So... is she gonna get some bonus trait for music now?
Apologies! SV is kinda screwy with the alerts so I missed a few comments. As for a bonus trait for music.... Probably.

Taylor with the extreme rep gain. She could outsing Canary at this rate.
Canary: Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be LEGENDARY!
She could... but they also could sing together. Not that Canary knows of her.


Last Stardust works pretty well with the Kaslana Oath, shame she didn t sing it in japanese tho

Now that I think about it, Last Stardust is all about rekindling the original spark of heroism wonder what effect it will have on jaded Heroes if they remember why they originally became heroes, it probably won t destroy the status quo but I think with a nat20 it could shake it a bit(and I am very interested in Cauldron's reaction to this and whether it will reinforce their resolve or destroy it, I think it will destroy it in Legend's case and reinforce it for the others) i am just worried what would happen if Jack Slash hears it since it specifically says it doesn t matter if the ideals are wrong and I don t know if his obsession with "art" could be considered an "ideal", having a more proactive S9 is definitely bad

And considering the waves Taylor has been making they are definitely interested in her anyway aren t they?

Well... I ain´t planning on making a reaction focussed on a Cauldron meeting, but Legend is one of the reactions planned.

And that? That terrifies me.

At the same time, however, I am morbidly curious as to what will happen if Sirin meets some of Bonesaw's... art... and the... reaction... to it.

Any bets on the Collateral Damage? I got 4 hugs on two blocks minimum.

I am legit unsure how Sirin would react to Bonesaw. Kiana would probably have a more heavier reaction than her, but Sirin doesn´t really care too much about such things. She would still be outraged at the explaination behind it though.

My favorite part of this whole chapter is actually the Mouse interlude, I don't think I've seen such a good blend of Fanon and Canon MP before. Heck I don't think I've seen a story that uses Canon MP. I wonder if AF would inspire her to try to fix up her relationships with the other Intergral Wards if that's even possible at this point, looking forward to her story in this.

It will be one of the focuses of her story, that much I will tell. But it won´t be quick apologies and then kisses.

I didn't even realize this. Guys we need to get the Sixth Serenity outfit before we go all ham on the Empire.

Yup, there is however not only the Empire in that particular set of lines.

damn at this point the dice is becoming something else than crazy, its like something is broken

See, I thought about that, and I am currently consindering maybe switching to D100s, but I am not sure about that. I can attest that I used different dice roller for different rolls, so at least the formula bias can be disregarded.

Xasure is doing great job with treading that line between fanon and canon, paying respect to both sides. This quest definitely needs more recognition.

Thank you most kindly !

Huh, Life Will Change really takes on a new meaning on Earth Bet, doesn't it.
The lyrics, the fact AF is lesbian and the city she's in all combine to make it sound like a LGBTQ song, which is kinda cool.

It is one of the reasons why I love that song to bits for this. The other contender, beyond Life will Change, was Wildfire, which may make an later appearence.

Finally, I am getting a little worried about how much the three are interacting and liking BB.
Not a bad worrying, just, considering that there is an above than average chance of Leviathan interrupting I am really scarified of what would happen to levi and AF should that occur.
Because seriously, she might have only the Gem of the Void, so not comparable to Sirin or Flamescion yet, but she has both kiana and sirin on her side. I am not really looking forward to reenacting the 2nd impact on Bet
By the time Levi arrives she should have a decent MP pool and good enough control over her powers, and even if she doesn't Sirin is right there, that she could no sell Levi. Time Stop and then a couple of subspace lances through his Core and he is gone. The Void is like the worst match up for the Entities. I would be more worried had we chosen someone else.

I am more on Axel´s side here, I will note. At least from a narrative perspective, the Endbringers will be a significant threat still. The reason as to why has been alluded to, and will be expanded upon probably soon... if I don´t get caught up writing cute romance or singing again.

Writ Jack Slash: Pretty sure that Jack's shard will be screaming at him to stay away from BB given how Thinker shards BSOD when they try to comprehend Taylor/Abyss Flower.

