Hey guys, it's a brand new quest from yours truly! I'll still be running PJ Witches, but I wanted to give this idea a run as well! Let's go for a ride, shall we?Twitter: https://twitter.com/MercCommandPast Quests:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Valkyrian%20Mercs%20Questhttp://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Pararescue%20WitchesANYWAYS ON TO THE MAIN ATTRACTION!---YOU ARE.....well...YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED. But hopefully that situation will change soon! After getting laid off from your old corp after getting bought out, you've been trying to search for a new job. Any job, actually. Then, all of a sudden, you get an e-mail from "Clover Entertainment" asking you to come all the way to Delta City for an interview. You didn't know too much about Delta City, considering you lived in Los Angeles for pretty much your entire life, but well... you really REALLY need the money.Another nice perk that convinced to at least entertain the offer was that Clover even shelled out for you flight here. While not exactly a first class flight, you knew that ever since Middle East War God Knows What Number, airline fuel costs have been going nowhere but up. After getting off the plane and picking up your luggage, you head for the exit terminal. You see what looks to be a young to middle aged woman standing near the doors with your name printed on a sign. Off the side, you see an old tourist kiosk manned by an obsolete, but well kept android."NEW TO DELTA CITY?" It shrieks with aging speakers, crackling with white noise and electrical interference.

So...will we waifu or are we the waifu?
>>29084239Well, IMO, I want to try to be the waifu for once to see what it's like.
>>29084239Considering it's idol MANAGEMENT quest, sounds like waifuing.
>>29084261That's assuming we are male or lesbian.
>10 posts into a brand new quest without even characters named dropped> waifu discussion alreadyThis bodes well.
>>29084261in other words, we're the BROducer in a cyberpunk world. will this be the orginal Idolm@ster cast line up, or the new Cinderella cast?
>>29084103>Head to the pickup point.Seriously, getting a brochure instead of just looking it up with a Google search for the city?What year do people think this is?

>>29084408So, a female manager that fits in with the guys and can drink them under the table? Sounds okay with me.
>>29084103Grab a brochure
>>29084103Well... your flight was actually arrive pretty early, which was kind of surprising. You've got about ten to fifteen minutes to spare. Plus you know literally nothing about this city apart from hearsay so you might as well pick one up. You walk up to the tourist kiosk. The android attendant's mechanical optics see you approach and track you carefully as you pick up one of the brochures. Its gaze only leaves you when you slide your credit card into the purchase slot. The android then turns away and continues to try and shill its product.As you walk away, you wryly note that despite its obsolete appearance, its money counting software seems to be working just fine. You then start thumbing through the brochure.>DELTA CITY AND YOU>Welcome newcomer, to Delta City, the first and only privately owned major city in the world! Once a despicable hive of scum, villainy, and overwhelming poverty known as Detroit, Delta City is now one of the largest, most advanced, and most desirable cities in the world!>If you're a businessman, then you'll find now shortage of employment, as Delta City's record low tax rate makes this city the headquarters for almost all of the world's largest megacorporations!

UNAUTHORIZED SALE OF THIS BROCHURE WILL RESULT IN SWIFT LEGAL ACTION.Huh... well you at least have a basic idea of what you're getting into now.

>>29084526Maybe non-heterosexual relationships are normal here seeing as this could be cyberpunk "Rapture".
>>29084455>>You've felt this sensation before, countless times.
>>29084547Ayn Rand actually found gays "immoral" and "disgusting".

>>29084566Those were her personal beliefs, but it gets kinda complicated, due to her being a bit of a wacko.She was opposed to governmental discrimination against homosexuals.But she was ALSO opposed to laws which would prevent discrimination against them in the private sector.So basically, it could go either way.
>>29084547>cyberpunk "Rapture"Good lord why did you remind me of that pandering DLC, they were almost as bad as the mass effect stuff.
>>29084566she had some things right, some things wrong. but forget about her! i can see this place as Andrew Ryan run rapture on land.
>>29084455>>You've felt this sensation before, countless times....Then again, it might be those tacos from last night
>>29084455Well, to most people, this would seem incredibly distressing. To you, it was about as inconvenient as getting cut off on the freeway. Judging from the sound and force the shockwave, you were far enough away from the blast that you wouldn't be seriously hurt by it. What DOES, concern you, though, is that you can hear the distinct sound of gunfire as well, and not from those fancy space age Berettas literally every cop and security officer carried these days, either. You quickly take cover behind a waste bin. Yeah, it wasn't much, but it was better than standing in the open. You see a pair of airport security guards sprinting past you when one of takes a bullet to the head and he topples over. The handgun he's holding drops from his hands and slides right next to you and you pick it up, instinctively checking the safety and if it was loaded.If that guard got hit with that level of accuracy, then that meant the gunfight had to be real close. Uncomfortably close.>Make a run for it.>Try and take a few shots at whoever is shooting at you.>Other
>>29084734[x] Wait for them to get closer, then go for the kill.
>>29084734>Try and take a few shots at whoever is shooting at you.cap this fucker!
>>29084734>>Try and take a few shots at whoever is shooting at you.I hope security doesn't mistake us for whoever's shooting at them.
>>29084734>Other>Engage Wired Reflexes system>gun kata
>>29084734ok need better cover than a trash can. check to see if who ever was gonna pick you up is visable and how there doing. after find better cover bullets go thrugh things like trash cans
>>29084734NOPE.avi>Walk away with no fucks given
>>29084734>Make a run for it.It's not our problem. We keep our nose out of this, and our head down unless we want it shot off.
>>29084734>Make a run for it.The waste bin is concealment, not cover. Get to actual cover before we draw any attention to ourself.
>>29084734>Make a run for it.we need to get the NOPE out of here! this isn't our fight! i don't think we have good enough or any body armor on!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NazpHRsDu2s
>>29084788also, we only have a downed cop's pistol for a fire arm. we will need a better gun if we are to go on the offensive.
>>29084734>>Make a run for itIt ain't our fight after all.
>>29084734>Try and take a few shots at whoever is shooting at you.Make a run for it? And make ourselves into a perfect target when whoever's shooting at us has both a weapon accurate enough and shooting skills good enough to get a headshot that dropped a moving target?
Wait... if we were laid off by a company, know how to operate weaponry and been in situations like this...in a cyberpunk setting are we kind of like Adam Jensen?
>>29084734>>Make a run for it.
>>29084854well i personaly dont think we shuld engage at all the pistol is just a last resort and want to check if the person who was picking us up is any were becuse they probably have some sort of transportation
>>29084871>I didn't ask for this!
>>29084863this
>>29084734While you wanted nothing more than to make a run for it, you had not intention of getting shot in the back,either. You poke your head out really fast and you can see a rather heated gunfight between airport security and what looks to be a gang of armed individuals who really seemed to like the color red. Whoever the red guys were, they didn't seem too concerned about collateral damage, either, firing their guns without caring if they were hitting guards, civilians, or nothing at all. Typical terror tactics.Well, you could waste time wondering about their motives, or you could get some shit done and waste some of them.>roll 1d20>ROLL RULES: I take best of three. However, unlike back in VMQ, rolls of 1 will now override all other results unless a 20 is also rolled!

>>29084932It was me. Disregard that, I'm retarded and suck retarded cocks.
>>29084950Since he said 1's overrule all results unless there's a 20, it's implied that low is bad, high is good.Come on, anon, it's basic contextual sensitivity. You don't need skillsofts for that. Though you may need a linguasoft, I'll admit.
>>29084939WELP! that is a good sign to the first roll challange of a new quest.
>>29084939>>29084954Now it just seems like a waste of perfectly good rolls.>inb4 Low rolls good, high bad.
>>29084976it's merc high roll is good
>>29084954well damn, Merc! can we bank a roll for the next challenge result?
This roll really makes me wonder what kind of company our MC was in. PMC? Private Security? etc.
>>29084999well we got like 5 20's so hopefully
>>29085013we were a secret assassin for our old company so when the new company bought the old one out they were all moral fags and fired us an ddident report cuz moral fags .
>>29085013HCLI?
>>29085032>>29085044Can we be like X9 from Samurai Jack?
>>29085044Yeah, this would do it.
>>29085053all the yes
>>29085053we are not a robot
>>29085066but we are "like" a robot
>>29085053Wait...>Cyberpunk>Future>In DetroitInb4 Robocop.
>>29085044They might have been the ones that did the buying out.PMC wouldn't make sense, since the personnel of a PMC would be one of the primary reasons to acquire one.Probably part of an in-house problem resolution team.
>>29085094OCP was already namedropped, anon. You're late. Like, an hour late.>>29085097>They might have been the ones that did the buying out.Then we must not have been very talented, or we'd have been picked up for somebody's personal team.
>>29085114Derp, I'm just retarded. Somehow I didn't even read that post.
>>29084939The range isn't quite ideal, and the smoke was starting to obscure your vision, but at least inside the terminal you didn't have to worry about stuff like wind. Taking careful aim you pop off three shots and three of the terrorists go down with clean headshots. In the confusion, none of the security guards even realize that those kills weren't theirs. With a window opened, you make a dash for the exit the terminal, where everybody else is desperately trying to clamber out through the doors, causing a jam. Rather than getting trapped behind the rest of the fleeing civilians, you instead shoot out one of the large windows next to the doors. Seriously what was with airports and large windows?Either way, you manage to get out of the terminal, where to your dismay you see that the red clad terrorists are also trying to flee, dashing for an unmarked van parked outside the terminal. One of the stragglers pauses, apparently not wanting to miss the chance to waste some more unarmed people when a black sedan suddenly screeches out of nowhere, slamming into the gunman and sending him flying in a heap of broken bones and ruptured flesh. Stunned, you see the sedan stop right in front of you and the passenger side door opens. Inside you see the same woman who was assigned to pick you up in the driver's seat."Get in." She says.Without hesitate, you jump in and your newfound companion guns the engine, leaving the embattled airport behind."Well, that was inconvenient." Your driver grumbles.>Who the hell were those guys?>Excuse me, you are...?>Other

>>29085241Not>religious radicals
>>29085097>In-house problem resolutionYou mean wetworks? Sounds nasty. Wetworks means a penchant for knives and suppressors--quick, close, and most importantly, quiet ways of getting rid of the trash.
>>29085241I'd expect the color green for eco-terrorists, not red. Though red does seem like it would work for the anarcho-primitivists.Or religious cultists.
Rolled 14>>29085241You forgot PMCs hired by enemy airline.

