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/

Coil and Lyrics: Crispy
Dinah: Elle (https://elle-arts.tumblr.com/)

LYRICS:

Coil: You say
The price of my pet’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You whine,
“I just joined this gang to rob banks, you know, victimless crimes!”
Oh grow up!
Before you throw stones remember the house you’re inside
Is just as corrupt
So you might as well stick with us, and… oh yes: Besides,

You need me, I’ve made sure
It’s too costly to walk out the door
You need me, as I prefer,
From skull-faced capes, down to my creepy chauffeur
They simply ask, I supply
Or just vaguely promise that “I’ll try”
So if you have complaints, 
I’ll request that you direct them to Trickster, or his monster in restraints!

Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da
etc…

You say that Dinah’s plight is too frightening and sad
But if you buzz off, what are the odds, she ever goes home to mum and dad?
(Dinah: Two-point-four-three per cent / Coil: Shut up!)
And sure! Some day I’ll free her
When I’m the Bay’s new leader
Or the face of East-North-East, or
Lets say: when I don’t need her
If ever, if ever,
If ever, if ever, if ever...

You need me, and always will
For there’s always some new void to fill
In your veins, or in your heart
And for all the rest there’s Mastercard
So go on, glare! Ball your fists,
But you come at the king, you best not miss
And any time, till you take your shot
I can torture you for hours, and erase you with a thought!

Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da (etc)
Now in two parts!
Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da (etc)



Thank you, Mr Pitter / Oh, Mr Pitter?
That’ll be all  / One more thing...

You Need Me (Coil)

Victoria and Lyrics: Crispy
Amy: Torchide


LYRICS: 
VICTORIA (and AMY): Amy. What did you do?

(...Victoria)

Congratulations
You‘ve just done something so utterly twisted
Things worse than this? That’s a short fucking list, sis
Fooled us into thinking you were this big altruist, shit:
Your circle in hell won’t even be listed

You know, I persisted,
Helping dad though the dazes that made up his daily existence,
“There must be some risk, that’s why she can’t assist him,”
Mum said we should insist: I resisted,

Now I learn that what you were most afraid of
Is what you’d do to me if you ever took your chains off?
And what, you supercharge my dopamine gland,
and you think I’m just gonna turn to putty in your hands? No! 
So congratulations!

(No, no Victoria, it’s worse than that,
Victoria)

You ruined everything, for nothing,
Congratulations!

(Just let me fix it, and I’ll go)

Fix it?
Amy: I get you’ve just been through a gauntlet of shit,
you don’t think this one night should define you,
But there was no Bonesaw when Dean lay dying,
And suddenly I couldn’t find you,

And I just had to guess you did your best yesterday,
And you still think that you can wish this all away,

But I’ll tell you why that just can’t be...

(Victoria)

You’re not touching me.

I knew my sister like I knew my own mind,
With one violation I’ve had my foundations fractured twice,
And the first I could withstand, but the second bites,
So why would I trust you to make this right?
I always loved you, Amy! Me! I did! Alone!
But now I can’t know which of my emotions are my own!

Amy! 

(Victoria)

While your offer’s kind and quaint,
I’ll find someone else to fix me, or just dig deep and find some fucking self-restraint,

And hey, congratulations!
“Not be your father”: that was your plan?
This act was so heinous, a better claim is,
You just surpassed the man:
Congratulations!

The End of Guts and Glory (or: Congratulations)

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!

Grue: Rein

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!

Armsmaster, Sir
