Jim's Action PM 2

Action PM stuff

setup
	the night before
		play some trumpet
		this has been a sad day
			missing the ordeals, giovanni decapitating a little girl, jim's group trust thing fizzling out, april fukin mutilating a little girl,...
			a drink would be even better
	things to bring:
		wearing:
			Weighted-Knuckle Gloves
			HUD Glasses
		pillow case (these are the things in the case:)
			Caltrops
			Hammer
			Barbed-Wire Net
			Pencil and Paper
			(do they programs have something physical to carry around in order to use? if so, bring them)
		Stage Assistant (in pocket)
		Bowie Knife (x2) (concealed on person in his pocket, waistband, whatever)
		leave his trumpet and pillow in his room
	APPARENTLY, this is the plan:
		Enzo, Matthew, and Isabella will follow Ulricha and ambush her as soon as the grace period's over
			this is already where i think the plan goes to hell, but whatever
		then they'll ambush Giovanni as soon as he gets released from his room
		after that, i'm assuming they'll go to the Alchemist Lab and spend the rest of the night combing it over
		at the end of the night, Matthew, Enzo, and I will stage an attack near our rooms to clear my personal objective
Game Plan (part 1)
	bolt straight for the Alchemist Lab
		try not to get in my buddies' way with Ulricha
		go south and enter through the room's left door
	go straight for the Ordeal Terminal
		don't mess with anything weird
			unless it's some personal protective equipment (safety goggles, lab coat, etc.)
			dunno how serious mister Hoss is about that, but sure, put them on
		ESPECIALLY don't mess with that stone on the pillar!
			that's got "sketchy" written all over it
	if the Ordeal room is already barricaded
		wtf
			how
		ask who's in it
			if it's Ulricha, someone not an ally, or no answer, (try to) break the door down
			if it's Young or an ally, try convincing her i'm the Service specialty and I'll pick her as a second or some shiz
				if that fails, fuck it, explore the Alchemist Lab, maybe try solving for the Masterwork item
				we'll work out this stupid misunderstanding next common room
	if Jim gets into the room safe and sound:
		slide a piece of paper under the door (from inside to outside)
			saying "JIM HERE, PLEASE DON'T ENTER, THAT'D BE BAD FOR BOTH OF US"
		do not open for any reason, even if allies are screaming bloody murder
			pain is temporary, death marks are eternal
			or even if someone tries disguising their voice as an ally's
				no siree, Jim's staying shut indoors
		barricading the room:
			spread Caltrops on the floor just past the door
			set my Stage Assistant to make a really fucking loud ticking sound with the metronome
				make it 60 bpm, one tick a second
					now it sounds like a bomb lol
				hold it in my hand (in case i need it as a spotlight instead)
			if the door is future slidey:
				hang up the Barbed-Wire Net over the door frame
					stab both Combat Knives into the wall at eye level to support the Net up
						use the hammer to really set them in
					like a screen door, but just with those two knives to keep the net up
			if the door is normal hingey inwards:
				hang up the Barbed-Wire Net, one side knife'd on the wall and the other knife'd on the door
				like this https://i.imgur.com/Fo7Jrmv.png
		use my Programs
			Hot Potato and the Score Roulette
			there's gonna be a lot of death mark shuffling this round
			best chance to sneak these by without suspicion
		prepare myself
			wield the Hammer
				use the gloves to grip anything that tries cutting the net and take it
				a sword, scissors, etc.
			between the Net and the Caltrops, Jim should get the jump on anyone who tries entering with his Hammer
				bash ur fukin head in
			if Ulricha tries to Sleep Mask the place:
				use the spotlight on my Stage Assistant
				fend her off the best i can
			if anyone Black-Out's me:
				i'm screwed
				honestly, this setup can drive off a lot of things
					but Jim's got no answer to a Black-Out
					so hit hard, hit fast, and don't give an intruder the time to use it successfully
	do the Ordeal
		between my self-mark bonus removal, delegating a mark, and naming a second, remove a mark from Jim, Isabella, and Matthew (in that priority)
	wrap-up:
		sweep the Caltrops away with the side of his foot
		rip off the net (the knives are running out of durability today, leave them)
		everything goes into the pillow case sack
			except the hammer, that goes in his pocket for quick-drawing
			and keep wearing the Weighted-Knuckle Gloves and HUD Glasses
		just walk out
			look, if someone out there is gonna beat his ass, no sense putting it off
			not like Jim can stay cooped up forever
			i mean, that means Ulricha or Giovanni won against Enzo and two others
				Jim's got no chance

