Oh, this is old news, I'm just crying because she's coming to visit T_T

What? I hinted about it since the arc where Mittelt appeared. Plus it's not as if the whole cast of Touhou is going to appear. This is pretty much the only time it will. Apart from Suika and someone else I mean...Dimensionist said::facepalm:
Alex, why are you crossing this with pretty much everything? I mean, seriously. It's just getting ridiculous now.
Nope: here Yukari isn't so all-powerful that she can do whatever she wants. Random gapping is one of the things she isn't allowed to do.Smuthunter said:So when our friend in the Shinto pantheon* is talking about Japan having problems with the youkai population is he also talking aboGAPPED

Alexander said:...Should I mark it as a non-canonical omake? I mean I have a definite list of what series I am going to include, and I don't plan to add anything else.
I just don't want you all to think that I am adding everything without a clear plan in mind, just because it's cool.
Yes, it's today's post.EternitynChaos said:On a side note, the Interlude was today's story post yah? *just asking because last time we had one there was another post as well that day, and I figured, can't hurt to ask
I was the one who guessed it was Touhou way back when you gave us that first clue... it looks like most forgot or didn't bother noticing though -.-Alexander said:...Should I mark it as a non-canonical omake?

Overall, Stunts should usually be more about increasing the drama/narrative through descriptions of the environment (people are environment) than about just listing what you do. An example from the last vote:
[X] The Fourth Estate: While all the Brockton Bay Wards have had to go through the media machine this week, you've had an extra-heaping helping of local Television interviews, meet-and-greets, and photo ops. Smile!
- [x] Stunt: You approach the talk-show stage with every bit of catwalk grace you can muster from past books, TV shows, and movies. Countering the host's shark-like grin with your own beaming smile, you made sure the cameras soak up your confidence from every angle; the fate of the world rides on your pearly-whites.
This is a +3 stunt. Here's why:
It adds 'character' to an existing scene (the talk-show stage) by explicitly calling out the cameras and her playing to them. If there was more time/room, one could call down the stage lights as part of the stunt- the way they shone on her skin or pinged off any set decorations.
The little bit that pushes it from a +2 Stunt to a +3 Stunt? Extras! People in the scene who do not have names but exist to 'fill the space' are meant to be stunt fodder- the nameless wuxia crowd. In this case the host is not only created, but given character in a way that sets up dramatic tension in the scene right from the get-go.
EternitynChaos said:While I'm not Alexander, or at least /laugh not that one your aiming at, the whole +2 => +3 stunt divide is very ST dependant, some ST give them out like candy, others are much harder to get them out of, I think Alexander has done well myself, the few times we have managed them the Stunts have been awesome, and thats what we should be aiming for.
We got a +3 when we fought Reynare at the church as well.EternitynChaos said:http://questionablequesting.com/index.php?topic=408.msg51883#msg51883

You know I'm seeing a pattern of us getting 3+ stunts whenever we're saving women

That's something, thankfully, we've been able to avoid among the girls in our lives.

For some reason when I think about that though I think back to sekirei with tsukiumi's and musubi's competitions. We have the presence and charms needed to get that sort of competition set up and keep it on track rather then derailing.
