[X] Explore The Street Outside with Super Spy

The lack of Biomass right now is the main hurdle, so I figure checking out our surrounding area is the best bet, as well as having a chance of finding new items.

[X] Plan: Plantify

Worried about this poster. It's pretty much a tutorial boss, isn't it? Or is it worse than that?

Idly wondering about potential assets:
- Scavenger + Grow + Filter - Sever Roomba, cleaning it of biomass both big (like rats) and small (like whatever filth is in water through Filter) for another biomass income.
- Strong + Shield + Purify - Rip the poster from the wall, be shielded from it's evil, cleanse it. A little templar!
- Hearing + Perceptive - Like Super Spy, but this one's more of a living listening station. Is someone screaming for help? You'll find out! Would work better if we got a Radio or something- then we could be listening both the air and the ether!
 
Can we add a shield and separation to our main body? In fact, then our photosynthesizing part could then be integrated back, and separated again. Some left in the basement, some sent to grow biomass near the moss, and some later moved to a safe haven. Thus, even if a piece of us is destroyed, we will not die and retain the functions. Well, it would also be nice to look better than a pile of meat / aberration, at least disguise the outer surface as moss...

Seems like we are in the middle of a magical cold war. It's a cool backstory.

We have some apartments we could use to help people by giving them a place to stay, but probably shouldn't invite people until we get rid of the evil poster, and we should probably investigate before we rush in.

Not quite sure the best way to get rid of the poster. We could try to burn it, but we don't want to set our house on fire. We could try to stab it through the wall from behind, to avoid it's watchful gaze, but I'm not sure how effective that would be. We could try to collapse the area and shred it with our main body, but that might not be the best for our health.

How does our Kudzu looks, is it regular plant or some kind of flesh garden.

Modifying yourself requires Biomass! Resources can only be used for Assets. However, if you want to use Biomass for that, go for it!

It is much more in line with the 'flesh garden' aesthetic than a regular plant.
 
Interesting quest! Looks like a fun excuse to break out the thesaurus.

Looking at things in RTS terms we need to work on our economy. Work on that Kudzu until it is worthy of it's name. Give it Spreading and Rapid as soon as we can.
Of course we don't want to freak everybody out so it needs to be accompanied by some disguise words like Mimicry.
But our disguises don't seem to hold up to more then casual inspection. Not without a lot more effort. The solution is to make sure nobody give them more then casual inspection! Give it Boring and Uninteresting, Commonplace or Normal.

Anyway in the short term this means we need biomass. We may actually want to recycle the current Kudzu to add to our Super Spy. 1 biomass a week is pretty insignificant compared to what we can probably get by exploring our local surroundings. Maybe find a dumpster or two to dig through. Give our spy Scavenger or Gatherer temporarily and maybe another stealth keyword like Subtle and have it find us some more biomass. Then once we have a few more biomass we can remake the Kudzu with more keywords.

Dealing with the poster soon seems good. Hopefully the Shield will be enough to prevent anything bad from happening. Maybe we should add an attack on to the spy too? Add poison on?

Can we recycle Keywords we get from items and does that get us the item back or does it turn to biomass?
 
Right then! To add to the vote:

[X] Plan Aggressively Cleaning House
-[X] Modify Super Spy with Shield from necklace
-[X] Modify Super Spy with Poison from Rat Poison
-[X] Recycle Fast from Super Spy
-[X] Recycle Photosynthetic from Kudzu
-[X] Modify Super Spy: Purifier
-[X] Modify Super Spy: Acid
-[X] Have super spy investigate the poster.

Add a bunch of stuff to the Super Spy in preparation for dealing with the poster. It was noted as dangerous after all.

It is evil. It is wrong. You can sense the fear coming off of it, the hatred, the malice concealed behind a captured grin. It is a poster, caged behind glass and steel, depicting a man. The man is smiling towards you, not out into the lobby, towards you. His eyes follow you, no matter where you go in the lobby, always smiling. His left hand bears a hammer and his right hand steadies a beam, his clothes incongruous with the work he is doing - A suit and tie for what should be workman's garb. The poster practically shouts out the words emblazoned beneath the man: "TRUST IN US - UNITED STEEL CORPORATION OF ALERIA." You should destroy this, as soon as you can. But it will be dangerous. You know it. (Discovered ???)

