Ah, I would rather you didn't put lines and so on in the vote. Discussion about how to do this are welcome and will be taken into account, but I find that actual lines in the vote tend to make things stilted once I start writing, so...
 
Very well

Ah, sorry about that.

So, discussion.
I think we should definitely apologize to Lucilia for hiding this from her and everyone else. Tell her that we were scared of people's reactions, since most people we've met before haven't exactly had the greatest reaction when they saw that we were a gravedigger.
Then we should offer to answer any questions she has. Hatred and fear are most easily created and perpetuated through lack of knowledge, or (perhaps even worse) through incorrect knowledge. If we can clear up any misunderstandings she might have, that will help, and more knowledge about gravediggers in general will shift gravediggers from 'those creepy guys that dispose of corpses and who no one talks to because they're probably evil or something' to 'people who have a rather depressing duty but aren't that much different from everyone else.'
Lirra's status as a changeling will hopefully help here, since she can't lie. Since Lucilia's a bard she'll be able to easily notice when someone is trying to weasel with their words without actually lying, so she'll be able to tell that we're being completely honest.

Edit:
Incidentally, the whole 'lack of knowledge breeds fear' thing means that Chloe will probably be fine with finding out we're a gravedigger, since she's probably learned a decent amount about gravediggers along with everything else she knows. Food for thought.

I considered doubling up on bandages, they're more likely to come up, but I didn't want to find myself without anti-status effect supplies at the wrong time. Technically we have enough money to buy two sets of bandages and the anti-poison but then we wouldn't have any money for later.

We do? I thought we only had 100 Creideats?

Edit:
Never mind, apparently I can't do math.

Edit 2:
That's a good idea. Maybe we should do that.

Well, from an action economy standpoint it would mean we wouldn't have to go back to the herbalist for a while. It would mean it would take longer to afford a real shield on the other hand. But I think we'd need to find a treasure windfall to do that anyway. Hm... Let me think on this.

We're going to be working, earning somewhere around 100 creidates a week, I think. 30 extra creidates probably isn't that huge of a difference. Unless there's something cheap that we want to buy soon, but all I can think of is the shield. Maybe once we get start learning some magic we'll need money to buy ingredients or something?

Good point. I think I'll change my vote. I'm not sure everyone following this thread knows we CAN double-up on the bandages, though, so I'm not sure it will catch on. I'd definitely rather have two sets of bandages (and antivenom) than bandages and a stimulant (and antivenom), even though a stimulant is hardly useless.

Fair. Worth a shot though, as long as we don't accidentally split the vote and end up with only bandages.

Questions: How difficult is all this stuff to make? And were we saving our Wistful Echoes for anything? Because we have enough of them to buy novice alchemy, and given how often we're likely to be out and about, I can't think of that as a bad investment.
(For that matter we could also buy Novice Elemental and Illusion magic, both of which I'm pretty sure we have affinity for from our Fae and our Gravedigger (Fire) heritage.

I know we're saving our Obsessed Echoes until we talk to Chloe, so we have an idea of what different types of magic do and can choose well. I'm not sure about the Wistful Echoes though. Alchemy certainly sounds useful, at least if we can use stuff we find rather than having to go out and buy the ingredients. If we have to buy the ingredients though, we might as well just save up our money to buy the finished potions.

Well, the go to Lucilia has won I guess. I'll let it go for a while with the shopping since it won't influe on the update itself anyway.

Once again, please consolidate all your shopping votes in one, as the Vote Tally doesn't work with several votes for a single task. Or give me a handmade tally at some point, I dunno.

I think I figured out the tally somewhat. If you divide votes by None, then it groups the individual [X]s that each person voted. The tally should be readable now.
Also, it seems we have a tie. Since I honestly doubt that enough people will come back to see that the doubling up on bandages vote exists, I'll just change back to my old vote.

This seems like as good a time as any to remind people that Chloe's next! We need to figure out what kind of magic we're going to get! Also, we saved Chloe for a reason, and that reason wasn't so we could just ignore her existence!

Vote Chloe, 2020!

... or whenever the next update comes. 😝

No reason to vote for something that has already lost, but I believe this to be an entirely private matter that requires no explanation on our part. It is within our right to keep our identity to ourselves, and I definitely wouldn't apologize for it.

Okay, so I discovered the Newest Votes Only button. Now that it's unchecked, we should be able to vote for multiple different plans so we don't have to choose only the plan that has the highest chance of winning.
Downside is that if anyone wants to not have voted for a plan, they'll need to go back to that post and delete it.

Sure. It'd be nice to talk to her and discover ahead of time if she's going to out us to everyone, though.
 
We can be pretty sure she won't, since she has a crush on us, considers us a child, and has been reticent about her own circumstances that made her seek entry to the Academy.

Well, I say "we", but I don't know if I should include Lirra there, because the girl is as clueless as they come. Even then she can probably piece something together from Lucilia's unwillingness to confront her on the spot.
