You're running out of space.
Oh Mr. Wolong- where are thou? We need your house!

Jokes aside, lets actually... stop for a bit with making plans for what we'll do until we get the list of available Missions. I'm very much certain that there are gonna be some new things, maybe a certain action to merge organizations perhaps?

Wolong sweep-
 
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.
It is yes since VG and BS should have enough rep to diplo him. It also allows to complete all our Responsibilities to ND at T5 which could mean Merge option opens up.

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.
Time to expand then thankfully regaining OID means we get access to a new base. Also Katie is gonna be a Hero huh I though shed be put normal life but I suppose her situation means its to risky to do that and shes too attached to Yara.
 
Whew, finally got a chance to read the latest update. So many big reveals at once!
[Biokinesis] + [Fundamental Force Manipulation] + [Space-Time Manipulation] + [Phasewalking] + [Transmutation] = [Reality Warping]
Holy shit. You weren't kidding when you said Dynamite was X-Class. I love the end result of the power mix, I had to immediately go find a song with menacing angelic choirs and play it on loop for the rest of the chapter.

For Ambrosia plans, I think the winner is a foregone conclusion. So I will go cook up a plan to try to achieve [True Telepathy] independently and see if it gets vetoed or not.

There's definitely some sort of cosmic irony to how Yara is now effectively an older sister, and Katie the younger one. Harper would probably be upset if she were alive, at the unfairness of this...

But I guess people don't get what they deserve or deserve what they get. They only get what they get, and we have to live with what we have. Sorry, Harper? Oh well.

Can I take that to mean the Rep successes at the beginning we're actually sort of a bad thing depending on who we were taking?
I'd say it's bad-ish, because as seen here, it means Ellie won't just use her newfound powers at her own discretion. The wishes of the dead can confuse her identity.

If Justiciar's roll had succeeded, maybe we could not have counterattacked against Hand at all? Maybe we would have let him take SB? Or, hell, maybe Justiciar's 'keep peace, protect life' would likely actively conflict with Red Huntress insisting that you bite first because it's an eat-or-be-eaten world.

...On the other hand, this kinda means that if we mix the powers of people who worked together well in life, there's a high chance that the ideologies don't interfere with one another that much. Like, Adamant + Red Huntress + Apiary? I could see those three working well. Similarly with the Defiance Unit (Memoria + Nox + Zeno, anyone?) and some combinations of New Dawn.
 
Seems like Oh God, Who's in Charge Now? is 2 votes behind by my count. Really hoping it could win since that's some grade-A drama.

Not just with using her powers, I imagine.

I think Ellie is going to be feeling the need to Bite First To Protect Those She Loves for a long long time.

Yes, by the time we've used Dynamite a half-dozen times this is going to be quite messy.

I don't know. Bitterman did say the first time's the most dramatic, IIRC. It might just be this first time that leaves long-term effects on her.
 
"What is this? Where are they coming from? How? How?"
"Who are you? How did you solve it?"
This was inevitable. Yet, she also feels disappointment. Perhaps she hoped to see someone succeed where she failed.
High and Sweet and Full of Rage
Solve what though? The whole "energy field bigger than your head" thing, or..?
(And now, we probably know where the 'rage' part of things came from, sadly)

You phase their hearts out of reality, move them away with a push of their inertia, and then let their organs come back to this dimension.
So that's why Phasewalking is an upgrade of Intangibility (up to Potency Yes buffs)
Why is this a Synergy, unlike the Red Keyword from before?

The voices of Christian Marlow, Virgina Cunningham, Andre Machado, Renee Mathews, and Towari Taylor do not echo on The Stage, so, regrettably, their shades are absent.
So... we have the knowledge of these people's names and their current status IC (or do we)?

You stand accused of high crimes against humanity! Murder, torture, kidnapping, enslavement, and theft of powers you do not possess by right!
One of these is not like the others, no?

