On the basis of language being a technology, it reasons that it could feasibly be a Tinker speciality.
Intuitively, it would have a lot of Thinker, Master, and Stranger applications. :
-Perfect, automatic translations. Glasses, eye implants, earpieces, etc. that can even capture the nuances of idioms and metaphors
-Hyper-efficient communication, hyper-concise writing that anyone can understand, and could convey dozens of pages of information in a few sentences.
-Book
-Anything that can project information, sound, over long distances.
-Master/Stranger effects, subliminal messaging, or the ability to make people more susceptible to your writing.
-A printer that actually fucking works
-Hyper-convincing lies and doublespeak.
-Gun that shoots newspapers very fast

Weaverdice Multitrigger Power Gen
[Warning: Extremely long and niche post]
I’ve been playing weaverdice (a TTRPG based in the Worm universe) with a group of friends irl for several years now, and we’ve played in 3 separate campaigns but always been a part of the same team. I had the idea to create a PvP campaign, where 2 members of the group would be pitted against 2 other members of the group, with the multitrigger ‘kiss/kill’ dynamic being used to explain the division. I also wanted to try my hand at writing a cluster trigger power generation.
The first section contains each character’s trigger event. Although they all describe the same events, I wanted it to be rashomon-style, where everyone has slightly different readings of the things that occurred. The second section contains power generation based on the triggers.
In the end, Elias and Isaac end up as one team up, and Candice and Gordon on the other.
Triggers
Elias's Trigger
Your friends organised this camping trip for you, to help you take your mind off things. It was a nice gesture, but you haven’t been feeling any emotion since the break up, much less gratitude. Like a robot. It’s been 4 months like this. Isaac keeps trying to cheer you up with games and stuff, but you know it won’t help, and it’ll only make him feel depressed seeing you like this. But for this camping trip, it’s not just him expecting something from you. It’s Candice and Gordon too. You feel like you have to go, and what does it matter anyway? You’ll feel the same there as you will at home, but at least your friends will feel like they’re helping.
The first night, all sitting around a fire, Isaac starts encouraging you to drink. Fine. It couldn’t hurt to try. You’ll go along with it. He passes you a bottle of Bundy. Fine. Why not go hard? No point in half assing it. Maybe it will help.
While everyone’s drinking beers, you’re gulping down straight rum at the same rate. But it’s not helping. You excuse yourself, head to the bathroom, rum in hand, and throw up. Don’t people usually feel grossed out when they throw up? This just felt like tossing piece of garbage into the bin. Anyway, you come back, and you must have been a bit woozier than you thought, because you trip over your camp chair and the bottle goes flying. “Oops.” Through the fire. And onto Candice. In an instant, she’s covered in flames. You watch her running around for a few moments, while Gordon tells her to calm down. “So annoying,” you think. That’s it, the first emotion since the break up: annoyance. Your friend is on fire and that’s all your brain is coming up with?! In a combination of suppressed guilt, the first emotional activity your brain has experienced in months, and the revelation that this emotionless fugue state is your life now, you trigger.
Isaac's Trigger
Elias is your best friend. Or was. It’s hard to tell where you stand now, after his big break up, since he’s just shut himself away from the world for 4 months. He hasn’t even told you what happened. The answer is always no, every time you ask him to chuck a frisbee around, or play some co-op games, or do a food challenge, or even just go for a walk around the park like you used to in high school when one of you got rejected by a girl. You desperately want to have fun with him again, and do something, anything together. So you organise the camping trip, and it looks like you’ve finally worn Elias down enough that he agrees to come.
Your heart breaks when you see him for the first time in months. The goofy smile he used to always have plastered over his face is gone, replaced with an apathetic stare. Throughout the day you egg him on, trying to get him to do something that’ll make him happy again, but it’s useless. “Hey, race you to the beach?” “Oi Elias, catch this!” “Hey, remember that time when…” All met with a blank stare and complete inaction. At the end of the day you pull out your last resort, the rum. He drinks it, but nothing is changing. All it’s doing is making his footing a little uneven. On his way back from the toilet, still clutching the bottle, he trips over a camping chair, and the bottle of rum flies through the campfire and covers Candice in flaming alcohol. Candice is shrieking and running around and Gordon is screaming something, but all you can do is watch Elias’s face, waiting for any kind of response. And you get one - an exasperated sigh. He just set someone on fire and the only emotion he experienced was irritation. You’re never going to see that smile again. Trigger.
