FACT: You live with your family.
SUB-FACT: Your mother and father are not at home. They will be out Toiling. You wish they did not have to.
SUB-FACT: Your brother is down the hall and most likely either asleep or playing Games.
FACT: You have one hour in which to get ready for your JOB
SUB-FACT: Your JOB is actually what keeps this family afloat, but you cannot tell your family what that JOB entails. It is one of your oldest SECRETS, from before the Authority.

More specifically, they didn't have you and every magical girl you could recruit if you were able to pump the witch's ghost for how she managed to hack the devices.

She apparently did things in the stupidest way possible, fighting the entire Authority on her lonesome rather than joining up with allies. If her entire species had magic, then there'd be an entire planet full of Blue Witches that would have already overthrown the Authority by now; since that hasn't happened the more rational explanation is that she managed to hack her device, then completely neglected to teach anyone how to do it or hack anyone else's devices to create an army of magical girls.

>Toil
Jeeze, an interstellar civilization needs people to manually mine for them? Wouldn't it be way more cost effective to have people run mining equipment? Unless the whole point is a control measure and not about production?

>rebellion
Seems like a very bad idea, right now. Rebellions are always very bloody, and you're in no position to win one.

Take a nap. Talk to your brother tomorrow, play some more puzzle games, etc.

So, are you going to play some video games or something? Try inviting your brother via co-op. Maybe play some intellect games or an MMO to increase your stats.

Short story? I found his porn stash. I don't want to think about the rest of it.

No. 625134 ID: 82efdc

Well, we could tell one a few partial truths here.

You could say you came across his porn.
You could say he has a crush on Ellandra.
You could say you told you family who you are.

They're all part of the problem, the key is just not to tell her all of it, and hope she gives useful advice on the part you reveal.

...go for the porn. It's the safest, and highest awkward / discouraging her asking follow up questions.

>I have a little brother too
Yeah? Did your entire family ever come across his porn stash?

Tell her you've got more than enough lewsidious material tonight, thanks.

If you wanted to up the ante, it's not so much you found his porn, it's that he knows you did. So it's really awkward now. (Or... that it's kind of magical girl themed. Probably shouldn't say that though).

Self control roll: 7-5=2 vs 10 (EASY)

You think you're not going to get anywhere with B3 unless you're completely forthright but you're afraid that she's just going to say something like it being a "sisterly duty to help him get it out of his system by ushering him into adulthood" given her unusually progressive opinions and the sort of things she reads.

Instead you tell her maybe you'll just sleep on it and it'll make more sense in the morning.

She feels a little let down by that but trusts you completely. Come to think of it she always has..

It is getting late. You can sleep in a bit tomorrow though, so if you want to do stuff like studying now you can, but you may be less distracted if you get up earlier tomorrow. Or you can continue chatting with people, but you shouldn't probably be more than 1-2 hours if you want to not be in as much of a hurry tomorrow as you were today..

Makes me wonder again: how did you save her? You're curious, but not enough to ask, with all the other crazy revelations you already have on your plate tonight.

Maybe see if you can deal with your brother now? That or just go to bed.

You decide to go to bed. It's tough getting to sleep because of all that's going on, but you feel that at least some of your todos will be easier in the morning.

QUESTS TO DO:
- You have a fight in the late afternoon
- You should really talk to your brother about things
- What about all that porn?
- You kind of ran off on Kith, maybe you should talk to her about that.
- Do you want to tell B3 about what happened?

END OF FIRST DAY:

SKILL POINT ALLOTMENT TIME
Your current stats:

Strength: 2 (6) [PHYS]
Precision: 2 (5) [PHYS]
Intellect: 3 (3) [MENT]
Charm: 2 (3) [MENT]
Intimidate: 2 (4) [MENT]
Speed: 2 (5) [PHYS]
Magic: 0 (5)
Self Control maximum: 20

You may use a PHYS point to increase a physical stat by 1, a MENT point to increase a mental stat by 1, and other points can be used anywhere.
You can also use a skill point to raise or lower the self control maximum by 2 points- it's easier to avoid doing bad things with a higher self control, but sometimes doing those things is the right choice.

>>625242
some notes, I decided to let ment points increase your social skills as well as those can be learned/practiced.

Also, adding a bonus to your strength, etc will increase both the regular and transformed levels. Magic is one of the few skills you can't use in a diminished form out of combat, but in-combat has a much greater potential than the other skills in what you can do. Also, increasing your magic will increase your base abilities (such as letting you fly, deflect shots, etc). At even numbers you will gain a magical perk.

2 points in precision
2 points in speed

Gussy your intellect upon meeting a witch...

But seriously, prepare yourself for betrayal, paranoia, and the sheer ruthlessness of an encompassing empire. With SCIENCE!

