>>2603322
Sounds good to me. Get original up in this shit.

>>2603318
Or we are creating a new Barnaby to join the Void Barnaby.

You can feel your body twisting as he walks up the stairs, your muscles rearrange and bulk on your body as you stretch outwards. It's painful, agonising even but you stay silent through it all as you convulse on the floor. You're used to pain, you can take it.

There is far more pressing matters than your pain, you have to get up.

He's going to hurt Michael.

Void would also bound the wards and the E88 members he brougth, with him. So i guess if everyone wants to get back home they will need to listen to Barnaby shard (Barnaby included).

You slowly pull yourself off of the floor, it's difficult but you barely manage. The first thing you notice is height. You're got to be nearly eight foot tall now.

DC was 30

He's at the entrance to the bedroom now, pushing it open with his usual lack of tact.

Your mind fills with all manner of cruelties to inflict upon him, You have knives in the kitchen, table legs for clubs and so many other ways of causing him pain. It's going to be Divine

There's knives in the kitchen.
A table leg will do. you're in a rush.

Don't kill him, we're not like that.

Suck a fat one, he beat us like a drum for fun. Time we had ours.

In front of Mike? That's not something we can take back. There'll be the coppers on us for sure, even the Protectorate if they figure out we're Gifted.

Shit, yeah. Okay, I won't kill him. Just quit your whining and let me enjoy this in peace yeah?

Nobody'd blame you for laying hands on him.

Oh, your wish is my command.

Fine, you'll just scare him a little.
You stomp heavily as you walk towards him, each footstep landing heavily on the bare wooden floor. Your boots are heavy work things, and that combines with your newfound weight to make damn your footsteps damn near thunderous in tone. You can see Father turn now and double take, his feral grin draining from his face.

Yet..so far.

You take another step forwards, then Father seems to regain his wits. He charges at you and takes you off balance, pushing you backwards into the living room and pushing you against the wall. He lands a hard punch into your gut, but you retaliate with a knee to his stomach. You unfold your leg as he staggers back and land another kick to his ribs that keeps him away. The two of you meet again in a flurry of punches, your new physique is impressive but he's a Dockworker, and has built up a lot of muscle.

A hook catches you in the stomach forces you sideways, but no sound comes from your mouth. He's weaker than you now. You're still aware of the pain, you still feel the bruises and the cracked rib. But you don't react to even the most solid blows, and that's starting to intimidate him.

But why even offer a choice? If anon has a chance to be a good guy they will leap at it over anything else even if it backfires and fucks them over.

You see what happens next almost in slow motion, the adrenaline from the fight overrunning your mind. You reach out your right hand to grab a glass from the nearby table, while he reaches into a trouser pocket and comes out with a revolver. you push yourself forwards and grab for it, but he's too quick and you take a bullet to the shoulder. Another bullet hits your hand as it closes over the revolver, blowing off several fingers.

Yet you persist. The two of you fall backwards onto the floor, rolling and wrestling for control of the weapon. You can't let him hold onto that for any longer, you can't trust a madman with something that dangerous. You're weakening, and your right arm is engulfed in agonising pain.

You wrestle for control of the gun, both you and your father have your hands clasped about the gun. The two of you are on the floor now, you're on top of him and pushing the revolver to the side desperately. He's pushing it forwards and keeping it between you, trying to get a shot.

You can't do it, you're losing too much blood, and you're too wounded. In the end, you can't push it out the way.

You change the direction of your struggle, forcing the gun downwards before squeezing hard on the hand that holds the gun. The revolver's report damn near deafens you, and you jerk backwards as blood spurts all over the wall.

He's gone, dead.

Finally, you're all free.
But people will have heard the gunshot, and you've just killed a man in his own home.

Here's hoping there is more to our power than just being a muscle brute, given while brutes can be fun being one low tier enough to be damaged this heavily by a gun and left struggling in melee against someone without powers would be a pretty bad sign for our long term survival.

>>2603598
We are a brute but apparently we have some innate knowledge about weapons. Se up when it says we have a voice that tells us how it can guide us to "make anything as a weapon".

Good god what is with the rolls in this thread?!? You've only gotten three rolls above 40!