Candice's Trigger
You never felt fully welcomed into the group. Of course Gordon was really sweet about inviting you to things with everyone, but you always felt like you were just on the outside, a spectator. Maybe part of it was you not being in the group chat (even though Gordon showed you all the messages anyway), maybe part of it was how close Elias and Isaac were, leaving you and Gordon as the second pair. When the camping trip came around, you really didn’t want to go. Wasn’t the whole reason for the trip that Elias was depressed because of a break up? Wouldn’t he resent hanging out with you and Gordon, a happy couple?
On the trip, it’s so clear that Elias doesn’t want you there. He hasn’t said a word to you the entire day. Every time you say something, the silence that follows it is thick in the air. Isaac isn’t paying you much mind either, he’s totally focused on doing stuff with Elias. By night, you want to get out of there, but Gordon talks you into having a few drinks around a fire with everyone. Elias is getting really drunk. Is this ok? Isn’t he unstable or something? Depressed? What if he does something crazy? What if he hurts himself? Or you? He wants you gone, right?
You’re on edge. Eventually, Elias stumbles back from the toilets and “trips”. The bottle of rum goes flying through the fire, igniting the alcohol, and splashing all over your body and hair. He did that on purpose, to get rid of me. Your mind goes white with panic and fear. You run around screaming, the fire cooking your skin, burning up your hair. Suddenly you’re tackled to the ground, and you feel a crack in your chest, and a mind shattering pain spreads over your body as you think “he actually tried to get rid of me”. Trigger.
Gordon's Trigger
“Listen to me!”
Those were the words your father always said before he beat your mother. That was a long time ago. He's out of the picture for quite a while, but the memory of him still drives you. Ever since you can remember, you have strived to be the opposite of the person he is. Patient, generous, gentle, caring. That’s why you were the one to suggest the camping trip idea to Isaac - you hated knowing Elias was in pain.
In the car and setting up the tents, it’s not exactly a high energy vibe. But it’s not really about that, or even about having fun. It’s about showing Elias that he has people who care for him no matter what. You’re ok with sitting through a boring camping trip and a few awkward silences if that’s the outcome.
Then the fire happens. Suddenly, Candice is screaming and running around. You jump up and yell at her to get on the ground! She needs to stop moving and roll on the ground. All of the running is fanning the fire, she’s getting more and more engulfed in the flames. The smell of her burning hair smacks you in the face. You scream at her “STOP, DROP AND ROLL!” but it’s like yelling at a frantic animal - she just keeps running and shrieking. “Listen to me, Candice! Get on the ground!” She’s not listening. You need to do something; your body moves by itself. “Listen to me!” you shout again as you tackle her flaming body into the grass. She hits the ground with a thud, and your stomach sinks as you feel bones crack underneath you. So much for being the opposite of your father. Trigger.
Power Descriptions
Ascetic (Elias): Ultimate Self Control Thinker
Themes: emotion, emotionlessness, suppression of self, self-isolation, fugue state, fire, alcohol
Thinker. Self x Self
Power works by transplanting Elias’s consciousness into a pocket dimension. His body on Earth Bet is technically brain dead. His body is being controlled by his external consciousness, like Regent does to his victims.
Power gives complete manual control and awareness over all of his body’s natural processes - emotions, actions, automatic functions of the body can all be manually controlled when desired. This gives Elias complete immunity to master powers, psychological manipulation, exhaustion. When rolling for a difficult guts check, instead of a d6, rolls a d20 and succeeds on any roll besides a 1. Automatically passes easy-medium guts checks. Brawn and athletics bonus of +2, since he is able to force his body to exert the maximum possible strength every time. Able to ignore pain. Able to manually control all automatic functions of the body (e.g. heart rate, adrenaline and other hormone levels, sweat, gag and other reflexes, flinching, etc). Noctis cape.
Understands the needs and desires of his body intutively. Knows what vitamins and minerals he is lacking, and what to eat to make up for them. Intuitively understands how to optimally improve his own body via exercise and diet.
