Eh, Kagome's been around a while, if there's only like one or two shifts a decade then there isn't too much to worry about. More importantly, I don't think the QMs would shift away important stuff just for the lulz because it would make the story more jumbled and confusing for no good reason.

The line I quoted says that Kagome recently had two students from Leaf, Honoka and Mai, but the latter was retconned out of existence along with watches her family was selling. The Henge-shift and the watches-shift happened in a very quick succession, which implies that they're... if not "common", then not uncommon. And given how blasé Kagome was about them (even though the world just ate one of his acquaintances), they're probably common enough that Kagome got used to them.

It's certainly worth investigating.

We should arrange for Hazou to learn about Kagome's retcon-proofness IC. Maybe we could find out via another "Story Time with Kagome" chapter?

Yes, certainly, I obviously love this idea.

My recollection was you need the Summoning stunt to unlock the skill, just like Sealing, and then after that it's a 2x-cost skill that determines the cap of the size of summon you can pull across

I'm fairly certain we ended up deciding to just make it the stunt. @faflec?

e: I checked the rules, and it does say it's a double-cost skill, but it also, uh... doesn't... say what the skill used for at all.

I do have to ask if it's reasonable for Kei to be able to summon Pankurashun (et al) and have summoned him more than a year ago when she's currently at Summoning Level 12, though.

Yeah so the problem there is the swap from "Summoning limits number of contracts, chakra caps size" to "Summoning and chakra both cap size, socials cap number of contracts".

How much Summoning did she have when she first got Pankurashun's contract, actually? She sought him out for Akane's birthday, I think, so that would be before y'all left Tea...?
 
So, Henge is officially gone. Neat.

@eaglejarl, nice work on the fridge horror. I'm guessing that you didn't write punching because you guys are working through various rolls for all the punching?

Also, I suggest that Hazou remembers henge, having experienced a sealing failure that had drawn him into the Out that one time. He doesn't notice, though. He doesn't have any reason to use it before going back to Leaf, or see others having a reason to use it. Then, during dinner, he mentions its use during the exam, and Jiraiya (who never was drawn into the Out, given the advantages of having Leaf safety procedures and other Seal Masters to work with when he was training), Mari, Keiko, and Noburi are all looking at him funny. Kagome slaps his forehead, then drags Hazou out of the room, and explains what shifts are. Hazou and Kagome return to dinner, Hazou is utterly pale, shaking with existential terror, and refusing to talk about it, Kagome just casually resumes eating, and the rest are just wondering what the hell happened.

@eaglejarl How do the chocolate shop got such cheap supply of chocolate? And sugar for that matter?

Leaf is the wealthiest village, and is geographically central. They probably get a lot of good cheaper than anyone else, due to being central to a lot of trade routes.

That said, the hot chocolates may be fairly pricey treats.

I mean in the sense that there wouldn't happen to be a reason, in this proposed narrative. But I would at least like Hazou to remember henge, because it'd be funny.
 
I wasn't sure if Henge being gone was a joke or not, but it has indeed disappeared from Keiko's revised character sheet.

Seems like it should be replaced with a mundane disguise skill or something?

If we don't want the XP from henge to be refunded (which would somehow entail us retroactively training other things whenever we were training henge?) then we could keep it there as a stat that doesn't do anything.

Or, ya know, hack it with a negative XP reward equal to all the point we put into henge. And it's not likely to be a lot of XP anyways.

If we get a refund, everyone else does too. It's net neutral to just drop it tbh
