Apologies for the lateness today, but it's just been a hectic saturday!Twitter: https://twitter.com/MercCommandArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Cyberpunk%20Idol%20Management%20QuestPast Quests:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Valkyrian%20Mercs%20Questhttp://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Pararescue%20WitchesROSTER AND STATS: http://pastebin.com/EVFs0sHwFACILITIES: http://pastebin.com/5Fk5p19YYou are the PRODUCER, a former soldier hired to manage a group of teenage girls on their rise to stardom, assuming they don't get killed in the process!You narrow your eyes as you try to get your handle on this Ushiyama character. He was definitely foreign, though you couldn't quite place where his accent came from, and he definitely didn't give a fuck what other people thought of him. However, all you were concerned about was whether he had what it took to train your idols."Alright, what's your work experience?" You ask the most important and obvious question.Ushiyama crosses his arms and sighs. "Over the past ten years I have worked as a trainer for many entertainment companies. Five Star, Pink Wand, Firecracker, and more. My resume should have told you that.""And from what I'm seeing, at least half the companies you worked at don't even exist any more." You point out."Even the best dancers can't make up for poor management." Ushiyama shrugs. "Look up past performances while I was training them and you'll see.""Okay." You'll give him the benefit of the doubt here. Not like you had many alternatives, anyways.>Anything else you might want to ask him?
>>29450536"Ummm, any particular reason you're wearing womens clothing?"
>>29450536How do you deal with idols some are fairly new to the business do you have any reference from past idols?
>>29450536No, nothing else in particular.>>29450593Different strokes for different folks I guess.
>>29450536"How much experience do you have with training combat idols to be at least passable when compared to regular idols? All of ours at least have good voices, and they're well-coordinated."
I can't think of anything but on a side note, I can't help but see Lilith as an Haku that got over her issues.
>>29450536What sort of training regiment do you plan on?
>>29450736I can only guess what she did that caused her to retire from idoling, but aside from a certain bunnygirl image posted earlier this week I think I may have a good guess.
>>29450791Hard to say, but A) well I'd imagine Lilith filling things out nicely and B) That's a pretty nice Haku artist, good at making her huggable in both ways.I'd think she just got tired of the whole thing and decided to help others that were in her position.
>>29450536"So, what sort of training regimen do you use?" You ask."If you're implying that I hold hands and go easy on my students, then the answer is a definite 'no.'" Ushiyama huffs. "Dancing is not merely a skill to be learned, but an ART to master. You idols will be trained and will be trained HARD, regardless of what they think they know about dancing. You are all right with this?">I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.>These girls aren't every experienced yet. Can't you go a little bit easy on them?>Other
>>29450893>>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.Ride 'em like a pony.You sure eat at buffets a lot don't you Merc?
Haku is often portrayed as an alcoholic. Also ZENBU when?
>>29450893>>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.
>>29450893>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.Just note to him that they'll have 'other' training as well beyond the dancing and singing.
>>29450893>>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.There are times for hard work and times to relax.
>>29450955>Just note to him that they'll have 'other' training as well beyond the dancing and singing.Something tells me he's not going to take this well.
>>29450893>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.Prepare for at least one of them (probably Cole) throwing a shitfit over the dance instructor being a hardass. It'll be worth it in the long run though.
>>29450893>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.
>>29450955>>29450975Trust me, he knows what's up.
>>29450893>These girls aren't every experienced yet. Can't you go a little bit easy on them?Gradually work them up. You don't get skill overnight.
>>29450893Warn him that Cole will probably try to electrocute him, but other than that sticking point we agree with his philosophy.
>>29450975And I say tough shit.>>29450994Hopefully he does, but we don't know this IC. Sure we can guess it but this is more of confirmation for as players just how much they've been told.
>>29450893>>These girls aren't every experienced yet. Can't you go a little bit easy on them?baby steps people, baby steps
>>29451042>for as players>for us as playersWords. Where do you go...
>>29450893>>These girls aren't every experienced yet. Can't you go a little bit easy on them?Going full bore for the start on Cole and Julie will likely prove to be probmatic as they'er not even used to it.
>>29450893>I agree. The girls right now need all the help they can get.we don't have a drop dead date here, but the sooner these girls can dance well, the better.
>>29451128Exactly, the earlier we get them acclimated to this as "normal," the easier the transition will be.They're already used to fighting for their survival in the Thunderdome, why let them get lazy? Their lives are on the line.
