4. Janna doesn't realize Narwhals are real because she was in public school, has a learning of 7, and her only exposure to them is through Star's Narwhal blast.
She has a crush on John Keats. I don't think you're giving her enough credit here. Not that it should change the omake at all, it's a wonderful line and Janna would absolutely say that just to mess with Marco.
 
"As a mortal, you have no magic of your own. Not unless you want to burn ten minutes of your life force every time you light a candle. I am as magic as matter, but as humans you must tap into the natural magic of this world; its heart, the spring of its mana.
The Onmyouji of Japan did not merely study magic from their parchment. They discovered a system of glyphs that could manifest their spellwork directly from paper. Or anything, in truth, but paper was both disposable and plentiful. Each spell was contained in its own scroll, each glyph either drawn on the spot or prepared ahead of time, needing only a single command to activate."
A third time Kitsune traced the circle and a triangle within it, then a line bisecting them both. She crowned the line with a shape like a hat, and then finished the shape with two diagonal lines in the very center. The moment she touched the rune, the paper folded in on itself like an origami swan and burst into an orb of floating light.
Nice! She's learnt Luz's rune-style magic.

Also, has her "low attention span" trait ever actually happened for us? I can't remember if we've been lucky enough for it not to impede us yet or not.
 
And now I can see Janna making a unicorn horn shiv as her focus. Easy to hide and very effective against un armored foes and most of all fun to stab people with.

Additionally, her old "business associate" Brocamas has been implied to either sell the stuff or at least know how to acquire it back when we met him during the Auction...so that would be a possible way to get Unicorn Horns relatively easily

BRocamas! That's the name of the guy Janna was buddy-buddy with! I couldn't recall.
 
Well, that happened. I have been waiting for this ever since the results... and honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed. I mean, when I saw those numbers I expected something along the lines of, "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULLSHIT?! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!" Still, this works. Janna's stats and traits are overall improved (I mean, we never were affected by "I Got a Little Bored", but still, the risk is now nullified), Kitsune and Lizzie also got boosts, so that's awesome. Now all we have to do is find Janna a focus. Two ways we can do this: one, we can reach out to the Magus Bazar in some way for an artifact, or two, we can continue on Felldrake's Temple Quests (considering how they're starting to step up, I recommend we do this post-haste) in an attempt to acquire funds and find a suitable focus for Janna.
 
The Mystery-Inator

Ruling the Tri State Area is a lot more work than you expected. Honestly, it's exhausting, and you almost never have time to rest. This Inator is the product of sleep deprivation, you built most of it in your sleep, and were so tired you can't even remember what it was supposed to do in the first place. The only control is a big red button, should you push it?

Effects:????? (It wouldn't be a mystery if you knew what it was supposed to do)
 
New inators!

Bottomless-Pit-inator (Good): You once had a box of junk that was sitting in the attic for forever and you thought, "I bet I could just get rid of this whole box and my life would go on completely unaffected by the loss of whatever may be inside!" Well, that didn't turn out well. But what if the problem wasn't in the actual disposing, but the method of disposal? With this device, you now have the perfect means: a bottomless pit that sends your unwanted items away! You'll bet the public will love it!

Bottomless pit created in Doofania! Gain a slight increase in public opinion, as well as a +5 to all diplomacy actions involving the government, as they will want this method as well.

With this device, you now have the perfect means: a bottomless pit that sends your unwanted items away! You'll bet the public will love-! Oops...

Bottomless pit created in Doofania! Unfortunately, you hit a very popular public center when firing the ray, which then fell into the pit. Luckily, no one was hurt. Take a slight decrease in public opinion, as well as a -5 to all diplomacy actions involving the government, as they now question your sanity and your threat level.


Place-That-Sends-You-Mad-inator (Good): You came up with this idea after trying to deal with the maddening business that is bureaucracy and administration. You figured, "Why not weaponize this madness?" and built a ray that turns any bureaucratic and/or administrative building into a Place That Sends You Mad, straight out of that old Toon show with the Vikings and the Romans! Let's see your foes try and do their work now!

Pick a king to fire this ray at. For the next two turns, one of this king's Stewardship actions must be to send someone into the Place That Sends You Mad. Any degree of success on this roll can then be applied to a Stewardship action with a DC 100 or lower. However, on a failed roll, the unit sent into the Place That Sends You Mad goes mad for a certain amount of time (one turn for a bare failure, two turns for a regular failure, and three turns for a critical failure). Nothing can be done to fix this, the madness must run its course. Of course, the mad unit must be contained, which means the king must spend a personal action to put the unit in confinement until they are sane. Otherwise, they will run rampant in the streets and cause a slight decrease in public opinion.

March/April 2017 Rival Reports
Olympia
[ ] Push SRA Repeal on Senators
DC 110
58+33+36+3=130
Decent Success

Congressmen in Nevada, many newly elected, have come out in favor of Super rights and a general SRA repeal. Previously an SRA stronghold, the flipping of the state is seen as a signal of changing times in the Super community.

