Perry asked his Grandmother for magical information about who/what/why so that he could respond to the attack with incredible speed and accuracy.

He now owes her a favor, and she is going to collect.Here's what we're not gonna do: We're not going to add a love interest based on Gramma's recommendations, and it's Probably not going to be something silly like a Broken Condom Curse.Even though that would be hilarious.Overt favors designed to make him a dad are probably out.Potential ideas include always referring to her as Grandmother, or reading the entire book on Manitian Rulership.Got an idea? leave it in the comments below, and if you see one you like, heart it.

Kaleb Uden

She wants help getting together with his granddad

PlasmaticPi

Can someone remind me what the specifics of her promises about getting Paradox magic were? Or at least what chapter that was in? Need to look at them before suggesting anything.

JG

He has to take a class on Mantian Courtly Manners/ chivalry. (Maybe as an attempt to hook him up with someone she approves of)

Alex LeBlanc

A course on royal Manitian etiquette could be neat, all the weird outdated traditions and such, based on extinct species.

Panda

Probably something to do with his recovery, like that he can never move out of his parents house unless it’s with a loved one (or two coughcough) and that he has to eat three meals a day with at least one other person

Sam

He has to divulge to his grandma just how he was able to start using magic when before he was quite incapable of using it

Macronomicon

her promises? Oh, the ones where she promised she wouldn't tell one of her peopel to do it. Hold on.... Mmm?” Mom said, glancing up at her. “Promise you’re not going to put Perry in mortal danger to try and unlock his magic.” “I promise I won’t.” “Promise you won’t have anyone else do it either.” Mom clicked her tongue with a sour expression on her face. “Fine, I won’t order anyone else to do it either.” “Don’t even bring it up in casual conversation with one of your flunkies.” “Kind of paranoid, aren’t you?” Mom asked. “Mooom,” Claudette groaned.

austin kutz

She wants to put her own unique piece of soul ritualism into him, no questions asked. It can be the next deus ex machina

Zed

Well... She wants great grandkids right?

Zed

Wait with how he gains exp based on changing a persons fate or clipping some futures him having kids with someone would drastically alter the paths... hrm i feel like with how controlling the gran is it might also be a very restrictive future

FishFace

Build her a fortified manor outside the city. Possibly nearby a certain potato farm.

Not Telling

There is the potential she wants some of Solaris's blood.

Findell

She wants him to setup a really werid ritual that they dont have the right ingrendiants for. Something like the one the Train used to make them prawns ignore them.

Andrew Potter

Yes the courtly manners course! He has to not just attend but be his Grandma’s (the host)general dogsbody and as a Mantian prince he has to charm/flirt with people for her own ends, while someone repeatedly attempts to kill him.

Lokino

She wants help, with designing and making a gift for his grandad. He would be sworn to secrecy by magical oath/contract. Gift could be something for the farm.

Cspiders

Being the receptionist at her practice for several hours a week, for forever no getting out of it

Gavriel

Donate Sperm for grandma to implant in a subject Visiting her daily Putting in a good word with his grampa (😂, recall gramps seducing) Visiting her at Grandpa's farm Studying with grandma daily Marry girlfriend's

LordDark

She needs help performing a bloodline curse on his father. Something fun like extrem flatulance when in confined spaces, such as a suit. It doesnt work anyways because he no longer has a digestive track... or body whichever.

Pierre laplant

Go on a quest to find x/y powerful magical creature/ingredient far beyond the wall that grandma needs for her "important" ritual (that ends up being something super stupid). Maybe find a team pet?

nugitoBambino

but she can't outright *say* that so she has to make an incredibly awkward phrasing for the request - and when Perry calls her out on it she denies it vehemently - even though that's clearly what she's doing

nugitoBambino

i don't think she wants perry to suffer? unless it's to unlock his magic of course

RainbowCatTopHat

Seems like she could ask Perry to do something really dangerous without breaking any of those requirements? She wouldn't PUT him in mortal danger, just lead him into placing himself in mortal danger. She wouldn't need to order anyone if the situation was just inherently dangerous in the first place. And making a request of Perry wouldn't be "casual conversation" it would be a deal. Not sure if any of this matters when the soul experiments also have the goal of letting him use magic as far as I'm aware.

Darren Deloach

I'm thinking something more smaller that she gets long term enjoyment from, like Perry has to do something to his dad for instance.

RainbowCatTopHat

Maybe she wants him to use his paradox abilities to get more of a rare magical ingredient? Like with the hairs of that Saint where he just fiddles with it and it increases in mass.

Nechochwen

Rare material refinement/duplication?

11037

Use his remote demon summoning tech, combine it with a capture/banish spell and create actual pokeballs for her.

Joe ?

He has to hold court for the manitian people of funkytown. It ends up with him mostly doing landlord maintenance stuff, or finding work arounds for the ones with disturbing diets.

Jordan

Perry must undergo a magical ceremony to add himself to the line of succession officially, and maybe an oath of working to reclaim the homeland of his magical people.

Josh Kuntzman

He has to attend some sort of ballroom/fancy party with other royalty. Added side effect of granma forcing him to spend time with her as she ‘tutors’ him in preparation for the ball. Add in some people who want to marry him for the connections rather then love or a minor political rival of sorts.

Cyrus McEnnis

Ok. So we know that she's considered evil, sort of a Maleficent figure. Effectively a fae royalty, which means she takes oaths and debts seriously. And she broke her word to the Mantians in the other city that I can't remember. So she needs Perry to settle that debt. He can't marry or break a heart, I'm guessing that a betrothal is out of the question (although being betrothed to John would be hilarious). She's also been described as a soul sucking witch or similar - maybe she has the souls of some of the Mantians who didn't make it across captured somehow and, now that Perry is experimenting with soultech, she wants him to use those souls to "ressurect" those she broke her oath to do that they might feed on the flesh of the enemies who threatened her grandson.

