This was wonderfully written. If painful. Everyone fit, and their actions all made a lot of sense. Sage is a child, of course she doesn't understand what's going on. To Eggman this isn't about revenge or hate, this is about wanting to have a family who loves each other. He wants Belle to appreciate him, yes, but not at the expense of the relationship between his daughters. He wants a happy family, and that means everyone must learn to get along.

Sucks about the loss in action and the hurt in all actions. We might want to talk to Sage. She needs to learn that we don't love her less. We appreciate she cares. Just we want her and Belle to get along, and by doing this she was jeopardizing herself, her own relationships, for us, and that is not something that we can accept as our daughter. We might not want to talk to Belle next turn though. Our personal's are bad and I worry in our grief we might not react well. But if we leave Sage we might cause issues to grow.

And Isara might not have gotten to talk with us, but she is learning that we are very much a person. We might have done bad, but we aren't a complete monster. We have feelings, and we try to do our best for our daughters. Eggman is... complicated.

So, we got Belle up to 45 Loyalty

But we have Sage going down to 60 Loyalty (Ignoring her Trait), and we lose access to her for a whole Turn.

AND Eggman is suffering a -20 Malus to Personals and -10 to NATIONALS too.

Honestly, I'm impressed that we aren't seeing another batch of people proclaiming doom.

Will this Effect the Adventure?

I don't think so.

Case contrary they would mention that.
 
Hopefully this will help in getting more ways to help Eggman in the heart department. Also best time to talk with Vanilla is next turn, I believe. Get a good enough roll may be hard, but with how devastated Eggman is currently, it may unlock something more or help get along with her.
 
Yeah with a -20 to personals next turn its a bad idea for Eggman to talk to people. We could have Belle talk to Sage, maybe find a way to help resolve this family mess.

Also we do have a +10 to woodcarving, if we do that, then the debuff will only be -10 if we want to risk it for that personal.

Maybe not realistic, but I kind of like the idea of us winning the tournament and saying on live TV that all our victories will be in honor of our dear daughter Sage.
 
You want to put Belle to speak with Sage after this whole mess?

I pretty sure she does not want to speak with even a good roll likely will not end well.
Its a risk sure, but if the option is still open next turn it might be worth taking. Belle does care for Sage and trying to help her with her father is something she would do, regardless of the scare given earlier.
 
Actually now that I think about it Eggman just throwing himself into work (aka using our reroll) since he has no idea how to handle his emotions and tries to distract himself after a talk like this seems fitting
 
I think it's better to have Eggman try to talk to Vanilla. Trying and failing to talk with other people, is something that will probably help Eggman in the heart department. I would like it to succeed, but Eggman needs to also learn that reaching out will not always work out and having his ego hurt by the talk failing is something that must be worked on. Besides, it might even help the turn after, with Eggman possibly admitting that he wasn't at the top of his game and it gets him fired up to prove himself better.

Im not sure where you are going with this, he already failed several talks already. He has a -20 penalty to personal, talking to someone might make him roll in the negatives. For a character like Vanilla whos already somewhat hostile to Eggman, forgot consequences like loyalty drops, I expect the action to disappear for good.

She also lives with Gemerl, the super fighting robot that Eggman created that hates him. He might actually get beaten up if he rolls low enough that action.

might as well throw ourselves into our work then...cause damn thats a brutal hit.

none of the other kings have to deal with this shit we do...
If we do that, we'll really need to take a break the next turn. Should we use the reroll on setting wards against the curse? Because... we really can't risk screwing that up. It would be a disaster if it reaches the city. We aren't very good at Mystic actions, the fact we have a malus on top could prove an issue that we will need to mitigate.

Well, the turn results were all pretty good... except for the talk to Sage Personal but the interlude was written brilliantly and, to a lesser extent, the save Miku one being a bare success

Gonna guess that after that adventure the whisper nega quest got a red achievement.

Yeah, I'm imagining multiple but the main one would be be
- Nice Job Breaking it "Hero" - Make Eggman worse

Come to think of it this is the second negaverse that has interupted a birthday.

Yeah, part of the inspiration was actually the fact that discussion in discord made me realize that Belle's first birthday is probably in Turn 8

I was kind of hoping for a personal to make her a gift but that would be real awkward with Sage after the interlude

Especially since I haven't played Frontiers so can't even make a guess about when hers might be

Oh god, I just had a vile thought:

The interlude is in essence eggman's backstory/tragedy starting to repeat all over again.

With Belle taking the place of Maria... probably a good thing we gave her that personal shield
