I will post a reply with a link to the threadmark(s).
But... until then... off the top of my head:
Stewardship: 10 -1 +4 +1 = 14
Piety: 10 + 1 + 1 = 12
Martial: 10 - 2 + 1 + 6 = 15
Intrigue: 10 + 1 - 1 = 10
Learning: 10 + 5 + 1 = 16
Diplomacy: 10 + 1 - 1 = 10
Highest Stats: Learning, Martial and Stewardship.
Mid Stats: Piety.
Lowest Stats: Intrigue and Diplomacy.
... OK, you clearly didn't roll stats at all, did you?

Well, voting time. Here's some random things that seem like a good idea.
[X] Basic Training: All of the Gems in Maison know that they were made to fight, but three hundred rotations have dulled the skills all but the most dedicated of Gems. Counsellor Guerrier proposes to codify their knowledge and to hold seminars and exercises on how to fight for all Gems. It would go a long way in protecting Maison if all of its Gems relearn how to fight, regardless of defect or skill. [Dice Check 60]
Cost: 100 Credits
Result: Overall combat readiness of Maison improves.
[X] Honor The Dead: You miss High Counsellor Vieux -- but you are not the only one. Counsellor Friod believes that you should hold a celebration of High Counsellor Vieux's death. It would allow those closest to High Counsellor Vieux to say their goodbyes to her and potentially help them move on. [Dice Check 30]
Cost: 200 Credits
Result: Improves Mood.
[X] Dig It Up: Mining has been the primary source of resources, trade and boastful tales for hundreds of rotations in Maison. Counsellor Chaud believes that encouraging the miners would give them a boost and motivate everyone up a bit. [Dice Check 20]
Result: Increased mining activity, Income increased.
[X] Both Eyes Open: High Counsellor Vieux mentioned that something "terrible" was responsible for the damage done to her gemstone and, ultimately, her death. Counsellor Masquer does not believe that anything like that could have gotten into Maison, but she is willing to search for it. [Dice Check 40]
Result: ????
[X] Dim Lights In The Dark: Not all Gems are able to Fuse, Shapeshift or Summon Weapons. For some they don't have the talent, for some it's a matter of learning how to do those things, for some it's just because they don't believe they can. Counsellor Poilu has offered to help you can determine who has the ability to do these things. [Dice Check 40]
Result: Checks the magical ability of all Gems.
[X] Tales As Old As Time: You emerged in the Prime Kindergarten, but you weren't the first Gem to do so. There used to be rumors of strange Gems that appeared from nowhere only to disappear only as suddenly. There are even stories about previous Gems that lived in the Prime Kindergarten and enormous Monsters that roamed the wilds. Maybe it's time that you looked into those rumors again. [Dice Check 45]
Result: ????
[X] Defective, But Not Incapable: You might be one of the most physically talented of Gems, but you are a Gem nonetheless. Your defects hamper your ability to fight, and hundreds of rotations have dulled what fighting skill you had. It's time to fix that. [Dice Check: 20/40/70]

I'm back, life has been busy, but is starting to free up a bit. Wow I didn't expect that the first turn removed and redone in response to my post! I was actually rushing when when writing that up. I maybe expecting more care in the future, an edit, or maybe "flash back" sort of thing with Aube. Not every quest really needs a character creation, because sometimes it is fun just to see what new thing is given and work with that. Mainly I trying to complain of the some what broken introduction as it was very rough for even some one who is familial with Steven Universe to pick out what exactly was happening. (Let alone some one who never seen the show, would defiantly not get any thing out of it) Just the general lack of context cues to work off of. There are plenty of times where if the main character doesn't know something we also won't know, we can only speculate base on meta knowledge and clues, or we know what exactly what is going on in the story but can't have our character react certain ways because of its current situation/resources. None of this means that if the main character knows something that the reader will also implicitly know it. Unless it is in the narrative implied some other way through clues or other things?
Just going to put an alternative vote. not going to try to swing it. I believe the current vote is fine but there are some other options of staring.
