Interlude: Pieces of Fluff

You walk alongside your best friend’s little sister with some amount of worry. Leaving Mikage alone with Hotaru Tomoe...it doesn’t sit quite well with you. Turning a corner to the lobby of the hospital, it is suddenly miles away as you look on in confounded awe.

The main lobby of the hospital is in a minor state of disarray as you and Koyomi arrive. Both of you are perplexed at the veritable snowfall of fluff, stuffing, and styrofoam filling the space in front of the main revolving door. Said revolving door is further filled with the expanse of fluff, and the mangled remains of fleece and felt stitched into the shape of a truly giant rabbit’s body. A maintenance worker seems to be unscrewing something by the base of the door, his goal to somehow clean this horrid mess.

<To your right,> Nephrite instructs in the back of your mind.

“I’m really REALLY sorry,” a familiar voice catches your ear and you turn to see Venus Aino being scolded by a neatly dressed security guard.

Wrapped in the smaller girl’s arms is the likely head of the giant stuffed rabbit, whose torso remains within the revolving door. The portion she holds, without accounting for its extended floppy ears, is almost as big as she is.

“...I told her she should have gone with flowers,” Koyomi sighs beside you.

Quest Start

Her arms hold you lightly as you sob into her chest, a gentleness that the both the hope and doubt in your heart suggests is born of twin fears. You are uncertain as to the nature of her fear; if it is fear of of what you did to her or fear for your perceived porcelain frailty. One for her well being first and your own second. One for your well being first and her own second. An odd duality...but balanced against each other they offer some fairness. You don’t care as you bury yourself into her embrace, and let yourself feel comforted by someone whose approval and acknowledgement you’ve always wanted.

Even if a part of you still harbors resentment, you cannot deny how good it felt to hear her say that she is proud of you. Its better than the anger inciting apology she offered mere minutes prior. She is your Sensei, Doctor Hotaru Tomoe, and things are complicated.

You are Mikage Chiba, second year high school student age 15. Formerly, you were the third Sailor Moon; Tomoe Sensei was your trainer. She is the final weapon, the strongest Senshi and messiah of silence. After supping on her near to overwhelming negative emotions, thanks to a unique trait you’ve developed in response to exposure to the weapon of an enemy that threatens the earth from the shadows, you learned things about your teacher that you previously did not.

She knows what its like to be alone. She understands what it means to be unable to connect with others. She watched, unable to do anything, as her father was possessed by an otherworldly force...much like you watched Kairi-chan’s father. Possessed herself by an entity called Mistress 9, before her awakening in this life as a Sailor Senshi, she understands your unnatural hungers.
>>
>>37907358
Despite her age, only slightly younger than your own mother, this thin woman with pale skin, dark bob cut hair, and piercing purple eyes carries herself with the poised energy of someone much younger. As she holds you, you forget you are crying into the embrace of an adult as you feel a closeness, a connection, between you.

“It’s okay,” her hand strokes you improbably long hair carefully, “You’ll be okay,”

There is warmth in her voice. A warmth she has never directed to you before. A warmth you yearned for alongside recognition. You let that yearning drown out your anguish and anger, but you notice the lingering fear building in the back of her mind on top of the overwhelming feelings she stopped you from feasting upon.

~Please don’t be afraid,~ you murmur into her, ~I think I forget just how frightening I am as...this thing,~

Monster...you think to yourself.

You’re wrong

“You aren’t a thing,” she lays her hands less lightly upon the back of your shoulders and head, “And I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid for you,”

She seems more confident, less weighed down.

“Better?” she asks as you dry your eyes on her jacket, giving a curt nod as you sniffle.

I guess the big question is

>So what happens now

I wanted to know the other stuff first, but we do need to get around to to the elephant in the room.
>>
I'm not sure if this is a dumb idea or not, but I was thinking about sneaking out with Sasha tonight to have our talk with him.
We could bring him to magician's lair.
>>
>>37907877
We either take over the roll as matron of the scouts.. or we try to finagle something so Usa doesn't get ripped through reality
>>
>>37907933
Why on God's green earth would we take him to the lair?
>>
>>37908066
Well it's the scene of the crime so to speak. If we're going to explaining the ex-sailor moon thing.

