Princess can't really be trusted.
Beacon in the sky sounds like she'll stand out way more than she wants.
What's the point of having friends if you can't help each other out when times are hard? Definitely think she should head to her friends.
Of course friends are not just get out of jail free cards they can be great support even when they are out of their depths but in this case yes they can (hopefully) be of help...
In Addition it is probably better to ow several smaller favors opsed to on big one.
I opted for the beacon one. Because the other two require some amount of travel to get not-great/optimal or possibly-unreliable sources of help, she has to get past a lot of the city to get to them on top of that, and then it will take more time to benefit from whatever they offer. I feel like it would be a better idea to get others attention while she focuses on her own safety.
Well not that it was ever mentioned but the city has air defenses. Mostly for flying monsters... It's just never came up so the fly in the sky plan is not without risk.
I'm kinda shocked how many people are choosing the take to the sky and rain holy fire option, that seems like the worst possible option. She's trying to avoid attention not make herself an even more attractive target. She also doesn't really know what she's dealing with so diving in headfirst alone is incredibly foolish. I know she doesn't really trust the princess but the princes are the one most likely to be able to marshal forces with the knowledge and power to deal with it. That said I'll probably vote for her friends just to avoid the foolish route.
hehe I was wondering how my readers would vote :)
@Deathangel You don't necessarily make it easy with these sorts of options ... it's honestly like you WANT Alice to go on a fan induced rampage.... And Frankly speaking, I'm half tempted to take that option because I don't really like any of the choices ....
1) The Princes aren't really out, but the rest of the royal family are bad news, and to go to 1 of them is to go to the rest. Her bullseye is big enough.
2) Anyone that's ever played an MMO knows you take your party with you when an event starts. There's a reason "The Buddy System" was invented. That said, a small group of students, most of whom are not combat oriented, are only going to have a limited effect... Even if they try to use their family connections to help with whatever situation is coming up, mobilizing the amount of units necessary to fend off half a populated city is not going to be easy, or quick. By the time they realize how much of a threat they are dealing with, it will be too late, and the best they will likely manage will be "safe zones", like their city villas or something.
3) Holy Fire from on HIgh seems like a horrible idea at the start... After all, no city ever won't respond to an attack of such magnitude, but let's address this in more depth. When you list that as an option, do you actually mean an attack, or some Holy Healing AoE like that 1 she used in the dungeon a few times and subsequently killed the Lich with? Large scale healing spells may actually be somewhat useful... depending on what we're dealing with...... And I honestly don't really think she could stand out anymore than she already is, anyways. Everyone that matters already seems to know who she is, and that she revived a girl (among other things). Not to mention her Dungeon exploits were definitely passed on to those interested, and her school tournament results, and if people were wondering where the crap she came from, you can bet they investigated her school initiation test and class selection ceremony .... Even if she's somehow miraculously managed to fly under the radar through all that, the rumors from before have been making waves and growing to not-necessarily-inaccurate proportions in no less than a few hours....
At this point .... it seems to me like things around Alice are escalating too quickly for her to keep up with, and pretty soon, she's going to find herself in situations she's not going to be able to get out of (hence the poll, yeah?)... Maybe she needs an image change before a location change? .... I'm thinking "Angel of Mercy" and "Angel of Death" aren't so different from 1 another ... After all, what's the greatest mercy you can provide a dying person if not death itself? Besides, no matter what she does, "Death is a friend of Mine" isn't going to save more than 1 person, let alone 50% of a capital city. If she can heal lots of people and save them, great. If not? Maybe she can figure something out to bypass that "can't kill things" limitation she's got, and then quickly leave the region.
@Sath I agree, things around her are escalating very quickly. Seems like she's going to do something spectacular and very noticeable! Can't wait to see how it plays out. Wonder if she'll even be able to go back to the academy after the "event"? Seems like the story will take a major shift in direction after this. On the bright side maybe her eyes will be opened a little to who or what she really is.
@PiRho My guess is that her academy days will not continue ... at least, not in this school ... and not this kingdom ....
