Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

Reader mode
So what about the excuse for a party?

Let's see, they specified something relatively innocent, and given their work - not work-related.

Excuse - Victoria's resurrection party. This is kinda one of the best options around - it's family, it's innocent, and it's only very remotely related to work.

Other options I've thought about don't cut it.

"No more Teeth around" and "No more Butcher around" both hit into issues that neither was accomplished without problems, aka cloning or emotional turmoil.

...And that's about all the reasons that come into mind when "Pantheon is looking for an excuse to throw a party" is the topic.

Any other options?

Jossed. Amelia turned Sarah infertile when she was 13. It was just as awkward as you'd think it be.

Unless the trigger made them viable. I'm pretty sure in the same dialogue Bonesaw mentioned something along the lines that Trigger Events cause people with terminal illnesses to become healthy, or something along those lines? Perhaps it made the fetuses all viable.

Just spitballing.

...it makes me sad when no one reads my posts. Emma specifically said...let me find it...
"My reproductive system's disabled and my physiology has been reoptimized for neurological efficiency..."

Quote is from the chapter after Emma finishes explaining how she bought her powers and Amelia tries to fix her cheekbone after Taylor punched her in the face.
Now, as per my earlier post, TanaNari could be fucking with us, or he could be wanting us to think he's fucking with us. Either seems likely for him.

Has Lisa still got a trademark vulpine grin after the second trigger? Or only when she remembers?

Her grin has evolved from a Vulpine to a Ninetailed.

Her smug stat has increased dramatically, but she's gained a weakness to special squick attacks.

As a result, her Provoke attack can prod even Legendaries into attacking and-

-yes, they're all Pokemon references. Don't judge me!:oops:

The impression I got of Lisa was that her personality had gone pessimistic. "Oh God Oh God Oh God I can see forever. Fuck."

"Oh fuck, why did I say fuck? Now I can't stop thinking about fucking! Fuck! Oh god I made it worse! Noooooooo!"

"Lisa, why are you flopping around on the floor?" Crystal piped up, having walked in on something weird.

"No, stay away Crystal!"

"Why-"

"Noooo, now I can't stop thinking about you fucking! Why? Why doesn't anyone listen to me?"

"Whoa girl, I know you're lonely but I'm not really interested-"

"You monster you put it in my head!"

And then Lisa went into a perverted coma.

How is it that even when Lisa is being an absolute bitch she still manages to be my favorite character? Does that make me a bad person, somehow?

Because all she did in this chapter was first being socially clueless ( which is adorable), then pretty easily came around and admitted that she needs intervention.

When Taylor forgets that not everyone loves BEES!, of Riley does something squicky, or Zach makes crass remarks, or Missy tries to act tough, that behavior doesn't get called out on being a bitch in the first place, it's admittedly part of their charm.

Lisa is being more openly chewed on for her character flaws than others, but from a reader perspective she is on par with everyone else.

So I wonder how they'll try to help Lisa. Just throwing a boyfriend at her is exactly the sort of manipulation she was trying to pull with Zach and Emma, which I'm surprised she didn't call them out on. Between her power handicap and her serious issues with getting close to people, I think she needs an honest, platonic friend rather than a project like Taylor was, or a yes-man. Both of those situations would just let her build up her misguided sense of super-competence. Someone who'll listen to her, support her when she's right and inform her when she's wrong, without being a dick about it either way. Plus being able to tolerate VULPINE GRIN all the time. And also not hit her squick buttons.

That's a long list of criteria, and there's probably more that I'm missing. Outside of a Thinker-blocker like Mantellum, I'm not sure anyone fits the bill.
 
Well, until the end there you were more or less describing Zach.

Biggest regret of the day. Also, I finally found where in all the darkest world Amelia has gone into! I can't believe I forgot that I owned an account in QQ, once upon a time. Last I remember, the thread was a lot...darker than this one.

On the note of Dragon...

Have Pantheon considered dealing with Saint? After all, he might not be a *huge* problem, but since he has it out for Dragon, he might be a priority.

Granted, since Dragon is now Dragon-Empress of her own Dead Earth and a sovereign political figure by herself, who can give herself diplomatic immunity, Saint is significantly less of a problem, but...
 
Do they even know about Saint? Dragon told them that she was under a Master effect that forced her to follow the law (which meant that if they got hit with an arrest/kill order/whatever then she would have to follow that) but isn't that all they know about Dragon's situation?
 
I sort of wonder how far away Pantheon is from offering same sex couples the ability to have a biological child? In the artificial womb sort of way, not in the body horror sort of way.

If you know of a completely free(I am literally in the red, shoveling snow is barely paying my bills) data storage location, either for my use or someone else's that they will let me access to upload it, where I could zip and throw them up I would be willing to put it up for general access.

It's 75% Harry Potter and Naruto, maybe 15% Ranma, and the rest various things that caught my attention at the time. Not all of them are good either, I grabbed everything that existed on my faves list at the time and have kept up as they are updated. The list itself is composed of anything good enough to fave when I read it which has changed so there is some absolute garbage in there that was good enough to fit my mood when I read it that I haven't bothered to filter out but I would say the majority of it is decent.

I do have rare ones that have since been deleted like Axome's Rouge Fox, which for some stupid reason he deleted when he decided not to continue it 150k words in, and most of pentupfury's lemon fics which were wiped entirely by the purge at the very beginning.

google drive can do that, you can even set up the sharing for it to be public. And give out links to it for download.

It it might take a while but I'll parse through it and start separating the complete from non complete, along with other organizing.
Might be best to PM me and we can get it figured out. Fairly sure Google drive is big enough.

Lisa needs to get laid, by a telepath. Or just find some one she enjoys getting information about. Every one else can still squick the fuck out of her, but she's fine with that one guy.

Bonus points if he's a decent person.

Doesn't seem like the sort of thing they would or should be focusing on. Given the whole saving the world thing they're working on at the moment, it's kind of a stretch to have them opening up a clinic on the side. And once they save the world, they might not be wanting to really work anymore... they'll definitely have earned a vacation on some tropical beach for at least a period of several years.

Lisa's 2nd & 3rd trigger is causing an evolution!
Lisa's evolving to....

OK, was going to do a pokegirl reference, but don't feel like digging through hundreds of descriptions to find one that works for her, so use your imagination. ;-) (and yes, pokegirls requires FAR more being judged than pokemon does, lol)


On a side note...Amelia thinks she can artificially create second AND THIRD triggers, but has yet to try to do so...

Third triggers remove Taboo.

Contessa's ONLY Taboo is the entities themselves (and things that tread too close to them, such as Eidelon and the endbringers).

If Amelia induces a 3rd trigger on Contessa, no ifs, ands, or buts; Scion's dead. Unrestricted Contessa killed Eden with a butter knife for crying out loud.

They've got a biotinker that only sleeps when she wants to, and a synergy tinker that doesn't sleep at all. I'm sure they got bored and have side projects that they work on when they need to take a break from all the saving the world business.
 
Question, since Vicky was revived and the tech is proven, couldn't they revive the others glassed with crawler? Though I'm not sure if their were others since it was so long ago.

It'd be easier just to create a device that's "both of you, take off your pants, sit on those chairs with the tubes, and try not to complain about how cold it is... when the light turns green, the one on that chair will be pregnant."

Three others. Legalities are still a thing, y'know... Vicky's only been around for a week or so.