First of all, since REG points apparently work as well as PHYS or MENT points at the relevant stats while also being more versatile, PHYS and MENT points should be used before REG points where applicable to allow for more flexibility when assigning later points (unless I guess you so distrust the other commenters you want to cut options off from them).

A review of what our stats have done so far:
Strength: 2 (6) [PHYS]: Melee physical attacks.
Precision: 2 (5) [PHYS]: Um, we had an option to use it or speed to back-flip once? Maybe it has been our combat style or having only magic and bludgeoning attacks, but we haven't really used Prec much.
Intellect: 3 (3) [MENT]: Finding things, learning rules, explaining things.
Charm: 2 (3) [MENT]: Friendship, social stuff and crowd pleasing.
Intimidate: 2 (4) [MENT]: Other social stuff and crowd pleasing.
Speed: 2 (5) [PHYS]: Reflexive defense, grapple escape and movement. Used quite frequently in battle so far due to functioning sort of like armor class.
Magic: 0 (5) : Ranged attack, movement, utility and prepared defense. Would likely be a straight upgrade vs Str if it weren't for how our magic is not always active and can be disabled.
Self Control: Avoid temptation to do rash decisions or not do emotionally hard actions (also I suspect bad things would probably happen if it drops to 0)

I am going to put 1 PHYS in Speed, since passive def is good to have and speed will also be useful to close in on enemies if we continue with our current brawler mage fighting style.

As a side note, 16 total stat points at a 1:1 buy rate is pretty high relative to our current stats (31 total points excluding self control, 41 including), so in meta terms I see this going one of two ways: First case, we gain less points on subsequent levels (with the first day functioning kind of like a tutorial before we choose our core build). Second case, we continue growing in power at an alarming rate compared to our initial levels (perhaps due to space ghost witchery), setting us on a path of Gurren-Lagann-like escalation. (If the second case is true and it is just us gaining power, we might want to start concealing the extent our growth until from the Authority until we have snowballed enough to take them on.)
Since we will have more ability to readjust in the second case, we should plan for the first case where we will have significantly less stat growth in subsequent levels.

...Theorycrafting is fun.

>[B3] trusts you completely. Come to think of it she always has...
We were a magical girl before the invasion, so that would have included normal magical girl things like fighting supervillains, evil spirits, and/or giant monsters, right? Maybe we saved her hometown when she was a kid.

OK, seeing it's one stat point allocation per suggester, I'll nudge one of those REG points into MAGIC because delicious even number perks.

One Regular point into Magic, if the base stat needs to be even. If it's the boosted stat that's used for perks then we've already got the first perk.

and 5 more reg depending on the charm and int upgrade type.

Okay, that's twelve hours.

I'm going to put another mental point in charm.

That brings the totals so far to:

7 - 2 = 5 REGULAR

4 - 3 = 1 PHYS
5 - 5 = 0 MENT
7 - 4 = 3 REGULAR

+2 charm
+2 intelligence
+2 speed
+3 magic
+2 intimidate
+1 str

If we count the three votes that didn't specify points spent ( >>625256 >>625252 >>625311 for charm intelligence and speed, respectively) that still leaves us with one regular or physical point to spend.

I feel as though specializing in a stat is the best way to go for level ups. After all, they don't cost more the more you raise them, and we can choose combat techniques that favor our high stat. Also, charm seems really useful, we wound up using that stat a lot.
>>
No. 625359 ID: d3be40

>>625358
Yeah, but if real-life worked that way we'd see more scientists working in politics than a sci-fi convention.

Increasing stats is not necessarily an upgrade. It depends on the context; there are some situations where stat grinding is always effective, and situations where it is too time-consuming or even counterproductive.

For example, the Crimson Authority is likely going to notice all the shiny new Magic stat points we allotted OUTSIDE OF THE DEVICE. Wonder how that's going to play out...
>>
No. 625361 ID: ce3b31

>>625359
the magic points you're adding are only usuable when transformed. De facto, the Magic stat in Larama form is always going to be 0, and it's going to be blocked out from use when you're transformed but in a non-combat situation under Crimson control.

The upside to having better magic is versatility in the fights but it won't help you in the social game, or if you get into a fight as Larama.

Precision, as it was questioned, is what "dex" would be if your ranged attacks weren't magic. If you found yourself with a gun, then your ranged attacks WOULD be precision, but now they're just the subset of "fine control" dex skills like lock picking, balance, or watch repair

anyway still waiting on that last point to get allocated!

Speed: 5 (8)
Magic: 0 (8)
Self Control maximum: 20
correct?

Magical perks:
DOWN STAR - if you are not reeling from an attack you can safely land from any height or at any velocity
FASHION STAR - you can transform your clothing when in your Mahou form. This can also be used to repair damaged clothing or as a disguise.
