HOLY THREADBOMB BATMAN! Gotta admit, wasn't expecting the 4k there.
Unlike everyone else, I must admit that, Rodin's introduction was amazing, and made me giggle. It was my favorite part, because it hit Rodin right on the head.

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!!!!! Seriously, that must of been a labor of love, or your internet was down for a bit. Hehe. Still, great updates!

What do you mean by at the front? Unless I'm reading all this wrong, he threadmarked all the chapters.

his suggestion is to tell the story linearly, not with a flashback like this

4 chapters? Now thats a SSS rank right there.
Also Cant wait to get some context for the start of the fanfic.

I really hope she listens to Rhodin, nothing is more annoying than the Taylor who laughs at the supernatural while not amazed she has powers.
And Assault and Battery........truly the PRT is always damn late to the party. Can't wait for the action to start.
I love the Bayonetta/Devil May Cry universe. The PRT would shit themselves if they knew how powerful Rhodin is.😈👿

I agree. Don't like when flashbacks take up large parts of a single chapter let alone an entire arc being from the past. Broke pace and flow.
Otherwise arc was mostly good. Taylor's denial of her new abilities stood out as a bit weird. Her time at the bar was interesting.

She's not really in denial though. She fully suspects that she triggered - what she doesn't believe in is magic/demons and so on. Everyone on Earth Bet consider Adepts and Myrrdin lunatics for believing in magic. Why would Taylor believe some random guy that she doesn't know ?
Favorite parts of the update were getting context and then the going through the boxes at the end. Most things played out like how people probably imagined, but more context is always good. And the thing with Sophia's mom was unexpected, so it's still interesting. A breather period after high tension/actions is also good too. Looking forward to the second half!
Also I really like the fact that we got an in medias res start, and are now getting the setup. It really helped grab my attention and draw me in, especially since so many fics start at the locker.

The downtime chapters were very fun to write, if only just because i like the slice of life moments we rarely ever get.
Using Naomi didn't really occur to me until I re-read Sophia's interlude when Regent fucks her up, which was probably the chapter that made me smile the most. Granted, I think Alec went a little too far when he had Sophia threaten her family, but otherwise, it was karmic justice at its finest. And its funny @TheStranger should mention I'm HALPing, because that's partially what inspired me to include Naomi in this.
As for the BBASO, they've been around for at least three years, which plays a little into why Taylor's never heard of it until now. They're still a small organization compared to their parent group the Youth Guard, and given that everyone is obsessed with parahumans and superpowers, it makes sense why Taylor wouldn't have heard of them until now.
I want to make this clear, writing Rodin was fucking difficult. Yes, he's fun to portray, but goddamn.
I little mix of both. Honestly, after doing this, I'm half-tempted just to hold off on posting anymore chapters until the whole arc is finished, but that's not fair to you guys. So I went and posted all the chapters I had done when my internet got its shit together.
They weren't late this time, though. The incident LITERALLY happened a few minutes ago and they were close by. Unfortunately, this also means that Assault missed Rodin dunking on Hookwolf.
That's his only real regret, to be honest.
Poor Battery, she married a manchild.This was a one time thing I think. My internet was down and I had nothing but free time, so...
I did warn you guys ahead of time that arc 2 was going to be the "how we got here" point ahead of time. Besides, Devil May Cry 5 kind of did the same thing, though unlike me, it was handled a whole lot better and didn't break the flow it had. But that's neither here nor there.
On a side note, I was half-tempted to put the newest chapters into a SINGLE chapter, but I decided against it and kept the chapters as they were.
At this point, Taylor's trying to make sense of what's happening around her. She knows she's Triggered, but at the same time, she's a little skeptical because of some issues. Issues from Winslow, unfortunately. Thankfully, those issues will be resolved by the time she takes up the name Vergil.
Last thing is that there will be two interludes this chapter, the first being with Rodin and him being "questioned" by a Protectorate suit. That will be the next chapter, actually. The second one will be published after "Style" is completed and set-up the events for Arc 3, "Muscle."
Which ties into a question that may or may not be spoilery for what I have planned that arc, but is very important since even my co-writer, who is in charge of planning the majority of that arc, is stumped.
The question being, How do Cluster Triggers work? I mean, I've looked at the wiki, but I've been told its incomplete or incorrect at times, and I've just gotten to the segment with Goddess in Ward, but I'm still a little confused. My main bit of confusion is in regards to the Shards involved in said Cluster Trigger.

My main bit of confusion is in regards to the Shards involved in said Cluster Trigger.
If I undersrand it correctly, the basics of cluster triggers is that a bunch of people all trigger seperately but at the same general time and location. This causes the each of their shards to kind of 'overlap' with each other and share parts of themselves. Each shard is at least partially connected to each clustermate. Its like a shared computer network. This is one of the reasons there is some personality overlap that happens and why they are oddly connected to each other, through dreams and the kiss/kill dynamic. In terms of powers, the clustermates will receive the power they would have gotten had it not been a cluster trigger, but at slightly reduces effectiveness, and then receive minor powers based on what other shards are in the cluster.
My understanding is basically what KoopaToad said. Now granted, I haven't read Ward either, I'm not ready for another rollercoaster like Worm, but basically cluster triggers are Shards working together, each one giving one person (the trigger connected to them) a stronger power as their main and giving the others a weaker one, but in exchange their main host gets weaker versions of the other people's powers. Then because the Shards are all connected to several people, and Shards are connected to people's brains, bleedthrough and kiss/kill relationships occur.
I'm not sure if this is true, but I think grab-bag capes are usually either Cluster Triggers or Cauldron capes. Can't remember a source, but I think it was an observation somewhere.

personally i like flashbacks, they allow you to integrate CONTEXT in a more general way, but i will admit that they are not for everyone
