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

    How nice of Simmy to give Taylor a way to meditate in peace for a few decades. Or at least I suspect this was planned by her, considering she has been feeding Taylor powerups before.

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

    Being Taylor is suffering. But being near Taylor is even more suffering. Up to and including random deaths during power testing. RIP Sophia. After the last few months this probably came as a relief.

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

    It also has the slight drawback of having your new minion where she can't really help you. Unless you're inside the birdcage yourself, of course. Should Taylor ever run out of capes to study in Brockton, maybe she should let the heroes capture her together with Amy.

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

    Pretty sure a determined enough Taylor could social-fu Amy into first becoming friends, then Amy joining the gang. And once that's done, manipulating her into seeing them as some sort of surrogate family might be possible too. But it would probably be quite time-consuming, and Taylor might...

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

    Really fun chapter. Although Taylor will have ensured Jack is making plans for the next time they meet, and she only beat him because she was prepared and he was not. Also, I googled that new charm, and the description... Wow. <...>Every two motes spent on this Charm turns a single die of...

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

    This was a very nice update. Aisha's and Alec's antics were very amusing to read. Although Sophia probably disagrees. At this point I really, really wonder what's even left of her.

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

    Potentially that's not the result of any Exalted-related typing on his attacks - it could just be Broadcast being Broadcast. Considering its ability to tell other shards to please make their hosts job in their fights against Jack from canon Worm, plus Taylor's shard at least not no-selling...

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

    Speedrun mode engaged, huh? I just hope that goes for the entirety of Taylor's contact with the S9. Or at least Jack. Him having the potential to be a very interesting character only to be ruined by his plot armor power makes him extra annoying to me.

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

    The same thing that stops people from potentially taking out 90% of villains (who rarely are actually bulletproof) the moment they show their face: author fiat. I mean there are some in-store justifications like afaik "Siberian would maybe save Jack and/or Bonesaw and they'd be really, really...

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

    Whew, that escalated quickly. Although I'm not convinced yet Regent really is dead. We didn't see a body, he was forewarned and had Aisha with him. Who obviously survived. Technically, not even Cherish's body was actually seen. On the other hand, Jack, Mr. "Shard bullshit plot armor"...

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

    All signs point to yes. I really wonder how the whole Jack/Cherish/Taylor triangle of masters and manipulators will work out.

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

    You know things aren't at their best when Rachel is the only person in the story who even tries to fix someone's psyche.

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

    I dunno, did I accidentally skip a paragraph or something somewhere? I don't remember Aisha directly contacting Taylor (as in, by talking - not by handing her a "bitch" note) since the Leviathan fight. And that was a long time ago. A time that at least to me seems way too long for a loyal member...

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

    Same. Aisha has been off screen way too long, there's definitely something coming up. With Fenrir out of the picture Taylor also has lost all protection from a sudden Aisha betrayal, and her getting fucked over by trusting a mysterious note handed to her would fit the whole "Taylor is not...

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

    Hold your horses. So far, Taylor seems to be unaware of what she can do with this power and especially of how she needs to hit people to achieve which effect. And I doubt she'll get a "how to punch someone into your minion" crash course soon. Unless Simmy intervenes once again, of course.

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

    Yeah. The instances where Simmy has quite obviously intervened in Taylor's life are already numerous enough that this was my reaction to this too. She obviously has plans for our girl.

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

    Brutally efficient revenge by Aisha, especially considering Armsmaster is all about image. But given time, there's a decent chance the PRT will figure out the girl in the pictures (or someone nearby) is a Stranger. And then they'd probably have little qualms about targeting her when she's...

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

    Yeah, possibly. I'm just pretty sure that Brian's death (or whatever happened in his cell) will become important later. Or the "who" of these events. I really doubt "oh, Coil had him killed, nothing more to it" is correct. Although I do admit that there's a chance I'm just overthinking things. :D

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

    Sure. But who did they pay? Coil generally doesn't do commissions. There's no (pseudo) precogs except him and Dinah (who he, presumably, controls at this point in time) in Brockton. At least as far as we know. The same goes for Strangers (or Masters): Sure let's assume they paid a Stranger to...

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

    Taylor is such a psycho. I love it. Unfortunately having Kaiser claim he sent a Stranger to the Rig to save Low Key while Brian was mysteriously murdered in his cell has a good chance of making Aisha very, very angry at the Empire. Which might put a lot of strain on her loyalty to Taylor...