Purifying acid/poison should work as a weapon and fit the aesthetic. We can just redistribute everything again next turn after we deal with it.

And approval vote in case my plan doesn't get enough traction in time.

@JayTar I think the items retain their keywords when we recycle them? ie. We can move them to different assets but not convert items into different keywords.

I don't think my plan violates that? Unless I made a mistake.
I recycle Fast and Photosynthetic both of which were created using biomass, and then use the two biomass to give the Super Spy Purifier and Acid.

    -[X] have super spy investigate the poster.

    You've made up your mind. It's time to do something about that poster. You've got to put your house in order before anything else, right? And that poster is the last thing you've got to deal with before your Home is truly safe. With this in mind, you drape the Super Spy with the necklace from Sabrina, feeling the power of safety and shielding flow through your vessel. You secure it in place with flesh, ensuring that it cannot be ripped or torn away, sealing it beneath the skin of the Super Spy. With this, it will be safe against whatever that poster brings to bear. You hope.

    Creation Report Updated…Minorly, so I won't repost the whole thing
    Description: [...] Now with additional magical shielding!    ​

    You walk into the lobby, heading straight for the poster, ignoring the feelings emanating off of it. It can't hurt you, while you've got the Shield. You slide the glass up and-

    THIS IS NOT A MEMORY. THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE.

    YOU ARE IN A VOID SURROUNDED BY STARS. YOU ARE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM THAT IS AT THE HEART OF THE POSTER.

    THE STARS BLINK AT YOU. YOU BLINK BACK.

    FOR A SECOND, THEIR GAZE IS FOCUSED ON YOU. PEELING AWAY AT YOU.

    BUT WHAT IS THERE IS NOT YOU. IT IS SOMETHING ELSE YOU ARE INHABITING. THEY DO NOT KNOW YOUR TRUE NATURE. FOR A SECOND, YOU ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

    THIS IS NOT AN ENTITY. THIS IS NOT A BEING. THE THING YOU LOOK AT IS A PORTAL TO SOMEWHERE ELSE, THE HOME OF A CONGLOMERATE OF INFINITE DISDAIN. IT IS LEAKING OUT, SLOWLY - CORRUPTING THE AREA AROUND IT.

    YOU SEE DECADES IN AN INSTANT. THE INSTALLATION OF THE POSTER. THE PORTAL WORKED AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE - SPREADING THE INFLUENCE OF ITS MAKERS. ALLOWING THEIR PUPPETS TO DO THEIR WORK. TO DO THE WORK OF THIS THING THEY MADE.

    BUT WITH SO MANY PORTALS, WHO CAN MAINTAIN THEM ALL? WHO CARES TO MAINTAIN THEM ALL?

    TENANTS LEAVE. THE AIR IS NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS. THEIR SLEEP IS WORSE. THERE IS LESS LOVE IN THE AIR. THERE IS MORE DESPAIR IN THE EARTH.

    IT IS A CHANGE IN THE BLOOD. IT SEEPS FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO THE WORLD THROUGH A THOUSAND CUTS.

    CLOSE THE WOUND BEFORE IT BECOMES INFECTED.

    Your puppet slumps, the glass clanging back down into place as you reel back, overwhelmed by the sudden flood of things your brain can barely process. The necklace is burning hot within your skin, having yanked you out of whatever that was. You know only one thing - Whatever this is, you need to close it, before it gets worse. (??? is Revealed! Poster Portal has been discovered.)

    It is March 24th, 1923. You gain 1 Biomass per Week. Your current goals are to find someone who needs help, and help them and to close the Poster Portal (Time Limit: Ten Years). Your current Available Biomass is 0.
    Your Current Assets Are:
    1x Super Spy
    1x Kudzu
    Your Current Resources Are:
    1x Broken Toy (Keyword: Split)
    1x Rat Poison (Keyword: Poison)

    Your fully explored areas:
    Your Home!
    (Sub-Areas of Interest: The Lobby, Empty Apartments, Mossbed, Roof)
    You know of the following unexplored areas:
    The Street Outside
    (Sub-Areas: ???)
    The Rooftops
    (Sub-Areas: ???)​


