Blame weirdness of me drafting on mobile, then posting on PC. Somehow SV got confused about which post was the intended result.

You can always just share the chapter with them this doesn't really require knowing anything about the character since lot of it is told and/or implied I did something similar with the chapter on orochimaru's backstory (granted that person is a Naruto fanfiction writer but still)
I'm pretty sure this (the chapter) is Jashinist communicating through a dream to Yuno I am deeply concerned what it means that she put her chopsticks the way the dead do at the end of the chapter
Unrelated thought I was listening to King Crimson the band while reading the chapter good choice of music if you want to listen to some while reading the chapter ( Epitaph was the song I was listening to) when I was listening to the song the court of the Crimson King I realize the line
"The Gardener plants in Evergreen while trampling on the flowers"
Fits Hazou to the tee though I feel like he would hate this being pointed out to him I don't think he would disagree because you probably is well aware how accurate is but he would despise it

My partner, who hates knowing anything about Marked for Death and is only forced to overhear the broad strokes on group calls, was able to follow it. (She thinks Yuno ought to be applying anti-genjutsu training to snap out of being bullied by her own dreams.)

Why does she hate knowing anything about Mark for death?
also I don't think anti-genjusu training is going to help with these dreams after all they know all about them
Side note @absoluteblack you can probably use this chapter if they like it as a lure to get them to read Mark for death at the very least you can share more interludes
Too bad she never leveled Resolve like a real Goketsu. Scrubby scrub scrub

It's dark, depressing, and for some reason the QMs enjoy tormenting the players rather than making them happy.
I mean, you're the ones who decided not to tell her why it was important.
Yuno needs all the hugs! Right now!

Good thing she's now working-
Woops, maybe now is a good time to teach her meditation. And that sounds like a very healthy investment for Yuno too.
We were told she was having trouble fitting in! And we figured there was no experience more relatable than being denied lore...
Didn't we tell everyone to level Resolve in the hopes we would one day get them FOOM? Did I imagine that?
Regardless, she can FOOM up her Resolve quite quickly if we have chakra. I think Resolve 40 (a normal jounin amount) w/ SC 40 can do something like a 1.2x multiplier on FOOM. Rolling at Resolve 40 + 9 ((SC AB-2)*3) vs 20 + N so 35 clone hours. Resolve 41 would be 12 blocks. If she levels it to 49 she can do 1.4x without screwing up her pyramid... I'd probably recommend doing that rather than getting it to the 60s. That may have been overkill
Hazou himself only has a 1.9x multiplier.

The math says otherwise, but it also assumes a lot more time available to do FOOM (5 years or more, potentially), when realistically speaking we will probably have solved most of our problems within that timeframe or died trying (or made them worse)
We did. So either Vel didn't have that in mind or the implication is Yuno ignored this order.

Was it before Yuno joined?
I don't think so but I also don't care enough to actually go check.
This was also pre-unstagnations, so FOOM is somewhat less important now. Since finding the combat missions at full FOOM speed is actually somewhat difficult when balancing our other obligations.
Dual tracking SSA ended up being important enough that I'm not upset we spent the XP. But I think 49 is enough for most ninja.

I get your meaning but I think technically speaking it's still worth it, and maybe more worth it, since you can keep getting a decent income even when fully stagnated
But when you try to work out the relationship of how often you unstagnate to multiplier income... yeah I ain't computing that shit
The thing is -- will it pay off on the timescale of the quest? I don't think it will, and that 60's slot might very well matter. Although I suppose we would have died to the 4FSoP sealing failure without it, so objection retracted.

And maybe it will let us handle Itachi's Tsukiyomi, it could be further plot relevant yet
I really enjoyed nonchalantly brushing off Kurnai's aura(while severely consequenced!), and have been waiting for that to come up again.And maybe it will let us handle Itachi's Tsukiyomi, it could be further plot relevant yet
Piggybacking off this- also worth mentioning if anyone else is curious:
The first one is before we started boosting Resolve specifically for FOOM but capstone Resolve has still saved our lives three (3) times on top of the one already mentioned.EJ on Discord said:

When we finally hit Resolve 69 I look forward to ignoring Snuncle when he's being annoying. Finally Oro is forced to figure out how to handle social scenarios some other way
Oro, Intimidation: ??? + ? = 80
Hazou, Resolve: 69 + 12 = 81
ORO: "Rahhh scary face tell me all your secrets"
HAZOU: "Meh."
Oro, ?Rapport?: ??? + ? = 11
Hazou, Empathy: 22 - 12 = 10
ORO: Um. Cool project you're working on nephew. Want to tell me about it?
HAZOU: BOY WOULD I!
Last time I think it only worked for him because we had a Severe and the QMs decided to ad hoc things to mean taking 1 shift of Stress off 1 roll meant Oro won a one-sided victory. The time is now.When we finally hit Resolve 69 I look forward to ignoring Snuncle when he's being annoying. Finally Oro is forced to figure out how to handle social scenarios some other way

I don't think Hazou has had Oro try to intimidate him uninjured since getting Resolve 62 yeah. One time he had resolve 59 uninjured but got a -6 (major Jashin L) and got BTFO
This time will surely be more fortuitous

Tragically I expect this will have to wait for Resolve in the 70s or some stunts from hazou for this to work, cuz of no TYS bonus to Resolve.