Able to completely ignore wounds and wound effects. Immune to bleeding since he is able to direct bloodflow away from the wound. Immune to head wounds. Main weakness is his heart.
Isaac’s aspect, Self-Repair: Able to create hypodermic injections which accelerate his body’s natural healing process in various ways. No effect if used on people other than himself.
Candice’s aspect, Fireproof: Skin, hair, and eyes are high-temperature proof in a breaker-y way. Externally, he is able to withstand temperatures up to 4,000C indefinitely without damage or discomfort.
Gordon’s aspect, Four Forearms: Able to grow a second pair of forearms out of his elbows, resulting in bifurcated arms. This growth takes 2 turns of combat to complete. When not focusing on maintaining the arms, they retreat back into the elbows.
Needler (Isaac): Forced-Action Syringe Tinker
Themes: loneliness, activities, loss of friendship, emotion, emotionlessness, alcohol, changed person
Tinker. Controller x Psyche
Creates drones that influence the actions of victims via injection. Creates chemical conconctions that induce specific urges to do things. A victim might suddenly find the urge to start singing loudly, or unload their gun into the air, or smash their head against a wall, depending on the serum.
C-Tier serums: Can only specify “how” the muscles move. Can force muscle contractions, trips, kicks, turns, finger twitches. Must program specific muscle movements manually into the serum - the serum doesn’t affect the brain of the victim at all, only the muscles.
B-Tier serums: Can only specify “what” to do or feel. At this tier, serums begin to affect the brain. Capable of forcing more complex imperatives or basic emotions, without needing to program specific mechanics of muscle movement. Some examples of actions able to be programmed into the serums: “Fire gun into air until no ammo remains”, “Take off shoes”, “Throw weapon at enemy”. Examples of emotions able to be programmed into the serums: Sudden rage, creeping dread, overwhelming joy. Emotions are temporary, they only last 1 round of combat. B-Tier effects are limited to things that don’t directly contradict the victim’s motives (such as harming allies)
A-Tier serums: Can specify both “what” to do or feel, and “how” to do it. A-Tier serums allow complete control over a victim for an entire turn of combat with no other limitations, although like all serums the actions must be decided in advance, when the serum is created (not mid fight). For example, if Isaac was preparing for a fight with a specific parahuman (e.g. Candice), he could create a serum that forces her to use her orbs to create fire fences around her own team members.
A Sample of Possible Tinker Builds
Squirt: a small flying drone the size of a human thumb, which carries a small vial of serum (one dose) enough to induce C-Tier actions. Needs to inject serum into the part of the body that is being prompted to move.
Jabber: a larger drone the size of a human hand, which can carry up to 4 C-Tier doses, 2 B-Tier doses, or 1 A-Tier dose. Needs to inject at melee range.
Shot-gun: A revolver-like gun which can hold 6 C-Tier doses. A- and B-Tier doses can be added as well, but B-Tier doses take up 2 C-Tier slots and A-Tiers take up 3 slots.
Elias’s aspect, Perfect Proprioception: Extremely accurate sense of proprioception (locating parts of your own body in space without looking). Leverages this by implanting drone control mechanisms into his body, which makes inputting commands extremely natural and fast. Able to execute drone commands for a whole fleet of drones (up to 6) as a fast action on his turn.
Candice’s aspect, Will-O-Wisp: Drones are individually able to enter a breaker state that resembles a will-o-wisp, which is intangible and unable to take damage. Drones automatically decide whether or not to enter this state based on their onboard AI, but it can also be triggered manually. While in breaker form, the drones are unable to perform any action besides movement, and require a turn action to transform back.
Gordon’s aspect, Omnidextrous: Able to morph his feet into hands, and use them with the same amount of dexterity as regular hands. This ability also makes his left and right side equally dexterous. While morphed, adrenaline is also heightened. Increases tinker tech production by 50% when used during downtime, but at the cost of 1 morale due to the lack of sleep the adrenaline causes.
