You're assuming that Gomez's special ability is using a Learning slot for Occult actions. I hope you're correct, I'd love to use Doof's high Learning to summon demons, make potions etc. That would actually boost Gomez's importance, we might actually be capable of making a coven. However, you might be incorrect, Gomez might use his own Learning stats to complete Learning or Occult actions in our Occult slot, which would mean that we'd have the option of getting an effective fourth slot of Learning instead of Occult.

he is explicitly a scientist not a mage so any action that he would be able to leverage his learning Stat would be science-based not magic-based.

except for the issue that we already have a lot of high priority learning actions we can't really afford giving up a learning slot to buff a occult option.

Regardless I would rather have someone who brings in immediate concrete worth right now with something terrible happening either this coming turn or next turn after.

we will require turns of set up we should save him for when we are not in crunch time.

He just wants to rescue the light bulbs! Seriously, I don't think he'd be on the list if we couldn't work with him. His electric powers might be able to help with TECHNOR, he's a good person at heart, and he might change his mind if an AI told him that they weren't enslaved. I'd like to see him have a talk with Norm, really.

We are not helping with the vending machine uprising. Sure, we collect quarters just to be on the safe side, but best not to hurry it along.

For reference:

Hey, I'm not sure if this was brought up yet...

How about we throw Toffee into a black hole?

I know it won't kill him with the whole "he's a projection" thing, but that isn't my intent here.

There is a time manipulation thing related to black holes, where, if you get close enough, time moves slowly.

How slowly?

Slow enough for Toffee to be effectively time-stopped indefinitely, hopefully.

...huh. Obviously we'd need to think of a way to toss Toffee into a black hole that won't have the potential for insane collateral damage, and we'd need to get started on Phobos almost immediately after that since he and Toffee are keeping each other in check...but that might actually work. If nothing else it might buy us enough time to figure out a way to get rid of Toffee permanently.

Sure, but that doesn't rule out Occult actions or Occult slots. It just means that it would be magitech-flavored, not fantasy-flavored. I don't see why it should be abnormal for him to summon a demon through technomancy.

Eh. If I understand my physics correctly (I don't, I'm a humanities bachelor), Toffee'd spend a few hundred years of relative time trapped in the blackhole, but once he managed to cast a spell to teleport himself out, little time would have passed in the normal universe. Minutes, maybe.

Wrong direction. He'd spend a couple seconds in there and find centuries had passed outside. Same deal with speeding him up really fast with a mass accelerator.
 
This is all assuming that Toffee uses his lizard parts to do all his thinking instead of splitting the load between the lizard and the horrible goo dimension or just thinking with the horrible goo dimension and operating the lizard as an appendage.
 
Okay, new plan: throw Toffee into the sun, then blow up the sun, making it go supernova, thus becoming a black hole. Perfect!
 
Are we going to get Xanatos's Card now that we've been on a quest with him. We got Shego's after the Gala and Gantus' after Blue Hawaii.

perhaps it lets him use his learning for certain occult actions. which would be good don't get me wrong however he isn't immediately useful in a pinch.

we should get around to hiring him eventually.
However not right now We have a lot of other stuff we need to work on research ways what we need is more people able to go on claswe have a lot of other stuff we need to work on research wise what we need is more people able to go on quests and fill in on occult actions to give Janna some time to prepare herself.

besides we need more straight up magic casters in our organization for Coven probably. And he can't really help us navigate the multiverse.

again to reiterate a minute saying that we don't take him eventually but he is not our priority right now.

If he thinks with only the goo dimension, then we could use time dilation over an area to our advantage, and even if his projection enters the area, he wouldn't benefit from it.

The requirements for getting cards for meetings is a bit unsaid, it seems to involve how much we actually understand them. Note that Shego wasn't exactly subtle with her abilities, and Jumba would presumably be willing to tell us all about Gantu, whereas Xanatos and even Owen/Puck remained more subtle and restrained.

I've joked before that Xanatos card should just read "Nice try, Doof - X".

A Mask
  • Sidestory
    • You are Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and you are sick and tired of people mistaking you for a pharmacist! You had been thinking of building a power armor anyways, but now, you were resolved! You'd build something so intimidating, so obviously EVIL, no one would ever dream of confusing you for a pharmacist ever again!

    First, the armor! You didn't want to build something bulky and hard to move in, your various fights with Perry the Platypus had certainly taught you the importance of being inflexible, and by that you meant COMPLETELY FLEXIBLE! So no, no big, hulking power armor for you. Frankly, it'd probably look silly anyways. You'll go with something slimmer, something that could even be worn under your clothes with no one the wiser.

    Now, just the armor would look a bit silly, a proper Evil getup needs some style, some flair! You know, you think you'll cover yourself with an all-black mantle, that's a classic Evil ensemble, right? Yeees, a black mantle, with a big cape an a cowl, and black gloves and boots! And spikes, it'll need spikes, of course. Oooh, you'll look so Evil, Greatest Evil Shego will be shaking in her boots!

    And now, a Mask! Of course you need a mask, what could be more Evil than a mask? You're thinking... something metal, a cold and unfeeling iron visage, with soulless eyes staring into the world! And of course, it'll need space for your nose, breathing is important for fights! You're sure it'll look very intimidating.