>>29451010Not unless we do an extended montage sequence set to 80's rock!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU9Uwhjlog8
>>29450893"I agree, I don't think baby steps will help here." You nod. "But I have to warn you, most of them have zero dancing experience.""No matter." Ushiyama gives a predatory grin. "That means there's less garbage in their heads to get rid of so I can start molding their styles how I see fit.""And, I also have to warn you about Cole." You sigh. "She can shoot lightning, and she has a rather foul attitude, so she may not take well to being pushed.""You make it sound like I haven't dealt with stubborn idols before." Ushiyama narrows his eyes. "I have also trained my share of... 'unusual' individuals. You have nothing to worry about.""Okay..." You say, a bit uncertain. But at least he sounded sure of what he was doing.>Talk to David>Talk to the Boss>Talk to Jenner>Other
>>29451289>>Talk to DavidLet's see what he's like.Also with Lilith here I think Jenner has quite some competition.
>>29451289>>Talk to David
>>29451289>>Talk to DavidTime to finish the job interview.
>>29451289>Talk to David
>>29451289>>Talk to the BossDon't we still need to talk to him about if he can get us guns and gear if we don't take up the gun shop owner on his sponsorship deal?
>>29451289>Talk to David>>29451329Honestly I'm not a fan of either.
>>29451434Police Brutality-chan is the only girl for me.
>>29451496can't waifu idols you know, and the job is to make them successful, not retire knocked up.
>>29451496I'd be all for her or Cole if they weren't young enough to be our daughters
>>29451544You can totally waif the shit outta idols. Look at P-San in the Idolmaster games.Hook, line, and sinker, baby.
>>29451289>Talk to DavidLet's see about the third new member of our staff.
>>29451587This is not the same as some idol master doujin.
>>29451587>It doesn't feel right to waifu them though, I feel a little dirty
>>29451289"And you're... David, right?" You ask, turning to your newly hired songwriter."That's correct." David bows his head politely.You take the chance to get a good look at his features. He's rather tall, but also rather pale and gaunt, as if he hasn't really been outside all that much. However, you can't shake the feeling that he was impossibly intelligent, both from the surety in his soft spoken voice and the intensity in his eyes. This was a man who was pretty dangerous in his own way."So what is your work experience?" You ask."I initially majored in Linguistics in Delta City Academy and worked as a data analyst for Weyland Yutani for three years before leaving to start songwriting." David says. "I have mastered seven languages and have had a hand in composing hundreds of songs.""That's... rather impressive." You nod.>Is there anything else you want to ask him?
>>29451544>>29451550>>29451587Needs more Jenner or not!Haku
>>29451691So why did you choose Clover Entertainment?
>>29451691Why our company, your credentials seem like you can apply to more higher places
>>29451730INDEED(in Lilith's case)
>>29451730Needs more Bunnygirl>>29450791
>>29451736second this
>>29451691Shoot him in the head and throw his body into the incinerator.Find a different songwriter.
>>29451691He's a robot, isn't he? A dickass robot that's gonna fuck us over to for Weyland Yutani's profit.
>>29451691"You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise, David. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, David. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, David?"
Hey now guys, let's not assume everything on their basis, though it sounds like David has a worrying one.
>>29451840>>29451691Do this.
>>29451736>>29451738These.Also, I'm a bit sad that I missed the thread where we chose what to make P-san sing. I think this would've been fun:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDIsGyapXq0
>>29451691>>Is there anything else you want to ask him?"How were you to leave WY? I was under the impression they don't let go of talented employees that easily."
>>29451691"Hm, with credentials like that, you could probably get a job anywhere you wanted." You frown."Well, not really." David laughs lightly. "Data analyst is pretty much an entry level position, which is why I left in the first place. I couldn't handle crunching numbers all day. As for my linguistic and songwriting talents, well, most people these days are turning to AIs for those duties, which leaves humans like me in a bit of a tight spot."You're actually half wondering if David himself was some sort of cyborg or robot. Just the way he looked and moved...>Nah, just leave it.>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?>Other
>>29452027>>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?
>>29452027>>Nah, just leave it.Let's respect his past. It's not like the MC wants people poking into his.
>>29452027>>OtherDo you have any augments? It's a basic security protocol.
>>29452027>Nah, just leave it.Nah, just leave it alone...
>>29452027>>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?Might actually be in the file.
>>29452027>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?"Not that it matters regardless...I still have some of my augs from my military days"Try to make him comfy answering truthfully
>>29452027>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?Blade runner references optional, but encouraged.
>>29452027>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?
>>29452060this post has a point. in fact we should ask all of our applacants this. it very well might be important.
>>29452027>>Nah, just leave it.
