Finally, as an overview, it feels like we've been in a holding pattern for a while. Maybe it's because we've taken the low hanging research fruit, but we haven't made any large strides forward recently (maybe summoning contract, but still). I'd be down for beginning a quest with more of a clear objective than what we have now.

Reasonably soon we are going to go on another scroll hunt. Since we have good leads on either the otter or the kraken scroll we can head out for either of those. Just waiting on a few more things and we will meet the requirements to go on the mission.

Random Omake Ideas Currently up for Adoption:

Bioshock-styled MfD, since Hazou seems like he'd say "no gods or kings, only man"

A House M.D styled Omake, "Why Tsunade Banned Orochimaru from helping out at the Hospital"

Hazou asks Ami to be his "platonic partner in the quest for world Uplift" on bended knee

Claimed by Halberdier, will link to it once it's posted

Keiko Pranks Noburi and Things Escalate

Haru Meets Ami

Hazou proposes marriage to Lee

Goketsu Bowling Day

Student Exchange where other ninja react to Goketsu Insanity

Claimed is a rather strong word for it...

With a challenge like that, I can't back down! You've kindled my fires of creativity, dying as they were! I'm still in the springtime of my Yo- *immediately gets murdered for suspicions of catching a memetic hazard*

Can we get a timeline update?

Also, while I rob you of the last of your spoons, does Hazou know whether adoption slots expire or not?

Done.

We'll get back to you on the slots.

Adoption slots are annual and cannot be saved up.

Additionally, it's time to split the timeline docs again. Part 5 is linked from the other parts and can be found here.

And these slots are awarded at the start of the year, right?

So... You know how there are people who rent goats to eat poison ivy? I wonder if we could capture chakra goats and let them commit unholy war crimes on the deathplants near the mine. I mean, we want a chakra farm anyway...

Edit: Welcome to the Goketsu Chakra Farm, home to 397 different species of chakra monsters, 8 different dinosaur specifies, and at least 3 biological abberations created by sealing failures! It has been 1 days since our last accident! Incidentally, we would like to remind you that the warning signs are there for a reason, and that you've all signed waivers.

I am generally in favor of Noburi bio-engineering chakra beast invasive species that consume the nastier chakra plants.

I'd ordinarily think that throwing ecologies out of whack could cause bad effects, but given how they currently are pretty much anything would be an improvement so no harm in trying.

HONOKA: And that, dear, was how chakra cabbages took over the world. Now go to sleep. Mummy needs to go refresh the seals on the shelter door.

There is only one force in the multiverse that's up to the task: Rabbit Team

Be aware that what you have is a sharkskin coat. There is not enough money in Leaf to get people to hunt an apex chakra predator in hostile terrain for the sake of clan ninja vanity.

What it was a sharkskin coat the whole time I have no idea what you're talking about

Why do you presume we haven't celebrate his birthday?

No, it's not for the sake of clan vanity. It's for the sake of an exorbitant quantity of money.

The timeline just got updated, Aug. 5th is the day we finished the mine and his birthday
Unless I was misinterpreting something, I think it checks out

[X] Action Plan: Nobster

List of things to do while we don't have an immediate path forward:

INTERPERSONAL
Noburi's birthday
Flashback to Hazou's birthday
Prepare further birthday gifts
Figure out how to become a better KEI ally
Have a game night (my personal favorite)
Research Orochimaru but carefully
Keep interacting with Keiko, Akane, and Ami, among other people

RESEARCH, PROJECTS, MINUTIA
Updates on the koi, chocolate monopoly
Engineering projects (sewers, skygliders, telescopes???, dog sleds)
How can we create more game-breaking seals?
Determine whether to take further action towards Iron Mine
Finalize adoption slot plans/priorities
Prepare for scroll hunt
Spy/Merchant network
Ensure the summoning trade network continues to feasible and finish laying groundwork
NECR 306 - Intro to Necromancy. (Jiraiyaaaaaa)
Hospital - morphine is going to become a thing, consider researching its properties and trying to prevent addiction

ACTIVE STUFF
Ino sidequest
Go on scroll hunt
Candoru/dogs - synchronizes well with some of the above and helps address firepower concerns
Solidify Mist alliance (Important for Ami, Hana, peace in the EN)

FOOM (begin it, strategize how to hide it, build OOC FOOM builds that can masquerade as IC non-FOOM builds)

Going into my signature - any other immediate ideas?

Prepare for scroll hunt - after thinking about it for a second, I'm worried about our abilities without an elite-jonin-Mari safety net
Spy/Merchant network

Low priority, but still an item for the list:
~~Assemble the necrovengers~~ Find others who share our alignment of ideas, recruit them for cursory investigations into resurrection techniques, make long term plans and research projects for this goal (not necessarily related to Orochimaru, we can be necromancers too dammit)

Continue solidifying Mist alliance with Leaf. We are simultaneously one of the best resources for that and one of the most contentious parts of the alliance. Might be worth looking into, anyway (also so we can see Hana again)

Also, we can start thinking of a gift for Mari's birthday.
