@SquirrelZombie I have only one request, and you have no reason to grant it but... can you make it so Greg can still somehow post on PHO, and no one believes him when he says he's inside a parahuman schoolmate's interdimensional life-street? Pretty please? :D
No promises.

I'm not real wild about PHO interludes. That is to say, I like reading them, but the idea of trying to write one fills my soul with a pain only rum can fix.

That said, I'll see what I can do for ya there, Storms.
 
Next Time on Samedi!

Taylor out and about in costume! Hilarious super-power shenanigans with street thugs! Maybe an encounter with a parahuman or two! Definitely another death!

Staaaaaay tuned!
 
People change. And nothing stimulates change like near death experience. So even if he is a little shit with no redeeming qualities it does not mean that he will remain as such.
 
I never had a problem with Greg, if we want to be absolutely truthful, almost every character in Worm is an horrible person or an asshole or a douche. Outside of all the people in Worm, can we really hate a kid that is kinda perverted and mean and want him to die? We cannot be that inhumane.

Maybe, he was designed to be hated or dislike by an writer that want to create a story that have everything that make humanity an bunch of assholes time 100. It doesn't mean he should die.

But, then again, this is coming from a guy that hate every character that the majority likes, so who knows! ;)

On another note,

We didn't shove him in a locker or beat him up or even really bully him.

What we did was ignore him or make fun of him behind his back.

If you really believe that he didn't know what you said 'behind his back' then you are naive. He knew and maybe, since he knew, he didn't really need a reason not to be too much of an asshole. Be glad he was an asshole, others would have killed themselves....or others.

Did I say that he didn't know? I'm sure he knew some or even most of it. I heard a lot of shit that was spread about me. Teenagers are kinda fuckin awful. That's because they aren't people all the way yet. They're really close, and if you squint you can see it. But most of us were still trying to figure out how to be in the world. We hadn't programmed ourselves.

I wasn't trying to defend my actions. That wasn't the point.

I think we basically agree with each other about all this. The only reason I'm responding is because I'm not sure you realize that we agree.
 
Am I being a jackass? I feel like I'm being a jackass. Somebody tell me so I can shut up and get back to writing the funny.

I wasn't trying to make your actions seem bad, you was young, it is quite understandable your reaction to him. But, yeah we agree; teenagers are awful, but so is everyone else, but they aren't awful all the time, why are we still talking about this? Fuck this, let get back to the story!

Did I got that right? ;)
 
My next post will have nothing to do whatsoever with Greg, or jackasses, or cognitive biases.

I promise.

Probably.
*Takes a drag*

Might take me a minute to get down off this high horse of mine, though.

I wonder if this sort of insane nonsense is happening in all the other threads I skip through to read the threadmarks?

"Goddamnit!" Insulin and jawbreakers. Seriously, that kid's personality was gonna develop diabetes pretty soon.

"What's the matter, Greg?" I didn't really care, but I couldn't have him stinking up the place. I more or less lived in the street full time these days, and I didn't want it to taste like a candy factory exploded in a hospital.

"Nobody will believe me!"

"Believe you about what?"

"Here! Us! This place and how awesome it is!"

Oh. Well. That was actually kinda sweet.

But even pouring sugar on a turd, I still didn't want to eat it.

"What did you say?" I had figured out how to keep a tiny itty bitty hole in the portal to my bedroom open all the time. I just forced my cane to extrude a ring of ebony and held it in place with my will when I removed the cane and dropped the portal. It wasn't much, but it was enough to run a power supply and ethernet cable through. Via de Los Muertos was an on-ramp to the information superhighway, baby!

"I just told them about how my hot parahuman girlfriend has a magic alternate dimension where we hang out all the time and sometimes she goes out and kills bad guys but then we all have a big party afterwards with music and dancing and a funeral if the dead bad guy decides he wants one and I can't show anyone else or take pictures because I don't have a camera and no one else can get into the dimension without dying first."

"Girlfriend?"

Author's Note:

Ha! I kept a promise I didn't make and broke two promises I did with one post! Beat that, Earth President Richard M Nixon!

WATCH ME.

That's because they aren't people all the way yet.
Soylent green made from teenagers is 50% less people than regular soylent green. The other 50% is a mixture of poor impulse control and masturbation.
 
Michael deserves his moment in the sun. However brief.
Speaking as someone who pretty much was Michael/Greg for most of my time in school, no he doesn't. I'm sure there are things you, or your classmates could have done to help Michael but accepting him or deciding treat him nicely (which amounts to the same thing since the poor fucker has pretty much no ability to identify social cues) would just have made things worse, especially if the adults were "helping" him by making sure he knew his problem identifying social ques was not his fault, but not actually helping him figure out things.

Now I need to get drunk, and there's no alcohol in the house.
 
Howdy peeps,

So, I'm having a hard time with the 1.x interlude. My heart isn't in it this morning.
He's such a fucking liar.
I hope to have something up for you all later this afternoon, though.
Stay tuned. Dis gon b gud.

@SquirrelZombie Thank you for the omake. Much appreciated. :D

Do take your time with this whole writing business. I hear it's more troublesome than it appears at first glance.
 
This story is by turns sweet, creepy and hilarious. Sometimes all three at once.

Personally, I wish she'd pulled Emma into the street just for thirty seconds, and given her the full Death stare. Then put her back. And when Emma starts freaking out, look at her innocently and ask, "What?"

Also, every time she told Madison "I'm not talking to you," I cracked up.

Also also, did Danny trigger? I think he triggered.

Tall skinny guy in the Street. Coil or someone else?

Thanks for the kind words. You're one of our fanfic heroes.

As for your questions?
*Takes a long, slow drag from the cigar*

Stick around, you'll find out.
 
There will be shitz and gigglez just not from anyone else but Taylor.......Avatar of a voodoo god.
If there was ever a time to run for the universal exit this is one of them......Voodoo gods.....Hell to the NOPE!
I'd rather take my chances with Chaos. Nope!
Hey! The Loa aren't that bad! You can negotiate with them, they respond well to bribery in most cases.... Overall, you could have to deal with a LOT worse.

Yeah. I've been getting slandered ever since I started the thread. I don't know why everyone immediately jumps to insane murder spree when they hear voodoo death god.

I don't go around indiscriminately killing.

I'm very selective.

That would have been really funny.

Unfortunately, Taylor's power doesn't work quite the way you seem to be assuming.

At the present moment in the story, only one person other than Taylor has visited the street.

Hey, that makes me think. Someone should write a worm/startrek TNG crossover cross-insert where Reg Barclay and Greg swap lives.

Eh, it's probably already been done.

To Boldly Go Where No Greg Has Gone Before!

Duhn... duh duh duh... duh duh DAAAAA
