Chapter 8 - Parts

There was a long road ahead of Tiffany to be able to better learn how to use her Quirk so she made use of everything that was available to her.

Anything that she could make contact with that worked with her Quirk was touched by her at least once for a short period of time and she had volunteered to help out in setting up some stalls at times so that she could come into contact with some of the items on sale or that were up as prizes.

Doing odd chores helped to gain more support from those around her too and she was able to pick up on some skills along the way.

Anything more complicated or that required heavy lifting was left to others due to her body being more fragile than others and her age being much lower.

Even if they were exploiting youths for labour, not everyone was so harsh on the younger generation and not everyone was so unreasonable to ignore her contributions made over the time that had passed.

Her connections and presence was growing within the carnival while she was expanding her own range of uses for her Quirk and she was picking some extra skills up along the way.

After the disappearance of her elder sister, there was no big commotion about her disappearance almost like it was to be expected and it had happened often.

Either many were well aware of what was happening behind the scenes and were involved or keeping quiet about it, they were suspicious about the disappearance but there was no reason to voice their concerns or they had just accepted things as they were and believed what they were told.

It would not be strange for some people to suddenly give up on the carnival life one day and settle in one of the cities they had stopped at.

Some people had already found another job or a partner that they wanted to pursue so they had to leave the carnival so many others could have done the same.

From further talks that had been spied on by Tiffany, it had been revealed that many of those that had disappeared would usually be sold on to the highest bidder or to those that the carnival had deeper connections to.

They were constantly on the move once they finished the shows in one location but they had some connections to others from the places they visited more often.

Most of those places that they seemed to be closer to were crime families and other groups that dealt with the sales of people with Quirks.

Her sister was sold to a criminal organisation so her future would be one where her Quirk would be put to use for the goals of the higher ups so her life would be full of dangers.

Even if she did survive longer and made a name for herself, she would be marked as a criminal for life and would have to deal with the police, heroes, vigilantes, rival groups and her rivals or underlings coming after her.

Through further exploration of her Quirk, Tiffany had found her limit that needed to be improved upon while she had tested various ways to work around her limitations to use her Quirk more efficiently.

The limitation to her Quirk was that if she tried to make use of too many of her parts at once then it would put a strain on her main body.

It was the same if she had found a way to connect to more than one doll which were in different locations since two perspectives and information were needing to be taken in all at once.

The extra heads being used did help to reduce that and to process the information better but doing it with far more would only cause her main body to become overloaded with information all at once and would drain her mentally.

At first Tiffany had set herself a limit to how many toys she would control or how big of a size they would be but then an alternative solution was found.

Not every part under her control needed to be used by her and only some areas could be used more efficiently so she had concentrated on using only one of two parts like the eyes and ears which had reduced her burden further.

Most other Quirk users tended to hand some form of limit that they needed to overcome to grow the range of their Quirk abilities further and to work on their weaknesses.

An example would be fire users that would overheat after using their powers too much so they would eventually have to cool themselves down before using their Quirk again.

It was the same for Tiffany and although she was slowly learning how to better make use of her other parts in different ways, she still had a limitation to how much she could do all at once.

When she was controlling other parts of herself she would be drained so it was better to shut off some parts of her main body that would use up more of her power.

For example, it was better to possess another part of herself when she was asleep or resting the main body so that she only made use of the other parts that would drain her without having anything extra to deal with at the same time.

Controlling other parts nearby would only require one line of sight to see where the other parts were so not every perspective of her parts needed to be made use of.

The smaller the part that she wished to control or less complicated its was, the less energy that would be consumed so it was far more efficient to make use of simpler or smaller dolls or toys if she wished to control many at once.

They were not restricted by range so the connection did not get cut off unless she chose to do so and they would usually sit in a dormant state unless she moved or possessed them.

Each stop that the carnival had performed at had many prizes being taken back home by families or were gifted to others so her range of surveillance was slowly spreading.

Sometimes there was some boring things that she had spied on while some other partly useful information was gathered but she had not yet been able to figure out a use for them.

Through the eyes and ears of some other prizes that were won, Tiffany was slowly expanding her knowledge and experiences of the world through her connection to those parts of herself.

A toy could have been placed just about anywhere from being in a bedroom, a living room, at work or within a school so there was a wide range of different things that Tiffany could look on and learn from.

While kids were busy learning the basics at school, so was the toy that was seated on the shelf that Tiffany was making use of.