>>29085320From our reaction its a common occurrence.
>>29085097>>29085252Maybe we were laid off because we did jobs on a "contractual" basis.

>>29085138"I'm sorry, I don't think I got your name..." You say."Miss Jenner is fine for now." Your driver grunts as swerves around several cars. "Honestly, you'd think with citywide vehicle autopilot they could stand to up the speed limit...""Okay..." You sigh. "How about those guys shooting up the airport? Who the hell were they?""Neo-Communists, I'm guessing." Jenner shrugs. "You know, someone read's Marx's manifesto and they suddenly think they know how to run the economy. Mostly just disgruntled folks who don't like how the corps operate.""I was under the assumption a lot of people didn't like how corps operate." You sigh."Oh no, these people hate the idea of capitalism itself. I guess that's why they like shooting up Delta City so much. Represents everything they hate." "I see..." You nod. "Is... is this a normal thing?""Happens often enough it only gets a three second mention in local news.""Ah.""Anyways, I saw what you did in there. That was some pretty good shooting.

>>29085939Mostly hidden stuff. Standing out in a crowd is a bad idea these days.
>>29085939>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.I really can't think of an Other that's actually much different from the stock options.
I hope we get eye lasers or temporary cloaking.
>>29085939>>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.
>>29085939Can we go full cyborg?I wanna go full cyborg.
>>29085998since we specced for ranged combat, I'm hoping for something more along the lines of a cybernetic eye ballistics computer or something
>>29086006NOPE!
>>29085939>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.And as full an array of sensory ware as we can manage. Cybereyes with infrared, whatever other vision types we can manage, and magnification, cyberears with noise filtering.
>>29085939>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.I like our humanity thanks.
>>29085939>>Still got most of my parts from my combat cyborg days.Just what sorta augs would be on a cyberpunk soldier? Strengthened skeletal structure? Muscle enhancement? Armored skin? Synthetic eyes that provide a project a HUD over a person's vision? Some sort of Black Carapace-like system that links up to an armor suit?
>>29086008It looks like we are a combo of army and the stealth option.
>>29086021Whoops, meant>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.
>>29086033best choice
>>29085939>Still got most of my parts from my combat cyborg days.Focusing mainly on ranged combat and marksmanship. Muscle enhancement, enhanced flexibility and endurance, wired reflexes of some sort.
>>29086048I-I dare to ask if Abstergo is in this city.
>>29085939>>Still got most of my parts from my combat cyborg days.
>>29086063we coming for ya nigga!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NZaIE-OBYg
I was thinking basic Eye Augs, increased vision, basic HUD, can see in multiple spectrums of light the usual.
>>29086011What's wrong with going Full Cyborg? Other than, y'know, becoming detached from our humanity and all. I would think Transhumanism would be on the up and up in a cyberpunk society--unless it's one of those cyberpunk futures where it's treated like taboo.
>>29086078Cyberpsychosis is a real thing, Anon.
>>29086078Shockingly enough, some of us are rather attached to our humanity.
>>29085939>>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.>>Still got most of my parts from my combat cyborg days.>>Other"I still have most of my augs needed for stealth and ranged combat."
>>29086072I support this but only if we also get thermo vision/x-ray vision.
>>29086063If they are we will be fighting/working for them I bet
>>29085939>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.Hidden stuff can be useful. No obvious cyberlimbs, but eyes with everything we can put in them, enhanced targeting and reflexes, reinforced musculature and skeleton, toxin resistance, faster healing, can all be done without looking obvious. As much of this as we can manage.
>>29085939>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.Purity first!
>>29086078I'd rather be physically imperfect and retain my humanity than be just another faggot with an inferiority complex, anon.
>>29085939>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.we can get new augs when needed later
>>29086072You could get most of that from a good set of military-spec tactical goggles. I'd rather have stuff like a good head computer and datajack full of military-grade cyber-warfare utilities.
>>29085939>>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.Wanna be badass normal as it's those guys that stand out the most among the heavy cyborgized bunch (see Ghost in the Shell's Togasa)That and if Augs are so common, there's likely counter measuers.
>>29086063>AbstergoMaybe. But why would the Templars but in with our business. We're just some producer overworking young girls to sing and dance and model--well not yet, but we're getting to that point. The only conceivable reason they would want to fuck with us is if one of the girls which will be under our care is actually part of the Assassin's Order--which is, in and of itself, kinda far-fetched.
>>29086078Cybernetic rejections.Remember all those vets in Deus Ex?
>>29085939>>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.Pfffft, we don't need no augs to be badass.
>>29086006never go full cybrog
>>29085939>>I got a few hidden augs, in case of emergencies.Good lord there is alot of same fag happening.
>>29085939Just the basics.
>>29085939>Still got most of my parts from my combat cyborg days.Maybe we removed the really obvious stuff, but we're still pretty damn cybered.
>>29086078lets not forget GitS problem with full borg. your augs can be hacked as well and turned agienst you.
>>29085939>>Just the basic stuff, but otherwise I'm 100% blood and flesh.Want to be badass normal.We survived in the army special forces without any fucking augs.
>>29086151>if one of the girls which will be under our care is actually part of the Assassin's OrderOr has genetic memories they want.That reminds me, we should make sure our girls have at least basic self defense skills.
>>29085939"I still got a few hidden augs, just in case of emergencies." You admit. "Some augs, you just can't live without, you know?""That's perfectly understandable." Jenner nods. "What are talking about here?""Cybernetic eyes with zoom and multi-spectrum vision modes, a built in ballistics computer, a nerve aug that can clamp down on unconscious movement, and cyberized arms so I can hold and aim pretty much any gun known to man.""Impressive." Jenner grins. "Those skills should be useful.""Actually, I was sort of wondering." You frown. "What would an entertainment company need with a man with my skills?""Everything will be explained shortly." Jenner says flatly as she finally swings the car off the freeway. You see that you're now quite a ways away from the massive, brightly lit city center, but you were still in a very well to do commercial area. Jenner finally parks the car in front of a modestly sized office building, no more than two or three stories, with the sign CLOVER ENTERTAINMENT emblazoned on the front."We're here." Jenner says simply before getting out of the car and motioning you to follow her.>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.>Ask her about Clover Entertainment.>Just stay quiet and follow her.>Other
>>29086228>>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.Might as well learn about the employer.
>>29086228>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.>Ask her about Clover Entertainment.
>>29086228>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.
>>29086228>>29086252this
>>29086228>"Cybernetic eyes with zoom and multi-spectrum vision modes, a built in ballistics computer, a nerve aug that can clamp down on unconscious movement, and cyberized arms so I can hold and aim pretty much any gun known to man."I hope this doesn't bite us in the ass.
>>29086228>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.Get to know who we'll be working for.
>>29086145>see Ghost in the Shell's TogasaActually, he performed pretty sub-par in any combat they took part in. He was brought in mostly for his ideas (because he came with a police background, not a military one).
>>29086267Note to self, build a protective field around the girls' stage at the concert to prevent x-ray vision eyes from looking at them.
>>29086228>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.but if it looks like we're asking too many questions. SHUT.UP!
>>29086190That's what Autistic Mode is for.>>29086228>"What would an entertainment company need with a man with my skills?"We Charles Foster Ofdensen now?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6gIaeC5kQk>>29086228>Ask her about Clover Entertainment.
>>29086228>Other"Being told that everything will be explained, usually meant that none of the important things would be explained because they weren't 'need to know'. What CAN you tell me about this job offer?"
>>29086294Or you could just have all the girls' costumes be woven using heavy metal weaves.
>>29086294I am sure clover has that covered
>>29086294X-rays don't work like that.
>>29086332Bitches don't know shit 'bout dem sexy bones.
>>29086332were in the future some perv probably made something that could
>>29086378human ingenuity, ladies and gentlemen
So how exactly is this going to be a 'management' quest? Right now it's looking more like we're a bodyguard than anything else.
>>29086267It's not inconceivable that some sort of Haywire Grenade could short these systems--completely white out and lock down our vision, "dummy" our arms--that sorta thing. Hell, you don't even need an EM pulse--a really skilled piece of tech that could fuck us up would be some sort of grenade or hack that completes floods our system with junk data and completely locks down our augs.Of course, this isn't stopping anyone from setting up on a rooftop two miles from one of our girls' stages with a camo cloak, EM scrambler, multiple range, windage, weather, elevation compensators, and 20mm anti-materiel rifle, a la Saito from GiTS
I'm surprised that nobody is going around praising about how "purer" organic augments are better than cybers. Next thing we know, we have a war between organic augment companies and cybernetic augment companies.
>>29086405Then we can use the same same counters that the military has for their front-line combat cyborgs.
>>29086405You do know that military augs have back up systems for that right?
Ok, which idol is that in the OP, and is that from Cinderella Girls or Million Live
>>29086228>>Ask her about this "Boss" fellow.
>>29086475Neither.
>>29086452>organic augments, old and busted>D.N.A. spicing, new hotnessit's better than getting surgery and organ rejection problems.
>>29086405we aren't fully auged dipshit, we just have hidden ones, we still have our body an arm and our two legs.
>>29086494doh! i meant 'Splicing'
>>29086475Hikaru Nanjo, from CG
>>29086494So essentially we potentially have an arms race between two factions running in the background. And all we wanted was to manage some idols.
>>29086520So far this quest seems to be leaning much heavier on the "Cyberpunk" side of things than the "Idol Management" side.
>>29086228"So, who exactly is this 'Boss' guy you're talking about?" You ask curiously."Well.... he doesn't really go by any name other than Boss, so that's just what we call him." Jenner shrugs. "All I know is, he takes running Clover Entertainment very seriously, which is why he's rather picky when it comes to new hires.""Like me.""Exactly like you." Jenner nods.Jenner then reaches a door, which only says BOSS on the nameplate. Before she even has a chance to knock on the door you hear a voice from within."I'm ready, Miss Jenner. Please send him in."The door then slides open and Jenner stands to the side, motioning for you to go in. A bit wary, you carefully step inside the office, instinctively examining every nook and cranny in the room for a possible trap."Oh, don't worry, you won't find any traps in here." The man seated at the desk laughs lightly. Now that you get a good look at him, he looks... extremely normal. "Not what you were expecting, eh?" He laughs again. "Please, take a seat.""Yes sir." You say, defaulting back to your military instincts and taking a seat in one of the assorted chairs."Now," Boss leans forward with a grin on his face. "Why do you think I called you all the way out here?">My combat skills?>My command skills?>My charisma?>Other
>>29086584>Other"My fetish for cute girls doing cute things?"
>>29086584>>My charisma?We need a "Face" to present ourselves.
>>29086556i guess this is the prolog section of the quest. we'll see.
>>29086556We haven't seen hide nor hair of idols, so it only make sense. Stay on the ride fa/tg/uy.[x] My strapping good looks. Said in the manner that brooks no argument, and evident that it is no question at all.
>>29086584>My command skills?
>>29086584>My charisma?
>>29086584>My command skills?We are a leader of idols
>>29086584>>My command skills?>>My charisma?
>>29086584>Other"You needed someone from a different background than your other employees in order to maintain a heterogenous corporate culture and to avoid homogenization and the stagnation it brings?"
>>29086584>im a homosexual so i wont hit on the idols?
My winning smile?
>>29086584>>My charisma?Idol quest go.
>>29086584>Other"i would like to think it was my collection of skills. but honestly, i do not know sir."
>>29086584>>My charisma?
>>29086584>>My command skills?It takes balls and a great sense of planning to schedule and order around a massive group of tweens and teens among modeling shoots, stage performances, and acting gigs, all the while making sure they're not drinking, taking too many drugs, and are still presentable enough that the paparazzi don't get anything too saucy when they're preying on our girls during their every waking moment.