>>2603610
*Brute/Thinker
We don't tinker, we're just supposed to be really good with anything that could be a weapon, it seems.

we're probably a brawler/thinker. the voice tells us of ways to use anything as a weapon, but not how to make them

>>2603617
>>2603612
>>2603613
So...we are the Punisher?

I suppose a low tier brute with thinker elements will be useful, though it would seem unarmed combat isn't an area where it offers much proficiency. Hopefully we either heal when returning to normal or have a solid healing factor otherwise losing most of our fingers on one hand really fucks our ability to use weapons effectively. Still here's hoping there's a bit more depth to discover about this power and how it ties into this other personality or entity we've got.

You pull yourself shakily to your feet, then head towards your brother's room. You have to make sure he's okay, it's your responsibility. You rest your hand against the doorframe as you look in, they're both in there. Ma and Mike are huddled up against the opposite wall as you enter, the both of them pushing themselves as far away from the door as possible.

Neither of them seem injured either, so that's a good thing. You lean against the wall, your uninjured arm holding you up.

"Wait, ma. That's Barn."

They're staring now, the two of them slowly rising across from you.

What do you say? What could you say?

You need to leave, you'll take some money and go. There's no way of proving that Father attacked you and not the other way around.

I guess so, some short stories until Void Knight screws everything up with his ones and ever consuming black hole

Alright, so here’s how this will work. At the end of each thread I will give you a choice between what we do next. Like this.
One bad day
Fear and loathing
Third timeline that is yet to be determined.

Occasionally there will be interdimensional fuckery a la crisis on infinite earths. Those threads will be titled Void Knight.

>>2604320
I like this way of going about things. If we ever end up finishing this quest, it might very well be legendary only because fully 100% finished quests are as rare as they come

>>2604320
I do not like this way of doing things. I'm pretty sure it'll feel inconsistent and unnatural, and I'll get salty when anons don't vote for the timeline I want. Nonetheless, I'll tough it out because I trust in your writing skills.

>>2604361
Yeah, this seems like a really unfocused way of handling things. I'd personally really rather go with just a single universe rather than a multitude of different timelines that we're constantly shuffling between.

>>2604361
>>2604370
Fair enough, the other option is we stick with this one. And then eventually the multiverse stuff will happen, but you retain control of this Barnaby.

>>2604320
I like the crisis of infinite bets , the issue that I’m having with it it’s that we will change barnabys faster that you can say hot dog , then having the character die and feel like we accomplished nothing

>>2604394
I like this premises though, I've never done anything like this before and it'd be exciting to see how we fuck up multiple universes till all those fuck ups collapse into each other.

There exist a legend, when multiple parahumans named "Barnaby Campbell" all fuck up at the same time. When this occurs an anomaly happens and these universes collapse in on each other, creating the Worm Multiverse

>>2604401
Not really, I predict that each barnaby will work like a Life. Once Void Knight fucks everything up and all of these universes become one we'll have multiple Barnabys at once

>>2604415
Or we could do this, where each Barnaby is a life, and if you run out of barnaby’s the quest ends.

>>2604394
Personally I'd prefer sticking with each timeline for a bit and getting to a better stopping point, essentially give them an arc then swap over. Though even with that it seems best to keep it to just the three timeline approach (plus the occasional tie-in with Void Knight stuff).

Is void knight just our alternate universe evil form?

>>2604394
Why are you dropping black hole Barnaby? Was it just too fucked? Because you could've made it so it wasn't too fucked. Make it so not as many people died, it's barely even a retcon since you haven't written the consequences of the roll yet.

>>2604519
He wasn't dropped, he's doing some inter dimensional bullshit right now. Just enjoy the multiverse and this Victoriverse

>>2604394
I'd rather keep jumping from one to another then back to another previous one, etc. etc. etc. until the Barnabys are assembled, and we get inter-protag interactions going.

We can also do barnabys in diferente universes like marvel and dc

While I definitely wasn't a fan of the idea initially, I've taken a bit of a breather and got my thoughts organized past knee jerk saltiness.

I still don't like it that much but as long as we keep it to three timelines it shouldn't get too crazy. Maybe keep switching timelines to only after an arc or major battle is done like another anon suggested.

>>2605212
>Nope, he's too busy trying to not die.
Come to think of it, how does one kill Manic!Barnaby? He mutates whenever he takes too much genetic fragmentation, and can auto-heal either way.