Game Plan (part 2)
	have fun exploring around in the Alchemy Lab
		the HUD Glasses should be a huge help in identifying useful stuff
			i have a pillowcase sack, i will use it to its fullest potential
		let Isabella drink a potion to clear the objective
			if she's not around and someone else goes for it, sorry Isabella, you snooze you lose. Let them
			after someone clears the objective, take whatever potions look useful
				if they can't be taken (like, no lid or something), drink whatever's beneficial
		try kicking down the locked door to the back room
			if unsuccessful, no big deal, wait around for Matthew to bring his Riptide to unlock it
	Hoss didn't say anything about the Masterwork hint
		considering there's a stone on a pedestal, and the item's the Philosopher Stone, seems pretty obvious
			but still sketchy!
			hopefully those HUD Glasses will be informative
		probably involve mixing potions and shiz?
			find the instructions, gather the materials, follow some mixing process with the crazy glass tubes,...
			well, save it for last
				looting for useful items is more rewarding use of time
			"improving synchronization level" sounds great, but Jim's getting plenty as-is
	if Ulricha or Giovanni show up and my buddies aren't around:
		holy shit get out
			just bolt back to my room
		i'm probably already dead
	near the end of the night:
		go back to my room
		fetch my trumpet and stage the attack while Jim plays this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x30u2uMYCgU)
			if Matthew and Enzo aren't around, try to get Young, Isabella, or Pipere to help
			drag the person into their room
			don't loot anything, you meanie
		might as well make the rounds for Stockpile rooms
			throw in anything that will run out of durability that night

overarching guidelines:
	if things go fantastically off the rails:
		go back to my room, fetch the trumpet, and try to catch people to help with my objective
			don't forget dragging the person back into their room
	if Jim ever knocks out someone, don't forget to loot an item
		in priority: Masterwork, Augmentation voucher, weapon, whatever else
		if pressed for time, just take whatever's quickest to make off with
	if the lights ever go out:
		bust out my Stage Assistant. It's got a spotlight feature, so it can be a jank flashlight in a pinch

Player relationships:
Allies:
	Matthew
		trustworthy! a good guy
	Isabelle
		her dead hands are a massive handicap
		plus, she's just gonna try running away
			i'm very concerned about her
		but, she's with Matthew and Enzo. They'll take care of her
	Enzo
		he's iffy and dangerous
		but Jim's got no choice but to trust him
			besides, not like anticipating an attack will help. Dude's an armory
			but he'd be helpless under a net, heh heh
Questionable:
	Pipere
		alright, but the messy discussion about Giovanni/Ulricha/Isabella soured Jim's opinion of her
		seems trapped into attending the Chrono-place, so likely won't cross paths
	Young Moolah
		pretty much nothing known about her
		she spent the night in Enzo's room. Suspicious!
Enemies:
	Giovanni, Ulricha
		both are mega bad news
		if i'm alone (and probably even with allies), avoid at all costs
Miscellaneous
	Dog / Roomba
		???
		really dislikes Pipere???
	April
		actually the host???
		holy fuck you can't just do that to Isabella
			also can toss around death marks like it's nothing
	Hoss
		an angel! super cool and helpful
	Galatea
		weird and foreboding
		apparently gone for good?
