Alchemical Solutions [Worm/Exalted] Thread 8: Haggard Host Hopefully Homestead Hazardous Haven

And she most likely was an Exhibitionist at the start of her career also. So there is precedent, and its not going to be complete shock instead it's probably considered unusual though.

And Narwhal is Not Taylor. TAYLOR still has body image problems and would not be comfortable with that sort of thing.

It may have benefits, but the cost to Taylor's psyche would render them all moot since she would go out of her way to avoid any appearance of pandering to said reputation.

Like I said, think of what it will do to a withdrawn and beaten down teenage girl, which is what Taylor is only just recovering from being. It will do little more than cause her to backslide and taint the benefits her appearance gives her.

Doomlord's got the right of it. Please re-consider.
 
Oh for god's fucking sake.

Fine, I'll take down the stupid Exhibitionist vote.

Happy now?
 
She already notes she's being mentally undressed by guys earlier in the quest the rep might actually force her to deal with it and help to start getting over her body image issues, besides its only one dot.

It's not worth it right now. Let's just let it go and we'll address it again another time when Taylor doesn't have as many body issues.

Don't fucking put words in my mouth. TT would be able to figure out if we sicced the PRT on them or not and shocker she can't keep her mouth shut so it makes sense not to blow the whistle on them if we don't want to hurt our chances of recruiting them once we can actually talk to them.

I know it's hard to believe, but there are other priorities in this world beyond recruiting Tattletale. Not risking blowing our chances of recruiting heroes is one of them.

You also keep seem to be ignoring that we are part of the law here. How trustworthy does it make us look if we betray that straight away. If this is cops and robbers to her we want to be send as an honest cop, not a bent one. We've already told people in the Protectorate about the situation with the Undersiders. There's pretty much no reason not to continue to do so. What good reason is there for us not to tell Miss Militia, for example?

Tattletale also has no reason to expect discretion from us or blame her for not covering up for them. They've not asked for our help, indeed, they actively avoided us.
Jinnt said:
You left something out of that list too. We also know Coil was forcing Lisa to work for her at gunpoint that DOES matter.

We know that she told us that, and it seemed convincing. The fact that she was being blackmailed makes her no less dangerous though. We don't know whether Coil is still pulling her strings, or whether he's dead, or she thinks he's dead, and now she doesn't need us to bail her out she's gone right back to freelance supervillainy.

For what?
Jinnt said:
We have NO IDEA what her plans are because we didn't get to talk to her. Good luck getting Amy to rob a bank too.

Yes. We have no idea what her plans are. That's the problem. She could be going back to work for Coil for all we know. Considering that we just let Amy use her powers on us, and learn who knows what...

That's why covering for them would be such a peculiar thing to do IC, one that would likely set off all sorts of alarm bells.

ALSO STOP freaking voting for Diners without a stunt people come on. Talk about fucking opportunity costs lets throw away yet another stunt. I posted one if you don't like it then come up with your own but don't just throw a stunt out the window.

Doubtful, but trusting or helping Tattletale right now like you said, is going to cause us some problems.

I'm OOC pretty sure she isn't, but IC we've no reason to believe either way, and more importantly, neither has anyone who finds out we covered for them.
 
Yeah. Thinking about it... As much as I wonder if it's the optimal decision OOC, IC Taylor not telling the PRT would be insane. At this point, she knows very little about the Undersiders, and what she knows is not conductive to trust.
 
The Diner might be a good last opportunity to Stunt the coach and Josie to life, which could be interesting. We probably can't stunt one of them into having triggered with a decent combat power, though it would be useful.

Grom said they survived we don't have to stunt them to life (just if we want to see them again). We ALREADY gave the twins a good power lets just run with it.

Neither of them seem like good Alchemical candidates though, which is a shame.
 
Didn't the scene where Taylor first wakes up have one of the medics tell her that going around naked would distract others from doing their duty and thus be inefficient? Did that pass through one ear and out the other or something after her rest?
 
Jinnt said:
Honestly I think Heart here might be our worst mistake yet. I don't really get how you guys don't see that after the way the last few updates have gone trying to force social to work with Clarity is GOING TO BACKFIRE.

Not as bad as the Meditation event that screwed us out of seeing Danny before the PR event.

Doesn't really explain anything to a person that doesn't understand what the acronym stands for and doesn't really know Exalted.
"Just because you don't have the parts doesn't mean you aren't an eye-full, miss. I'd recommend at least putting some clothes on before going out."

You nod, judging the decision as sensible. Luckily, a quick check with one of your consciousnesses notes that your armor is fully repaired and recharged in your Elsewhere pocket.

Modified my vote:


[X] Write-In: Targetted recruitment: Carefully identify individuals who can be trusted with this within the Protectorate and PRT. Give them a partial pitch - they're unlikely to believe in Autochton as some giant alien being, so just present him like an extraordinarily powerful Tinker trying to enter our dimension. Seek help in finding potential recruits.

[X] Alert the PRT that the Undersiders have left with Panacea and Parian in tow.

[X] Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives: Sample New England cuisine to increase your own culinary profile.
-[X] Stunt: At the first place you stop at you actually spot a familiar face (twice) it's the Twins from Claredon, it looks like they're alone for some reason you'd better talk to them.
[X] Essence Reservoir-to-Heart: Provide counsel for a member of your caravan, getting to know them better as a mortal as well as evaluating them for Alchemical potential.
-[X] Stunt: Vista Time, she's seriously concerned about us at this point, so we need to reassure her that we're really fine, and explain a few things about our nature.

Use stunts to go have people we wanted to come with us but couldn't in the previous updates to end up in Philadelphia and worry about Clarity later?
 
[X] Alert the PRT that the Undersiders have left with Panacea and Parian in tow.

[X] Autochthon Wants YOU!: Actively bring up Alchemical information in conversation (where appropriate), work towards getting the PRT on your side for the recruitment effort, and begin openly speaking with potential candidates about how awesome it is to be a Bullshit Magical Robot.

[X] Essence Reservoir-to-Heart: Provide counsel for a member of your caravan, getting to know them better as a mortal as well as evaluating them for Alchemical potential.

Dodge MDV being the defense for "Ignore what was said" reflecting how stubborn Taylor is. So she did it to get the nurse off her case and then promptly goes Efficiently Naked at next opportunity. And it IS efficient! Her naked form is nonstick to dirt!

It's easy for me, I tend to be one of the early voters(since I like coming up with the stunts :p), skip to the update and it's within 2 pages of that.
