  1. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Is there a possible alternative Arc Boss to Zion that starts with the letter 'Z'?

  2. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    For a moment I thought Glaistig Uaine went into the desert right after Taylor. I guess she has her own way out of the Birdcage and would visit Brockton Bay to take another look at the desert.

  3. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    ....alright, how the fuck did Taylor know that Glaistig Uaine could take the Butcher ghosts without stealing the powers before ever laying eyes on her with Sorcerer's sight? After this was shown I find it hard to believe that she'd have been ready to accept their permanent residence in her head.

  4. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    How did those four words "pull back the curtain"? I suppose it may be the revelation that even a top tier parahuman such as the Butcher, that non-parahumans are commonly thought helpless against, could be brought down by mundane weaponry in the hands of someone whose power ostensibly didn't help...

  5. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    So, because Taylor being able to deduce that after killing the Butcher she'd be spared the voices for some reason would be too neat and painless, my guess is this: After gaining the regeneration charm from LizardTail, she can now exploit the one she got from Cuff that provides Willpower when...

  6. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I think Eligos and a bunch of other Fallen basically (invented and) converted to Esperism after she killed Behemoth. It's somewhat understandable that at least some Endbringer cultists would: if you start worshipping something because of its unmatched destructive power, destroying it would let...

  7. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Of course Saint is a reasonable martyr in this world, amazing :D. I wonder if 17 dooms queued up means that the first 16 are actually supposed to leave her alive so she experiences all of them?

  8. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Guess it confirms my theory of the author's interpretation of grimderp that I posited after the E88 all died offscreen: ignominious deaths for characters that have had some significant narrative investment reinforces the idea of universal worthlessness of... anything, in the story's world...

  9. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Big oof on the Aisha part. That's a gem of a pun. Evil Taylor probably figured out when Taylor was struck by Karmic Retribution, since that's definitely something she'd like to tell Taylor was her own fault. I do still wonder what made her suddenly go quiet and run out of the room...

  10. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Too bad about losing the amulet... Also, how is Taylor gonna get rid of the spinal override before she exits the desert, which is when she'll presumably enter range of its signal again?

  11. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Ayyyyyyyy Found in the third chapter. Aware this isn't the only story where she voices this sentiment, but most don't actually force her to put her money where her mouth is!

  12. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    There's a variety of reasons I'm less than satisfied with how things are going, but one stands above all others in prominence: Jack Slash is just an obnoxious character to have on screen. But yeah, Taylor not dodging Mannequin when she 100% knows he's about to retaliate for her refusal of his...

  13. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I suppose you have a point when one distinguishes between grimdark and grimderp. In grimdark "rocks fall, half the established characters die" would be an absurd waste of already written development when you could instead make use of it to make them all die more... poignantly. The grimderp take...

  14. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Soul Price loyalty degrades with bad treatment though, so the prospect of escape is far from hopeless.

  15. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    That's an excellent point. Maaayyyybe her slight brute rating would give the game away as soon as the torture started?

  16. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    So now Taylor can turn anyone into a Nazi with a touch. This is fine. Wonder if Alexandria's body being temporally locked translates to immunity here, considering this is still a Shard power....

  17. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Elsewhere, Jack Slash begins to feel an inexplicable urge to go shopping for a wedding ring...

  18. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Damn, she wasn't kidding. And it took, what, a day?

  19. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The paperwork is one thing, but if Vista was committed to quitting, what could they even do? Even assuming she didn't have a power that made containing her almost impossible without some kind of Bio-shaker or -tinker, which they don't have, are they gonna try and arrest her at home to abduct to...

  20. Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Gotta admit, the nanites were a good twist. So the glow in Sorcerer's Sight apparently doesn't "radiate" beyond an object's actual size. EDIT: NEVERMIND, I SHOULD BE IN BED.
