Okay, time to speak up in here for the first time.
Of course to fuel the fire.

Time for wikis for free to play ascii art roguelikes.

Regular epic fantasy setting.

What is powwow? Like "pow chicka pow wow"? Were they having a sexual intercourse?

It's a Native American term for a religious ceremony among friends and family, they were often used as a pretense for diplomacy with neighboring tribes and later the settlers. So it's semi-frequently used in American English to refer to hanging out.
 
Oh god no Noisy Tenant, I... legitimately don't know if this world can handle a direct infusion of extra-zonal weirdness.

Also, I will point out, it's not that time functions non-linearly in other zones, it's that things from other zones perceive time and time-lines non-linearly, and can travel it or cause others to travel it(involuntarily) as such. Unless Kevin has been given the ability to see layers, she'll still be travelling time 'linearly', just at an inconsistent rate(specifically, 1 layer roughly equals 'how many events took place in 1 comic page/paragraph', not counting dialogue)
 
Chapter 191: (Beep)
"How about this one?" Ugh, I'd never fit in that. Victoria really wasn't used to shopping for ectomorphic people. Just like I wasn't really used to shopping with friends. Not that we were going to pay for any of this. Sometimes it was easy to forget that we didn't really do this a few days ago, that it was our Originals who had hung out. It was easy to forget because of how similar she was to the Original Victoria, not that I'd be telling her that. Though on some level I knew that she mostly liked me because of how similar I was to my Original, even though that Taylor is a total bitch and I'm not.

"I don't know Victoria, I-"

"Nope, we've got the same Mother, so that makes us sisters. All my family members call me Vicky." Right. While I'm over here angsting about my place in the world, Victo- Vicky knows exactly who she is and what she's about. I'm so envious of her ability to do that. "So you gonna answer my question?" Oh right.

"I don't think I'd fill it out as nicely as you seem to think, plus I don't really like that shade of green." Vicky tilts her head at it, giving the garment a critical eye. Then her eyes widened and she tackled me to the ground, narrowly saving me from the traquilizer dart that hit the changing stall door. For fuck's sake can't a girl get dressed in peace? I peak out under the clothes, and I have accomplished nothing because there's nobody immediately visible from this angle. Welp. BEEP

Solar Man + Kierkegaard + Data on the Old World A robot created to assist in studying the sun. This version of Solarman comes with a store of ancient knowledge of the gods who first gifted humanity the science of robotics.

"Go investigate whoever is shooting at us and deal with them non-lethally if you can, after that come back and guard me." I'd learned my lesson from Surtr, even if Original didn't. The robot I summoned saluted me with a puff of fire that set the ceiling on fire before carelessly running out of the room. Fuck. "Come on si- sis." I urged, stumbling over the unfamiliar word. "Let's get outside so we don't die of smoke inhalation." Vicky nodded, grabbed our loot and coated her feet in her sliding forcefields, letting me push her along at the same speed I'd be moving if I weren't pushing anything at all. Plus she'd make an excellent battering ram if need be.

It was going smoothly until we were ambushed by a ten foot tall giant (14), who proceeded to whack Vicky in the torso with his club. The blow sent us both hurtling into a brick wall, I'm pretty sure I heard something snap when Vicky's unyielding body pinned my arm to the wall. It was agony, almost as bad as hamburger hand. BEEP

Whirly + Machine in Love A Tinkertech virus infects all computers within the Lord's Market, it uses Excel to fill up harddrives with thousands of unique and personalized love letters addressed to the owner of the computer. Even if the device doesn't have Excel installed.

BEEP

Kusanagi A 2-handed weapon with an aura of Earth, boosting mineral-based creatures and constructs within 7 feet of Host.

BEEP

Wily UFO + Rock Cube Tinker power, can carve solid rock into flying transportation. The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles.

Ugh. By the time I came to, Vicky was standing over the the legs of the giant. She was absolutely drenched in blood, staring in mute shock at her fist. Must have been some fight.

More like living crystals and stone elementals. Things that science wouldn't consider alive but it has a Manton Field anyway.

please give us a YuGiOh Taylor, magic the gathering Taylor, Warhammer 40k/fantasy Taylor and a dungeons and dragons Taylor

all of those would be a pleasure to read about

random yugioh

random magic the gathering card

random 40k

random D&D monster

all of those have random generators or can be tweaked to accommodate random stuff
 
...It occurs to me that Cauldron could no doubt have stopped Coil EASILY before this could happen, but they didn't. I imagine they want an army of Haphazards in their back pocket for the end of the world, which is probably going to be UPGRADED now that no less than three Entities could be going at it against each other and humans.
 
