To all appearances, Taylor and Emma had been the kind of close from a young enough age that I'd actually be kind of surprised if they didn't periodically fall asleep in close proximity, or if Taylor (or Emma, really) didn't come to associate that sort of thing with comfort in otherwise dark times.

Also, it's been a long day, so I'm just gonna end things here before I ramble any further.
 
I'm pretty sure that's not how his power works. I think it's the faster he goes the less force he can exert on the world around him. So as long as you don't go to fast he could still use it to speed up the paperwork.

Though I'm not sure what the protectorate would think if they saw him doing so.

It's not that I couldn't find a way to bullshit through the paperwork, its that I have to do it at all. Let me reiterate. I hate paperwork. Just the concept of it annoys me. I know it's necessary but I hate doing paperwork because you invariably have to read every line of it, especially when it comes to legalese bullshit and I don't do legalese that well, so I tend to flounder and have to have people explain what things mean, which makes me feel like an idiot. I dislike that feeling.

That I have superpowers that can pretty much laugh in the face of such thing doesn't change my disdain for it any.

Also, not sure if Velocity's power works like that. Vaguely remember his power being objectively normal speeds for him while everyone else was moving slowly, so I'd still have to do the paperwork at the same speed, just not for the people around me.


You put a lot more thought into that than I did but pretty much hit on the head what I was trying to convey, regardless. Well done.

But then? Schrodinger hit Taylor with the force of a thousand Disney princes raised to the power of cat.
I also really, REALLY like that unit of measurement for my bullshit xD

Another part of why it's a wholly innocent thing is that I occasionally need to remind my readers of what I usually write content wise and of the giant METAL colorful BAWKSES squares that will pay a visit if things get out of hand.

Blushing introvert and pervert are not mutually exclusive. The internet is ample proof positive for that.

So while such a thing is possible, it's not in the case of this story. I wanted the scene to come off as cute and adorable, that the main character was freaking out and looking at things from a sexual angle was because I'm of both of that mindset and that age, mentally. Taylor is neither of these.

Like I said, I just like forcing my characters, SI's more often than not, into compromising, degrading and embarrassing situations because it balances my karma in story without resorting to grim derping the hell out of things.
 
Hm...Ya know, I have a question on power interactions... Will mimicking Coil's power create seperately timeline splits, which would be interestino in a Goldberg like fashion... Or will both be aware of both timelines, and both can shut one down at any time, which would troll Coil like there is no tomorrow?

Age, definitely. Mindset, maybe not, but she did rush to cover herself, so she's certainly not acting like she's oblivious to the implications.

mimicking Coil's power
Coil is a Cauldron cape. His power is off limits.

He could make it with Leet's power.

Seriously, Tinkers are bullshit.
1: Leet+Kid Win: build a modular prototype.
2: Armsmaster: Make the parts efficient
3: Masamune+Dragon: make a production version ao all parts
4:Rinse and repeat, reuse the mass-produced parts.

There is no doubt that it's possible. I'm just saying guys like that get hit by s-bombs.

If he makes a super soldier serum without figuring simurgh tampering into the equation it'll become a global disaster somehow.

Channel sleeper to purge any precognition targeting him. Mantellum would have been better ( and less likely to melt nearby innocent minds) but it's of limits....

Then again I suspect he is a precognition blank or he would have been killed/ kidnapped by Contessa or Ziz on day one.
 
It'd also make sense for Siggy to be intreasted in blam!ing anyone she can't control. Even if smol cat can't be Ziz bombed, can his pressence be revealed via someone else's mind? If not, Ziz could catch him while she flips through news channels.

The reaction, I imagine, would be much like an FBI agent discovering a dangerous tax dodger. Though the ears may prove to prompt petting rather than smashing. Actually, Ziz might already be on to him. All she needs to do to incapacitate smol cat is get someone to infinate headpat him. Taylor is the instrument of his doom.

He is immune to Zizbombing.

Himself directly perhaps. But not his creations and not the people he helps.

An example would be: lets say that he develops aforementioned brute drug for police and armed forces.

Zizbomb: 6 months later you get something like Venom or Blockbuster being sold by merchants and other gangs world wide. It only gets worse from there because now this is a publicly available drug in a world with tinkers. You think China isn't going to abuse the hell out of something like this?

Good idea, wrong objective.
You also forgot Bakuda & Squeeler, just think of the car engine you could make.
I mean, a Internal Combustion Engine is what the PR department of the CAR INDUSTRY calls it, original name is Internal Explosion Engine, because of the explosion that happens when the fuel is ignited, which propels the cylinders around.
So I would go for somekinda transportation first, somekinda bike or so.

She was also clothed in that scene, so covering herself further makes no sense. However, she had a nightmare of the worst day of her life, waking up in a dark place, not knowing where she was and someone is right in front of her. I used "Covered herself like a shield" for that reason. It was almost a subconscious knee jerk reaction at that point to put things between us, not to convey that she was self conscious of her body but to convey that she was scared and uncomfortable. My next question made her even more uncomfortable because she wasn't sure exactly how she got there herself, just that her nightmare had something to do with it.

Setting up psychological disaster dominoes isn't the only kind of Ziz-bombing the Simurgh's power set is capable of.

Mental fortress is there so I do not mentally lose myself to all the mind altering capes out there, Simurgh included. However, I'm not a blank from the original CYOA. I can still be seen and manipulated by the Simurgh with external stimulus. She likely also has to do this with some other capes anyway, considering some Case 53's don't even have physical brains to mess with in some cases. So she relies on the aforementioned cement truck hammer from God to get things rolling.

It'd also make sense for Siggy to be intreasted in blam!ing anyone she can't control. Even if smol cat can't be Ziz bombed, can his pressence be revealed via someone else's mind? If not, Ziz could catch him while she flips through news channels.

She doesn't blam Eidolon or any of the other blind spots she has. Going by canon she apparently just wants to be free of control and free from the cycle. I can do both of these things and I have specifically not thought of any actions against her for that reason. Hell the worst I've thought of at the moment is hugging one of them, not even close to being a threat yet. And technically speaking, she is not my enemy, if I can free her without killing her then I'll try to do so, the Endbringers are just as much a victim of Scion and Eden's bullshit as everyone else is.

Or in other words, she's more likely to head pat me than to head pat me, If you get my meaning. Gonna probably blow some people's minds when they see me being treated like a cat by the Simurgh. My indignity will be broadcast around the world...

Imagine what long range lossless wireless transfer of power would do for electric... anything really.

A battery that simultaneously exists in two places could have one permanently set into a charger and one permanently set into a vehicle.

That's not tech anybody in BB could make, not even Leet.
Heck, that's shaker/stranger powers, not tinker powers.
You´re better off with a subspace-pocket with a fusion reactor in it, with a cable going out of this pocket, straight into the power plug of your bike.

Bakuada's specialization is single use devices, not explosions.

Bakuda & Squeeler would be single use mass-production ready tinkertech vehicles.

And yes,

That's not supported by canon.

Her tinker power lets her build bombs and bomb-accessories.
- Bombs
- Cranial surgery to implant bombs
- Toe-ring trigger system to trigger specific bombs
- Grenade launcher which works with all of her bombs

Bombs are what she does. You can change that if you're the author, but you're not the author in this thread, and polluting other people's threads with fanon is something a bad person would do.

Give a hoot, don't pollute.
