anyone know how to get the âstay outside and watchââ ? or the above what @cheion posted ?
Is there a way to raise the precognition stat?
Go gamble before the auction should be enough for The Mess Up. And I think Ortega/Puppet dinner does the thing too, if you want greyed out options available?

I did the Ortega/puppet then I gambled, I did a lot of replays⊠still greyed out 
Doesnât bother me that much, at least I punched Herald⊠so yeah
I think to try and be able to focus on your precognition power in the auction (I only got it once, so Iâm not sure), you need to:
1. Have had a weird experience when Gambling at Joe.
2. Go have coffee with Ortega as the puppet. Stay at your seat and fidget. Weither you save your puppet, Ortega or both is up to you, but donât repress the feeling.
3. Go to the tables during the auction.
At this point, you will notice that your puppet might be Boosted, and can actively try to use their power.

HmmmmâŠI could see something happening in terms of the puppet and how you as a character acts
1. The puppet gains some sorta freedom, able to go around without the MC and tells the rangers or I.E Ortega what you have done
2. If the MC is being such a swell person then the anger, pain and utter hatred of people slowly gets pushed into the puppet until they are able to go free, where he somehow gains a portion of the powers of the MC and gets the bad ass suit and goes on a rampage of some sorts utterly ruining the decent name of your âvillainâ
3. If your such a prick the puppet gains freedom and does sorts the same thing up until he gets the suit and goes and utterly beats the MC downâŠ
besideâŠ
being able to sense upcoming danger , the puppet is mostly human with no others powers . Sidestep still can kick them to the curb .
add to that , beside some mumbling during the hospital visitâŠthe puppet is still clinicly in a coma . otherwise we wouldnt be able to possess them at all .
the last issue , is IF the puppet were to wake upâŠand its a very important âtoolâ to the mc , the choice of what to do become very small . Since they can be in a romance with the Dr. or Ortega or BothâŠand if you were to kill the puppetâŠthey will be noticed missing . And ortega is a hound when that will happen . The only thing I can think ofâŠis that to force the puppet back into a state of comaâŠ(lose the tool) and advance the time table to reveal yourselfâŠwhich therefor mean it wont matter if the puppet is revealed that was under your control .
True, but what I put out are three possibilities. Since for some reason I believe the puppet is more important then what we See in this story, the puppet is to simple of a character to be a simple toolâŠit has to be something more importantâŠ

On Tumblr she confirmed you can ditch using the puppet forever during Book 2.

)âŠaaahemâŠanywayâŠthats what I mean

So Iâm not sure what the trigger was to unlock the greyed out area in the auction⊠but after I started the demo over with a character with the strength and telepath upgrade, along with having met Jake at the bar. I managed to unlock the precognition option at the auction. Also something notable I didnât choose to go to therapy and I also didnât meet with Ortega or the Dr in my puppets body.
I think it would be interesting if the puppet were to wake up and go on a quest to take us down. They have the potential to become something similar to the old Sidestep, since they would be well versed in martial art, and able to predict their opponents movements. And a showdown between someone that can read minds and someone that can predict the future is bound to be fun.

actuallyâŠ
that kinda inspired me âŠ
imagine if the puppet make another duplicate of the mc armorâŠ
we can be anywhereeeeeeeeee!!! screw the ranger mind beyond the telepathic abilitiesâŠmuahahahaha 
That is what Iâm talking about my dudes! Iâve been thinking if the puppet gainâs freedom, this could change the entire dynamic in your play throughâŠ

Be cool if we could somehow create a whole new personality for the dummy that you have determined so they would be loyal to you, know how to think like you, and operate separate from you
So I have learned from tumblr that there is a scene with sidestep and sharks at the farm. Could anyone direct me as to how I see this scene? I seem to have missed it on every replay.
I believe itâs if you go to the gala alone, then go find a quiet spot away from people. Itâs just a real brief couple sentences.
Edit: doubting my memory on this now, will find you the proper answer in a minute if no one else answers
Double Edit: @sharknap I went and double checked, and it is indeed at the gala when you go alone, choose to go somewhere secluded.

@malinryden Thank you.
I havenât been keeping up with my fave Hosted CoG here because school and life and everything has just been so busy and hectic. But finally having the chance to read the scene with with Steel and his dog Spoon and his reason for naming him I honestly teared up a bit. Itâs been so hard and seeing characters who understand what Iâm going through as a Spoonie myself⊠I honestly canât explain how it made me feel.
So thank you. Please keep up the good work.

Idk if anyone else thought of this. My memory might be off about this as well. But could the puppet actually be Locus? If i remember right, Locus has been missing for a while and is also an alpha level telepath. Maybe something happened and Locus was put in the state Cyrus finds them in and is now slowly but surely stirring.

@Beaterxys given that Locus is canonically a black female, I donât think so. (At least I believe sheâs black. I know sheâs female but I feel like I recall the description of purple (lips) on black skin)
