Wait, so the Ruby Wings not only help keep the user safe by avoiding land based melee fighters but also make you the ruler of a group of people
It also lets you have eternal high ground against your foes. Should we give it to Khan to upgrade him from captain America to superman lite? The Flying Mongal sounds nice.
 
Doof must take over the cat mafia....

I mean, he qualifies and.... I honestly want to see doof challenge Kat to the right of mortal comcat.

As in circling with lots of hissing and yowls before leaping and fighting each other as is proper.


Tell me the idea of Doof harkening back to his upbringing and showing off his Ocelot roots doesn't sound hilarious? (Martial and Intrigue bonus from returning to his feline roots potentially with cat mafia hero unit?)


Edit: Doof arching his back and hissing at Kat hair properly poofing out. Vanessa face paling in the background while Janna watches on with admiration


EDIT: Feline trash talk starts flying in fast. Yowls and growls far to vulgar to be translated to english....

So, QM on discord said that Ghibli works are part of Nausicaa.

So it's possible that stuff like Kiki's delivery service, Spirited away and whisper of the heart (I only watched the last movie's spin off) are in this setting.
Technically Nausicaa isn't a Ghibli film. It was created before Ghibli Studios existed :p

(That's just technicalities that don't matter when it is accepted as one. I just wanted to be cheeky again)
How did we lose opinion from preventing a famine again?
The government didn't like the lunatic, Emperor Norton-wannabe succeeding at doing what the government failed to do, stabilizing his own regime among the public in the process.
Probably!Star had an axe when we saw her, it's probably that, to some degree.
Of note, the idea that you can cleave something together as well as apart was the theme for the Star vs finale "Cleaved" where Star ultimately destroyed the Realm of Magic and cleaved Earth and Mewni together to being one dimension.

Anyhow, I suspect Doof will likely have to market a wholly different kind of dinosaur made for food, if we were to sell dinosaur meat. People don't like eating their pets in the Western sphere. It's why many look down upon the eating of dogs or horses despite the old phrase of "meat being meat, regardless of where it came from" still applying in that scenario. I don't imagine the marketing for a dino as food will be all that difficult though. Dinosaurs have a large variety after all.

Protoceratops.



Hervibores (so you don't run into the issues with carnivores), seems to have been a social animal that lived in large herds, about sheep sized in size (so you don't have the diseconomies of scale that you run into with megafauna) and without natural weapons other than their beaks, which decreases the danger for would-be herders.

Yes, this is a thing I have mused about.
 
[ ] Update the City Council with Princess CJ (Goofy)
DC 80
46+18+23+3+10 (XP)=97
Decent Success

You allowed Goofy to sit down at the computer terminal for a total of about thirty seconds before you realized that he wasn't going to be much help at all in that department. Thankfully, what he was good at was serving as a model of likability and charisma that you were able to use as a check against the subroutines you were writing. This was very helpful, since you have neither of those things. He also took to reading 'CJ', as he continually calls the new AI, the old fairy tales she seems to enjoy so much, which made you feel a bit uncomfortable considering how much it reminded you of Vanessa. Together with your coding, it seems to have inspired a general interest in the wellbeing of your 'subjects' that Coffee refers to as 'noblesse oblige'. As far as AI coding quirks go, you suppose an obsession with the general wellbeing is one of the better ones.

CJ is not the only prospect you have your eye on though. The city council, responsible for most of the stuff that actually makes Doofania run, had basically been operating as if nothing was different for the last year and a half. Most members were a bit uncomfortable as you introduced them to the new robot that was going to be doing half their jobs from now on, but two were nothing but enthusiastic.

Extra Diplomacy Action Unlocked!
Diplomat Council Position revealed!
Princess CJ has respecced towards both stewardship and diplomacy.
Princess CJ now defines her purpose as accomplishing the general wellbeing of your population, filtered through the lens of 'nobility and chivalry' that existed primarily in books and nowhere in history.