[] Go Forth And Explore: For the most part, the Gems have been content to leave the land outside Maison be. Guerrier proposes to organize Gems to properly map out the land outside of Maison . There are sure to be a number of Gems that wouldn't mind the opportunity to stretch their legs and see what it out there. [Dice Check 60]
[] Honor The Dead: You miss High Counsellor Vieux -- but you are not the only one. Counsellor Friod believes that you should hold a celebration of High Counsellor Vieux's death. It would allow those closest to High Counsellor Vieux to say their goodbyes to her and potentially help them move on. [Dice Check 30]
Cost: 200 Credits
[] Resource Management: Counsellor Chaud believes that it would be beneficial to implement some of her ideas on how resources are managed in the Maison.
Result: Income increased by 25%
[] Both Eyes Open: High Counsellor Vieux mentioned that something "terrible" was responsible for the damage done to her gemstone and, ultimately, her death. Counsellor Masquer does not believe that anything like that could have gotten into Maison, but she is willing to search for it. [Dice Check 40]
Result: ????
[] A Drop Of Poison: There must be a reason that that Gems exist. You know that this has something to do with the derelict machines that dot the Maison, but Gems have left them alone for fear of disturbing them and bringing them down on their heads. Counsellor Poilu has offered to climb up and potentially into the machines to see what information she can learn from them. [Dice Check 40]

Quite the opposite for me. I have a all-but full time job in which I help take care of my infant second cousin [from 6:00 AM when I wake up to 5:00 PM -- 5:30 PM] and now my uncle wants me to start spending time outside every day taking care of a small patch of lawn on top of it. Added on top of how hectic and/or stressful things can become because of familial issues that pop up every now and then, and it hardly feels like I have time to relax, let alone write.
I decided to redo Turn One because of the points that you pointed out in your previous post -- and because once I was trying to answer them I realized that I had mad a mistake and decided to see if I could do better in a redo of it. Hopefully the new Turn One reads better.
I drew them myself. To make them, I looked up "Uncorrupted Biggs Jasper SU" and "Skinny Jasper SU" and used them to make Normal to Defective Character Models before I looked up "Desert Clothes" for the Counsellor's clothes.
I'm thinking of trying to make a small, overhead view of Maison, but I don't know if I can pull it off.
EDIT:
Vote Closed
I am in the process of writing a new chapter for Decolore after a three month hiatus, so I might not get to the Results and/or Turn Two until this weekend.

You are LaCroix -- the second High Counsellor of Maison -- and for the first time since you had stumbled across the previous High Counsellor on the outskirts of Maison while delivering a package for Counsellor Ensiegnant, you have the time to sit back and think. It has been less than a week since you had learned that you had been chosen be the next High Counsellor instead of one of the six Counsellors on the Maison Council -- and you still were not able to understand the reason that was so.
You were not the most unqualified Gems that High Counsellor Vieux could have chosen to be her successor, but there were a lot of other Gems that were more qualified than you. She could have chosen Counsellor Friod, Counsellor Chaud, Counsellor Ensiegnant, Counsellor Guerrier, Counsellor Poilu, Counsellor Masquer. She could have chosen Aube, Ciel, Soir or Terra. High Counsellor Vieux could have chosen any one of them to be her successor and no Gem would have batted an eye. But, High Counsellor Vieux hadn't chosen any of those Gems: she had chosen you.
You did not understand the reason that High Counsellor Vieux had chosen you to be her successor instead of those Gems -- would likely never understand the reason that she had chosen you -- but you would do all in your power to prove that you were worthy of such faith. It would take some time to learn the ropes, but... you had always been a quick study.
Counsellor Friod was followed a few moments later by the messy-haired Counsellor Chaud; the wild-looking Counsellor Poilu; the compassionate Counsellor Ensiegnant; the muscular Counsellor Guerrier; and the thin and slender Counsellor Masquer.
The members of the Maison Council finally settled down and quieted down. You hesitated -- wondering if it was too late to tell them that you couldn't do this after all -- that you hadn't been made for this -- but stopped yourself before you could.
"... Now that we're all here," You looked around at all of them once again, "let's begin."

It was nearly mid-afternoon when you were jostled out of your thoughts. You looked up as Counsellor Friod seemed to glide into the clearing. The thin, curly-haired Gem looked at you for a moment from underneath the long bangs that obscured her eyes, and as you met the look you wondered what she thought about all of this -- what she thought about you -- before she took her seat.
