Cat: A nuclear lab isn't even in the right field to make human-animal hybrids.

Kon: We primarily handle it by not giving a single flying fuck. We go about doing as we do with all the subtlety of a jackhammer, and if someone has a problem with that, they can say it to our face.

Cat: we don't really get this? But that's mostly on account of having internalized our role as a social wrecking ball. We will follow our trajectory, unyielding, and all the NTs are just going to have to deal with it.

Just: In my personal experience from way back when? Being such a terrifyingly violent little shit that no-one wants to risk setting you off may have its drawbacks, but it damn well works at getting bullies to knock it off. But being terrifyingly violent doesn't mean you need to be an asshole when not provoked.

Cat: To slip poison into their food, duh.

Cat: Hey, don't knock an opportunity for a dinner with a shitstain billionaire. You'll never have a better chance to kill them.

Just: I'm in the latter category, but that's because I'm an avid pedestrian who's been almost run over FAR too many times.

Cat: Sorry, we'd rather keep our hand.

Cat: If someone can't be trusted to treat an adopted kid right, they can't be trusted to treat any kid right. End of story.

Cat: They shouldn't even be allowed access to the children they do make themselves.

Just: I am a specific process running on our brain.

Luci: We're going to get a non-plural family member to sit for a few minutes with the EEG on them to get a comparison.

Just: We've got a Flowtime EEG headset, and we're recording our brainwaves for system shenanigans now.

Madeline: Science denial really grinds my metaphorical gears, and Flat Earthers are some of the most egregious about it. So manhandle them into strait jackets and shove them in the damn rocket already.

 

Kon: We made Koikatsu avatars for everyone in our system and took a picture.

Just: Hey everyone, say hello to Emerald.

Emerald: ...I've had a rough forming process.

Just: She managed to un-Descartes herself, vanishing in a puff of logic. It took a couple days for her to recover.

Emily: I've changed my name. This fits better.

 

Cat: We're the originator of this prompt concept, and it's made the rounds a few times before. Let's see how it does in the Fediverse, shall we?

 

Cat: So, we're making a setting for a slightly home-brewed Pathfinder 1e campaign. We want guns in the campaign, but the official firearms rules are irksome.

Cat: Anyway, as one of the changes we've made, we've switched propellants to a technically magical explosive called Force Powder. Force powder is smokeless, does not foul the workings of a gun, operates just fine in water, and can only be set off with a sharp percussive force; examples include smashing it against a metal surface with a hammer, or an explosive shockwave.

Cat; Among other things, we've figured that this will probably make rifled firearms a fair bit more popular early on than in real life; one of the big reasons they weren't widely adopted for military use is because all the smoke quickly nullified their range and accuracy advantages. It also means that matchlocks, wheel locks, and flint locks basically don't exist, with only percussive ignition being feasible.

Cat: So, are there any other things we should be aware of?

Lucifer: We're uncertain of the effects on breech-loading firearm adoption. It seems like it should help?

Cat: So, to preface: soon we'll be ordering an ElectroEncephalogram (EEG) headset. The reason for this is because we're a plural system, and want brainwave data on what happens when we do various system stuff. Pretty obviously there's going to be some bias involved on account of who we are, but we're going to try being as objective as possible.

Just: We're definitely going to wrangle some single-threaded folk to try and get a baseline for comparison.

Just: but yeah, do folk have any advice on how to run this experiment? Also, any specific measurements you want us to do?