Besides, we should check the place out per Pluto. Two birds with one stone.
>>
>>37908013
It's tricky. It's a pretty major paradox. This entire timeline can't exist without Chibi Usa's involvement, so she's unlikely to just vanish. The consequences would be catastrophic, at least for us.
>>
>>37908215
Yeah I'm kinda with >>37908066
If you want to have a talk with Sasha that's cool but taking him to the place where the worst thing in Mikages life happened doesn't seem quiet appropriate.
>>
>>37908261
Maybe we can do something weird with the second key? Maybe we'll suffer from feed back for a bit but it's worth keeping her in existence.
>>
>>37908263
So when ARE we going to go there?
>>
>>37908301
Tonight?
>>
>>37908301
We could go after the hospital stuff. But I don't know if we need to have a heart to heart with Usa or what.
>>
>>37908352
The family seems to want some time here before Usa goes. I don't think immediately running off is a good idea.
>>
>>37908405
Point taken.
>>
Hope I've combined this in an acceptable fashion and made the next vote full of more exclusive options
>>
>>37908263
Ok- just wanted to put the idea out there in the thread.

~What about this makes you afraid for me?~ you ask as you sit up beside her and dry your tears on the sleeve of your sweater.

“...that you still possess the fangs,” she sighs, “After exposure to the Silver Crystal’s healing. It cleansed you of your berserk state...but the other changes to you persist. Between whatever infected you beyond the gate, what’s become of the enemy’s weapon inside of you, possessing the fragments of the golden crystal, that you still host Kunzite and Zoisite, and what your mother and father have explained to me about your alter egos,”

You feel a bit embarrassed, when phrased like that, there is a lot on our plate. It seems Tomoe Sensei doesn’t know about the well spring of earth power you tapped into. Not that you know too much about it as it stands.

“There is such a thing as taking on too much,” she shakes her head, “Or having too much fall upon you. That is why I am afraid,”

~Does my mother know about Usa?~ you inquire hesitantly.

“Yes,” she nods.

Your expression sinks a bit.

“Usa wasn’t ready to tell you, yet,” she explains and wipes at her own watery eyes.

Its too much. You break down into tears again and fall into your Sensei. You tried. You tried to do things right and now it's costing you the people you care about. After all this time you and Usa were...you could accept her again and now she had to leave. You need this comforting, you need to get this out of your system.

So you continue to sob and cry. Tomoe-Sensei continues to provide the attention and kindness you had always wanted.

>Get it all out. Cry until you’re done.
>Bask in this attention, focus on it. You’ve wanted it for so long
>Compose yourself, be dignified you don’t have time to cry.
>No, shove yourself away from her! You will not be coddled.
>You can’t be yourself right now, its too much.
>Write in

Let's face it, our mom was a bit of a crybaby and it worked out for her. Maybe there's something to be said for letting it all out, just once at least.

Artemis I was re-reading the archives and I wanted to say: I am so glad you're the one who did the Sailor Moon quest first because I don't trust anyone else to write drama as good as you do.

You just cry. Cathartic sobs as a gentle hand strokes your too long hair, knocked free of its seat upon your shoulder and spreading where it hits the bed. You aren’t sure just how long you’ve been here like this, or how long Tomoe-Sensei has been saying small and comforting things to you, but when your eyes run dry and you keep yourself pressed into her shoulder for just a bit longer.

More words of compassion from beyond a once impassable wall of ice sink into you. Lapping them greedily, tightening your hug on this woman as you finally calm down and sit up again. Taking out the tie you restrained it with, you let your new mane flow free and unrestricted, making the room feel just a bit larger and less oppressive.

With a sigh you glance over to the bathroom door and over to your Sensei. She is waiting, calmly, with a comforting hand still placed on your shoulder.

>I think I need to talk to Usa
>My parents are probably waiting for me...and I think you probably want to talk to Usa.
>Write in

I want to give them a moment alone but I'm worried that she'll disappear before we get the chance try and fix it.

Yknow what's cathartic? Street fighting. Let's Batman outta here and beat up some hoods.
>>
So do you guys suppose we can use our telepathy to talk to Usa from inside Hotaru's privacy bubble?
>>
>>37910581
I'd assume no. Otherwise shadowruns that Usa has been talking to Hotaru the entire time.
>>
>>37910603
That's assuming that Usa can do the telepahhy speech as well.
>>
Writing
>>
So past this, we should
1. talk to Helios about the golden crystal.
2. Tell Sasha something like the truth about us.
3. Ask Rin about our ghost.
4. Find out if there is anything we can do to stop Usa from having to leave.
>>
>>37911528
I'll be honest 4 seems most important. Followed by 1 or 3.

>>37911528
Yes, this

It makes missing three days that much more painful.