Counsellor Friod was followed a few moments later by the messy-haired Counsellor Chaud; the wild-looking Counsellor Poilu; the compassionate Counsellor Ensiegnant; the muscular Counsellor Guerrier; and the thin and slender Counsellor Masquer.
The members of the Maison Council finally settled down and quieted down. You hesitated -- wondering if it was too late to tell them that you couldn't do this after all -- that you hadn't been made for this -- but stopped yourself before you could.
"... Now that we're all here," You looked around at all of them once again, "let's begin."
Martial: Maison does not have a formal army. [Choose One]
Basic Training [Dice Check 60 : Rolled 33]
Failure
Your first official act as the High Counsellor of Maison... failed.
Gems felt that it would be rather pointless to spend time relearning how to fight when they could use that time to do something more productive instead. The ones that you and Counsellor Guerrier had approached to talk about potentially leading the fighting seminars had felt that it was a good idea to make a physical record of their knowledge, but didn't feel like the seminars themselves were needed. Either way, they didn't believe that it would be necessary to relearn how to fight when there was nothing that they needed to fight.
Result: Public Opinion drops from Neutral to Poor. Public Mood drops from Neutral to Poor. Basic Training option is locked for 3 Turns.
Diplomacy: You're young and inexperienced. All of the Gems in Maison might not like you, but they are willing to give you a chance because of High Counsellor Vieux. [Choose One]
Honor The Dead [Dice Check 30 : Rolled 90]
Critical Success
Unsatisfied with the result of your first act as High Counsellor, you threw yourself even harder into your next project. With the help of Counsellor Friod, you went through all of the records of previous public celebrations and ceremonies and meticulously made arrangements for the kind of ceremony that you would hold to honor High Counsellor Vieux. More than that, you personally traveled to the home of the Gems to personally inform them of the time and place of the ceremony, what would happen in it, and what would be expected of them during it.
You started the ceremony with a well-prepared but emotional speech about High Counsellor Vieux and all that she had done for Maison. You had then stepped back and listened as all of the counsellors on the Maison Council and those closest to High Counsellor Vieux to make their own speeches. You had stepped forward again and said a few more words before allowing those that wanted to approach High Counsellor Vieux's cracked Gemstone before you ceremonially buried it. By the time that it was over, you weren't the only one with tears running down their cheeks.
The Gems in Maison were more than a little impressed at all of the effort that you put into the ceremony and the ceremony itself. While it will still take a lot of time before the Gems in Maison can move on from High Counsellor Vieux's death, the ceremony was a huge step in the right direction.
Results: Public Opinion increased from Poor to Neutral. Public Mood Increased from Poor to Neutral. Spent 200 Credits.
Stewardship: You don't have a lot -- any -- experience in running anything, but things have to be done. You'll learn. [Choose One]
Dig It Up [Dice Check 20 : Rolled 46]
Success
Once the news of High Counsellor Vieux's death had started to spread throughout Maison, Gems hadn't felt in the mood to do much, let alone mine. The public ceremony that you had held in honor of High Counsellor Vieux had seemed to help a little bit: Gems started to return to the mines, but not all of them.
You talked with Counsellor Chaud about the problem and she suggested that you invite the Head of the Miner's Association to a meeting to talk to her about what you could do to help encourage and improve the mood of those within the Miner's Association.
Pointe arrived a short time after the meeting was supposed to begin covered in a thin coat of pale red dust and rock chips in her thick beige hair. Her hand twitched as she looked around the room -- shifting halfway into a miner's axe and then a shovel and then back again -- and didn't stop even as she sat down in the seat across from you.
'... I've never seen her this bad.' You thought with a frown. 'She must be nervous.'
Pointe looked up at you. "Y-You called me here, Head Counsellor?"
"Yes."
You spent the next couple of hours talking with Counsellor Chaud and Pointe. You came up with several different ideas that you thought could help encourage or improve the mood of those within the miner's association. In the end, the three of you decided that the best idea would be to hold some form of mining competition and then started to make arrangements.
