Turn 3: In which tea occurs, and the plot finds themActions:
--------
Tina asks around about that explosion.
(
7) You find out that it was caused by mad !!SCIENCE!!, and that you could probably try asking the assistants. Your questions, though seemingly unimportant, still draw unsavory attention. You barely notice the person in the alley as they run off. You're not sure why, but you know they were watching.
Head back to workshop. Tinker with Gem
(
7) You manage to pry the covering off the gem, and though it discharges energy wildly, you figure out a way to refine the energy use, reducing the
MP cost to use your abilities. The energy discharge, however, reacts with other items in the workshop, causing several catastrophic failures and a pair of small explosions. (
2/
6) (
2/
5) You tumble under the table to avoid the first blast and the second, but in the process you bounce your head off the floor.
Find new work clothes and then chat it up with anime fan friend.
(As this is a steampunk setting, I'm assuming you meant fine literature, or black and white videos.)
(
2) You ask around for clothes you can actually work in without getting laughed at constantly, and fail spectacularly. The constant joking does not help your mood, and when you go to talk to your friend about books, you only succeed in being rude.
Discern location.
(
0) You feel even more lost for a moment, sure you'll never find your way home. Your new companion, however, calmly explains the surrounding section of The City, and (
4) manages to convey enough of the area for you to figure out a roundabout way home. You're sure there are shorter paths, but it'll get you there. However, now is not the time for that, as she guides you to her home so you can better discuss things in private.
Tea will occur.
(
5) Once you arrive at your home, Derek in tow, you settle in and talk about what happened and how you came to be in this situation. Both of you are relieved you're not the only one this happened to. And then there is hot tea, and it is glorious.
(If you had gotten a total of 6, I'd probably have given a slight buff for the tea.)
