we need less body horror superpowers and more psychological horror powers.

It's an interesting idea, but I dunno if personal injury is the sort of trigger she had. Her powerset is oriented towards helping/hurting others, explicitly not herself.
Well, Vicky isn't officially on the team in OMT. Also, I doubt very much that you'd have anyone wanting to join.It's an interesting idea, but I dunno if personal injury is the sort of trigger she had. Her powerset is oriented towards helping/hurting others, explicitly not herself.
And not to be critical about it, but you've pretty much got the same setup in One More Trigger, with all the girls on the same team. Only difference is the hivemind.
Speaking of psychological horror: had this vague idea of the Simurgh taking control of a number of cameras and TV stations during one of her attacks, so as to trigger certain people who are watching at the time. Not necessarily during the broadcast, but perhaps they keep thinking about it, which adds to existing stresses.we need less body horror superpowers and more psychological horror powers.
.. presumably Lisa has lost her powers?When she tries to split them apart, having fixed the basic problem, she finds that the bodies, together or apart, have total mental communication, shared control of biology, an understanding of what the hell is going on, and Vicky's and Taylor's powers on top.
I assumed Lisa's power was counted under "an understanding of what the hell is going on"... presumably Lisa has lost her powers?
Not like more bullshit is required when you have a powerset like that, but it looks a bit like you forgot about Lisa at this point.
Yup.I assumed Lisa's power was counted under "an understanding of what the hell is going on".
Couldn't help dying sister and couldn't help sister because dying aren't that different, easily close enough for a fanfic to fudge a second trigger.Eh sounds like a cool idea but didn't Amy trigger over healing a gutted Mark or Victoria?
Color-coded thought-dialogue would help somewhat. Vicky is gold, Lisa is purple. Dunno about Amy or Taylor.Yup.
Also "There's no way in hell we're ever getting out of this."
I'd write this, only I'm having enough trouble writing the internal dialogue for I, Panacea. Having four different, distinct voices all arguing silently?
That would be an authorial nightmare.
Amy's initial trigger was never explained IIRC.Eh sounds like a cool idea but didn't Amy trigger over healing a gutted Mark or Victoria?
I like what you're doing here.
So,that means deep down she's a loyalist to the current regime...I like what you're doing here.
It doesn't matter if she means it about the dark-and-edgy or not, she's giving Taylor the (accurate) impression that the heroes are, for the most part, good people who are trapped behind rules and regulations that keep them from helping as much as they want.
Also, Sammy is practically the Anti-Glenn.
She'd be an unironic fan of early Image Comics. She'd think the characters were cool as hell. She'd hate the art though.I like what you're doing here.

Sammy is only really loyal to Sammy.So,that means deep down she's a loyalist to the current regime...
I still think Sammy is an avatar of Ziz.
noooooooooo,that would mean Ziz is the Smoke Monster.
Never saw Lost.i liked your previous chapter,i honestly thought you were subtlety channeling the final scene to Lost for a one-shot fic,but this a better outcome.
Just for you:
Overall great idea, but this part is my favriote. For some reason I like the idea that notmindfucked!Amy is something of a skirt chaser. Partly Karmic balance, partly humor, partly because I think it would bother the hell out of Carol. Especially if you believe that Marquis was a ladies man.One scene that I think could be very amusing would be Shielder and Panacea going out girl-watching together and flirting with any that seem receptive and catch their eye.
And now my brain pictures a scene like this after Marquis breaks out:
Still not as hilarious as 'Family' in the NSFW thread.And now my brain pictures a scene like this after Marquis breaks out:
Soon after her trigger event Taylor decides to follow in the footsteps of the only non-villainous master she was aware of: Parian. Together they put on wonderful plays, weave incredible fabrics, and spend time together as friends.
Secretly, however, Taylor uses her high range to scout gangs out and feed the information to the BBPD and the BB PRT. She might be betraying Parian a little but she's going to be a hero, darn it! Naturally, she develops her interpretation of bug senses faster as she's focusing on that to the exclusion of most of the other things she did in canon to prepare for heroing.
