Splintered (Worm QA-Quest)

Reader mode
While I like the idea of 15' area of Lolnope, a 5' one and complete control of any and all tech both tinker and non-tinker within 50' (including Dragon... I think?) sounds even better. (well, as long as we can both De-Ascalon and control Dragon)

what would we need permanent changes outside our area of control for anyway? I guess we could use it to make changes/improvements to allies, but other than that...

Whether or not QA knows Taylor's name. So, I'll just let y'all pick instead. What'll it be? Y/N?

Well, it's fragmented memory (oh hey, I finally got the joke), not total Amnesia, and names are things that saturate your entire life, so it makes much more sense for her to get Taylor out of what's left. Really, I'd expect details to be the only things missing (She has the outline of Taylor's life, but not many real specifics. She knows who her dad is, but very little about him. Like if she read the definitions of most things in an encyclopedia instead of personally encountering them).

Just enough to be effectively Taylor Hebert, but not enough to not be incredibly suspiciously socially awkward to anybody who knows her (which, luckily for us, though not her, is absolutely nobody. Being Taylor is lonely suffering).

Shards have designations, such as Administrator, Sting, Broadcast, etc. She knows what a name is.

Fair enough. Rolling with her knowing it, then. Also: I was wondering if anyone would get that.
 
[x]Administrative Override, Reality: You have full control over everything within five feet of you, and can freely modify almost everything within that space. This includes several laws of reality, including casualty and momentum. Obeys Manton limitations (cannot adjust, control, or create living material). Changes quickly revert after you leave the area. -3 points.
-[x]Limit off, self: You still cannot control other people, but you can affect yourself, including modifying yourself in a manner similar to Queen Shaper. As a side effect, you no longer have an upper limit for how often you may use any unlocked ability. -1 point.
-[x]Limit off, duration: Changes persist after you leave the area. -2 points.
[x]Administrative Access, Software: You are able to ignore any and all computer security systems in order to view and/or modify what lies within. Your changes cannot be undone short of you granting permission or a system reset. -1 point.
[x]Last Scream
Host didn't go quietly. Just prior to her slumber, she managed to give all nearby parahumans (Phantasm) and potential parahumans(Architect, Perfectionist) a minor case of severe brain damage. You're not sure they will recover. +1 point.
[x]Fragmentation
Human memories are organized in a really weird way. It'll take you a while to figure out how you're supposed to read them, and some may even be lost while you're fumbling around. +1 point.

reality warping and a pet dragon what more could you want.

Well, I imagine Regent's nervous system-based Master effect might skip around the immunity to mind-altering effects. Maybe a few others. Though the field of NOPE would keep us in control.

Regent does get around the immunity, yes, but it's trivial for you to NOPE him. In addition, immunity to mind-affecting would also NOPE a significant number of Stranger powers.

Edit: Vote will either close in 1 hour, or another 14 hours if the people opposing Plan Reality-Warping want it to be extended. A short story post is ready if it's closed in an hour.

Reality-warping has a gargantuan lead. As such, voting will be closed in 40 minutes unless one of the other options get several votes in a row.

Voting for powers is now CLOSED. A story post will be up in approximately twenty seconds.

    It doesn't take very long for you to decide on the ability to overwrite reality. Technology control was tempting, but root access to reality is definitely the best way for you to keep Host alive and happy. After all, imposing her will on the world would probably be the thing Host would choose, were she able to pick. That way, if she wanted something, she could just make it! ...Except friends. But you're sure the other shard-hosts would be happy to have Host as a friend with her powers. Except for Broadcast. You're sure whoever he picked is a total jerk and you don't want Host to have anything to do with him.

    Well, whatever. It looks like you have a bit of downtime right now. You take the opportunity to heal all your wounds. Once you're sure you've taken care of all of the little cuts and infections, you temporarily turn the surface of your skin and clothing into a frictionless surface. Blood, tears, and assorted other waste fall off, pooling at the bottom of the locker. Apparently, human senses aren't totally disgusting when you aren't covered with junk!

    Now, what would Host do? Shutting your eyes, you begin to poke around in Host's memories...

    …

    …

    …

    What is with this format? It's stupid! Memories are strewn around haphazardly with no particular rhyme or reason. Entire days, weeks, or months have been skipped. Even when you manage to catch a single memory long enough to view it in chronological order, emphasis is placed on certain aspects while others are blurred out. It's bad enough that you can barely tell what is supposed to be happening!

    You're going to have to divert a small amount of your attention toward changing Host's memories into something readable. In the meantime, it looks like you'll just have to improvise. Humans are so fond of their routines; it can't be too hard to find some action that they would find acceptable, right?


    []Wait. It's really rather unpleasant in here, but for all you know, this is what Host is supposed to be doing right now.
    -[]Although, you don't think it's supposed to be full of trash. Humans frown on filth. You purge the inside of the locker first.

    []Be subtle. Leave the locker and ask an educator what your next class is. Humans believe education to be quite important and you'd hate for Host to get in trouble. You can figure things out as you go.

    [X]Detail is important, but you can't manage that yet. Your best chance of figuring out what Host's normal routines are is by breaking them. Leave the locker, inform someone that you are unwell, and fall unconscious.
    -[X]But first, reverse the healing that you already performed. You hate pain, but it'd be a little silly for you to collapse without any noticeable wounds. That's the sort of amateur mistake Pyroclasm would make.
    --[X]Reverse your cleaning, too. It's gross, but you won't have to put up with it for long.

    []Write-in.

    I added to only pretend to fall unconscious so that we can see what's going on while they take us to wherever we'll go. More data that way.

    Of course, since we have reality warping that works on our own body, nobody will be able to tell that we're still observing everything within range, not even Panacea. We will be simultaneously physically unconscious and mentally aware of everything around us.
