We are headed to the world of the fabulous and dark Webnovel Worm! What are we doing on ou...

Honestly this is a great time to just go shopping. We have over a hundred dollars in cash. Pick up some produce and canned food.

If you can find one, go to a big department store like Walmart and do a shopping spree. Buy a basic tool kit, a solar panel charger for the power tools, a shovel, and anything else that my lovely readers suggest in the comments. This will definitely wipe out our finances, but easy come easy go.

Excuse me? Spending over a hundred dollars on shopping at Walmart? Are you high? We can TELEPORT. STEAL SHIT. LOTS OF IT. In a world like this you might even get a wiki page as a very low tier teleporting supervillain.

Sell some gold and silver coins at a pawn shop. If they offer more than you could get by directly converting the coins, you can make a decent profit that way.

Spend some time acquainting the girls with modern amenities and concepts. They aren’t likely to get comfortable with them any time soon, but knowing broadly what computers do couldn’t hurt.

Park the girls in a library or a mall or something. Their skillsets aren’t likely to be tremendously useful, but it would be cruel to force them to stay on the skyblock.

Cruel? Nah man. Those are two hot girls in a fairly crime heavy city. One of them is painfully naive and one of them is ambiguously nonwhite in a city that has multiple ethnic gangs. Keep them safely on the skyblock.

Prioritize getting the girls modern clothes so they won’t stick out too much, give them some basic explanations, and keep them on hand.

Deliberately send the girls through E88 territory with the full intention that they are going to get attacked by skinheads. They will defend themselves (possibly aided by Snow’s new random stray animal friends and a goddamn wolf) and are reasonably likely to win.

Fuck Vista- Vista is a petite blonde girl with naturally wavy hair. Even aged up to 18x she has a physique that makes her look like she’s much younger than she is. This is, incidentally, a change from canon intended to preserve certain social dynamics. Now instead of hating how everyone treats her like a kid because she’s a kid, they treat her like a kid because she’s the youngest looking and physically weakest member of the team.

“Marry” Vista- an iron willed young woman who can bounce back from all sorts of trauma (and boy howdy does that come in handy in canon…) She identifies more with her superhero identity than her civilian identity, taking extra shifts to avoid her unpleasant home life.

Kill Vista- Vista has a power that allows her to distort space and matter, making things bigger or smaller, as well as shrinking or lengthening distances. She cannot directly affect living things, so in a crowded environment her powers are often far weaker. She is classified as a “Shaker 9,” meaning that if she were a supervillain the standard procedure to fight her would be evacuation followed by a strategy tailored to her specific abilities.

Fuck Shadowstalker- Shadowstalker is a black girl, with long straight hair and a willowy runner’s physique. Slim up top with muscular thighs. Pretty face when she isn’t glowering (or if you’re into that).

“Marry” Shadowstalker- Shadowstalker is a distinctly edgy kind of superheroine who believes in a world of predators and prey. She’s a “hero” mostly because she doesn’t want to be locked up, and a good hunt is more valuable than any financial rewards she might get out of villainy. She isn’t remotely graceful in defeat, but she does respect strength.

Kill Shadowstalker- she’s a brutal fighter who is willing to kill without hesitation if she can get away with it. She primarily uses her crossbow loaded with tranquilizer darts, almost exclusively because she doesn’t want to get put away for murder as a juvenile, but keeps knives and normal bolts handy just in case. She is classified as a Breaker 3, meaning that a trained SWAT team could probably take her down.

Fuck Flechette- Might be hard, given her preferences. She’s an extremely fit young Japanese American woman with short hair. She spends a lot of her free time in the gym, and has earned a fairly muscular physique.

“Marry” Flechette- Flechette is a dedicated, intelligent, and emotional girl. She is estranged from her family due to being a lesbian, and very much wants to find friendship and belonging. She throws herself into her work as a member of the Wards.

Kill Flechette- if she’s TRYING to kill you, you will probably die, but thankfully she’s a basically decent person. Flechette is a supernaturally good shot with her crossbow or any kind of thrown or melee piercing weapon, capable of piercing through almost literally anything by charging her weapons with energy. She’s somewhat unlikely to actually try to kill someone, but is VERY good at pinning them in place. Her precise PRT classification is unknown, but her Catalog classification is T5

Fully commit to trying to go all the way with the fuck/marry/kill mission on this trip.

Don’t sweat the fuck/marry/kill mission. We want to be really damn careful about picking fights with superheroes, and there’s very little chance we will be able to get all three in one week anyway.

If we can get any of the three girls, buy target tracker for 2 credits immediately. That’s such an incredibly useful perk, and will be immediately useful for finding the other girls in their civilian identities.

Punch a nazi! Just a normal one, though, and collect the reward without trying to punch above our weight. Empire 88 is a white supremacist gang working for supervillains in a fictional universe. The chances of any given member having a sympathetic backstory or nuanced reasons for their beliefs is pretty low.

Punch a super nazi after research and planning. Some of them could plausibly lose a fight with Gil if he approached it right. He does, after all, have a flying ghost sword and a wolf to draw upon.

Use an orb of berserking mist on one of the E88’s hangouts and then RUN. This will probably result in many casualties, directly and indirectly, but if an E88 cape gets beaten up in the scuffle it might count. Something like this would also definitely draw out the heroes, both the Wards and possibly the adult hero team. Remember, these are fictional Nazis. No shame!

Spend 10 stamp credits on a one use stamp so we can capture multiple people in this world.

Using the power of “internet” see if there are any publicly known supers that Gil might be able to come into contact with in a non-confrontational context, like a book signing or a party. Pose as a fan, stamp them, and sell them a week later on the “memory wipe” setting. Even a fairly low end superhero probably sells for a pretty penny.

Be very fucking careful. This is a potentially dangerous world where there are plenty of beings who will happily try to kill Gil. Anything we do will be approached with utmost caution. This reduces the chance of success and makes things take longer, but also reduces the chance of Gil or his girls getting hurt.

Suggestion box. I might not do it, but by all means tell me what Gil SHOULD do.