Effigy (Candice): Area Denial Flaming Breaker
Themes: outsider, immolation of body, ribcage, exclusion, being the target of jealousy
Breaker. Flame/Exclusion
Can enter a breaker state by bursting into flames. While in this flame body state, she can create and control up to two flaming orbs, each the size of a tennis ball, which roll around on the ground and leave flaming trails behind them which last 2 rounds of combat. Her flame body also leaves a flaming trail behind it when moving. Her breaker state is vulnerable to being extinguished. The weaker her flames get, the slower and less fine her control over the orbs become, and the slower and weaker her body becomes. If her flames are fully extinguished, she is knocked unconscious and reverts to human form.
Elias’s aspect, No-Sell: Besides being extinguished, can ignore wounds and negative effects of wounds temporarily while in breaker form, but retains wounds and effects when reverting to human form.
Isaac’s aspect, Sterilised Needles: Able to create floating drones which lock on and attach to her orbs, which can fire burning hot sharp pins at enemies.
Gordon’s aspect, Fanned Flames: Flame body and orbs grow in size and heat based on the cumulative anger emotions being experienced by people in the immediate surroundings
Infernal (Gordon): Raging Fists Changer
Themes: domestic abuse, becoming something he hated, feeling unforgivably sorry, not listening, strength, force
Changer. Raw x Bristle
Changes into a six armed, red, beast-like humanoid with no legs - it walks on two or four arms, or can run on all six arms for speed. Change is gradual, and causes him to become more enraged as he transforms. At full transformation (which takes 4 rounds of combat), his strength is on par with Glory Girl, and stands at 3m tall.
Gordon’s shard is the one responsible for handling the “kill” aspect of the “kiss/kill” dynamic among multitriggers, as part of the cycle.
Elias’s aspect, Disassociation: Splits consciousness between “the beast” and “the man”. The dormant aspect of “the man” consciousness is able to go out-of-body and inspect the surroundings, giving him better battlefield awareness. However, “the man” needs to either be dominant in the body (i.e. transforming back to human), or communicate effectively to “the beast” in order for this information to be useful.
Isaac’s aspect, Commanding Roar: Can tinker up an “obedience serum” which he can coat his nails with before battle. When this serum enters the bloodstream of a victim via a scratch from his primary set of arms, they become susceptible to commands shouted by Infernal. Susceptibility decreases if command is given quietly or shouted from a distance. At base, victim must roll 4+ guts or wits to resist command. Command can be a single word, e.g “run”, “freeze”, “jump” and will usually consume a single action of the target’s turn.
Candice’s aspect, Running Hot: The more beast-like he gets, the hotter his body temperature gets, up to a maximum of 100C.

@autistictaylorhebert I saw you were asking for power-gen trigger suggestions, and I tried submitting this to your ask box, but it was too long (tragic). I came up with a power for this one, but I kind of want to see how other people interpret it. I’m happy to share my power if you’d like! (Also yes it is formatted like a Weaverdice trigger. It’s habit.)
You’d known for a while that your S.O. wasn’t really great for you, but it all came to a head when they discovered you’d been talking to an ex-boyfriend behind their back. They got pissed, you got defensive, and then the next thing you know you’re lying on the kitchen floor with blood dribbling from your head. That’s when you decided that you needed to leave. Except that aforementioned ex-boyfriend lives halfway across the country, and your parents aren’t an option, and you can’t go to the men’s shelters because they don’t accept anyone with an ‘F’ on their ID, and you can’t go to the women’s shelters because you’ve got a beard and a deep voice, and where the fuck are you supposed to go?

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."
Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.
These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!
Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!
Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.
So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

💖 Day 3.5 is now available! 💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For the last couple of months, only Server Boosters had access to the 3.5 update... Buuuuut now it's available for everyone to play in the 14DWY Discord — and soon itch.io once I'm happy with the QA and state of the game — so please don't feel pressured to join unless you want to!!
The full devlog + even more screenshots are under the cut ^^
Tumblr media
What's been added to the 3.5 version?
���� Streamer Mode!
I've been told that it's difficult to stream and monetise age-restricted videos on YouTube and Twitch, so I added an option to remove the sexual content and strong language used in the demo.
