To be fair both of those things can go hand in hand.

You awaken from your mutation induced slumber an unknown time later, lying on a couch in a room you've not seen before. It's about ten foot square, and has two doors on either side of the room, with your sofa up against a wall in the middle and opposite a small TV. You spot a few magazines and a small trophy on a shelf above the television, but the room itself is strangely empty.

It's very clean, and has a single window facing out onto the street. Though you can't quite figure out how high you are from your resting place. You do note however, that it's very bright out at the moment.

You get up from your position on the sofa and walk around the room, at least whoever brought you here had the decency to clothe you. The door you cannot hear anything through is ajar and you quickly pull it open, finding a small bathroom with a shower, sink and medicine cabinet. The front of the cabinet is reflective and that allows you to get a good look at your face.

It's not good. The Irises of your eyes are still green, but the rest of your eyes are bright red and nearly glowing. That combined with your sharp teeth and inhuman features make you look like a monster from antiquity, there's a second of shock, you knew that your power was changing you but you thought it was going to be like before.

You thought that you could at least stay human.

You giggle slightly, drawing a smiley face on the mirror as your mind blanks for a second. You can hear someone else entering the living room now, heavy footsteps slowly approaching your hiding place.

"Boss? You okay in there?"

It's Piper.

What's your response?

The punchline is circular.
One incurs psychological trauma, one sheds the associated stress via a destructive outburst, the outburst harms or destroys other things, other things react negatively, one incurs more psychological trauma.
Tantrum Spirals are absolutely hilarious.

You force the mocking laugh and scathing retort back down your throat, you won't solve this through anger. You can't let that be your response. Instead you breathe out heavily and exit the room, coming face to face with your Texan companion.

She's not wearing her armour now, and it brings to mind that you've never actually seen her without it. Instead she's in a red shirt and shorts that go down just past her knees, leading to a set of pink sneakers. She has a rather concerned look on her as you step out of the bathroom.
"I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the answer's no."

"Yeah, its all been a bit too much recently. Then there's all this." You gesture to your new body as you seat yourself back on the couch. "Has Tattletale told you about what's going on?"

She looks embarrassed as she answers. Or maybe its Pity. She sits down next to you as the
"Yeah, she said that you're changing, your power fucks with your body somehow when you get hurt. She told the Undersiders and our gang about it. She said you found a way around it though, what happened to that?"

You actually do let out a harsh laugh at that, bending forwards and chuckling into your hands as your emotions well up, spilling outwards in your body's customary response to fear and uncertainty.

"I had a way sure, but it's not a fix. All I can do is stave the changes off. Unless I figure out a way soon...

"Barnaby."

You look up at that, you've never actually heard her use your name before, she usually either calls you boss or your cape name. It's just unexpected enough to pull you out of your mind's dark recesses. She puts her arm around you as she continues to talk, her voice as stern as it can be.

"I know it seems really bad right now, but you can't let your head get into a bad space like this. If you let this beat you then you will turn into some horrible monster, or go nuts or whatever. But it's your goddamn power, and you're a Tinker who does chemicals. Even if you can't you it alone there's all sorts of other things that can be done as well." She stops for a second, seeming to decide on her next few words. "People actually really like you, Somehow you even got Armsmaster to think you're alright to work with. You have people who can help you find a way past this."

The words help, and it's been a while since someone touched you who wasn't trying to kill you, so the one armed hug definitely makes things better. You stay like that for a while, and eventually your laughter stops.

our final chemical weapon should be a varient of Smilex that permanently transforms people into cluwnes

>>2581353
IIRC while it's not necessarily applicable to clown-bomb, anything that reproduces stuff with powers is a quick way to get labeled as an S-class threat which essentially means an kill order on us. Which means we should be very careful with stuff like the black goo since that is an easy way to get on the PRT shitlist.

theres not really a power associated with being a cluwne.

Yeah, it was more of a general warning against bio/chemical stuff that changes people. I.E I'm pretty sure if we weaponized the black goo we'd get put on the S-list right next to Nilbog and Echidna.

>High level duplicators and villains who operate to any exponential degree are automatically considered S-class if their powers generate more instances of power generation or recurring effect in an epidemic pattern.

Given the shit we've made so far it's easily within our ability to make stuff that would provoke an Endbringer level response.

You wanna talk about that?

Hey 4chan, Zion here.

I've been going over the last few threads and rereading the quest, and a lot of mistakes are honestly beginning to stand out. I kinda screwed up the powerlevels and how I deal with time and tinkering.
So I've been thinking of starting over, making a better job of it another time around.
I thought I'd bring this up now, because there's a lot I'm not happy with so far in my system and how I've done things.