>>29086584[x] My command skills?
>>29086584>>My combat skills?>>My command skills?>>My charisma?"Well there is my combat skills and augs from the military, or my experience from commanding squads of troop, or just maybe my award wining smile sir."
>>29086643>all the while making sure they're not drinking, taking too many drugs,>taking to many drugs>to manylol
>>29086584>My charisma?>>29086643I can dig a paparazzi punching quest. Fuckers exist only to waste the air we breathe.
I'm going to make a wild guess of an idol:>An idol who is actually an A.I. controlling a cyborg or something similar (unsure of feel about an A.I. using "wetware", but it is akin to disgust).I wonder what laws there are for A.I.?Asimov's revised laws of robotics?
>>29086669I hope they've figured out the Zeroth Law...
I got a feeling clover has a dark side...
>>29086690Would be a bit strange for an A.I. girl to upload herself into any of our stuff (watches, phones, computer, etc.), especially our own augs.
>>29086643>taking too many drugsAnd in this case, "Too many" is "Anything a reputable doctor doesn't tell them to take for legitimate medical reasons.">paparazzi>implying any paparazzi who get too invasive with our girls won't come down with a sudden terminal case of "Blade in Throat Disease"Seriously, you fuck with our girls, we fuck with you.
>>29086703>not immediately thinking of cloverfield.
>>29086669I'm thinking they are a group of idols with each something different about them.(1 is fully auged, one is partial, one is a robot, ect.)
>>29086669>an A.I. controlling a cyborg or something similarLike, a cyborg made out of cloned parts? Because otherwise we're getting into some rather nasty territory.
>>29086669Sharon Apple please
>>29086669Anon, do not give Merc ideas.I personally DON'T want to wind up with a Sharon Apple on our hands.
>>29086658Look, it's understandable that the girls will need to unwind. The constant shuttling between locations is tiresome and stressful. As long as they don't overdose, it's fine. There's always rehab, after all.Regardless, we'll need to stop them from getting to the point of needing rehab in the first place if there *is* a drug problem arising--that only leads to a PR nightmare and several months' worth of stories in the tabloids.
>>29086727I hope we can kill TMZ...
>>29086727so gonna hand them joints in the limmo? im happy with that.
>>29086727You're assuming that casual and unfettered usage is illegal in the first place.
>>29086740i tried watching them recently and its surprising how they are so open with their jealousy/hate for actors and other types of stars.
>>29086727Unless nanomachines protect their bodies from drugs to the point that you could drink 5 bottles of vodka and stay below the limit.
>>29086714In the final analysis there isn't a whole lot of physical difference between a fully auged cyborg and a robot, and partial augs can do the whole "I never asked for this" thing just as easily as full augs. It'd be rather pointless to have all 3.
>>29086800Maybe for a robot, they could do the typical "What is this love you speak of?" and try to learn what it means to be human.
>>29086789What's the fucking point of drinking if you don't get drunk? Especially spirits like vodka.
>>29086584"Um, my charisma?" You ask."Exactly!" The Boss grins. "I read about what you did in Kurdistan. Managed to keep the various tribes and warlords in your area of operation from shooting each other up! I need a man like that here!""To be fair, a lot of that charisma came from having bigger guns than everybody else." You sigh."Big Stick Diplomacy is a recognized and proven method." The Boss agrees. "You'll be having a lot of responsibilities, though. Do you think you can handle managing a group of teenage girls?""I.... what?" You blink."Well, that's what this interview is for! Clover Entertainment is an idol production company, and we need a good Producer to keep things running smoothly! Make sure the girls are healthy, happy, and don't get assassinated in the middle of the night by jealous rivals!">I'll take the job.>Uhh... can you repeat that again?>Other
>>29086800We need to pander to every market anon, that is what an idol is basically they are people to connect with and you need to connect with very different people.
>>29086826That's the thing. People would then do absolutely anything to get a "buzz". Drugs don't work any more, so what do you do?>>29086830>I'll take the job.Let's get this started.
>>29086830>Uhh... can you repeat that again?
>>29086830>>Uhh... can you repeat that again?"Namely the last part. I think that that could use some elaboration before I say yes."
Shout, "I'll take the job!"Then, in a quieter voice, ask "That assassination thing was a joke, right?"
>>29086830>I'll take the jobWe need the money.
>>29086830>Uhh... can you repeat that again?Send again?
>>29086830>>Uhh... can you repeat that again?
>>29086830>Other"Sir, with all due respect- I can assault a position, defend it, call in enough artillery to ruin God's day, bayonet fight an angry Scotsman, knife fight with a Filipino, and out shoot any one you want to put me up against except maybe a designated sniper. I've lead men into Hell and brought them out safely.But little girls? Sir, I require extreme compensation for something so dangerous."
>>29086830we should totaly get stary eyed becuse we would watch over an idol we love (in the there really awsome way)
>>29086830>>I'll take the job.If it puts bread on the table, might as well.
>>29086830>Uhh... can you repeat that again?"Mainly that last part, how jealous are these rivals? Do they usually hire out for these operations or use their own in house staff?"And then we can discuss pay.
>>29086878FUCKING THIS
>>29086830>>I'll take the job.Hey guys can we be the husbino for these girl instead of having the same shit that is happening in PGQ?
>>29086878I love it!
I hope we have a big fucking budget to get the resources needed to protect them.
>>29086878This works for me.
Taking bets, how long 'til we get in a brawl with some former comrades when one of them talks shit on one of our girls?
>implying /tg/ is charismaticIt begins.>>29086830[x] >>29086878
>>29086878this is good
>>29086878fuck yes thi smight actually happen
>>29086837At the base level, we need to understand that this is a quest. The point is to have fun, not to make realistic business decisions. And while us managing a dozen cookie cutter teenage idols we don't even bother to remember the names of is certainly realistic, it wouldn't be a whole lot of fun.
>>29086936Different type of character we already settled in who e are so we won't act like reinhold, i'm more worried that the waifu war shit will happen in this quest.(which is the opposite of the source material since it should be the girls themselves doing the fighting)
>>29086921Well, Clover Entertainment's around two to three stories tall, right? I'm guessing the budget will be decent, but definitely nothing like if we were producing for a group of idols sponsored by a MegaCorp. Megacorp Money would buy us anything our hearts desired--limousines, private jets, mechanized security *with* the optional Drone Package, all of it.
>>29086956Idol master was able to handle it.
>>29086830>Uhh... can you repeat that again?Wih a bit more detail please.
>>29086936I'm wondering how long it will take for us to get blackmailed into an illegal pitfighting tournament arc, with Jenner threatened with becoming a sex slave if we lose to anyone or refuse to fight.
>>29087035that would be stupid
>>29087018well idolmaster put in a decent amount of characterization in the original group over time while with the newer bunches seem more reliant on certain things to make a quick impact (take Ms. Cowgirl with milkjugs to match)
>>29087012I hope it's like the im@s games where we slowly move up to bigger and better offices from the shitty starting office that I believe is used in the anime
>>29086956Do you even Idol M@ster?
>>29087043Didn't stop the last guy who ran an Idolmaster quest.
>>29087046To be fair, the new bunches are from mobile "games". We'll have to wait until One For All, I guess
>>29087012As long as we have resources and logistics, we should be fine. We must manage like Ofdensen.
>>29087074And doesn't stop you from being a whiny bitch either.
>>29087101That is a completely irrelevant insult.
>>29087088He was one of my favorite characters in that show,
>>29087116Shut up, faggot!
>>29087121You know, I hope we get some people like the Klokateers as red shirts for our subordinates.
>>29087116You're bringing in the complaints from another quest that is only tangentially related due to the subject matter.Just leave it at the door.
>>29087134Forgot a link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVUzmbwyVIQ
Just an FYI, we're past bump limit.
>>29086830You spend several seconds trying to analyze just what exactly the Boss had said to you, and you take a deep breath."Sir, with all due respect- I can assault a position, defend it, call in enough artillery to ruin God's day, bayonet fight an angry Scotsman, knife fight with a Filipino, and out shoot any one you want to put me up against except maybe a designated sniper. I've lead men into Hell and brought them out safely." You say with the most resolute expression on your face. "But little girls? Sir, I require extreme compensation for something so dangerous."The Boss just bursts out laughing at this and he nearly falls out of his seat while doing so. You see Jenner quickly poke her head in to see what was going on before pulling back out."I'll take that as a yes, then." The Boss wipes a tear from his eye. "You'll be properly compensated. Unfortunately, as you can see, we're not a big operation, you won't be getting as much as a megacorp can pay out, but it'll definitely be better than basic security pay.""Thank you, sir.""So, starting today, you are Clover Entertainment's PRODUCER." The Boss reaches out his hand. "Welcome to the team!""It's an honor, sir." You say, shaking his hand."Now we have to get this operation off the ground! So much work but so little people to carry it out!"' The Boss sits back down in his seat. "Consult with Miss Jenner for further details."With that, you exit the Boss' office and see Jenner waiting for you. She then cracks a grin."Congratulations, Producer. We've got a lot of work to take care of.""Whoa, what, I'm on the clock right now?" You blink."Of course! We're a budding operation, so we need a lot of things taken care of!" Jenner sighs. "Aside from the Boss, you and me are the only two people working in this building. We need to assemble some idols and a proper support staff.">Let's recruit some support staff first.>Let's recruit some idols first.>Other
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.Time to build a foundation.
>>29087088So fucking up anyone who fucks with our bread and butter, eventually becoming the head of a clandestine cult that worships our band as the salvation from a doomsday prophesy first talked about in ages past?I will only agree to this if there is a badass rock opera somewhere in the transition process.
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some idols first.Lets get to idoling.
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.
>>29087178>Let's recruit some support staff first.we must lay the foundation first...
>>29087178>Let's recruit some support staff first.Foundation first. First off, security. We know a couple mates from back in the day, don't we?From there, janitors. After them, the people that make everything happen behind the scenes. Stage dudes, lighting, sound, props, costuming.AND THEN WE GET THE CUTE GIRLS DOING CUTE THINGS.It's like baking a cake and then eating it.
>>29087178Gotta get the background guys first
>>29087063which anime? As thre was one that put the girls in some scifi mecha scenario.>>29087079Though the only one that stuck out from the DS game was the trap>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.inb4 a girl named Tarin appears.
>>29087191>>29087195Send in the Klokateers!!!
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.We need to know the people we're working with
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.We'll need a makeup guy, an unpaid intern, and a bodyguard or three to start things off. The makeup guy because, well, we don't know jack shit about that, the unpaid intern to be our Ramirez, and the bodyguards because, well, their role is self-explanatory.
>>29087178>Support staffIf there's anything Brutal Legend tought me, roadies are all-important. They let the star do his thing, do skut work, and keep everyone productive and happy
>>29087237Xenoglossia isn't *really* an idolm@ster show.So, the 2011 one
>>29087237>As thre was one that put the girls in some scifi mecha scenario.Unless you're talking specifically about an idolm@ster anime, that description is so hilariously broad as to be nigh-meaningless>inb4 a girl named Tarin appears>implying Tarin isn't gonna be our dangerous idolMerc's just waiting until the day when we waifu Tarin in one of her many forms
>>29087237You know...the one called "The iDOLM@STER"...
Support staff! Naturally, we'll need to find the OL first.
A warning as to what happens to the fans if something happens to one of their favourite members:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AIgWOirQys
>>29087280Never gonna happen.
>inb4 one of our "support staff" turns out to have an excellent singing voice...
>>29087178This is now how Producer looks like now.
>>29087178>>Let's recruit some support staff first.Recruit the Tarin
>>29087178>Let's recruit some support staff first.I dont want to deal with a team of idol all by myself. Don't forget to get an errand boy.
>>29087321Why is P-san about to brain fractal Chihayas?
>>29087237>>29087280I hope and wish for the day that will happen.Though Jenner is a very close second.Though knowing /tg/ they pick the little girl