Now y'all can invite Ren into your bed for cuddles without putting your streamer career on the line /silly /lh
This won't affect the 18+ rating or dark themes/elements of the game, however! Although Streamer Mode will prevent you from seeing any "gruesome" CGs in the future, most of the core elements of the game will still be tied to the choices and decisions you make. So you won't miss out on the overall experience by using streamer mode!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⚙️ Custom Pronouns!
It only took me one entire year to get around to it, but you can finally choose your own preferred pronouns (or use a set of pronouns instead)... At the cost of being able to change them mid-game ^^;
Since the original pronoun screen wouldn't update until a new scene was displayed, I temporarily disabled the feature. But once I find a workaround, I'll bring it back!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
💗 Choose how others perceive you!
You can now choose how the cast and narration perceive you! Originally, the narration was kept strictly gender-neutral (outside of pronouns and genitalia picked by the player), but this will soon change in future updates.
For more clarity: you don't get to choose the words specifically, but you can choose between masculine, feminine, and androgynous terms!
Tumblr media
📋 Separate top and bottom genitalia!
You can now choose your tatas and pps separately! >:3
Alongside that, you can also choose your preferred body type!
I removed the "both" genitalia option because a few players still assumed it was an obscure version of "intersex". That wasn't my intention and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I took it out for now ^^;
I also didn't want to include a screenshot of the new genitalia choices in action (because it's NSFW), so y'all get the same character menu screen for the nth time instead lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
📱 Relationship Screen Overhaul!
You can now change your own status for more immersion, and long-term Server Boosters will eventually be able to submit and use their own icon within the game as well!
Stalking finding your friends has now become easier by using "Buddy Maps"; a new app that allows you to see the location of all the cast members!
I want to offer players more incentive to check the relationship screen since they tend to miss the status updates, so hopefully this might help ;v;
It also says it "updates every few hours" so folks don't go overboard and check every 5 seconds to see where Ren is gdsghf (also keep in mind that he's a hacker lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🖤 Additional Scenes Update!
Day 2 received a brand new CG!!!!! Originally, I planned on only adding a few CGs sporadically throughout the game, but it didn't feel right to leave Day 2 so... empty... so I added a brand new CG to (hopefully) make things feel more balanced and natural!
If you decline Teo's offer on Day 3, Leon will now call and try to convince you to reconsider. However, players are still allowed to decline, and if they do, they'll reach a dead end.
After listening to feedback on itch, I changed some of the dialogue during Days 1-3 to make it seem more consistent! They're only small changes though, so it's honestly not worth looking for sdgjssga
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🎶 Updated BGM and SFX!
I wanted to try out a different style of music to see if it fits the vibe of 14DWY more! The BGM features more acoustics to suit the "beachy" theme of Corland Bay, though I made a conscious effort to include piano elements as well to stay true to the original!!
I figured it'd be better to give players a live example before I make a poll (to see if they prefer the change or not) and publish it to Itch.
Some new SFX have also been added, though it's very minimal and honestly not that noticeable.
How to download and play the update?
(warning: clicking on the following links will open Discord!!) To download the Day 3.5 update, simply join the 14DWY Discord server, verify your age, and visit the "14dwy-updates" channel!
Alternatively, you can also wait until the update is publicly released on Itch to play it as well!! (It normally gets released shortly after a round of QA testing/getting feedback from the server, though I may release it earlier if I feel like it hehe ^^)
Enjoy!!
#14 days with you#14dwy#💖 — 14 days with queue.#🖤 — updates.#🖤 — spoilers.#I'm not gonna say much about my current doxxing situation because I've got it under control now + it's being handled privately#Plus I don't wanna give it/the people involved any unnecessary attention. I just wanna announce the update and Get Back To It™️#(''it'' bein the grind 💪 It never stops lmao /silly)#OG followers will also know that these topics aren't the vibe I normally have on this blog (or any of my accounts); so I don't think I'll—#—make ANOTHER public post about the situation and bring more attention to it (when I just want everything to be over and put to rest ^^;)#However I also don't want people to think that I'm... ignoring?? the situation entirely (because gettin doxxed is a very endangering thing)#So I DO want to quickly acknowledge it here and say that it's all currently handled + I'm safe and okay + this won't stop me from—#—continuing to work on 14DWY (and other future projects). I also don't want to give these awful people more power and incentive to continue#—this kind of pathetic behaviour; so the less attention and encouragement being shown will ultimately be better in the long run :3#Aaaaaanways!! 😮‍💨#My other accounts will be restored shortly and my askbox will be opened once I feel comfortable. I'll get around to following folks—#—again in my own time; so please don't feel offended if I unfollowed you during a moment of vulnerability and anxiety!!#This is all EXTREMELY overwhelming and scary for someone with SAD/AvPD; and I /gen can't handle seeing it all over my timeline ;v;#Sorry this got ranty and personal again hjdsgjsdh T_T I said I wouldn't say much; so I'll shut up now hehe#🖤 — shut up sai.