She's okay, but futzing around with time and space isn't really in our purview. I expect Ami and Setsuna will find a way to rebuild the link, if there is one.
>>
>>37911784
But what if they can't?

What if, unless we conjure up some pretty serious Earth magic, it's byebye big sis?

Holy shit really? I.. I don't believe you..

Huh so binding her to this plane.. or creating some sort of appropriate resonance with the earth hoodoo?
>>
>>37911951
Nice try, stealth dog
>>
>>37911978
I figure, if one of the adults in this matter need that kind of hoodoo, they'll come to us. They've got the technical knowledge to figure that out, and we're a pretty likely component in whatever they might like to try, since we're literally Usa's alternate self.

We're not fucking Wesley Crusher. We don't need to just barge in and announce a magical solution that the experts have avoided thinking of for the sole purpose of making us look good. We can trust them to let us know if we're needed.
>>
>>37912142
Yes, but notice what Mikage said

None of them even know that we tapped into the Earth's leylines or that we're even able to do that. So how do they know that we actually have super good Earth powers?

As nice as it is here, there is the matter of Usa. Patting the hand on your shoulder, you regard Tomoe Sensei calmly and speak softly.

~I think I need to talk to Usa,~ you motion to the door.

“Of course,” she nods, “I’ll have a nurse bring a chair up for when you’re ready to head downstairs,”

As you rise and head to the door and edge of her barrier, you wipe your face and moan.

~I’m not some invalid, Tomoe Sensei,~

“No, but hospital rules. You will be brought down to the lobby in a chair,” she says sternly before waving her hand dismissively.

For an instant, the field becomes visible, then cracks and shatters silently into nothingness. The power at her command has always impressed you; but in this moment, at how little energy that feat took from her, you think you understand that it has been a barrier for her. An enforcement of the loneliness in her heart.
>>
>>37912587
With a nod you open the door and find your sister curled up in the corner of the shower basin. She looks up, hopeful at first and then concerned when she takes in the puffy redness of your eyes and your disheveled state. She starts to get up with some difficulty, but you offer a placating gesture at her and stride into the small room and close the door behind you. Sitting in the dry basin next to her, you lean your head over and rest it on her shoulder.

~Hey paradox,~ you say.

“H-hey, mini mi,” she sighs, “How did things go with Hotaru-chan?”

~We...talked,~ you explain and press a bit further into her side, ~I think things are going to be okay between the two of us…~

This causes her to relax a bit.

~And...she told me about you,~ you say weakly.

“Damn...Mikage-chan, I was ho-”

~No...I get it. Sometimes you need time to talk about something...I made her tell me when I noticed something was wrong,~

“Oh Hotaru,” she sighs and rests her head against the top of your own, “It shouldn’t be for too long. I’ve gone back before, and it won’t be forever,”

~Yeah, but this time I’ll actually care,~ you grouse, ~Did Pluto give you a time frame for restabilizing?~

“A month,” she huffs, “Maybe more,”

You sit with her, cuddled against her, in silence for a few moments.

>Stay like this a bit longer before you go.
>Ask what future Mom is like
>Ask what future Dad is like
>Ask about her leaving things as they are with Helios and Tomoe Sensei
>Hug her roughly and cry, Usa-neesan can’t go.

>Hug her roughly and cry, Usa-neesan can’t go.

>>37912618
We have to find a solution!
We can find it!
What if we went in your place? Balance things that way, leaving the more experienced here while I look into it there?
>>
>>37912618
>>37912680
Also fine with this.
>>
>>37912618
>Ask what future Dad is like
Offering to travel through time in her place is crazy talk. Just because we get along with Usa now doesn't mean we're cool with time travel.

Still... Future Dad might be interesting to hear about. How much he's like actual Dad, or something.
>>
>>37912618
>Stay like this a bit longer before you go.
We never asked her about her future parents before?
>>
>>37912851
Not really a surprise. We really weren't talking to her for a long time.

You cross your arms over your chest and grip at your shoulders.

~I can’t accept this! There has to be something I can do to help,~

“Mikage,” she turns to face your suddenly upright posture and rigidity.

~No. We can do anything, so that means we can do something,~ you declare with an edge of desperation in your voice, ~What if I went in your place. Would that settle the balance. You’re more experienced and would be more help here than me...and in the future I might be able to find something we missed!~

Her hands find your own and she pulls you, gently, back to face her. She’s smiling softly.

