Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

Reader mode
Does anyone else get the feeling that Hektor managed to do it again in reverse this time by being such a standout that they completely ignored Medea Lily and the demon god pillar?
 
So I have two...completely unrelated thoughts

First, i know they're worried in-universe about summoning Jalter but I think it'd be really funny if we got the following sequence:
Jalter: *is summoned*
Jalter: What?
Taylor: do you see that ship over there *points at the Argo, with all the Servants on-board*
Jalter: Yeah?
Taylor: I don't want to
Jalter: ...
Taylor: ...
Jalter: *grins* you know what Master? I think we're gonna get along just fine!



Second is more related to London, because if there is any figure I feel Taylor should know, understand, and respect/get along with it should probably be Frankenstein. That said, going off the fact that she canonically never had a name, doesn't like being referred or appended to by her creator's name, and Taylor's slip with Asterios here I figure she might actually think to ask what she herself wants to be called.
which is why i'm now sitting here wondering what that might be. her common nickname is 'Fran' but that kind of just feeds into her annoyance...the Monster in most modern adaptations usually goes by Adam, so maybe Eve? I don't know, what do you cats think?

Once Caenis is down, we'll put on a show of attempting to kill Herakles and take as many of his lives as we feasibly can, and if we don't manage to take them all, we'll perform a fighting retreat and lure him towards the Ark. Even if it doesn't kill him outright, it should still drain him dry of any energy, and then it won't matter how many lives he has left."

I'm thinking, if they can separate Hercales and Jason _enough_, it does not matter if Herc is dead or not - it was original plan, in fact. Separate Jason from protectors and kill him - Grail War classic.
Also, Jason is THE guile hero, if Caenis suddenly assassinated (and he knows it's possibly, if remote) he is gonna pull something, witch is not acknowledged possibility.
 
question, how does the Morgan and Friends know exactly how heracles' god hand np works? they didn't exactly know jason had summoned heracles and while atalanta probably would know how it works since she worked with him in life and thus saw it in action, i can't imagine the others would, or that Atalanta would tell them about how Heracles might end up as a servant before they actually know he's an enemy, having summoned david and hippolyta makes it clear jason is not limited to the argonauts so she'd have little reason to think name them specifically. not even Hippolyta would know since she only met him while he was mid doing the labors, and only after completing them did he get access to it.

you wrote 'once' instead of 'one'

Herakles gets sacrificed to the arc.
World ends because he's technically divine too.

being a divine spirit and being a spirit with divinity are seperate things, one is being a god, the other includes being a demigod, alas this is heracles summoned as his demigod self

Also... Does is Taylor herself not carrying a god killer as well? Or were is her knife?

Something important to note is that while a ton on people proclaim scion as a god and thus Taylor a god slayer while he is strong enough to be called a god or close enough to not matter he actually isn't one. This is doubly the case in crosssovers like this where divinity is an actual thing that can be measured and has ranks which scion does not have any of. The knife also won't work because it was made a np by Shakespeare's skill which can't produce anything above C rank and to work on Herk it needs to be at least A rank.

a) Greek gods are alien robots, Aztec ones are alien viruses. Scion are no worse in this regard.
b) Theoretical Servant Khepri has part of her legend killing entity that majority of people would consider a god, therefore she is a god-killer. Perception of the legend matters more than actual events. At worst she would have something like God-killer (false).

Iirc Fran can't talk as a Berserker because of something Viktor did, so it would have to ne the later.

The Madness Enhacement makes it harder but she can still talk, albeit awkwardly, as Berserker (though it is apparently a lot easier as a Saber), she just finds it tiring and mostly doesn't feel like bothering unless it's something really important. Note that her grunts are comprehensible to people like Mash and Mordred.

Fran Interlude:
Fran: Shut...up. Talking...is...tiring. But... I'll...say...this. Father. Little Sister. You...ended...long ago. I...find...my...own...husband. I...pick...my...own...name.

Also in that interlude Viktor's Fran Mk2 is named Eve so probably would avoid that name. Maybe there's a Paradise Lost name she could take, given Fran's (likely- it isn't clear just how Fran's backstory follows Frankenstein's story) connection to that book.

Problem she is not servant Khepri she is Taylor with Bug Powers so no conceptual bonuses

She might also be a Demi-Servant of herself, due to the first "failed'" summoning in Fuyuki.

Eh, just ask her what name she wants? The novel version is smart enough to pick a name and even the movie one could talk. At worst they can suggest names until she picks one she likes?

The novel one is nameless, as is the one in the famous Boris Karloff film.

A fair point, but it's important to remember that belief is a big component of Divinity by Nasu-verse rules, and anything that could be classified as a Foreigner provides its own classification of bullshit. Scion, iirc, was worshipped as a god by a small but noticeable portion of the population, and his attempt to eradicate humanity probably lines up with enough examples of religious Armageddon to bridge the gap into at least E-Rank Divinity were to somehow be summoned I to the Nasu-verse. Add onto that the fact that Scion was an entirely alien existence and that brings that pesky Existence Outside the Domain into effect.
As is, as Olga said earlier, as a living human, Taylor doesn't get access to any conceptual advantages on her own. I don't know if QA as an Outer Being of her own can bridge the gap to allow Taylor to recreate some of her feats in circumstances where it ABSOLUTELY should not work, but I guess we'll as Taylor has never been content to work from the backlines.
Side note, as a prediction, I'm guessing that Taylor's gonna see if she can repeat her Alexandria performance.
 
I'm mildly disappointed at the lack of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" references, but Rika's still morose at losing Emiya, so it's understandable.

The greek gods may be robots but they still had divine cores and then fully became divine spirits after they died facing the white titan. Theoretical servant Taylor has the issues where if she'd actually qualify as a servant is highly debatable especially in what form she'd take but rather than going into that again remember what was recently said as a living human you don't get conceptual advantage. Additionally you'd have the issue where scion was most widely known in verse as the golden man and the first cape.
 
Speaking of "Fran", will she get pseudo-adopted by Moriarty like canon/side-canons imply... and will she have all of those interactions the promo video have her have with Mordred (seriously, the moment in the Fifth Year Anniversary Video where Mordred dressed as a butler stops Fran-as-a-barmaid from hitting the ground spawned so much shipping sparks that it made me a FranXMordred Shipper)?

keep in mind, this is post gold morning, so he's also known as the ender of worlds and stuff he was acting like an angry god or something to most people
