[X]Play into the Stereotypes - Playing into her wanting to establish a playful persona. It also should help separate Taylor from AF since she doesn't wear a mask. Ham it up i say. It will maybe help her compartmentalize just how nuts the internet can get...
 
Finally getting around to responding in a more proper manner.

I really do like the game-like presentation, like the map and the sword. The dices in the middle of the scenes takes me a bit out of the story, but it works if you want it to feel like a classic rpg.

Would it help if they were formatted off to the side like this ?
(Taylor roll d20...20)
Alternatively, I could try and see how it looks if I put it into a Log format at the end of the post.
...I'm going to assume it's going to be those flying mobs that barely resemble birds. I don't know any "lesser" beasts than those. Makes me curious if she'll eventually manage to pull out larger ones up to Benares' level.

Not quite yet able to summon forth Seraph Class Honkai beasts (which can fight B class Valks). But eventually, yes, she will be capable of summoning forth a Judgement Class Beast like Benares, Chiyou or Śeṣa.
I do have a question if we train more will low rolls (outside crit fails) be less damning also is it possible to train something (like teleportation) to a point where your rolls (maybe outside crit fails) don't matter

Pretty much. As her Prof increases, her abilities scales with her. I.e to bring up the comparison of a mugger stabbing her. Right now, she could still be hurt if he is lucky, but at a higher proficency, the question would be pointless so no roll would be made.

I like that better, myself. Sets the dice apart from the narrative while still having it there if we wanna see it.

Also, I really like the maps. I have aphantasia, which is a lack of, or decreased ability of, the 'minds eye'. I can only imagine like 3 details at a time, like round, green, and hand sized, for an apple. The map really helps me picture the fight.
 
Silly taylor you are now fated to have a harem of girls its the honkai Will lol

[X]Build Forces What is a queen without her minions

[X]Play into the Stereotypes with how she showed herself with rune and the wards you can't go professional in PHO lol

PS: Will she be able to go Flamescion? Cause you have a title for ya when she fight scion xd

Potentially, if she fully decides to follow Kiana. Flamescion and HoTE would be the two extreme Endpoints, although altogether unlikely.

As for news for the update, I was busy farming stuff to get Time breaker. It is pretty as fuck and I love it.

Still, an update will likely come today. I am also currently working on a Rune interlude, but I am not quite happy with it.

The flamescion outfit? The one people homely said she is wearing the Abyss Flower?

…Once upon a time, MHY would actually give them red cloth tickets each month. Now you have to either save up or be a whale. Meh.

I kind of wonder if you'll let TayVoid out something that fancy on in the future.

*hides their list of artists they considered for commission for when Taylor gets her own Herrscher outfit*

And yeah, it is really pretty.
 
Don't know if you played it demo. I joked about Taylor cutting the moon. That Kiana may or may not have actually broke the moon lol.
 
The Morning after
Taylor nodded to herself. She had a plan for the evening and tomorrow. Following the thread on the side, Taylor noticed that the timer was nearly ready to go off.

With a blink, she moved into the kitchen, taking the Lasagna out of the oven with a smile just as she heard the door of dad´s car slam shut. Quite a bit before his usual time, but thanks to her wicked kitchen hax, no problem!

The door opened and she greeted her father with a sudden hug, having blinked just out of sight behind the opened door.

"Hi, Dad!"

She was greeted by a tired smile, and a quick hug back, before Dad sniffed the air like a shaggy dog and he questioned with a more energetic smile "Lasagna?"

Taylor gave him a nod, before snapping her fingers. "Yup! Now go get ready. It still needs to cool a bit."

The following dinner was quiet, but it was a good kind of quiet. Previous dinners were, if they even happened, quiet as well, but the posture of them was different then, more on edge, more secrets.

Right now, they were simply two people enjoying the presence of the other. While Sirin had been apathetic if not slightly hostile towards Dad, Kiana was helping her connect better with her father, often prompting her to start their interactions.

"So, are you sure you want to do that tomorrow ? You know that it is not needed. It should not be needed." The last part nearly growled.

Taylor sighed. While her father was happy to support the investigation, he was, as any parent should be, concerned how far Taylor involved herself. But he was naturally a bit overprotective as well.

Tomorrow, she would speak about the locker and what she did after.

"I know. The officer said as much, but I want to make sure we nail them." Taylor couldn´t keep the small smile off her lips, a confident one.

Her father blinked at it, before sighing. "Okay, but I want you to promise me that you will stop if you feel unwell. Your recovery was amazingly fast, but we don´t need to risk it anymore than we have to. When do you have to be there ?"

"Around 10. You gonna drop me off ?"

"And pick you up."

"Don´t you have work ?"

"They can wait. You are more important."

Taylor had to admit, it felt nice to hear that.



Having moved to her room after the talk, it was now time to make her entry to the wonderful world of the internet.

Opening the browser, she tried to make a new account under the name of Abyss Flower only to pause.

{SON OF A WHORE!}

{Language! But also yes.}

{We should track them down and teach them..}

She stared at the offending pop up with judging eyes.

Hi there!
I am the recently debuted warrior for peace and justice! Abyss Flo-
*Sees that someone has already taken Abyss Flower*

wer…

Whoever did that will pay~

Anyhow!

The video provides a good summary of my current abilities, although I do keep some party tricks up my sleeve~

I am and will be unaligned due to multiple factors in my private life as well as Powers. However, I am heroic-cat-ly inclined~

Ask me anything, I guess?