Trathnonen

She needs a sample of unicorn...ya know. So he's got to hook up Dave the unicorn on a date, only the "date" is a tinker engineered remote control sex doll that is piloted and voiced by the Love Angel.

arnumart

She sends him on a quest to the family tombs in the old world. I would like to see a world over run and him meeting his undead family would be interesting. Or she sends him to a magical finishing school to learn how to be a proper prince.

Gaunt

Enhanced magitech automation for the clinic?

sedael

Conquer and rule at least one (1) town in the name of the family dynasty

bradyman50

She should have him kill some enemies of the state that live in another city

MeanOldMathMan

Has to introduce a new favorite customer to console the neighborhood unicorn. Perhaps give an unfortunate villain a stalker.

MeanOldMathMan

Bonus points if you parody the "Crisp white sheets" speech from Ace Combat

ciaran mullen

Get her a date with chemestro/john

Infinate Fail

she could pull a "your first born child" but like, only on weekends or something, as the whole point of him getting together with someone she approves of is for him to have strong offspring, so she might want to personally train the new protégée.

Thomas Issa

She wants 2 main things, the continuance of her noble line and for that noble line to be powerful in the ways of magic, Paradox is making efforts to achieve both of her main desires, ballroom dancing etc would not help with and may distract from her main goals, and she sees Perry as a failure and a lost cause because his father is not a magic user so she would not want to make him more fancy, also she would not like to give the impression that she could not solve her own problems, so I think she would ask for something like custody of future children for a day a week to correct for bad influences

Bradley C

She demands him kill a powerful mage because her plans for Chemestro fell through.

Josiah Elliott

Definitely learning how to rule from Gramma in some way, or possibly an increase to time required at the clinic so as to force him to learn something about the Manitian way of life, or even a Manitian parenting class with Gramma, optionally with Heather and Hardcase too.

Jackson Andrews

She absolutely just needs help with some basic technological questions. she does come from a non-tech society anyway. she wants him to set up a printer and such for the clinic, fix her smoke alarm etc, but in doing so activates perry’s ability. and we get to see grammas house become some sort of magi tech nightmare.

Nobody

Insist that Perry doesn't bring further shame to mantian royalty by fooling around with mistresses, no dates with anyone until after he puts a ring on them, polyamory is acceptable. (Trying to look at it from both the "traditional grandma" and "classic nobility/royalty" pov).

mhaj58

Wouldn’t it be absolutely hilarious if all she wanted from Paradox was a way to set up a second date with Mechanauts dad? She’s been interested in him for a while but work and her ego has left her unable to approach him herself and she needs her grandson to get them together

Carl Mason

Except that "fool around with your girlfriends as much as possible" was literally her prescription for his soul troubles a few chapters ago.

Carl Mason

"Repeatedly attempts to kill him" like as a coming of age trial or seriously trying to kill him? I like making it a game that he has to win, a battle of wits, TO THE DEATH! If he doesn't catch them by the end of the night, it stays an active order against him and is acted upon at every Manitian royal event thereafter until he does. As a Manitian tradition, which Gramma loves and is trying to bring back into vogue.

Carl Mason

Unicorns are so committed to their virginity fetish that they refuse to lose their own and the species is dying because of it. She wants to harvest "materials" and increase the population so they don't go extinct.

Michael Telford

Setting up transcribing all here contacts into a new phone from here old Rolodex of astral horrors

SquiddlyWinks

A rider attached to the soul modification surgery

SunderGoldmane

Turns out she has contact info for a few fourth dimensional beings.

SunderGoldmane

More active use of the clinic would be great.

Marcus Pehan

Have him host some important Manitian event depending on what kind of event you make you could fit in a lot of things like a formal ball make it an anniversary for the kingdom and he has to understand why it's important, proper etiquette, meet more of the people they brought over, has to have a date lots of possibilities

David Burchfield

Research and spread knowledge on earth based essences. Manitian reagents are basically a non renewable resource.

STORRM

i think that would be best, automate her clinic so she can go on more dates... seems like theres nothing she cant get with a click of her fingers other then the potato farmer.

Dash of Salt

Or would he then gain XP for all the different life choices that person would potentially have?

OldschoolDOS

Manitian etiquette classes, working or improving the clinic in some fashion. She could also ask him to save or help another person that is involved with one of her enemies.

Chris Gast

Visit whatever is left of the royal palace, or some other notable location in the fantasy world, and retrieve something (a McGuffin, grandma's favorite tea leaves, someone she actually regrets leaving behind, or maybe a piece of herself she split off to avoid a magically binding obligation).

austin kutz

Retrieval of the soul repository of the fallen Manitian monarchs. They're bound to the throne, and only a direct descendant can retrieve it. Grandma didn't because she knew that they wouldn't have let her take them (because they all hate her already), so she wants Perry to get it for her. Allows the user to freely retrieve spells, rituals, and experiences from the former monarchs in exchange for a small risk of possession.

Macronomicon

Interesting side-plot. let's keep that one in mind

austin kutz

It goes with the plot of all the former Manitian monarchs being absolute douchebags. Also, a small risk of possession to Perry is just a small chance of his mimic soul getting a snack (direct conversion to bonus xp?)

Kabir Kumar

I think she's powerful enough to do what she wants. She probably has plenty of powerful servants who could manage the clinic for a bit

Kabir Kumar

makes the most sense. basically chores she doesn't feel like really doing

Kabir Kumar

make Perry an intern for a day