Uiara shakes her head, as if awakening from a dream. "Y-yara? W-where am I?. . . I-it hurts. I was under the water too long, so they cut me to pieces—
Perhaps what is going on with Uiara now?

Red Iustitia, Blind Judge of Heaven has HIT 80.
Stat Check: REP 95. The shades from the futures roll even with the check.
What even is this check here, 80 or 15 or what? And would a 100 requirement be a narrative singularity of whatever is being checked against?

You catch glimpses of how some abilities route to The Stage.
...interesting how all abilities require connection to The Stage via DNA, but how only psychic ones directly route/link to it, huh.

IT IS NOT WHOLLY YOUR FAULT. YOU WERE NOT RAISED CORRECTLY. YOUR ENCODING IS INCOMPLETE. IT IS I WHO BEAR SOME RESPONSIBILITY."

"W-what?" you say, hope blossoming in your chest.

"THEREFORE AS A LOVING FATHER, I MUST DISCIPLINE YOU
What little semblance of a psyche she has shatters. This is contrary to her very nature.
...what are the chances that Hand is actually SB's father, or did I fail my reading comprehension?
And if we could have a psychic nullifier without killing the person that way, would it be sufficient to get out of this sort of binding given Faust?



Then, a few years later, his baby sister joined him.
He's got control of Ash Knight. Y'know, the A-lister who gets stronger the more things burn? Fuck are we supposed to do about that?!
But this tiny freak and Court of loons? They're threatenin' our family. They're laughing at me.
1) Giving them the benefit of the doubt, wtf does his baby sister feed on?
2) Uh, hopefully we have Flame Immunity for that particular mission...

Which makes his natural replacement you.
Your new mission is to reestablish the credibility of Crusade. You are to leave Justice Unlimited alone for now—they're learning too much from their interactions with us.
And we are no longer concerned with them attacking Elysium?" 3 asks mildly.

"Not at the moment.
Kill Monarch, take Rotwang's creation, and then destroy his Mill. You are to do nothing else.
They're putting White Hawk in charge. He's already talking about mass producing PREVAIL.
1) So we get an Issue or 2 where Crusade is out of the picture huh.
2) Does that mean we can attack Elysium now and have a slightly greater chance of success?
3) I see Rotwang's creation is Monarch's kid, then. And that Mill... what does it grind, again? Have a bad feeling from this from another Quest on this site lol.
4) Good thing that plan got nuked by Stockpile, I see.

Should we not be concerned with finding her?"

"Jair is working to get her declared legally dead. In the meantime, the 8th Hour has been tasked with finding her. Augur has expressed interest as well. You can understand why then this must be left to the Penitent Scholar.
If things keep going this way, 12 is going to let 11 off his leash. And if The Man with a Boyish Smile is let loose, I will personally make sure he takes care of you too. Do you want to go the way of Valiant Blue and Yohanna Oliveira
Lastly, since I will never finish if I keep digging through that part of the update:
I see each member of the Hours and Mysteries serves as a Boss Fight for us, and that we know at least one more of our opponents for Wider Than A Mile now?
It really seems that our play now is to keep building up, while taking down members of the two where relevant until they cotton on and decide to pull out the Big Guns on us for an Arc Finale.

I think Ellie is going to be feeling the need to Bite First To Protect Those She Loves for a long long time.
Yeah, Bitterman did say the first time's influence would be worse than normal. (Not great, but if at least somewhat controllable it'd pair well with Reach Heaven Through Violence)

As for the vote, not sure given latest QM clarifications. Perhaps now will be a """good""" time to mess up while the factions focus are now temporarily not on us, to prepare for the time when they will be?
 
Hm...

Really hoping that Belle Sabreuse is willing to work with non Yara teams or the squad setup from our first 10 are going to get minorly awkward on the final picks. Black Swan/Belle/Yara/Katie would be a locked down core due to Yara covering for Black Swan and Belle/Katie following Yara team wise, with VG needed on the other side to give actual fire power.

