That Celestial Ascendance shop option...holy shit. Does that mean that Pris isnt just magical girls who happened to represent the sun and moon but may be some nascent form of the avatars for their corresponding celestial body? As in they are capable of becoming god-like beings in their own rights?
and Harmonious Incorporation is how this god-like being makes their WEAPON-equivalent, maybe.
 
I don't think we should be spending any EXP right now, except maybe on Harmonious Incorporation.

I'd like to always have a buffer of a few hundred EXP leftover after each time we spend EXP outside of boss fights.
and she won't understand your potential until you already became more
Did you mean to say "until you've already become more" or "until you become more"?
Even if you're only barely in my grasp by now, we won't ever be separated.
Sounds like we already only barely count as Human, even more so than typical Magical Girls.
As if you had already known each other for eons, yet never once talked.
Sounds like we've got a deep connection to other gods.
Conceptual Language in our own thoughts? Yeah, deeply connected to one or more gods.
Celestial Ascendance
-15,000 EXP
Shed the chains of mortality and become more than you ever were before
And that's just the last nail in the coffin. Presumably grants us the Edge of Mortality ability indicative of the lowest tier of Divine Being.

Presumably would also greatly change the perspective from which we view the world.

Be wary of this option. There is a reason in CWMGQ why Grand Archangel Gabriel chose to not undergo apotheosis.
WEAPON
Level 500
Attacks Per Turn: N/A
Affinity: Magic | Horror | Hope | Creation | World
Ability: Auto Assault | Autonomous Combat | Instant Recovery
Unless it applies to Primeval Earth, it seems very strange that Gaia would have this ability here.
Do you even lift?
Level 17
-Capable of lifting up to 68 times your own weight.
[For the record, she weighs roughly 150kg with her attachments and mechanised parts]
Does this let her lift things regardless of grip/leverage/etc? Or modify one of her stats? Or act as a threshold that gates a different ability's level ups?

Because otherwise it seems like an extremely superfluous ability for a fist fighter with that high Base Damage and Godlike Strength. I would think that those two alone let her lift far more than a girl her size would be capable of by mundane means.
 
Okay, I'll go with this for now:

[X] EXP-Plan Unison
-[X] Harmonious Incorporation - The Devourer - 1,333 EXP

But that's a story-based choice, so if not....

I would also be happy with just about any plan that only levels Scorching sunlight, Soothing moonlight, veil of the lunar goddess, and sunlight scepter.

You see, some girls actually have a non-combat Ability or two in their set. It does nothing with her stats and has no influence whatsoever on battle, at least not by itself.

Strength has it explicitely codified how much she can lift, plus her capability increases if she spends EXP; other MGs have the amount mostly fixed.
Because being able to lift a weight is very different from being able to punch with the strength necessary to lift it.

Having a non-combat ability at that high level seems to go against Strength's advice about specializing though (unless non-combat stuff is your specialty)................


Does it let her lift things within that weight regardless of grip/leverage/etc?

For instance, would it let her lift a slippery 1000 kg perfect sphere or lift a 1200 kg object that's thin, narrow, and a mile long from the edge?

We promised. We promised Ana that she would be the first one to know. We talked to her about it. It's time to fulfill our promise.

[X] Ana is still worried about you after what happened this morning; maybe she will calm down if you spend some time with her?
-[X] Double Down

[X] After what Strength said, you ought to talk to Soul and Igni
-[X] Double Down

[X] Training sounds like a good idea
-[X] Train Soothing Moonlight's Target by Level to heal the same target multiple times with a single cast

For the record - I am of the opinion significant social activities should be pursued jointly, and talking to one of your friends as you give her a link to yourself, and talking to friends after they have lost almost everyone, is a significant social activity in both cases.

1416-1333= 83 EXP Remaining

EDIT: About Celestial Ascendance - I can't help but think of another case of dual-divinity. Shiva-Sil. No, not about unfortunate implications. About the fact that it's not without precedent.

EDIT 2: Quote relevant to Harmonious Incorporation:
Which brings you back to that question you had earlier. Seeing that you are sitting around once again, it is probably alright to just ask. "Ana? Sky?"

""Hm?""
Both of them turn to you... they think you have an idea for how to train. Turning your head to the side awkwardly, you look at the ground and observe your friends through Eva. "I was wondering... say, if you could have... or even be a part of the connection Eva and I have... would you want to?"

You do not even know if you want that; you love Eva and Eva loves you. Would it be weird to have someone who is not as close in here?

I think it would be great. The more the merrier, Rico.

So at least your twin likes the idea. Your friends are still eyeing you awkwardly, the looks making you blush a little.

"...that's... pretty sudden. I'm not entirely sure what to say... uh, what exactly does your connection let you do? You never told us."

Sky is right. Weird, you were sure you mentioned that. Apparently, you did not.
Eva takes over while you quietly blush a little more at the embarassment. "It is... hard to explain. And it was really weird at first. Rico hit her head and I got the pain, too. Then we-" "Hey!"

You interrupt your twin and poke her side. "You hit your head!" "...I didn't?" "You did!"

A quick check and... you honestly have no idea which of you actually hit her head back then. Ugh, now you can not even be right...

"You both get hurt when one is injured? That sounds pretty harsh..."

Oh, that might send the wrong message; you quickly shake your head to tell Sky no. "That was just the first few days. We worked out how to stop it really quickly. It's just... it is a weird feeling at first. We know what the other feels and sometimes even thoughts come through. Or... that's how it used to be."

Eva nods by your side while the other two listen with open curiousity. "Ah, yes. We figured out how to feel each other and... it grew stronger over time. Now I can see what Rico sees all the time and we can talk to each other in our minds."

It is hard to find the right words to explain it where it feels so natural to you now. "I... I don't think I want to be separated again, no matter what."

You make a few more attempts to put your feelings into words, but not much more comes of it. Sky and Ana seem both contemplative... but the older girl is the first who answers you while wiping off more ichor on her dress. "I... I'm sorry, but I don't think I would like being a part of that. My life got weird enough when I got my own magic and... to be honest, yours sounds creepy to me."

...you do not get the last part, seeing how great it feels to be connected like this. However, everything before that makes sense. Although Eva has to stop you from arguing that your magic is great... she is right, now is not the time.

"I don't know..."
Ana is not looking at either of you, her gaze carefully kept on the hands in her lap... which are clenched? "It sounds nice to be close to someone else like that. If I could have that, too... I think I'd like that."

Oh. You offer a wide smile to Ana, who tentatively smiles back and then frowns at you. "So if you find out that it's possible, you will tell me. Got it?"

""'Kay!""

It isnt necessarily against her advice, because she mastered her strong point and therefore can afford spending points into other points. I think she did that so that she can help building things and not just destroy everything.

I want to actually talk to Ana about becoming part of our hive mind before voting to do it , so I'll hold off on an EXP plan for now

As Dragou said, Strength is already above and beyond anyone else in what she is good at.
Besides, Do you even Lift? was one of her starting Abilities.

Additionally, physics still has a say in the matter.

One of the possible meanings for Priscilla is Primordial. At least according to my wikiwalk.
:whistle:

Are we sure we want to spend all our EXP right now instead of waiting another update or two?

It means that if a new mission starts out of nowhere next update, we won't have any EXP banked to adapt to the situation.
 
Well...
1) We'll still have 83 EXP left
2) We'll still get EXP next update

While it won't be enough for any fancy tools, raising our firepower or healing power will still be on the table.

Speculation - if the option to send but one of the twins to thank Chi wins, the one to be sent will be Eva, because Rico doesn't like spiders. :)
