Devil Trigger (Devil May Cry/Worm AU)

Okay the Half-demon thing is still bothering me,
I can't get the thought of a Demon just invading the Shard space and hitting Taylor's Shard until it submits and let it be in control.

Anybody else with this in their head?
We'll get answers when Leviathan shows up. Be patient, we were told to drop it by the author when we nearly got into a bitch fest at each other.
 
Silly Taylor, taking on a midgame miniboss in the tutorial isn't smart.
So much for "baby steps."
:D
Then again, she wasn't expecting to fight a demon this early into her cape career.
Keeping up the brother's tradition of letting yourself get stabbed in the chest I see.

Besides that, a great fight scene.
I didn't even realize that until someone actually pointed that out.

Now, if only it had been by her own weapon, it would have been the PERFECT callback!
Typo.
This was a good chapter. And Antares still thinks Taylor is an E88 associate, even if they literally just fought side-by-side. Tje following conversation should be fun (for the readers).
She doesn't owe her any answers...
Taylor is going to clear up that misunderstanding real quick. Unfortunately, the problem isn't so much about getting Vicky to believe her as it is trying to get others to believe her. Like, say, the ABB or the Merchants.

On the plus side, Taylor might have made an ally in someone in the Empire. At the very least Rune will be grateful. In her own bitchy way, of course.
 
Hoping this leads to Rune redemption. I always like Rune and Purity being turned into Heroes and away from the Empire.

Possible, but unlikely. Rune and Purity are true believers. Even as a "Scribe" she was still a racist. If she's not one/not as radical in this AU - another matter entirely.
Overall - up to the author. Gotta see how it plays out.

Eh, at best Rune might veer into anti-hero territory, but don't expect her to start saving people or beat down other villains. Purity is another matter entirely for an arc coming up in the future.
 
Parahuman Online: Help Wanted
So, I'll be honest. I have no confidence in writing a PHO forum segment. I asked for help a little while ago, and @Functionality gave me some advice. Said advice was:
Suggestion: for the PHO segment get a lot of people to roleplay as posters. Make an original post, and have them react to it from different points of view, copy-paste their responses and format accordingly
With this in mind...who's up for helping this dumbass make a forum post?

Okay, so for those who don't know, literally two days ago, Winslow High School got sliced to pieces. The BBPD met the chick responsible, goes by some weird-ass name. Vergil, I think.

And last night, no fucking joke, I saw her hauling who may or may not have been Rune missing an arm, and not ten seconds later do I see her and Antares fight the scariest looking Case 53 ever. For those curious, link here.

Any idea if she's a new Empire Cape or a Ward?
 
Sure I'm game. My post is below.

Good that The Littlest Nazi got her arm sliced off, maybe it'll help her decide to not be a Nazi. Rune is young enough to turn her life around, right? Anybody know? As for the new Cape, I'm going to guess Independent. Seems too Heroic for the Empire, and too stabby for the Wards.
 
That's a good idea.

Props to Vergil for doing what everybody else wanted to and destroying Winslow. That place was a cesspit.
Wonder if she's single?
Wait... She kind of looks like <Redacted- you've been warned before about speculation about cape identities. Have an infraction - TinMother>

Wait a second...Red streaks, almost Killed capes..is that the Bloody Cape they're fighting?!
 
The heck! I've been gone for maybe a day or two, and you updated like crazy.

Seriously Void, you gotta stop. It's a wonder how the hell you haven't been perma banned.

Jokes aside, for once I agree. Whoever Vergil is, I will honest to god thank her in person for taking down Winslow. As for the Case-53, damn that thing was wicked fast. Mover 5 at least.

...wait, did they seriously just kill it?! Holy shit! Is-is that allowed?
 
I'm HALPING!

Two new capes in town, one especially freaky Case53 and the other stabhappy. Yay.

At least Nazis got their Mover down?

EDIT: Case53 is dead. Whoops, didn't see that at first. At least it's not gonna run around and kill people, I guess.
 
Greg is a bit too on the nose here I'd say- he usually pops in later a few posts down the line in the threads and it might be better to make him recognizing Taylor an Edit: to the post or have it happen in an another post down the line. Ultimately, this is just my opinion though.
Here's my contribution:

Well damn, that's one scary fella right there. Wouldn't want to bump into him in a dark alley I'll tell you that much. We don't know the context for the situation so there's no telling if it's a temporary alliance between Antares and this Vergil of unknown allegiance or if they're on the same side. Saving Rune could have been done out of basic human decency really. I know she's a neo-nazi and all but I wouldn't leave anyone to the tender mercies of whoever this lovely Case 53 is.

Actually, wait... could that be the Bloody Cape? If so... the status quo just got shifted mighty fine I believe.

Another lovely day in the Bay, eh my fellow Brocktonites?

There's no way the new cape is a hero! She destroyed a school and rescued an Empire cape! Granted, Winslow was a low-quality school, but its still a school. "Vergil" needs to be arrested.
Also, I second the motion on Rune hopefully turning her life around. We needs more heros.

Normally I would agree with you, but the school in question was WINSLOW. Even the school district was happy to see that place get sliced and diced.

I hope you don't mind if I point out the rampant hypocrisy in this statement. Rune is a literal nazi with a rap sheet that's probably longer than my arm and you want her to turn her life around but you're dissing Vergil for actually saving her so she could presumably do it? Did you really think through that statement? And it's probably a net positive Winslow got destroyed. All the gangs recruited from it, teens from any of those gangs could pull a knife or probably even a gun on you and no one would bat an eye. I heard from a friend that even the frickin' school district itself is glad that it's gone.

We know too little about Vergil to judge her possible motivations yet. Give it some time. Don't railroad her into being a villain already because you're convinced she can't be given a chance. That's how you make even more villains.

Edit: Fixed minor spelling issue. (Yes, include this in my PHO post. It's in character I swear :D)

Wait, seriously? I haven't been in a high school for 40 years, so I have no clue what the situation is. All I know about Winslow is that it was allegedly a bad school.

Well damn.
Okay, maybe I jumped the gun. You have a point. I was wrong.

Winslow aside, if that really is the Bloody Cape, then something tells me I'm going to sleep a whole lot better. Well, as better as I can get in Brockton Bay.

Now that I think about it, doesn't the Bloody Cape have a kill order?

It's all fine friend. Just please consider the situation through first before you act. You'd get dog piled in other threads instantly if you spoke like that before thinking.

That they do, that they do. I feel like Vergil and Antares just earned themselves a lot of money. I think the collective bounty the Bloody Cape collected over the years was getting up to an eight figure number but don't quote me on that.

The nightlife might become... more alive, I suppose. It's been pretty dead for a decade now. Might be nice to go out and celebrate at the Palanquin now that I won't have to worry about being eviscerated by it. If it is the Bloody Cape. No confirmation from PRT for now Brocktonites. Could have just been a really murder new happy Case 53. Or a Changer I suppose.

Edit: Fixed mixed up word order (My previous comment about Edit:'s still stands :J)

Yes, the "Bloody Cape" has a kill order.
It is possible that the cape seen in the video was the Bloody Cape, but that is officially uncertain at this moment. Investigation is currently underway.

@Cyberdong
Glad to see that you have teh maturity to own your mistakes.
And yes, Winslow was that bad. I've heard rumors that the school board already wanted to demolish and rebuild Winslow, and everyone's glad that we can rebuild Winslow to be a better school.
