Technology is incredible!

0. [All that old stuff]
Alot of the old stuff can be found in here: https://pastebin.com/V9gdbKtQ

Anything that isn't a part of that will probably end up becoming apparent here. As an aside, even if she doesn't get in for one reason or another, this is still canon, and that's what REALLY matters here! Of course, some of the thoughts in there are outdated, but the flavor text should provide the required updates--speaking of which, time for Elysia to get on the mic!

1. [How did the events of the Thessalian Expedition impact your character personally? Did their success/failure change anything?]
The success certainly changed things--inventors inventing important inventions pretty much changes everything. Ed wasn't too much in the way this time, so I benefited from a lot for a change. On the other hand, having brought back all this ancient technology...it stifles actual innovation, so my days have become ever busier. Thankfully, EGG hasn't been requesting I do too much more than handle the blueprints, but I've had to regulate any off-hours I thought I had to making actual new things with the knowledge the blueprints provide. My success has been...limited, but a lot of it seemed to rely on electricity--a fact of which confirmed my belief that electricity was the future. It has been busy, though the details of that business would prove to be a bit tiring to go over.

2. [Has anything changed in their life in the time since?]
Ed has become slightly more tolerable. His advances in automobile technology have made it easier for him to travel further away from me, which may be directly responsible for these feelings. ...Yes, that must be it, because it's managed to outweigh his cheeky comments about how money really 'does' help. It's a failing of humanity that such a thing is true, though. Ah, if anyone asks, I wished him the best. But only if anyone asks.

3. [What do you think of the technological advances picked by the people who made it inside? Or of the compromises made by Vermillion Bird and White Tiger?]
Well, you said OR. I'm much more interested in the technological advances...

Orochi picked aerospace technology. Frankly, such a thing was a given to be picked, and he didn't seem incredibly invested in much more than getting back here to get the rest. That said, even disregarding the return trip, air travel ignores the limitations of the earth, and as such has the potential to be much faster than most forms of travel that aren't teleportation--something I didn't see too much of in even these blueprints.

Edward picked something that wasn't completely self-serving. It was still mostly self-serving, but I suppose I'll give him some credit--by introducing better engines, he'd help make air travel a reality--by probably hiring someone else to do the actual going through the blueprints and then taking credit for the inventions. Still, he did bring it back, and even not including air travel, it would certainly be a boon to us, and to society--now if only his reasons for doing so weren't so transparent.

Rowena picked medicine. An actual, completely benevolent choice, as well as a smart one. By reducing the mortality rate from various illnesses, brilliant minds shall live to grow for longer, and everyone else as well...and against something like that Virus, well, the benefits are obvious.

4. [Are you still pacted to the same Concept Beast? If so, has your relationship changed? If not, what caused you to split?]
Tesla is all about innovation. I still inovate.
I still like birds, despite being the most equipped to zap them. Tesla is still a bird, and does not particularly mind getting zapped (accidents happen with greater frequency nowadays).

What is there to discuss, really? Well, perhaps there's a bit. Innovation is certainly hard when you're staring into the blueprints of things that must have already existed--when faced with such advanced technology, how could one do much more than make it work? I suppose working on all those blueprints is like a...what do they call it now...a day job. ...And my nights are long, and full of thinking. I am...very busy. Living up to Tesla's standards becomes more and more difficult...or, perhaps it's irritated by Ed as well, and just cranky as a result of it? I wouldn't doubt that either. Perhaps some fieldwork is in order...

5. [Lastly, is there anything in the last campaign that you thought was really good and should be repeated? Or that was pretty bad and I should avoid?]

Time to take Elysia off the mic!

Well, you're calling it a short campaign instead of a oneshot and that's clearly a good...sign. Otherwise, it's been three years and I don't remember having any complaints, and I don't remember things too clearly enough to point out anything that especially stuck out other than Ed being handled notably well! The rivalry is fierce in its own way!

Bonus Round:

8. Music!: Times have changed, and so has music--notably the music I chose for Elysia has come under copyright and I don't remember exactly which track I used, but what's it matter? Times have changed! Undertale was released! Another Medium! Core is a bit too fast--perhaps if Ed and Elysia properly teamed up, it'd go something like that, but for now it's just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNN0HyO3rM4 !

9. Expectations!: I expect it to be longer than anticipated. That's how these things go. I also expect Ed to show up in SOME fashion, but you can break that expectation and I don't think I'd particularly mind! Elysia sure wouldn't--what she's expecting is to find some inspiration during her fieldwork. Perhaps that's my expectation too? Who knows!

10. Availability!: Tues-Thurs. I don't see my weekends opening up for a very long time, because magical girls are still suffering, and who really knows about Monday. If anything changes, I'll let you know! Otherwise, Thursday seems to be the ideal.
