worm

Original Song from Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, lyrics based on characters and situations from Worm, by J.C McCrae, available here: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

LYRICS:
How does a bullying victim, kicked to the curb by her best friend,
Ripped, pulled and frayed to her threads end,
Blessed then with power to control slightly macroscopic critters,
Turn out to be the supervillain Skitter?

No heavy hitter, more “death of a thousand stingers”,
As her world got grimmer, her justifications: thinner,
Her chance of survival slimming, her view on authority dimming
But in Bet where flying bricks are blasé, she became a kingpin.

For now she’s just a spy, tryna worm her way inside the Undersiders,
For Armsmaster’s pride he keeps her fake up,
But I’m sorry Taylor, wake up, once you are insinuated,
Would you ever cut ties with the first team that’d take you?

A darkness generator, a joint manipulator,
Paranoia activator, and a mongrel monster maker
This last one gave her trouble: Bitch’s bitches on her case,
So our girl kicked her in the face, and… yeah, that pretty much set the pace.

Well, the heroes bunkered down, they said “This chick is insane guys!
Hostage-taking spiders, and blood-drugging mayflies,
Merely motor control, or can she see through they eyes?
Either way she’s never surprised, Let’s give her a name guys…

Skitter, Queen of Brockton Bay. They call me Skitter, Queen of Brockton Bay
And just a single shoe has dropped today. But just you wait. Just you wait…

She hit 13: her mother died, out driving and texting,
Her friend abandoned her, and her father disconnected,
Danny please! Roaches are writing the writing on the wall!
But so scared of what he might do, he did... nothing at all.

Locked inside a locker, ironically opens up her mind,
Sending out tendrils while it hides a message deep inside,
A voice saying: “Fight! Hurt the bully, save the victim!
But never think too critically about which group you fit in”

Tattletale was no fool, she saw that Taylor was days away
From going Carrie on the school, or walking straight into the Bay
She started smirking! Working for her new friend’s sanity
Showing fun crimes, and hot guys were among the perks of villainy

Now she’s scamming for her place in the superhero Pantheon
Or planning for a Face Turn she’ll never pull the trigger on
Either way for the sake of her people, her town
In Brockton, she’ll hit bedrock, then dig down

Just you wait…

Skitter Queen of Brockton Bay!
When any cape comes for you,
You will always crack down, you always have to escalate!
Skitter Queen of Brockton Bay!
When all of Bet judges you 
Will they know why you chose this way
All the sacrifice you made,
And let - you take - another name? 

The bugs are acting funny now, better make an exit,
She’s got her mask and armour on, No longer so pathetic,
No matter what the stress she’s never less than copacetic,

Three created her
Many hated her
Five stayed with her, and felt betrayed by her,
And us? We thought that we could take her.

It’s a million and a half words long… So just you wait!

What’s the name guys?

Skitter, Queen of Brockton Bay!

LYRICS:

COMPANY:
2011. April.
The docks at Brockton.

TAYLOR (and ARMSMASTER):
Hello there, fellow caped crusader!
(Bug girl! You come up with a name, or…)
I’m tryna find one without villainous implications. (Sure,
Well you clearly sewed those clothes yourself: How about Tailor?) 

That… won’t work.
I want to tell you straight with no dissembling,
Cos I suspect your helmet has a lie detector in,
I have a plan, hands-off for you so don’t go stressing
The Undersiders asked me to join
		(…and you’re accepting.)

Yes! I’ll be your spy! I’ve been with them 48 hours,
I have their names, their lair location, information on their powers,
So now just one more thing…
	(Wait… Stop! What do you want from me?)
Well, we’re a gang committing crimes, I need immunity

(What crime?) No. (Their lair?) No! (Their names?) Absolutely not,
There’s a power in play lets them know that I talked and then you get squat
 (And what have I got now?)
Uh, the head of the ABB?
(You gave me a dying man, who needed help sitting down to pee!)

(…My help.)
...What?
(Twice, today)
Wow… that seems really unreasonab-
 (I’m being punished, for how his body parts decayed)
Oh, so this is my fault!?.../ (Listen,
You wanna end up dead?)
I think I can handle some dogs- Wait two?
		(Two killers in that gang, they’ll have your head)

TATTLETALE:
Yo yo yo yo yo
What time is it?

UNDERSIDERS:
Flashback!

ARMSMASTER:
She’ll move in instead...

UNDERSIDERS:
Flashback! Flashback!

TATTLETALE:
Yo, I’m Tattletale, and the place to be,
Is apparently the Brockton Bay Library, hah!
Now you’re off your guard, come parley with the team, but
Don’t eat! I’ll pack you a lunchbox – it's on me.

REGENT:
Oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Alec
I mean, I don’t speak French, where’s Montreal, who’s Quebec?
With my hi-tech sceptre, I make the heroes dance
Unlike others, I’m so scary cos I’ll make you shit your pants! Whaaa-?

BITCH:
Woof, bark. I am Bitch, friends call me Bitch.
I so much as whistle or twitch, and you’ll need stitches,
If you lock up canines in cages,
I’ll find you and rage, and do violence in spades,
Till you’re spayed – 

TATTLETALE:
			-OK!
Rachel, creative, but that was pretty gruesome,
Let’s move on, and introduce Grue, son!

GRUE:
Yeah, I’m the leader of this sorry band of misfits
The ones you didn’t kick into shit think you’re a good fit? 

TATTLETALE: 
...oh my god...

ARMSMASTER:
Yeah, good luck with this terrible plan,
I won’t let on I know you, I would just look bad.

TAYLOR:
BOO!
Alright, Mr Suspicious, don’t look past ambition,
And when I come in from the cold, I’ll just talk to Miss Militia!

Wormilton

Armsmaster, Sir
