[x] Buff Moon
Alright, I'm revising my vote to have the total thing included. I'm voting for the beginning of the Grand Heresy because that needs to start sooner rather than later. The longer we take to work that up the less useful it's going to be and the longer it'll take to work. The player base as it stands still seems to want to work with the realm if at all possible, so making that a priority seems wise.
I originally wasn't going to vote for a secondary thing, due to limit gain, but in this instance the second thing reduces limit, so I figure it's net zero hopefully. I vote for spending time with Moon, because as I said earlier, the more we can get a defining tie that's ULYSSIAN'S rather than Odyssial's the happier I'll be. I know that this one interaction point won't do that, but as with the Heresy, it's a step down the right road.
For my working vote I am honestly unsure what to vote for. I don't want to creade the 3CD, primarily because doing so at this juncture will have severe negative economic repercussions for Luseng. Buffing Moon in some fashion likely won't if I understand things right. Plus, performing a workign on her and investing in her further will also work to advance her intimacy. I'm voting for a generalized buff rather than any of the excellent options already provided because I'm quite unsure which direction I want to go in. They're all nice, but I don't think I have the context to really judge between them. Hence, my general buff vote.
Finally, I'm just going to say this to all the red bandwagoners: If you're going to vote for an option that vague as a result of feels then put those feels to good use! Stunt stuff, do write ins, otherwise maximize it! I don't really like that option because it screams "TRAP" to me, but if you're going to go for it then USE IT! Being the Best King Ulyssian can be is an intriguing option, but at this point the other stuff has a higher priority for me. The Heresy needs to start ASAP to have an effect, and Moon Needs Screentime!
But that's just my two cents.

Is it just me or does combining Grand Heresy with Limit Break like a hilariously bad idea?
I mean, even if the Siddie's aren't already doing what they can to make us seem insane and encouraging further Limit Breaks and stress to help with that, there is little reason for them not to take advantage of it if we do it on our own.
Do recall that there was already a solid chance Anys could turn Zao against us before we went on a rampage out of nowhere.
Another rampage isn't going to help with this and even if the Heresy works we'd need to actually be counted as a "good" anathema to get anything out of it, so PR becomes all the more important.

Limit breaks don't mean we're going to randomly run around like an idiot sabotaging ourselves. They make actions we take more effective, along an Odyssial bent.
Anyway A Light Touch doesn't make much sense to me in light of the way we just reawoke the Lathe. We look down upon the people, resolve so hard to change the equation that reality itself cowers before us, and then next thing you know we start kicking back and relaxing? Don't like the message that sends.

The king stands alone is like the Arturia option
That has the writing of Lily and Moon eloping somewhere down the line...
Though I'm actually pretty okay with that

Well, it's a matter of work-life balance. Some people would contend that having a good balance is far more conducive in the long term to productivity, versus binging and resting, but of course others would say that Ulyssian can simply omit the "resting" period of that equation.
Also, relationship development.

Yeah, I have faith in him, with the help of his faithful sidekicks Sable and Ambition to be able kick that nasty habit. Besides, you can rest when you're dead, and he's been dead a loooong time...
Yeah, but how many MachiBucks will we have to pay per unit of Moon

Photoshinmaic Hypermote Reactor
Cost: - (see text); Type: Reflexive
Power beyond any reason. That was what Odyssial was. By infusing to his very soul with a sphere of barely caged raging might made from raw Wyld from deepest reaches of Chaos, compressed until it resembled a miniature Sun radiating endless amount of essence, Ulyssian will gain a trumph card with a rare and dangerous ability.
Normally, it increases Ulyssian's base mote regeneration from the normal 5 to 6 per turn while in combat, 5 to 6 per hour while out of it and from 10 to 12 while meditating or sleeping. However, it has a far more potent power, terrifying in the hands of Ulyssian.
Once per Story by freely accepting gaining a point of Limit, Ulyssian can reflexively fully open the floodgates of the Reactor to empty themselves into his very soul. It will provide him with virtually unlimited amount of motes to spend for [Essence] turns, raises his effective Essence by [Essence / 2 round down] for the same duration and finally causes his anima to burst to bonfire level and also stay there for the duration without dimishing even if normally anima-levels consuming powers are used. After the effect ends, it refills both of his mote pools to full.
However, such power comes with a price. In addition of requiring gaining the point of Limit as it strains the Solar's soul to a breaking point, it also inflicts [Duration / 3 round down] points of aggravated damage to its user when the effect ends, caused by the overflowing essence seeking to burst out of his body. The duration of the effect cannot be controlled, and always lasts its maximum time.

She's already Hessiah so that would actually be a downgrade.
If we want to openly be a solar in the Realm then we're going to have to work on grand heresy sometime. The sooner the better.
Sure is. And we can have more time for such things when we don't have to be constantly making sure Luseng doesn't deteriorate into shit again.

Not spending extra time with Moon after not seeing her for months is simply inconceivable. Not to mention cruel. I really want to upgrade that relationship status.

Hey, just realized something. If we can use the Odyssian Horse as a battle-mount in addition of for extremely fast travel (to make it clear, not sure if this is possible), it might make sense to take some Ability points in Ride and also Charms for it, even if they are more meant for normal horses.
And you know what this means? We will never get Sail Charms! The Anti-Sail Scenario continues.

But that applies to everything else too. Such as severing from the realm and openly ruling as anathema without the heresy
insightful, yes. This is why I want to combo heresy with rest and relaxation with friends.

@Rihaku can you please clarify
Is the sorcerous working counting towards that 2 thing limit? Or something we choose regardless?

.... can we pause the sorcerous working to dedicate time to other stuff? like, getting to do 2 things from the list without getting extra limit?
Liked the update. Cannot understand A light Touch votes. Ulyssian just bullied Creation into spontaneously getting Adamant Circle Sorcery because of his rage at the suffering of his people. The dramatic revelation, the unlocking of Odyssial's memories and then... spending time with waifu? Really? That's a pretty sharp behavioral shift for Uly right after the update.

I was all for Heresy when we just arrived to Luseng, but its somewhat late to start up this kind of plan now. Wil it even have the time to take root before Ulyssian's Anathema status is found out, be it because of Syn or the shiny Solar Circle Sorcery? We haven't been making friends with the Realm anyway, and the people in charge mostly know/don't care about the truth of Immaculate Philosophy. And Luseng is pretty damn loyal already. Or will be, after The King Stands Alone.
I just find it strange that the last the option was rejected to focus on immediate problems, but now, when Hell knows Odyssial is back, Anys has fucking snapped, two of the invading armies are still around, and Ulyssian is about to start casting heretical magic, people expect something from such a long term plan. Which, I must mention, will also get us nothing right now.
[X] Prepare for Severance
Time to throw away the shackles holding Ulyssian back. The city mood looks favorable enough to attempt such without local negative repercussion. It also has good synergy with The King Stands Alone coupled with an administrative Knight of Jade. After seeing the wonders of optimized Solar Administration, the people won't care that he is Anathema. It might also solves the still hanging problem of the Lunar horde skulking around. Negotiation with him and the Gardener is a real possibilty now. Which might not be the worst idea, given the characters of the Lily and Seeds.
On the other hands, what has working within the Realm ever got us? A suboptimal build, restricted actions and, more recently, a big cut of profits from Luseng.

That, and a wonderful if threatened satrapy which was given us by the Realm in the first place (if with malicious intents) and not being hunted down like an animal constantly. And in the future, there might be much more if the Grand Heresy succeeds.
