Since Tom was successful in summoning Celena the Shy, what would you like to ask her about in the upcoming reading? Pick two.
[ ] 'Twelfth Night'
[ ] Something else about DEI
[ ] Something about Tom himself
Definitely going for options 1 and 2.
As for the payouts:
- Agreements with some of the Zaibatsu is pretty nice (especially regarding their specialities), but as I feared, their relatively fractious nature keeps them from being as useful as they could be once Yokai finally corralled them together.
- Mirage being able to draw from SFIT types is definitely something interesting.
- The Supply Chain bit is interesting partly because I got no clue what it´s even really about...since the names are similar, maybe it got some synergy with our "Comedize Supply Chains" NA?
- Considering that most times we don´t really need Vanessa for NAs or Quests, her gettign a five-turn boost to PAs is definitely a huge boon for both her and us.
- It´s always good when your employees (especially one of the "Inner Circle") can use their work to form social bonds to other people...although her danger senses starting to ring at Bakaemono Corps "air" isn´t too bad either.
Mirage really is one of our less appreciated hero units, isn't she? She's done great work so far.
I consider her our unofficial Nr. 2, especially on the recruitment angle.
Honestly, with Goofy continuing to be our public/diplomatic "Face", Mirage handling the day-to-day business as well as recruitment angle, Russ handling any "backroom endeavours" (at least the ones that aren´t *super*-shady) and Janna being our Occult MONSTER, I feel that out of our "Inner Circle", friggin Genghis Khan is the one lagging behind a bit...then again, he still is being held back by his "Fish outta Temporal Waters" status.
Okay so I usually make my first post after the update a "clever" little quip so please pay attention to the fact that I am not here.
'Twelth Night' is the wrong choice. The Interlude is happening either before our next turn or directly afterwards; therefore, any information we get on it will not be actionable. If it weren't for the Probabilit-inator, maybe, but...we're locked into our choices, as-is.
The very fact that we are getting an option to ask about something we got no *direct* in-character knowledge of tells me, that asking about it will benefit us hugely in some fashion.
