There are parts of this I don't like (like the misspelling :mad:), but the original quest was fun because we were a fairy. We probably can't do the same schtick, but what made it entertaining wasn't the specific schtick so much as the immense gap between people's expectations and reactions, right? Shared Sights is the single power that's most like that, especially with the different reactions between people present in person, and people using remote viewing.

Outside of Shared Sights, my only priority is to kill any plan to give control back to Taylor dead in the water.

Sorry; I have read so many Worm fics at this point that whatever they were called has been long since lost from memory. There were at least 3 though, counting Queen of the Swarm.
 
Eh, time to consolidate I guess. Switching from my vote to the other Form Change vote that helps us most be like a fairy.

[X] Plan Teleporting Dragon

I hope we insist in someone's hearing that muggles are not real people because we can teleport while they're looking at us.

One at a time. I considered letting you make a whole bunch of mini-projections, but decided it was too close to canon and other stuff that's been done before.

I basically went with what I thought would create maximum chaos. Mic Drop gives us a reset button for whenever we accidentally something, which should be frequent given we can cause people's stuff to go on the fritz and go rooting through peoples memories and inadvertently blab their deepest, darkest secrets. Cat-based teleportation just lets us see ourselves out as discretely as possible. The bunny ears, of course, just make everything surreal for all involved parties.


[edit: came up with better plan, with QA halping other shards deal with host issues]

You guys forgot to put the "-" before Mic Drop; it is splitting the vote when someone votes for the plan by name.

"Manage Votes" -> "Merge Votes." Not exactly hard for me to sort out, yaknow?

EDIT: Or, translated, splitting it like that isn't a problem for how they're counted overall.

For your consideration:

I like a couple things about this one:
1. We have a lot of troll potential for people with control over all their stuff, and the ability to pop in and out with relative ease.
2. We don't have as much unadulterated POWAH as in the first quest, so being better informed seems like a good idea
3. It's more 'in theme' of what I think of when I think QA. The biotinker angle seems like it's stealing too much of Shaper's thunder, and who here thinks we're not going to try and get Amy to loosen up?
4. In combination with our own anti-thinker measures, I think it would be fun to turn the tables on the likes of Tattletale, Accord, and Coil. (Something tells me messin' with Contessa will be less fun)

I admit I'm not totally happy with it; if I had to change something, I'd love to make robots and AI. The save scumming is because I love the idea of Groundhog Day'ing Taylor every time she starts to wake up in a compromising spot, but it left one point left over that I didn't know what to do with.

Frankly, I'd like to pick up the Synthetic intelligences without all the other tinker stuff, just so that we can have Friends that continue to mess with people's stuff after we leave. Unfortunately, it seems it only comes packaged with mechanical tinker devices. . .

Because God's dammit all I wanna see QA act like a super excited 10 year old who just got told they're cat just had babies. And the baby kittens are fucking Adorable.

Also GM says our little friends get minor powers with appropriate head ware if we take fedora people, and I am Not giving that up.
 
Hell with it. In for a penny, in for a pound. I'm throwing my hat into the ring.

[X] Plan Hat Wearing Abominations
-[X] Fedorable (-1 Points)
-[X] Form Control (-2 Points]
-[x] "Friend" Bio-Tinker Specialty (-2 Points)
--[x] Borrowed Features for Wonderful Creatures (-1 Points)

Form Control and "Friend" Bio-Tinker synergize extremely well, and Borrowed Features just makes that even better. Fedorable adds to our hilarity factor, and gives us some access to a wider variety of abilities, as well as empowering our minions.

While I do understand that being a Bio-Tinker is going to cause problems, the mental image of swarms of chibi-Zerg in fedoras is just far too beautiful, cute, and hilarious to pass up. And, with Form Control, we'll have the ability to blend into our swarms, take on the forms of other sorts of animals, or other people, and generally keep our identity a secret and our hide intact, unless we seriously screw up.

Edit: It's also a power-set we can constantly grow and expand as needed, either through acquiring new hats, or building new friends, possibly with new powers. Any powers we get from Borrowed Features, we can use ourselves with Form Change. Like I said, amazing synergy, there.
