Do we need to spend goal points if we want the proto-nemuranai made during the trip to subsist? Like Dawei's shrine (more or less blessed by a god, a Fortune and Shinsei at this point), Saruko's banner and probably others I'm unaware of.
And the rat phone! Nope, anything accomplished during the game is persistent without goal points.

A general, "if someone could look over the recent drivel in my PF" query... I have some questions, some XP expenditures, and not sure about formal goal writeups...

As others are wanting to contribute to it, it would be good to know the cost. How many goal points for bloodless magic?

It occurs to me that actually providing some links would be helpful, given the amount of end of game madness you guys have to sift-

XP Expenditure. This is mostly so I can edit a funny line into my signature :P

Proto-Goal Writeup

Goal Point tracking

Fiction Bit (and therefore the lowest priority at present)

Would mentioning this idea to Shiba be a goal thing, ro something I can toss out as an "my guy brings this up and Shiba makes his own decision on it" kind of deal? Since Shiba's not really in this game, it's not a thing I have a lot of scope to get done...

There's a lot of assumptions going around that just because Shiba/the Kami are off screen they haven't been doing anything. I guess that's the downfall of having a strongly player-driven narrative.

That was already the plan, and they've done so more than once before now. Shinjo was planning to request the next meeting.
