Out of curiosity, did you have a draft/idea written if everyone but Ami died?

[X] Winning the Contest

Check with Mari to prevent treason. Keep your head down until the contest is done.
Very glad to change things out to maximize chances of winning the contest. I'd rather not submit the Porcupine Scroll if we haven't already because of the birds and the bushes, but will do so if people think it's a good idea.

- Make it easy for Kagome to continue decoding Jiraiya's notes.
- Clear land.
- Buy low quality land near Leaf.
- Offer Pangolins (or other summons) combat training in clearing all chakra beasts from the area.
- Clear off vegetation and put up walls, and submit it afterwards (as well as the method).
- Get the Nara to do an analysis for us on how much this improves productivity, prosperity, ninja rates in the future, etc.
- Find someone who isn't part of a collective
- Ask them to submit on our behalf. Reasons why: public acknowledgement (good PR), goodwill from us, favored trading, money, etc.
- With Kagome's approval, submit Stacked Implosion Seals.
- Note that more than 10 is a Bad Idea.
- Can we hire Technique Hackers?
- MEW variants - other materials (valuable types of rock?), or build-a-house technique.
- Ask Keiko about negotiating with the Pangolins.
- We can offer combat training and food through chakra beast clearing.
- If they won't offer their own techniques, how about the Condors'?
- How are chakra metal deposits identified?
- Hire missions to confirm the deposits in Swamp and (if non-treasonous) O'uzu.
- If confirmed, start making any preparations we can for extraction.
- Talk to Haru and ask if he has jutsu he's willing to submit.
- No hard feelings for earlier, by the way.
- 5SB building foundations to prevent cave-ins. Submit proposal and test results (use Tunnel Excavation)
- Continue skyslider research
- Build small models and scale up.
- Get more lift with larger wings (bigger kites pull more)
- Adjust variables to stop tipping. Maybe wing angle relates to rolling?
- No human tests without Kagome-tier safety.
- Can Jiraiya's Daybright seals grow plants?
- Does additional sunlight increase yield?
- Can we extend viable growing periods?

Ami's fighting style is as calculated as her social maneuvering... That's kinda scary.
This is a beautiful line and I may or may not have reread this particular bit three times... maybe.
Kinda feel like you're trying to say something [about canon], Vel?
IF THIS IS WHAT SPACE=TIME TECHNIQUES LOOK LIKE, THEN HOW THE FUCK DID MINATO DIE... Oh, right, he soloed the most powerful, the most malevolent chakra god in known existence. Side thought: does that mean that Minato's FTG seal had him appearing in those spots all at the same time before vanishing? Because that's... that's nightmare fuel, right there.
So Hazou turns out to be too politically powerful to just execute for something as minor as accidental treason (as opposed to Danzou's purposeful treason). We might want to be careful, or Asuma and the rest of the Leaf's ninja who are "in the know" might come to see Hazou as Danzou 2.0
Agreed.
...Don't even joke like that, Hidan might hear you and hold you to it!
Nah, Hidan would get here and Kagome would be standing on the ashes and fragmented bones of the entire Fire Country, studying biosealing to bring Hazou's fresh corpse (sealed away for preservation) back to life.

We need to find out more about when the Tailed Beasts are reforming. For all we know, with Jiraiya dead, there could be no sealmasters left in Leaf that are capable of creating jinchuriki. Kagome might be able to learn it from his notes though.
Leaf can't afford not to get another jinchuriki, especially if rock or cloud get another one.

How do you know Minato died?

On the one hand, we don't even know if they will reform. Pein's ritual was some crazy shenanigans, for all we know it involved fundamentally unwrapping the Bijuu and dissolving their existence forever. On the other hand, Konoha is competent and there are probably still sealmasters who know more about the topic than we do, so we should expect that if Asuma isn't asking for our (i.e. Kagome's) help on this it means he doesn't think he needs it.

[x] Action Plan: Tending Your Garden
Words: 180

- Check on Noburi, how's he holding up?
- Clear the air with Akane about the Out Incident, ask her about that one thing she wanted to tell/ask us.
- Genuinely express our thanks for help at freed from a genjutsu plot.
- Check on Honoka's current wellness with her acting physician.
- Then have lunch with Kagome and Honoka and subtly check on Honoka's mental/physical health.
- Tea with Mari, talk about our lingering feelings for Akane and how we're unsure how to resolve them.
- Catch up with Keiko, we missed her dearly.
- Genuinely thank Ami for her aid.
- Share our experience talking to Itachi, focusing on the emotional aspects (while maintaining OPSEC): the frustration, terror, and anger at something implacable and irrational, wielding its power without nuance and threatening to destroy everything you value unless you meet its impossible demands.
- She mentioned something similar once, and we suspect Conjura was no better. And we're going to have to keep navigating around them, just to continue functioning. Commiserate.
- Check with our secretary to see how things went while we were... otherwise occupied.

To double check that I understand this part, does this mean we're getting someone who's not from KEI or a clan to submit things instead of us?
I think this part should be left out. It would require Kagome to submit implosion seals, and could end up destroying the world if some idiot doesn't read the instruction manual. Kagome will probably shoot it down anyway, but I still think it's best to leave out.
I may be remembering wrong, but I thought Itachi said that you have to fight a murder-golem in order to extract the stuff?
Might want to stick with telling Haru that there's no hard feelings. It's unlikely that he would have anything to submit (former clanless, not a sealmaster/technique hacker), and it saves space.

That's at least 8 scenes. More than 3 is generally a bad idea

Edit: the letter could be offscreened, I think.

Thanks. That said, next update's mine, and I'd happily pick however many scenes from a list like that until my spoons ran out.

Should... should I go back and add them back in? I don't want to presume... but I also really want to get the original list back in... but I also don't want to make it harder on you to write...

You're always allowed to make two plans. Either way, I'll be the one who chooses what to write, and I can in any case offscreen things I'm not interested in, or ask if @eaglejarl wants them.

I'll add them back in and I promise not to complain about what is/isn't written! If my plan is even voted into action, of course. (*visibly restrains horses*)

I would like to signal my support for all plans that spend the next couple days in character chilling out (preferably for this update and the next).
I argue this is a good idea from both a game and narrative perspective:
1) Man this arc was stressful. We almost died 3-5 times!
2) Our background projects can mostly tick on without us, as they have been doing.
3) Anything we do at this point is running up the score.
4) I feel like some narrative catharsis + catching up + steam release (its a shame Mei is dead) + character bonding is due.
5) The characters themselves in the sim could use some de-stressing (a couple tons of that and some willowbark tea pls).
6) Gotta spend another day or two healing up those injuries.
