You chose to concentrate on helping the faunus and to do so by cooperating with the white fang.

This closes what is probably the last (or second to last) vote for a new perspective!

Welcome to *A voice among others* (name pending).

Concentrating on telling about Adam alone and emphasizing your role would have led to a more authoritative figure.

Trying to be a voice of reason with propaganda would have led to being seen as lacking in emotions (those that pointed out it didn't seem great were partially right).

Being a force of chaos would've led to something along the line of *a wild card*, *an actress*, *one with a thousand faces* or *a contradiction*.

Technically, the difference was also partially on approach, *cooperate and be a voice among other faunus* compared to *trail the path alone and be a central figure*.

An interesting tidbit:

Arthur was preparing for an eventual answer by Ozpin, with Ozpin's usual methods.

Given that he didn't have time to adapt to the information he just got before being captured, that means his plan has wrong assumptions backed in.

After all, both the fact that Ozpin is actually preparing for a true and certain endgame combined with your willingness to act in more brazen ways than his M.O means that instead of manipulating from the shadows, the answer is going to be right in the open.

Ok, I'm glad we skipped the authoritative figure because the Tower and Eye are already willful, dominant and not that cooperative. I'm also glad that we didn't go with some form that lacks emotions, since Stella already kind of struggles to empathize anyway. Maybe it could help her reason through things? But I think Sable and the Moment of Clarity are usually enough to keep herself in check if she's going off the rails.

Wildcard could've been interesting, but with the unpredictable result I'm not sure. Also on a "social justice" perspective I just prefer that she cooperates with the Fang, since Stella herself doesn't know much about Faunus issues or have big clout there.

So do you mean Ozpin will reveal the general summary or results of his plans to the public? Or, after killing Salem, he'll reveal it?

More that… how to say it….

Normally, when Oz makes a move, he tends to not be too blatant with the social engineering. He spent quite long not attracting too much attention to himself even as the headmaster of a big combat school, he works slowly, but surely, because trying to be too blatant will lead to Salem backing up the opposition and/or send a horde of Grimm to incite panic.

But she's not going to be able to soon, so while the opposition will still exists, they'll have slightly less means and reactivity. Plus the risk of giant horde of Grimm being lessened.

But also, yes, he is thinking about talking about Salem once she's done with, announce the world they have taken care of the queen of Grimm to give hope.

Not sure if I make sense, the short version is that my thoughts when writing this were along the line of *Arthur is prepared for Oz to come and have interviews about staying united, while helping the white fang defuse this without showing how deep the ties are. Instead, you're going to waltz in and ask Kali for help, do interviews as someone who helped her daughter and not care about the fact you are now a known associate of the white fang*

Bonus point for the fact that Oz can still be indirect in that it's not him that's a known associate.

Edit:

But I think Sable and the Moment of Clarity are usually enough to keep herself in check if she's going off the rails.

I can see why you said you didn't know much about Slay the Princess with that sentence. :V

While the Moment of clarity has been quite cooperative when she appeared in this quest, her goal in life is *walk from town to town terrorizing+ the population*, and she didn't insist when she first appeared because she also has a strong want to be understood that was filled, so is content with Stella acting as she is. (Shifty describes her as a doll, abandoned to her worst impulses. She wants to be understood but all she knows is terror.)

+And by terrorizing I mean: Kill from fright.

A glimpse of the future.
I have already told that this quest is reaching an end soon.

In anticipation of this, I had commissioned a piece of art for the quest I intend to run next:


View: https://imgur.com/3a2jJqF

(Art by @Renu, many, many thanks to them.)

This will be the header of my upcoming quest, one that I have been working on for some time in the background now. This will be another Slay the Princess crossover, I think it may be possible to deduce what with thanks to the picture, but not sure.

Anyone who does gets an internet cookie. Not you, @Naron, you already know and that would be cheating. :V

This will not affect the effort put on this, don't worry, I firmly intend to finish and finish as well as possible.

Ok from what series is the picture?? I dont get it honestly.

The reference is obscure, I know at least one person who knows it on this site, but then they'd also have to realize what part of it the style is from.

And might as well make the hint clear:

The style is the important part when it comes to finding the crossover. I asked Renu to make a pic of Moment of Clarity using it (did I mention I am very happy with the result? because I am).

I'll leave till the next update for people to try and find it.
 
I have no idea but I'm excited for your next quest.

Edit: the look kind of makes me think it takes place in an old timey setting with aristocracy.

Uh, don't really know many Tabletop Games that would fit the Berserker tone, maybe Warhammer fantasy or Kingdom Death, thought I have only passing knowledge of the latter, anyway, just found a wiki page for Tabletop games, gonna go one by one until I find it, see you guys in a hour or more.
 
Not gonna lie, the fact that it was Kingdom Death is really funny to me cause I only found it existed less than a week ago, and only because StargazingSeraph on spacebattle wrote a worm/KD crossover in they snippet thread.

Wait, there's another KDM crossover on this site? 🤯

The only other one I knew of on both here and SB is an omake for Projection quest I did myself, wasn't kidding when I said the reference is obscure.

Am going to go see it right now.

Edit:

Found it, interesting it happens in the abyssal woods, don't have the flower knight expansion so don't know that much about it.
