Eggbaby Assignment at Lofty Heights

This didn't seem big enough to warrant an actual plotting post, though I can write one up if necessary. I just wanted to run this past the mods to see if this is OK, specifically regarding potential property damage & how I involve the guilds.

Some other players and I were thinking that some of the high schoolers could get the "You're parents now! Care for this doll for a week!" assignment, with a meta twist.

  • Through magic and/or tech, the doll can monitor when it's being cared for.

  • The doll will develop a random superpower that the "parents" will have to manage. (After all, meta parents will likely have meta children!) Stuff like spitting fire, emitting sonic waves, or whatever the player decides would be funny. This could potentially cause property damage, depending on how destructive the dolls are allowed to be.

  • There's a dose of Guild Propaganda in the assignment, as guild-affiliated students will have access to resources that will make this assignment MUCH easier. (What those resources are I'm not sure. Childcare for the doll? Accessories for the doll that increase its positive stats exponentially?)

    Either way, "reach out to your guild" is supposed to be the most "correct" answer this assignment has. The intended takeaway is "When you're an adult with superpowered babies of your own, joining a guild is the best thing for you and your child."

  • You can pass the assignment without the guilds' help, but it will be difficult.

  • Does anything about this seem objectionable? Should I do a proper Plotting Post comment for it?
