Amu: 3
Ami: 2
Hikaru: 4
Utau: 6
Looks like Amu got hit fairly hard by the Chara loading / opposed Psionic effect WP costs?
Now that's an interesting question.
She can't. Utau can, but can't point out the direction. Possibly it isn't a direction her hand is capable of pointing in.
Well, then why not at least try to impose more order?
[X] Plan Productive Wheel Spinning
-[X] Utau: Ask for help
--[X] Use a cellphone to try and collect more information via RC (The crayon-drawing that moves/Fox: "How did it come to be?"), spend at most 1WP on this
-[X] Amu: "If Chara-changing and acting confident can constrain this place to make more sense, and if salvaging the pieces of Yui's mind can decrease the influence of this place, why not try and manipulate the narrative of this place by bringing what Yui has into this place through Illusion?" (Do not spend WP, ask Utau to help if WP expenditure is inherently needed)
--[X] Amu: "Utau, do you think Kana can only be found after resolving the nightmare room issue/beyond it?"
-[X] Midori: Check in again (and make sure Amu and co can still physically exit this place)
--[X] Ask if Amu and Utau think its a good idea to talk to Lulu about this for more ideas:
---[X] Direct: Explain our current situation, and ask for ideas and NOT for JPs to get involved (Might leak too much information in the scenario that JPs is connected to but unaware of Manticore's nature)
---[X] Indirect: "Lulu, this is Midori, Amu's mom, I heard from Amu that something about Ami needs to be paid more attention to, but what do the possible dangers (and safety measures to counteract them) look like, and what can we do by ourselves if one of those dangers actually come to pass?" (Might not get anything useful now, but should be safe)
---[X] Total Nonsense: "Lulu, this is Midori, Amu's mom. After what happened previously, I was doing research and came across these conspiracy theories that (insert medicine information here) does (insert wacky effect here), and that [insert description of current situation here if Midori thinks its feasible to add in]... Normally I'd ignore them, but now in the case they actually are true I'd like to ask you about them to confirm?" (Obviously does not stand up to scrutiny without an unverifiable source, but it might work more directly?)
Some help with Stunting would be appreciated: Trying to weigh our options here, and not just twiddle our thumbs while waiting for Ami/Hikaru to arrive (also so that Baughn has enough material to write a chapter around).
@Nero200 This is also intended to setup for going for your stunt if we find no better options: Experimenting with manipulating the narrative beforehand would be useful during the brute force edition (And I'm angling for Equipment/Performance/Strings dice via Ami providing Illusion 2 that way); but I'm not sure how to word things in Amu's side of things?
@Baughn, do I need to apply a Calcinator to this plan? Was going for stunt-like elaboration + not wasting time waiting for Ami/Hikaru to arrive, but if it's too much do let me know.
(The idea on Amu's end is to change the presentation of this place to something more friendly and then change the actual reality thereof, by adding crayon drawings that aren't ...those or by some other means Amu might be able to think of IC)
