@PoptartProdigy what's our current multiform endurance? I'm assuming more clones is more draining, but is repeatedly splitting, merging back, and splitting again notably more draining? That is to say, is there a notable price to pay endurance wise for the initial split that makes it a better idea to just remain split, rather than merging back to save some multiform endurance and splitting off later?
Also is the time objective or subjective? I am currently assuming we lose objective time, but our subjective time is so much greater that it ends up being a net gain. And if power level matters at all, how does having our multiforms at different power levels effect that?
And if we multiform into just two forms, can either of our two forms finish the split into three? I'm assuming yes since it's been commented that all of the multiforms are Kakara, and if only one of them could split again that would suggest that isn't true.
Assuming we have the multiform endurance to last the school day (which should be 7 ± 1 hours), we should send one to school, and have our other two either work together on things or maybe split off to handle several things. I'd say split personally, with one to Gandma to both see if we should do anything for the Conspiracy and to work on mind delve protection. The third can talk to some Gokun sorcerers to see why they're investigating and maybe to learn a bit more about magic.

Many of the answers to your questions can be found in the character sheet.
Endurance is in objective time. Any clone can initiate a split.
What crush? There is no crush. They're just really good friends. At least, as far as Karen knows...

Note that Dandeer would probably be investigating our blowing up the mountain whether she had reason to or not. It involves her worst enemy, she cares. I'm not so worried about that- not that I'm not worried at all, but not so much.
No, I'm worried about having all those mages poking around in an area I seem to remember is close to the Senzus' hiding place...

I'm pretty sure distance limitations are a factor. The mountain site could easily be thousands of kilometers from the school, for instance, and I'm not sure we can have multiforms working on opposite sides of the planet at the same time.
Probably a bad choice for right away, among other things because we already discussed with Apra why it would blow things out of the water. Also, we haven't told Jaffur yet, remember? He deserves to know before we un-Seal him.
I get that, but at the same time I don't want to put Kakara through the emotional stress of dealing with her relationship with her best friend suddenly getting overwhelmingly complicated while at the same time dealing with the Sealing and the alien invasion that's due in a few months. Similarly, Maya is by the nature of our distorted Masquerade going to be prominent in dealing with the alien invasion, and I don't want her to have a total meltdown immediately before that.

I wasn't suggesting we go to school and go to the mountain site, just that whatever we do we should be doing something else at the same time.

Oh it is? Didn't realize that.
So please correct me if I'm wrong, but that reads to me that we only get two "castings" a day that can last for as short as we want, but currently cap at an hour objective time (with the number of multiforms resulting from the split not effecting the time).
What happens when we reach the hour mark without merging back? Do the multiforms collapse and need to have someone bring them back together, do they suddenly disappear and reform somewhere, do they slowly get dragged back together by some force (in either a literal sense of physically dragging them together, or metaphorical with powerful urge to merge back together that slowly becomes overwhelming)?

Huh, is Dandeer trying to figure out a way to seal us? or try and figure out the spirit bomb through our residue energy?

We'd still be acting without coordinating with Apra and Yammar, who have done so much to lay political groundwork.
And we'd be springing this as a massive surprise on Jaffur; if we just go 'break Seal NOW' he will be finding out he was blameless after he gets unsealed.
Being able to plan ahead and take advantage of coordination with allies are very valuable skills. Kakara having them at such a young age counts for a lot. I'd like to take advantage of those skills, so I'd very much like to not completely drop our practice of sticking to plans rather than abruptly re-ordering them.

I'm awake; we're open.
At the time limit, if you have not already merged, you are forcibly re-merged. All clones dissolve, and the resulting single Kakara forms at the positional average between all established clones. Kakara needed this to surprise her once before she learned to keep track of time.
Your reading of the skill is correct.

The latter.

[X] Head directly to school, passing neither go nor a chance to collect two hundred units of currency. More Misfit-flavored slice of life stuff, now with increasing shades of DB-style shounen.
I can't see confronting Dandeer going well and Karen doesn't know about the crush and we don't know her sexual oreintation yet for us to conclude yay or nay on it.

[X] Confront Dandeer. Demand to know what she's doing. Grandma only said you shouldn't attack the bitch. Right?
-[x]Have a multiform stay back and coach you. She should be better able to handle herself if she doesn't have to be in Dandeer's presence.

[X] Write-In: Telepathically contact Grandma (Apra) about what Dazarel just informed us of. She should have a better idea of subtle assets that would be able to determine what Dandeer is doing.
-[X] Meanwhile, we take our butt to school so as to not arouse suspicion.

Sounds like a smart thing to do, honestly. Keeps up our Masque while being aware of Dandeers actions.
I also sincerely hope she isn't bonkers enough to go after us at school.