“Sister,” she says and her voice goes wistful and she takes on the aura of royalty, “I need to go there to heal...to get back in step with my own time and reality. If you were to go in my place then it would change nothing...and I would still come undone,”

~...but,~

“No buts,” she sighs as her cadence returns to normal, “Promise me you’ll take care of Dad and Koyomi while I’m away,”

You nod, mutely.

“Good,” she says with a peaceful expression, “Now could you help me up,”

Helping her up from the shower basin floor, she stands unsteadily and moves toward the door. Opening into the room, you find Tomoe Sensei absent, likely gone to get you the nurse with your wheelchair for discharge.

~What’s future dad like?~ you ask absentmindedly.

She crawls back into her bed and hums to herself in thought.

“He’s just like dad here,” she smiles, “Except his hair is shock white, and he deals with people a bit more forcefully or directly. He isn’t a lawyer or a diplomat there, he’s a king,”

Giggling to herself a bit, Usa pours herself a cup of water from the pitcher on her table tray.
>>
>>37914115

“Whenever or wherever he is,” she nods firmly, “Our dad rules,”

~Yeah...dad does rule,~ you laugh lightly in response to her joke.

Finishing her cup, she sets it down and leans forward to wrap you in a hug. Her arms clasp firmly around your back.

“I love you, baby sister,” she says softly, “and I know you’ll do just fine,”

>Write in

>>37914140
Okay, that's enough business. Let's grab our disguise pen, sneak our asses out of this damned hospital, and have some fun being someone else for a while.
>>
>>37914140
Something to the extent of loving her too and making her promise that she'll come back.

You wont let anything happen to Kyomomi or dad.

Maybe tear up but don't cry.

Just so you know, I've noticed a particularly ornery anti quest poster shit posting it up presently in the Weekend Quest Discussion thread, and they seem to have moved on the making a large wall of text shitpost in at least one other quests about our hobby being shit.

~Neesan,~ you sniffle a bit in her hug.

Its nice, and as you think about how much you’ll miss her...a wicked little thought crosses your mind. Perhaps a tiny bit of encouragement to help her quicken the pace of her recovery.

~...also...I maybe sort of bit Tomoe Sensei a little bit,~ she stares blankly at you and you respond quickly in feigned embarrassment, ~BUT NOT IN A SEXY WAY OR ANYTHING~

You look away silently, as she stares at you with a neutral and passive before sniggering. No, you won’t be leaving things like this, thank you very much.

~but if you never come back,~ you say with coldy serious tones, ~I make no promises,~

The look on her face is beautiful and priceless. After a moment, she sighs and lets the hug go, planing her hands firmly on your shoulders.

“I’m coming back,” she says firmly...and with a dangerous edge before sighing and fixing you with eyes of wisdom and the understanding of an older sibling who seeks to impart advice believing you to stand at a point in life where they did once before...with the intent of easing your experience when compared to their own, “Though I can’t say I’m surprised you’ve embraced this part of yourself after seeing the way you go to town on Osaka-san,”

~Umm...Usa,~ oh god she thinks that you’re-

“In the unlikely event that something does happen,” she says with a certain warning, “Just be careful with her, if YOU make any kind of approach Hotaru-chan will probably fold and turn to putty in your hand. And you know the reasons exactly why,”
>>
>>37915956
~I was-~ she’s taking this seriously and in stride, you can’t-


“At some point in the middle of the night, on the verge of sleep, don’t take offense if she mistakes you for me,” she says with a bit of sadness creeping past her lips, “And be good to her...and…”

~Usa, you’re coming back,~ you are stretched as far as thinking of a way out of the hole you’ve dug, blinders to the obvious solutions tunnel your vision.


...my own embarrassment makes this hilariously

Her watery eyes begin seeping a bit.

“I know...but now I’m thinking about it...and-” she sniffles and then fixes you with a stern gaze before pinching both of your cheeks and stretching them, “If either of you hurt each other I’ll be really upset!”

Though the stinging pain of the pinching, you find the words to say to diffuse the situation.

~Usa-neesan,~ you whine far too like Koyomi for your comfort, ~I can’t BE you. You need to come back, if you don’t then I swear I’ll come and find you,~

She releases her pinching hold on your cheeks and her expression softens. Cupping your no sore and sensitive to the touch face, she leans forward and plants a gentle kiss on your forehead.

“Well then, if you come for me I’ll have to show you around my Tokyo,” she smiles, “And here I was foolishly believing you’d try to steal Hotaru-chan out from under me,”

~yeah, foolish,~ you blush.

