Fair enough on the Applejack front.
But for Ponyville? Yes, it wasn't actually "safe" but people felt it was after the Calamity. And you don't have to take my word for it. Turn... Fifteen? Sixteen? The last time Velvet spoke with Mayor Mare. And when the decision of where people were housed...
"So, is anyone else hungry?" Asked Rayden. "Because I'm starving. Being menaced at makes me ravenous. Besides, you don't want to team up, but maybe we can share info. I'm the best at sharing info. I share everyone's info. Desria collects stuffed turtles, and Cavallo is obsessed with baking."...
Ponyville wasn't really safe, remember the "kidnappings"?
You actually gave a very good narrative argument for talking to the Mayor, but I still want to social Applejack(for nefarious purposes).
You make really good points and I'm not to attached to Velvet's personal actions.
Here's a variant plan we're Velvet talks to the Mayor and get a start on that ritual research.
bow chicka wow wow
As always you prove to have a way with words.
Honestly, I completely forgot that we could (and should!) play by putting the narrative first, so you have my vote.
...Unles Shapers princess gambit gets approved, cuz that would be too fun to pass up on.
to be fair expeditions (at least short ones) only really cost an action from the leader, so a follow-up to this turn's assault is relatively simple to organize and afford.
But yeah, next turn there's a LOT of stuff we can or might want to do.
1)Follow up on Copper
2)Finish Outsider if it's not...
Outside and inside perspectives.
Or, to put it plainly, how does it look and how will people react to Velvet reaching out to them, at this time.
Cheerilee is a pleasant teacher. But from her perspective,,why on earth would Velvet, who barely is alive right now, want to speak with her? My gut...
Inner circle would be seed for new cults, but they are also good things to let bureau do.
Gets the Bureau some successes, get the Bureau hooked on counter cult activity.
I'm going to hit 30 soon, so I started thinking about what I want done by the end of the decade. Getting bigger arms is one. Visiting the doc and dentist more. Then there's publishing. Ten years should be enough, right?
My priority list is
1. Retrieve/Unsummon the Winter Name.
2. Kill Copper.
The Winter name is by far the most important, valuable, and powerful thing, Copper has access to. After that killing Copper is just a good thing. Overall we can get the rest of the important things from the our people...
A few quibbles and suggestions, mixed with a glass of wine - assimilate or ignore as you like:
Starting off with "Hm welp" - I'm guessing the intention is to be a bit blasé about things? Or trying to play off falling through the void/infinity? It can feel a bit samey for readers to have the "oh...
I'd say that your plan is the best so far...
But why the Mayor?
Like, I could understand the teacher, parents are always to up in their business.
I could understand butting into the failing marriage, what with how insistent people are that it'll pay dividends.
But the mayor? Now? When we are...
