Could work. The challenge will be to smoothly transition from where the update left off with us "lamenting" our fallen kin, I think.
Hmmm... she suffered a defeat in the Middle East, which is where our relatives supposedly died in the line of duty. Perhaps we could segue that into curiosity about her activities in Area Eleven, as well as other topics related to the goings on here.

That sounds like it could work. I imagine that gossip about the higher-ranked members of royalty would be sufficiently innocuous that we could ask about it and not seem ignorant. If we could get info about what Cornelia is planning on doing, that could make future encounters with her or her forces go easier for us.
Hah, this is a hilarious typo, considering Lelouch's opinions on Britannian nobles. :lol

I checked three times, why did I miss it?
I really wanted to update at the beginning of January, but broken PC.Oh shit this story is still active?! Epic!
On that note, I will go back to a regular update schedule with this quest. Length of each update may suffer, but I realized I don't have a constant: some times inspiration stuck and I managed to fill a post with 3-4k without it being bloated, other times I struggle to reach 1.5k words. So it's better I just set short intervals and write what I feel writing.

Letting them ask questions could be risky, as Lelouch might risk pitting his knowledge of the Middle East conflict against an expert, but on the other hand there is always the out that talking about it brings Lulu grief.
It might be worth the risk so long as Lelouch has enough details preplanned.

@Alexander89 A couple of questions:
-What was the reason for this party? I figure it should have said something in the invitation if nothing else.
-What do we know about the Earl? It would make sense that we would have done at least a basic background check on him.
-My earlier question on if we have instruct the ignorant active still stands. Or is that something we could/should stunt in?
With regards to what to talk about next I think we might be able to switch the topic around to how the Earl is doing instead. It doesn't even matter if comes off as a little abrupt since projecting hurt and some vulnerability with regards to our recent tragic losses is part of our plan here. He doesn't strike as the type that would mind talking about himself and he might give away some kind of clue on how this party relates to the abyssals.
@Enjou BTW, I noticed something while binging the quest. Freya Sigurddóttir is from Iceland and fighting the Britannians there... But on both the map posted earlier in the thread (I'm aware that one isn't canon) and more importantly the informational area list posted by the QM don't actually seem to have Iceland as part of the empire. It seems to be part of the EU...

I'd take that up with @Alexander89 - it's been so long since I wrote that omake that I can't remember where I sourced that Iceland was part of Britannia.

-Nobles do parties all the times: it's the main source of socialization for them. You don't need a specific reason to organize one.
-Like many Nobles he has taken residence in Area Eleven to promote some sort of industry under his own control. In his case, he produces weapons for the Army.
-No, Lelouch isn't under the effects of that Charm. It's too late to stunt for that.
Iceland is considered part of Greenland, Area 2. The Europeans couldn't care less about it, and only Britannia wanted it. The residents are not very happy about that*.
*In this universe Iceland's independence movement didn't last long, if at all.

-[X] "Politely" move the conversation on, mentioning that you had heard of Cornelia's unfortunate defeat by the 'savages' in the Middle East to imply just where your supposed relatives died, and query about her activities in Area Eleven. Move the conversation along to ferret out the men's opinions regarding the various recent events occurring in Area Eleven and seeing if you can manage to get any interesting tidbits that you were unaware of, or possibly get something that might point you towards what you came here for tonight.
I'm not sure on what specific questions to ask, because it's not like we can just come out and say "who do I talk to about the death cult?", so this kind of thing is largely going to be about pressing for information on recent events and hoping to find something that will be useful. Recent events include things like the Purebloods falling out of favor with Clovis, the Black Knights and their activities, and of course Cornelia's fights. Information on other stuff like economic events Lelouch may not be aware of could also be helpful.

Guess I don't have any better plan. I hope we aren't being too blatant here though.
