Grrl Power #809 – Vex a vigilante
Krona’s “SWAP” was really designed to work with doors. For those moments when someone is storming out of a room, and she wants them to look like a fool, and they throw open the door and walk smack into a wall.
It’s one of her .EXE’s that has taken a long time to develop. Sometimes there’s not enough room next to the door to do the swap, and the door winds up jutting into a closet, so she added a “Are you sure?” query to the hack. It’s also something she had to revise the first time she used it in a mall entrance, one of those ones where the door is flanked with glass. There were alignment issues. And lacerations.
Then there was the time she tried to use it on a revolving door. That was almost as bad as her failed checkpoint / time travel foible.
She’s used it on other things. Swapping an empty glass for a nearby full one, swapping an enemy’s shoes, you know, right for left so they’re weirdly uncomfortable and they can’t tell why right away. In a panic once she used it on someone’s shoulder holster as they were reaching for their gun. That would be pretty confusing. They grab a magazine instead and have to look down and realize their gun was on the other side, probably pull it out in the their off hand, then switch hands before using it.
Of course if she can do that, she could probably also make them bang their funny bone on something real hard, which I think would impair their ability to shoot for even longer.
I wrote a book! It has nothing to do with Grrl Power. It’s actually Tamer fanfiction, but like, 120K words of it, and it’s free! Check it out here.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like!
I think you mean “Eat your heart out, Wile E. Coyote (a very stable genius)”
After a few months I’m finally up to date. Need more!
Welcome to the hell of only two updates a week.
“Months”? No all-nighter? I’m a sad panda…
What happened to Krona’s goggles? she was wearing them when we last saw her, and every page she has that interface out, shows her wearing them.
2 semi exceptions are when she’s seeing the “deep code” and when she’s showing her power to Dabbler later that night. but she doesn’t have her interface out in either of those instances.
Simplest explanation is she’s wearing them but they were omitted to show her facial expression better.
I haven’t seen them during this entire Girls Night Out storyline.
I think she didn’t bring them to this, although she probably has a contact lense version with safemode capabilities for emergencies
She had them around her neck till she ditched her jacket. I’m guessing she left them with it. Then, when we see her on the roof she IS wearing them.
so in the LAST page we saw her in, she’s wearing them.
Dabbler was ready to party.
I have been looking forward to more diverse gadgets from her but I guess this still works.
It sure was nice of those restraints to not belt her hair to her shoulders. I’ve done that way too many times with my own bra straps or purse straps. :v
Dabbler can be a sadist but she’s not mean.
As a long-hair maintainer: Best justification.
This is the part where I usually wonder about when we will learn about what happened to Marble Maiden and make conjectures or guess about things like whether or not Aranea works for these guys:

However authors have ganged up on me with book nine of Michael Bailey’s Action Figures coming out as well as a new series by Richard Roberts (author of the Don’t Tell My Parents I’m A Supervillain series) coming out last week so I am less in the forums for the nonce.
