He was alway going to be at the memorial. I just took advantage of that fact to set up the personal action.

Not surprised about Mahou Shoujo being 2 cost. We don't just gotta deal with GDT, but find out how to deal with the Frozen Throne. Fortunately we'd have a step towards the latter if negotiations with R-Train are successful

The HIT dice like us. The other dice are more skeptical. Except the luck dice. Those just laugh at us.
We have the power of god (Mona) and anime (also Mona) on our side.

We needed it badly tbh, the clones and White Hawk are spooky.
Now the rest of Crusade barring maybe Silvio on the other hand...

...did Towarri's black holes actually eat/absorb things, or just keep them stuck?

Compressed them into a singularity. The end results were ultra dense lumps of matter.

I imagine Mona would be unaffected by those, right? At most they would keep her in place.

Yeah, but they would drain her construct body like crazy.

Huh, actually wouldn't it turn into an incredibly weird tug of war, as Towarri's black holes accelerated the matter to them creating energy that would then be absorbed by Mona which would then cause her construct to regenerate only to get torn again?

The Foci Of A Tag: Elemental Manipulation, Invulnerability
Invulnerability appears in 7 powersets we have so far: Steadfast, Antaeus, Frostbite, Golem, Lightstep, Man'O'War, and Zeno.
Invulnerability is mostly the "has durability" keyword. It covers all sorts of defenses.
Steadfast's version is the most simple: He's the toughest man alive and unable to be harmed. Antaeus is similar, but with a weakness of having to be touching the ground. Lightstep could also do so and become invulnerable, albeit only for short bursts while his speed was active.
Man'O'War is the type with enhanced durability, which was dependent on how many arms he had manifested, scaling up with more.
Meanwhile, Frostbite, Golem, and Zeno instead had armor made of another of their abilities, from ice, to stone, to compressed space.
Elemental Manipulation is both highly varied and highly simple. It's the manipulation of a specific part of the world. Most of the differences revolve around specific variations, and the difference between manipulating existing elements vs generating them, or both.
Hydrocity creates water, but can't manipulate it.
Frostbite generates and controlled ice.
Deadman, upon dying, would be able to generate and manipulate magma/lava.
Golem manipulated rock/stone/dirt/gravel/concrete?, but had to find it instead of generating it.
Feth Faida manipulated and generated mist/smoke/fog.
Umibozu manipulated water, but couldn't generate it.
Automne manipulated wind/air. As it's literally everywhere around us, generation isn't a problem.
Novalight generated light and radiation. (I'm not sure which was the Element and which was the Energy, though.)

Speaking of this.
Did how much we kicked their ass put fear in them to prep more before trying to use force to find out about Prometheus?
Or does it just make the. More desperate to attck and get it out of us?
The thing about Crusade is that they're a public relations scheme. They exist to make us look bad on TV because Mona beating Scarlet Maturity proved that just beating us up and taking our stuff wouldn't be easy or straight forward. They aren't doing a great job of that so far, but they are forcing us to spend time and effort counteracting them (i dont think we would have done the memorial and the interview this turn without Crusade talking shit).
The danger is turning public opinion against us (more global REP penalties), or their backers deciding they aren't accomplishing enough and escalting to open conflict before we can empower enough people to win.

Is it weird that I still think we should try turning them? Mostly to function as a rivalry publicity generating thing

Who though? The Horae Guard are almost certainly not turnable. Ete is a hard no, abusive transphobes gtfo. Joules corpse robbed a member of JU so fuck that. Ronin already does work for Leizi. Perspective and Plasticity are explicitly weak and at least cut closer to Joules' mold than others from what we can tell.
Brass Shield is an idiot but like maybe if you really want to try? Him and Silvio feel like the only ones with any potential legs to them and even then I mostly struggle to say but why though for any of the lot barring Silvio and that's near purely off of him being an Algernon and a misguided kid who we at least knows has some sense of justice, corroded as it is by the evil vizier. We don't need a public rivalry kinda deal for publicity, there are always more enemies to fight in a city like Horizon, y'know?
The main thing we know about them from back issue 5 is they think Joules is an asshole. Not enough to not join another team with him, but nothing we know about them seems more irredeemable than Silvio, just less useful.

While I don't think we're ever recruiting Joules, I have to point out that JU literally stole Printemps' entire corpse less than a minute after he died, so it's a bit rich to accuse Joules of corpse robbing when Nora was still alive when he stole part of EXCEED.
Brass Shield was described as somewhat young (a 'boy', so at most twenties given LL's age) when we met him for the first time, alongside Yellow Qilin - who he was getting sweet-talked by because she's hot. I think he could be convinced to turn his coat eventually. At the very least, I don't think he's done anything as bad as Silvio.
Silvio was originally a recruitment option, and while he's currently deeply unpleasant, he really does think he's in the right, so him turning on Crusade might eventually happen. We've already laid the seeds by proving that White Hawk is conspiring behind his back, and verbally beating him down by saying that Steadfast would be disappointed in him. At the very least, I don't think he's worse than Maddie was when we found her - someone who was half-crazed from trauma and isolation and paranoia and could have ended up recruited by Le Petit Prince.
Convincing Stockpile that we're actually innocent and that his masters just see him as utterly disposable is the big problem... That, and making sure VG doesn't kill him before he turns his coat.
IIRC the two are support-focused, but that doesn't mean they're weak. It just means they probably have a similar role to Doctor Silver.

I'm just going off what the QM said there, though it looks like I was misremembering on the closer to being like Joules comment.
I do think the context of doing it in the middle of the all hands on deck everyone defend the city situation where you ran is different than doing it off the back of your opponent attacking you and then dying to outside hands. Not exactly great on our part either even with the circumstances, but its not like we want them to be recruiting us either, y'know?

Oh, I don't think I read that post, I mostly trawled through the threadmarks when catching up nearly two months ago. Oh well.

Not sure about the Horae guard but White Hawk.... If we gave him a chance to establish his own power base I feel like... We could maybe make him betray Crusade or at least turn Crusade on the Philosophers.
Perspective and Plasticity seem like prime attempts to be poached.
As for Brass Shield..... Eeeh
When I said turn I mostly think about turning Crusade against Philosophers.
For recruiting from them... I would prefer to recruit Brass Shield.... Mostly for the Megazprd potential if he is an Algernon

Maybe? Depends what his goals are and why he's working with the Philosophers in the first place.
