Addy: it's not arrogance if I am always right.
I want a refund! (Tinker of Fiction Semi-SI)

This reminds me of the Jaune from The Games We Play.
He said, the thing he will miss most about being a mysterious figure of legend was not having to explain himself when doing impossible stuff; like what is he a normal person!?
When he did things as Jaune everyone always asks endless questions.
Addy is going to be very upset when her ice cream time gets interrupted by people putting Missy in M/S screening. Or people screaming.
One of the two.
Probably both, really.
Also, poor Vista? At least she's getting a hug.
Could do with a more understanding hugger, but at least Addy understands that she needed a hug. That's... something. Low bar, but something.

Really not the right thing to say when you want her to keep quiet about the bringing back the dead thing.
God I love addy she's a tiny ball of insanity that this world needs to not be a complete shit hole. I need the interledues of everyone to this especially the caldron trio. I also love that they can't disappear her either as she is the only one who can actually stop and capture the end bringers.

... I mean, she is the greatest tinker since Hero, enabled the defenders to nearly kill an Endbringer, and just saved the planet by stopping them from killing the Endbringer, and did it by capturing said Endbringer in a bottle.
Did I mention her mad tinker power trumps Endbringer bullshit?
Because that makes the bar for "arrogance" rather than "justified pride" rather... high.
Then she would be stuck reviving everybody, even jerks, forever, and they would never get to that ice cream party.

Yeah,that's gonna be really hilarious that she hasn't bothered to tell anyone outside her immediate family about the revival chambers. Prepare for alot more government stupidity. Wondering how long it will take her to point out that given about 8 months she could probally duplicate earth bet just to bluescreen everyone.

They are going to come to the obvious conclusion that her thinker powers don't work on/around Eidolon.

And yet she still manages to clear it.
Eh, Addy isn't really arrogant. More like terminally insane? Unable to comprehend the society mores that don't involve hugs or tentacles. Yeah, that's pretty accurate, IMO.
I wonder if addie will tell the other wards that she's died 3 times? Missy is definitely gonna need ice cream, and I hope addie and the rest of the wards will be next to her at the time.
Edit
Does addie know where her bodies are? If so then will she give herself a viking funeral?

Technically, she is MAD, not insane. She is very... Girl Genius Spark level MAD!
She is a grown woman who was thrown into a fictional world, installed with an INCREDIBLY POWERFUL Shard that has dramatic capabilities and intellect and influence on its host... and also put into the body of a 12 year old child whose mind is so utterly alien from the adult one she was in that the sudden influx of hormones, stronger emotions, and more were utterly overwhelming.
Basically, Addy is any of us if we were put into the body and mind of a pre-teen from an adult age. The human body changes A LOT over the decades of our lives, and the pre-teen body is quite a wild and scary place where Hormones are happening and Dramatic Changes are about to undergo. And if you put the mind of a grown adult who has long since past those years into the body of one? Whoa boy. Its lucky she ISN'T WORSE!
Coupled with how heavily and powerful her shard's influence is...
...oh, and there is also being trapped in a world she thought was fiction that is a Death World at nearly the highest order.
So yeah. Its understandable for her to be... a little Mad. A very Wonderland kind of Mad. A very Girl Genius kindof Mad.
Give her a few years and she might calm down. But yeah, shard fuckery? Not even once.

Also given that they think Eidolon interferes with Magpie's thinker powers they will have an easy time convincing themselves that she speaks out of half ignorance and doesn't know about Scion and therefore only saw their actions without the justifications.
Assuming he sees anything, third eye grants immunity to divination.

Completely agree, let's see how everyone will be trying to understand what the f*** Magpie is doing

Actually there is a very good reason why she managed to say all that with a straight face:
Glibness is an 8th level spell that lasts and hour and buffs your charisma. More specifically it lets you replace any roll you make on a charisma check with a 15 (on a d20). Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates that you are being truthful.
So not only does she get the gift of gab for an hour, any Thinker powers or Tinker gizmos are either going haywire or indicating that what she said was 100% true.

When pictures of Bottle Leviathan hit PHO... oh dear.
I think the ENTIRE COUNTRY of Japan is going to be heralding Addy as the heroine she is.
Though not throwing Leviathan into the Sphere of Annihilation... But then, the sphere would remove the bottle first, and Leviathan would immediately balloon out and probably lose a big mass but run the fuck away.

Interlude chapter is coming up next. May be a little while because I like to keep a buffer and this whole Fallen/S9/Cauldron mess is really busy so I keep having to redo and rewrite entire sections. Especially when Addy metaphorically just dumps gasoline on the fire.
Well the straight face part is helped out by the glibness spell
And yeah, Addy can be a bit of a hypocrite at times.
It's a mix of both. She doesn't want people to know she can raise the dead because then she'll be stuck doing that for ages, but she also forgets that normal people see death differently to the way she does
We'll see his perspective in the interlude along with a sneak peak at Reality Lens
Reality Lens isn't spared from the suffering either.
Well to be fair if she does she'll match Addy :3
This is a fairly accurate representation of Addy's though process.
Well to be fair they didn't have Vista's body so it's not like they can tell she got raised from the dead. Not unless Vista blabs.
Well there'll be ice cream involved soon too. Hugs and ice cream fix all sorts of problems.
She's strong enough (after this showing especially) to get away with being a little arrogant.
Well they say there is a fine line between genius and insanity :3And yet she still manages to clear it.
Eh, Addy isn't really arrogant. More like terminally insane? Unable to comprehend the society mores that don't involve hugs or tentacles. Yeah, that's pretty accurate, IMO.
Besides, everything is better with hugs and/or tentacles.
She's also got a load of accidental brain damage and Reality Lens is running part of her mind on shardware due to that.
She should mellow out a bit with age, assuming she lives long enough.
I cut so much from that scene. Addy had originally gone full out on calling them out on their cauldron bullshit (including the BB experiment) in front of Taylor before I dialled it back to what it currently is.
Yeah, it's such a good spell. and definitely needed with Alexandria having her cold reading ability.

Isn't that only in 5th edition? I haven't been following all the statements @Unders made outside of story updates (this fic is popcorn to me, not something I really dive into), but just from the items she makes I get the sense that this is based on D&D 3.5.
In that case, Glibness is way, way better than what you're describing. Glibness got nerfed to hell and back in 5e. It used to be a 4th-level spell that had the following effect: "Your speech becomes fluent and more believable. You gain a +30 bonus on Bluff checks made to convince another of the truth of your words. If a magical effect is used against you that would detect your lies or force you to speak the truth the user of the effect must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 15 + your caster level to succeed. Failure means the effect does not detect your lies or force you to speak only the truth."

Fixed that for you.
The 5e version was the only one I could quickly find on the internet.
Wait. So... that scene was Addy being diplomatic?
