Well, my question doesn't substantially change - does this mean we can't develop the other one later without special events?

Correct. The special events are basically the same, but this determines whether you can get flags for one or the other. The one you don't pick isn't permanently locked out, but it is pushed behind two or three other special rooms.

Workshop upgrades for multiple devices per turn are a decent way up the upgrade tree, but enhanced production should come in sooner if you get the right rolls. I'll say now that a lot of the rotating stock concerns are going to be handled once y'all actually see how long your items have for a service life, though.

I'm sorry, I don't quite follow. Do you mean that we have to pay for staff, or for the lodgers?

Good to see that Trissa isn't mad at us.
Also, how do we get to exchange all that to USD? 13-year-old kid constantly walking into a bank to exchange foreign currencies is going to start raise eyebrows.

At his point, we should just be happy that the place is structurally intact, aside from the windows, and that there is no mold or water damage in the structure itself.
Missing comma.
That's nasty.
That's good thing to have and useful to know.
That's... a really weird curse for a nazi knife.
Medicine still works after expiration date. It just starts slowly to lose its effectiveness.

We did good. 😊

Good thing, those are worth more than dollars. Still doesn't answer why they get such weird currencies in States. Do these evil alchemists just walk around with nothing but foreign currencies in their pockets?

Not really that weird if you consider its application as a torture device.
I assume that there's some kind of unscrupulous money exchanger who does this kinda stuff for the meguca and the mob.
... This is totally going to be his equivalent of 'hold my beer' isn't it. This is going to be his future catchphrase, of which meguca will song praises of for generations to come, isn't it.

You only have to pay for staff. The canteen funds itself mostly since your non-USD cash only makes up about a quarter of your revenue and you're serving a lot of poverty recipes backed up by some skilled dumpster diving. If you're willing to cut meat down to half a portion per day, I know at least a dozen dishes you can feed people at with an average menu price of $2/person/meal. Times four people times two meals a day, and things start looking pretty good.
As per the chapter title, you have an old coffee can in your room full of non-USD currency in it. Also as per the chapter title, you have ten thalers and a clipped dubloon in it.
The real reason you have this is because the magical girls automatically keep the dollars for themselves, and foist the international currencies off on you because you take them instead of forcing them to use a money-changer. For the important stuff like rent or buying goods, the girls use barter with you or each other.

I assume we're going to have to figure out some way to get money-changing services ourselves then? You know, so we can more effectively make use of the Weird Currency Tin. I mean, for things like Thalers a pawn shop may be our best bet - that and other similar services - but euros & the like we'll have to handle via a bank, which may be hard considering we're a 14 year old who may or may not have as many screws loose as fingers missing (and who's been living in an abandoned motel for I'd bet months).

This is a pretty basic function of being a support base/hub. Let's get started. Having this will also attract more MGs who will boost our revenue and supplies.

This is what our first customer wants and needs, so lets supply it to her.

Would also make a cool tag for the quest.
But why do these evil doers and monsters carry so much foreign and not-in-use-currency with them?
There are also shops and coin dealers that specifically buy and sell old coins and currencies. And if we manage to find a rare coin, that would be worth a lot of cash.
Also a lot of food get dramatically cheaper in bulk. Feeding five people in one pot is cheaper than feeding one person five times. And that goes up till around 20, where the cost jumps due to needing more people to physically do the work.

So, on a scale from No to Controls' Oldest House, how magical can we theoretically make our run-down little motel in the long run? I certainly wouldn't rest until it is completely invisible to anyone but magical girls, can freely rearrange its internals, exists in all the worlds cities at once and has a finnish sea god as a janitor!

Alternative explanation: someone was fighting a nazi and didn't want to die. So they cursed the weapon the nazi was attacking them with so it couldn't kill them.
A cursed knife might be a knife that applies a curse or it might be a knife that has been cursed.

First thing I'd want to get for our motel is a glamour that makes it look like a rundown building from the outside, and make non-magical people who try to go there to realize they have something else to do. Like Hogwarts.
Otherwise, someone is going to take note of it being fixed and having lot of squatters, or some hooligans decide to come and trash it again.

I'd put a hold on even thinking about crap like that until this place has more going for it then four livable rooms. Right now it's still just a nasty building. Get some basic utilities going, electricity, actual running water, maybe gas if it's set up for that. Probably does, it's pretty old. Then get a the magic girl equivalent of a contracter in, or maybe just a regular contracter to make sure the damn thing's not going to fall over and which parts aren't infested with mold. Then maybe see if anyone owns the building at all.
Like, magicking this place up is a nice idea, but that's so far down the priority list right now it's not worth thinking about. If you want ideas to give you a warm feeling about the future of this place, dream about getting the heater running.

Really torn between making sure MGs know what to do/where to go/what they'll face and making sure they actually live another day to fight again, but knowing is half the battle and you don't need meds if you don't get hurt badly enough to warrant them. Seeing as MGs can survive gut shots and rudimentary surgery without sterilized tools/anesthesia, the infirmary can wait until later.

No discussion for the wand, and although I DO feel the Mission Control will help us more, my reason for voting for it is simply because that's what I want, and reading the idea I was already like "We're gonna be a fucking adventurer guild, babe!"
I mean, things are already going pretty wrong, but they can heal by themselves even without our help, this would only make things better, not go from zero to one
Reading your idea I had another one on the curse: what if curses can be made by failed enchantments? This not only gives a reason for this curse, but also means a failure in item creation could be worse than just loosing the materials...
