Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

Reader mode
I half expected Zouken to be inside of the Simulation due to technically not being human and a collection of Phantasmal Insects. Where it's a subversion of it not actually being Taylor with the FGO twins in legitimate danger for a time.
 
Happy birf.

I can't help but imagine in the future that the twins automatic reaction to a fly buzzing around them will be to finger poke of doom it with pinpoint accuracy. It's not anything conscious, it's just after so much exposure to Taylor they develop a skill that automatically makes them kill bugs.

Fair enough, but that doesn't quite answer my original question; what unique trait(s) does Rika (either now, or eventually) have to contribute to the Chaldean Master trio?

For now, she's little more than a Deadpan Snarker and likely Bro-Con who uses such to not think too deeply about the implications of the Moonlit World and/or the Incineration of Humanity, has some degree of tactical acumen (again, on-par with her twin's), got EMIYA for compatibility, but what about beyond what I listed?

Not a lot right now, but then they're both young and inexperienced. I know for a fact that the me of now has far more personality, tales to tell and genuine world knowledge than the idiot who just came out of secondary school (high school to everyone else).

If I were to come up with something on the spot, she may be the one that tries to bring the cast back to humanity rather than some of the absurd attitudes that crop up amongst heroes.

As my mother can attest from watching the original Alien movie, just because you're not in any danger doesn't mean it can't be a completely traumatizing experience.

Meaning, yes, I knew the Gudas aren't in any real danger. That didn't detract from the house of horrors aesthetic, nor the knowledge that the twins are going to rack up all the therapy hours when this is over.
 
From my understanding from the comments its your birthday so happy birthday. I will be mildy disappointed if this doesn't come back to bite Taylor I butt at some point.
 
Say, quick question.

I know that Skitter, Weaver, and Kephri cannot be summoned as heroic spirits due to reasons.

but

Can the three summon anyone else from Bet?
Sorry if this question has been asked before
Also, good story

It had me kinda laughing in the back of my head the whole time. Somebody said that the Gudas had "been Skittered," but that's the funniest part because they weren't. They were hammed on by Taylor using a fraction of her power. Everybody that has ever read Worm up to the Weaver arc has a good idea of the terror that Skitter really delivers.
 
Well, I have a question, I hope someone can answer me.

Let's see, Taylor has recovered her powers because in the first singularity she invoked the Administrator Queen, but my question is: QA has been invoked as a Noble Phantasm loose from Servant! Taylor, did she join her because she was the same person or did she been summoned as a servant?

If she is like a servant, does she have her own NP?


Sorry if someone has already asked this question.


P.D: Sorry for the spelling and grammar, I write this with a translator.
 
Oh god, I just realized. Ritsuka summoned Shakespeare just after Orleans… and in London, guess who shows up as a Rogue Servant?

It's not that they can't be summoned, they Just won't be summoned, the author has said that he's not gonna include them, and that's about it.

In theory, sure
the fact that Olga could have summoned Taylor as a Heroic Spirit proves that

the problem that comes up against is the bar set by the Throne of Heroes

it isn't a question of 'can they summon someone from Earth Bet?', it's a question of 'did anyone on Earth Bet aside from Taylor Hebert achieve so much as to be worth the Throne of Heroes' attention?'

if someone else on Earth Bet has achieved great things such that for generations afterwards people will remember their names, then the answer is probably yes.
but how many people- hero or villain- performed deeds on the level that she did?
 
Now that we've seen the training from the twin's perspective, I'm trying to analyze Taylor's actions from it.

The first idea I had is that, when Taylor chimed in with the intercoms in the side rooms, she would've heard them talking about which rooms to avoid.

If that's the case, did she give hints not of what rooms were trapped, but which were safe? Was reverse psychology in play, or is Taylor playing it straight for this first incursion?

I kinda want next time for Taylor use clearly marked fuel can, and then make her iconic "Invertebrates with burning matches" trick. (Can contains water, of course, i doubt burned alive is a thing the wants to do even in simulator. But tell twins treat as actual fuel)

You know that meme of the crab holding a knife? Switch it with a lit match.
"Lets see how you like being served with lemon and butter sauce!"
 
I admit, I was expecting a lot more physical traps, like those she set up years ago in her meeting with Accord and the Butcher. Pitfalls, tripwires, swinging heavy objects. Nothing too traumatizing and brutal, but still things that take advantage of damage in the simulator not being damage in real life.

Her going for psychological warfare instead is very interesting. I'm wondering if it was intended as practice for herself as well: She's in a world now where pretty much all the important combatants are as untouchable to her as Scion was. If she's going to contribute to fights against servants in any direct way, physical attacks are off the table, and distraction and misdirection only go so far. Psychological attacks, on the other hand, even if they aren't backed by power capable of doing actual damage, have a certain degree of promise. After all, most servants are still just very powerful people, if typically more mentally resilient ones than most.

Side note:

Rika didn't know if all of those things were set up, but Senpai seemed like the kind of stickler for details who went the extra mile, so she wouldn't have been surprised if they tried to look inside one of the buildings and found signs that somebody had been there. It would definitely upgrade the creepiness factor from "pictures of Chernobyl" to "professional horror movie."

Taylor: "I could have gone with Brockon Bay, but that's probably a bit much, and it would give me an unwarranted home-field advantage. I'm sure they'll find Fuyuki more reassuring. And I'll leave the civilians out to make it simpler for them."
Rika: "This empty city is horrifying. She went out of her way to make this like a horror movie, didn't she."