so should we make a new thread or something? or is QM gona be done soon?
>>29087339The Chihayas are his Stand, anonWait, are there supposed to be a seven? Where's four?Fuck, I need to read JoJo
>>29087347Of course, special forces are often inserted behind enemy lines where interacting with locals is a required skill.So to keep a low profile all augs would be easily hidden and coverable.
So we need A makeup artistA hair dresserA costume designerA seamstressA travel agentAn assistanta music producerSo what else?
>>29087370>is QM gona be done soon?
>>29087399ill take that as a good sign
>>29087388Also, someone looking like an average guy helps with disguise.
>>29087398A Tarin
So anyone have a guide on how i can get into IdolM@ster?>>29087370>so should we make a new thread or something?We still have 5 hours left.>is QM gona be done soon?Merc is going at a decent pace for a quest anon.
>>29087398see >>29086956 but replace idols with support staff.
>>29087426ahh still pretty new on the whole quest thread stuff so ya
>>29087426You should ask in the Idolm@ster thread>>/a/98979890But, the 2011 anime's a great starthttp://coalgirls.wakku.to/torrents/%5BCoalgirls%5D_The_Idolmaster_%281280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC%29.torrent
>>29087426Sure. You watch the "The iDOLM@STER," anime (it's 24 episodes) and if you like that then you can go ahead and find and grab the music.There's some mangoos, but idk about that. There's some vidyer, but they're all JP language only except for the PSP game(s) Idolmaster SP, which have a translation.
>>29087398An army of devoted, faceless fans that will die for the idols they work under if so ordered.
>>29087456Sorry, I think that's >>>/a/98979890
>>29087370>so should we make a new thread or something?What?
>>29087469>>29087459>>29087456thanks checking out the anime, and it sucks that the games are in japanese since i always see arch rave about them.
Bah, abstract the support staff stuff except for the Kotori equivalent assistant/OL, that's what the im@s games do
>>29087345not really, /tg/ tends to go for a mix of things:Legal and/or particularly fuckable girlsGirls that confessTHe only way the "little girl" would have a chance is if she had the magic number "18" or higher. Otherwise she'll be doomed to be a little sister.Though seriously it's too soon to tell about Jenner.>>29087486I'd imagine we'd get something akin to Kotori
>>29087443But what i'm suggesting is fun anon.also we should do what the guy suggested and get a group of varied girls
>>29087465So why don't we just have an army of clones of someone we find particularly useful and give them matching uniforms?
>>29087484Arch has attained moonspeak enlightenment. But yea, check out the anime and from there you can decide on how deep your own personal rabbit-hole goes
>>29087484So say we all, Anon. So say we all.
>>29087484The PSP games (The iDOLM@STER SPs, not Shiny Festa) are (mostly) translated. Grab an emulator and those isos and lead your favorite aidoru to the topUnless your favorite Aidoru is not Yukiho, Chihaya, Iori, Yayoi, Makoto, or Haruka, because the remaining routes are not translated.Also, because Miki, Takane, and Hibiki are not produceable, being on the other side.
>>29087504At the very least, you will be L@DY
>Playing idolm@ster 2I hope you've studied your jap prefectures anon
>>29087383To make it short, the character who uses that Stand in canon thinks the number 4 is cursed. So there are six parts to the Stand, but one is numbered 7 because the counting skips 4.
>>29087501Clones are boring, even if the upkeep is cheaper. Fans? Fans have something that clones don't: passion. True, unfiltered passion for the musicians/actors/models under our care. That passion is a greater work incentive than any protein paste we could feed a clone. Fans are the lifesblood of an idol's media empire--why not put that fandom to use?
Also, don't read Breakthe cover albums are the only good thing about that manga >>29087544Makes sense. I really need to get around to reading jojoOr David needs to animate it faster
>>29087562Hmmm, paying fans in merchandise for work rather than actual cash... That. Is. GENIUS.
>>29087469http://www.yukipo.com/manga/breakThis bring up any warning signs?
>>29087518>Iori>YayoiNo need for any other.
>>29087500I would place 6-7 girls total as the maximum, which 3-4 being support staff. I know idolmaster has 11 girls, but a with a quest we simply don't have the time to meaningfully interact with more. Honestly I would put 4-5 as the ideal.
>>29087597>Pai-Touch all day every day
>>29087602Should they be individual idols, a group, or should we have a mix of them?
>>29087584We create a new Megacorp.A Megacorp based on Fancism.
>>29087584Wanna hear genius?Pay them in worn pantiesYou'll conquer the worl with that army if you so desire.
>>29087178"Okay, so first off, we need some bodyguards-""Actually..." Jenner interjects."I don't like where this 'actually' is coming from..." You frown. "Is there something about idoling that I don't know?""Well, according to Business Practices and Ethics Code Article 869432c, companies not specifically designated as a PMC or security firm cannot hire full time, armed personnel.""What... what kind of law is that?" You blink."To make people hire said PMCs and security firms, of course." Jenner points out. "But... there's a way around that.""And that would be...?""We train the idols of course.""What? That's crazy!" You blink."Well, of course. You obviously don't train ALL of them to be combat capable. A few of them you have focus on performance skills and-""Hold up for a second." You say. "You're telling me that we just turn a bunch of teenage girls into armed killers?""That's the gist of it." Jenner shrugs. "Why do you think we brought you in as a Producer and not a security specialist? In your capacity, you can both oversee the girls and train them in the skills they need. Since they're classified as idols, they don't fall under the definition of "dedicated combat personnel" the law specifies. Every other idol company does the same thing. It's common practice, actually.""Okay, we'll worry about that later." You sigh. "What would we need?""Well, I can handle most of the smaller scale stuff, like janitors and all." Jenner says. "But we need to make decisions around core staff. And, we only have the budget to hire three full time staff at the moment, so we'll have to pick wisely.""Okay, so what are the categories?">Choose which role you want to recruit for first. Some roles, if not filled, can be taken by automated processes but they obviously will not be as effective as an actual person:>Engineer>Doctor>Wheelman>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>Hacker>Accountant>Counselor
>>29087639>>29087643But first we have to get them to be popular.
>>29087653>>EngineerWe need someone to fix things in a jiffy if something breaks.
I'm gonna be disappointed if we don't get Gene and Olivia for our support crew.Also, are we going FULL SHADOWRUN in this? How many dragons are we gonna sing to death?(Please say all of them)
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>Hacker
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>CounselorThese three should be the priority from my perspective.
>>29087653>Hacker
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>AccountantThe first two are self-evident, and the last is because it's easier to make money appear and disappear in the right places with someone who knows how to gently manipulate the books
>>29087615It's all the same to me. I just wanted to avoid the quest collapsing under the weight of too many character like a certain other quest I could name...
>>29087653>Doctor
>>29087615Any way we cut it, it'll be a clusterfuck, just in varying degrees of clusterfuckery. Six or seven individuals idols means six or seven growing fandoms to support, six or seven growing media empires to build, six or seven different schedules to manage and create. The group only streamlines the process, if just a bit. We still need to deal with the dalliances of six or seven teens/tweens--and that means boys, insecurity issues, self-image issues, and substance abuse that can run from alcohol to prescription painkillers to cocaine to whatever the fuck drugs are on the market in this future--like Nuke or Death Sticks or Adrenochrome
>>29087672This, the first two are self-evident, while the Counselor really needs to be human to help with the girls. We are supposed to be training them to be fucking armed killers, distasteful as it is.
I'm thinking of choosing an engineer because of the possibility of sabotage, and because of the nifty things they can come up with. If an engineer wanted you dead, they would do it in the most elaborate way possible.
>>29087653>>Doctor>>Dance Instructor>>SongwriterThe girls are our business here guys.
>>29087683SWQ vanilla wasn't that hard to follow if you had some introduction to the characters from the anime
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>Counselor
>>29087653>Wheelman>Songwriter>Dance Instructor (instructors with hand to hand combat experience are preferred)
>>29087653>>29087672>>29087698This. We know enough field medicine and combat first aid to get bye for doctor, and, well, combat engineering is simply the application of destructive forces in creative ways to unengineer things. We've got that covered, at least for now.
>>29087653>>Accountant>>Counselor>Doctor
>>29087653>>Engineer>>Dance Instructor>>Songwriter
>>29087701And the hacker should be able to safeguard against that to some extend unless they use old-school mechanical stuff but with the heavy cybertech, less likely.
>>29087653>Engineer>Dance Instructor>Songwriter
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>CounselorI know this is Cyberpunk, but turning a bunch of teenaged girls we're supposed to protect into a bunch of killers is going pretty far.
>>29087653>>DoctorIf we can't keep the girls healthy, then we're already looking at lots of lost productive days, which means rescheduled photo shoots and canceled tour dates--ergo, massive dents to our bottom line and a lot of angry fans. Get a doctor.
>>29087653>Accountant>Songwriter>Engineer
>>29087653>>Doctor>>Dance Instructor>>Songwriter
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>CounselorI am in the firm belief that counseling needs a human touch.
>>29087719They're on a mission from god.
>>29087745I always thought that little janitor thing was a nice touch to ODST
>>29087745And robodocs should be a real thing now and it still doesn't rule out actually going to see a flesh and blood doctor.A Hacker would have much greater usability from the get go instead of waiting on a girl to fall ill.
>>29087653>>Songwriter>>Dance Instructor>>DoctorI figure as a small startup, we don't need an accountant just yet, and we can train the girls to do some of the other jobs.
>>29087653>>DoctorWe need the girls in their best help and also in case of serious injury.>>Dance InstructorThe girls need to learn how to dance, plus this will help with their combat.>>SongwriterNot every girl knows how to write a song and we need this person to attract fans.
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>CounselorWe're supposed to turn our idol group into a goddamn commando squad.Whelp.
>>29087773this
>>29087653> Engineer > Dance Instructor > Songwriter Wait, what exactly does Jenner do?
>>29087706Yes, but you never saw half the characters again after 1 or 2 scenes. Planefag had a whole lot of trouble keeping so many character arcs moving, which I blame for the eventual demise of the quest.
>>29087653>>Doctor>>Dance Instructor>>SongwriterThere is no need for a councilor when you have a buff producer to talk to, plus the life of show biz won't happen to them to fast and we are training them.
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>CounselorBecause hell, even without the fact that we're training them in combat the girls are going to be suffering through a fuckton of issues. Having a person, a HUMAN, to help them through that would be invaluable.
>>29087785>eventual demise of the quest.He'll come back...one day...hopefully
>>29087653>>Dance Instructor>>Songwriter>>Hacker
>>29087785He'll return to us. One day, anon. He'll return.
>>29087784Assistant
>>29087653>>Dance Instructor
>>29087784she is boss' secretary so shoul be able to do everything.
>MUH MORALSThe alternative is leaving them with no protection whatsoever in a VERY harsh environment.Think about that for a minute.
Just by the looks of it Songwriter and Dance Instructor are more or less universal but the 3rd slot is contested inbetween Engineer, Counselor, Hacker, and Doctor.
>>29087653>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>Counselor>>29087799Or maybe we're not actually qualified to deal with serious psychological issues that are bound to pop up in this sort of environment.Are you fucking retarded?
>>29087653>>Doctor>>Dance Instructor>>Songwriterpeople believing a human doctor is better than a robot doctor(for psychology)
>>29087785SW89 is also awfully cluttered with characters to the point some suffer.
>>29087653>>Doctor>>Dance Instructor>>SongwriterThis is for the girls.
>>29087683>>29087785Wiseman pls.>>29087811>>29087816HAVE FAITH IN PLANEFAG, HE WILL RETURN.
>>29087811>>29087816I want to believe, but I just can't keep up the hope anymore...
>>29087653Okay, I don't think I made it quite clear in my last prompt.CHOOSE ONE CHOICE FIRST. Because having to dig through triple choices is going to be a nightmare otherwise.>Engineer>Doctor>Wheelman>Dance Instructor>Songwriter>Hacker>Accountant>Counselor
>>29087784Sexual Tension AdministratorSo the male help don't touch the girls.
>>29087729Just in case a vital piece of equipment goes down, an engineer can quickly jury rig something to substitute or make it work just long enough.
>>29087881>CounselorBecause this is the choice I really think we should have someone human for.
>>29087881>Doctor
>>29087869That's not wiseman. And please don't drag disputes from other sites on to here.
>>290878812 was pretty much decided. shoulda taken thosse 2 and asked for the third.That aside>Songwriter

