Well, this is interesting. Pity I missed Chargen, but oh well. Might as well jump on the bandwagon.

... Question, is there any chance Taylor might wake up eventually?
 
I suspect we're gonna be feeling the pain of not having Trump immunity, since that's one of the few reliable ways to shut us down it looks like.

Better work out how to do our own Trump protection via Reality Warping. If that's possible.

Players will occasionally be given the option to have her wake up. Usually, said chances will come when her waking up would result in shenanigans.

Of course, your chosen powerset will likely serve to convince her that she's still dreaming...

1.2: Leaving the Locker
Wow. A completely unanimous vote despite having a bunch of participants. I don't think I've ever seen that on SV before. This is much faster than my normal speed, but regardless, have a post!

The decision is probably one of the easiest you've ever made. You have an unacceptably small amount of information with which to imitate Host. What happens if someone else breaks their own routine? How would Host react? Would you even be able to tell if something was wrong? The obvious decision is to break Host's routine to find out what she should be doing and observe everyone else at the same time.

Course set, you take a page out of Phantasm's book and order reality to consider you a non-solid substance long enough for you to phase through the door. Despite this being an educational structure, it does not appear that anyone is in the room just outside the locker. That seems rather counter-intuitive; what is the point of a specialized building if you are not going to make full use of it?

As you leave the area, you hear an emergency vehicle approaching the school despite not yet having delivered your report. Odd, that. A Precognitive should not be able to predict your actions.

Regardless, it doesn't take very long for you to encounter a suitable recipient of your message: a human, female adolescent the same age as Host. She is carrying a large amount of miscellaneous, thick liquids of varying color.

She drops the supplies upon spotting you, instantly prioritizing taking care of you over whatever task she was previously assigned. You're not sure why her hands covered her mouth afterward, though. Perhaps it was the stench?

"Oh my god, are you alright?"

You consider this. You don't belong to her. God is slightly misleading, but still an appropriate descriptor for you. You're covered in cuts and slime, but it would be the work of moments to fix that. However, she did specify 'are you', not 'are you going to be'.

"No. I am suffering from thirty-seven cuts of various sizes, eleven bruises, three forming infections, moderate dehydration, minor heart damage, minor lung damage, malnutrition, a minor concussion, temporary amnesia, and significant brain damage." you inform her.

Having delivered your message, you soften the ground around you and fall unconscious.


When you next awaken, your surroundings have changed to that of a plain, white room. There are multiple containers of medical supplies scattered along the walls, but those, a chair, and the bed you are currently in are the only furniture.

A large, middle-aged human male sits in the previously mentioned chair. A quick trawl of Host's stupidly-disorganized memories identifies the male as Danny Hebert, Host's father. It would appear you will need to practice feigning love. He appears to be unconscious right now, although a quick look indicates that it is due to exhaustion rather than any medical injury.

Unfortunately, there doesn't really seem to be anything for you to do yet. You elect to use your free time to sort out some of Host's memories, make it so they're actually understandable.

You aren't left alone for very long. Less than fifteen minutes later, the door to your room opens, divulging a human female about the same age as Host. Rather than wearing clothing dedicated to ease of movement, she is wearing a hooded white robe with a red cross on the front.
<Hello, Queen Administrator! It's good to see you. Do you like your host?>
You instantly recognize her as the host of Queen Shaper. Host's memories identify her outfit as belonging to a host called Panacea, which is somewhat odd. That name is shared with a cure-all, but healing is only one of the many things Shaper is capable of. It is incredibly rare for a Queen shard to be restricted to something so narrow. Did she annoy :Father: last cycle?
<I'm asking 'cuz mine sucks. She never does anything but heal, heal, heal, all day long.>
Perhaps you should stop making assumptions about your surroundings. You've had to use the word 'odd' as a descriptor multiple times since connecting with Host.
<Night, too. Hosts usually experiment then, but noooo. More healing!>
Aren't humans advanced enough to have some sort of a network for information distribution? It would be wise to peruse it the next time you have access to a terminal.
<Radiance tried to help, but Host refuses to do anything but heal even after some brainwashing.
Actually, although you are restricted from anything too advanced, you may be able to improve whatever system they have in place. Getting the required materials may be difficult, though- oh right, reality-warping. It's been so long since you were allowed to use such a brokenly powerful ability that you had forgotten how useful it is.
<...Could you stop singing for just a little while? I'm trying to talk to you.>
...Why is Panacea just staring at you and looking increasingly uncomfortable? You have not yet made any threatening actions, nor should she know about your current powerset. You are, as far as she is concerned, just another patient.
<Seriously. It's really annoying. Have you been hanging around Broadcast?>
You try to rearrange your mouth into a reassuring smile, but for some reason that only serves to make her more uncomfortable. Are you doing something wrong? You haven't even sharpened your teeth yet.
<Keep this up and I'll encourage Host to turn your host into a squirrel.>
Fortunately, your expression seems to have spurred her into action. Success! She briskly walks across the room, stopping next to your bed and holding one hand out.
<Screw it.>
"Do I have your permission to heal you?" the host of Queen Shaper asks.

[]Yes.

[X]No.
-[X]My injuries are not serious enough to warrant the assistance of...
--[X]Queen Shaper.
--[]Panacea.
-[]I am capable of healing myself, thank you.
--[]Please focus your efforts upon a human who actually requires assistance.

[X]Write-in.

Poor Queen Shaper. She keeps trying to talk to QA but QA can't even hear her.

She is?

*checks*

Well. On one hand, the Queens seem about the same in personality. On the other now I feel kinda bad about turning Queen Shaper down.

Also, we need to have a tea party with GU. Who is going to love us. I would not be surprised if she walked through the door any update now, just to talk to a fairy directly.
 
I don't think we should let Panacea heal us. Mainly because:
<...Could you stop singing for just a little while? I'm trying to talk to you.>

<Keep this up and I'll encourage Host to turn your host into a squirrel.>

I don't think being a squirrel will make our Host happy.

Poor Shaper, we should give Radiance some lessons on Halping
 
[X]No.

[X] <Hm? Queen Shaper, did you say something?>

YES YES

...Oh man did we miss out.

If we had taken Muscle Incontinence, we could have kidnapped Regent and forced him to be our physio-terapist. Use Command Jammin's selective ignore function to allow him to control us (as long as allow him to), have his nice helpful power show us how to control the muscles, and once we're done with him (or he decides to screw with us) lock him back out.

Bam, the failing could have been knocked out so fast.

Lets always refer to capes by their shard names.
Your QM fully supports this and sees nothing that could possibly go wrong with this plan. :p

Command Jamming only affects mind-affecting abilities. This includes most Stranger and many Master powers, but Regent is not among them.

You could, however, have used AO:R to puppet your body around. It'd be creepy as hell to watch, but it would work as an effective stopgap.