[ ] Collaborate with DEI on an issue
DC and roll to be voted on next turn phase

Olympia is willing to collaborate with you on a particular issue, but there are only so many things that they're interested in.

-[ ] Improve Recycling Programs
DC 45
A big part of being Greevil is learning to reduce, reuse and recycle. You've already made changes to your personal life by repurposing several of your old Inators, but in order to improve things nationwide you're going to have to give people some guidance on what proper recycling practices are. You've got it! Talking trash cans!
(Rewards: Contributes to overall Greevil image, slightly increases income as processes become more efficient, every third trashcan is given a helpful AI)

-[ ] Study Diecast Robotics
DC 130
Coyote and friends brought back a few scrapped robots from that terrible wasteland over in the Rust Belt. While their electronics are completely unrecoverable (you haven't seen that level of corrosion in electronics since… ever, really) you think you can still get some use out of them. According to the debriefing you read, there were thousands upon thousands of these things, seemingly churned out with little care or effort. While mass-producing a metal shell is certainly not beyond your capability, studying the little things seems to imply that the entire robot came out of the same one-press mold. That kind of efficiency could do wonders to your own supply lines, if you can just figure out how it works!

(Reward: Slight income increase from efficiency improvements, reduced DC of robotics-related actions)


-[ ] Develop a new social media platform
DC 140
ENCOM's 'The Grid' is firmly entrenched in the public consciousness, but Olympia believes there's still some room for a rival to appear.

-[ ] Collaborate on a new OS
DC 130
DoofOS is… not doing well, to say the least, and Olympia wants nothing to do with it. They did display some interest in creating a new OS from scratch, at least. You'd have to do some finagling on your own time to make sure it's reverse compatible with DoofOS, but on the bright side you'll have some much-needed fresh blood working on your computer systems.

-[ ] Lobby to legalize bot fights
DC 120
Bot fighting is the hottest thing on the west coast, despite being so illegal that dozens of people are busted for it every week. Your Olympian contacts are certain that this could be overcome- in time, at least- with a bit of lobbying in the right places. It wouldn't be as flashy as some of the other projects you're dreaming up, but bot fighting is much loved in central California, and having your company behind the movement is sure to garner some good will.

-[ ] Sponsor a cape
DC 75
Olympia is gearing up for a big push against the SRA, and there's no better way to show your support than by jointly sponsoring a cape with their help!

-[ ] Write-In
Will have to justify it in keeping with the company's interests as a telecoms, robotics and heroes corporation. Olympia does not want to make their supply lines reliant on Toons.

Cape Suzette
[ ] Increase International Shipping
DC 110
42+42+34+8=126
Decent Success

Cape Suzette has expanded its status as an international entrepot in recent months, the low-level simmer of sky piracy being overcome by favorable shipping lanes and the territory's tax haven status.

[ ] ???
DC 100
31+26+30+5=92
Bare Failure

Something Shere Khan was doing in secret nearly worked.

[ ] Restore US Relations
DC 125
77+33+25+6=141

The awkward cooling in relations with Suzette's administrative government has finally broken. The significant faux pas of Shere Khan 'accidentally' (few believe the claim) offering nuclear fusion plants to rogue states has taken significant effort from both Shere Khan himself and the civilian government to smooth over. This situation is far from behind them, but the Tiger can at least rest easy that there will be no sanctions coming his way for those doing business in the city's tax haven.

Xanatos Enterprises
[ ] Collaborate with Drakktech on a moonbase
DC 130
89+38+38+20 (Government Funding)+9=194
Great Success

Xanatos Enterprises and Drakktech have made astonishing progress on their government-sponsored moonbase. While still a far cry from the proposed 'permanent lunar colony', a long-term research base has been established, owing its rapid deployment to recent advances in rocketry. The cost of shipping materials into orbit is falling rapidly, a fact that both companies were quick to capitalize on.

???
[ ] Leak DEI Specs
DC 90
85+58+53+20 (Gift-Wrapped)=216
Critical Success!

You stumbled across something very worrying on the internet the other day. Apparently, someone has compiled a list of several DEI projects and leaked the juicy details online! Everything, from the details of Temujin's resurrection to the specs of your Normbots and DoofOS is out there in the public eye… or at least, everything LOVEMUFFIN seems to have touched. So, basically just those three things in terms of what's at all important. They're still secure in their cells- you've checked- but you have no idea how they were able to do this! Even though the DoofOS source code has been leaked, it's just as incomprehensible to the public as it was to your employees. It's less than likely that the public will be able to do anything with it, but on the other hand… it is still out there.

Drakktech
[ ] Collaborate with ENCOM on Virtual Reality
DC 120
59+25+55+20+5=164
Great Success

The 'Parvati' Virtual Reality system, the long-awaited result of a collaboration between ENCOM and Drakktech, was released last month to stupendous acclaim. The system boasts an extremely immersive headset that has eliminated the motion sickness problems other startup consoles have displayed, and on top of that, the system is extremely easy and intuitive to code for. In addition to several titles on release, multiple development studios have announced new titles in the coming years. Both companies are expected to make a tremendous profit off of this as well as further entrenching themselves in the tech sector.