I promised lore about Pugsley's kids forever ago but kept forgetting, sorry. Or more like, I kept putting it off because I wanted some sketches to accompany the lore dump, but I don't think I have the time to do that. So, just... Here.
Dante Addams
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Outcast type: Demon
- Power: can turn into fire
- Mother: was a demon that Pugsley fell in love with but only saw his father as a quick fling. Months after she broke things off with him, Pugsley finds baby Dante left behind on the Addams family doorstep with the note 'Keep him if you want him'
- he's smart and precocious. Vega likes talking to him because they're both intellectuals.
- Pugsley never had the heart to tell him that his mother abandoned him, but he's smart enough to put the pieces together
- just like any Addams, he has a penchant for mischief. His favorite prank is to steal and hide Jasper's legs
- he becomes a member and leader of the Nightshades when he becomes a Nevermore student
Jasper Addams
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Outcast type: Manananggal
- Power: breathes fire
- Mother: She never married Pugsley. Because she's a free spirit who loves to travel, they agreed that Jasper is better off in Pugsley's custody(yes she could have just settled down to help properly raise him. No she didn't do that)
- he loves salty food. Salt is typically deadly to a manananggal, but because he's an Addams, the worst it does is give him rashes
- he's a bit of a klutz. He often loses his legs. He sometimes puts them back on backwards.
- he isn't very confident in himself because he thinks his siblings are a lot more impressive than him.
- he's very popular among his peers in school because of his friendly nature
Briar Addams
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Outcast type: The Faceless
- Power: controls fire
- Mother: she was the only one Pugsley married. She died before Briar was old enough to remember her, but Dante and Jasper have very fond memories of her
- she adores her Tia Wednesday and has a petty one-sided rivalry with Vega. She carries around a doll that looks like her cousin so she can stick needles into it.
- Vega, Dante, and Jasper think she's scary. Very cute, but also scary
- she knows sign language, but mostly just gesticulates like Thing when she communicates. She's a girl of few words anyways.
- she's also very smart but hates school
- she just creeps people out. As a kid, it's initially just because of her appearance. As she gets older, she does things on purpose to make people uneasy around her.
I'll make another post for lore about Sora's parents and Regine's mom later. Maybe tomorrow.

Chrysocolla is a Breaker (Shaker) who can transform herself into a large, many limbed crystal that resembles a tree, rapidly swelling and shrinking. From there, she can summon jagged, fast-moving effigies of herself, "fruit," that can only travel a short distance (about 10 meters), and act for about 3 seconds before becoming immobile.
If the fruit collides with someone, it will cause injury. If it travels its maximum distance, however, it will leave a trail of crystals connecting the fruit and the tree, a "root". So long as this trail remains intact, the fruit can be a new vector to create more, albeit at a reduced size, distance, and frequency the further the fruit is from the central tree.
The roots can be reinforced by volleying fruit along the path, becoming tall enough to impede movement, and manipulate light, becoming blindingly bright in areas they become densely connected. They are initially fragile, and breaking them will "kill" any fruit along the line, but getting close opens you to attack from multiple angles, and to possibly become encircled.
For as long as Chrysocolla is in her breaker state, she finds it extremely difficult to breathe, and can only do so through the surface of her roots. As such, her priority is then to spread out her roots as far as possible, but her thoughts tend to race very quickly when she is in this state. It is a mistake to try to attack Chrysocolla's central tree, and is more effective to incapacitate her by trying to smother her roots as quickly as possible, or to burn off the oxygen in the surrounding area.
