As others have said:
😏📈HELTH
As readers and questers, we're always happy to have more content, but not if that means you suffering. You suffering could lead to long breaks to fix things that could have been avoided with short breaks, meaning we get less content, and less-good content. It might sound a bit paradoxical or cruel, but you staying healthy keeps the story healthy. So please, take as long as you need!
I've waited a decade for a fanfic to update; a few months is nothing.

"Man" and "dude" kinda just mean "person" in my head, especially online, but it's understandable that not everyone agrees on that.

Dude is gender-neutral. I use it for my mom sometimes
Timothy
Not actually the moon
I don't think I've ever met a person in real life who used dude as anything other than gender-neutral. It is weirdly consistent?? Even though 'dude' has always had a kind of masculine association in my head? I have NO IDEA why this is a thing. Language is friggen weird.

Dude is, like, surfer dudes' lingo, maybe a bit hippie-trippy, too. And while there are, of course, female surfers and hippies, the stereotypical image that pops up in your head is a man, nine times out of ten. He's just, like, a dude, maaan. lmao

You mean like business cards? How does the chakra paper help with that? By telling others what your chakra natures are? I forget if ninja in naruto have unique chakra signals or w/e.
Ninja Info Cards are a type of ninja tool where information can be burned on it by using chakra. The cards look blank to the naked eye with the kanji for "shinobi" (忍) on the back, but when chakra is applied, various categories of data ranging from information about the Five Great Shinobi Countries to the ninja that inhabit them are displayed on the card, even in 3-D. However, only the person who originally burned the data onto the card is able to retrieve it. -from the naruto wiki
seems more like just an easy way to take important notes for Ninja without the information being at risk of getting out.

Turn 11: Spring, Year 60 HVE
Endo is sitting on your desk when you come in one morning, bag over her shoulder.
"I might take a while out there," she says, "but this is too big an opportunity to sit on. I'm getting a contract."
"Made up your mind, then," you say, maneuvering around to your side of the desk and sitting down. It turns out that Endo being your friend means a lot of unexpected visits; that just means you've come to expect them.
Endo nods. "Squirrel. Maybe it's a little silly, but the old legends... they reminded me of simpler times. Dreams about being the hero, saving the day."
"Saving princes and princesses?" you ask, glancing up from the reports already in your hand.
Endo snorts at that. "Yeah, sure. The Junior Warden should be able to handle things while I'm gone, but if she gets finicky about Argus or something, I trust you'll keep things in control?"
On the one hand, you're always glad to lend a hand to a friend and peer. On the other hand... "You think that'll be a problem in your absence?"
Tomoe shrugs. "I already briefed my top people on that particular mess, although I left the Tree out of it, but none of us were entirely graceful dealing with those revelations."
Having attempted to use a fire breathing jutsu on the Meteor the first time it confirmed its intelligence, you choose to say nothing on that topic. "I'll keep an ear out," you concede.
"Thanks." Endo stands up, rolling her shoulders. "I'm going to hit the road, then. You were my last stop before I split. Take care, Chiyome."
"Safe travels," you reply, and when you look back up again she's already gone.

SOCIAL ACTIONS:
You have two (2) actions every turn to interact with others. In addition, by default every turn there is a chance for someone not voted for to approach you about something.

Favor: +10
NOTE: Favor is the measure of the Spiders' trust and fondness, acting as a modifier on all rolls to secure their cooperation and acting as a gate to higher levels of power and knowledge. It will decrease if the Spiders feel you take much more than you give, and increase if the Spiders feel you're being particularly generous and respectful.
There will be a twelve-hour moratorium.
AN: Okay so it turns out that mental health issues take a really long time to even see people for and in the meantime I got so impatient I just pushed the rest of this through. Eat well, gang, bc bear is back on the menu.

[ ] Seek new power from the Spiders. While the wisdom of summoners is their greatest asset, the unique abilities afforded by their contracts are no small benefit.*
[ ] Seek expert training from the Spiders. They are skilled in many fields, and have much they can teach you.*
[ ] Seek the Spiders' expertise on a Research Center project. They can lend expertise or material aid to your own efforts, as long as it's within their specialties.*
[ ] Request a spider-silk kimono.
[ ] Meet more members of the Silken Court.
[ ] Receive tutelage in art. They want you to know it, they may as well show you how.
[ ] See what gifts are appropriate for the Spiders. Better to know so you can make the appropriate gestures of thanks.
[ ] See how you can aid the Silken Court. Your free time is scarce, but you can make some to assist your allies.
There will be a twelve-hour moratorium.
AN: Okay so it turns out that mental health issues take a really long time to even see people for and in the meantime I got so impatient I just pushed the rest of this through. Eat well, gang, bc bear is back on the menu.

Alright people, let's get to work. We have a job to do.
Also, nice that Endo wound up.going for squirrels. Now we just need to find a Heron Summoner, and I already have an idea for our first pick for that one.

I mean... not that I blame the guy, when you finally find a goose that lays golden eggs, why bother messing with what clearly works?

To be clear, Free Rein is effectively a "do whatever" kind of stance for each department. Unless told by the Director to pick up some other task, they'll spend their time spitballing and drumming up ideas relevant to their area of expertise.

What's the significance of the * at the end of some actions?
Also, jeez, we've got to make 225 BP last two turns. Somehow I think our departments aren't staying on Free Rein, earn your bloody keep.

@baskinglobster, I'm noticing that the option to look into the Kiri Expat Bloodlines has disappeared. Is that intentional?
The * means it'll trigger a mini vote, depending on what exactly it's attached to. Like when we first voted to ask the Meteor questions, then decided what exactly we wanted to ask it.

Correct.
Nnnnnno, hang on a moment.
EDIT: Fixed. You'll find them, plus the Black Thorns research action, under "The Meteor & The Tree" as kekkei genkai research is now being studied with the understanding of a possible connection to the World-Swallowing Tree and its chakra.