Also, feel free to ask in the following languages: German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Filipino, Haitian, Spanish, Polish, Korean and Dutch.~

I must say, I love your outfit! Could you tell me from what kind of material it is made? Also brave of you to go out without a mask!​
It is embarrasing to ask, but would you be available for modelling ? You give me some many ideas!​
Also, the emote is very cute!​

Indeed, I am fast to arrive, but not as fast as you! I legit didn´t notice you at the battle! But you really shouldn´t get yourself into danger for a video! I am more than happy to talk.​
@Vista​
I have two very gifted friends that helped me learn them~ Although I am not all that positive inclined towards PR. It is so fake!​
@Parian​
I wouldn´t be opposed, although while I would never deny a compliment to my most blessed self... My powers make it so that I have little use for a mask.​

As Taylor left the meeting room, she briefly went over the conversation. The detective she met with was an older gentleman, who had spoken very directly with her.
The situation had rapidly developed beyond a case of assault.

{I must admit that I did not see that coming either. Humanity at it´s finest however. Always trying to prove their own importance in the most insignificant manners.}

Sirin´s assessment was correct. Most of the shebang was less about what happened to her and more a pissing contest between the different departments. Even the Superintendent got involved, along with the Hazmat guys being utterly furious with the school for trying to cover it up by bleaching the locker.

Given how she got out of the locker, the PRT decided to get involved as well, finding grounds to at least investigate in their own capacity.

The detective had noted that most of the others had at best only a technical interest, but it made the case more complicated for her as well as prolonging the case and investigation, much to the frustration of both the PRT, Police and CDC. Even the IRS got involved!

Humming slightly, she paused as something tingled her senses, just as she stood in front of the elevator that would take her out of here.

(Roll 1d6 Encounter Roll… 3. Sophia Hess)

"He-Taylor."

That fucking voice.

Taking a deep breath, desperately needing the calm to not summon forth her sword or pistol, she turned to the offender.

"Hess." She watched the brutish girl approach, then how she almost casually leaned against the wall.

"Don´t wet your pants, I am just waiting for the elevator." Taylor almost responded with her usual snark, but then she paused.

Sophia had lacked her usual sneer and contempt. Where before she spoke to her as if she was an ant to be crushed, now it was casual conversation. So, instead of responding, she hummed slightly and nodded, waiting for the elevator herself.

{That reminds me, why did you not slap Sophia ?}

{Because it wouldn´t have served a purpose beyond a bit of catharsis. From your memories, Sophia is perhaps the only one who acts consistent with the ideas she seems to possess. As for said ideas, it is simple. She believes in the combination of Power and Drive. It is likely why she is a jock. The easiest place to find people with a drive and the will to exercise their power is either high level corporations or high school sports and politics.}

{So, what, she is attracted to power? Is she on a powertrip because she is above average in terms of fitness?}

The idea of that gained a sneer from Taylor, both hoping that it was true and not.

{I do not know, much to my frustration. I don't know why she believes she has power. However, as I was going to explain before your interruption, fool, is that she is consistent and realistic with her actions. I do not believe she is deluded about her own position. This is most likely a case of being differently rational. Yes, she is cruel to you, when you were weak, because that is something her power allowed. Similarly, she did not went to defend her companions, because they were weaker than you. Not just in strength, but also personality. Well me, but they don´t know that. Who is stronger between you two is unclear, so she is cautious. I am not absolutely sure however.}

{I see… it is kind of understandable, I suppose.}

{It just came to mind… we could perhaps see if she is a parahuman. It would explain her fixation with strength and drive.}

Taylor nodded, mentally. Sirin had explained to her the nature of powers, at least to a degree. While it would be a world shattering revalation for most, it kinda felt like an another tuesday for Taylor already. But how could they check for.. oh!

{You mean we could try to sense if a cross-dimensional connection is present ?}

{Exactly. It would be an excellent test for your abilities, and, if she is, she would perhaps be the easiest to recruit.}

{Why would I want her ?} Taylor liked to think she did not sound hurt.

{Because she is perfect for it. She ultimately desires power, power we can give her. She respects drive, and we plan to eliminate the closest thing to a god since us. In addition to that, this would be the best way to redeem her. Easy picking.}

Shit, that was a good argument.

Taylor leaned back, mentally, before contemplating her options.

She could simply ignore Sophia. No risk, she wouldn't need to bother with her particular brand of crazy, and she would get her comeuppance once the investigation concluded. She would need to do literally nothing... Beyond being somewhat of a hypocrite.

On the other hand, she could follow Sirin´s advice, and perhaps end up with her for the long run.. but with the potential to help her become a better person for it.

{I have made my argument. I think ultimately, should she turn out to be of value, we stand to gain nothing by ignoring the opportunity.}

{It is your call. I do support trying helping her become a better person, but I can also understand not wanting to interact with her. I doubt she is vital enough for it to matter in the long run, atleast for our goals.}

[]Ignore her. Not worth my time.

A bit of a shorter one, but It is new years, so eh. Regardless of choice, next one will be bigger as we go into faction building. It will also get cleaned up later when I am significantly less drunk.

Son of a Whore! Sorry to whoever got mentioned! It was an accident

In a different story, I might have chosen a different option. But so far, the events in the quest have gone beyond my expectations. I really want to see how the current Taylor handles this.
 
[X]Ignore her. Not worth my time.

It's one thing to think people should be redeemed in general, but it's completely different to try to do that for someone you have such a personal and ugly history with; the whole endeavour would be unhealthy at best and completely self-destructive at worst.
 
hmmm first HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Well i feel it's weird sophia still hurt her for so long and she will immediately recruit her? tho i'm now curious how that will go!!
