Write them omake ideas down first because It'll only be in your mind for so long. Contemplate if you wish to keep them or not. They might not even be spoilers later depending on how the story progress and how we voted things (and how TayVoid continues to troll the dices)
I meant character Spoilers. Essentially, it would spill the core of their philosophy, something that I do want to examine in Story first. Actually, that is probably the core theme of the current Arc. Taylor being confronted with different Philosophies and value systems.
I am conflicted in this case, because I have this idea. I am 90% sure people won´t go for the character that is involved because of an understandable dislike, one that I am fairly sure would be overcome if I wrote this piece . However, I do question if it is worth it if the impact of the revelation of the core motivation is missing later on.
Is it... Otto... -hssssssssss- Put a bolter in his head! Burn the corpse to ashes! Then salt the ash!
Jokes aside, in the case that it'll spoil character development it is probably not worth the reveal. Not yet. So either put it aside until it is relevant again or completely discard it. It is ultimately up to you of course what you want to do. I'm not in your head so i'm not privy to just how important this is or isn't.
Or put it into an interludes if you're up to those. Side story?
Edit: i keep thinking about it and i feel like i'm not quite hitting the issue on the nail. Are we talking about actual plot ideas or potential ideas?
More seriously, it is more that the Scene as envisioned just hits the point home really well…. and I figured I will just post it once I have written it, Even if the scene doesn't happen as it is, I still think it will be an interesting read to some.
Update on that. While I have some sections of that done, it will take because it deals with some issues Ì have... personal experience with. So, please bear with me if it takes longer than the next update.
Taylor awoke with a groan, her body feeling stiff and her head throbbing slightly. Probably because the voices in her head had driven her up the walls all evening yesterday.
{Look, you are unfair to her. She wasn´t even real! She was made by you on the spot!}
{That doesn´t excuse it. She made an oath, and that even a shade of her is willing to break it, shows me that she is not to be trusted.}
Eight. Full. Hours of this.
{Both of you, shut the hell up. We will deal with Sirin´s girlfriend later. It is why we left her in the Imaginary Space, along with her not having the most sensible clothes.}
{They fit her perfectly, but otherwise, I do agree with Taylor.} Why did she sound so defensive ?
{Kinda expected you to deny that she is your Girlfriend.}
{She is the closest I have come to an acceptable partner, besides, we went to the Moon together. That is far more romantic than anything you ever did for your´s, no ?~}
{..LISTE-}
{SHUT. IT! We have stuff to do, and only so much sunlight. How about we go collect the stuff for the Generator while I go around clearing my head? Where do we start with that?}
She asked as she blinked into the Kitchen, looking at the clock, which signaled that it was already 10 am, and quickly began making herself toast and tea. She used to drink coffee, but after Sirin threw a fit about it, she switched to tea, which much to her pleasure and surprise, worked just as well for her. Kiana had advocated for energy drinks and soda, but was quickly silenced by both of them.
{Well, unless you are holding out on us in terms of resources, we need to start small. There are a few things that will be difficult to acquire. For now, let's go shopping in the electronics shop. I trust you have one in this hopeless wreck of a city ?}
{Hey! I have seen worse!}
{Dear, you caused -}
{Stop. We will go to the shop, and on the way there, we are going to talk about the things I deem worthy talking about. Otherwise, both of you are in time out!}
Enjoying the blessed silence, Taylor enjoyed her freshly made Sandwich and Tea, before frowning at the empty freezer. She would need to make a trip to the supermarkt when she came back. Still, she had enough time to respond to that one comment she saw.

@ReignOfWest thank you for your truly insightful comment
@ReignOfWest Apologies if I don´t trust your Expertise on what is Girly and what is not. I do doubt you have any experience with any girl of any age.
That being said...
The sad kind. The really pathetic kind.