>>29452027>>You don't happen to be a cyborg, are you...?We might as well be upfront about it--not that we have apprehensions about working with cyborgs when we have augs ourselves.
>>29452027>Nah, just leave it.It's probably fine. Ex Wey-Yu employees tend to be trustworthy and upstanding people and definitely not evil robots or insane secret xenomorph cultists. Yeah, definitely.
>>29452060Maybe I should also mention,"And what is their level of security?"
>>29451840>>29451736Second,
>>29452116Why would it be important that the rest of our staff has augs? Besides Jenner, I don't see how augs could help them with their day-to-day activities.
>>29451964http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iol0B-clFFMI contend with this, sung to all the idols and Jenner in equal measures. Extra serving of ham.
>>29452264hah! We're going to have to save stuff like this for later, because the mental image of our ever-so-serious P-san breaking out the ham like that is amazing
So what do you think Producer looks like?I imagine Producer looking like a mix of Adam Jensen and Charles Ofdensen.I chose the latter mostly because of how similar his musical abilities were compared to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGqD5a99wv4
>>29452264>>29451964Not HAMBAGAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYNiXVgbyQk
>>29452369
>>29452369Also sometimes his head is a giant yellow P during comedy shorts.
>>29452369See>>29450769
>>29452378Honestly, with Cole's discovered love of fast food, I can see her singing that
>>29452027"You know, you don't happen to be a cyborg, are you?" You ask. "Nothing personal. I got a few augs myself and I'm just curious.""Full cyborg, in fact." David smiles, though it's not exactly a happy one. "I was born with a rather debilitating bone disease and the doctors gave me a choice. Live the rest of my life in an iso-pod or become a test subject for one of Weyland Yutani's latest cyborg models. As you can see, things have turned out... relatively well for me.""I see." You nod, reminding yourself to get Jenner to follow up on that story. "Well, it's good to have you on board, David.">Ask David something else.>Talk to the Boss>Talk to Jenner.>Other
>>29452378>red white and blue everythings>rollerskates>waitress uniformsI don't know whether to be impressed or insulted.
>>29452439Give everyone one more "Welcome to the company!" huzzah, then go>Talk to Jenner
>>29452439>>Talk to the BossTime to find out about our munitions supplier.
>>29452439>>Talk to the BossI believe we have business to discuss, mainly, the weapons spondorship
>>29452369>>29452394>>29452407>>29452416For me its either this or>>29452439>>Talk to Jenner.
>>29452439>>Talk to Jenner.
>>29452439No shit, he's an actual cyborg.When do we administer the Bladerunner test? You know...just in case.>So, uh, what's it like being a cyborg? I read once it was like being cold and never being able to warm up.
>>29452394this but younger also cyborg ninja when?
>>29452439Make a note to kill him later
>>29452439>Talk to the BossAs others have stated, we need to go discuss the weapons sponsorship or if it's really needed...
>>29452407I also think of him like this
>>29452454I think this is basically how I see him, but he open carries his sidearm in a chest holster under his jacket and tie.Maybe an under-arm, but I think P-San's more of a chest holster guy.
>>29452439>Talk to the BossWe need to see what he says about that weapons deal.
>>29452516I think a better question is should we get a dog anytime soon to hang around the building?
>>29452533we're a former spec ops soldier, whenever we enter a room, we for a plan on how to kill everyone on it
>>29452479This
>>29452576Even our Daughters?
>>29452542Well yeah, there is only one Producer after all. He is eternal, and exists to produce all the idols. Even producers that aren't Producer are actually just Producer in disguise.Like Dethklok manager guy? That's P-san about a decade after the hell that was Chihaya route. Think about it.
>>29452601Even Cole. She dies first. She has to die first.
>>29452576Yeah I get that but we actually need to carry said plan out this time
>>29452601plan is disable them with hugs
>>29452613Hahahaha, goddamnit. That's what happens when Chihaya Spiral.
>>29452573yes a robot dog would be bad ass
>>29452622Why? Just because he's a cyborg? If that's the case you can fuck off. If you ever get a real reason then bring it to the table, not before.
>>29452439Talk to the boss re: Weapons Sponsorship
>>29452627Quickly, execute plan hotel!
>>29452495That's for Replicants(Bioroids) not Cyborgs.
>>29452798C'mon. Tell me you're not just a little bit interested anyways. Besides, I want P-San to talk about the turtle to Dave.Why aren't you helping, Dave?
>>29452850Yeah, nah, stop that.
>>29452369I've been picturing him as an older Ogawa with eyes like the Illusive Man.
>>29452678>>29452668>>29452573>>29452798no.. nope, nah, we don't need cyborg dogs, guard dogs, or anything like that in the building. we need Puchis of our idols.