DS gets added to VG's squad for being borderline useless on the other team due to an invuln trio, where Handyman is picked up due to the other side having a Rep and Ops issue as is. I also want to say that Lady Leizi probably goes on VG's squad just so that she isn't a squishy without a shielder option as a hard melee fighter (and not forcing Katie into that role with her versatility).

Black Swan/Belle/Yara/Katie team 1 core (29/19/20/19 prior to Yara getting her full powers), Valiant Gold/Doctor Silver/Handyman/Lady Leizi team 2 core (28/28/26/24), Menagerie Witch/Chatelet floating for the last 2 slots.

Where doubling up DS and Chatelet feels silly but at the same time there's basically only Katie to protect with barriers on the other team. Menagerie Witch has the issue of doubling up the minion summoners with Katie, though the type difference in summons is a thing and provides flight for Katie and Belle.

Transmutation is a regular synergy, as you can see with Giant Slayer. It's just that Printemps' Transmutation is presumably a result of him getting boosted by Scarlet Maturity.

Edit:
The power of yuri cleansed her.
...I'm going to assume that Valkyrie heard Nora say this, tried to refute it, then bowed her head and just nodded along.

I don't know if putting our two P13s on the same team is really a good idea? Like it would make that team really strong, but the other team would be way behind then.
 
Also, part of Ambrosia builds is me taking into consideration what you want a build to do. Do we have something like that for Dreamer, or is everyone okay with a Bitterman special?
I fully support the Bitterman special. Personally when I look at the Seraph Phasewalking build, despite having Telekinesis and Telepathy, I actually expect Yara to be main support hero, tho I could be wrong in this. Likely has high ESP and middling OP. I'm kinda surprised by the Rep, but then again, this may just be more of Yara's personality and character.

Giant Slayer also has Transmutation. It's definitely a synergy
So... we have the knowledge of these people's names and their current status IC (or do we)?
It's Scarlet Maturity, Miss Naught, Gentlemen James, Pallisade, and Towarri's real names.
2) Does that mean we can attack Elysium now and have a slightly greater chance of success?
I think this is the Moon River mission, which can only be taken when we have all 4 t10 candidates (Mona, Ellie, Yara, Homer)

We only have 3 P13s (VG/BS/Yara), kinda have to do a 2:1 split. And why we wanted a psychic build in the first place for Yara was to have a psychic to help cover for Black Swan there to let her do her thing. Ironically that team would probably lead in hit but be behind moderately everywhere else assuming decent Yara stat growth.

I had to laugh at this. Her hero name is Radiant Silvergirl! (Points if you get the reference)

You can take it now as you have the requisite stats.

I just, uh, don't recommend it.

And you DO have another potential P13 right now . . .
 
You know finally figured out why i don't like Blackgold as much as say wozel or the double knights I am less into slowburn
Like both the ships I mentioned are less real thar black gold but due to the Fumble that hangs over them like a curse ( very much on both sides) it has about the same movement

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

...Katie being on that team means Black Swan Buddies, huh?
 
I'm trying my best to think of a way that Ellie rejects her mom's ideas and came up short.
They are aligned with her predisposition, for sure. But everything in moderation, especially when some of that family can protect themselves.

For example, I think if we had to convince Ellie not to walk into the Frozen Throne to protect her girls again, we'd be doing so with a disadvantage.

(And now, we probably know where the 'rage' part of things came from, sadly)
Maybe the whole tapping into the full power of the stage? Perhaps… when Valkyrie went crazy, it was because she saw what the Ladder was -> tried to do this -> was overwhelmed -> all that remained of her desire/the desire of the ghosts that overwhelmed her was burying Horizon in Goldnine.
what are the chances that Hand is actually SB's father, or did I fail my reading comprehension?
It was a rehashing of the punishment her actual father gave her. So a terrifying and mind-rending analogue mustered by the most powerful psychic entity in the world, not that Hand is her father.
The power of yuri cleansed her.
GOD YURI IS SO STRONG.
