@ilovesheep828sheep - I actually would probably loose, but you’re inactive so no one disputes me when I lie and say that I won

Mutuals I could not beat in Chess:

@kifflekiffkiff - scary pfp, still. I can’t see thru my tears before the chess match begins. @germesthegenie- I call the Knight a horse, and you gently correct me, and I feel awkward about being dumb, so I forfeit. @siulas-10 - I think you would be a normal chess player, but I’m a below average chess player @rebel-sqrrl -I beg really hard for you to let me win, but you beat me ruthlessly. @goldenmotive - generally smart. @cpericardium - Peri would queens gambit rook knight punch my head off, which isn’t allowed, but the chess organizer lets it slide anyways because the chess system is corrupt @benssecondatyempt - I think you know a lot. You might know chess stuff. @notalittleatall - too witty. In the first half, you think I’m doing some secret play. In the second half, you realize that I am stupid and you beat me. @thesternest - general gamer. @bluebstopcat I think I could stall out a tie, but I don’t know how chess ties work so you beat me @heural - I try to cheat to win, but it fails and I’m caught, and the police take me away for that @cardboardinferno - this is where I find out you’re secretly a chess pro, either that or you rip the tendons out of my chess playing arm @heyitschartic - you would beat the absolute shit out of me lmfao. @dagda-the-doodler - you cast a evil spell on me, it’s unrelated to chess.

I find this an incredible idea. We start playing a separate game of chess, both of us have strategies going in that we completely forget by the third turn. We had to keep track of whose turn it was with a little black tile we passed back and forth.

Somehow, without even realizing it, I BEAT THEM. Greatest moment of my life.

Let me tell you about...

A member of a prolific crime family, Wallie never received much in the way of true love, care, or attention from them. He was constantly brushed aside, pushed away, left behind. Wallie craved that love. Was desperate for it.

One day, someone gave him that love. He met someone who loved Wallie for Wallie, allowed him to have space to breathe and be himself. It pulled him away from his family, away from the business. And his brother did not approve.

Wallie triggered when he was called to a meeting with his brother, and entered the room to see his brother standing over the corpse of his partner, freshly murdered. "Now you can come back to the family, Wallie. No more distractions."

Powers:

Pocco Rosso has a Master/Stranger power, where he can pick a target and influence their view of him. To that target, he is their little ray of sunshine, their friend, and they want the best for him. They'd be willing to volunteer information, or sit still and carry things out for him if he asked in a convincing enough way. Like Wallie's brother, sitting still and smiling while Wallie beat him to death.

Corbin came from a family of funeral directors, and therefore learned about death at a very young age. It was a scary thought, not waking up one day, but one easily overcame, like spiders or the dark. He didn't think much of it.

Until his very first funeral. His great-grandfather had died. He hadn't known him personally and was more bored by the ceremonies. When it was over, he went to get up and go set up the funeral dinner - it wouldn't take care of itself, after all. Until harsh, cold hands clamped down on his shoulder. His grandmother was furious with him for not saying goodbye to the body.

Marching him up, Corbin was hurt by the scolding, but more afraid of what he would see. Forced up to the casket, he saw it. The body of his great grandfather. Suddenly this nebulous fear was very real. This cold, chemically preserved hunk of meat was once his grandfather. Fears overtook him, thoughts of himself dying, not becoming a person anymore, becoming something not human. Becoming that. Corbin triggered in the car after the funeral, tissues all over the floor of his mom's car.

Powers:

Darkstar has a Breaker power with Mover/Stranger/Master capabilities. He shifts into a being made of smoke, fast and agile, hitting hard. The longer he stays in this form, the more immaterial he becomes and the faster he can move. His hits also become less and less physical and more and more emotional, till he is nothing more than a powerfully fast wisp of air that emotionally paralyzes its victims.

(This is my partner @siedertreestudios's character!)

Oscar was always a little bit of a coward, scared of most things. But he absolutely hated rollercoasters. Of course, his friends one day all talked him into going to Warp World anyway, and he couldn't bring himself to say no. After a full day of declining rides, he finally relents to go on a swing ride. Swing rides aren't so bad, right?

Until he sees it. Towering above the rest of the park. The tallest swing ride he's ever seen. He's panicking harder than he was before, but it's too late to back out now. As he and his friends are buckled in, he sees three teenage boys doing the stupidest thing imaginable and locking arms, going against the safety guidelines. Soon enough, they knot and their laughs become screams of terror. In trying to separate, they only tangle more swings together, forming a crushing human wrecking ball that only gets faster and faster with each swing.

As it comes towards Oscar and his friends, he, one of his friends, and one of the teenage boys all trigger at the same time.

Powers:

Goldberg's primary power is a Thinker ability: Able to see the exact steps necessary to form complicated domino effects that result in a powerful effect at the end. This can apply mechanically, in combat, or even socially, knowing just the right words to say to invoke a particular emotion.

His secondary mover power comes from his friend; Goldberg has the ability to subtly alter the momentum of either himself or someone around him, speeding them up to around slightly faster than Usain Bolt, or slowing them down to nearly a standstill.

His tertiary power is a brute power, courtesy of the teenage boy. He becomes increasingly dense, but only only when he is hit with hard, blunt objects. The harder he is hit, the denser he gets. Like oobleck! But also like oobleck, if he's hit with a small, concentrated force, like a bullet, his skin will fracture and shatter. He'll survive, but he'll be out of the fight.

Skippy was a figure skater. He was always good on the ice, and his parents supported what they thought was his dream, to one day go pro, maybe even Olympic. He liked it at first, practicing hard, going over the routines over and over again. But eventually pressure started to settle in over the last year. He was finally going to compete in a national competition. But it was too much. Everything was closing in on him.

Eventually, the last practice before the competition was rained out, unsafe to drive to the rink. But he had to practice. He had to. So he went back to the first ice lake he first skated on. The thickness was fine, but he set to practicing for hours. Till well after the sun went down. He didn't even notice the ice weakening until the ice cracked and gave way, dragging him into the sink below. He triggered there, under the ice, as his chance to be what he thought he wanted melted away.

Powers:

Albedo has a Nursery-esque Shaker power, where as long as he stays in an area, mirrors start appearing around him. At first he can only traverse between the mirrors that have line of sight with each other, but the longer he stays, any enclosed space becomes as though it were a hall of mirrors. He can strike from multiple different mirrors and angles at once, creating temporary copies of things thrown or shot from within the mirrors. At the peak of his power, he can swap what mirrors are reflecting what. If a mirror he is within is shattered, all mirrors are shattered and the effect must begin again.

(I know these don't super fit the trigger as well, it would more likely be something like a Tinker/Changer power, but the player of this character hasn't read Worm yet and didn't super like that power so I gave him some leeway and came up with something different he liked!)

Albedo wears an opaque chrome mask, and body armor that similarly is covered in reflective surfaces. He carries mirrors with him that he can set up before his power fully saturates an area.

Let me tell you about...

storyboarding sequence!!! this is,, not entirely canonical to the story anymore, but the vibes are there and the general plot beats are still correct

-

characters featured; Muriel and Teddy

THANKS XX MILDRED

~~~

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.
