The Loricae buy a house. (They would just as soon not buy it from Tattletale, thanks, game night is not the same level of entanglement as major financial transactions and they haven't settled out the continent thing.) Sarcina colonizes the entire attic level as her workshop, claims all their tech from the PRT that she retained the rights to in the first place, and gets started on making a complete set of implants for everybody.

Assuming they can all use them. And suits. Which is not obvious. They do some powers testing. Can Plumata turn herself into a bird and back? If she does, do dummy test implants pop right out? Does it include her clothes?

Permalink

She can transform herself, clothes and implants included. Bulkier things, like her old armor, won't transform with her.

Permalink

And what does going poof do?

Permalink

And what the heck

Permalink

are the mystery powers??

Permalink

Going poof explodes her into a cloud, apparently! She takes up the entire house, spills out onto the street, and seeps into some neighboring houses as well.

She can sense everything the cloud is touching, and move it albeit very slowly. 

If she wants to unpoof she can do so in any spot within her cloud-self, sucking it all back up into her normal form.

Permalink

Well that's kind of dumb but maybe it will have hidden depths. Does it take implants and clothes?

Permalink

Yup, powers are (sometimes) convenient like that. No bulky suits though.

Permalink

Yes, yes, she's on it, slimfit suits for Plumata and Zephyr.

One of the two Loricae with more confusing powers can grant ... something? It's not clear what - none of the Loricae can tell that anything is happening except for the other mystery power Lorica, who can apparently sense that there's something being granted, and can also prevent it from being granted as well as changing the speed at which it stops working, whatever it is.

Permalink

Do any of their buddies want to volunteer to be granted something, since it doesn't seem to work on other Loricae?

Permalink

Tattletale doe- okay Tattletale has way too much to do right now. 

Permalink

Lucien has the time.

"So what are we doing here exactly?"

Permalink

"If I knew it wouldn't need to be done. It doesn't seem to work on us, so it's probably mind-affecting, but the other one without her own nickname yet thinks it's not otherwise harmful."

Permalink

"K, hit me I guess?"

Permalink

Boop?

Permalink

"Huh, I feel... normal? Maybe a bit tired."

"Huh, not physically tired though! More like 'I should sleep' tired. Which is weird since normally my powers prevent that?"

Permalink

"- that's weird, why would I have a power to put you to sleep that doesn't actually... put you to sleep..."

Permalink

"I'm not sure. If all else fails you can wait till Tattletale has time and see if she can figure it out?"

Permalink

"She doesn't work on me, does she? Would she work on this anyway somehow?"

Permalink

"Her inferencing works on you fine? She doesn't read minds or anything."

Permalink

"Huh, I thought she was at least a little impaired. Yeah, let's ask her if nothing becomes obvious by the time she's got a minute."

Permalink

"If she's impaired she hasn't mentioned it to me."

Permalink

"I wish I knew what my thing did. I poke it sometimes, I think it's some kind of Trump thing because I can do it 'at' Plumata and this'un and also Castra for some reason even though her power doesn't affect people at all, but it doesn't do anything in reaction to Sarcina or Zephyr."