The two of you sit and talk a bit longer until the nurse arrives. Here, on the cusp of her leaving, you’ve grown closer to the sister you had denied for so long...seeing more of the things the two of you do have in common. Tomoe Sensei is with her, and says when you were feeling up to it that she would like you to visit her at the Institute or her Office at the academy to help you better understand your blood work. It takes little effort to realize she is speaking in code for benefit of secret identities with the nurse present. She even says she has some ideas for your jewelry repair project.

Though as Tomoe Sensei bids you a safe night and goes to Usa-neesan’s side to talk, you can’t help but think back on what you said to your sister in jest. As the fluorescent ceiling lights pass by, casting their momentary gaps in light to the hum and flicker of electricity, you can’t shake your thoughts as far as your own identity is concerned...in relation to Usa.
>>
>>37916935
You’ve had your share of crushes and infatuations. You know you can certainly appreciate the male form...but you reflect on your own actions and experiences as of late…

Is there a reason that while your fractured Mimi can reach for her preferred BL comics she’s too embarrassed to even look at GL? Is there some truth behind your posturings as Dan? Are you blushing? Damnit you are blushing. Is this why you felt a certain degree of pride when Aiha and Keiko were swooning over Eclipse? Poignantly, you ignore Koyomi swooning after Eclipse. You ignore it so hard.

As you are wheeled onto the elevator by the pleasantly humming nurse, you are left to your thoughts regarding boys and girls.

Aiha. She's adorable. Someone mentioned earlier that she's the only reason we got back into the superheroing business.

Given the option, I'd say the Russian, the Alien, and the brother.

So, are we going to like Sasha because he's a man, or are we going to like him because he's like a tiny girl?
>>
>>37918285
Isn't that basically the best of both worlds?
>>
>>37918285
I like him for the bear and the bike. There is another tiny brown boxer who has stolen my heart. And he's far better at being a girl.

Aiha is like a marshmallow. Sasha is like a marshmallow with razor blades.

Also, Sasha is fun to bully, whereas bullying Aiha would just make me sad.
>>
>>37918598
Yes, but you don't have to be a raging dick about it.
>>
>>37918614
You don't bully the Aiha. You cuddle it and talk to it about it's possibly deeper issues with that psychic freak out and give it the attention it's parents aren't.

Also you play dress up and go eclipse mode. That is her fetish.
>>
>>37918638
You don't have to shitpost yet you're still here.

>>37918595
Respect to anyone who can throat punch us. He's fun to bully, like when we picked him up to take to the tower, but at the same time he'd not a big softy. He can and will throat punch Mikage if she takes it too far.

Now I feel bad that we'll probably never get around to thinking about her.

>>37918731
I like him, he's pretty much the opposite of Baron in hellborn quest.

We don't need to worry about him, which makes him kind of sexy all by itself.
>>
>>37918731
I don't see it as edgy though. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the meaning.

The other individuals on the list have shown they can probably drop the hammer if needed. Kairi showed back bone in the hospital.

Aiha can probably drop the psychic hurt if needed.

But realistically Mikage is above any of her love interests by a good margin.

My sleep deprived and delirious commentary is that a properly built level 7 can waste a level 11 easy. We could probably deal with Usa or Hotaru easily enough if we got the drop on them, True-Strike and a bunch of other factors do wonders in a degrees of success system.
>>
>>37918836
Helios was pretty badass as well.

We don't need a somebody as powerful as us, we just them to be powerful enough that we can believe they can take care of themselves.
>>
>>37918906
Then the only ones that we'd need to worry about that were mentioned were Yoshi and Jupiter's brother who's name.. I'll never remember.

>>37918898
I'm not sure what I said to get you thinking in that direction, but I guess it's nice to know we have a Batman Protocol if we need it. I hope we don't need it.

>>37918898
We could deal with her a lot easier by kissing her.

Left to your own devices and mostly ignoring the nurse’s song, you let your mind wander in curiosity regarding your best friend.

With the frequency of your tastings, you have grown somewhat accustomed to the sensation of your lips pressed against her skin. More than that, you understand her in unique and intimate ways, the suffering you want to relieve her of and the dedication she has to you. And, after a fashion, you to her.

The bond you share survived the time you spent apart and the revelation of her father’s fate. More than that, you think of how comfortable you are around her and how easily you could lose yourself in her eyes and unload all your pains for her to comfort and vice versa.

That she seems to be pushing herself to keep up with you lingers in your mind, and the hurt and worry you felt when she was within Gamu’s grasp.

