Sounds like a workable plan.
Let's do it anyway.

Keep up the line about how we don't think any of the gifts would fit Alice's skills and personality yet. It's true enough.

Say a magic word.
If all is well, ask if Thrakor is interested in experiments after greeting him.

« on: December 11, 2012, 06:26:04 pm »I'd like to have a heart-to-analgous-organ talk with Alice before we make a final decision on not converting Alice...like, at least a turn apart.If this is you trying to use reverse psychology... I don't... what? Why do you think you need to tell me that?QuoteHey, I'll go right out and say it. We don't want to.Then say that to her and close it forever
Well... I'm going to assume you meant that seriously, because... I don't imagine why else you would mention that. I want to close it forever. I suggested doing that already. You wanna stop arguing and let us tell her we've decided to drop it then?
Tell Alice we've decided we are not going to convert her, we will let her live her own life. She is a faithful ally and now is a friend of the family. Ask her to stay on, as your friend. If she mentions wishing to go on and do other things with her life, remind her she owes that life to us.
In said talk, we should be sure to discuss what we would expect of a consort and if she could provide it, as well as emotional issues. Also chat about what gift to give her.
Once we have such a talk, Alice would expect conversion or rejection pretty soon. For now, we have a good excuse not to convert ("Nope, no new gifts since last time you asked...), so let's delay the issue until we have a better Alice-gift.

Reread the turn.
You float between some of the tables, collecting several glasses. Not many people are here yet, so you ask Brooks a few things. "I do this sort of thing regularly," he begins, "Some A-list celeb throws some party, and Clay always seems to be involved, and every time he's got a new ridiculous haircut and seven different broads with him. Usually these things are fairly busy affairs, but we do manage to get the glasses back quickly." You then ask him about Clay's drinking habits. "Here's a hint. Keep eight shot glasses and a bottle of vodka under the bar. He seems to always get drinks for his group. Not a bad tipper, either, but god that hair..."I don't remember what our line is exactly, but we seem to be a bartender of some sort.
Upon saying that, a rather pompous looking man with a shiny white quiff walks in wearing a small leather jacket and tight white jeans... and seven scantily clad women. The ladies sit down as the pompous gent gets behind the decks and Brooks hands you a vodka bottle.

Yeah, I fimd it more likely that Alice would get a special power giving her a boost to burning down forests than letting her impregnate females.
Anyways...yeah, hunting. Find elves, look for nearby non-elf settlements.

In terms of fighting, the Dr. Jones School of Swordfighting has always held appeal to me.
If we're not talking about simply which is best for winning fights, it's subjective.

Mobile Sponges == Poripinnans
One less thing to clutter things up.
Anyways...
Azeroth does several things.
The tide pool poripinnans undergo rapid evolution in this strange new environment, and small population. They become symbiotic with the photosynthetic prokaryotes, exchanging various vital nutrients for glucose. They also develop a waxy coating and proto-muscular tissue to close their pores in times of drought, at which point they also go into hibernation. Some of the larger ones lose their motility, instead digging into the soil and sticking branches around. Some poke out of the water, although this is more by accident than design. The smaller ones retain motility, and either feed on each other or the larger ones, developing sharp "claws" controlled by the same kind of proto-muscles that seal their pores during droughts. They diverge into two new groups: The motile predators are the Protovenators, while the immobile ones focusing more on photosynthesis are the Viridipetrans.
Some rhinasusans begin to increase in size further, up to almost 5 meters across. By this point, their tissues have increased in complexity somewhat, almost to the point of having dedicated organs! They also have a primitive circulatory system in the form of a secondary set of canals which connect to a central pumping chamber, as well as a chamber specializing in digesting larger food particles. The proto-circulatory system is connected to the original canals in a few places, but the digestive chamber is only connected by an excretory hole for waste, having a larger orifice which pumps in these larger particles. This new group, much different from the ancestral rhinasusans, is the Neocolonians.
Some of the parasitic poripinnans develop "spikes" that let them rip into the body of larger beings, extending the range of what they can feed on.
Some of the poisonous eukaryotes develop into colonies.
Some communicating cell colonies increase in size and develop "tentacles" so they can latch onto certain porripinnans, eating any parasites they come across.
Finally, Azeroth contemplates throwing an asteroid into Genesis to see what would happen, before just shifting the orbit of a gas giant further put into the system, causing some bodies in its Langrage (sp?) points to become destabilized, causing a chain reaction which ends in a large cloud of partial comets and meteors orbiting the stars around Genesis's orbit, leading to frequent small collisions. This was less impressive than Azeroth hoped, but it would at least spread some rarer elements into the crust and add a little more water to the world.

I suggest we save the Gift of the Left Stone until we find a nymphomaniac of some degree who would probably be able to earn lots of gifts. Maybe just the lots of gifts part.
I'm not sure that Alice would much like any of the gifts we have at the moment; let's keep practicing animal and plant empathy in our off time. Maybe we'll get a gift she'd like? Regardless, I suggest that when we decide to convert Alice, we let her choose which gift to get...at least from a few we aren't "saving". That way, she knows we want to make life as good for her as possible.
In the meantime, let's hunt elves and listen for other races who live nearby.
Things to Consider:
1. Do you think a former-batwoman or somesuch would retain flight? (And other questions pertaining to the choice of race for our mates)
2. What should we ask the mermaid to figure out how receptive the mer back home would be to a night troll?
3. What would happen if we had a child with the GotLS troll?
