Okay doing a roundup.
As much as I was the main person against the Phasewalker Seraph build over a different Seraph build, I'm reversing my stance here purely because Phasewalking seems like one of the best avenues for potentially escaping the Frozen Throne and everyone staying safe during it.
Baba Yaga has gotten stuck in the Frozen Throne due to either the experiments with the prison or from YQ actively doing her best to feed it. Maybe some combo of the lot. Where Katie is trying to be more, Yara is helpful, and we need to pick 2 people. Hit 9, Esp 11, Rep 7, and Op 10 are the current stats for Yara and Katie, while we know the priority order is Esp > Ops > Hit. Pick 2 of LL/C/H/MW I'd imagine? The big issues are that MW helps with Third Person and Leizi might be necessary to keep around in case of a Towarri interrupt. I'd say Chatelet being around for trying to get Simon to shift would be likely but frankly, I'd be surprised if he'd get much chance to interact there this turn as is. It does feel like Handyman + 1 who can help with Ops is probably the simplest way to go?
The 10/10 buff to VG is probably going to be very needed here just for the future and specifically for helping out on this turn.
Also a major part of why Justicar was sacrificed was specifically that moment wasn't it? I don't have to give it to her, given she still worked for them after that, but I imagine that was the point that Justicar became deemed a useful tool that could also be a major liability.
Towarri is currently being accidentally manipulated by Punished Silvio and is crippled but is alive even if likely mentally drained by the psychic siphon. This is fairly major since it gives us a chance to get her back on side, but frankly we likely would need to convince her that we thought she was dead. Still, Crusade is functionally dead in the water and the splinter cell will be annoying but frankly a whole lot more workable than dealing with the entire group at once. Especially since they're focusing away from us for now so we should get a bit of breathing room.
Wrt Automne, we know that in the world where we picked Radiant Silvergirl she was in a coma. Its possible that its just a coma here and we can biokinesis away the brain death if the rest of the body is alive, but frankly I don't think the QM would have given us her sample if there was a world where she was healable.
Intangibility being revealed is very nice given it hard confirms that Red Huntress is arguably our best sample in a lot of ways. I am still going to push for it on Homer because of the fact that frankly, Red Huntress is a sample we want to use for hiding power, which seems best suited for our highest end who needs the cover the most. And this is minorly petty but I just don't want to repeat core powersets for awhile if we don't have to since I think its less interesting and creative.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" 7 shouts, hitting him further, "We know it's likely Rotwang's experiment from Wonderland! 67%! But you haven't confirmed it."
There is the implication that Princess was the experiment given the Rotwang naming earlier in the thread and can also empower people ala SM but that's still technically guesswork right now.
Yara is biting a knuckle, eyes shining. "This too, is yuri . . ."
Yara...
Truly the queen of the Blackgold shippers.
"Davie, we're a family. And family sticks together. I think of this whole fucking borough as our family. Do I gotta teach them a lesson when they start actin' up? Sure, sure I do. But that's part of being a unit," he shakes his head, paternally, "But this tiny freak and Court of loons? They're threatenin' our family. They're laughing at me. And I gotta know that you got my back when it's time to protect our family."
So this told us a few things. PLP 100% has his claws in this guy, the description of laughing behind the back isn't subtle. PLP has Ash Knight under his control who gets stronger when around flame, presumably a large part of why PLP is looking in this direction I'd imagine.
Lethal Anodyne's eyes are wide. It's an unsettling look with his pupils. "I mean, that's a special lady. The kind you cook special for. Oh man, if I could just meet with Lady Leizi . . ."
Okay, okay, Homer did it. Lethal Anodyne's distracted with his boner for the leader of Justice Unlimited again. No one is going to die—
Huh maybe we can actually use Lady Leizi on the infiltration for LA after all.
"The numbers do not lie. The odds of Justice Unlimited attacking Elysium in the next six months is almost 100%! It should be suicide! Yet, the odds of them doing so successfully keep going up! It's at 23%! If they get their hands on Yara Oliveira, it goes up to 31%!"
Its nice for Bitterman to give us our odds on successfully completing the Moon River Retrieval Arc.
