Honestly that sound amplification technique is something that would be good to learn if it's not some bloodline technique.

Maybe Jiraya knows it as arena format for finals is something that is tradition and leaf might have used the technique in the exams they hosted in the past.
 
HOURS LATE, IT IS DONE!

[X] Action Plan: Hazou's Superlatively Stuffed Schedule
Wordcount: 280~
  • General
    • Check the plan with Jiraiya
    • No binding commitments on first meeting
  • Merchants
    • Meet with prior contacts
      • Bring gifts; 'excess' storage seals, perhaps
      • Buy wares to demonstrate in Leaf later
      • Ask what they need/want
        • imply possibility of assistance
      • Ask for other people who might appreciate a relationship
      • If receptive, offer sponsorship if approved
    • Make other contacts
  • Ami
    • For Jiraiya: Intent to test waters in casual setting with someone who is not a threat. Anything sensitive will be avoided.
      • Extra reasoning if necessary: Keiko is heartbroken about losing Ami, and partially blames Mari. Reconciliation between the two would help.
    • Send an invitation for a meeting
  • Ikeda
    • Arrange meeting.
    • Ask about life in Sand:
      • Her own.
      • Ninja's.
      • Civilians'.
    • Trade story-for-story if necessary.
      • Act: Be a bit too guarded around abilities, and overly detailed on other (safe) topics.
      • No actual OPSEC breaches, obviously.
    • Explain till'n'fills.
      • Improve economy, keep civilians happy, and are good practice for genin.
      • Would they work in Sand? Maybe mention them to higher-ups for brownie points?
      • If she seems interested, explain Uplift.
  • Watch matches. Cheer for ISC.
  • Oyabun
    • Arrange meeting.
    • Topic: Gambling
      • Half proceeds to Yakuza as before
  • Foreigners
    • Mist Genin/civilians
      • Float idea of Till'n'Fills as punishment duty
    • Rock/Lightning Genin/civilians
      • General pulse and initial contact
  • Contingencies
    • Armor
      • Insist on the Kotsuzui explanation at all times.
      • Ask Jiraiya whether to subtly draw attention to the "fuckup" or not. Act accordingly.
      • "Broke OPSEC with Sand genin" is now something Hazou "fucked up". Act accordingly.


Implemented an extra Shikamaru section, lifted Ikeda secion wholesale, refined merchant section to be more like Noumero's, refined Ami section to be more in line with other plan sections, on the fence about whether to include an Oyabun meeting, and that's about the list of the changelog!

Comments and votes appreciated :V

Ami section is now explicitly only extending an invitation.

At one point, the player Civ in the quest "Paths of Civilization" made the choice to harbor radical philosophers who were being persecuted in other nations. The player civ had a long history of promoting an aggressively free marketplace of ideas fighting to the death, and so had certain mechanical bonuses that allowed them to do this more safely than other civs. Their academies and public forums rapidly (i.e. over a couple decades IIRC) became breeding grounds for extremely virulent forms of various radical philosophies and theologies that the players were inoculated against but which many other nations were decidedly not.

By then sponsoring these heretical academics/philosophers/preachers to go back to their homelands with their ideas and rhetoric sharpened against many other competing philosophies, the player civ managed to basically light many of their neighbors on fire from the inside out, sparking several rebellions and revolutions.

@OliWhail @eaglejarl @Velorien It says the default range for explosives is "Range:0", and so I ask: Can Hazou make "Range:-1" (melee) explosives?
Yes, but they are basically glorified confetti poppers - mechanically, they don't actually add Stress (since there's only so strong you can make an explosive before it stops being melee range) and if they did people would get significant bonuses to their Athetics rolls to avoid the effects (since the AOE is small enough that almost any movement gets you clear)

Damn.

Oh well.

  • Arrange for a meeting at her leisure, preferably in a public setting.
  • DO NOT VIOLATE OPSEC AT ALL COSTS
    • If we feel manipulated, politely leave. Communicate this.
  • Topic: Social philosophy and family
    • Depending on result, float Till'n'Fill mission category

I would suggest making choosing a place were Ami can talk without fear of someone else listening.
She can't tell us her true feelings if another Mori/Mist ninja is listening.
Let's choose a place were OPSEC is safeguarded from both fronts and let's make this clear.

I would appreciate more detail on this. Is the meeting intended to take place this update (if Ami is available), or are you just sending an invitation for a later event? Does "social philosophy and family" include talking about Keiko?
 
[X] Action Plan: Hazou's Superlatively Stuffed Schedule

@huhYeahGoodPoint
I like this plan! Sets up Ami meeting without expecting it soon/ before Keiko's match, which I really like!

Do we want to include which general merchants to check out? I think the QMs have said in the past that specific promts are helpful.
 
I'd start testing with the following version:
  • Based on the air filter seal
  • Will calibrate over a few days, captures range of blood pressure. During resting and exertion.
  • Slowly stores blood (one tsp per day?) As long as BP is in the upper half of the observed range.
  • When BP is less than 50 percent of the lowest observed during that period, slowly release blood back into the body.
With some eventual goals:
  • Etched/embedded into the bone at the base of arms and legs, near major arteries and veins.
  • Pulls from arteries, releases into both arteries and veins.
  • Version for use in neck that can see large amount, releases into arteries, and can pump blood if it's not moving enough.
  • Version that can filter common poisons (from a blacklist) from blood.





Can we get someone (a tailor?) to prototype adding these to an otherwise standard ninja uniform? Also an undershirt.

It would just be adding a cinch near base of the arms and legs.
I didn't think of adapting the air filter seal, that's clever! It could even function as an emergency heart. Just leaves the question of how to safely get the seal into the body. Etching it on bone is an interesting idea. We haven't worked with solid surfaces yet though. We might need to mess around with stone first.
 

For some still-unexplained reason the players decided that they wanted to turn the disorganized ossified mess of fiefdoms on the buffer border of their monarchy into a dynamic, unified German revolutionary republic powerhouse. They got a dynamic, unified German revolutionary republic powerhouse on their formerly secure buffer border. The continent burned.

Unsealing biomass back into your system for use in continuing biological function strikes me as sketchy. Like, do I have to moneygram a Nigerian Prince for this?

If we asked Lady Aunt Sunny about regularly drawing full units of blood from ninja and then sealing it away, Kagome would start screaming halfway through the question and Aunt Lady Sunny would roundhouse kick us into next week.
 
"Let the Continent burn."
e: why doesn't resizing the image in the post editor work?
Because editing on SV (and perhaps Xenforo in general) frigging sucks

"Hey, do you want awkward spacing and a bunch of Ghost Bulletpoints?"

"No, I just want to edit out the part that people want me to edit out because they weren't satisfied with exactly how I phrased it for some reason. Even though this is the tenth revision to that particular statement alone."

"I'm going to fuck with the formatting on everything else then, okay?"

"..."

Storage seals maintain the things inside them in temporal stasis, so there's no worry about the blood going bad over time. The two open questions that occur to me are whether blood has chakra in it and can't be stored for that reason (I think the body's chakra coils are a separate system from blood, but I don't know for sure) and whether red blood cells qualify as living organisms that can't be stored. I doubt microscopic life qualifies because storing water works, and water found in the wild is full of the stuff. Maybe the storage seal just doesn't suck in the organisms, in which case we'd wind up with a storage seal that can only store blood plasma and not whole blood. That'd still be useful for treating extreme blood loss in an emergency, just not quite as useful. In any case we don't know what's true until we try it.

It'd be easy enough to test both of those by seeing if we can store a few drops of fresh blood with a regular storage seal. If we can then the plan is theoretically workable.