>>29452884WAIT A DAMN MINUTE, GET WEYLAND-YUTANI ON THE PHONE, WE'VE GOT A NEW PROJECT FOR THEM.
>>29452884a what?
>>29452884Do you seriously want a Puchi of Cole?
>>29452884>we need Puchis of our idols.That cannot be allowed under the Geneva Conventions.
>>29452925>Shortly after receiving our shipment of Weyland-Yutani brand Puchi-Idols, things went horribly wrong
>>29452941useful for bug extermination
>>29452850>I want P-San to talk about the turtle to DaveCare explaining the turtle stuff to me?
>>29452439"Well, I won't waste any more of your time." You say, shaking David's hand. "By the way, what are your feelings about tortoises?""I... don't think I understand the question." David frowns."Heh, just an old joke from my army days. Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime." You laugh lightly.As you walk away, you sigh. Full cyborgs were always... touchy to deal with. Even tougher were the ones who got cyborged young, because that hampered their biological aging in very subtle but major ways. Shit, David probably never has, and never will, experience puberty. Pretty tragic, in some respects. "Come on, Jenner, I need to see the Boss." You say, walking past her."Ah, Producer! What brings you here today?" The Boss asks cheerfully as you enter his office.(cont)
>>29452934Puchi.Don't question it ever.
>>29452941Logical side says no, imaginition side says hell yes
>>29452941Still less horrifying than Harukasan.
>>29452956http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiuAI-GuOOc
>>29452974"Hey, Boss, I was actually here to ask about or equipment situation." You say. "We received a sponsorship offer from Marc's Military Surplus, and I was wondering if there were any alternatives or anything. I mean, you managed to procure a Harbinger, so I thought you might know a supplier? What's our weaponry situation anyways?""Oh dear." The Boss sighs. "Well, our armory only has tactical vests, basic sidearms, and nighsticks at the moment. As for my own supplier, well, he usually only deals in... exotic goods. He's not exactly a gunrunner or anything like that.""So, what should I do about Marc, then?" You ask."Well, I know of Marc somewhat. He's reliable in that he won't sell you defective product. However, I'm sure you know that he's ultimately a businessman first and anything else second. He'll sell to anybody willing to buy, and he'll sell clients out in a heartbeat if he thinks he can profit from it.""And how do I prevent that?""Well, you keep buying his wares, of course." The Boss laughs. "Whatever he may be, Marc likes repeat customers. As long as you push your weapon needs through him, he'll have little incentive to backstab you.""Well, part of the deal is that we get a bunch of M4s for free." You say. "But, they're a bit outdated.""Well, I'm sure I can trade them to my friend for something special." The Boss grins. "He has a bit of a weakness for antique firearms.">Get Marc's sponsorhip.>Reject Marc's sponsorship.>Other
>>29452956It's been a while since I've read the book, and I never actually finished the movie, so the information I'm about to present could (probably) be wrong.Anyways, with the disclaimer. Replicants are fake-people and they're basically 100% perfect, undetectable clones. They're also very naughty, because they have a complete lack of empathy. The turtle is part of a larger series of tests that people (like Harrison Ford in Blade Runner) perform to test if people are replicants.They look for (the lack of) empathy with the turtle, and other things in other situations.
>>29452993>>Get Marc's sponsorhip.

>>29453590As you browse, you don't see anything too interesting. And of course, pretty much any and all news pertaining to Delta City mostly focuses on the megacorps.>While violent crime in general seems to be on the decline, there's been a sharp increase in organized terror attacks. OCP is considering expanding the powers and capabilities of the Delta City Police Department in order to deal with the threat.>With many of the current top idols getting older, a mass retirement of idols is imminent, meaning corps of all types and sizes are scrambling to find promising newcomers to make up for the inevitable loss.>Tensions between Cyberdyne and Umbrella Corp are at an all time high with Umbrella's announcement that it has found a cost-effective method to produce biomods (biological modifications), which will directly compete with Cyberdyne's domination of cybernetic augmentations.Well, the news was fairly helpful. The second story was especially interesting, seeing as how it coincided with the founding of Clover. You suspect that the timing was by design rather than coincidence, considering how cunning the Boss seemed to be."Okay, here's our scheduling program." Jenner says as she activates her screen. "Basically, the scheduler handles things on a month by month basis. You'll have to determine what your idols should spend their time on and for how long.""And how does that work?""Just plug in what you want them to do, and the program will try to arrange a schedule." Jenner explains. "For example, if you want an idol to just focus on dance training, you just enter that one activity. However, if you enter more, it'll add those in too. Just be warned that the more you try to cram, the less they'll actually learn.""Yeah, I get it." You nod.(cont)

People.... Why are you putting are center into combat training. This is not her job...
