Initiate – Mentor move – miss condition – how to?

“On a miss, your question causes trouble.”

My player has a mentor that is somewhere else, so contact will be through a phone, I have no idea how to apply miss condition in an interesting way. Please give me some examples of what would you have done?

Should I work with the player for mentor to be more directly involved or that contact should be more personal or maybe more mystic like though meditation or something?

My Spooky player has chosen his Dark Side to be Depression, Paranoia and Rage. His powers come from Goth and Heavy Metal Prince of Darkness.

Please advice what requests can his Dark Side have of him?

I’m having hard time coming up with requests that are not PvP or that doesn’t makes the investigation more difficult.

Should I request him to just beat up a random NPCs due to Rage or abstain from taking action due to his Depression, this doesn’t sound interesting 🙁

The only good idea I had was to request him to do alternative ending to monster hunt. Instead of players killing the Monster, Dark Side wants Spooky to summon another bigger beast that will capture the Monster for the Dark Side.

That will end the investigation, but I’m not sure if this is not too big deal, I should ask bigger deals as his Luck depletes.

Please advice.