[ ] Attempt to Break Impervium
DC ???
83+20+30+7=140
Expected Failure

Drakktech reported that its attempts to break Impervium were unsuccessful. Famous for the impossibility of just that, the outcome was expected by many and yielded only a bit of data in return for a lot of time wasted. Some suggest that 'upper leadership' pushed through the blunt force option passing over other more productive avenues. But generally not to her face.

[ ] Reverse-engineer superpower drugs
DC 100
30+20+25+20+6=101
Bare Success

Drakktech reported marginal success in reverse engineering the offerings of the Middleton Drug Cartel. While they weren't able to fully understand the mechanism behind the superpower-granting drugs, they were able to produce them in limited quantities and are rumored to be pursuing a government grant.

-SF Rumor Mill Bonus Report
Yokai
[ ] ???
DC 105
13+33+29-2=73
Miserable Failure

A few sightings of the mysterious 'Yokai' in San Fransokyo have already been chalked up to more salarymen drunk on sake. The few who believe the urban legend wonder what might have drawn the spirit out into the city.

Negaduck
[ ] ???
DC ???
26+72+48+50+4=200

The malefic mallard known as Negaduck was spotted several times on both coasts, committing various crimes of varying magnitude. No one was able to keep track of the fiend, moving across the country to cause countless felonies with no clear rhyme or reason. His current whereabouts are unknown.

???
[ ] Develop St. Canard?
DC 100
78+42+26+5=151
Great Success

The ex-prison city of St Canard has undergone significant revitalization over the past few months. Buildings have been rebuilt, streets have been cleaned, and evidence of the city's past is slowly being scrubbed away in an effort to prepare the city for some sort of new development. Exactly what that is, and if any real value can be gotten out of the charred husk across from Duckberg, remains to be seen.

Richard Martinez, President of the United States
[ ] Craft the Heroes Act
DC 100
100+41+36+29+7=213
Critical Success!

Bipartisanship is at a shocking high on Capitol Hill as legislators from both parties have united to craft the omnibus HEROES act. If passed, the act would not only restore protections for good-faith vigilantes, but also comprehensively reform Super law to avoid previous pitfalls and establish a clear registry of heroes who choose to act in the common good. The well-written and carefully crafted piece of legislation has succeeded at calming moderates afraid of abuse without angering pro-super proponents.

??? Success

You've noticed some odd theories during your weekly perusal of So Weird. Apparently there was a hailstorm the other day in Middleton with some very unusual precipitation. In addition to the normal hail one could expect, several people reported perfectly round, perfectly clear spheres of ice the size of a fist falling onto the ground. The spheres lasted throughout the storm undisturbed, only to melt immediately after being touched. Even fewer commenters reported finding odd objects inside the hailstones, such as screws, bolts, and living cockroaches.

To be Continued in Interlude: Thinkin' 'Bout the Government

Random Event Roll: 56

Famous Michelin Chef and television personality Bolton Gramercy has discreetly contacted you in your capacity as owner of Buenos Natches Inc., requesting to shoot an episode of his popular series 'Restaurant Wars' on location at the last remaining Bueno Nacho in existence. Gramercy is known for his brutal honesty and acerbic attitude in regards to culinary failings, so the employees might find him… trying. But then again… if anyone can turn Bueno Nacho around, it would be him.

Do you want to allow Gramercy to film his episode?

[ ] Yes
Minor opinion penalty for Hego, enormous opinion penalty for Ned
Major DC reduction for renovating Bueno Nacho

[ ] No
You get nothing.

There will be a ten hour moratorium on voting.
 
Normbots schematic being public is sorta bad.

We probably need to patch that up if we get the breathing space. Too bad it seems we are set to have too many things asking for our attention.
 
FANTASTIC!!!

We get a list of stuff people are willing to collaborate on. Most excellent news. We should do all the collaboration stuff we can now. Shego and Xanatos next.

Hmm... Shego is working to make drugs and is working with encom...

Looks like two different anonymous people are messing with us. Don't think that's Kat.

On the one hand, I really want to get a functional OS because fuck ENCOM and absolutely fuck Mark Beaks. On the other, I also really don't want Screen Slaver tech baked in.
 
Nobody believes you successfully resurrected Khan. Everyone sees him as a very eccentric cape who's devoted to a theme.
Makes me wonder if we could do a PR spin to down play the leak by saying it is false information. I mean, DoofOS is incomprehensible to to everyone so we could just point to that as being proof, stating that,no, the DoofOS is in no way shape or form that badly coded.
 
Well... yeah?

This is the first turn we tried for collaborations. We weren't really sure how it would go.

I'm pretty happy with it at the moment. We definitely need to go after the other collaborations we've got with shego and Xanatos.