>>29453954Divide activities as:Rin:>Singing Practice>Dance TrainingRochelle:>Singing Practice>Weapons TrainingJulie:>Dance Training>Weapons TrainingCole:>Dance Training>Close Combat Training
Rolled 12>>29453954Rin:Dance+SingingRin is fairly straight forward, she concentrates on being the idol so dancing+singing.Julie:Firearms+DancingJulie needs dancing lessons since she has none, yet. She can help be in visuals section by dancing with cole at this time.Rochelle:Firearms+SingingRochelle will be our tactical ground commander so firearms is good as she'll be the rear to our two front heavy hitters. She gets singing as shes our other idol with both ranks in dancing and singing so she accompany Rin in vocals.Cole:Firearms+DancingCole needs alot of work. So Firearms for starters, she needs to know how to use guns and dancing. Her Agility should prove useful and we can work on her singing afterwards.I say we don't overstretch our girls and give them two main training items. 3 will be excessive.
>>29453954>Singing Practice (All idols)>Close Combat Training (Julie)>Weapons Training(Rochelle)>Rin and Cole(Singing)
>>29454085>are>ourWhatever. You get the damn point.
>>29453954Dancing for EVERYONE so we can at least put them all on stage together, then:Rin: SingingRochelle: WeaponsJulie: Close CombatCole: Singing (Lightning makes up for lack of actual weapons/martial arts training to a large degree, we can work on those later)
>>29454085No, her job is to perform and stay alive, depending on the day.You stay alive by knowing how to defend yourself. Besides, it'll build stamina too.
>>29453923>While violent crime in general seems to be on the decline, there's been a sharp increase in organized terror attacks. OCP is considering expanding the powers and capabilities of the Delta City Police Department in order to deal with the threat.Organized terrorism rising, but violent crime falling? Something fishy about this. Terrorism causes chaos, doesn't stop it. Must investigate further.>With many of the current top idols getting older, a mass retirement of idols is imminent, meaning corps of all types and sizes are scrambling to find promising newcomers to make up for the inevitable loss.Good, good.>Tensions between Cyberdyne and Umbrella Corp are at an all time high with Umbrella's announcement that it has found a cost-effective method to produce biomods (biological modifications), which will directly compete with Cyberdyne's domination of cybernetic augmentations.Possible explanation for Cole? Also danger of infectious gene mods. Must look into countermeasures.
>>29454098I agree on everything except we should have Cole do close quarters combat rather than firearms. That way she can always be combat ready.
>>29454143Maybe the terrorists are muscling out the petty gangs and such that usually commit the random acts of violent crime
>>29454115The job to keep her alive is up to the other three, you know the people we went and got to do that. And you do realize dancing will do that also, right?

>>29454145I still support the idea that we train her how to use a crossbow.
>>29454115Between the other girls (who were all hired at least in part for their combat potential) and us, I think she'll be fine for now. We need to focus on establishing her as an actual idol. She's our performance powerhouse, we'll need her in top form so we can get a running start on the actual idol bit of this whole idol business.
>>29454185I still support the idea that your a deluded moron for suggesting that
>>29454197That's why dance and vocal classes.The martial arts/whatever is "oh shit..." and the like cases/situations.It's called protecting your investment.
>>29454185Yeah, just shut up.
Rolled 11>>29454145Thing is she already has melee 1, firearms training is abit more important at this level.
>>29453954Okay, so the consensus here seems to be pretty much everybody focusing on singing, with the secondary classes being:Rin: DancingRochelle: WeaponsJulie: WeaponsCole: Close CombatAcceptable?
>>29454185Same here. It's just we're kind of strapped for time and cash, and we don't have any major enemies that know she's weak to water yet.Let's get everyone what they need the most right now, and then dabble once we have the resources and time.
>>29454219That's fine by me.
>>29454219Alright, that sounds good.
>>29454219Sure thing.
>>29454219Sure
>>29454219er...you mean dancing, right?Because I'm pretty sure most people voted for the heavies to dance, and only Rin to sing, for now.
>>29454219Seems good
>>29454219Yes. Let's go with this.Would personally prefer adding more dancing across the board, but this works fine.
>>29454219Yeah, this works.
>>29454219I think julie and cole need dancing/singing lessons.
>>29454172Possible. Have to ask violent criminals if in agreement.
