    • [X] Your Father was a man of science. When not operating on patients or attending board meetings he spent most of his time with you. But when you were at school or with your mother he spent his time in the workshop where he did all the science stuff he wanted. Now it's yours. (Provides access to a personal lab where you can conduct experiments and further your understanding of science. Grants bonuses to skills like Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and Electronics. It also offers the potential to develop gadgets and study biological phenomena.)
      [X] Among your parents' possessions is a mysterious invitation to the Owls Club, an exclusive and secretive society in Gotham. The club is rumored to be connected to Gotham's elite and may have ties to the city's darker, hidden history. The invitation is old but still valid, bearing your father's name—and now yours by inheritance. (Grants entry into the enigmatic Owls Club.)
      [X] Despite getting into politics and fundraising with your dad, it was clear your mother had a pretty strong interest in stuff like archaeology on the side. A lot of her side-classes she took in college were dedicated to things like archaeology, old myths and anthropology. A wide variety of notes, disorganized and eclectic sure, but a lot of it was surprisingly interesting. (Your mother had notes on a lot of mythologies that you can use to research a few things, as well as train your skills in stuff like Archaeology, Various Area Knowledges, Astrology, etc.)
      [X] Wayne Enterprises started as Wayne Constructions back when your Grandfather founded the company. Even as the company expanded and diversified over the years your grandfather and father kept all the blueprints of all the building Wayne Construction had a hand in building as some kind of tradition. One you guess you have to continue now. (Provides access to detailed blueprints of most buildings in Gotham. Grants bonuses to exploration rolls, as well as knowledge of secret passages, hidden rooms, and the structural weaknesses of key locations.)
      [X] [X] [X] Your parents left you the key to a private vault in the Bank of Gotham. The contents of the vault are unknown, but given your family's status and wealth, it could hold something valuable—documents, family heirlooms, or even something more mysterious. (Access to a private vault containing unknown valuables.)
      [X] Your parents were popular, well-connected individuals in Gotham's high society. They often took you to parties and galas, where they were the center of attention. Among the possessions left to you is your mother's detailed Rolodex and your father's contact list. It contains the names and personal details of influential figures in Gotham—politicians, philanthropists, socialites, and more. (Provides access to Gotham's elite social network. Grants bonuses to Social Skills like Diplomacy, Savoir-Faire, and Networking)

    • The next morning, Wayne Manor feels quieter than usual. Alfred had gently reminded you that school waits for no one, and despite your grief, you have to return. The ride to Gotham Academy is a silent one. The sprawling campus greets you, its looming stone buildings casting long shadows on the frosted ground. The bell rings in the distance as you walk in, eyes following you. You can feel the whispers, see the sideways glances from your classmates. Word has spread—Bruce Wayne, Gotham's orphan prince, has returned.

    The day starts off quietly. Teachers offer you sympathetic nods, your classmates stare at you as if you were a clown. When class lets out, you head to the locker room to swap books. That's when you first hear it—murmurs and half-hidden stares as students walk past you. You're about to brush it off when a familiar voice cuts through the hum.

    "Bruce, you alright?"

    You turn and see Thomas Elliot—Tommy. The estranged friend you once used to hang out with, but somewhere along the line, the closeness faded.

    "Sorry about your parents," Tommy says, his voice casual, almost too casual. His face doesn't quite match the words—there's no true empathy, only a detached look, as if he's saying what he thinks he should. He steps closer, leaning against the locker. "It must be tough. But you're a Wayne. You'll be fine. Right? After all I lost my dad and I turned out fine!"

    His words hang in the air, and for a brief moment, you wonder if he even means it.

    Before you can respond, Tommy shrugs and walks away, blending into the crowd of students. His departure leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. The hall starts to feel stifling, the weight of the day pressing down on you. And then, through the noise and chatter, you spot a familiar face in the distance—a real friend.

    You have 3 Actions Worth of Stuff to spend. You can spread it all out or focus it on a specific person to varying degrees. The more actions you spend on a person, up to a cap of three, the better friends you are with them. 1 is just okay, maybe a fresh new relationship or an old one you haven't spent much care on lately, 2 is good, they'll be a solid pillar of support in your personal life and 3 is great, literally your best friend. Spending this also unlocks their Social Link from the get go, whereas you might need a write-in or event to do so otherwise.Here are your options.
    [ ][ ][ ]Charles Szasz - Quiet type, kind of comes off as anti-social, one of the kids here due to the Orphanage fund from your mom now from your uncle.
    [ ][ ][ ]Ethan Bennett - An athletic kid who wants to become a policeman much to his parent's worries. Also the captain of the Junior Swiming team.
    [ ][ ][ ] Zattana Zatara- A New kid in school, Her dad is a celebrity magician who is apparently staying in Gotham for a while. She sometimes hosts a magic show of her own.
    [ ] ??????? ???????? -One of the kids approaches you to offer his sympathies. He has an Owl Brooch.

    AN: The last guy can only get one action. He is just introducing himself to Bruce for the first time.

    I want to Bruce to meet someone who directly benefited from his mother's goodness

    Fellow magician!

    Would we get another chance with Owl Club guy or is this it? I can't help but be intrigued by him.

    I also presume that we'll be able to improve our connections with our friends as we go on.

    I also would like to get as many connections as possible. Bruce needs as many friends as he can get.

    Voting this way will not work, you need to do this is this way:

    [X][X][] Zattana Zatara- A New kid in school, Her dad is a celebrity magician who is apparently staying in Gotham for a while. She sometimes hosts a magic show of her own.
    [X] ??????? ???????? -One of the kids approaches you to offer his sympathies. He has an Owl Brooch.

    Otherwise, you don't actually vote on "mysterious Owl kid" at all (and even if it worked like that, you would be over the point limit)

    This reminds me of that Spider-Man Quest on SB

    Given that we picked Magician!Batman during first vote, let's ensure potential source for learning magic
