Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
"Hey, I'd just ask for one of Sis' maids, but they're fragile! I'm trying to be thoughtful," Hanyi huffed, crossing her arms. "You'd be mad if I broke one!"

Ling Qi stared at her. Hanyi looked back defiantly. "...Yes."
Absolutely livid, yes.

Ah, damn, it seems wrong to neglect the Elder who gave us the opportunity to impress Zhengui's bio-dad... but he's competing with our last Su Ling meeting for this action slot.
 
I was just thinking I wanted to see Elder Ying again, she had much more impact than Elder Su in my opinion. Would feel wrong not to see Su Ling though. Even if we'd see her later anyway and have seen her recently. Just feels wrong to not make time for her here
[X] She would see Su Ling next, who would be coming out of military drill with her former commander Guan Zhi

If we hadn't chosen Suyin we could probably get away with this. We're paying respects and will see our friends again. But then we paid respect to a friend, so leaving out Su Ling would be pretty insulting.
 
Oof, we didn't even get the chance to apply omake points to the reputation roll.
Argent Sect rep boost 40% success. Target Number 61+

Rolled 74. Success, Argent Sec reputation increases by 1
Way too close for comfort.
But this could really help Ling Qi out. Before Paying Respects her Argent Sect rep was at 2.
2: Mildly liked- Members will be positively biased toward you, with some individuals being moreso. Mild institutional notice
Now it's 3.
3: Liked- Members will be generally well disposed toward you and the organization may actively support you
"May actively support you." If we play our cards right there might be a teeny tiny chance of Xin badgering Jiao into attending the summit as the Argent Sect's rep.

There's no need or value in that though? The Argent Sect doesn't need to be there and with the Ministry being salty and Jiao for ditching them him in particular being there could even be detrimental. Even aside from worrying the White Sky by bringing a Prism down there.

Anyone else feeling melancholic? Like we are at the end of an era, a bright and fun era even though it had its moments of darkness.

Like we are at the end of the normal series and are entering our own Shippuden.

So glad the roll for rep increase was a success. I didn't realize it would be such a low percentage.

My arguments for choosing Su Ling+Guan Zhi in the previous vote still stand.
  • We have gone in dangerous missions with them both and saved each other lives. The underground mission in particular was when we earned her personal respect.
  • That we are going to meet Guan Zhi in the war arc is an argument to foster a better relationship now, not to leave it for later. The same with Su Ling, we should find out how her divinatory powers are progressing.
  • Ling Qi hasn't talked with Su Ling since their dream adventure. She certainly would want to check on her. Both for the damage she suffered and to talk about how the deal with the Diao and the fox children is coming along. It would be out of character for Ling Qi to not do so.
  • Su Ling's Diao plot isn't something that will come back "soon". That's Li Suyin with the Diviner Action. If we don't talk with Su Ling now, it will be several turns before we have a chance to.
I won't deny that elder Ying was important due to Zhengui and TFR. But at the same time Ling Qi interacted with her for a grand total of a week.
I don't think it's right to forego Su Ling and Guan Zhi for that.

Now that I think about it, Elder Ying was the one that gave Su Ling her pill furnace. She is also the Elder in charge of protecting the mortals at the Sect town, which Su Ling is interested in.
If only we could meet the both at the same time...

I feel this is the arc to meet up with people we haven't seen in a long time and perhaps never will again, and Elder Ying fits that to a tee. Su Ling is certainly more important to us... but that's kind of the reason why she isn't a great fit for this arc about saying goodbye.
 
In the Li Suyin Negaverse:

Questers: "ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! LING QI ADVENTURE HOOK!! DROP EVERYTHING AND GO ALL IN ON OUR DEFENSES!"

Pretty sure the Suyin negaverse sees a Ling Qi adventure as something to invest in bigger bags to carry the loot than defenses given how they've yet to be burned on one like some of our other friends lol
Indeed, Suyin gets so much loot that she develops a complex....