>>29454185MAYBE if we can get her an itty bitty one like pic related...
>>29454219>Yes
>>29454172Or the gangs could be merging with the terrorist organizations--especially if they're bigger gangs. Hell, the two could be in bed with each other--gangs make dosh off of drugs on the streets, buy guns from unscrupulous arms dealers, and sell those arms to the terrorist organizations at a profit. Terrorist cell leaders have clean hands and the gangs get more cash.
>>29454264it looked like that to me, but I gave up counting votesGood luck Merc, you've got your work cut out for you
>>29454264Rochelle's a mix of both as seen on her stat sheet so people were emphasizing on that.
>>29454219Wait, wasn't it dancing that had the most votes?I mean we have a dance instructor? Why not use him on all of our girls
>>29454308>>29454309As long as he responds, in either affirmative OR negative...
>>29454320That's what I'm kinda wondering...
>>29454219If we're going to have everyone doing something, shouldn't it be dancing?We can get away with some of them not singing if they're just acting as backup dancers, but them not being able to dance would be harder to work around as far as normal idol stuff goes it seems like.
>>29454219dancing or singing, either one works
>>29454219I think Rin should at least get some basic self-defense classes. Rochelle is the only one who will take the added bodyguard role seriously and who knows how good she'll be at that. Rin is the only one not capable of defending herself if something happens and she should be capable of that at least.
>>29454320>>29454338Are you two me?At least we're opening a dialog before anything moves through.
>>29454219"Interesting schedule." Jenner says as she reviews your work."Well, I figure that the combat idols will just be acting as backup, so they don't need to be doing too much dancing." You shrug. "Plus we don't exactly have any jobs at the moment besides the one to rough up some goons.""Ah yes, I remember." Jenner nods. "Do you want to do that now, or wait a bit?">Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.>I want to get some training in first.>Other
>>29454264We need dancing more than anything, as we can have some girls lipsynch for now. We need to have everyone contributing to the visuals.
>>29454219>>29454219yes
>>29454363You were saying?>>29454371
>>29454371>>I want to get some training in first.
>>29454371>training
>>29454371>>Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.Send in Rochelle, Julie and Cole.
>>29454371>>Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.The girls can handle themselves.
>>29454185>>29454279You're going about this all wrong, guys.She has electricity powers. There is only one correct weapon for her. Well, two if we classify railguns and coilguns separately.
>>29454371>>29454381>>29454389Well...Fuckin' Merc. Update before you post, motherfucker!
>>29454371>I want to get some training in first.>Maybe do a little recon just to be sure
>>29454371>I want to get some training in first.The only urgency was that we couldn't use the stage until the goons are cleaned up. We'd need training before a concert anyways, so let's just do it now
>>29454371>Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.I'm a bit concerned something unexpected will happen, but on the other hand I don't want another idol group to swoop in and take care of this before us.
>>29454371>>Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.We have two girls from the tombs, and a military brat, plus we are exmilitary.
Rolled 12>>29454371>>I want to get some training in first.
>>29454416These are fine as long as she isn't directly powering the weapons themselves.
>>29454302Gangs generally use their cash to fund their turf wars though. A terrorist organization flooding the streets with cash would cause a rise in violent crime, not a drop.
>>29454431I'm not sure if another group would, this is basically grunt work.
>>29454371>I want to get some training in first.
>>29454371>>Let's do it now. They should be able to handle it.The possibility of some other idol group stealing this job away from us is high, and we also have 3 capable girls and us for back up.
>>29454371>>I want to get some training in first.I want them to get used to this, more jobs will come
>>29454442>These are fineI'm glad we can agree on>as long as she isn't directly powering the weapons themselvesPic.
>>29454421>>29454389Overwhelming majority agreed with what I posted.
Worst case scenario I can think of is that these goons are just overprivilaged kids who would run to mommy and daddy to save them with their money.
>>29454499And it still doesn't make a lick of sense at all.
>>29454469they are already used to it, if you check out thier stas.>>29454184PROFICIENCIES: Firearms 1, Heavy Armor 1, Melee 2, Singing 1TRAITS:Breach and Clear: When initiating a combat, Julie always has initiative.PROFICIENCIES: Firearms 1, Light Armor 1, Melee 1, Dancing 1, Singing 1TRAITS:Stay Frosty: Rochelle provides a +1 bonus to perception checks whenever she is present.PROFICIENCIES: Melee 1, Lightning 1TRAITS:Lightning: Cole has the power to control and manipulate electricity.

>>29454491Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we can find a compromise.
>>29454499Its just people agreeing before actually thinking.
