Thanks for inviting me into the mod team, [@Ariamis]! I hope to do you and this RP proud! 

Alright, so I read the discord, and I see people are having mixed reactions, and more importantly, questions about the new module. So I'm just going to do a quick Q & A here based on what I saw so that nobody has to back track through discord to see what's going on.

[h3][color=Magenta]Q:[/color] Why is Veronica her own patron now?[/h3]
[indent][color=Magenta]A:[/color] The full answer is still a mystery IC, and I'd like to keep it that way a bit longer. But for those that have been following along, you may have noticed that Veronica is currently very dissatisfied with the mint. She knows she's being left in the dark, and is starting to distrust them. Crimson Cradle is an organisation that represents people who she can trust.

[h3][color=Magenta]Q:[/color] Why does she get cool powers that aren't available to other patrons?[/h3]
[indent][color=Magenta]A:[/color] Veronica is not a Puchuu, Lesser force, Deity, or Horror. She's a magical girl, which isn't something you can find among the base patrons. Thus, her benefits are unique. 
[/indent]

[h3][color=Magenta]Q:[/color] Is it me, or is she stronger than other patrons? Feels like a power play...[/h3]
[indent][color=Magenta]A:[/color] The only real benefits her agents get are some weapons and artifacts that are no stronger than normal, but have a bonus benefit/drawback attached to some of them. Veronica's agents have always been able to communicate with each other. Any unique benefits/drawbacks an agents gets will primarily relate to how many cradle weapons you can have and how Veronica regards you. 

Cradle supply isn't nearly as powerful as the Puchuu's emergency reinforcements, And veronica doesn't offer perks like the Lesser force's focused (a severely underrated benefit), Bonus stats like Deity's Paragon, Beacon's spark, ETC. There are plenty of advantages outside the Cradle. Not to mention Veronica is watching them all the time. All. The. Time. Just think about that for a second, and wonder if you'd want that for you character knowing that she's the type that would dispose of you if she doesn't like you.

That and taking a shower is never the same when you know your boss can drop in without you knowing.

[h3][color=Magenta]Q:[/color] Do you have to be a Crimson Cradle agent to get red coins? When will we be able to get them?[/h3]
[indent][color=Magenta]A:[/color] The Crimson Cradle discovered how to make red coins, but was it ever said that Crimson Cradle agents had access to them?

Sadly, this is another IC secret that will not be reveled at this time. But rest assured that everyone will get access to them at some point. They are a gift to everyone in the RP, and not a device to make people flock to Veronica. Even without the coin, I'm tempted to file a restraining order on some of you. Begone Thot!

Do also remember that the point of this roleplay is to tell stories about magical girls and their adventures in Penrose, not roll up the sickest, baddest meme to face roll other memes in a battle royale style gauntlet. 

Also, the RP is about more than just battles. Annabelle is the only magical girl that has been able to successfully recruit the Bates. And it was because she had a thousand dollars and some burgers laying around. If she had Flexibility instead, she'd be using it to dodge one of Regina's bullets. (she'd fail btw) Also, while it's true that Lily is one of the weaker magical girls, she also has one of the strongest alliances. She's have the easiest time beating most of the monster characters because she has her bad-boy husbando with her at all times and has virtually every other magical girl on speed dial.

If you're excited about the module, great! I'm glad you like something that I put energy into creating. If you don't, well, all I can really ask is for you to give it a try. Be patient, Don't jump to conclusions, and remember that Ariamis and his co-gms are here to ensure the RP can be fully enjoyed by everyone. That means putting an end to OP shit and doing our best to make sure everyone is treated fairly.
