Summoner Quest (Celestial Menagerie)

Reader mode
Why are we voting in Taylor's choice. I feel that her character should make a choice depending on what she wants rather than what we decide. I believe we should only vote on our response to her choice rather than making the choice for her. To be clear this is not an attack, perhaps a critique but I prefer the term 'clarification'. It seems out odd for us to decide this matter for Taylor but I am not the author. My only real power is feedback and voting. Thus my vote:

[X] her to be put on probation
[X] her to be transferred to another region
I think both having her placed on probation and transferred away would be the optimal solution as they do not seem mutually exclusive.

[X] I've been summoned by the Youth Guards. I wonder what they want.
It might be nothing or they might be mad about arming vista and the other wards. Either way best to get it dealt with as soon as possible.
 
[X] her to go to juvie.

I see my chance. Im taking it.
Its what she honestly deserves.
The adults deserve a lot worse.
Because of the locker. The rest is horrible but that was just too much .

Well that issue came out- in some ways we are probably the best person Taylor could have talked to since we do not have that conflict drive. I imagine we will bring this up with Armsmaster and the Director

My apology if it's not clear but the one talking at the end is Taylor.
You, the voters, choose what she wants not what Alex wants. You're influencing the settings.
Like with the activity vote, it's not Alex that chooses what to do, it's you that determines the event that he needs to react to.
 
[X] her to be expelled from the Wards.

Remember, Taylor is very self-righteous. (Well, at this stage at least..). To her, the most horrible thing about this is that Sophia was a hero. At the minimum she would want that stripped from her. Going to juvie would also work, but in voting for this I'm assuming something of a public accusation against Shadowstalker, not just legal punishment for Sophia. Not an outing of her personal identity, but something like, Shadowstalker expelled from the Wards for activity unbecoming a hero.

[X] I should check on that animal shelter that accepted the dogs from the dog fighting rings.
[X] On patrol I need to keep an eye out for a new vigilante that has been running around.

Yeah, something of a broken record for me here, Imma keep voting for these till they win or disappear...

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised nobody wants to meet Theo. Is he not that popular among the fandom? I can understand why some are burned out with so many stories that focus on the Undersiders, but in my opinion Theo is a very interesting person who is under-used in most fanfics.

I agree with the tree, while juvie would be the better place for Sophia, taking the title of hero from her would be the soothing balm she needs to get some closure. She would have been sent to juvie anyway for breaking her probation.

Even though I really want to, I wasn't qualified to address her self-deprecating comments. In addition as a pseudo-superior officer and guy, it would be appropriate to do so. I may have a few words with Hannah about it, however.

Well, I see it as zagan asking what our priorities are for Sophia's punishment. Choosing "go to juvie" will see Sophia securely locked up but leaves open the PRT doing some sort of "Shadowstalker has been reassigned to Alaska", thus preserving both her reputation and theirs. (There is some suspicion that reputation is more important to the PRT than either actual heroism or effectiveness.) Choosing "expel from the wards", otoh, means that Shadowstalker will be publically shamed and her reputation ruined, but leaves open the chance that she might pull a runner and still be free, though as something of a villain rather than a ward. I just think the latter might be more interesting story wise...

As Antaeus said, It's a matter of perspective.
Being Expelled would make a Civilian, responsible for her own action and put under surveillance.
Juvie would be expelled and imprisoned.
 
[X] her to go to juvie

Some people might think this would never happen but remember compendium is an S-class Cape, they know they have to bend backward to keep him they probably cover crimes of other capes The Boy's style

honestly, they will probably be relieved that the first big thing he asks is that they follow their own rules instead of claiming the trainyard as an independent nation or something equally stupid

and let's be honest, with Compendium around Elytra is much more valuable than shadow stalker, a violent vigilante that has broken her probation

like she at least has synergy with compendium, shadow stalker isn't liked by her team

oh don't get me wrong the bureaucracy won't like to send her away, but it's going to be way easier than it would otherwise with Taylor on the wards

Compendium also has the sorting hat, that not only will know if she is telling the truth but can undig crimes by itself

the pont is that thisbos very possible, despite piggot trying to persuade him

the city did lost like 20 villains because of him

This would probably be the best, for them to quietly throw her into jail and would be very cathartic for Taylor

I just wonder what they could possibly want from Compendium

Is there a power that allows you to increase the yield of the material extraction?

I can see using it in combination being effective, like constructing an instant palisade wall out of adams wood, defensive emplacements are incredibly effective at stopping infantry

Chapter 142: Sub vote
  • Voting
    • [X] her to go to juvie.
    [X] I want to talk with Assault and Battery about converted Villains
    [X] Power
    Creature Roll: (410 points)
    Entry Roll D125=75
    200 Equip Traits, 50 Enhanced Theme (Already Gained), 100 Environmental Adaptation (Already Gained)

    No subvote for a power this time, only one viable option. We gained the "Equip Traits" power.
    However, I still have a vote for you, namely voting on what trait Alex should use the most often. I put the detail of the powers below. The main factor for us is using a trait from a creature that we won't often use, ideally never, because we can only equip traits from creatures not currently summoned.
    This vote does not mean that Alex will never use any other traits, this will just be the default one.

    Details:
    -Equip Traits: At any time you can choose to equip ONE trait from one of your creatures to yourself.
    You can only equip a trait from a creature not currently summoned.
    A trait can be a body part, limb, internal organ, skin, or others. It can be characteristic such as immunity to poison, resistance to fire, or the ability to absorb sunlight. It can also be more esoteric such as magic reserve, knowledge of a subject, or skill with a weapon.
    You can use this ability at will but only ONE trait at a time.

    Vote:

    [] Pyrobat: You gain a gland that allows you to breathe fire
    [] Bulky Vendor: Your speed increases the less health you have.
    [] Shadow: You gain a pair of insubstantial clawed arms. (can be hidden beneath clothes)
    [] Pegasi: You gain wings that allow you to fly.
    [] Flubber: You gain complete immunity to blunt damage.

    Voting will be closed Monday at 3 PM GMT

    Not directly but "Summoning 3/day" function with Material Extraction, allowing you to summon the material 3 times.

    • Hmm I guess if we're going for a creature we never summon it would probably be the Pyrobat since the others are useful for material extraction or in the pegasi's case one of our mounts.

    [X] Pyrobat

    Wait. Could we take a power granted trait? Like sine we are the only ones that can control our summons, can we take that trait? So that we can no longer be mastered?