>>29454526Just let it go, either or is fine
>>29454499It's more about the fact that you didn't really acknowledge it, in any way, shape or form, that's kind of rustling me (us?).
Rolled 9>>29454527Cole is our weakpoint now.She can't even use any firearms, if we get into a hunkered down firefight, shes not going to be able to help much.We really really should have set her on firearms training.
>>29454449Well, we're doing it. And the news just said there were a lot of start ups.I'm mostly just being paranoid though, don't mind me too much.
>>29454527It's one thing to survive in dangerous place or be nerd it's another to work as a team to take down people...
>>29454558>Thundershock: Cole can performe a ranged or melee attack, even when unarmed.
>>29454452Damn, but the characters in Gargantia were good-looking
>>29454558>We really really should have set her on firearms trainingNo her fire arms are her lightning powers, so we should find a way to increase her INT stat, what she needs is either close combat training, or singing/dancing(this should be easy for her).
>>29454513So, worst case scenario is that we wind up reenacting that one episode of Stand Alone Complex?
>>29454302Anon, the terrorist organizations are bought off by the megacorps to hit their competitor. The violent crimes are dropping because 1) Criminals are being hired to stage terrorist acts conveniently on the corp's rival and 2) Police swept up the real criminals leaving behind mega corp supported ones that gets a police blind eye
>>29454558She's good enough that people were actively fearing her in the worst district in the city. If she wasn't able to deal with cover based shooting, she'd have kicked it a long time ago.
Rolled 6>>29454584And she gets tired from flinging energy.>>29454605And what if she gets wet again?
>>29454608Where did the goons come from? How did we capture them for interrogation? I am feeling like there is a thread I missed.
>>29454634Fuckin' sucks for her.
>>29454634That weakness is really based on a situational bases and can be overcomed with close combat, plus not everyone needs to be a ranged fighter.Also she can become stronger with lightening if we increase her INT stat and the endurance should be handled by STR(? might be AG)
>>29454619So the attacks are all just part of a staged shadow war to manipulate stock prices?
>>29454711its a cyberpunk settingthe shadows wars are a cover for the shadow wars shadow war espionage
>>29454371"I want to get in some training, first. Get them used to working together." You say."Alright. I'll schedule a couple sessions for joint training then, too." Jenner nods."Anyways, what are our funds?" You ask. "I know we're sort of a startup, so I'm expecting low numbers.""Well, here are our current expense figures." Jenner says. "By the way, all of our finance data is... simplified. Mostly just shaves off unnecessary zeroes wherever it can so things are more comprehensible."TREASURYFacility Upkeep: 900Staff Upkeep: 300Idol Upkeep: 400Vehicle Upkeep: 100Total Upkeep: 1700"Okay, so what's our income like?" You sigh, prepared for an answer you wouldn't like."We only have 2000 dollars in the bank right now." Jenner informs you. "The Boss is currently funding everything from his personal account, about 3000 per month, but I doubt we can keep that up for more than three or so months.""So we have to start getting jobs soon." You frown."Correct." Jenner nods.>See what Marc has for sale.>No, we should save what have for now.>Other
>>29454634Again, pretty much everyone we saw in the tombs would not approach her out of fear. The only ones who did were utterly curb-stomped. We were also utterly curb-stomped.What part of this are you not getting?
>>29454750>>See what Marc has for sale.Let's take a peek.
>>29454710>plus not everyone needs to be a ranged fighter.>>29454750>No, we should save what have for now.Save for a rainy day.
>>29454750>>See what Marc has for sale.We're only just window shopping.
>>29454605By the reasoning of having lighting powers, so she doesn't need firearms training, she doesn't need close combat training either.Thing is we may not always have control over the environment, long ranged firefight? Sprinkles are active and the area is wet? Something that requires a pin point strike?If we want to maximise her utility and make her more flexible, she at least needs some firearms training. I've said before, her lightning powers are her greatest strength AND weakness, because it is a crutch.>>29454710And once we start encountering folks who are specifically targeting her, they will try to make sure she cannot use her powers. Also unless body armour is significantly stronger, trying to close the range with goons wielding stuff like the M55 is asking for cole to be shot up.Stronger with lightning is not an answer for everything, like I mentioned.>>29454760Which part of 'we are not in the tombs anymore where gangs only attack in melee' are you not getting. We will be facing firearms.
>>29454750>>No, we should save what have for now.
>>29454750>>See what Marc has for sale.Hopefully we'll spy a bargain bin find.

>>29454750We should be able to get by for a bit...although, judging by this, staff members look like they're 100 a pop? Maybe we should consider hiring another staffer?
