Bayonetta I think my main thing is it's just a bit too sexy and brutal for my taste.

CHIKARA Don't Eat the Black One: ....ogod is that UMB on commentary. Sabian/Jigsaw for the Cup! Kingston points out that Sabian is heel in CZW and face here. I've always been kinda curious how that kinda thing worked on the indy circuit. I haven't much enjoyed UMB's screeching at ringside but his awkward commentary is winning me over, if that is indeed he. Solid wrestling. Random and inconsequential runins from Ravage and Rorshach, then Jigsaw wins off a reversed rollup. (***) Seems kinda anti-climactic! Here comes Sabian heel turn? No?

CHIKARA War Grapes: Crabtree and Hallowicked opening against Satochi and Danger! Kingston and Sweeney dream team back in action but THE ABS~ are not. Oh no it is intergender wrestling how ever will any of us survive this debauchery. Heels keep trying to do the Doomsday Device lol. Faces over. Good but could've done more imo. (**1/2)

Three-Body: I kinda want this whole countdown thing to just be in his head, but I doubt that's the direction we're going. Do the URLs work? Probably not since this is (IIRC) a translation? Big Shu has big Ooishi energy and there is allegedly an analogue of Ciconia's World Reset Cult. I love when there are little commonalities like that among my things. One of the (few) advantages of juggling projects like I do!

1) Probably a good idea to at least sneak a peek!

Seemed like maybe an NP going off. More important than a retired Master. You had a hunch you'd find Archer or Kirk here, and....they're fighting! Whole lotta dead bodies scattered around, too. Archer keeps firing at Kirk Noir, but it doesn't seem to be having much effect. Erika watches on from a safe distance. You're not actually sure who would win this fight, and you're not sure who you want to win, either.

1) Help Team Archer, most likely sacrificing yourself
2) Help Kirk Noir, most likely giving the Grail to a psychopath
3) Wait and see
4) Abscond

You're on your way across the Battlefield when the sky darkens briefly, and you can barely make out some flashes of light. There's definitely something big going down out here. Maybe you should check it out?

1) Probably a good idea to at least sneak a peek!
2) You need allies, not intel. Stay the course and go say hi to Wario while that works itself out.

Bayonetta seems kinda fun and Atelier is one of those series I will get around to playing eventually and then the next thing you know I'll be ten games deep. Dunno much about Portia- looks like another Harvest Moon-like?

FE: The three things I needed to figure out were: 1) No you can't just speedrun the boss and skip the rescue, 2) hey Manuela is not a guest character you can slap a shield on her and then she can survive combat, and 3) My team is currently not cool enough to try anything fancy with flyers taking shortcuts. I think part of my issue is that I have a lot of folks in weird classes right now- a lot of them are mastering their intermediate classes, but not quite qualified on levels or skills for advanced classes. Those folks I've put in other intermediate classes so they could still pick up some new stuff. As a result, Ingrid is now a Brigand instead of the Peg Knight that could've rushed in and helped Manuela stall, and Flayn is a crappy Peg Knight instead of a Priestess with Rescue. Also we got to the ball and I went up the tower with Ashe in a last-minute decision. Dmitri has more secret hidden edge than I wanna deal with in a romantic partner, Ashe appeals a bit more than Dedue, and nobody else was presented as an option. Still kinda mad at some of the choices for who I can or can't same-sex romance.

Three-Body: I feel like we keep having timeskips right when I finally start becoming interested in the characters and scenarios. Hopefully we stick with the haunted camera for a bit! My working theory is a higher intelligence trying to communicate. And/or it's counting down to his death. Somebody get Dalinar on the case.

You are now the other girl- Servant Lancer, Ruby Rose! (RWBY) Your greatest assets are your speed Semblance, your Silver Eyes NP, and your neato scythe that is also a gun. You're probably pretty close to winning this Grail War, but at this point you're pretty sure that's not actually a good thing. Your master is James Kirk (Star Trek), who WAS a good guy, but when you fought Caster and his friends, you took the ring off the monster guy. Kirk tried the ring on later, and that turned out to have been a really bad idea, because now HE'S a berserk monster too! He has taken over Prospit City and barely even interacts with you these days. You're left to try to clean up his administrative mess while he runs around, probably looking for people to kill.

You need to stop him or bring him under control somehow, but you're running out of time and options. Kirk Noir (as he's going by these days) remains under heavy guard, and you don't want to fight innocent soldiers to get to him. Caster, Assassin, Rider, and Ruler are all dead, along with most of their Masters. Presumably False Caster is gone by now as well. You saw one other team in that one fight, but you haven't seen them since, and you're not sure if they were Saber, Berserker, or somebody else. Archer is, uh, really great, but you're not willing to work with her Master, and Archer isn't willing to turn on her.

Argh, you hate sitting around doing paperwork while your Master is probably out rampaging somewhere! There's gotta be something you can do, but what?

1) Go see what he's up to. Maybe he needs help, or maybe you can stop him.
2) Focus on what you can do, and what you can do is keep this city running as smoothly as possible.
3) Go visit Archer. She probably won't be much help, but she might....WELL ANYWAY.
4) Try to seek out other Servants and Masters. Maybe the cranky guy and the mask guy would be good!
5) Wario is an unlikely ally but hey he owes you one. Swing by New Derse.