>>29087881DANCE DANCE BABY
>>29087881>DoctorHealth before dancing and singing!
>>29087881We seem mostly agree on a dance instructor and a songwriter, so I would just go with us picking the last slot.
>>29087881>AccountantMake that paper booboo.
Songwriter.Gotta get the basics first
>>29087881>Counselor>>29087891I'd rather keep the girls ok than give a shit about some equipment.
>>29087881>SongwriterIdorus must have music>>29087869>>29087877I still have faith, but a year takes its toll
>>29087881>Counselor

>>29087881>AccountantGot to know where the money is going all the time. I should know.
>>29087881>>Dance Instructor
>>29087881Wheelman! Think of the car chases!
>>29087881>>Dance InstructorLets get em prancing properly.
>>29087881>>Doctor
>>29087934>well, sir, our idols don't know much about singing or dancing, but we can sure as hell pull off some Tokyo Drift shit
>>29087881>Songwriter
>>29087881>>Engineer
>>29087881>>DoctorOur Doctor can be our counselor.Plus while robodocs are hella good and all, well...Ever heard of a second opinion?
>>29087949Race Queens, yo.
>>29087949>performances consist of running car chases and gun fights through city centers and suburbsFUND IT
>>29087881>>Counselor
I have a feeling all of you voting doctor are going to be surprised when it's actually "chopdoc surgeon here to augment your girls," instead...
>>29087881>>DoctorNeed them healthy
>>29087949YES. DO IT. YES
>>29087881 >>Dance Instructor
>>29087961CAR LESBIANS: IDOLS EDITIONGOGOGOGO
>>29087881>CounselorMore than a goddamn engineer that a robot can take care of, the girls need a human ear.
>>29087949Idols are more then just singing and/or dancing though, Anon.You could have Fast and Furious idol and F1 idol and and rally idol and NASCAR idol and that's totally legit.
>>29087949Don't you get it? That's their schtick! That's what separates them from other idols and idol groups. They can't sing, dance, or act for shit, but when you see our elaborate drifting stage shows combined with singing, it'll blow your fucking mind right outta your head.
>>29087991THE HYPEST GAMEPLAY ON /TG/
>>29087881>CounselorWell, this quest went to Hell quickly.
>>29087974fine too
>>29087991I DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED THIS UNTIL SOMEONE PUT THESE TWO IDEAS TOGETHER.

