[] Plan: Oh God, Who's in Charge Now?

This would be a disater, the most experienced person left if we pick this is Black Swan, who has only 3 months of experience at being a Hero (and she isn't the brightest)

Tbh I think the funniest element is if Towarri walks up to the Apiary, wanting to talk to Leixuan.

Or anyone she recognizes at all.

And we're like "Oops, all Black Swan!"

Or we send Handyman on the highest stakes imitation operation of his life…

BS and VG still both have Rep 10 which is generally the stat for convincinv other their way. Beside we get LL back after reality check.

Just do DF after Reality check if were that worried lol. It even works as a way for everyone to heal up.

Well, If we don't lose access to the Network, we could also pick Don't worry, mama here. If will give Yara and Katie time with Leizi and place someone with experience (Opale) in charge of JU.

I get the "its funny" element but genuine question for the people voting that way. Do you think Doctor Silver and potentially Menagerie Witch can be controlled here without both of the primary leaders here to force them back into line? That MW won't let her rage take over and do something dangerous if she catches a whiff of PLP's involvement, or Doctor Silver won't try do something we can't take back to Jorogumo and Sparksurfer?

Even ignoring the story elements here Leizi would be missing out on, Leizi knows how the Triad operates better than anyone else. She knows what to look for here and has the commanded respect which likely would help with the magical girls (and maybe White Tiger?) and just having the best possible perspective of how to deal with this fight.

Pawn Lelouch also has a very good point, we need either Opale or prefarebly Lady Leizi to handle these situations. Which is why we shouldn't act like a pack of Lemmings running over a cliff due to picking something purely becuase "it is funny".

Also a good point, if Towarri decides on a house call, we need someone whom she recongizes.

If its just wanting the Katie interactions and potentially a MW bowl 2.0 win then fair enough that's a coherent reason, but I'm just looking at the issues this potentially opens us up to and trying to see how we deal with them here easily. Not trying to be snarky here, I'm just trying to understand it.

In the interest of transparency, the order of missions will be:

Project Prometheus---> FT Fill-in #1--->Train Came a Rollin'--->FT Fill-in #2--->Puella Magi Justice Unlimited Magica--->FT Fill-in #3 if necessary--->Reality Check--->Other Missiosn--->Demon Flamez.

I'm looking at DF as the capper to next turn. This is assuming you take PP, PMJUM, and RC next turn.

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of your argument and the effort you put in illuminating the potential consequences here.

Tragically, I am deranged, and having the potential for these intense narrative beats almost makes me want to vote for this.

Edit: Thankfully, seems like it's not a problem.

Okay, that at least mitigates the worst of my concerns since DF would be guaranteed to have the minders in play. So it mostly comes down to preferring Lady Leizi finishing off her narrative throughline with her sister vs hoping there is something fascinating that would occur if Leizi hangs around Katie and Yara.

Amoungst the missions, we will probably be taking there is Pest Control, which really should come before or during Train Came a Rolling'.

Also the fact that Grand Theft Person come after the clusterf*ck that PMJUM+RC are likely to be, makes me feel a bit iffy. As I'm worried, we will require Dynamite to get thought the Clusterf*ck, which will leave Valiant Gold unavaiable for Grand Theft Person.

There is also the fact that LL needs catharsis, when it comes to her half-sister and the GDT.

I reserve sole discretion on mission order to make the most compelling story. And Dynamite only incapacitates for the rest of the mission; the downsides and dangers to using it are obvious enough that I'm not going to make it "once-per-issue".

You guy should be real happy Justiciar failed her REP check on Ellie.
 
Yeh Astrologian and Red Huntress imprint while can be dangerous are more manegable compared to justicars Peace at any cost.

Oh yeh QM if we use dynamite and the potency doesnt go past 20 the Ghost rep rolls wont have the +3 bonus right?

There's a reason doing Abarimon's mission over Third Person's is a legitimate option if Puella and Reality Check's hit reqs scare us too much.

That's correct. It's +1 past P13, and +3 past 20.

Also, I've updated the information page. I should point out that you're at 8/10 Metahumans for your available slots. That's not accounting for Yara and Katie, who will make it 10.

You're running out of space.
 
also, I was looking back on DS's choking trick and I realized something that might be useful/interesting.

Sure, he jumped to using it as a weapon. But you know what "no oxygen gets in or out" is also a viable tactic for?

Firefighting. Starve a fire of it's ability to burn oxygen, and it'll choke itself on it's own carbon dioxide.

Ibis' Notes: Belle Sabreuse was reluctant to disclose information during, but my Sarah turned on the ol' Ibis charm! She begged for at least two hours on her hands and knees---just like how I got her mother to marry me! Now, unlike Belle Sabreuse, Margo agreed right away, but I wanted to put in the effort!
Belle Sabreuse can change the density of anything she touches to whatever she wishes. She claimed to be able to make her sword into a singularity, and it wasn't an empty boast. The only object denser that we've recorded is Black Swan's core. This includes clothing, which she can make into nearly impervious armor in the say way King often defends himself. Her touch can be used offensively as well, making objects brittle and easy to shatter. Her ability, however, is limited to inorganic matter. Her clothing is made of all synthetic material for this reason.
Like the Giant Slayer, she can wield her altered objects as if they were at their natural density, but, unlike the Giant Slayer, she does not have enhanced strength. Instead, her senses and reflexes are superhuman, making her a formidable foe with her sabre. Now, she---Sarah, you can stop begging! Only do that for someone you truly love!

Though looks like we need a quick image edit, she's got twice as many eyes as she should :V

:cry:

And that's not even including our current candidate pool + Homer which are another 5. Or Sunlight Knight if we get him to outright turn somehow. OID and Apiary expansion please save us, we need that extra money so badly for the latter.

On the plus side while it was expected, its nice to see a confirmation that Katie would be joining up in some capacity if she makes it.

She literally only has Yara in this world. They're kind of a package deal.
