This would be more awesome if you...

Whatever. Practice by creating an energy-efficient machine using a portal. Then try to design a weapon that revolves around the portal devices.

Examples include a particle accelerator, gravity-powered food / water dispenser, vacuum, solar lamp, etc.

Don't use your power to fight directly, that will just make you lazy. Plus, any rivals will figure out how to beat you faster. Play the gadgeteer and keep them guessing how you do it.

Can you "refract" what comes out of the portals?

688703

Through some fiddling around, you find out you can create portals within a few metres of your body, and that walking away from them seems to make them collapse.
Not devoting a certain amount of attention to them also seems to make them collapse.
You can only create two linked portals for now, but that seems to have more to do with how much brainpower you need to spend to keep them open than some kind of hard cap. You can probably learn to keep more open with experience.
You test a gravity loop using an apple for obvious reasons.

The apple slamming into the floor at terminal velocity apparently wasn't enough. You also spilt your breakfast.
At least you now know you can move portals while they're open, as long as they're close to you. Whatever's jutting out of the portal seems to move with it, because what you're moving is technically space itself.
That was the last of your milk.

Your first thought was that, since they're essentially two-dimensional, portal edges would be infinitely sharp.
Turns out there's a reactive force, stopping any matter from actually coming into contact with the edges, analogous to magnets repulsing each other.
Collapsing portals, however, will evenly and perfectly 'cut' anything caught inside them.

Can you hover or even fly by sitting on a board laid across a horizontal portal and moving the portal?

Powers are effectively functions coded into the universe. The mind can run these functions - if it knows where to look. As long as the mind is going through the mental processes the power requires, the power will manifest. Hitting someone with the bat makes them aware of a power, which is otherwise behind a mental barrier and unreachable. Once they have access to one power, they can discover more.

The bat wasn't originally a bat. The important part of it is the device on top. When it comes into contact with nerve tissue, it propels the mind in the direction of a random power it has in its database. It then rewinds time to when the current session of consciousness began, which pretty much means whenever the schmuck last woke up.

Any contact with the device will do, but you've decided to bash knuckleheads because time will reset anyways, and it's more fun to send them flying.
Hitting someone with the bat twice propels their mind past the point where the powers are, which not only does not give them access to even stronger and stranger powers, but also turns very ugly very fast, both for the one hit and everyone in the blast zone.
The bat has given you superhuman strength. You keep the device turned off when not whacking powerless chucklenuts, to avoid accidentally touching the device and painting nearby scenery red.

You're growing bored after those word dumps. Doing something about the monster onslaught would both be fun and a visibility boost.
You don't know much about the monsters other than that they probably escaped from some secret lab. Or dungeon. Or cult.
Will you go to town on the oversized pests, or will you try to find out where they're coming from? The former will make it easier to make a name for yourself, while the latter will be much more efficient in dealing with them.

No. 688966 ID: a22f87

I saw find where they're coming from. I mean if you're the one who gave everyone there powers and then run around yelling to the world where you're at then they'll always come looking for you and you'll be stuck doing word dumps forever and never get anything done. Oh god and I can only imagine how annoying it would be once people find out you can actually give people powers.

I think it would be more fun to be a more mysterious hero so if anyone wants to track you down they'll have to work for it and then you can simply fuck with them when your board. Plus once you find where these things are coming from most of the monsters will probably still be there so there's more things for you to beat the shit out of instead of chasing them down one by one.

What'll you do with the bat if you go hunt monsters? Does it not work on them, or is the horrific backlash less impressive on weaker minds?

At any rate, you're giving random people powers, you're clearly much more interesting in the entertainment value of the situation than anything else. Solving it would be counter intuitive.

Although, being in the group that finally closes it would probably be a good idea since they're probably going to form the first super league. If you want in on that. Maybe just scout the place out and then go around beating up monsters until someone else finds it.

So your hero making tool is also is also a hero killing tool should they go crazy or evil with the powers you've granted. That's kind of handy.

>Will you go to town on the oversized pests, or will you try to find out where they're coming from?
The latter. It's not about making a name for yourself, it's about making the difference. Every hero out there will know who you are, anyways. And you already created a bunch of bozos to deal with the monsters.

Though you can't see its mouth, it appears to be screaming. Constantly.

If it is determined to be unacceptably hostile/violent then: Portal above and below, see if we can't get that sucker to tear itself apart through force of wind alone as it reaches and stays at terminal velocity. I mean really, leave those portals open long enough and it should be like a pretty damn powerful wind-tunnel trying to tear the thing apart.

Also is there a trash can around here somewhere or a dumpster? If so you could open a portal beneath the dead monster and just dump it into that. Cleans the streets and you don't have to look at it any more.
