Omri and Agneyastra should be with Magnostadt's Board of Advisors, the ruling council. As mom negotiates in our name, we're fine to do something else.
We might get another minder, but that would actually help us right now.

To be fair, Blue doesn't shirk away from considering any action—it's a fundamental trait of the color—but that doesn't mean Blue!Jade is impulsive. The opposite, really.
While I personally don't want to channel Blue for this vote, we probably don't need to worry about unwanted mental modification from Blue!Jade anymore*, either to herself or others. The consideration of self-modification was like Red!Jade calling normal Jade weak—it stemmed from Jade's self-esteem issues. Now that she's in a much better headspace, we should see less of stuff like that.
*Overchanneling Blue!Jade, on the other hand, may be a completely different story.
Actually, yeah, I am surprised we aren't getting a guide / minder/ bodyguard from the locals. We are both a highly dangerous personally and highly politically important guest. I would expect us to have an escort always.

You sincerely doubt any color would do much clearing, Blue included. You'd have to channel Blue for a bit and that comes with its own problems.
Yo, please cut down on the scorn directed at others. Part of having an Unreliable Narrator is interpreting the events actually occurring, which means differences in opinion.
That's a bit of a false claim; Jade could still try to channel later if she really wanted to. It just might not give her nearly as much magical knowledge without a real problem to point colored-Jade at.

Embrace the sparkles Jade. You decided to offer friendship to Nanoha and give her magic and adventure
The sparkles are forever.
Untill they're not.

The timing seems really bad. I'm honestly not sure why anyone thinks now is a good time to try to channel at all, let alone an untested and unknown channeling. I'm all for seeing White, Black, or Green Jade when a physical or social challenge comes along that requires their respective expertises (Black Jade might be useful for talking with Indira, for example), but I am very much against using channels as a way to avoid dealing with an emotionally-charged situation, which is what we'd be doing here in-character as far as I understand the situation.
...how... is that impulsive? Impulsiveness is essentially acting without thinking about consequences or thinking through how you're going to accomplish what you're doing, and Blue Jade very much did the opposite of that.
The consequences Jade considered were sorely, horrifically lacking. The true consequences of modifying the minds of ourselves and others were not genuinely considered at all. Much like Sidhe did not consider the true consequences when she rechanneled, what was it, to test if she could get away with it? Can you properly call that a calculated course of action? I say no! Not in the least.

Do we still not know anything about the Sparkles? IIRC there was mention of some odd soul stuff happening near when we met her but I don't think we ever followed up on that?

...why did she need to consider those true consequences when the immediate clear consequence of "normal Jade will immediately reverse this" was sufficient reason not to do it? Even Blue Jade isn't gonna go considering consequences that don't matter because they're for a course of action that regular Jade won't stand for. No point in writing an essay when all you need is a paragraph.

In my defense, the snort was in response to Lmao
@SynchronizedWritersBlock, sorry if it felt offensive to you, it was meant as lighthearted ribbing.
Not the same as impulsive, IMHO. Besides:
We didn't see Blue-Jade's entire thought-process, so we don't know what factors would be taken into account. We can't just assume to know how she thinks.

It's only been a few minutes since Omri left, and Jade hasn't even exited the room yet. Give it time.

@Alivaril after re-reading a bit I have a request/suggestion: If one character is just catching other characters up with what already happened on-screen*, then gloss over it.
Instead of writing out all of the dialogue that doesn't particularly add anything, use something along the lines of "When Jade brought everybody up to speed, Nanoha raised the point that ...." or "There was a long uncomfortable silence among her friends after Jade summarized what had happened, even though she had left out the most embarrassing details"
*Example: repeating almost everything Neph told Jade

I disagree. It would lose many details about how and what information was presented, and in what order. Take a look at the update you mentioned: aside from the differences at the start, Agneyastra interrupted Jade and we had a short discussion about Linker Cores, and then Jade described Nanoha's potential ascention really differently to hide what it actually entails. The loss of such detail is simply unacceptable.
