Plus it gives time for Tim to complete Kayleigh's Device and for Missy's mutation to settle. (This of course means that two out of the four of us will be able to understand Japanese, so if we 'have to' split up the pairings are obvious :lol: )

I certainly like the way you think, but I wasn't completely sure on the timing of this when we'd already voted for Tim to build Kayleigh's device. Presumably left up to Silently Watches how to handle it, but I can see a route where Laura is wavering enough that Taylor gives Kayleigh her device early as a result of Kayleigh saying she just needs that little bit of a nudge (which also prompts the trip) or something.

RE: Catears, I am horribly biased to begin with (if the avatar wasn't enough, I'm very transhumanist) .... BUT from a narrative perspective, doesn't it play a little better for Missy to have some sort of mutation that requires a little lifestyle effort to adapt to? Rather than building up all of TIm's angst and worry about side effects, making Missy play assistant for a week to see what happens.... and then she gets the 0.1% lottery of a minor dye-job after all that.

It cheapens the earlier buildup in a way, and arguably sets up a path of her saying "see nbd now give me dragon wings" or something careless while Tim's left thinking he was over-worried and easing off safety protocols when it was really just 'luck'.

[X] Burn the Sinners – The Fallen made a BIG mistake ruining your vacation. The Protectorate should have the most information on them out of anyone, and you need that info to make the Fallen wish they had never been born.

[X] Law and Order – The PRT has announced a press conference to show off their newest strategy to stop crime in your city. Are they planning to reveal magic to the world? Pop over and see what's up.

[X] Social with Legend (and Standstill when applicable) about Standstill's situation. How she's being treated by others in the Protectorate is not good and the situation is untenable. An alternative to the current plan is Calamity Witch changing Standstill's power and Standstill being assigned as a 'liaison officer' or Protectorate Liaison to Calamity Witch and co. She'd effectively leave the Protectorate but as far as the Protectorate/PRT is concerned she's on detached duty. Which provides Standstill cover from accusation of turning coat again or running off.
[X] Social with Enforcers, ask about whether there are any magics known to the TSAB that could help Danny to remember or the Grey Boy victims to forget.

As a suggestion with the Legend socializing, a great alternative for Standstill to detached duty might be joining the Philly magical beast squad as a trainer. They'd make sure she was treated right, and she has expertise that's of genuine use in the post. It also wouldn't risk it being seen as us poaching a member.

[X] Daddy's Little Girl – It's been a while since you last checked on your dad. It hurts to see him and know that he doesn't and probably never will recognize you, but you should probably stomach the hurt and go to his nursing home.

Personally I don't see a point doing BtS right now considering Kay and Laura having even decided what they're doing, haven't gotten any devices let alone any training. This isn't taking into account Missy and Standstill and whatever we're doing about them. Our team isn't ready to go after the Fallen yet and I don't wanna start up the quest and not even get half way through cause we realize 'oh shit the team isn't all here', having a repeat of the Coil situation.

Presumably if we want to do Burn The Sinners in one swoop this arc we need to start this week or we'll be in the middle of it when the next Arc starts in 4 weeks. (1 week Recon, 1 week per Group = 4 weeks). So basically it's 'start now or wait til next Arc'

I was 70/30 on Bone of the Father vs. Daddy's Little Girl, I DO want to finish up with Danny, but heading off potential threats has to come first. (It's what Canon Taylor would have wanted... which probably isn't the healthiest metric for anything)

With SW pointing out that Law and Order will be the same anyway I feel comfortable spending time hunting down the fallen. I don't care about the cat ears vote either way.

I genuinely do not understand why you would not vote for Burn the Sinners, especially if you're just dropping it for Daddy's little girl.

I'm not wasting a build slot just to give Missy some unnecessary cat ears and I think the potential Empire plotline is more important than Danny when the problem is over for the moment.

Decided to vote for the Standstill social instead of the Japan trip since we are getting screentime with the other girls anyway and we know OoC that Standstill is waiting on us to move forward with the integration into our group.

The possibility of a successor to Empire 88 emerging here ought to be investigated and mitigated if at all possible. We are already locked into a collision course with the Fallen, we might as well seize the initiative so that we can make subsequent battles happen on our own terms instead of letting the Fallen choose when to fight. Law and Order is likely going to be a major event involving our own efforts, so we might as well go there, see what's happening, and provide help if needed.

I am indifferent about the other Social Activity options.

edit: I have been convinced by AceRaptor's reasoning to set in motion matters for Standstill for the second Social Activity.

Remember folks. Standstill will be going away and rebranding on September. We are on August. This is a time sensitive things folks. Doing a trip with Missy, Kayleigh and Laura is all well and good. But the sooner we get Standstill's situation sorted out the sooner we can fully recruit her and Legend can get the paperwork in order. Getting everything in order on Legend/PRT/Protectorate's end won't be a quick process. We ARE on a timer with Standstill. We are not with a trip to Japan on Earth Aleph with the girls.

Let's see... I'm curious.

looks like Missy is going to like milk. Still, more votes needed...