@TheRealAbyssFlower I am still torn between thinking that PR would love you or loathe your entire existence as much as they loathe Clockblocker´s.
We Are Back In Time!
Taking a running leap off the roof, Taylor tugged her legs in, prepared to roll the impact force off under Kiana´s guidance.
Stretch out the legs, slightly bent.
Have the hips pushed back, then when you hit the ground, don´t just take the impact into your knees, but channel it into a roll.
Simple enough, especially if you really didn't need to mind for injuries for the most part. It was far more about optimizing for efficiency.
{So, you sounded like you had something on your mind?}
Next, she jumped across the street, catching a lamp post before sliding it down, taking a moment to respond.
{For one, Sophia.}
{I mean, she is nice to look at ? Joking. What got you concerned ?}
Beginning to run towards the shop, returning the greetings of random passersby with a cheerful grin, while she replied.
{Well, her entire behavior was off. I know her as someone who can't stand not doing anything. I would almost describe her as high strung, constantly watching for and seeking out conflict. Yet, instead of taking shots at me, even insulting me, she was quiet.. I mean, for Christ's sake, she complimented me, or acknowledged me, or whatever.}
{If we are to presume that she is indeed a parahuman, something we could know if somebody checked, I can give a guess about her psychology. Humans are, typically, high strung if they are in emotional distress, be it anger, pain or fear. Based on your memories and observations in the past, I would venture the guess that in her case, her anger is her reaction to the fear caused by whatever Trauma she has. The moment she is not focusing on the rage itself, either by acting on it or being distracted from it by someone who engages with her, she most likely feely joy at it.}
There was a pause before she amended {Well, not Joy, but relief ? You know what I mean.}
{ She noted to you that she is not feeling angry, meaning that at the moment, she has been basically having … well, not more joy, but consistent joy, something she might have had very little exposure to before. She is basically high on being able to live a life. As for the reason for the change, again, this is entirely based on the assumption that she is a parahuman with an active shard… we might have something to do with it. She would have been the closest to us, and the only one who witnessed me when I took control. Might have garnered enough interest that it changed parameters.}
Taylor did not expect such a detailed response, nearly missing a step, but that didn´t keep her from noticing the accusatory tone in Sirin´s voice.
{Why do you want me to ally with a Parahuman so much ?!}
Surprisingly, it wasn´t Sirin who responded.
{Because we lack information about Parahuman. Simple as that. Yes, we have general information, but there is tons of information we could get from a simple examination of one. As for the power, which I am sure you were going to ask for next, Sirin meant for her to become well… a hybrid or a Valkyrie. Something that was done in our world, and provided a significant boost of power. It would be interesting to see how the Shards and Honkai interact, especially since we would have a far easier time actually creating them, being agents of the Will this time, instead of fighting it.}
Jumping on top of a bus driving by, waving to the people inside with a wink to calm them down, she nodded to herself before frowning.
{You could give me that info a bit earlier next time!}
{Would have changed your opinion ?}
{No, I guess, but still!}
{Be it as it may be, we still need to talk about how we are going to acquire the rarer parts we need to make the Generator functional. We could naturally try to acquire them from an existing Nuclear Reactor, the parts are similar enough, but I don´t think that it would be easy to do, much less cover up. Black Market is an option.}
Yeah… no, she wasn´t going to steal a nuclear reactor. She was confident, but not that overconfident. She could maybe deal with Brockton´s Heroes and Villains, piece by piece, but fighting Legend or Alexandria seemed just… out of her league. At the moment at least.
{An option we could have is to contact the PRT or maybe that one Tinker… Dragon? We could offer some technologies that are far ahead of this age that don´t require Honkai to work.}
{That would however put us under the view of either the Government or the Guild.}
Taylor snorted slightly at how Sirin made the Government sound like some kind of gang.
{We can´t really go down the route of the Black Market though. We kinda lack money. Actually, Taylor, do you have a mobile?}
Taylor tried to sound resolute in her decision as she jumped off the bus and began climbing up a building, using the fire escape to ascend rapidly.
(Encounter yes/no? D20…13, yes)
(Encounter roll d7… 7, Oni Lee)
{Not really- oh, fuck my life!}
Just a few feet away from her, leaning over the edge, not looking at her, stood a man dressed in a black bodysuit with, so she knew, belt and bandoleer of knives and grenades on it, and a demonic mask with leering, fanged, ear-to-ear grin.
{What should I do ?!}
{You have the drop on him. Teleport, knock out, call in, move on. }
{We don´t have trouble with him. Maybe just say hi, clarify that you don't want to fight and move on.}
{Neither would be in character for Abyss Flower though..}
Parahuman powers act through the portals in their heads (corona is specifically mentioned to be a portal) - if things get dangerous, nothing stops Sirin from just shutting down the connection.

It is technically in her capability, but it is not really a combat effective move. Sure, she can shut down powers, but she would need to focus on keeping it closed and actively push against a Shard.
I don't know if the information that Lee's powers screwed up with his personality and canon or fandon but if it's canon then following the kiana route will only make the taylor/sirin option pop.
