XD XD XD
So hyped and then it's something I've already read. Should've expected because you lost the votes. No problem with that. YAY VOTING!
A: Go to the marketplace with Rikku.
- It'd be nice to look around, but we have no cash. We could be doing better things with our time. Plus, the last time we got a look at the marketplace, IIRC, there was a big tent with a "No Al Bhed" sign. Tom Nook's place? We'd probably want Rikku to come along just because she knows the area and we could subtly see if her thief skills are up to par, but bringing her to Nook's wouldn't be good. And again, no money.
B: Go to the marketplace without Rikku.
- Advantage: Meeting Tom Nook and maybe learning more about the Anthros. Tom Nook could be a great ally since he's likely a strong businessman with a great deal of market strength. Disadvantages: We want to build up relationships and kicking Rikku to the curb for no reason would suck. We have no money. Tom Nook could be an even worse enemy since it's likely he has higher ties, especially to Vercetii or possibly even the Link Administration... which doesn't hurt actually if we go to him. Still, no cash and no Rikku. Not yet. Maybe tomorrow.
C: Go to Seventh Heaven with Rikku.
- We shouldn't go back to Seventh Heaven so soon. Not after the poker game.
D: Go to Seventh Heaven without Rikku.
- Even worse.
E: Ask Rikku for directions to the Anthros' park; travel to the park with Rikku.
- Best not to let her in on it yet. Going there is a good move to survey the area, but showing our face might mark us later. We'll see.
F: Ask Rikku for directions to the Anthros' park; investigate the area without Rikku.
- Dick move.
G: Attempt to speak with Odessa in Room 101.
- We need more information from Odessa. Not just on how she knows about Snake, but who she's working for, her relationship to Meryl, and more information about the factions and conflicts. Rikku's obviously intimidated by her so she wouldn't like coming, and if we take her, we don't really want her privy to too much information (yet).
H: Ask Rikku where to find Jax Briggs, and attempt to speak with him.
- Dick move to Canderous, but another viewpoint would be nice to have.
J: Attempt to gain access to Vercetti's headquarters with Rikku.
- Oh how I miss Oddity XD
K: Attempt to gain access to Vercetti's headquarters without Rikku.
- We should totally do that.
I'm leaning between A, E, and G. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages, but likely give us the most gain. C & H have higher risk with no tangible reward; they could be great options or they could be wasted time (or worse), so they're out. We need to stay quiet right now so going to hot zones for little reason is a bit absurd. I'll think more on it before July 10th.