Something else interesting has happened… to be continued in Interlude: Rotate in with the Board of Selectmen

Oh thank god, I was going to be heartbroken if my convincing of everyone to switch had screwed it up.

[ ] Research Dino Domestication (Jumba)
DC 80 (Reduced by XP)
57+38+38+30+5=168
Critical Success

Jumba had no idea terrestrial reptiles got so big on this planet! Oh sure, he wasn't working with the big ones now, but the thought of all the fun he could have once he cracked the basic 'don't eat your handlers' issue was more than enough to keep him trucking forwards. It was a bit of a novel experience for him to inhibit violence gene markers, but he understood the reasoning, and made it his personal mission to genetically domesticate the beasts while still leaving a 'primal ferocity' switch in there for when things needed to get interesting. By all accounts, he seems to have succeeded.

When you assigned some interns to make sure the aggression had been properly bred out of them, you discovered a very useful fact: by using already existing domesticated genomes, Jumba had also bred in traditional pet behavior. With a bunch of velociraptors, miniature stegosauruses, and saurolophuses that act like cats, dogs and horses, you did the obvious thing and started marketing them as pets. Public opinion of your science divisions has understandably increased, with the mood on the street reportedly being summed up as 'sweet'.

Dinosaur Farming action unlocked! Dinosaur Entertainment action unlocked! Domesticate Large Herbivores action unlocked! Dinosaur Cavalry action unlocked! Environmental Adaptations action unlocked!

Public opinion moderately increased!
Dinosaur Cavalry DC lowered![
My DC reduction helped push this to crit, I'm very happy.

[ ] Look into the Dickens Detective Agency
63

The Dickens Detective Agency is… interesting. They're not as dysfunctional as your family, as shown by the fact that they can still live under the same roof, but things are definitely not well in the Dickens household. While they normally would not be interested in doing work for a known purveyor of villainy, job opportunities are very limited and the Dickenses have sleuthing in their blood. As long as you don't ask them to do anything clearly evil, you think they'll take you up on the offer.

The Commodore has been added to your hero cards!
Charlotte Dickens-Johnson added to your hero cards!
Hire the Dickens Detective Agency has been added to your personal actions! By hiring the Dickenses, you will lose some Income but, in return, gain an extra Intrigue action for the turn and a skilled Intrigue hero to do it for you. For now, the hero will only perform that one action before leaving again. If you hire the Dickenses a lot, or manage enough of a rapport with them, they might eventually choose to stay on in a more permanent fashion!

Wow! Like, not the next two turns because um, auction. But this is extremely good.

While clicking around Buzztube aimlessly, you came across a series of children's videos by 'edutainment' performer Wendy Wower. It wouldn't have held your interest for very long, except as you went through the delightful songs like 'I Love Science', 'The Theoretical Elements' Song, 'Decision Trees' and 'Quantum Funsics', the woman actually seems to be well-versed in a huge variety of sciences, especially robotics. Looking up her record, it seems like she had top marks at SFIT for her first few years before dropping out in what should have been the last year of her Doctorate in Advanced Robotics. Whatever went wrong, this might be an opportunity for you to fix it… and take advantage.

Wendy Wower has been added to your Rolodex!

I'd honestly like to put her ahead of Kitsune. She's an AI specialty and is more clearly in a position where I think she would be amiable to hiring. Even if she wants to continue the show, we can offer her a much better stage to work on. We have toons. Kids love toons!

[ ] Psychoanalyze Dr. Doofenshmirtz

As seen in: Doctor to Doctor (Canon)

Personal actions relating to Doof's own hangups and mental issues are now (very slightly) more likely to go well.

Question, is the Encantus a whole encyclopedia, or would specific texts such as Star's book have things it wouldn't? Additionally, would anything weird happen if you had them in the same room?

Like, to go on a bit of a tangent, in AdventureQuest Worlds, the Lore book has the ability to assimlate other books by eating them, which is useful because it also has a translator function for any text inside of it. Could the Encantus and Star's book manage a Fusion and get some kind of benefit out of it?