It is kinda weird because Taylor is like the light to moths (Insect pun, yes ). Very fucking enticing, very fucking dangerous.

Are we going to see a Paimon_Emergency_Food at some point?

Probably!

Shall we preform Blacksmithery?
There is a thread for that, I believe! @CorEagle Your help is needed.

I have been summoned!

Correct! PHO Blacksmithery - Herrscher is here, so @Xasure Higeki you can use this!

PHO format is acceptable! The intent was not to have it solely limited to it, but it is also not exclusive towards it! If you think you can do it better within the PHO format, I am more than happy to have it and help!

The reaction interlude is intended to be somewhat of a community thing, especially since we are likely to reach 100k with the next bit.

o_O

Not one roll under 50. Only one roll under 70. What the hell are your dice-

Sadists.
 
What was the alluded reason. I honestly don't remember it.


"It gained a lot of information. It gave them a fairly average threat level, all things considered, but that was under the provision that we strike fast and hard. Which we can´t do. It confirmed that they generate an alien space to manifest these powers, and while many try to obey the laws of physics as established inside this universe, they really don´t care too much."


I would definitely help with posting the relevant information and making a proper post in the Blacksmithery as long as you give me details. And advertise it in your server so that many people would participate in it.

Well, I can copy out the sections that were uploaded to PHO if that helps ? I will be busy running a Pathfinder game, so doing a breakdown might take some more time. And naturally I will advertise such things.
 
I wonder what this fic would have been like if Taylor had a Herrscher style Trigger, destroyed Brockton Bay and transformed the citizens into zombies, she would be another Nilbog who emits some kind of radiation that transforms anyone in her monsters, machines included, that would at least snap Zion out of his depression as he would have a goal to fullfil since he is the Warrior, and Honkai energy could be very interesting to him although I dunno what the effects would be or if it can corrupt Shards through parahumans(I think it s possible with Sirin's power but dunno how it would work passively)

I thought since Shards don t have emotions they can t become Herrschers but what about Scion he has human emotions and I think someone taunting him with Eden's corpse would be enough for him to become a Herrscher(heh the origin of parahumans triggering)

Btw what s the Honkai goal here since they get stronger with tech depending on if they are fighting Humanity or the Entities their powers would be completely different

Dragon as the Herrscher of Corruption would be interesting as she could probably pull off the same thing Rin did in the PE if not worse(similar stories, with them being judged on what they are rather than their actions)
 
Ah so we can't escalate more gently. We must gather our power pretend to be a cute little mortal until we can go from zero to a hundred real fast. Until we can show the world what Sirin's Befall looks like.

The will has two very specific goals here. Their usual scaling doesn´t quite apply in this situation, but it has something it wants to test for. It is also a salty bitch towards the Entities

Why? Did they manage to beat it? No wait I don t know much about honkai but I was told it maintains some kind of balance, do the Entities interfere with it by destroying species?

Hmm, essentially, it holds that the Entities are of another world, and thus agent of another Will. Said Will is interferring with Her/Its Experiments.

Honestly, you could probably compare it to two branches of a government fucking with each other. Not entirely accurate, since they are part of the same higher entity, but it get´s the point across.

Or in other words the CIA hates the FBI

Basically two kids and one toy kind of scenario lol
 
Tsun/Yandere Will of the Honkai?
What it feels for Humanity is the farthest thing from love. It's a mixture of hate and apathy. It doesn't care how many die so long as the experiment reaches completion, doesn't care beyond how we service that goal. At the same time it hates Humanities vices and deficiencies. Think Sirin's perspective but much more apathetic.

Ehhh, I don't think Honkai capable of "hate". Apathy is the closest thing to it as calling Honkai hate humanity is like calling Tsunami to be Tsun toward beach people.

Think of Honkai like a twisted version of Counter Force I suppose.
 
It does, at times, feels like some part of it actively hates, especially when it is being presented in a more personified version. But yeah it's mostly just apathy with a side dish of disdain.

