[X] [Theme] Write-in:
Strange Friends. A young girl becomes lost in a world of dreams, full of strange and alien creatures. One group of creatures call themselves the "Dream-Eaters", and normally feed on human nightmares. Strangely though, one Dream-Eater starts to form a friendship with the girl, and together they begin to hatch a plan that will allow them to escape from the strange landscape she's trapped in. Along the way, they learn about what it means to be friends.

[X] [Theme] (Personality: Otako)
Idol Magical Girl Reconstruction. Going against the recent trend of deconstructing popular
anime tropes, while at the same time recognizing the faults that the deconstructions parodied and coming to terms with them. A magical girl who is also high-school student who is also an idol for a pop group team rises to fight off some sort of world-eating eldritch monstrosity using magic powers based off of various musical instruments, juggling both her responsibilities as a magical girl and her responsibilities to her friends and her social life. It'll be nice and fluffy! (Silas does not know who will like this idea.)

[X] [Theme] Write-in:
Mundane Monster High School Romantic Dramedy. An ordinary high school boy transfers into a brand new school, where he finds that all of the other students aren't human. Frightened at first, he soon finds that even if they're monsters, they're just as human as he is.

[X] [Theme] Write-in: (Personality: Otaku + Traits: Loner, Sensitive)
Loneliness and Friendship. Very similar to the two Dramedy options, further elements (school, supernatural elements, romance, etc.) negotiable. Featuring a cast of characters with various personal issues that isolate them and/or make them unhappy, and how by getting to know, accepting, and helping each other and becoming friends, they can overcome them and gain happiness. Gets fairly dark at times, but ultimately has a happy ending.

[X] [Theme] (Personality: Otako + Trait: Sensitive)
High School Romantic Dramedy. Same as above, but in a high school! This combination will almost universally appeal to Silas's fellow classmates, because teenage heartache, crushes, friend-zoning, and relationships are something almost everyone has had a brush with. Then again, high school romance is the kind of ubiquitous topic that has been used again and again in popular media… could they really make something interesting enough to stand out? (Silas thinks everyone would like the idea, though whether or not they find it impressive is a different story.)

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!
[X] [War] "Wait… what?" Rakuyama asks, looking very, very, confused. "Err… Harima-kun, are you alright? I think you should go home… Err… actually! No, that would be, like, mean, or something… Let's just… ignore him for now?" (Nothing happens)

[x] [War] "I know a couple people in the Student Council. I could ask them to help out…" Mikado glances out the window, twiddling his thumbs not-suspiciously. "A-Also, I've been wanting to take to Kirino-chan recently… E-Err… you know. It would help. Having an excuse." (Drama declares a "proxy war" on the Student Council, with Mikado as their belligerent.)

Do we let Silas know about new findings?
[X] [BS] No. Silas deserves some measure of separation from Big Sister's skullduggery. He's just a schoolboy, after all. And Big Sister would be good to remember the old adage about Ignorance...

[X] [BS] Yes. Whatever the Student Council is, they represent a threat, and if Silas knows he has a way to get at them, he'll have a way to sabotage them in small ways that Big Sister could never do.

Do we nuke the global economy?
[X] [BS2] Don't overclock. As much as it pains her, Big Sister may need to start withdrawing considerable oversight over Silas if she wants to maintain her obligations to him. (Big Sister may find one document next weekend, and the global economy is safe, but Big Sister will not be present for Silas next week. Silas may not like this.)

[X] [BS2] Don't overclock. Focus on Silas and the global economy; the information that can be gouged from the database is surely exhausted by now. (No documents will be found next weekend, but Silas is safe and the idiots that run the world economy remain safe for another week.)

[x] [BS2] Don't overclock. Focus on the database and on Silas, but neglect close oversight of the global economy. The markets will sort it out, probably. (Big Sister has plausible deniability anyway; if the world burns, it won't be her fault.)