>>2605216
>I still don't like it that much but as long as we keep it to three timelines it shouldn't get too crazy. Maybe keep switching timelines to only after an arc or major battle is done like another anon suggested.
Switching to catch up to the timeline, or starting at where the others left off relative to their timeline?

>>2605220
I can't really decide because on the one hand going through the same story beats can get a bit boring but on the other hand I really want to see how a Leviathan fight would go in the 1800s compared to how it would go for Manic.

Alright, I’ve been looking at the responses, and I reckon the best thing to do is probably something like this.
Do a few threads as each Barnaby until we hit a natural end point. Then I’ll give you guys a chance to switch.

Apparently Maniac! Barn is getting there with Pancakes, but isn't there yet.

You're gonna have to take this one buddy, I gotta tag out.

Wait, what?

Yeah, If you don't take over here I'm gonna die soon. Sorry. Just call when you want me back.

Jack blacks out, and Barnaby awakens. Mom and Mike watch as the man before them shrinks down, losing muscle mass and height until the gangly teenage boy returns. They move forwards once you've changed, but slowly and clearly terrified from the fight. Then they move, Mom grabs you and pulls you into a hug as Mike stands back, still clearly shocked by Father's death.

You're still bleeding, but it slows as your transformation completes. You'd heard of Gifted who could regrow parts of their bodies, but it seems like you've no such luck. Your pinky finger is gone, and your ring finger's tip is missing too.

"Oh christ, call a doctor Mike." Mom's tone is shaky as she covers the bullet wound in your shoulder, shaking your younger brother of his malaise. He turns to head out but stops at the entrance to the living room, giving you enough time to...

Get him to stop, you can't go to a proper hospital. They might have tests for if you're Gifted. The old man from the apartment above you says he was a medic in the army.
Get him to stop, it'd be safer if you went with him. better to only make one trip.
Get him to stop, you'll handle this yourself. All you need is some bandaging.

This Mr. Hyde half of ours...
Could they possibly be named Jack Napier?

>>2605353
...Goddammit.

Gerald Higgs is an older man, who spent a lot of time in the army before settling down with his family. These days he lives off of his savings mostly, and patches people up if they get hurt. He's also mentioned more than once that you could just ask if you needed help, so you reckon that this probably counts. He paid you and Mike to help him with housework sometimes as well, so you're pretty well acquainted.

The three of you stagger out of the front door and into the stairwell, Mom holding you up and helping you to walk. Upon leaving, you can see almost the whole building looking out of doorways or clustered in the hallway outside your door, fear and anger on their faces. There's the Andersons from downstairs, the patriarch of which is standing outside with his two sons, a shovel in his hands. Mr Holden is there with his boys as well, brandishing wooden clubs. That's just the people you're familiar with too, you can see a good three or four other families as well, women and children looking on as the men ready themselves for action.

And at the front of it all is Gerald, a single barreled shotgun held tightly in his hands.

The crowd seems surprised when you exit, and their expressions quickly change from fury to relief as they look on at the three of you.

"Oh thank god they're okay."
"They aren't, look at Barnaby."
"What kind of bastard turns a gun on his family?"

Then Higgs intervenes, getting everyone back on track.
"What are you waiting for? The boy's been shot, get him up to my apartment."

Unfortunately for you, there's an unfortunate side effect to walking into a room full of people.
Higgs dotes on his daughter, if she were hurt he'd lose his mind to grief
Mr Anderson's a coward, a good loud roar would frighten him off. But he does even worse with pain.
Holden did something when he was younger that he's kept secret his whole life, imply you know what it is.

Your mind keeps telling you these terrible things, practically screaming how you ought to go about terrifying the lot of them, so much so that you're having trouble focusing enough to put one foot in front of the other. It feels like your head's going to explode from the sheer insistence of the thoughts..

That would be cool. I was thinking that between the 2 of us we would find out how to kill ANYTHING.

>>2605399
ANYTHING can be a weapon anon. Even information specialy one that tells a person weakness.

Well, we still don't know how the power works with parahumans, it might just tell emotional weaknesses.

Oh god Barnaby and tats could be evil psychiatrists and just destroy each hero emotionally. Just like Coco Watch out.