>>29088059I feel your pain.Especially when you realise they can't even get a full staff and THEN they want to buy CARS

>>29088059>Dec 26 2013>still being saneshiggy etc.
Okay, stopping here so I can count votes.
>>29088059I feel bad for suggesting the initial thought of the performances including gun fights and car chases. But... I didn't intend for it to explode like this. I just wanted to toss a good idea out there.
>>29088080we challenge other idol groups to races for their cars
>>29087881>>DoctorDo a SM vote Merc.
>>29088080>implying manufacturers won't be throwing cars at us due to publicity deals
>>29088023>1:50DA MOOVES
>>29088059What /tg/ does best is combining lunacy with practicality. Having fun without going overboard with it. We can have both a wheelman and a counselor. And a songwriter because god knows we're not doing that shit. We can teach the girls to dance ourselves. Our dancing will consist mostly of repurposed CQC moves
>>29088108>practicality>/tg/
>>29088097It is both a good idea and not one we're taking seriously. Those guys are just BADWRONGFUN fags.
>>29088122I mean, it could be kind of like a parade. We clear the route with city authorities ahead of time, get helicopters and shit filming it, and then we let 'em loose.
>>29088106AGGRESSIVE MASS TRANSFER
>>29088122>not one we're taking seriouslyDoesn't look like it from my perspective.
>>29088131No way in hell would we get cleared.Not that anyone would expect that to stop us.
>>29088084No, no--cars and girls is pushing the envelope as it is. What, you think there will be some insane producer that combines idols and tanks? That'll never sell! Idols und Panzer--ha! You'd have to be a madman to jump on that!
>>29088159IT KEEPS HAPPENING
In all honesty though, a wheelmaster is fine. Idols always needs to here or there on time. We could make use of his/her masteries on stage too. A stage show with motorbikes sounds awesome.
>>29088159Personally, I think Idols with planes might be the better seller. Although tanks could work, too, since we're inside AMERICA.
>Okay I'm just going to go off consensus here so Counselor, Songwriter, and Dance Instructor win out."Well, since we're an idol company, it seems like Songwriter and Dance Instructor are pretty much required. I also think we could use a Counselor. You know, teenage girls and all."Good choice." Jenner nods. "I'll make the arrangements to hire them. We'll just have to manage with automated machines or third parties for the other roles. Now we get to the meat of things... the idols themselves.""So, how do we do this, exactly?""Ideally, you want a 2:1 ration of combat idols to performance idols. Plus, since we're still starting up, I suggest recruiting no more than three idols for now.""So um, how do we get around to doing that?""We can use the online application service. There's countless requests. However, the problem is that system is controlled by the megacorps, so any promising candidates are guaranteed to be snapped up by the larger idol companies first.""What's our alternative, then?""Simple. We go bar hoping." Jenner then glances at you and sighs. "No, NOT like that. Delta City is a magnet for people wanting to try and make it big. There are a lot of wannabe singers and and actresses who come here trying to live the dream. I mean, there's no guarantees, but we might find a diamond in the rough.">Let's use the online system.>Let's do it the old fashioned way.>Other

>>29088121We've very practical, in a insane way. Cars and idols have a long history of cross promotion. Almost every idol group has a shtick of some kind. Drifting is that hard to do (a driving school in my area teaches it once a month to bored 16 year olds). Doesn't really matter now though.

>>29088306Why bars? We crawl through every dive in town, we'll end up with a lot of good singers and only a few that would be real idol material.What I think we should do is hold auditions like they do for those theater musicals--rent out some small theater, post up a few online ads and flyers, and let whoever trickles in trickle in. Yeah, we'll be getting all kinds--the burned out stars looking for their career's second wind, the fresh-faced teens straight off the bus from Nowhere, the kids pushed into it by their parents through some deluded pursuit of faded glories, the hobo or vagrant that stumbles in and actually turns out to be pretty damn good but can be groomed into something magical--but it widens our pool of available choices.

>>29088383>Why bars?We're about to be put in charge of 3-4 hormonal teenage girls. If you don't need a drink to deal that you're a stronger man that I. Finding an idol is just a nice bonus.
>>29088406I'm suspecting that the Detroit of old was knocked down and washed away after OCP had its way with the city--relocating all the vagrants and building a megalopolis where once was rampant chaos. Unless there's some mythical Old Detroit right under the city's nose, we'll only find skyscrapers and clean streets.
>>29088178"Let's do this the old fashioned way." You say. "What are our options?""Well, a number, actually." Jenner starts counting them off.

/tg/ i hope one evening, while you are walking on an empty street you come upon a box gift-wrapped nicely, wtih noone else in sight. You will of course, unable to resist this magnificent mystery, opt to rip open the box, which wasin fact a highly explosive bomb. You will die, only identifiable by the DNA all over the scene, taking with you the lives of hundreds. Police after through investigation, will judge that you were a suicide bomber. You will be forever damned by your own loved ones, your fellow citizens, in fact by decent people around the whole world.
>>29088619Hey, we'll be remember through the ages!Scooooore
>>29088462>>WILDCARD>>29088619At least we knew what was in the box.
>>29088462"Hmmm, maybe we can use a performer." You say. "I think I might know a place." Jenner says before gunning the engine. It was here you learned that Jenner wasn't driving fast and furious back then to get away from the fighting in the airport... it was how she always drove.One harrowing freeway drive later, and you're at what seems like an audition call for some kind of tv series or soap opera that you've never heard of. It's rather simple for you and Jenner to slip in and watch from the back. Now that you think of it, Jenner was the spitting image of a tv exec, which was probably why nobody bothered you.>roll 1d20

>>29088670All that really means is that the girl we find might need to be preened a bit before being idol material. Either that, or it'll be a girl we can skip on recruiting for better luck at our next locale.
>>29088647Most of the auditioners were, quite frankly, terrible. You're pretty sure that half of them forgot their lines, while the other half were too busy tripping over themselves on the stage. However, there were a few decent, if not good prospects.One in particular catches your attention. She's not exactly a stellar beauty, but she was fairly attractive in that modest sort of way and you were sure with some proper attention she'd be looking as fancy as any other idol. She also remembered most of her lines, and even ad libbed in a few more to make the dialogue smoother, which suggested she was pretty sharp, too."She'd make a good performance idol to center our lineup."

Seeing people voting yes or no to hire the girl entirely depending on the dice, maybe you should roll off-screen for girls merc? It would be more fun we hire them only knowing what we've seen about them.

>>29088740>nat 1This would be the sort of girl that you hope to God your wingman sweeps off her feet so you can get to her friends. She would have...a good personality, and that's really it.Either that, or a Tomoko--the complete antithesis to the Idol scene. Shut-in, absolutely unkempt, and social anxiety up the wazoo.

>>29088842>All these Y votes are just waifers waifing in the first place...Yeah, no.She's an all-rounder. Even if she doesn't make it as a center she could still be used as support. This is a good pick up.
>>29088847Yes, because "play the field a bit," is also synonymous with "never do anything."Jesus, bro, she still exists if we don't hire her right now.You can get her card/agent/etc information and make a move at a later date when the candidate pool is a little fuller.
>>29088831Look, I like a good "turn the frumpy girl into a total qt3.14" montage as much as the next guy, but what if it backfires on us? What if we keep pouring time and money into this girl and she just spills her spaghetti at every press conference?

>>29088723"Yeah, I think we can use her." You say."All right." The two of you wait for the audition to finish, and the both of you wait at the exit. The production staff and wannabe actresses begin filing out, and then you finally catch your target."Excuse me, Miss." You say, stepping forward. "May I have a moment of your time?""Y-yes?" The girl blinks, obviously a bit wary,"I'm the Producer for Clover Entertainment, and this woman here is my assistant Miss Jenner. And your name is...?""Rin.""Okay Rin, I'm not one for fancy words, so I'll be blunt about this." You say. "How would you like to be an idol?""W-what?" Rin blinks in surprise. "B-but I'm already auditioning-""You're not guaranteed to get in, and even then, I think your talent is wasted as an extra on a late night soap opera nobody watches." You say. "You'll be paid better, and guaranteed to be in our performances. What do you say?"Rin stops and thinks about for a few seconds before holding her hand out."Okay, it's a deal.">RIN SHIBUYA RECRUITEDYou hand her your company card and Rin scribbles down her contact information. With the trade done, Rin leaves with a respectful wave."Well, that's one down." You sigh. "So now we need combat idols?"(cont)
>>29088913"That's correct." Jenner nods. "Ideally, they have to be as good at singing and dancing as they are at shooting, because we have to have them on stage from time to time.""Yeah, okay. Options?""Well, we can try recruiting from hardcore military buffs, like girls who want to enlist but aren't old enough yet, or something. Either that or we trawl through the lower income neighborhoods where the girls won't be too afraid of getting in a fight.""How low income are we talking about here?" You ask."Well, we can just go through the slums... or the Tombs."You're not sure whether the weight Jenner puts behind the word "Tombs" should unnerve you or not."The Tombs?""Basically Old Detroit, the parts they couldn't demolish they literally built over.

