[X] I will tell him of my history in the Delving Heart. Perhaps by knowing what I have accomplished in the past, he will lose whatever hesitance has gripped him.
-[X] The mission I led into the Deeps. Where I gathered comrades of various skills and led them on a quest to take care of a problem to the sect.
 
If we're telling him about our history then I know a great thing to tell him about. It made a big impression on the entire sect and even got us a commendation and a cool ring from our Elder!

"Oh yeah there was that time that nothing happened and i got this sick ass storage ring and several sage level techs from my elder."
"For... 'nothing happening'."
"well actually, " Zhi smells burning cinnamon, "uh, Actually lots of nothing happened. Whole lots of nothing. Haha, crazy right?"
"... Right...."

You both need to put an X in the second box.
 
[X] "NO"

There's a whole effortpost possible here, the reasons why Siani may have wanted to flex his ability to just very literally say no, but, honestly? The Tester's gotta give us something to go on beyond the fact that he doesn't like this. If Siani wanted us to have some sort of cover, he could have provided it.

He did not.

He provided "no"

So... "no".
 
Silver719, Shane_357, Angelazreal1 and Walter each have a variation of the "NO" vote that isn't tallying with the others for one reason or another. I'm not sure how Ves handles those but if you're one of those people you may want to consolidate with the main bloc to ensure you're counted.

Not sure why I have to be the one to say this when it's against my vote, but I don't like the ambiguity.
 
"I think not," I respond, instead. "Have a wonderful trip back to your Encampment. Take care on your return, lest some poor farmer suffer through your charm, confuse you for a drove of mules, and attempt to bridle you."

He's actually doing it! Our sociable cinnamon lad's mocking scorn!

All he needs now is a power pose! Get on top of ZK and flex those crimson gainz boi!

Back to back pose with Mei Daiyu maybe?

"Tell me of yourself," the bureaucrat orders. "Tell me who you are, what you can do, and why you are here. Please."

KZ Big Brain moment:

Quick, quick! The prepared response for active interrogations on the REDACTED!

"You went to the Deeps and you found a Natural Treasure. That is all."

No! That just makes it obvious, so what about our teamwork with Mei Daiyu, Zhuan Kun!? Definitely, we're good friends, not at first mind you…

Then ask him if we should date and not even bother answering the rest of his questions

Are we even at that stage yet? *Mental Hamster wheel on full power*

Who am I to contradict the united will of the W's?

Yes

What actually comes out:

[X] "NO"
 
One thing to note with the No vote is that if KZ has to roll a social check for it, it'll likely be with the debuff from "An Uncomfortable Authenticity"

I don't think so. There's nothing inauthentic about 'I flatly refuse to answer your question.'

Edit: Changing my vote to:
[X] "NO"

Seriously, "NO" is winning? Look, I know it's a bit funny, but it's not a good vote. This guy has every reason to not be happy with the situation since he's having a total unknown thrown into his protection detail, and he does have at least limited authority to boss us around for the several months that we're going to be escorting him. He's a mere mortal who is going across dangerous territory and just wants to know his escorts are capable and trustworthy. So can we maybe not make things harder for ourselves by pissing him off?
 
[X] "NO"

I'm on team respectfully no. I think we should defer to the wisdom of our elders and therefore it is not our place to say. I think it might be worthwhile to note we are an accomplished charmcrafter with some expedition leader experience but no specifics beyond that if pressed.

We are happy to work with him on other matters though, maybe discuss the potential interpersonal issues with his other choices. My second choice is the current number option of elaborating on our leadership experience.

I'm confident Ves will phrase this reasonably. At least as I see it, "NO" just means that we'll defer to Siani's answer on this. It doesn't literally mean that we say NO and walk away.

If you still think that's going to piss him off... fair enough? It doesn't seem enormously rude to me.