I'm not sure if the comparision works since Tattletale is a villain and this Barnaby hasn't turned into a crime lord yet, so neither of them lend to much to each side. But if I had to choose, Barnaby is the Moriarty.

>>2605510
Eeh, I've only seen the kind of shitty movie but I like the individual works if that's something.

>>2605514
Yeah, his power just screams "villain". He hulks out, and he knows how to hurt anybody with everything he can use, including his words. That shit's pretty cool.

>>2605548
Have we ever had a hero power though?

>>2605548
>>2605552
No such thing as a hero power really, any power can be used to hurt people. Unless you have Captain Planet Heart powers or something, but those aren't in Worm.

>>2605555
Regents dad begs to differ.

>>2605555
>What are Master powers.

>>2605555
Actually heart powers can be used to manipulate/dominate people. Not just control animals. One of the main reasons planet uses it only to comunicate but the power can be easily used to corrupt someone.

You focus on your laces, shutting out the voices as you're pulled up the stairs by Higgs. The crowd moves in to help as well, sitting the other members of your family down and helping to calm them. One family brings out mugs of coffee for the two of them, and they reassure them both. "Don't worry love, he'll be alright."
"Yeah, Barnaby's a tough kid, he'll pull through just you see."
"Gerald needs his space, best you stay down here while he works on your boy."

Then you're through into Higgs' living room, the old medic pulling you down on a moth-eaten couch while he buzzes about getting some tools. He returns about a minute later, with a bag of what you assume to be medical appliances and a bottle containing a green liquid.
"I would normally use the whisky, but I got my hands on some Absinthe a while ago and thought it might work better for something like this. Now open up, you don't want me operating on you without it I assure you."

You comply, taking a swig of the unfamiliar alcohol and spluttering, coughing as the man above you laughs. "Yeah, that's the spirit lad. I was wondering if I could get anyone to actually drink that stuff. Heh."

He removes your shirt, handing it back to you as he heats the end of a needle.

"Now bite down on that, this is going to hurt a bit."
It really does, more than you expected actually.

The surgery takes a while, your fingers are easy to sew back up but your shoulder is a bit more difficult for the man. Luckily the bullet came out the other side so he doesn't have to remove it, but it does mean that Higgs has to sew up the exit wound as well as the entrance.
"You're bloody lucky you know, half an inch to the right and you'd have bled out."

"Have you thought about what you'll tell the coppers? What's your plan lad? You know that someone will have called them by now right, gunshots travel farther than most people think."

I'm not telling them anything, I have to leave. I'm Gifted, and if they figure that out then i'll be press ganged by someone, it's too dangerous for me to stay here with Mom and Mike.
I have to leave, I can't tell you why, but I do.
I'll tell them the truth, the whole damn building'll back me up. You all knew what he did.
I'll lie, tell them it was a break in and that me and Father got hurt fighting him off, or something like that.

What we did was still definitively self-defense, even stopping a case of brutal domestic violence with the intention of using nonlethal force would be fairly permissible.

The main question is whether we want to try joining the protectorate. (I doubt there are wards what with child labor still being the norm)

>>2605622
What group would you suggest we join? Our power is not the sort which lends itself well to working solo. Personally I'm open to joining up with a villainous group as long as its more pragmatic villains, but I'd rather we try to have a hero version of Barnaby. (granted this power seems to be pushing us towards villainy)

>>2605624

>leave, but don't tell him why.

>>2605631
The Undersiders are considered villains but they only fight other gangs. The problem with this is having to deal with Coil.

ABB is a no because we aren't chinese. E88 doesn't exist yet, or at least they must be composed by a group of nationalist (like in the new york gangs were there is a group against the foreigners taking their jobs). We could start our own gang to?

Why does Zion/VOID keep giving us villainous powers?

>>2605627
i guess telling the truth wins. Let's roll with this then.

>>2605631
>>2605639

*cough* or anti-hero *cough*

Instead of simply repelling villainy, we can end it at its roots by systematically disassembling both them and their plans with our powers.

There is no such thing as a "villainous" power. Nor is there such a thing as a "heroic" power. Powers are just tools and no tool subscribes to morality in itself.

>>2605639
To be fair last time people choosed the OP gravity powers. Besides this is worm, a grimdark setting everything can be turned villanous.