Then you find yourself considering the opposite of relieving pain. Sensation, passion, and danger rule the moment as you consider Sasha. He’s possessed of a dangerous fire, and he’s been understanding.

That, and you imagine that he’s probably nicely toned and cut, and exotic. There is a certain allure to him, a rarity in his appearance and they way he carries himself. Even as short and feminine as he looks, he has this extremely mannish aura about his actions...actually it might be his androgynous nature that is so intriguing at first. And...it was fun princess carrying him before everything blew up in your face.
>>
>>37919038

He challenges you in interesting ways, and you did spend plenty of time just enjoying his company that night. Whether you want him as a friend or more, you can’t deny that you’ve developed a connection…

Ugh...and now he KNOWS on top of everything else.

Invariably you find yourself comparing the two of them, imagining what moments of romance with either might truly look like...before extrapolating your own imagined and projected passions in their place. It only serves to further the blush you entered the vertical conveyance with. Being gentle and exploratory with Kairi. Being aggressive and competitive with Sasha. It weighs heavily on your mind as you then briefly entertain the idea of trying to pull off the miracle your elder sister managed.

You smoulder in embarrassment and curiosity.

You arrive on the ground floor and your musings are cut short. The lobby is strewn with pieces of white, and the revolving doors are being cleaned of the mangled remains of something giant and made of cloth and fuzz, maintenance workers prying and cutting pieces out of the space with a utility knife while young Venus-chan looks on in defeat...being patted on the head by Koyomi as she offers conciliatory words.

Kairi is there; she turns to you and smiles.

Shift/crash?

You mean biting her head off?

Totally fine with it. Got to lash out at her and tell her she was a shit to her face.

Now she's more or less on the level, until she tries to train the scouts. Then we'll need to watch her like a fucking hawk.

She acted like a caring considerate human being which is what Mikage needed. She keeps it up and she won't need a verbal and possibly physical beat down.

Level-up suggestion:

+5 Ranged (We've fallen way behind on this, and we would like to not miss with that nice Rose Lance, or other spells/knives/roses)
+2 Stealth ('cause master of stealth)
+2 Insight (Because reading people and psychic impressions are a great thing. Perception can be boosted with spells/abilities, hopefully items as well.)

For the feat, I'm suggesting we go with the Open Minded feat we were discussing last time around. Important part being the retroactive skill point per level, leading to:

+3 CQC (Ok, we have already wildly good melee BAB for our level, exceeding our level between Melee/CQC)
+2 Persuasion (Use your words)
+2 Arcane Lore (We need to find a way to fix this magic-time-dimensional mess that's come up.)

Suggested spell: Eyes of the Avoral, BoED. 10 min/level, gain a +8 racial bonus to spot, or Perception in this case.
Suggested reflavoring: Senses of the Mau or Rabbit. With a Mau/Rabbit theme, I'd place it under the Moon Path. With the bird/nature-y one it could go for Earth, I'd suppose.

But we totally do need to be maxing combat that hard. You won't think you're slacking on your combat skills until you can't hit something. Also, we can totally hit Insight and Streetwise next level for a chunk of points while maintaining the combat skills we max out this level. Like we can put two points into at least 3 skills next level, and start rounding out our information gathering skills.
>>
>>37920431
I kind of agree here.

Not having arcane lore knowledge is what fucked us over in the first place.

That said, I do agree that combat skills should come first and THEN we work on the peripherals.
>>
>>37920431
That's not why we lost Usa. We lost Usa because we didn't actually use the Arcane Lore we had.

>>37920463
Combat skills were the peripherals before. We only focused on melee for one level.

>>37920463
EXCEPT WE TOTALLY HAVE ARCANE LORE AND DIDN'T USE IT. LIKE SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE LIKE 5 POINTS IN IT. WE JUST DECIDED TO POKE IT WITH A GODDAMN STICK WITHOUT EXAMINING IT FIRST. WE ARE AWFUL MAGICAL GIRL SCIENTISTS.

Ok, the highest roll out of everything that was rolled with Arcane Lore was a 10. Even if we had the extra point in Arcane Lore, we were still 5 points off from actually making that roll. Keep in mind that our Arcane Lore was almost maxed there and having max Arcane Lore would not have made a difference.

Lets do,
Stealth +2
Ranged +5.. even I have to admit it's lagging
Streetwise +4
Arcane Lore +2
Silver Millennium Science +3 (or Technology in general if not valid)

>>37920542
>>37920561
SECONDLY! There was no additional call for a roll with Arcane Roll in the 5th Dimension, which we totally could have done to gain more information. So that's on us. You want more information gathering skills but we don't actually use the ones we already have except when they're called for.

