Well, at least you're not suggesting Taylor take up a nice cruise trip, cause that might just end on an oddly... artistic note.gideon020 said:

...strangely enough, one of the things rape counselors do when dealing with teenagers who have just been raped is to try and get them to laugh. They kind of need to do that, as it helps open them up to talking with the counselor, and that in turn can help the police as well as the teenager/family/etc.Undead-Spaceman said:
Mind you, following the rulebook on what to do in these sort of situations doesn't help if you're not personable in the least though, at which point "Awkward" is the best case result, with anger/rage/violence being the worse case one. :shrugs:
But Taylor? She does need to laugh a moment here, even if she wants to break down crying afterwards.

Well... I don't know whether to be glad or not that Taylor still doesn't have any real social charms, as i can't get out of my head how delicious a mindcontrolled NM would be.
It also tells us that NM either vastly under-estimate Taylor's power variations ('she is just a shifter that get inspired by others') or was scrambling like mad in order to talk to her before she got too suicidal.
Now, as to the actual meeting... I am actually seeing NM playing a similar role to Coil's to the undersiders in the early Canon. I am just hoping he is smart enough to notice how thirsty she is to be an Hero, and that he throws her toward missions she could actually like (and corrupt her, of course).

What are the actual chances of him sending her to a different Earth to stop a war or something? Hide her from Earth-Bet, give her a chance to be a hero.Arkeus said:
It would still leave most of Earth-Bet pretty pissed off at her when she came back, what with murdering all those people.Yog said:

More to the point, no one will know what she did. NM might know it's her because he already knew where she was and was monitoring things happening around her, but the PRT as a whole? not a freaking chance.Night_stalker said:
You're forgetting the woman that Taylor beat on during her torment. She might have been too hurt to pay attention, but if she wasn't Taylor is kind of screwed in that regard.Arkeus said:
True, but Cauldron could play P.R. game while Taylor is away.mc2rpg said:
There's another point of dropping her into some alternative hellhole of a world where Nazis won or something - she stops interfering with Earth Bet's precogs.Indivisible said:

How would she be screwed? Taylor was unrecognizable for almost all of it, didn't use any of her known powers either. The only time she could have 'recognized' Taylor was the second she saw her through the phone light, but that was just a second or so, in the dark, when the woman was traumatized. The odds of her giving info that could lead back to Taylor are ridiculously low.Cytokinesis said:
Also, NM is tracking the info on that killing spree, and if the woman is giving too much info she'll, huh, disappear.

They WANT her. With her Precog block, the best way to loose her is to drop her in some other world. Simply put if they do that, they will have no reliable way to find her again if she vanishes. Case point is her trip to NY. Until she got busy they couldn't find her.Yog said:
Yes. An argument (from NM to Taylor):Harish said:
We are a hidden organisation who uses a powerful precog to save the world, long-term. We act covertly for safety and to make out work easier. Alexandria is the founding member of our organisation. Your powers negate precogs, sometimes world-wide. We know that you are powerful, and we think that your powers will continue to grow. We would like to offer you the following: we'll send you to a world that's at war, where you'll be he only cape and where you'll be able to do lots of good, maybe even save the world. We'll implant you with a tracker. We'll be in contact with you. When your power grows enough, or when you are needed, we'll call you back. While you are there, we'll smooth things over here and will try to make you look more heroic.
Something like that.
Give her a nazi-conquered world. With massive death and rape camps, eugenic programs, institutionalized brainwashing and all that. Hell, give her a death-world with no humans but tons of wild and dangerous animals (a worse option, but an option). A place where she can act against people / monsters without her conscience getting in the way.Indivisible said:
Hence implanted tracker, regular check-ups (which would be almost the only times she will be able to talk to people she can relate to, thus helping with her indoctrination into Cauldron's ideas), and such.Harish said:
Taylor is one of the best chances of killing the most hated Endbringer of all time. The people in charge will forgive just about anything for someone willing and able to counter the Simurgh to any degree, and normal people will love her when she fucking kills or cripples, or hell, just consistantly ruins the Simurghs plans by being Outside fate.
Any. There's at least one Act of Villainy for a Yozi who doesn't have an Urge printed at all (Szoreny).Odysseus2099 said:
Actually, that might not be right. logiccosmic is using a version of Revlid's revised torment, where you can only perform the act of villainy associated with your Torment. He hasn't remarked one way or another about multiple Acts of Villainy though.Jefepato said:
While forgetting the Chicken in a Chicken Parmesan is pretty bad there is very little that can top this screw up I had with Mcdonalds. I ordered a Quarter Pounder with just the meat and the buns (I have strange tastes). I somehow ended up with a Quarter Pounder with everything except the meat.Auks said:
