Question The Micro-Scenes Discussion thread

The Micro-scenes are NEVER canon. There are a few micro-scenes by the Canon Cabal that were later incorporated into canon stories; and in some even rarer cases some elements from some of the non-Cabal stories were referenced in the canon stories.

But anything in the Micro-scene thread is NOT canon; at best a very, very few elements later worked their way into it.

I am not even a canon author, so I'll take your concern as a complement. I am sometimes a cannon author, however, but I will neither confirm nor deny whether this story will ever affect or effect any sort of cannon. Definitely not canon though.

Sorry about your meal. I'll take that as another complement.

Now, Kettlekorn, you know that we're supposed to avoid writing microscenes that could plausibly show up in future canon stories.

Not technically dead. They preserved her brain and stuffed it into to her car. She now helps fight crime alongside a former lifeguard.

They're not even necessarily canon for the Fab Lab and WhatIF authors' continuities, for which their readers are likely to be very, very grateful.

A note as such might need to be added to the into post.
Most are well written to the point where they at least are within the waky possibilities of the Whatlyverse that they never really conflict much or at all with the normal stories or even wit each other.
So it left things in a gray aria where it seems like they aren't meant to be official but there wasn't anything that proved otherwise.

@Rose - Aww! So heartwarming! And the backstory's sorta creepy. Par for the course then!

Of course the biggest deal is the secret that none of the UV Banders admit to but they all know. Whenever they are involved in a fight, it is assumed THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR STARTING IT AND PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY. This is not common knowledge or, of course, it would be abused, but the administration generally doubles the punishment for a UV fighting, unless its on video of them being jumped, they are told THEY are responsible for deescalating things and withdrawing when they can't deescalate.

So, what's the suicide rate among red-band UVs after one to four years of "If it wasn't on film it didn't happen" and "Oops. The cameras went out again"?

Since you ask, zero. The kids put on the list as 'accidents' wise up and learn how to avoid situations that could turn bad or extract themselves from ones they didn't see coming. They usually are off the list before the year is out. The hard cases who are ultra violent for the LULZ like hurting other people, not themselves. And the ones who want to get control of themselves have ample resources to do so. so there's that. Not to mention with the extra attention these students get anyone self destructive is caught ahead of time and helped. They usually are off the list in year or two.

Adding on, Are all bands created equally?Or do they get diffrent treatment from security?

From the wiki -

Red/black letters = Rager
Black/red letters = Rager/Sadist
Green/red letters = Dangerous mutation
White/black letters = Probability warper
Blue = Don't provoke

That's why I limited the question to the ragers, who are punished as if they were in complete control from day one, even by people who should know better. Sure they pose a higher-than-average risk to those around them, but they also mostly seem to be acutely aware of that.

As it's been presented in canon and the wiki, Section 33 students likely can't come off the list unless their abilities are permanently neutralized. So, no pokey the atom bomb.

Then shouldn't that be called the Kimba band?

There's also the flip side to the UV category -- besides the "trouble magnets," there are also special armbands for students who are in particular danger, such as pacifists and Underdogs.

Yea your right, trouble maker is a better fit for that bunch. I was thinking about what it would take to get sucked into that many fights that they sit the student down and say "Hey, maybe don't stand next to the Unstoppable Speedsters and Immovable TK Superkids."

Then there are the "unofficial" subgroups to the Black with Red Lettering UV banded.

The "Fun Fight" group, they just enjoy fighting, there is usually nothing personal about it, but the better the fight the more the fun.

The "Bigots" group, these guys attack the minorities, usually the gays (or perceived gays)

The "Pain Givers" group, they just like hurting people, they target the easy to hurt.

The "Torture Club" group, they aren't into fighting, but are into torture.

And the sub unofficial groups.
The cute users. Those who harm all with the power of cute.
The Jericos. Those who harm all indiscriminately with the power of bad fashion.
The Ultra Hyper. (Keep away from sugar.)

They're not ragers (red) or sadists (black). Their powers aren't inherently dangerous (green) nor catastrophic beyond the immediate incident (blue), so my interpretation has been the white bands are left for those who, if you push past some point, will step in and the results won't be pretty - because their involvement means the threat level is much higher than previously thought.

Probably students like Jimmy T, who for moral or ethical reasons isn't likely to stand by placing bets, or else run away, while other students get beaten up to the point where they need hospital care to survive the night.

Or students like Sara, who have a target on their back, and can't afford to respond with non-violence to people trying to kill her or her friends (when she's on this plane of existence.)

But basically, the white-band category is the only one of the five left open for students who have killed before. That's why Metro qualified.

Great story!

Well on the eight hour ride yesterday, after she started talking about slender man, and her favourite song by Heather Dale which involves a black unicorn that will steal your soul, my Dad and I started to joke about the inevitable parent teacher interviews I'll have to deal with.

Teacher- "Did you know your daughter wants to become a chemist to blow things up?"
Me- "Yes, but she has promised not to blow up people or animals, because that would be cruel."
Teacher- "She talked about blowing up the world!"
Me- "True, but she won't because she realizes she won't have anywhere to keep her things, so we're safe."
Teacher- "She says that she just needs to get, and I quote, 'One of those things that floats up in space where astronauts live'.
Me- "Dammit!

Teacher: "So according to your daughter, she is afraid of dogs, because they might lick her face.
Me: "Yes, she's a fairly clean little girl and thinks that animals licking her is yucky.
Teacher: "And the coolest thing in the world, are car accidents. She showed us a picture she took of a car accident in show and tell today."
Me: "In her defense, there weren't any bodies or injured people in the car when she took that picture."
(She did take a very well done picture of a car accident during our trip, and showed it to her Mama, who was less than impressed with the subject matter.)

Principal: Your daughter had to do a presentation last week on space.
Me: Yes, I helped her get the pictures and with spelling and saying some of the words, but all the work was hers.
Principal: She told her grade two class what would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole.
Me: And... It was all accurate.
Principal: Ten parents have called me already saying their children are having nightmares of being ripped apart.
Me: You should be glad I didn't let her do her project on five ways the universe will end. She really wanted to do that one.

Teacher: "I asked the students to draw a mythical creature today in class.
Me: "Oh dear."
Teacher: "Your daughter drew a black unicorn, eating a soul, while Slenderman rode on its back and a dragon was burning down a castle, and a giant squid was trying to eat two people on a bike." (Don't ask)
Me: "Well... um.... At least she isn't limiting herself."
Teacher: "Here is a list of child psychiatrists, please contact at least one of them.

When I was in elementary school I had a book about what it would be like to take a trip to a black hole. I wish I knew what had happened to it...

Arcanist Lupus wrote: When I was in elementary school I had a book about what it would be like to take a trip to a black hole. I wish I knew what had happened to it...

Was it is a choose your own adventure type book where it would tell you to go to a specific page based off of your decision?

Nope. Just a regular illustrated kids book. It started out with something along the lines of "First off, you'd die. But ignoring that, this is what would happen..."

I don't know if Heather Dale has done a cover of 'Black Unicorn', but it was actually written by Alexander James Adams , and recorded (pre-transition, as Heather Alexander) for the Uffington Horse album Enchantment , so I am guessing that's the version she's listening to. It is also on the more recent album UnSeelie Self, and he still plays the song in concert, and a few concert videos are floating around YouTube. He also sings - usually right afterwards - Bob Kanefsky's parody 'White Unicorn'.

Thanks. I frequently mix up the two.

The way times have been changing, there just wasn't a place for them any more. It's a combination of bad luck, new prejudices, changing technologies, even changing folkways. At least this way, they've secured Abelyn a relatively safe place where she can come into her family inheritances. Ain't no way that anvil's going on the auction block while there's still a smith in the family as can use it!

She does have a family that hasn't forgotten about her - because family doesn't do that. They do have varying ideas on what's good for her and best able to make her happy... *twitch* Ah, family. Another reason her parents weren't keen on moving out sooner, and then options started dwindling too much too fast.

I just think that for someone who claims to like his job, he faces pretty much every assignment with considerable trepidation...

This is true, but think of it from his point of view. He's essentially an ordinary guy and he gets called to Whitman to fix a leaky pipe in that particular basement bathroom in Hawthorne, or deal with a ruptured valve on Puppet's poison filter. Cleaning up Host's bio-hazardous remnants is always a danger, she's a Regen 7, so if his suit were to get torn while cleaning up and he cut himself on a piece of jagged bone, He's at risk for regenerative cloning or worse. He might love his job, but it is a dangerous one, and he gets well compensated, in the form of hazard pay.

Hey Domo I think you forgot something in your little rant there. Alberta is part of the praries.

And BC doesn't really hate anyone other than Quebec and maybe Ontario. Most of us are kinda to stoned to much care about hating anyone.

Though we do think Alberta is kinda silly for having a standard tax rate across the board, the rich are able to maintain their lifestyle with a much larger proportion of their money taxed so the tax rate should be affected by how rich you are. That might just be me though, I am the child of accountants.

That wasn't a rant, if it was I would have mentioned Ottawa and it would have become a novella of complaints.
And Alberta likes to consider itself the best of the prairies, so many of the Albertans I've talked to go "Alberta and the prairies" when it comes up. Since Wind Dancer is from Alberta she's kept that attitude.

but really, who takes seriously a country with rodents on the back of their money?

It's all revenge for when we sent Benedict Arnold packing and he settled there, to which Canada apparently opted not to care at all.

Then once we gave them so much grief about it, that they started sending their worst back.

OK Rose, I had an idea for a character who would start to become any animal or plant that he ingested DNA from, and had to inject himself with human blood after eating so he didn't turn into his last meal.

Arcanist Lupus wrote: As promised in the foot eating thread:


Code name: Erysichthon

Erysichthon is only capable of deriving sustenance from human flesh. The more he eats of a person, the more he becomes like that person. This can lead to shapeshifting (physically and mentally) and the acquisition of mutant and non-mutant powers. In small quantities powers and abilities tend to stack, but if he eats too much of one person, Erysichthon starts to lose unrelated powers as he (or she, if Erysichthon is eating a girl) becomes more like his meal.

Actually, forget the first restriction. Erysichthon is capable of eating animals and plants. But if he does so, he becomes increasingly non-human. A normal human diet will slowly turn him into a weird plant-animal hybrid that eventually loses its sapience.

Oh, and before he manifested, Erysichthon was vegetarian.

(That said, I'm never going to use the idea, so if anyone else wants to run with it, be my guest.)

Now we get Donnie's powerset!

OMG. Motherlode is a... A Baby Factory! ... Did you read my Dague de L'esprit comment and get that idea? ... That would be such a mutation the Five Fold would want, for soldier-make! But that's a real sad power! Yep!

I have a daughter via my mother that genetically is my sister

Wait... wouldn't her daughter by her mother, be her mother's genetic twin? Or the result of the "births" are a genetic merger of the donor and the host? Also, with Host and... Tapeworm, I think Donnie's codename was, there's now two mother-ish mutants at Whateley!

... So, her sister doesn't have the MGC? ... Well, she's a baby. Even if she did, it wouldn't activate yet...

...

Kodiak soo needs to help Motherlode! ... I feel sorta bad for any mimic that gets Motherlode's power... Especially since I'm planning to have one interact with Lucy and Donnie...

I thought it would be more amusing for Sara to eat Hekate and her Master, because chibis are small.

my bad, I thought it was you.

@Mal.... I figure the way Motherlode's power works is that the offspring receives 50% of the donor's DNA, and 50% of hers, The special thing about her DNA is that it alters to become the genotype of the donor. so if she were to pet a rabbit, she would get 50% rabbit, and her donation would alter to become rabbit DNA.

In the case of her sister, 50% of the genetic material was from her mother, the 50% that came from her would adapt to provide the genes of a male genetic donor.

So it would either be her DNA, but as if she were male, or else possibly it would pass along her father's DNA.
The power testing group want to run tests on her, to see how exactly it works... but understandably, she has balked at that idea.

Whoops. Forgot to say that I read your previous posts on her genetics stuff! Sorry!

She can interact with the non-biologicals, like Porcelain, Shebot, Eldritch, Absinthe's fairies, Shroud, etc, right?

And there's a lower limit to the amount of biologicals that triggers her power? 'Cause she isn't generating bacteria, or a small mites in dust or the people whose dead skin cells are in dust...

Or the food she eats...

So a constant PK field would be the solution to her problems... Which might be easier than other PFGs, 'cause it just needs to be skintight?

So there's that.

it has to be actual animal DNA from a living source, plants, fungus, etc don't affect her. She isn't going to have a calf if she has a steak. so far she has demonstrated that insects do cause a reaction, but somehow She isn't bothered by the microscopic mites and such that all people have on their skin. So there must be a size component as well.

Rose Bunny wrote: it has to be actual animal DNA from a living source, plants, fungus, etc don't affect her. She isn't going to have a calf if she has a steak.

What if we borrowed Josie Gillman's "cat", Schrödinger?

Or, since there appears to be a bit of shapechangery involved, it would be interesting if the offspring are born without genetic defects or hereditary diseases that the donor may have been carrying. That could turn out amazing... unless it turns out that they're all embryonic shoggoths masquerading as the offspring of the original animal until they're old enough to survive as themselves.

I'm just worried about how hungry she must be getting while sealed away. As it stands for how hungry she must be for just the amount of time she has bin sealed already she could be very very dangerous to unseal with out a lot of food nearby. Food that is people/things we can't care much about.

Real quick question: can I write a non-Whateley related story and put it in the Micro-Scenes thread?

That's happened every once in awhile.

'cuz I'm writing a short backstory for a D&D character and I realised they could fit as a Whateley character.

Cool! Good luck!

There's already one semi-forcibly-retired shadowrunner running around.

Liz Carson doesn't have that much pull, even with the Syndicate, before she'd be leaving jobs open that are past her moral event horizon but not his.

Malady wrote: Else, I'd say to buy him off?

The trouble is that Whateley Academy tuition for two, possibly three if his brother attends later on, is very expensive. The key would probably be to play on his very few loyalties and acknowledged obligations - because those trump cash.

Ok horse pies. Tansy's spirit must make quite a mess to.

Well! At least it wasn't salt liquorice and wasabi ice cream.
At that point, the wasabi might be an improvement.

Tom might be that or he might be

2. A WIZ student with GSD hamming up his origin story.

Not in canon, no. That was something I came up with in the older story. I think in the comments for that micro, I had said something about it being regarding an older brother [EDIT: yes, I did say something about that], but in canon there are no real details about her - that's why I chose her, actually, she was a blank slate and one unlikely to be filled later.

Malady wrote: So, she's getting help for Mary? Or something? Mary Goodhope, right?

Not Angel, a different Mary. Fire Forge (Mary Nestle) is the 12ft tall devisor whom Billie befriended while Team Kimba were doing detention after "Bottle a Jinn".

(I should mention that I had impression that she's one of the younger students, between 10 and 13, but I can't find anything indicating that in the wiki or the stories.)

Mrs. Cantrel was hovering near a girl who had to hunker down even in a room that had ten foot ceilings. She seemed to be a very pretty girl with a dark complexioned skin and fiery red hair. If not for her obvious size she’d be beating boys off with a big stick. As it was I figured she wasn’t getting too much attention in that department because most guys I knew were a bit uncomfortable with girls bigger than they were. Not to mention this much bigger.

“You think I’m good. You should hear my Uncle Tim tell stories. He’ll have you believing he found a ton of gold down in the coal mines and lost it to a wandering gambler who was really the Devil in disguise a few years back.”

“Sound like some interesting people. Do you miss them?”

Suddenly Mary got a look on her face that hurt just to see. Lou was there in a moment, putting his arms around her. It helped that his projection was as tall as she was now. He talked calmly to her as he held her.

“It’s okay Mary. You know they really didn’t do that to you. It was all some poison told to you by that snake who abducted you to hurt you. They really do love you and care for you. Give it some more time and you’ll be fine with it.”

“I... I’m sorry. Was it something I said?”

He looked at me while he continued to hold her.

“You couldn’t know in advance, but she was abducted by a pedophile a while back. While he was torturing her with stories about how her family had helped him, the mutation kicked in and she escaped before he could do any more. But, the scars of that fear are still with her and she’s had a hard time trusting her family again.”

At one point, I was going to make her the target of young Lars' unrequited crush. She's taller than his mother, but not that much taller. Besides, Mama's a bear shaman and recently broke up with her lover, Storebror's a magician dating outside his own genus, both are former (so they say) shadowrunners ... how can Mary not love the law-abiding white sheep of the family?

That might be the clue, but then again, pedophile is sometimes used for ephebophile...

If she is a Junior High, then we only don't have confirmation of the last girl in the 2007-2008 Junior High set... Guessing it's Less Than Three, though...

