Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

I have a small question that I wouldn't mind throwing here. Mostly because both alternatives are fine, and for all that I am not opening a vote, I would be intrigued to see yall's opinion on it.

Currently, the distribution of actions looks something like this:

[X] Plan: Prisoner Chomping
-[x] (Free) Sell Edge 3 artifact
-[x] (Detectives) Follow Up: Dodge City
-[x] (Constables) Follow Up: Tall Tale
-[X] (Commissioner) Introduce Lore: Forge
-[x] (Director) Lantern
(MAREINETTE) - (Mareinette) Honored Guest: Spoiled Rich & Filthy Rich
(BIEDDE) - (Biedde) Channel an Edge Influence
(BALDOMARE) - (Baldomare) Channel a Lantern Influence
(SELENE 1) - (Selene) Soothe the night
(RARITY) - (Rarity) Focus on her work
(SELENE 2x) - Perform the Reflection of the Tapestry x 2
--[X] Target: Easiest Level 7 book to acquire
--[X] Target: Easiest Forge 6 reagent to acquire
--[X] At Jade's old house
-[X] Acquire a prisoner, preferably not an innocent civilian
(CHERENKOLT) - Build a prison
-[X] Obtain a dead body
-[X] Perform the Attention of the Laws (Edge) (x2)
(SERVANTS, TORN RISEN) - Cover your bases (-2 Follower AP, +1 Velvet AP)

Remaining followers
Fluttershy: 1
Velvet Axe: 2

The only two actions I haven't locked in who should perform are the two AotL and the prisoner picking.

Pretend for a moment that there is no dice roll involved, and that the chosen character will succeed. Do you all think Velvet would ask Axe to do it, or Comet?

Or rather, which one could make for a more interesting scene?

To be clear, there will be a dice roll involved. And Axe has better stats to do it. But I can't help but wonder if it would be more interesting for the Comet x Velvet dynamic if she asked him instead.

I'll probably have Axe do it. But the fact I am thinking about it does make me wonder...
 
Also, I think we messed up. Did we approve a follower's plan that had fourteen demands, for our thirteen followers? (Jade Whistle has no actions for this turn).

EDIT: and before anyone panics, I don't really care. It's such a minor thing, really. Worst case scenario, I'll have the body dug up on the beginning of the turn, and have the new Risen start counting its summoning period at the beginning of turn 22 rather than the end.
So don't worry. I want to write and get this turn going, not throw us back into a voting session just because of some minor bureaucratic issue.