:lol: I see what you did there

Loss of who she was… was a horrifying thought, yet enticing in a way.
Headpats. All the headpats

Mouse Protector, real name Fiona Kassidy, although most did not think it fit her for some reason, crouched on top of the roof of the Ashtyns, swaying back and forward.
The Mouse is in the house!
And I love your characterization of her

(Kiana rolls to Perform! D20+1… 21(20), Unbelievable Success,
Kiana continues to Kiana

She is an idol… I am starting to rationalize this bullshit.
:lol::rofl::lol:

She made to sit down, much to the surprise of the audience, before seemingly sitting on thin air.
The Queen always has a throne availible

(Taylor rolls to Perform! D20+1… 21(20), Unbelievable Success
And Taylor continues to Taylor

I will justify this with Kiana backing her up
:lol::rofl::lol:

(Reputation Roll! 10d100…91+86+80+92+84+85+62+95+80+87 = 842… fucking damit taylor)
*cackles*

All in all a beautiful chapter...
Also good god I love your song choices and how well you twine them into the story...

It just the mouth parts (Herrscher) and its methods by way of manipulation really. After all, if it actually hate, we won't see much of Bubbles left on the Tree as it will not use any kid's glove or play with the rules lol
 
Part 3 of 4! We are almost done for "the day"! Fun was had, so it's time to dissect it.
PrinzessinDerFreundschaft
Not gonna lie, i nearly went combing the last chapter to check for anyone that's "suitably dramatic" for our Princess. Seriously, where's our Amy Fish?
► Soul_WaveReplied on January 31, 2011:Is abyss flower alright mentally because she seems to switch on a dime?
Taytay: i'm not crazy.
Kiana: Says the girl with voices in her head.
Sirin: You can't talk. I was there in YOUR head.
Kiana: I know. Thus i can safely say that Taylor isn't crazy. She's just a bit nuts.
Sirin: Ah, very true.
Taytay: ...Whose side are you guys on?
PS: Show this message to someone, and you will regret it.
Unnecessary threat. Besides Taylor won't ever do that... i think. It does help portray how strung up she is i suppose.
she is not some kind of invulnerable god
Gods die and can be killed. They just tend to bring down a lot of power to prevent their own death while the God Slayers are often left to pick up the pieces. If the pieces can be picked up anyway.

Just ask Kratos.
Atherius_traveler and Luminous_Traveler
...Really?

On a more serious note, are they really there in earlier chapters?
(Reputation Roll! 10d100…91+86+80+92+84+85+62+95+80+87 = 842… fucking damit taylor)
The Dice will have its dues. You also really shouldn't be expecting anything else from how much Protagonist Powah is crammed into TayVoid.

Oh, she is there alright. She just knows how to respect the drama of another.

While true, we are talking about "I will give you Cancer" Amy here. Making threats, especially towards a person she doesn´t quite (yet) likes... That being said, I didn´t add it solely for the comedic value. There is intent behind it for if they actually have that talk.

All in all a beautiful chapter...
Also good god I love your song choices and how well you twine them into the story...

That was one of my big desires to not only convey the experience of music, but to also tell a story and their importance through them, so if I managed that, I am quite happy!
 
Hey OP just a small question but can we get an ETA on how long it'll take to get Rune out of the Empire and give her the surgery? Like the discussion b/w the three is a bit conflicting. First it's about how Tay needs training then Sirin tells her she can just do it herself and they need not waste time and then Kiana drags it over to Coil and Tats' request.
 
Are we going to see a Paimon_Emergency_Food at some point?
I personally think it should be Ehe_nandayo... Or maybe Floating_Food_Connoisseur. Can't use Floating_Advisor since a certain blue fairy of "Hey Listen" would take offense. Floating_Guidance?
I am legit unsure how Sirin would react to Bonesaw.
Sirin: Just another reason why Humanity needs to be cleansed.
Oh, she is there alright. She just knows how to respect the drama of another.
I'll seriously flip if it's MP we're talking about... Except she only just arrived recently so maybe not.