>>29089366And, miraculously enough, nobody seems to bother you. Maybe it was the fact that you were driving around in a very new looking car, which gave the people down here the impression you weren't people to be messed with, or maybe they were just impressed with the sheer audacity, or maybe they just didn't give a shit. Either way, you were able to drive around relatively unmolested. However, that wasn't to say things were uneventful. You came across countless brawls, gunfights, and gang wars. Out of all this, you managed to pick out a few girls that caught your eye.>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.>A girl with a clearly augmetic arm and leg, and seemed to know how to use them, demolishing her opponents in what looks to be some sort of fighting ring.>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.
>>29089426Which is the Revy option, Merc?
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.
>>29089426>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.Oh, I like her.
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.BIG GIRLS
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.ITS TIME FOR THE BEATDOWN
>>29089426Where is revy Merc>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.This better not be Tarin.
>>29089432Presumably the hooded girl
>>29089426shit,did i just rolled a 20 on a stealth roll, instead of waifu acquisition roll? fffff
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.SWAT idol? Yes please.
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.JUSTICE!
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.This choice calls out to me.
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.Let the gods above give us revy.
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.I hope her name is Cruella.
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.SWAT idol, fuck yes.
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.Revy pls
>>29089426>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.Although SWAT girl would be fun too. It's a shame we can't have both.
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.I can't pick anything else after seeing that description.
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.Now i regret voting for the pointman.
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her.TIME FOR THE BEATDOOOOOOOOOWN!
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.I don't remember any art with Tarin in a hood, but this choice it calls to me
Damn you Merc, why must you make us choose!
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.Well she seems friendly.
>>29089426>>A girl with a clearly augmetic arm and leg, and seemed to know how to use them, demolishing her opponents in what looks to be some sort of fighting ring.CLEARLY THIS IS OUR REVY.AUGUMENTED.
>>29089489I don't really care where the choice goes just that it called out to me.one of those moments and all.
>>29089426>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.We must have fear!
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fear.I vote that we take all of our combat idols from the tomb, fuck the military nerds.
>>29089509Seconded.
>>29089426>>A girl with a clearly augmetic arm and leg, and seemed to know how to use them, demolishing her opponents in what looks to be some sort of fighting ring.This girl's not afraid to take a punch, nor is she afraid to give one. This might be a good bet.
>>29089426>>A girl wearing heavy SWAT armor, beating the crap out of any criminal unlucky enough to come across her
I feel like any votes after this point (and no small amount of the ones beforehand) are samefagging>>29089509Supporting this. Is both girls an option?
Aren't girls from the database, are not that great?
>>29089426>>A strange, hooded girl that all the other denizens of the Tombs seem to keep their distance from, not out of respect, but outright fea
>>29089541We could drop the pointman and just take the swat girl and hooded girl.I;m good with that choice.
>>29089509>>29089541>>29089557Seconded dropping the military nerd.
>>29089557I'd totally be in support for that
>>29089541Is this an actual thing? Reverse image search turns up nothing.
>>29089541ya hes right if we can just take 2 from here then ya drop that one military nerd and take the swat chick and hooded one
>>29089541No, I'd rather keep the nerd.
>>29089568Of course not, Japan can barely stand post-apocalyptic stuff.
>>29089557you haven't even soon the pointman yet.Seesh, so superficial. Then again this is what happens when you run a first thread during a bad time: you get morons.And a reminder: they'd have to do Idol things not just fight.
>>29089541Pretty happy with the nerd here. For God's sake, you people haven't even met her.
>>29089568Nope, they're just a photoshops. Sorry.
>>29089579So what idol things can a military nerd do then?
>>29089592Backing vocals
>>29089592So what idol things can a girl dragged up from a shithole do then?
>>29089596And a person from the tombs can't do that?Thats not really a convincing argument.
>>29089426"Hey, excuse me!" You call out to the girl donning a set of SWAT armor. That just wasn't something you saw every day. "Can I have a moment of your time?""Ah, just a second, citizen! Let just finish up with this criminal scum, here!" The girl says as she gives a man she's beating with a nightstick a good kick to the gut. "Damn pickpockets never learn their lesson! Anyways, what did you want to talk about?""I was wondering if you wanted to become an idol." You say bluntly."Huh." The girl scratches her head. "A ticket to the surface IS pretty tempting, but I got a job, upholding law and order and all.""But there's no officially recognized law enforcement entity down here." Jenner points out."Well, that's why I made my own! Membership, ME!" The girl grins. "Okay, how about we put it this way." You sigh. "The life of a poor innocent girl lies in your hands. How about that?""Well..." The SWAT girl cocks her head to the side. "I can't just turn down someone in need, can I?">JULIE D'AUBIGNY RECRUITED"Get in." You say.It's a bit difficult for Julie to fit in the backseat with all of that SWAT armor on, but eventually she finds a way to cram herself in."Dear god the cleaning bill is going to be atrocious." Jenner sighs."You know, I know the limit is three idols, but you think we can recruit one more?" The image of that hooded girl seemed to stick in your mind, piquing your curiosity."That's pretty dangerous. Our budget is extremely thin as it is." Jenner warns.>Let's go for it.>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.>Other
>>29089588Just give it up man
>>29089592Sing, dance, snipe a snooping paparazzo from 600 yards, a little bit of acting, innawoods survival, and attracting legions of fans--y'know, normal idol stuff.
>>29089592There'd be a better chance of teaching her/etc than someone who lives in a general hellhole.And if I remember right the data base cross referenced military interests and idol interests, suggesting the girls on the list have some ability. In contrast the trip to the tombs is an unknown.
>>29089603She has to be crafty and think on her feet to be able to survive from there, able to know when to quit and have to be confident in your self.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Well, we're already here--might as well try for it.
>>29089610>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Har har, implying we would be any other choice.
>>29089610>>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Pretty risky though I'd rather not hear certain people whine about this down the line, that and I want to see how this girl turns out.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it
>>29089610>Let's go for it.There's no reason not to.
>>29089603Suck Producer-san's dick
>>29089610>"Well, that's why I made my own! Membership, ME!" The girl grins.Best grill.>Let's go for it.
>>29089610>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.Merc will make us regret taking her you dipshits.Come back when we actually have money.>>29089641Are you illiterate?
>>29089648If nothing else, hoody will be fine sleeping on the floor and eating whatever crap we give her.
>>29089610How about we drop military nerd? and go for hooded girl
>>29089610>Let's go for it.
>>29089610>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.Oh great, my fellow voters are leftovers from Ghost Quest.Joy.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Might as well get her, since she said it was possible.
>>29089648whats the worst that can happen
>>29089610>Let's go for it.So lets drop military nerd then?
>>29089610>>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.>>29089694I can't wait until we get another Raikov incident.
Such samefaggingJust take the new girl and ignore the BADWRONGFUN idiot's spam.
>>29089610>Drop Military nerd and go for hooded girl so that way we don't go over budgetI don't trust the database
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Merc can you prove that she is not tarin so that you can get her haters to go?
>>29089610>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.>>29089705No, because not all of us agree dropping her for your edgy waifu.
>>29089610>Let's go for it. Drop the Military nerd
>>29089709Yet you trust some girl on the street of a known lawless zone? Just be honest and say you're superficial.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.>>OtherDrop military nerd.
>>29089610>Yeah, you're right. Let's not.>>29089715Merc already confirmed that.Surprisingly, there are other reasons not to take her, like budgetary concerns.And no, I don't want to drop the military nerd because some of you are butthurt about how that vote went.
>>29089708Yes, because we don't have reasons as to why we shouldn't pick. One of which Jenner just explained...
>>29089610>OtherDrop the Military nerd, go for hooded girl
>no book-cooker>let's stretch the budgetLet's not, I say.
>>29089731Your reasons are you don't like anyone to get their way but yourself.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.Its like you guys don't want revy.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.a ticket to the surface and a stable place to live&eat is more than enough of a paycheck until we earn some more
>>29089610>Let's go for itI'd like to think that the girl from the tomb would be low maintenance enough to not break the budget, then again would just as likely rob you blind
>>29089610"Still, I think it's worth it track her down." You say."Well, you're the producer." Jenner sighs.Unfortunately, the hooded girl seemed to have run off while you were talking to Julie.>Try and track her down.>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.>Other
>>29089763>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.
>>29089763>>Try and track her down.
>>29089754I like her, but I'm not willing to sink to these guy's level and spam for her.>>29089763>Try and track her down.
>>29089610>>Let's go for it.We can pay cheap or if anything drop military girl
>>29089763>Try and track her down.Ain't that just a bad filler post, unless Merc plans to get us into trouble again.
>>29089763>>Try and track her down.Now your just being cruel.
>>29089763>>Try and track her down
>>29089763>>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.
>>29089763>Try and track her down.
>>29089780I'd call it a very clever way to figure out which side was spaming....
>>29089763>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.This will not end well.
>>29089778I think its a dont push your luck.Remember! Don't do silly things!Like wander about aimlessly in the TOMBS
>>29089763>>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.It's almost as if this place is named the Tombs for a reason.
>>29089763>>Let's not push our luck. Get out while we still can.We wander about in here, we'll be in trouble.
>>29089763>>Try and track her down.>>29089818We are ex-military and have a girl in full swat armour.
>>29089818Unless you are ex-SF with self-proclaimed law reinforcement girl, who's not afraid of beating the living crap out of scum.
>>29089763"Let's drive around a bit more. Maybe we can find her again." You say."Okay, but the first sign of trouble and I'm out of here." Jenner grumbles.>roll 1d20
Rolled 5>>29089847
Rolled 19>>29089847YAY NAT 1idiots
Rolled 16>>29089847
Rolled 7>>29089847
Rolled 12>>29089858lol not quite a 1.
Rolled 6>>29089847>>29089858the irony is delicious.
>>29089858I love you anon
>>29089858its not like i like you Anon..BAKA!
>>29089858Thanks anon for letting these fucks find Tarin.
>>29089916>inb4 it's not Tarin, just Merc trolling the shit out of us.
>>29089916You know if it is tarin nothing less than 20 will let you find her.
that's what you get for encouraging them, merc