    Asset Situations​


    Explore [Area] with [Asset]​

    Explore a location! Make sure to specify which asset is exploring - This will have an impact on what may or may not be discovered! Feel free to include write-in instructions if you so desire.​


    Visit Sabrina​

    You can visit Sabrina whenever you want, if you need her help with something, or if you just want to hang out! Make sure to write-in what you're visiting her about if you so desire.​


    Deal With The Poster​

    You need to deal with the Poster, and there's only one way to find out how - Experimentation. Throw something at the poster and see what happens. Note: This may cause damage to whatever assets you throw at the Poster.​


    Biomass Options​


    Create an Asset.​

    Create an asset and pick as many keywords as you'd like for them, so long as you have the Biomass!​


    Recycle An Asset​

    Recyle an asset or parts of an asset. Make sure to specify which asset and/or which keywords. Important Note: This can be done in the same 'turn' in which you create a new asset with the biomass from the old asset!​


    Modify Yourself​

    You currently have the Immutable Keywords of Magical Biohorror, Broadcaster, Immobile, and Idealist. You may add keywords to this, which will not be immutable and can be recycled and changed as you wish!​

    QM's Note: Congratulations on finding your first long-term goal! Anyways, here's a question for you all - Would you like a moratorium on these planning votes? This'll only apply once you exit the prologue, but I'm curious as to see what people would prefer.

    • Okay so if the portal is on a ten year time limit and we're doing one turn per week it's definitely not an immediate thing.

    [X] To the Skies
    -[X] Create an Asset (Swarm): Split
    -[X] Explore The Street Outside with Super Spy
    -[X] Explore the Rooftop with Swarm

    The idea here is to make one small expendable asset to poke up onto the rooftops and get started up there while the super spy explores outside. Next turn we can recycle the swarm and use the biomass to make something better adapted for whatever we find up there.

    On the subject of moratorium's I guess it will depend on how contentious the voting is.

    A short moratorium would not be a bad idea.

    Hmm, last turn was the 22 and this is the 24 so we lost two days.

    Good thing we had the shield. A time limit of ten years? Alright probably not something we are going to solve right now.

    [X] Plan Get some biomass
    -[X] Recycle the Kudzu
    -[X] Modify Super Spy: Scavenger
    -[X] Modify Super Spy: Subtle
    -[X] Modify Super Spy: Snake Skin (Refresh)
    -[X] Modify Super Spy: Rat Poison (Poison)
    -[X] Have super spy explore the street outside.

    One biomass a week isn't much so in the short term we should shift our resources over to our super spy. One biomass to help it avoid notice, one to help collect biomass, and add the snake skin on too because why not. Then once we have a few more biomass we recreate the Kudzu with much greater potential.

    I'm leery of sending out anything that doesn't have at least some basic disguise keywords though considering Sabrina's reaction to our core.

    Edit: Added the Rat Poison (Poison).

    Instead of recycling the Kudzu wholesale, you could just peel off every Keyword except Photosynthesis. It would probably still generate biomass slowly that way, it just would no longer get slowly higher value due to Grow, and might eventually deplete the Mossbed due to lacking Refresh.
    Neither of which are major concerns while we're operating day-to-day.

    It's one 'turn' a day right now (bar unusual circumstances such as the Portal causing you to lose time).

    Maybe but I figured that the added value to the Super Spy was worth more then the 1/7 of a biomass a turn the Kudzu gives us. Without Subtle we have added risk of discovery, without Scavenger we probably won't be bringing back as much biomass. (Not sure what refresh will give but it probably won't hurt. Maybe a healing factor if something happens? Or maybe it will combine with the spy stuff and erase the signs of our presence as we go.)

    My hope is that a whole day of exploration will net us at least a few biomass. Possibly with an additional day after specifically for collecting biomass (Maybe dumpster diving? Rotten and moldy food is likely fine for us.). So if say the next two days get us at least three biomass then we will only have lost out on 2/7th of a biomass from recycling the Kudzu.

    Then we recycle them back off the super spy to make a really good Kudzu with 5+ keywords. Something that produces biomass on a timescale useful to us.

    Ah well, I didn't think we would be operating on a faster cycle than the biomass. But my mistake. I've dropped the flight. So the Swarm can just be a fairly rudimentary asset that pops up on the roof and takes a quick look around. Since it's the roof there hopefully won't be anyone else up there to see it.
