Anyhow, the votes seem to break down into a pretty clear delineation. The political clout and monetary power of Sesus, the personal power of the Sword of Endings, and the power of Unity Fist friendship of one of the secret masters of the Realm.
Many different voting paths converged in Disguise, and now they're diverging again. The Realm Dynasty story, the personal power juggernaut, and the BFF Social Links.

[X] Night Time - Moon is indisposed, but you can do nothing for her. Her fate is in the hands of the healers. Still, you cannot help but desire to act. Perhaps you could clarify the confusion within you on another matter: Reminiscent Ivory, who you keep thinking of as "Pearl." Memories float to the fore, like unanchored bouys, but you would be remiss to investigate them without also investigating her. It feels almost as if the two of you have a connection, but it is fluctuating wildly, uncertain...

That's more of less correct. You need personal prowess to safely wield the Sword That Ends the World...
Hm, probably pointless. A Solar Exaltation is a font of imperishable might, which means it has infinite power, so there's no need to go looking for more power of the same nature. A fusion with Lea, Pearl, An Abyssal, Mnemon Ayala, and Moon, though...
Sure, once you've grown a bit more into the fullness of your power. You're just a baby Solar right now! Mighty as you are, there are still those who are mightier. A situation that ought to be rectified.
A Solar Exaltation can match or exceed the Sun himself, which implies something more.
I checked that post, but I don't think it should be necessary. It didn't introduce any info, just re-iterated old choices. I just need to list all of Odyssial's choices somewhere.
An interesting idea! The Singularity Husk is probably last, though. It's The End of the story of Creation.
Hm, in what sense? She's pretty comfortable around mortals and knows their strengths, but also their limits. That's why she gave him some Skin-Like-The-Mountains Oil!
Haha! Glad someone picked up on that.

Ah, right. The awkwardness was only initially.
She even shrugged off us hiding in her closet overnight.
I should have known I was re-reading everything too fast.

I like to think she didn't actually know we were in there until she went to get a fresh change of clothes after her morning ablutions.
Ulyssian was just in there... waiting.

Well, if you want to do that, there's someone else you might have to go through. Someone who is tired of the incompetence and graft that surrounds him. Someone who is supremely more powerful than her. Someone who failed Creation once, but, in the direness of the hour, sees no alternative but to venture forth, once more, into the breach. To try again...

This is pretty time-sensitive, since they're going to be, uh, irritated that we didn't reveal our Exaltation to them before this. The Sword can wait in our anima and our history with Ivory isn't going to rewrite itself, but this is a limited opportunity. They're here now, which won't always be the case, and they'll be coming off the pleasant surprise of our own Exaltation. So, if we want to mend fences and make new opportunities... now's the time.

Well, all three options are time-sensitive. Is it wise to undertake drastic action without a full accounting your capabilities? Also, the connection between you and
Wasn't her name Pearlescence? Or is that simply too unwieldy for casual use?
Hmm... the sword is probably going to be difficult to hide, unless we can dispatch it back into our anima again at will, but more training is always in-character for Ulyssian.

... Actually, thinking on it some more, the existence of Anys Syn might be a reason against picking the Night Time action. Like, what if that's the option that accidentally has us run into her? Like what happened the previous go around, with us picking an option that "auspiciously" had us run into Anys Syn at just the right time to alert her of when her plan had gone off the rails.
Picking the Sword option might be a very strong contender if it ends up doing something like "letting us defend us (or our friends or teacher) against Anys Syn if/when she surprise-ambushes us."
Gah. Stupid paranoia...

Also, Resolute Flame needs to be silenced. We don't need him to talk to anybody, but mainly we need him to not speak to secret Anathema who over saw creation for thousand of years. Or who he believe to be the dragon.
If we can get Anys' plan out of Pearl, then we can prepare and not be blind sided by eldar Sidereals.

Mm, I would say it's more a matter of taking an action to buff yourself before moving on. Time is of the essence, so what is the best way to make use of your limited actions? If your actions are more effective, more likely to stave off catastrophic failure, how much is that worth? In the long run, it could be worth quite a lot!

And that Rihaku post upside.Rihaku said:
Yeah.
Sorry, I really want to take our birthright as Sesus, but seeing as we aren't the House Heir, it's not as good as subverting Ivory NOW.

Beside, our family was never there with us, even if it's, uh, a "deception".
But when the time comes, they'll support us, I bet on that.

He's been calling her Pearl for a while now in his mental dialogue.
You need Summoning the Loyal Steel to learn Glorious Solar Saber, I've heard.
Which you don't actually know at this point.
Zao and Ivory are right there, it wouldn't be difficult to just go talk to her. The only issue is that the conversation may turn involved, and end up taking a lot of time.
That was before we spent 150k experience on changing Ivory's mind.

Argh, I seems to have missed that.

Eh, by that chain of logic any option could help Anys Syn somehow. Nighttime at least will probably directly address her, so it's still probably the best way to head any problems from her off at the pass.
We would have been a mortal marrying a Dragonblood heir of a major house. We have met and are friends with the heir already and they are the most mortal friendly house. By the standards of their society this is a really fucking good deal for him. This is literally the best possible deal he could get by the social rules of the realm.

Indeed. In a way, it demonstrates that the higher-ups were at least not totally oblivious to Ulyssian's surprising capacity. Either that or Nellens just completely outmaneuvered them. Either way, don't understimate... somebody!

IDK we've been author alerted that the family time option has more than meets the eye, compared to last time, and may head off something troublesome. They're only there for this tournament after all, and the other options are less likely to leave (though to be fair Family may try to take us with them, given recent events).
[X] Family Time
The others aren't going anywhere, and we dumped a bunch of XP into making one of the options already have a friendly predisposition to us, may as well head off the other option for potential trouble right off.

... Zao for Secret True Ruler of the Realm!
Being Shogun Feng's successor counts for a lot in Dynast politics.
"So what've you been up to in the last five thousand years since I died?"
"Well, I died, for one."

I'm kinda afraid that Family Time might result in them wanting to see our Anima. While putting off the meeting might make them like us less, it does give us more time to marshal our resources to make our disguise even stronger.