>>29089858Fortunately, you don't seem to run into any trouble, that is, until you get a little bit further into the tombs. There, you see a rather large group of thugs, all armed with various weapons. And they were all surrounding that hooded girl you saw earlier."Oh no..." Julie's eyes widen. "I think we should get out of here...""Huh? I thought you weren't afraid to throw down with 'criminal scum.'" You say."It's not that..." Julie gulps."GET THE FREAK!" One of the thugs yells and throws a cinderblock at the hooded girl, who manages to dodge it. The rest of the thugs start throwing improvised projectiles at her and slowly close in, weapons drawn."Goddamn humans." You hear the hooded girl spit."We REALLY should be going!" Julie says anxiously.Suddenly, there's a bright, blinding flash of light which sends the thugs scattering in all directions. Well, the lucky ones, at least.The girl's hood had fallen down, revealing crazed, almost feral eyes and grin as her hands crackle with electricity. "I GUESS ALL OF YOU WANT TO DIE TODAY, HUH?!" She cackles.>And that's it for tonight! Next thread will probably be Saturday night while PJ Witches will be on Friday night! And wow, I never expected this thread to get the amount of responses it did!
>>29089937Huh.So the 19 WAS a nat 1.
>>29089937Fuck yeah she has super powers.
>>29089937ROLL FOR PERILS OF THE WARP
>>29089937We got a complete psycho, fucking great.I hate you all.
Be careful of what you look for, you just might find it.
>>29089937fuck yeah jackpotlets get rid of the military nerd, this bitch can have her spot
>>29089937oh its the fucking psycho bitch that made me drop stalker: ghosts of fukushima: the anime
Not sure if we should get too vested into the idolsas far as we know, the idols are not for romancing. Just something to keep in mind.>>29089953So that's where Ghost's girlfriend went.
>>29089953stop bitching and enjoy the story man. so shit dident go how you wanted it to deal with it.
>>29089937>So we got a shy girl, a SWAT girl, versus a STALKER with lightning powers. Great.
>>29089957Buddy, I can't disagree more.
>>29089957Hell no.That thing is a WMD, not a team player.You can use that, you just point it in a direction and let it loose.
>>29089957>>29089973At least wait until we meet her before deciding something.
>>29089937This will solve our electric bill. her powers could be use other then idoling if anything
>>29089984We met her, I'm not particularly encouraged.
>>29089992Not really as Jenner only mentioned having her come up sometime but never any face to face meeting or introduction.
>>29089937Thanks merc.So far my favorite character is Jerner. Yours?
>>29089999We're seeing her absolutely go fucking nuts, complete with feral eyes and all, I don't want to touch that girl with a ten foot pole.
>>29090023Though maybe not idol material her powers will be very useful
>>29090023Well there was a gang of guys trying to kill her and she assumes we are part of said gang.It makes me wonder how she would have acted if we went to her first.swat would have ran away or attacked us head on if we went back for her.
><MercCommand> "You're going after the person everybody is scared the fuck out of."><MercCommand> "How can she NOT be a total psycho?"I think we should hoof it next session
>>29090023well she is being ganged up on by a large group. and she has the means to deal with them. she could be the nicest person ever when shes not threatened? so why dont we wait till we know more about her before starting to bitch about it?
>>29089992If nothing else, we certainly know she can take care of herself.
>>29090034>>29090039If she wasn't acting like a complete psychopath in the process I'd see where you're coming from.She's still barge pole material from my perspective though.
>>29090023I was referring to the military nerd from the data base, which we haven't met yet but some people insist on dropping in comparison to crazy pysker girl and sort of kooky swat girl.
>>29090044>The girl's hood had fallen down, revealing crazed, almost feral eyes and grin as her hands crackle with electricity.>"I GUESS ALL OF YOU WANT TO DIE TODAY, HUH?!" She cackles.Yeah, she's a paragon alright.
>>29090043Lets try diplomacy first.
>>29090043Makes it all the more fun. I=Unless we suffer from the PJ attack in which we get almost killed but she has interesting powers that may be useful
>>29090043She stays the fuck away from my Rin
>>29090044>>29090043Oh yeah, totally a nice girl under that exterior.Honestly, you people are so fucking stupid I wonder how you lot can breathe.
>>29090065Why are you raging anon? We haven't done anything yet?
>>29090056>Psycho>DiplomancyI dont see that working out very well.
>>29090065and i wonder if you can go a day without insulting people to try and make your self seem above any of the other shit that frequents 4chan.
>>29090043internet relay circlejerk pls go and stay go
>>29090072I'm pissed off that we decided to go after a feared figure for extremely dubious reasons, then insist on going after when it's revealed that she would be a total liability to us.Quirky is fine, I like SWAT girl, psychopath is going war too far though.
>>29090075Eh my form of diplomacy includes screaming that we will bring her to the surface and give her food.
>>29090087I can see a lot better ways we can spend our money instead of a complete nutjob.
>>29090082Fear is a good thing if used properly though. Next session is going to be important to see if we can get this girl to come to our side. Her powers seem useful. Quirky girl for some reason reminds me of Justice girl from Akame Ga Kiru or Emiya Shirou, not sure on her yet
>>29090093We hired a councilor might as well get use out of them.
>>29090065It must be hard for you to breath with the weight of all that elitism on your shoulders
>>29090093we're in a city where warfare between IDOLS is commonplace, if you cannot see how good having this psycho on our side is then your retarded
>>29090100Fear is not a good thing when we're supposed to attract people and not scare the shit out of them.Plus the fact that I doubt a nutbar like her would work well with others. I'm honestly afraid she'll scare away other potential candidates or even attempt to murder them for god knows why.
>>29090113Here's a hint, there are better options for combat idols than a girl that is just as likely to electrocute your own side as well as the enemy.
>>29090115Well it looks like she is based on a certain character.
all that I can say upon finding this out is that I'm satisfied about what I learned.... and that it would be for the best to turn around and go barring some revelation to change my mind.
>>29090121Well stop assuming and see when the thread is up on Saturday.
>>29090123This is not helping my confidence in her.
Let's just try to talk to her first if she tries to kill us deals off but if we negotiate or come to a deal then all is good.Besides she was being attacked, I'll hold my judgement of calling her crazy till after our diplomacy
to calm all you cunts who are sperging out over the psychoshes currently fighting a gang of people, we are watching, it wasn't that clearly written, but we ain't involved yet, and she hasnt noticed us, also, we havent gotten out of the car yet, and we can NOPE the fuck out of here if we need toTLDR, calm your shit niggers
>>29090130We've got it confirmed that she's a psychopath.Not being safe to be around is less of an assumption and more of a logical conclusion on my part.>>29090137Merc confirmed she was nuts on the IRC, and the actual update made it pretty clear that she has a few tools short in the toolbox.
>>29090134>>29090123So who is she?She looks like Ibara Naruse.
>>29090148>Merc confirmed she was nuts on the IRC, and the actual update made it pretty clear that she has a few tools short in the toolbox.And?She didn't suddenly become the goddamn BBEG because she ain't all there in the headfor fucks sake, harden the fuck up you pussies
>>29089937I don't really want to deal with this psycho but i have a feeling that if we do not take her in, she'll come into the picture as an enemy of sorts so i say we take her. Better be on the same side with crazy witch than be against her.Thanks for the run merc. So far so good, hope this goes on well, i wanted a decent idolm@ster quest for a while now.
>>29090145I'm less concerned that she's going to attack us and more that people are still going to try and recruit her despite the current situation.Madness I say, MADNESS!
>>29090148>Merc confirmed she was nuts on the IRCIf you couldnt gleam that she was nuts when we first had the choice to pick the girl in the hoodie that EVERYONE WAS AVOIDING OUT OF FEAR, and take the fact she is meant to be scary to mean we shouldnt even approach her about a job makes you a fucking idiot
>>29090148Still I think it's a good idea to try and be diplomatic (After her fight). We already have a councilor and she has potential for things other then being an idol. I just want to extend the olive branch before looking for other prospects
>>29090159She's a murderous psychopath with superpowers, totally not a threat.She may not be the BBEG, but I don't want her on the team.
>>29090167why shouldnt we recruit her after the fight?she kills them all, we start clapping and say "Lady, I would like to offer you a job"
>>29090154reverse image search came up with coppelion, so you are probably right.
>>29090172It's almost as if I voted against her when that choice was brought up wasn't it?
>>29090178Why the fuck did we get a councilor then if we are not gonna use them?
>>29090178so you'd rather someone else who has the balls you lack to recruit her into an opposing team?
>>29090072>>29090072Some people seem to get absolutely furious when things don’t go exactly ask they hoped. Its like they consider it losing or something.
>>29090148Your very presence in the thread is more of a danger to the health of the quest, as opposed to people making decisions to meet with lightning chick.You are fucking up the entire thread because you keep trying to take your pseudo-insider bullshit metaknowledge, and steer the thread in the direction that you want.If you want to control a quest so fucking badly, WRITE ONE YOURSELF.
>>29090154I thought she was Misaka Mikoto.Not my favorite character to be honest but her powers seem useful.
>>29090184Because she's a psychopath is a danger to us and everyone else in the company.
>>29090172>Everyone avoids girl in hoodie because they are afraid, in a dog eat dog worlddoesn't necessarily mean she is crazy. one thing it says for definite is that she is strong. she could be the bad-ass trype for example.
>>29090190and you got outvoted, so shut the fuck up and deal with it
>>29090196Yeah, I'm personally satified that I found out about her, though I can't say I'm exactly eager to actuallly recruit her as she'd require the most work out of all the girls.
>>29090203or you could take that tampon our of your pussy and we could recruit her, pay her and give her plenty of targets to kill and make her our best friend
>>29090191I'm pretty sure counselors aren't normally equipped to deal with superpowered loons.>>29090192Sure, she can be their problem then.>>29090198Oh don't worry, Merc's confirmation was just that, a confirmation that this girl is batshit insane from what I saw of her in the actual update.
>>29090219Or we could just go to someone that is less of a hazard to our immediate health and more likely to cooperate.
Iudging by the fighting, I'm looking forward to the next thread.Let's just see what happens.
>>29090233I'm honestly hoping we recruit her, if only to piss off the faggots being insufferable cunts and make them leave the quest.I mean, fuck, I originally voted against finding her, but after their bitching and moaning, I'm voting for her now.
>>29090249Though I understand your reasoning, I think the way it was worded will likely antagonize others and will literally pour oil to this confrontation.
>>29090249Now say the same things, but only changing sides. And understand both sides are wrong or both sides are right, but more importantly both sides are huge faggots.
>>29090265oh I totally understand, not going to stop me voting for her though
>>29090249Alright, alright. I'll bow out. For what it's worth, I'm sorry to have started this shitstorm, and the insults. I'm just seriously concerned about how much of a threat this girl is going to pose to everyone else should be recruit her. I'm not trying to be a dick, though it seems I failed miserably on that.
>>29090276You should probably be seriously concerned about your own mental condition if you get seriously concerned over a quest thread that you start shitstorms like this.
>>29090265it is true.>I'm honestly hoping we don't recruit her, if only to piss off the faggots being insufferable cunts and make them leave the quest.>I mean, fuck, I originally voted for finding her, but after their bitching and moaning, I'm voting against her now.
>>29090289I'm more concerned that I'm apparently being enough of an insufferable cock to make people switch sides.
>>29090273It's going to turn out the lightning psycho is actually going to be The Sweetest Little Cutie in the entire company, and errythang gonna be alright
You know I was interested in this quest because idols but it turns out Merc is just running yet another generic animu combat quest.Dropped.
>>29090450You're the guy who dropped PJ, arent ye.
>>29090546No? I'm not exactly in love with that either, but it's still better than this is looking to be.