>>29454779So it's like training Superman how to box in that comic where he fought Muhammad Ali?
>>29454820The fuck are you talking about.You know what... No. Just stop posting.
>>29454750>See what Marc has for sale.
>>29454843the worst part: that comic/book is likely real, comic companies do some odd things.

>>29455049It's now Monday, and the official start of training for your Idols. Rin splits up with the group as she goes to her dancing classes with Ushiyama. You hope that things go well for her.Meanwhile, you're standing in a room with three young girls, all with some sort of combat experience. However, while they were individually skilled, you knew that none of them were trained or had experience working as a team, which is something you aimed to change."All three of you are here for a reason." You say, pacing back and forth in front of them in a dark mirror of your old drill instructor. "I know the three of you are individually skilled in certain fields. Brilliant, even. However, none of that matters if you can't bring your various skills together and work as a team.""And how do plan on having us do that?"

>>29455255But if it was the case, we'd be seeing indications that doctrine has changed to incorporate more melee combat since ranged weaponary would be more ineffective. And all the little tidbits of information still show it to be the same.

Rolled 6>>29455707they like fate points?and if we banked it, what roll would we use?
>>29455707Get this crit now.A normal success here probably means shes still in this fight.
>>29455707bank it (if the 16 is used or we reroll) dont know how this works
>>29455707Bank. As awesome as it would make us look, I'd rather have it later.
>>29455707I think we can pass on a save for once. I wanna see what happens.
>>29455707Bank it I guess, let's not traumatize our girls too early
>>29455730I believe it would become a normal success regardless of what was rolled.

Rolled 9>>29455707Bank it
>>29455736Downgrades to a normal success.But I think a normal success won't put cole out of the fight.A quick removal is best since its 3 on 1.

>>29455707Bank it
>>29455707......................Let the crit ride. I'll vote to bank the next one that isn't during live performance or life-and-death, I promise.
So are we suplexing her or something?
>>29455845I'm hoping we throw her into someone else.
>>29455707>nat20 keptIt's almost painfully easy. As good as Cole may be, her moves were extremely telegraphed. She throws a punch with her right arm, and you effortlessly sidestep. However, you're not finished there. You spin around in a 360 arc, taking Cole along with you like a flail. At the apex of your spin you let go, sending Cole flying into both Rochelle and Julie, sending all three girls sprawling onto the ground in a twisted pile.>Well, it looks like you made your point.>FINISH THEM>Other

>>29455940Nah, the AutoDoc will take care of anything.
>>29455858You decide it was time to finish things. You bend down and pick up Cole again, who's still disoriented from you attack."Guh-?" She mumbles as you pick her up."Sorry about this, girls, but it's for your own good." You say.It would be a lie to say you weren't totally grinning at this moment.With one simple motion, you drop Cole onto Rochelle and Julie, who are still sprawled on the ground. Cole lands on them with a loud and satisfying WHUMP, eliciting grunts and groans of pain from all three girls."Okay girls, do you want to know what you did wrong?" You say, brushing off your hands and smiling.The girls only respond in groans."Well, first things first, you tried to attack all at once." You say. "While normally it's a good strategy to overwhelm your opponent with numbers, the problem was that you were all approaching from the same direction, making it easier to defend against you. The second mistake you made was clumping up like that, because as you just saw with one single move I took all three of you out."More groans."Now did you three learn your lesson?"You're guessing the groans were a sign of affirmation. You assume.>Okay, let's try that again.>Skip to weapons training.>Skip to close combat training.>Other

>>29455998>Okay, let's try that again.No need to have quiters.also we are still doing the other training right after right?
>>29455998"Okay, let's try that one again." You say, instinctively flexing your augmetic arms. "I'll give you five minutes to plan."This time, the girls huddle together, whispering to each other their diabolical plan, whatever it could be. However, even though it seemed like they were starting to coordinate, you had no intention of letting them win. You still had your own pride, after all."Your five minutes are up." You announce.This time, the girls begin to space out, forming a triangle formation around you. Good, at least they learned that.Julie charges in first with a loud battle cry. You know that she's just trying to distract you to allow Rochelle and Cole to hit you from behind.

>>29456246Use our banked 20. We can afford to lose here, we can't afford to get knocked the fuck out or have them break anything.
>>29456281Hardly, P-San is just shit at being a soldier.Why do you think he's washed out?
>>29456292Um, we didn't bank it. We used it to crit the girls.
>>29456246Unfortunately, Julie manages to find a way past your guard, bending down and tackling you at the waist, her arms wrapping around our abdomen. You realize this isn't good.
