Hey, live and learn right? Honestly, the only reason it's a problem now is due to the sheer number of options we have.
Fate/In Glory Of (Worm)
- Thread starter Jefardi
- Start date
- Crossover Modern Superhero
Kinda. My goal was to collect the write-in votes so I could post them as an actual vote across both sites. The problem is whenever I ask for suggestions, I get one person posting something and a bunch of people voting for it. The vast majority of the options still ended up being something I came up just to have some variety.

Yeah, this is why I don't run quests, no idea what to do here lol. Good Luck
Combinations can be a bitch to count.

I can't beat the demon lord help-
[x] Attack Kage before she gets to the store
I wanna prioritize Miss Yatimata but other ABB will probably just come back full force when we beat up Kage.

I figure we may as well go all out since Kage seems like a pretty horrid person, all things considered. Maybe capture is a better long term option, but Taylor is a nobody, and I don't trust a nobody to do complicated well....yet.

NEW VOTE - Arche 02.14.02 & 02.14.03 Addendum
Right.
Normally I wouldn't be doing this.
I'm realizing in hindsight that what I meant when I gave the vote options in 02.14.02 were rather unclear;
[] Answer honestly
Meant that Taylor was going to respond to Kage.
[] Answer honestly
- [] Prepare for combat afterwards
Respond to Kage and after extracting herself from the situation, sic the giant on Kage.
[] Back away slowly – prepare for combat
GTFO and send in giant immediately.
[] Back away slowly – prepare for combat
- [] Don't prepare for combat, leave
GTFO and go home, leaving whatever was going on up to RNG.
I... kind of assumed it was implicit that in all of these situations, Taylor would use her power immediately if it came down to it, defensively. Which is why I'm realizing that the Answer Honestly & Prepare for combat afterwards probably came off as more of a defensive option than an offensive one which it was meant to be.
The thing is, Answer honestly chapter has been posted. That can't be walked back. But the prepare for combat afterwards section has not. I was also trying to get multiple write-ins from both SB and SV in a collected format to post them as multiple options concurrently on both sites. This has just been a complete mess and I'll be trying something different in the future when it comes to combat.
So.
I'm going to offer a revote on whether or not to send the giant after Kage now.
There are consequences for each options. Choose wisely.
[] Send the giant.
[] Go home.

[X] Send the giant.
Kage's act of kindness does not erase the crimes she has committed nor the extortion she is currently committing. Send in Berserker, drive them off or capture them, and make sure the civilians are safe.

Edit: It isn't a good idea to return hospitality with violence. It never ends well.

And so we make our debut.

Arche 02.14.04
[X] Send the Giant
Something pierced through the red haze.
Commands that the girl gave.
"Capture Kage."
It didn't know what a 'Kage' was, but the girl had gone on to describe the assassin that had been nearby only a few moments ago. There was a follow up to that, something about a 'police station' and a 'PRT'. Both were names it didn't know.
"Don't kill."
Arguably harder, but the shadow would try.
"Protect bystanders."
The shadow didn't know how to protect. Only to eliminate threats. Same difference?
"Don't destroy any cars, buildings, or public property."
It understood what buildings were and public property, such as the hermes or the temples, although it had yet to see any in the steel city. It also didn't know what a car was.
The final command was simple. If the device that the girl had attached to its waist made a sound, it should return to her.
Simple enough.
The remnant of a greater whole appeared a few arm spans from the woman after receiving its orders.
As if she could sense his presence, she turned, drawing her sword with nary a rasp of steel on leather as she did so.
"...You are in the territory of the ABB. Identify yourself." She ordered, tone stern as she pointed her curved blade at him.
"░░░▒▒▒▒▓▓▓███████████████▓▓▒░!"
Debris on the ground flew past the assassin, overfilled trash bags and boxes split in the air as they were picked up.
The shadow moved.
The ground gave way underfoot, crackling with a single step before shattering under the next, as it was now within arms reach.
A hand the size of the assassin's torso reached out.
By the barest of margins, the assassin bent backwards and disappeared.
It stared at the spot it had been at before it was forced to give up as it couldn't find where it's target had gone and it disappeared in a cascading of light motes.
Like a leaf on the wind, the assassin reappeared just as the giant went to turn back towards the girl.
It wouldn't make the same mistake again.
The hundred yards separating them was covered in fractions of a second, a hand clamping around her.
She would not be escaping.
The girl had ordered it so.
A soft gasp escaped the figure, one of their arms not caught by the giant's hand grabbed the blade at her hips and drew it across the giant's forearm in a clear attempt to slice herself free.
An instinct to release her was smothered for it would go against what the girl said.
With a wet thud, the shadow's hand hit the ground, ichor and sinew cut cleanly enough that it showed the strike's superhuman nature shining through.
The assassin had disappeared before the hand had even hit the ground.
Red-blue life force flowed out, covering the detached hand as it slowly dissipated.
It could not kill.
That order grated, yet it obeyed even as the sanguine haze thickene-
The device on its waist crackled.
It glanced down at it before looking around for the assassin.
Happenstance would not save the assassin again.
Within a span of a few blinks, there was no evidence it had ever been there besides the damaged road.
Taylor was not having a good time.
She had very, VERY nearly lost her nerve. A single act of kindness affected her more than she really wanted to admit.
She had also set off her power on Kage and then promptly realized it would look incredibly suspicious if she stuck around the area. People had fled when they saw the cape walking her to the bus stop, so there wasn't a great deal of an advantage in trying to hide in a crowd.
Then a few minutes ago, she had felt… something.
It wasn't pain.
Very specifically it wasn't pain.
Rather, it was a feeling like a fifth limb was tired. She knew with a hundred percent certainty that it wasn't the time on how long her power could be used running out… it was something else.
Naturally, she had signaled for the giant to return to her, which it had. Now all that was left was the long ride home.
She made an unhappy noise as she shifted in her bus seat, looking out the window.
There was a soft thud in the isle, and in the dim reflection of the window Kage stood there, her sword drawn.
An ice-pick of fear slid into her heart as cold metal tapped against her cheek.
"Child." Kage simply spoke, placing the blunt side of her blade's tip against Taylor's chin, slowly making her look towards the ABB's second in command.
Yet, even as her body went to stiff with fear, another emotion bubbled forth.
Rage. Wroth. Fury.
She could feel them. Barely.
The giant was looming behind Kage, sword in hand.
Violence condensed into a physical form ready.
Awaiting permission.

[] No

If Taylor had to guess, probably due to tinkertech.
Currently the vote is 10 to 9 for violence. Far more even split than I expected.

NO! No! This is a horrible time to chose violence! If Kage lives then its guaranteed that the Abb learns Taylor is a parahuman and Lung doesn't care about the rules!
If Kage dies the Empire will push and the Abb will respond aggressively! Nevermind how Taylor might feel!