@Domo - Awww! So nice!

Five-inch titanium-reinforced stiletto heels

Are you really making stiletto heals, or stiletto knives?

That they could double as weapons...

Both, it seems.

A heel reinforced like that would be a brutal combat weapon. Especially when backed up by an exemplar 5+. Imagine if Hippy wore them and used her feet aggressively. You'd need reinforced steel to stop that if not something more exotic.

That's how she put it. Once you compare the overpressure needed to puncture the male skull, to the pounds per square inch achievable with a shoe being swung at arm's length... [ Edit: I'm 100% certain she was referring to my maternal grandfather, her former husband. ]

Bear in mind that Evelyn's a little self-conscious about being short for a troll, at eight-foot-nothing ... Well, shoes should make a "statement".

It does get confusing when some people do make remarks to themselves As if I don't, but there's also the possibility of psychic/magical discussion amongst characters:

'If you think that's confusing, try being me.'
'Care to swap my psych diagnoses while we're at it?'
'I'm not that overwhelmed by psychic chatter.'
'Good to know, Foob.'

... who could be sending email/SMS/etc. [00T @Cyberkitty: "BRB!"]
Or dealing with a summoned spirit as well 'Shouldn't you have thought about that long before now?'
'Could'a should'a would'a, but didn't.'

As to Talia, it's all part of the former Jay Declan making sure that she doesn't get lost in Hank's shadow. Plus, there's the language bonus of matching a bit with the boreal forest spirit's homelands ... And, last but not least, Talia al Ghul has a lot of that "Then always be Batman!" factor.

That's all been in Micro-Scenes. So far, in canon he's close to the age Hank was when he manifested, but nothing's been shown to have happened to him. For all we know, HE could be the cause of the Fullerton Event

MAN-1c is the easiest, 1: less than 50 lbs of easily damaged pollen is still a lot; c: it's entirely independent and separate
Also, people should be prepared for some mayhem if she gets decent control of a power that can be deadly if used with bad intent.

ESP-1 (hears plants, no control): it's a little bit mean since he still needs to eat plant materials

EX-3: In the "could be very good looking, but some weirdnesses come with the package" The low regen's nice to have too.

AV-2: I decided I wanted her to be somewhat survivable, with room to grow, so to speak.

I.e., Those are the chargen numbers. I left her at "just waking up to changes" in "Pictures of You" . This was one way I could go forward with the character. I've got another on-again-off-again idea that should send both Eldritch and Elyzia Grimes equally and simultaneously ballistic that's higher on the agenda.

It's totally non cannon. Even if a part of a post is mentioned in the main series the rest of that post and related ones chain would not exists unless it's also specifically mentioned. Now if the authors want to go through there posts and post a lot of them with a cannon anthology of micro scenes then that would be something else entirely.

With enough sunlight, efficient photosynthesis combined with low energy needs is great for producing (glucose) sugar. But how long can you go without ascorbic acid before you die of scurvy? Also, photosynthesis does not fix the nitrogen needed to create the amino acids needed to build proteins, so that becomes a mass balance problem that cannot be solved with only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the budget.

So, yeah. Talia eats plants and animals.

Even setting aside what you mentioned about nutrition, vitamins, etc., the 'enough' is the problem here, as even if She BreathesPhotosynthesizes Through Her Skin, there isn't enough skin. The reason plants have a lot of leaves, which are usually either very thin and wide (for deciduous plants) or in massive abundance (for evergreens), or both, is because it requires a huge amount of surface area to capture enough sunlight to produce enough sugars for even a lifeform that is immobile and has a very slow metabolism (compared to animals) to survive on.

A large part of the bauplan followed by most land plants - a long, thin central body with many even thinner limbs holding leaves (or, in the case of grasses, a body mainly composed of a single large, exceptionally tough leaf that is partially curled in on itself towards the ground for rigidity, possibly with smaller leaves branching off) - is dictated by the intersection of their photosynthetic needs, the effects of gravity on their bodies, and the limits of how thin a multicellular organism can spread out across the ground without breaking apart.

She's from Montana, one of those states "where the men are men and the sheep are nervous", and her code name is Fidget.

We don't know for certain that she wasn't a sheep before manifesting, or that she isn't a spirit were-sheep along the lines of Stella Woolfe.
