Splintered (Worm QA-Quest)

Reader mode
Yes. Yes! Oh to the hell yes! Everyone give your votes for the elephant in the room! We need to reward our first minion Clockblocker with an appropriate gift!
 
[X]Yes. You've already greeted the hosts, as planned. Anything more than that would have been a bonus.
-[X] But first accept Dennis' offer of eternal servitude. It would be rude to ignore it and your host could always do with more friends!
--[X] Give him an elephant both as a signing bonus, and as chastisement for his irrationality. This will tell him he is both a valued member of the team, and that he can expect you to be a tough but fair boss.
-[X] Explain that you will meet Efficiency after you've given the younger shards and hosts some advice as helping them was one of the reasons you came here. Hopefully they will be more appreciative than Radiance's host.
 
PRT might react negatively to forceful recruitment of their members. Very negatively.

I am fine with possible consequences, but I'd like people to be aware what antagonizing PRT like that might result in them trying to push back.
 
You know I have a feeling that if QA does take Dennis, he will be used to explain the various nuances of human interaction.

Imagine that. Clockblocker being the one who interprets and explains things to QA regarding human actions.

You may now scream.

As soon as you exited the portal, several streams of some white fluid headed in your direction. In the distance, you could hear an alarm begin to shriek. The assault doesn't accomplish anything, of course, but you are suddenly glad you didn't bring Radiance's host with you. You aren't sure what the purpose of the substance is yet, but her getting covered in the stuff would most likely have been bad.

Anyone else noticed this unintentional perversity? <giggles>

It's not really about Piggot, though. It's more about the organisation as a whole.

Anyway, I did my share of half-heartedly playing the devil advocate today. Time to stop working against the possible future I am totally fine with.

Clockblocker uses it as a defensive tactic, doesn't he? I mean that's with armor which might be designed for it, but if he's able to do that in battle where he might be moving, doing it while he's standing still should be fine.

Slight difference between him doing it to himself, and thus knowing he's going to do it, and having someone else do it unexpectedly. I mean, yeah, it's unlikely he'd do anything other than get a bruise from trying to move his arm in a sleeve that suddenly doesn't move, but still.

We should totally momentum lock the soles of people's shoes, though.

Given that nilbog was left alone, our favorite queen don't risk a lot. The fairy queen asked to be put on the bird cage, she wasn't forced. We proved ourselve to be at least of the same level. Not to mention we killed one endbringer.

Alright!

I can see what you mean about not being too enthused with this chapter. It's not bad by any means, it just doesn't stand out against the rest of the chapters. But that's fine, because it's still the QA we all love!

I am amused by how we've apparently driven Glory Girl to pick a fight with a girl who ended an Endbringer. Lawls. Radiance is so precocious, but has a lot to learn.

As for the Wards...definitely like how Clockblocker was handled. I am tempted to call him on his not-really fealty, just because it makes it clear you gotta really watch what you say....but the thing is, I don't like Clockblocker enough to interact with him on a regular basis, so I'll have to pass.

Making an elephant amuses me though; if we can pull one off, or just clone an existing elephant and shrink it down, that would be neat. I like QA not being able to quite parse language.

Yeah but scion is visibly not giving a fuck about them.

...Yes, and?

The only visible fuck we gave to the Simurgh is the one where she died. We immediately went back to not giving a fuck.

We just dealt more damage to an Endbringer than everyone else in the setting, combined. Including Scion.

We-the-readers know that Scion is more powerful, but everyone in-story does not.
 
[X]No. Stay with the host-cluster; even if interactions with them have been rather strained so far, you can do better. You don't need permission; you're Queen Administrator.
-[X] Ask Arsenal to bring Efficiency here to meet you so you can interact with all the shard hosts at once. Efficiency will appreciate it.

A biological elephant? Not without some serious body horror. A robotic elephant? Easy.

:o How does this keep happening? This thread has managed to prompt enough perverse comments that I'm surprised there aren't any omakes on QQ yet.

...I think. Oh dear.