Ended in a tie.

>>37919590
Going to make the spells bundled with the skills? Ah com'on, even if you beat me on the skill vote (which I'm a little irked that you threw the compromise solution out the window while I was sleeping last time).
We've already got a better Debuff that Buffs our team as well, while mine is a HUGE boost to our Perception. It is a WAY better choice.

>>37919755
Also true. And we have WAY more interesting things to spend our limited super power budget on.

Shh! Maybe he won't get that diabolical.

Pointless, where Charisma skills of the key to healing, and friendship, and love and peace?
AKA, the most important things?
Also, like 2 points into Persuasion, calm down.

>>37920450
Similarly, we can max Persuasion and Stealth and maintain those skills while spending some of that plethora on combat skills later on.

>>37920463
>>37920431
Argh, I can't spare anymore budget for Arcane Lore. It's still up to +5 though, that's respectable.

>>37920617
Though the fact still remains that we fucked up Arcane Lore, and Arcane Lore is the more likely skill to fix it and deal with whatever else the mad shadowtist comes up with. Though we do have a fair amount in it right now.

Aye, though I'm not averse to a little ass-kicking on the side, we were trying to be the support ops team at one point.

I'd ask that people at least consider the Perception spell over a second debuff spell, even if they want some other skill set.

>>37919533
As you might guess, my vote is for >>37919392

Thanks for the tread, and g'night folks!

Whippersnapper, in our day we'd spend days on end going back and forth.
We were calmer about it back then too.
And we walked uphill in the snow both ways to reach a decision!
>>
>>37921679
I was there for those decisions you know. So I know that we did actually make decisions back then.
>>
Good morning. How is everyone?
>>
>>37921299
I like that when that inevitably fails, we are ridiculously OP in combat.

You know, there are earth cats. With more Earth power, we could probably give one a forehead crest...

Fun fact: There is a breed of cat known as the Egyptian Mau.

Egypt is often cited in the Ancient Astronaut theories.

Why I am I awake?
Well, at least I successfully juggled.
Now to awake enough for game in a couple hours.

Also, like to request spells have their own vote, think bundling is bad since all that's been being discussed is skills.
but hi, good morning. Yes this is dog,
>>
>>37925260
We've spent like four threads discussing skills, is it really a good idea to start a debate about spells?
>>
>>37925508
Certainly. I think last night was the first time we had a relatively good discussion on skills anyway, at least we had more than two people and even better those two people weren't talking to each other hours apart with the thread going archival before responses. While it looks like the decision is leaning against me on skills, I'm happy they got well discussed.
>>
>>37925508
UPHILL. IN THE SNOW. BOTH WAYS.
Though it was often over the course of a solid week using a thread that wasn't near autosage to chat back and forth.

Wait, spells? Fuck me, I didn't even make a suggestion for that.

No. NO. No. No. No.

Next time? Certainly, that's actually a pretty good idea, having the different pieces on separate votes. But right now? No. We have spent the last four threads talking about this and had three different fucking deadlocked votes about it. This is the last vote. I don't even care which one wins at this point, it needs to be done.

TOO LATE.

>>37925812
While going for insane Stealth with Camouflage is tempting, I think Inertial Armor might be the best choice. Our AC ain't getting better.

Which reminds me-
Hey Art, the Acrobatics description in your docs says it can give us a Dodge bonus. Is that a thing on it's own we can put points into or was that just the skirmish AC that we unlocked?
>>
>>37926307
Stahp. Stahp it right meow. This is a next time gadget moment.
>>
>>37926139
Not sure it's been that many, certainly the first thread we've had a discussion that was more than an echo chamber of two people hours apart and had more than four votes though.
I think skills are settled.

However, I probably feel Demoralize is as bad a choice as you seem to feel not-Melee is at this point. We have Recitation now, and Demoralize is mind-affecting enough that I'm concerned that it may not work on Things we would face in great quantity.

Crap, he could go Vampire Senses on it too, couldn't he?
Ah well, suggestion stand for it, and I would look forward to whatever things our moon cat overlord would choose to do to it.
>>
>>37926493
>>37926523
I primarily chose Demoralize because it's a better version of Cause Fear and I didn't have access to my books when I set up the initial spread. I just don't know what else I would choose at that point and right now I just want the vote to be over with.
>>
Ah, Debate.

Delightful.

