Giving people what amounts to a mobile phone app with instructions for catching and "evolving" wild animals? It's a vague link, but somewhat plausible.
As the author of said omake (the 2nd part of a two-parter, BTW), I give my Word of God that any similarities to Pokemon Go are largerly coincidental.
aww, dont be shy... a world full of battle pets who get better through training is a great plot point!As the author of said omake (the 2nd part of a two-parter, BTW), I give my Word of God that any similarities to Pokemon Go are largerly coincidental.
Uhhh, Scion's MIA/Dead, so Golden Morning can't happen.
.......................right. Sorry, mixing up my stories again. Is this also the one where bonesaw is a PRT capture and the nine are dead off screen?

Eh, I suppose it's enough for a point.
Noted and implemented.Eh, I suppose it's enough for a point.
One recommendation I have is to get rid of the restless sleeper line at the end. The way it's set up, the "escape the concrete floors" is the punchline, but by including another sentence after it all you're doing is burying it and ending the omake on a bland note.
You forget this is Worm, a universe with people like Heartbreaker... And you basically want to make animal-girls and compare them to Pokemon... Therein lies the path to Pokegirls, best not to stray in that direction (especially as this isn't QQ).aww, dont be shy... a world full of battle pets who get better through training is a great plot point!
And given the world we're in isn't Pokemon, there doesn't even need to be an appocolypse that kills all of the grownups! We're trying to prevent the golden morning after all.
I cannot thank you enough for saying this.You forget this is Worm, a universe with people like Heartbreaker... And you basically want to make animal-girls and compare them to Pokemon... Therein lies the path to Pokegirls, best not to stray in that direction (especially as this isn't QQ).
Don't forget the animal boys! Also animal men and women. Fortunately, since they are made from lesser mammals, there's no gender nonbinary shenanigans going on. Unless we happen to get a female hyena, then things might get weird.And you basically want to make animal-girls and compare them to Pokemon..
Don't we tend to get spells for fighting capes/stuff with powers?A subvote should be included if you want Samantha to go with the other group. Don't worry about any plans beyond this right now, as strategy will be decided next chapter. I recommend that you vote based on which characters you'd like to fight alongside or learn more about.
We get a spell for any fight we get into.Don't we tend to get spells for fighting capes/stuff with powers?
Well that's a relie-
-aw hell."Chevalier sent word to Winter Hill yesterday that we, the Protectorate, were open to working together to drive MS-13 out of the city for good. We received confirmation today that they and Fairyland will meet us tonight. I'd like you to come to the meeting."
Guess we need to either brush up on social or start handing out devices if we want any sort of team behind us.Kurt made his displeasure at even the Truce well known when all this mess started, and his opinion on the matter has not changed much in the intervening week and a half. No one has said anything to you, but you've heard snippets of phone calls over the past week and most lately yesterday where it sounded like the situation is putting pressure on the Privateers as well, though you aren't sure about the whys and hows. What you do know is that he would try to forbid you from going, and that's the issue.
Not that you'd listen if he did, but that spitting in your teammates' eye tends to cause more problems than it solves.
Who now?
"Two, actually. Luz and Oscuro, either a husband and wife or a brother and sister pair. Loyal to a fault towards La Muerte, the human-controlling Master who is officially only the commander of the Sinaloa Cartel forces in Sinaloa itself, which means she is almost certainly the true leader of the Cartel and from there MS-13."
Nasty. Nasty, nasty, nasty.All three sound like they'd be brought into Recursion Field. Depends on Ms Death's master ability."Luz is a Blaster, capable of firing powerful lasers from preset points, but his power takes time to charge. Oscuro is a Shaker who distorts people's senses within a single enclosed area. They will probably provide the third and second lines of defense, respectively."
Meanwhile most of the anti-cape team will be brought in.[ ] Go after the capes. Your allies will be Chevalier, Jotunn, Solaire, Snow White, Hellbeast, Spiderbite, Mishmash and Flop.
But we'd also end up snagging a few of the minion teams.[ ] Take down the minions. Your allies will be Miss Militia, Cailleach, Cinderella, Mishmash, Slo-Mo, Circus, Gush, and Shard.
"Where was I? Oh, on a patrol. Strangely quiet last night. *shrugs*""Then there's your answer. I'll warm up something so you can eat now, and if Kurt asks we'll keep the details of your trip to ourselves."
Well, it's good to see we are using that unfortunate moment of ours as a PSA. I wonder, did Cailleach have an involuntary twitch at remembering berserker Samantha?Several people in this room, too," you can't help but point out. "As someone whom they shot a missile at, I can say with certainty that they have weapons that would kill anyone who doesn't have Brute-level defenses."
Same, really. It would make tasks notably easier.Can I just say that even without the magic parts of it, I would really love to have the sheer cyber technology of Nanoha Devices? Imagine what the world would be like with the holographic screens and data transfers in the show.
Hm. Well, given that most of our capabilities involve some AoE, it might be wise to go with the anti-mook group. On the other hand, the TSAB "incident" quite clearly showed to us that we won't always be able to depend on having distance, so I'm wondering if we should join the anti-cape team and get some live combat practice with Flare Blade.Where in the battle will you take part?

La Muerte is still in Mexico. She can't runNasty. Nasty, nasty, nasty.All three sound like they'd be brought into Recursion Field. Depends on Ms Death's master ability.
Cero was the second-in-command whose capture led to the fight where you were shot down. You never saw him on-screen, though I believe I mentioned his name before now. Mysterio is the Brute you and Fairyland fought this arc.
So are Chevalier and Miss Militia for combat reasons, and Jotunn and the other villains for both combat and political reasons. This is a group of capes who are volunteering to go above and beyond the call of duty in a Truce situation for the good of the city, and both options being equal in terms of the chance of success in defeating MS-13, moving forward with this plan encourages some degree of cape "camaraderie" across hero-villain lines and could thereby leverage higher villain participation in future A- to S-class threats or Endbringer fights, which is of greater benefit in the big picture than playing to one Blaster's ego. Just because you're a powerful cape and the main character of the quest doesn't mean you're always going to be the biggest bitch at the ball.Frankly, this is a team that was set up without any sort of consultation with us. Because, if one were being sensible, after our performance against the Empire, one would know we're an asset you form your plan around.
Then you need to put in a subvote saying that. I told you to do so already if that's what you want.[X] Take down the minions. Your allies will be Miss Militia, Cailleach, Cinderella, Mishmash, Slo-Mo, Circus, Gush, and Shard.
If possible, I'd rather we send Samantha with the other group. She's a tad overkill for some underpowered vagrants.

That rapport is all well and good. But until Jotun can trap 90% of an enemy cape force in their own little pocked dimension and Chevalier gets rapid teleportation+flight, then they don't get to start swinging their dicks around without looking a mite egotistical. IIRC, didn't you write the PRT/Protectorate viewing us as a massive potential danger for how many high-level abilities we have combined? Or was that assessment just restricted to the Directors/Triumvirate?So are Chevalier and Miss Militia for combat reasons, and Jotunn and the other villains for both combat and political reasons.

And politics is not something Taylor, or some of us, are very keen on letting into battleplans.Remember how I mentioned Jotunn's speech and Chevalier's acceptance of it at the beginning of the meeting? Both of them are playing their own games underneath the actual fight planning.
Politics is distasteful, true, but it is a necessary evil.And politics is not something Taylor, or some of us, are very keen on letting into battleplans.
