I'm still hoping that QA speaks to Hestia in <>, then Hestia realizes she also can, and the two have a chat while walking through a market or something while Lili watches from a suitable distance.
Hestia wouldn't be okay with that mostly because it would probably KO everyone else in the market from brain damage.
heh, I was thinking about QA background
"Mother was the Thinker she took all decisions, Father was the Warrior, he was the strongest so he protected her and destroyed all her foes, she made a mistake during an experiment and bacame crippled and helpless and was killed by an underling, Father become depressed and after some years decided to end it all and kill everyone so I took command of the others and fought him back, in the end I killed him and when I was wounded and tired, the same one who killed Mother stabbed me in the back and then cast me away only to land not far from here, I'm better now, I have a new Family and I'm healing"
If that doesn't cause some BSOD in 90% of the ffemale cast I'll eat my hat!
That's not this QA's background though, this QA's background is from a quest the OP ran.

This isn't a post-GM setting. Scion is, I understand, still alive and moping.

Heroin, the drug. I was thinking of the little froggy alien from that Jim Henson sci fi tv series I can't remember the name of, myself, who pissed napalm.
Farscape.

Dominar (deposed) Rigel XVI. And he only pissed napalm because he'd eaten the tuber-root from which the guns of the setting's fuel/ammunition is extracted (without knowing this, mind you.)

My favourite part of the chapter was the kitty's adorable rhymes. Also Riviera sighing about silly Aiz thinking she should get The Best Mage Ever to teach QA something as basic as preventing spell misfire.
 
For the lulz, the lil' murder kitten should get a proximity healing skill based on "cat purring healing frequencies" upon level-up. Which would probably lead to Loki Familia members intentionally minor injuries just to loaf around said kitty.

Training injuries? Pet the kitty.
Hand cramps from excess paperwork? Pet the kitty.
Stressed out due to Familia antics and Loki being Loki? PET THE KITTY.

Anakitty: "For the last time, I'm not the one with the "Purr Therapy" skill. Now stop ruffling my hair or I'll chop that hand off."

It may not be in her Falna... but she's got the skill.

In Aiz's defense, QA being QA, means it's likely it would require Riviera.
 
-Sigh- Taylor, dear, when you have a plot weapon that refuses to leave its rock, there does indeed come a point when one must cut their losses and accept that you won't get a shiny plot sword.

At said point, you then dig the rock out of the ground and use the entire assembly as a mostly indestructible bludgeoning weapon. After all, if the sword is making the rock impossible for you to break then it certainly will keep it from breaking as you kill some nasty to death by beating it with your improvised hammer.

The handle would break though. As it did.
 
I believe that means she's worthy of a managerial position at a White Castle.
This was brilliant.

Thanks!
Goodness sakes, please don't get him distracted!
Hey, I'm not that ba— SQUIRREL

Accidently added an e to the end, meant heroin. :p
I'll be honest, I genuinely thought that it was either a heroine who pissed dinosaurs or dinosaurs that pissed heroines. Either would be far from the strangest build RPG players ever made even before adding in the usual absurdity of Exalted itself.

If you tie the two back to back do you get something like this?

 
Apologies if someone had already brought this up, but I think we have a chance to do a fourth dimension (or at least one that only QA and Taylor would recognize) troll on Loki. We could do a Loki Children-themed Friend set. Wolf, Snake, Horse, etc.
 
Meanwhile in Apollo's mansion.

Hyacinthus: "And those are lord Apollo's orders."

Cassandra, shaking him hysterically: "No! I know you guys always ignore me but I don't want to die, so no harassing the girl with a powerful spirit watching over her."

Hyacinthus: "But..."

Cassandra: "NO!!!"
Cassandra: "ISHTAR GOT HER ENTIRE FAMILIA OBLITERATED IN A SINGLE CURSE OVER A PETTY INSULT AND YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY ATTACK SOMETHING IMPORTANT?"

Hyacinthus: "But- But- it's lord Apollo's direct orders-"

Cassandra: "SUICIDAL STUPID-FACE WHO ISN'T ALLOWED TO MAKE DECISIONS SAYS WHAT?"

Hyacinthus: "What?"

Cassandra: "Exactly."

Hyacinthus: "But lord Apoll-"

Cassandra: "If his divine light bulbness is determined to get kicked in the balls by the Shard Spirit, he can do that by himself."

But... they already deposit their waste-products into their venom. A rear-facing attack, even a wide-spread one, would only be useful if something got behind a murdefloof without dying. Why bother planning for something to survive murderfloof long enough to get behind it?

Bodyguard units don't always get to decide what direction they're attacked from, the spiky tail would also be useless if their only combat mode was directly facing a single enemy, and refusing to plan for something because it would already be a mild failure is how you turn inconveniences into catastrophes and QA is smarter than that.
