That's a surprising result.
Probably not a good idea.

It's like the universe has given Lisa The bad luck of Peter Parker.
Such is the fate of the wiseass.
Probably should meet Taylor just with us though. Victoria's aura is not a good start.

In the medium term, yes. I want to take care of our outstanding quests (coughCoilcough) and go deep into psionics first.

-[X]Tell Victoria that she can only come along if Amy wants to come as well.
That way we aren't the one telling her no and don't have to worry about her showing up anyway. We then can get Panacea to give Taylor and Dain check overs, who knows what kind of side effects could have happened from using an untested prototype. Not to mention Taylor would probably like to meat the two of them.

So yeah, because things aren't meta enough yet, I decided that Victoria watched Sailor Moon or it's Bet Equivalent when she was a little girl. She might have suggestions for Taylor.
While it should be snatched up by now, I'd be OK with it, if only for the amusing things it lets me do with Chicago's resident Wizard.
Initial spells you can learn will be limited to stuff like lighting a candle, but that will open the door for future advancement.
That could work too.
Does that mean she'll wind up having a relationship with a hot redhead?

Emma.
Social-fuing her onto a better path, if you remember, was one of the side reasons why I pushed for the paralegal + New Wave route in the first place.

Dennis stood outside her door wearing a tight black sweater and smile mischievously at Lisa "Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot." Lisa slammed the door shut and starting going "Nop, no no no no no oh dear god why!"
Isn't Alec, Rachael and Amy red heads as well?

But Dennis has the jokes and potential for banter! (plus its kinda-sorta a dating catwoman thing too so it'd be amusing
)No in at least 2 of the 3 people. Amy has brown hair and Alec has black hair.

We can ask Taylor if she wants to meet Vicky and Amy when we actually talk to her.

I suspect Kaiser is keeping his own tabs on Purity. This could save us some effort and, if we tell Purity that Kaiser was watching her, drive a deeper wedge between the two.

Efficiency!
[X] Raise Law to level 4
[X] Raise Public Relations to level 4

New Wave is now a little less dysfunctional now that Amy/Vicky has been mostly defused, but there's a long way to go.
[X] Train Empathic Manipulation (10 XP)
The entire Psionics tree will be extremely important if we ever want to woo the Simurgh. To the side of good. There is no shipping here! Of course there is.

So that means Rachael is a red head too.... poor Lisa, this means there are going to three unappealing potential suitors interested in her and if she ever dated a blond, that person would die because of a mistake Lisa would make......

Bah. That's a simple problem to solve. Just date one that can fly.So that means Rachael is a red head too.... poor Lisa, this means there are going to three unappealing potential suitors interested in her and if she ever dated a blond, that person would die because of a mistake Lisa would make......

I can think of four different blondes who can fly, two of which are local, and I haven't the slightest idea which one you mean.

I don't think Lisa should date any blonds, lets face it they are doomed to die for the drama. a fruit fly wouldn't be envious of how long they left to live.

The solution to that is to date a blonde who's absurdly hard to kill, e.g. Ciara.

That would only make her even more likely to die, given how narrativium works.

Or just date someone with their own personal shield powers thats also capable of shielding us (Eric)