It's not clear that Cauldron could have foreseen the Haphazard clones. Any attempt to precog Haphazard runs into a barrage of random chaff - millions of similarly probable potential pull results that did not happen - and she fired off one such chaff cloud right before the clones started to appear.
 
aren't the Taylor clones way too op, it makes the real Taylor look pathetic in comparison, the clones are nearly always going to get cool and powerful stuff while the real Taylor rarely ever gets anything cool and it is even more rare for the cool stuff to be permanent and also the clones can get different types of powers other than thinker or tinker upgrades

Noelle's power doesn't play fair. If you look at canon, the powers of clones were almost universally more lethal than original variants, and only clever teamwork and literally Endbringer level cape contingent stopped them. They are certainly more focused, but Taylor Prime has way more selection since her picks can INCLUDE lot of the others. Just...less likely that they show up.
 
Not to mention some wikis have things that are more defined in some ways then general wikipedia articles on the real life version.
For example, check the cataclysm wiki I linked above, that one has plenty entries for generic modern things like a hard hat, but this actually gives details about armor values against different types of damage, what happens when you wield it as a weapon etc. It's a more specific version that comes up as a default from that wiki compared to the regular wikipedia.
Something like that can be both good and bad, since in this example the hard hat would be much more immedeatly usefull in combat but lack all details about any advances done in that area that might be included in a regular wikipedia article.
It's a very much alternate earth in that game after all.
 
Chapter 192: (Bang)
"You heard me, you're going to protect me alongside Muramasa here." Sadly not all of my sisters could be as rational as me.

"I'm not a summon, I just teleported myself away from danger and it brought me here!" She visibly deflates at this, I guess she's really hurting for summons.

"Well then I guess that one was a dud then." Truly the bane of our existences. "Oh, that's when I use my power but then nothing obvious happens." Huh? "Except it actually does do something, and I just don't know about it so it ends up surprising me later. For example-"

"Who are you talking to?" She jumps a bit, startled. Apparently she forgot I was here, I see she inherited that annoying summoning-tunnel-vision from Original, poor thing.

"Muramasa. Anyway, as I-" That's not really an answer if I don't know who it is.

"The sword?" Now it's her turn to look confused.

"Nooo. Muramasa is the man who is holding the sword. He's standing right here, how could you-" She abruptly stops talking and stares intently at the space above and to the left of the floating sword. Maybe there's something more to this. "What?" Another pause. Yeah, I'm missing something here. "We're both right? That doesn't make any sense!" I gently interjected into her coversation.

"How about we focus on powering up so New Wave doesn't come kill us?"

"Don't you mean 'arrest'? Why would they come and kill us?" Oh boy, now I have to convince a possibly crazy version of myself that my admittedly hard to explain intuition was in the right of things.

"Well about twenty minutes ago I interrupted the fight with Mother hoping to use diplomacy and convince them to help me calm her down, you know because we're friends and all?" She's nodding along, so far so good. "But when I got there, I um. I kind of sort of tried to murder Shielder. A little." She's staring at me, dumbstruck. The sword had also turned to 'stare' at me, it was a little eerie.

"I think you skipped an important detail or two, how much time passed between you trying diplomacy and murder attempts on one of our friends?"

"It was just one murder attempt!" She's not impressed. "I tried everything I could think of at the time!"

"How long?"

"I don't know, like a couple minutes?" There's a long moment of silence. Finally she's taking time to think about this fucked up situation from my shoes.

"I think you're Mastered." What? That's ridiculous.

"I think I would know if I were Mastered, thank you very much."

"Mastered people always say that." True, but also irrelevant. "What do you think Muramasa? This looks like mind control, right?" Fuck, I can't hear what the sword is saying. I have to run, before the crazy person turns on me. "Hey wait come back, Muramasa says we can fix this!"

You know, thinking about it... I kinda hope that Kevin summons one of the Doctors from AH. That would honestly be like, the best possible outcome for this situation, provided Kevin herself doesn't screw things up. A being able to heal on a practically conceptual level could at worst remove Noelle's power, and at best fix it.
 
It's not clear that Cauldron could have foreseen the Haphazard clones. Any attempt to precog Haphazard runs into a barrage of random chaff - millions of similarly probable potential pull results that did not happen - and she fired off one such chaff cloud right before the clones started to appear.
I take this back, the possibility was foreseeable at enough of a lead time to prevent it with overt interference (e.g. through the Protectorate change of command). The pop right before being eaten followed a long period of no pops. So all PtV needed to do was examine any other case where the one pull wasn't immediately useful, the relatively high probability of which could be extrapolated from the observed distribution of pull results.

Furthermore, the chaff cloud is only in the millions, and an in-universe observer with a complete record of pulls could figure this out. Taking the proportion of pulls that are, say, registered modern-ish naval vessels and comparing it to a complete history of such vessels, they could assume that's roughly the fraction of the whole cloud that's already been pulled and have an order-of-magnitude approximation.

For that matter, PtV probably has contingency plans lined up for the summoning of every single ship it knows about.

(E) There are a lot more mixers and double summons than that, of course. But a majority of pulls are neither, including the one in question.
