Right now the vote is 6-10-15 for Small-Large-Medium, so Medium's the clear frontrunner.

I honestly can't decide. The prospect of upgrading our support to get Alice as Manager in the future is very appealing if we choose one of the lower-end options to avoid some of the immediate attention.

Wish we could see what Alice actually does as a Manager to inform this decision.
So... Kicks Usagi's effective Stewardship up by 4-5 points. There's probably some other benefit involved, too.

I don't know what @Lunaryon would pick for that, but my guess would be that her benefit is "unlocks special actions." Because there are entire categories of things that Alice can do with the resources at her disposal that are totally outside the sphere of the kind of Stewardship actions Usagi has been able to take up to this point. Even if we found another character with comparable Stewardship, there'd be no guarantee they could do all the same things if they didn't have a major corporate conglomerate backing them up.

On the other hand, I suspect Alice will not directly boost Usagi's action economy or trait/stat gain in the same way as a counselor who's more likely to be closely involved in her activities. Since Alice can't spend much time with Usagi without someone noticing and drawing attention to her civilian identity, whereas Ami or Makoto or Luna or Naru can.

Das a lot of money.

Das a lot of Stewardship. This is a very good thing. Possibly the best Manager we could get for quite a while.

Lot of money forus, at least. With a normal allowance being 6 and Usagi usually spending 2 on candies and 2 on games, 1 is probably something like 5-10 dollars, certainly less than 20. So we're probably talking something like 100 and 200 hundred dollars per week, which is actually nearly a lower than average wage.

Not bad for coming from a kid :V

And yeah, definitely very good manager

She has contact we can't. She could organize a meeting with her parents in the future, and with the police through them.

She can probably sell valuable things we find, like the gem.

Once we go more public we could maybe open something like a magic school of some kind...

endless possibilities...
 
something about this is nagging at me, I know this is a reference to something but I can't remember.
meh, It will eventually come to me. only Idea I have is that the key is something they are searching for.
My first thought was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the drawing of Davy Jones' key that Captain Jack Sparrow acquired at the beginning of the movie.

The reason I don't want to go all in with Alice is that it might interfere with her story. Having her as a manager would be good, but she is busy running a company along with her own plot when she becomes a Precure. It might be better to find someone else with talent in Stewardship that won't be tied down by other serious obligations.

We really need the money though, especially if that guy at the shop has other magical goods we could use. Hopefully stuff that won't require a few turns to repair like a certain bracelet.

Why's that a problem? She's not a precure yet, and if she became one, why, that's MORE reason to keep her close and have both magical girl teams work together!

I'm unclear on why attention is so enormously bad (as long as our secret IDs are unaffected), so I for one am going for the highest level right off.

This works. Not sure about the magic offer, but the rest is mostly what I want.
 
Okay, whew. A space time key is not in play.

I had been worried about a keyblade which would definitely be a step up scale wise from what we're dealing with. I think we're good though (and only doing anime crossovers in this quest, though I'm not certain on that). We got some nice loot there. Surprised about another Jupiter artifact, but hey, it sounds great. We'll just pile every magical item on to our main fighter until she can just walk up to Metalia and kill her with a single 'boop'.

It feels like a bit of a leap to go straight to Large support, but honestly it feels like a good choice. We get a lot of benefits from it, and the increased attention probably isn't too big a deal as we'll likely get a fair amount of that anyways after we beat Jadeite. Alice seems cool, and I wouldn't mind having her help us out with Stewardship.
 
mh.. other than the keyblade already mentioned, the only other keys I can think of are the celestial keys from Fairy Tail, but that's both a completely different universe, and the important keys are golden, not silver.
 
For the large support and the base that comes with it... do we need it? Over on one of Shadowjack's episode reviews, someone pointed out that the Hino shrine works great as a base, since it gives the girls plenty of privacy and Usagi can tell her parents, absolutely truthfully, that she's going to a shrine instead of the manga secret base underneath her favorite arcade. Could Alice get us a base that would be more reassuring to Usagi's parents than that?
 
The big benefit in the large attention is that partnering with a media company lets us control the way that attention is raised. We get to control the narrative, instead of people making up their own minds, or worse, the Dark Kingdom trying to turn the public against us while they don't know enough to know better.

We're going to get attention one way or another, fast or slow. Instead of putting off the inevitable, let's make sure the first story out there is ours.

Could I potentially get a link, that sounds interesting