FE: I get the distinct sense that we are going to some darker places than usual for this series. Also who wants to bet that Flame Emperor is a good guy? It looks like I'll be able to make Dorothea a Dancer, which is cool. And I can recruit all the faculty now, so a buncha students are gonna never see daylight again lol. I was asked who I wanna do romantic things with, and on the spur of the moment I went with Ashe over my previous plan of Dmitri. He's a good kid and Dmitri has been going edgy on me. Currently having issues with the paralogue where Manuela is bumrushed by flyers and that's my fault somehow.

Three-Body Problem: If you liked Tom butchering fantasy names, you'll love Tom attempting Chinese names! I'm also not up at all on my Chinese history outside a smattering of Warring States, so this could get dicey. "Reactionary" already doesn't even sound like a word.

3) Keep your range and try to occupy Jack, let everybody else handle the minions

"I'll keep him busy; take out the small fry." You wish you felt as confident as you sounded, but that's your best bet at getting most of your squad out of this alive. You expect Jack to rush in like his previous incarnation, but instead he pulls out some sort of device. You weave a bit, not sure what to expect, and it fires some sort of laser at you. Right into your chest. This looks like....the end.

You have died.

1) No more updates
2) Retcon that you survived
3) Let me pick the next character you control
4) Pick the next PC from a shortlist of people who make sense (spoilers)
5) Pick the next PC from a list of everybody alive (more spoilers)
6) Just watch the rest play out without controlling anybody
7) Get complete spoilers THEN watch the rest play out

((You had a decent chance not to get hit by that shot in the first place, and an 89% chance of surviving it once it hit. (it was like a 45% chance not even to take damage!) I feel kinda bad Fire Emblem-ing you like that, but I didn't wanna make this the kinda project where the PC gets to cheat, and I already gave you one freebie when Phantom crit-failed his recovery roll))

BoM: BEATED. A good time! Looks like we're escalating, which might be fun. I'm waiting for all this vaguely-in-the-same-universe stuff to culminate in some sorta giant crossover finale or something. Wonder if that's an eventual plan?

Ciconia: What the going south lacks in quickness, it makes up for in degree. And we're not particularly close to done yet even I bet!

Trails: Gave up and used a guide- I was essentially right, but I needed one more hole poked in the alibi. That was quite silly but now I guess we're going to Zeiss or something.

Yeah I don't remember offhand exactly where it's left but at the very least it has a bunch of folks in the mod already. ....Might need a few more if it's going to be its own fed though.

....Actually how would we wanna do that? The original idea was a "big 3" Naruto/One Piece/Bleach megafed. Do we just make it a big 2 and maybe pad it out with minor characters or other series? Two separate feds like we were going to do with Bleach? Keep the big 3 idea and Naruto is just suspiciously underrepresented? Any of those ideas I imagine would involve adding a few more dudes above what we already have.

4) Parlay

The deck is stacked against you here, so let's go for something peaceable. Jack Noir II glares menacingly at you, and roars wordlessly after you say your piece. Doesn't seem much for talking. Jeremiah oddly seems intent on standing with you. He whispers in your ear that this guy seems to have the same kind of power as the one from the tower, which means he probably has a ring that is causing the transformation. Removing that ring somehow is probably your best chance if true- you don't like your trio's chances against him, or your dolls' chances against the superior numbers of the Prospitians, or Phantom's odds of survival if he exerts himself here.

....Doesn't look like New Jack is going to wait around. He charges at your group barehanded.

1) Send Jeremiah and Christine in, support with illusions
2) Everybody blitzes Jack
3) Keep your range and try to occupy Jack, let everybody else handle the minions
4) We need Phantom even if this will probably kill him
5) Run from the miles

Would be similar to what you did with CHIKARA after I put them in the game (so relationships and stuff like that, but not the stats) plus some mysterious amount of work needed to convert to 2020 once that comes out.

Currently without help it's gonna be like Luffy Nami and Zoro probably winding up as Bleach/DBZ guests or something <_>

Phantom seems to be getting worse, if anything. You let him go to Spirit Form for a bit. Maybe you should look into Prospit City on your own. You start to make preparations to that end, when Christine starts getting agitated. A handful of your Coloraturae have returned! They shamble into camp with more urgency than you're used to seeing from them. Moments later, you see why- there's a large army of Prospitians surrounding you. At their head is a vaguely familiar figure.....it looks a bit like Jack Noir, and yet not. Lighter skin, a taller build, and a bit more human-ness. Berserker's not in fighting condition, Christine is rather unstable, your doll army is in rough shape, and Jeremiah is as likely to stab you in the back as he is to help. This is gonna be a tough one.

1) Illusions: Derse army
2) Illusions: Phantom
3) Command Spell: Suck it up and kamikaze these guys, Phantom
4) Parlay
5) Abscond

((Phantom actually should have died there from missing the recovery check badly enough, but that would be an exceptionally silly way to Game Over so I'm being nice.))

A) Let's work on Prospit City next

You give him two options. He can work with you under close supervision, and at least get SOME of the revenge he seeks, or he can just rot as a prisoner, maybe becoming a doll at some point. He's clearly not thrilled, but hey, when you put it like that....maybe he'll even get a chance to kill you later.