I'm still going to run a quest of course, but finding ways to challenge you guys and provide a fun quest is starting to get exhausting. I think I misjudged the difficulty for stuff early in the beginning, and now you have all of this cool stuff and teammates. While It's cool and all. I think you got too powerful in far too short of a timeframe and now I can't really come up with anything to throw at you that will be engaging.

what do you think?

>>2590851
I think your brave(?) for stating this, and will probably get lambasted a little, however if you feel you can do a better job and still have fun, then please do start anew. Anons will still come to read your work.

I just hope you keep some of the characters, so we have something from this series of threads to make it more a continuation instead of a fully blank slate.

You going to start anew today or..?

>>2590854
I would be starting the new thread today yes.

>>2590860
I really wouldn't mind it. I felt the quest was going a bit too fast and that some things could've been done in a more detailed and balanced way.

Pls don’t remove all our meme work if you want to start again go ahead, but it will turn people off, such as myself, honestly why bother adding to the thread if the QM is going to change it half a dozen threads later

>>2590860
>>2590851
Although i admit things were starting to get a little bit to fast. Both in revelation about our powers and other relations, i feel there was little social damage due to our behaviour. Maybe you could just make the Undersiders go away thinking it's to dangerous to be around Manic?Leaving us with just Piper, Kazuma and Rebecca and the no-caped gang members.

But you do what you want man. Iliked the ride and were we were going, mostly, but this is still your quest.

>>2590854
Take it from someone who reads quests for the story - yours is in a good spot. If there's things in the crunch you'd like to change, I think most players would be accomodating with that. A lot of QMs shift from d20 to d100 after a few threads, for example.

Now if you, like >>2590870 are worried about powercreep, I think the upcoming Leviathan fight would be a good way to take away our early-game advantages (base, materials and gang), and introduce more difficulty in the story.

>>2590851
To be fair, a lot of our victories have been with pure luck of us getting 20s a lot of the time. Not to say we didn't start a bit too strong in my opinion (Us awakening to tinkering and being a super gymnast felt a bit too OP for me personally, if we were going to get a second power I'd prefer to get it later down the line)

I'd suggest you change the dice to 100d instead of 20d to avoid criting our way through everything. Anyhow, keep up the good work. I really do enjoy your work

>>2590851
Honestly, if we're talking videogame terms, we just kinda powered through a prologue into the start of the game meat.

Core mechanics of having a crew + need to juggle responsibilities has just begun.

Things came "easy" because of the number of 20s sinking into this quest, can be minimized with a 1d100.

Essentially, we're not OP just yet, so it's definitely possible to continue from here with a difficulty up. retcon/nerf some abilities if you have to. Make it such that planning and dealing with continuous oppressive forces becomes more concerning.

Have attacks on us not necessarily be direct against Manic/crew anymore. Strike at the resources. Military has tooth and tail ratio for a reason: Resources to support the fighting force is a necessity.

Even if anons bitch about you restarting, they're all still gonna read it and vote and make write ins. I've suggested before that we switch either to d50 or d100. My main concern is that you'll get burnt out retreading old ground. Are we gonna go with joker as MC again or do you want to do something different? I wouldn't mind a different gotham villain, ala two face or penguin, or even mr.freeze.

Alright, I have decided that I will be starting again. Not to say that the anons against it haven't got a point, but I think it'd be a bit better to give it another go now that I have learnt a bit more about writing.

I actually had a few different powersets set up for you guys in the beginning, I'll make some tweaks and go with those.

I really think I can do this a lot better if I give it another go around.

dropped my name.

>>2590935
Wait do you mean restarting the quest or?

>>2590933
Awesome. I think I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait.

>>2590938
yeah.

>>2590944
cool.
Are you do the joker thing or somthing diferent

>>2590945
Barnaby's canon voice has always been Mark Hamill's joker voice, but you aren't locked into anything. There will be other powersets available (or none at all potentially)

>>2590949
ohh nice i have always wondered what we sound like

>>2590949
Did you see >>2583642 and >>2587291
I think you should get to fixing that at one point instead of losing this to the archive sea.

>>2590959
I tried, but the irc thing doesn't work for me so i dont know what to do about it.

>>2590962
Get someone else in the Discord that has IRC working for them to do it? Because people have done this before, and it's worked out thanks to the site owner, so yeah.

>>2590963
I put out a message in the discord.

>>2590967
