Btw, will X still at least go talk to Gebura about Sayaka and also continue informing Angela about her current situation on Earth at least if the take a break vote doesn't win? That was one of the actions included in the previous vote.
 
I don't think X will receive her absorption to Red Damage.

X didn't become immune to red damage because she got NT either so why would Melting Love heals X?
 
Hmmmm. You raise a good point.
[X] Take a break.
-[X] Inform Angela of the situation with Argalia and the Adult.
-[X] Ask her about how to watch out for these 'episodes' in the future.
-[X] Go and ask Gebura about letting Sayaka join in on the training.
-[X] Talk to the folks on Briah if possible. Socialize a bit.

I edited my last vote to not be a vote, don't worry
 
To make a better analysis, which actually takes into account how useful these will be.

Normally I wouldn't be opposed to conversing with new Abnormalities, but why is one of the worse options winning? Especially after what we just learned of X's sudden Mortality.
I'd like to bring our attention back to something I think is important, personally. It's mostly conjecture, but even so I feel like people need a bit of a reminder 'cause...

Abnormalities aren't just. Things that spit out enkephalin and EGO. They're living concepts, and X's nature means integrating more EGO into her probably isn't just shifting her personality here and there as she resonates with the abnos. I think integrating the right ones can and will influence the final result of her alchemy fuckery.

Like say, Schadenfruede, as an embodiment of concealment and containment and general "Don't open the murder box you fuCKING MORON", might help delay the next major episode by virtue of its nature helping X keep a lid on her own murder box even as it tries breaking out. I'm struggling to put together what the others might do, following this assessment, but honestly I do think Shchade is the best one to grab at the moment, if we grab one at all.

Getting some of the 'contradictory' ones that were mentioned might help too I think, carve out a metaphorical space of 'cats can have a little uncertainty. y'know, as a treat' or something? And whoever mentioned Apoc Bird's Long Arms? I think there's something there. Not a permanent solution, but another delaying tactic gives X even more time to shift her inner alchemy about some more and find a way to fully convert herself into something that isn't a walking talking mass of Genocide Bingo In A Box.

As for receiving ones we already have... Furthering X's understanding of them might maybe help her figure out more things that can be done with their EGO. IDK, tho. I've spent my inspiration for the time being.

That would've happened this chapter, but there was a minor interruption. I'm still aware of the original intentions behind the vote.

Always remember to take a little time for yourself every once in a while.
 
Due to some personal business that must be taken care of, I will be unable to update any of my stories for about a week's time. I may post an Apocrypha within that time, but proper updates will have to wait until all issues have been resolved.
 
Sidestory Vote

I was planning on breaking the hiatus with a Sidestory, but couldn't pick who to use as the focus. So instead of making an actual decision myself, I have passed the responsibility to somebody else generously allowed you to choose instead. Top three will be chosen.

[] The Child, Cherished Once More
[] The Observer, Scheming In Silence
[]
A Puppet, Without A Voice
[]
The Queen, Once Deposed
[]
The Siblings, Forever Parted
[]
The Machine, On Their March
[]
The Father, Alone

Well, I don't know, the truth is that none of these options tells me much, so I think I'll wait a while.

Also, you're right Lepidoptera, I always scheming in silence