    Yes, yes, it's perfect, you just have to fire up your Costume-Assemble-Inator and check out how it looks right NOW! Just as you are finishing putting on your Eeeeevil Ensemble, Max comes into your office, looking worried.

    "Uuh, Bossman, could I ask you abou... Wait a minute, what's a plague doctor doing here ?"

    ...

    "CURSE YOU, BUBONIC PLAGUE!"

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    So, I was thinking about power armor, and how Doof would look in a DOCTOR DOOM getup, only his nose wouldn't fit in the mask. So I imagined what a mask with a pointy iron nose would look like and this is what came out of it.

    Speaking of Phobos, How do we get rid of Him? I have no knowledge on W.I.T.C.H.

    Throw him at Bill.

    If you want an idea that doesn't require us to have lost, I've got nothing. Truth be told, the only Disney property in this Quest that I've actually watched at some point in the last decade is Gravity Falls. I've looked at some clips of Phineas and Ferb since I've joined the Quest, but most of what I know about anything else I've picked up from here.

    What about rigging up some kind of dimensional exclusion zone preventing extradimensional travel or a dimensional lock only allowing access to specified personnel?

    while a reasonable end goal, we barely understand how dimensional rifts are opened at this point, closing them/preventing them from being opened is wholely beyond our capacity

    It's definitely a thing that can be done, though, and unlike proposed aggressive actions against Toffee success wouldn't risk handing existence to Phobos.
     
    @Cjdavis103 Do we know if the DC of Form a Coven will go down the more mages we have? If not, maybe we should just have Janna try to start it immediately. One in three odds of doubling our Occult slots really isn't a bad gamble.

    I'd rather not go on a quest this turn, especially if catastrophe is looming this or next turn. We've got a bunch of personal actions that would be really nice to complete before it's go time. Lizzie's escape tunnel, Mirage's gatcha roll, Wile E's trap-setting, Ludivine's teaching roll, Tobe's training actions.

    I'd like to have a chat with Inquinator before we start the One Man's Trash quest, anyway. Let him down easy, explain to him that we're out of his league and that we're just not that into him. Maybe set him up with a nice superhero to monologue to. And if anything interesting happens as a result of that talk, it might affect the quest.

    As for Toffee, is there any rush? For whatever reason he's focused on selling corn instead of invading with a vast army and we can interfere with him selling much corn by outcompeting him with other foods. Sycorax is interested in genetically-altered rice, we could help with that. Plus, if we help other people flood the food market, he won't only blame us.

    Things DEI Employees are No Longer Allowed to Do

    • Things DEI Employees are No Longer Allowed to Do​



    Version 4.15156172151920



    Note: Along with the new additions, this update consists of the fixes done to the list after the mass tampering of the previous version. Please disregard said previous version, and anything listed on there should be ignored unless explicitly told otherwise.



    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    167. The coffee machines in the office are, surprisingly, company property. Any attempts to remove them from the building is considered a crime.

    167a. This does not mean to move one into your personal office space and claim you brought it from home

    167b. If you're trying to steal the coffee machine, saying it told you to is a very transparent lie.

    167bi. Janna, don't put googly eyes on the coffee machines. -Dr. Doof

    167c. Whoever placed the out of order sign on the one on the sixth floor, congratulations for causing the other machines to be crowded until someone noticed it still worked properly.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    168. Just because the new AI Princess Coffee Java is now working with the city council and then they left on vacation for weeks doesn't mean that they were replaced with Machine Overlords.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    169. Despite all expressions to the contrary, Bueno Nacho is not acceptable catering for company events.

    169a. Yes, we know no one thought it was. And yet someone did it anyway.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    170. The employee who put up that picture with Doctor Doofenshmirtz and 'Greatest Rival' Shego surrounded by hearts should probably take it down before he gets back.

    170a. Or before her brother sees it and manages to tell her about it.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    171. If Kitsune walks up to you and offers you tea, politely make an excuse and walk away slowly. We're still fixing the scorch marks from the last time someone drank it.

    171a. If you see her approaching the boss's daughter, call the boss immediately.

    171b. Apparently some of the time her tea is perfectly normal. It is still a good idea not to drink it on the off chance that it isn't.



    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    172. Just because the dinosaurs have organized into Dinosaur Mounties doesn't mean that they should be put into plain Mountie uniforms. Armor specifically designed for dinosaurs is in the development phase.

    172a. Although whoever managed to get them is encouraged to reveal where they managed to obtain excellent fitting uniforms for dinosaurs.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    173. Contrary to popular belief, DEI does not remove hated persons of interest and unnecessary "problems" by throwing them off the Hoover Dam. It isn't even in the Tri-State Area.

    173a. Nor are they donated to the science department for SCIENCE!

    173b. Nor are they used as ritual foci.

    173c. Nor is it given to Agent Russ to "disappear". As it turns out, if we are getting rid of things in a shady fashion, we wouldn't give it to the government agent so law enforcement would find out. Who knew?

    173d. The above is not confirmation that we are secretly removing "problems".



    A/N: Inspired by "Things Xcom Operatives are No Longer Allowed to Do."