>>37926700
If that other thing would give us access to adorable animal ears I'm all for it.

>>37926634
Come on we've spent while on nearly every vote, longer than this. Maybe it seems like more to you because the threads are ending in autosage or right on it so we haven't gotten to talk at all despite leveling being mentioned for a few threads now. But we've spent two or three threads that were up for a week on this in the past and you've never been this worked up.
>>
>>37926741
No we really haven't. This is the longest we've ever spent on one vote. You do realize that we started this level up process almost a month ago right?

The longest we've ever spent on a vote before this. was I think a week and a half.
>>
>>37926842
On mobile and at a bank. Just left a thing and am running errands. Since it has been many hours, and I mentioned on twitter that sorting the level up was going on last night.

I close the vote. Someone tally me a banana.

Yeah but that was a week and a half STRAIGHT. This 'month' of discussion was a like four posts for me before this thread.
>>
>>37927414
Well that's it then. Clear winner.
>>
>>37927414
Hey, I got 1 vote too. From myself.
>>
>>37927678
We have 11 votes linked to the post they were supposed to be linked to and 11 votes counted.
>>
>>37927678
>>37927724
I'm assuming >>37921418 is the one you're talking about? In which case it's counted.
>>
>>37927768
No, this one: >>37920686
.. which I didn't link at all. Doh.
>>
>>37927920
Well.. if it's not linked does it count?
>>
>>37927920
That would explain it. If it's not linked to the post I specified it wasn't counted.
>>
>>37927944
I'm not counting it if it wasn't linked, but I'm not the one who gets to make the final decision, if Arty wants to count posts that weren't linked he can feel free to do so.
>>
>>37927944
Pretty sure it doesn't. I know that I don't want another tie at this point.
>>
>>37927986
So counting the vote of the fellow who submitted, where do we stand? If we are again deadlocked I'll flip a die.
>>
>>37928033
We're at 6 and 6.
>>
>>37928076
In that case I vote for MAG's build.
>>
>>37928453
Any contest to this vote? If there is I'll roll 1d2
>>
So, Luna just warned me that if I rolled up Arbiter Clouseau in her DH game I was gonna die. Anyone know if it's possible to replicate Ripple if I try to make a Johnathan Joestar expy?

Basically I'm asking if you, my players, would be able to help me troll my wife stealthily...because I trust all of you and we're still up.
>>
>>37928514
Just finish it Arty.
>>
>>37928514
Nope.
>>
Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>37928597
Right, that was cast after voting was closed. So we'll 1d2

1 is Mag
2 is All the other skills
>>
>>37928514
None whatsoever.
>>
>>37928636
Fair enough.
>>
>>37928636
>>37928650
Not gonna lie, was hoping for a different outcome since I actually went out of my way to make a linked post but it's whatever, just glad this vote is finally over.
>>
Damn my impatience for making this a cluster

Seriously how do I keep over implicating this?
>>
>>37928699
sorry, man.
>>
>>37928589
...aw, man. That is the best character concept I've ever heard.
>>
>>37928717
Well, I think what should have happened is that the vote should have been put up at the beginning of the thread and taken at the end, I think that's how things should go down from now on to avoid this kind of thing in the future, in addition to voting on each piece of the level up individually. E.g. Skills are one vote, path abilities another, spells a third.
>>
I had a longer post, but my mobile browser reloaded.

Overcomplicated, not implicated. Ducking autocorrect.
>>
>>37928795
A capital idea
>>
>>37920018
I agree. We should be damn well done with this by now.
>>
>>37929757
Another thing I think needs to be done is suggestion boxing. We did this early on and stopped. So I think this is how it should go down:

You let us know if we leveled up at the beginning of the thread. At that point we put up 2-3 "suggestion box" posts, one for each part of the level up. E.g. This level we would have had one for Skills, Feat and First Level Spell.

Everybody links their suggestions to the "suggestion box" post. Put this up for about an hour or so, maybe two during a day-time thread.

After that point I'll then sort through the suggestions and put them up for a preliminary vote and discussion to weed out until there are only two or three suggestions left for each part. And leave that up for an hour.

After that point once, the top 3 in each category have been determined, we then put it to an official vote on each section, which lasts until the end of the thread. Once the End Post has been posted and the Interlude Vote is up, the level up vote is considered closed and the vote is tallied.
>>
>>37930029
Further more the final vote should be done Final Destination style. Each option will be numbered and the response should be only the number, linked to the vote post. Anything other than that would be considered a non-valid vote.
