If it actually became real, then I would say yes.
As of right now, it is a hideously complex and expensive illusion that will reck a person's day if they don't have the capability to deal with it.

So? That does not change the fact that xin's concept of hidden knowledge and secret places does not match Ling Qi who is overcome with guilt over the simplest of secrets.

Really? That is not how I've read Ling Qi's conflict with what she did to the others.
She has done very well with not talking about Cai's offer, she has not talked about the potential to Elder Jiao's apprenticeship offer, she has shown no guilt over knowing Cai's secret, and she has shown no guilt over Meizhen's secret other than her part in complicating their relationship and creating the possibility that she would reciprocate Meizhen's feelings.
Her guilt seems to be focused more on the selfishness of her actions and the damage it does to others, rather than the secretness of the matters.

This is a complicated vote. Mother Moon feels the least interesting. We ought to spend more time with him but choosing for that reason only feels empty and trite. We picked family for our Way but I don't want that to be all there is to Ling Qi. I'd rather she be more than just a reflection of those around her.
I like Dreaming and Hidden because they're more about her own passions. We've been cultivating her passion in music, which is awesome, but I also like the adventurous side of Ling Qi and it feels lacking recently. I'd be happy to have Dreaming or Hidden win but for now, I pick adventurer over socialite.

We are about due to pillage a ruin somewhere, yes.
Dreaming and Mother are the kinds of things we're going to work on *regardless*, or at least, we should. Hidden though gets into background lore and neat things--which are some of the coolest parts of this setting.

That's the thing though, the hidden moon is all about finding lost and/or secret knowledge but Ling Qi has not really done any of that except for that time she used said knowledge to help blackmail people. Hell Ling Qi has not even sought out basic knowledge on her own instead relying on what her frends are willing to tell her.

I'm reading this quest because it's a great story. I'm picking Xin because I think it'll make her happy, will make Ling Qi happy, and will make me happy because I like reading happy things.

First of all, this. Very much this. I was expecting something a whole lot better.
Second, @yrsillar How could we have gotten the Bloody Moon insterested?
I have no horse on the moon race now, Bloody was super interesting. Grinning's sister, and the patron of our tutor, many of us were hoping she'd show up.

From what I can tell, the Hidden Moon isn't just about finding hidden secrets, or keeping them. It's about learning. Finding things out for yourself, and figuring out how something works.
While Ling Qi hasn't been the most scholarly type, she is most certainly curious, and a very avid learner.

Ha, fair enough I suppose. But I do think that xin would want Ling Qi to choose the hidden moon path because that is what Ling Qi wants rather than because of her relationship to Ling Qi.

This is a really tough decision... I like Dreaming Moon's emphasis on friendship, but Xin threw a freaking birthday party for us and has overall just been really great. Ling Qi discovering hidden knowledge like Tomb Raider vs Performer!Ling Qi social-ing and strengthening her friendships both sound awesome.
Practically speaking, Dreaming helping with social will probably be important in the Inner Sect. And Dreaming would certainly help with our psychedelic party art. But on the other hand... proper management of secrets and hidden lore seems like a rather important skill to learn.
...I wish I knew how many influences we could choose. But in the end... I think Ling Qi is still a rather hungry girl. Relaxing enough to be so focused on performance and merriment, while wonderful, seems... a little uncharacteristic of her.
When it comes right down to it, I think we owe Xin first dibs.

Last time the successes went to overflow, so this is probably a net negative, since we're unlikely to use EPC6 before the tournament.

don't forget he is "only" green (7), it's entirely possible we get the 3rd choice at last green or first cyan, and more choices later on...
