[X] . . . let them walk and try to spy on them.

As I stated before, I don't think being a criminal denies you the rights to pay respect for dead. I'm going to treat this as an honest request even if it's likely to have ulterior motives. Talk is already winning anyway.
 
Just something I wanted to talk about for Shelley: I have reasonable covers for both those plans I wanted for her.

Princess (P9); the power never came up, since there weren't that many animals inside WM. The music talent had to be practiced, didn't come packaged with the power, which is why she stayed as a music teacher.

Carmilla (P10 or P13): Either she gets a new identity from dysmorphic mutations, or we make up an excuse like "Justice Unlimited helped me control these powers way back when, and we only discovered the power up part of my vampire urges recently". Either that, or "I've been a vigilante for a while, but I only started doing pure combat once I moved into the Apiary".

[X] . . . talk. Fuck this, the only way to win is not to play.
Buying time is good, finding a way to turn the conversation around on her would be better. Maybe point out she's freed some massively dangerous people with a lot of victims behind them, and the Marinette situation proves her control is certainly not reliable.

Seems like an almost unanimous vote. While walking and spying would be... okay...

Do we really want to bring Monarch into a more crowded area where all the children are WITH Silvo over here ready to throw hands?

That seems like a really bad idea
 
... why do I fear the dice will revolt now?

Oh gosh I really wish we could take that 12 it would allow us to get a Major success ;~;
Please dice I beg don't let this be a thing where we tempted you and now we're gonna faaaaiilll-

The dice in this quest are not kind.

I know at least one quest where, much to the QMs suffering, the dice have a statistically-improbably high average, lol

Okay, this is a blowout. Gonna lock up in two hours. Taking tonight off, so I'll only do the main rolls tonight.

Damn, that's probably the fastest I've seen any quest lock up their vote. That's what, six hours? Crazy how good cutting the metaphorical Gordian Knot is.

Nah, the dice here are fine. They're sometimes a bit low (those luck rolls hurt) but it cancels out by those sweet sweet crits we have on occasion. And we've never had anything outright mission-failing (and three prominent missions with extra rewards thanks to us rolling well !)

There's stuff like TheInnerMoon's quests where the dice become so bad the quest has to stop.

I think some of the votes on To Live Is To Dream were just an hour or two, and the average for that quest is a day (with the author dropping updates as soon as the vote closes.)

I use a lot of threshold rolls for that reason.

And I used to update that quickly. The good old days. . . :(
 
Black Swan is probably something that SM hasn't really encountered before: someone strong enough for him to take seriously, but also someone who is actually willing to treat him like a person instead of an asset or obstacle. Some basic socialization will probably do him a surprising amount of good.
Idk, I think it's worse than you're making it out to be. After all...
He's a sports fan! A disappointed one, it seems.
He's not only a sports fan. Look at the specific teams he's a fan of
". . . the Winter Meetings are over for baseball, the Yankees didn't make any trades, and the Lakers and Patriots are terrible this year," he says, looking down and frowning, "I've tried, but I just can't get into hockey or football."
He's a fan of the Yankees, the Lakers, and the Patriots. Those are each teams of entirely different locations geographically, but there's one thing connecting them. They're the teams with the best record historically. Mr "yearn to be stronger uwu" isn't just a sports fan.

He's a fucking bandwagoner. He roots for whichever team is best solely because they're the best and it makes him feel like a winner for it. A truly disgusting creature. No matter the Black Swan interactions, at this point I knew he was irredeemable.
 
Tbh, I'm kind interested in knowing more about Scarlet Maturity.

I don't know why, sounds like there's something more behind him.

Still 100% unapologetic bad guy, tho.

I'm so glad someone picked up on that lol. I nearly made his American football team the Cowboys, but they've been bad for too long.
