-[] Poet Hill's literary circle. Try to learn from them how to tell a good song from a bad one. Get them to share the contacts of songwriters, especially those who have an interest in cyberpunk themes.
[] Regular Life: The boring part of urban fantasy.
-[] Do research on the state of the cyberpunk music scene. Select several groups and individual singers for a more detailed study; look at their Youtube clips. Don't focus on the success stories — the failures pose more interest. Grab a pen and a paper and write down the analysis: voice pitch, choreography, post-production tools, lyrics, etc. Find out as much as possible — at least one A4 page of information for every analyzed subject.

This is how I see the first steps to spread the word of Vox Mechanica via songs — prepare for making a Youtube clip. Maybe, it would be better to find a songwriter through the Internet, but let's try word of mouth first.

Glad to be back. :)

This mean we have 3 each for practice and social, right? Can we convert actions? Like, only pick one social and turn the other two in a normal action?

Yes, you have three each. Nope on the other stuff.

I appreciate the iniciative, but I'll ask that you keep to the available options. There'll be time for that once you actually know what Vox's deal is.

The first step to this would be talking with one of your parents.
 
Awesome update! Patch seems a really interesting character. I kind of loved her unperturbed attitude to this snotty young master of a practitioners attempt to bind her.

Interesting to see the kinds of options we have opening up.

I think laying some social foundations with our peers is important, but our parents are definitely our best way of getting insight into Vox and what it means to be a harbinger. Hmmm.

As an extension, working on the goblins and maybe giving them names is tempting. Goblin Magic is equal parts Potent, flexible and hilarious (and 100% Yuck, obviously).

A job seems essential, stuff costs money and we don't have enough going on to earn reliable money with our practice. Hopefully, our Charm and Sharp stats mean we can finagle something more interesting than working behind a till?

You could always hang out with two friends and one of your folks.

I'm dying to see what names they get, tbh.

Figured there is no big asks for the Parents, and this seemed an interesting blend of socials. Practice involves learning from the Folks, repairing a bit from said learning, and experimenting with the rewards from last fight. Also studying is good.
