Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

[] Attend school you have friends at school and you would like the memories of senior year and graduation even if they won't be teaching you anything worthwhile (If neither School nor getting your GED is chosen Molly will systematically skip class)

[] Get your GED and get out, on the other hand you can think of better things to to with your time (Costs 2 AP, frees you from spending anymore actions on school)
To have a comparison, would we have to spend 1 AP per month, 6 in total to successfully attend school?
 
It would be great for normal combat (though we have quite a few buffs by now, we'll have to choose carefully which to activate if we are on limited time).

But unlike Stamina it won't stack with our Shintai at all.
That's all right with me. Shintai isn't something we can or should be using casually, so an alternative Dexterity buff will be nice to have for all those times where Sailor Nuclear Hell Princess can't make an appearance.
 
Given our limited ability to spend essence (2/turn right now) I don't see it as a priority until we hit Essence 3 and can do 3/turn.

Total: 6AP


RATIONALE
School because Molly needs the social with her mortal friends, and it keeps her options open with regards to university.

Starting Up finishes establishing our diamond production and cash flow; the Jade Dogs have to be fed and supplied, and they might be seeing additional recruits as well.
Plus, cash flow gives us additional options with regards to Rosie and the Ordo.

Dreaming True is getting Rosie trained up to basic safety standards so that she doesnt stumble into trouble by mistake.
Its time sensitive; we probably need to get this done before Halloween. Once that is done, we can look at introducing her to the Ordo Lebetis and talking to her mother. We might introduce her to Lydia now.

Training in Lore unlocks Alchemy 1 for purchase.
Its almost finished; just needs 1 AP.

Restoring the Last Station is a slow and steady option.
No need to rush; at the rate we did it last turn, we'd be finished in three more months.
Also, it gives us time to see if the Jade Dogs are drawing additional interest.


===
It was a tough decision between Family Time and Spirit Speaker.

Ultimately, my decision was this: Lydia the daughter of the death god needs an introduction to the local ghost whisperer.
It will also be useful to get his input about precautions against dark and predatory spirits for sensitives like Rosie and the Ordo as well, before Halloween. There's a synergy there to be exploited.

Also, ghost activity is always a good indicator for necromancer activity, and Chicago has had the interest of too many necromancers in the last five years.

We MUST take Family Time next turn though.
Spend some onscreen time with Leech and the rest of the family. Also, October is spooky season when a lot more spirit stuff has access to the mortal world, so it makes sense that Molly spend extra time with her family then.

===
We can take a 1-month break from training with Brother Divsimar.
Tell him that with school starting again, we need to take a break to rearrange our schedule, see to some other affairs, and see to a friend (Rosie).Start again in October.

==
Odin can wait.
We have Mab in October/November, and Gard was there when Mab made that appointment. She would have told him about that.
He isnt going to take offense that we prioritized the Queen of Air and Darkness. One Immortal at a time.

==
I have NO interest in accosting Charity about her past before maxing out Empathy 5.
And there is no immediate hurry. As long as we do it by January/February Im good.

The flavor text on this one is in serious need of an update.

I don't think poking Odin is wise yet. We have no reason to believe that there's a need to rush, and he's a pretty hard core guy. It's worth noting that while he might not be the strongest person around, but when the dust settles Odin has always been one of the few to land on their feet.

I want to be a lot more prepared than we are before having that conversation.

    [X] Just relax: It's almost enough to make you feel guilty given all the good you could be doing, but it's been a while since you have just hung out, gone to one of Leeth's softball games or watched anime with Matthew
