You had MC in character terrified of witch doctor, and then the second time we met her she tossed us into hell before we could go anywhere with it...
To a guy with no combat ability and barely any idea of his powers, the witch-doctor is pretty damn scary, but Alex is dumb/naive/optimistic enough to get over that surprisingly quickly. That said, you failed to question her on her name, the weird group that she mentioned belonging to, or basically anything that might have led to her thinking of you as more than a client or an interesting specimen, and thus still have no idea as to WHY she ended up throwing you into a hell-plane. You also failed to follow up on a couple of other things that would have led back to her, thus missing out further. Eh, well. It'll come up later, probably.
And our gang keep on threatening our life if we don't go out and earn enough money real quick to hire the contractors to fix up our dump to be liveable.
They won't
really kill you! To be honest though, if you'd taken certain actions, you could be fairly wealthy by now, but you decided to start a singing/acting career instead of doing anything that would get you immediate financial gain. So... long-term planning, I guess?
The gang
would be pissed off with your lack of leadership if you just slacked off completely, but your doing things with them has kept their loyalty and friendship 'ratings' pretty solid (and the ability to have a shower without going to the local swimming pool will definitely raise morale), so it's not a huge deal at the moment.
that being said, I would like to interact more with gang. Also, we really should arrange for the whole electricity thing.
Plumbing will be completed tomorrow, so you can do that after, although you'll need to find a discreet electrician (unless you want to work on a skill for that). And gang interaction is always a good thing to do! Apart from the skills they can teach, among other spoilery things, it also raises general loyalty/friendship, which may be important later.
Also, off-topic but: because long-time Zen quest players may have forgotten and newer ones won't know, BACKGROUND THINGS ARE ALWAYS HAPPENING in my quests. Just because something weird happened (X) number of updates back and then never got mentioned doesn't mean it was dropped. It's worth checking a newspaper or going online now and then.
