Julie wants to go "home". Touristville. Right now she's realtively safe too, only four people know what she saw so if she can keep that to herself there's no reason she's not ok to walk around like normal. However, she's an ex-con, so if the authorities say to stay on the island she'll stay, she knows that you can't disobey the people that can make you squat and cough to check for contraband. Still, she's willing to fight for her magical development to help her new family in the Underground. She's also willing to fight for her friends. She's especially worried about what happened to Kenji and how it's connected to LeBlanc. That jerk Christina had something to do with her future, she needs to get filled in on what Fuzzy's note means and how it connects to Kenji and Sasha. Also, who was the insubstantial man? Why couldn't she heal him, she's supposed to have big magic! Is Mrs. Maureen ok?

I’m feeling 1 -> 3 -> 1. Screw it if it messes up family life, Fuzzy knows how important it is to keep the pack together. Daves family needs to know whats up. And we can’t just meddle and leave Tek out to dry. If he changes his mind and wants out we need to help negotiate that.

Whether it's Matt pulling strings to get Sasha connected to a forum of expert greyhats who can offer her services, information, and training in an out-of-Ares favor economy, or Sasha getting enrolled in a police training program for mundane investigative techniques to holistically enhance her Assensing and cybersecurity skills, or whatever other direction Ice might want to take it in. +1 to helping Sasha's connection.

Back Marco, with conditions. This isn't for corporate types that are into poverty porn. If someone wants to adopt they need to understand that supporting Rat Man afterwards is part of the deal. They can't just take a kid and forget about the Club. Protective spirit summoning sounds neat, but it's an idea for later, not today.

jagadaishio posted:Alright, this one is a little outside the box. While this is a cool and good idea, it's also metagamey, and not at all what Fuzzy would do. +1 vote for kicking Kenjis rear end to unconsiousness and then running to save Sasha. This is what we've made our little heroine do all game long, there's no reason to change it now with clever tricks. It's something Kenji would do, not something Fuzzy would.

Does Sasha have any other family not in Ares? What happens to Duncan and Beef? How long can we live off of Sasha’s savings? If we go to the barrens, how hard will it be to get to Diego without drawing attention to ourselves, like last time we visited with a full security detail?

1. Whatever gets her to be with Sasha the fastest. Bonus points for developing contacts inside her new Salish home. 2. Find a job. She realizes that she has valuable skills now, and needs to help provide for her little family now that the Ares thing is done.

Obviously Kenji works to build more contacts (and improve existing ones) over the summer. He probably gets to piss off some Corp parents as a fling while their princess slums it with him this summer - he could probably work out a decent place to stay from his girlfriend(s). Minor action is to get a hobby. Bocce and red wine?

quote:His well poorly constructed story fell apart as he tried to grab hold of it once more. Instead he just enjoyed being comforted for a time. It wasn't perfect. His hips were jamming into his. The easy chair wasn't made for two, but she was warm and her touch was pleasant. It was nice. A stray thought fluttered through his brain and he almost kissed her right then and there. In the moment it would've felt right, but that moment passed and the rightness of that feeling fled along with it. He let the feeling go and let out a shuddering sigh some time later Pronoun editing needed here.

How worried are we about the prophecy still? I know that we as readers know that things have changed but do the kids know that? I bet Ice already talked about this, but it’s a big thread. I ask, because I don’t like Julie walking around Seattle outside Touristville.

It’s been a while since the ACHE delve with Min Yun and Kenji but I remember their conversation being pretty clear. Maybe go back and make it fit with the current development with Kenji learning a new language to better communicate?

Ice Phisherman posted:"Yes, I have a class devoted to helping those with spirit mentors," explained Julian, "It can be a rough transition as you've seen. Without guidance you may lose yourself or find yourself on the wrong end of a power dynamic where Dog is the one in charge. My class is to assist you in understanding what is normal and what is not, how to control the compulsions that come with spirit mentors and how to properly set boundaries. Let me say that this is a good thing. It's rare for awakened such yourself to be chosen. You really must have shown some extreme feat of loyalty to earn Dog's attention." Mechanically, how does this work? We saw how Firebringer dominated Julian earlier in this story, it’s probably one of the reasons he’s the one that teaches this class. He’s helping by showing young shaman how to avoid his mistakes. If there’s not any crunch behind this, how are you handling it storywise? Social combat between mentor and mentee?

CYOA - yes, Kenji accepts the invitation. He seemed to handle them ok before Olisha showed up, and more contacts are better than less contacts. And yes, Kenji has had something like vending machine curry, so he kinda has had Indian food before. Editing suggestion: this part has Julian repeating his greeting. Maybe it’s the exposition between his dialogue that threw this off. “Hello everyone, sorry that I’m late,” said Julian, quickly, “I’m glad that everyone is here. Welcome to the first day of class. Please sit.” [...] “Hello everyone,” said Julian, “I’m glad to see most of last year’s faces back.”

How much did Julie pay attention to the prison economy? I assume it’s similar to the touristville economy, as both are largely barter based.

I think part of your critique has to do with the serial nature of the story too. Ice will repeat things for the sake of new readers but if you binge the whole story it can be kinda repetitive. I find it useful to be reminded of things we learned previously, but I’ve been reading since the early part of the story and only had to binge a little bit. I dunno if that make sense, but I feel like it’s a stylistic choice to give context to the story in front of you without having to know the backstory.

Don’t worry about the parking ticket. I got one too last time I was in Seattle, despite putting my pass on my dash like it asked. I’m sure it was because of my out of state plates. I just emailed a copy of my pass to the contact info on the ticket, and it was taken care of. Be sure to do it quickly though, there was only a few weeks before I would have been out of luck.