On the day of the competition, you stood in front of the Gems that had gathered to compete in the competition and said a few words before the competition began. You waited on the outside of the mines until the end of the competition, looked through each competitor's haul to determine what they had brought in and in what quantity, selected a winner and bestowed upon them a specialized medal that had been made for the competition.
It worked.
Results: Public Opinion increased from Neutral to Content. Public Mood Increased from Neutral to Content.
Intrigue: You have a few things that you want Counsellor Masquer to look into. [Choose One]
Both Eyes Open [Dice Check 40 : Rolled 37]
Bare Failure
The day after the mining competition, you sent Counsellor Masquer out to investigate to search for the thing that High Counsellor Vieux had said that she had encountered. It might have been a better idea to have Counsellor Masquer assemble a team that would search Maison for the thing, but she had said that it could incite a panic if the public knew that something had attacked High Counsellor Vieux and asked you to let her handle it. While you had your reservations, you agreed. The last thing that you wanted to do was to make the public afraid of something that might not even exist.
High Counsellor Vieux might have believed that something had attacked her, but the area that you had found her in had been full of boulders and jagged rock formations: it was possible that she could have fallen and cracked her Gemstone on one of the rocks.
Counsellor Masquer returned late that night, her cloak covered in a thin film of pale red dust. "... I don't know what High Counsellor Vieux thought she saw, but I was unable to find anything that matched the description of the thing that she told you about." She looked toward the wall. "I... wouldn't say that it was a waste of time -- as the search allowed me to find a number of things that I believe we should look into -- but it was... unproductive."
Results: Both Eyes Open option is locked for 3 Turns.
Piety: You aren't the most religious or the most magical Gem in Maison, but there is nothing that states you can't learn to be. [Choose One]
Dim Lights In The Dark [Dice Check 40 : Rolled 79]
Success
Shortly after Counsellor Masquer left to search the outskirts of Maison for the thing that High Counsellor Vieux told you was responsible for her condition, you met with Counsellor Poilu to talk to her about her and if there was some form of protection magic that could prevent what had happened to her that from happening to someone else.
"... That is a difficult question to ask." Counsellor Poilu said after a moment. "I am not aware of a magical art that is used solely for protection. Form Alteration Magic users can use magic to alter their form into something with properties with increased defensive properties -- such as a rock or a metal -- but it is quite taxing and the Form Alteration can fail if the user's concentration is broken. And that is assuming the complete form of an object with Form Alteration: using Alteration Magic to alter portions of one's form without wholly altering one's form is a skill few can learn -- let alone master.
"Tool Manifestation Magic is more useful for combat, but it has several limitations. Tool Manifestation Magic takes time to learn and takes a lot of energy to use if one does not have a talent for it." Counsellor Poilu paused. "Tool Manifestation Magic also has the problem in that each tool is unique: no Gem will manifest the same tool. Gems with Tool Manifestation Magic will not only learn how to summon their tools, but train in its use. And not all tools are suited for protection."
You asked Counsellor Poilu if it would be possible to somehow determine who had the ability to learn them. She told you that there was no magical art that could determine that, but that she could lead Gems through a short series of tests that would allow her to determine if they had the ability or not. She asked you if you would like her to test Gems to determine if they had the ability to use magic -- and you told her that you would.
Counsellor Poilu determined that all Gems had the ability to use magic, should have the ability to learn all known magical arts, but that most of them would be unable to master the magical arts without a lot of effort.
Result: All Gems in Maison have some sort of magical potential, but ???? prevents them from reaching their full potential.
Learning: You have a lot of unanswered questions. Perhaps it is the time that you started answering them. [Choose One]
Tales As Old As Time [Dice Check 45 : 65]
Success
You found that there was not a lot of information related to the mythical monsters to be found within the archives. Or at least, there was not a lot of information about the mythical monsters that could be found easily. There were hundreds if not thousands of marked slates in the archive and -- while it was obvious that someone had made an attempt to organize them -- most of them had been stacked on top of each other even if it didn't make sense for them to be.
Somehow, Counsellor Ensiegnant managed to find something.
it was a crumbling old record of an event that had happened shortly in the first rotation. one third of the slate had been lost -- and what was there was hard to read -- but.... there were mentions of a bright blue light that had appeared from nowhere -- monsters that the light had unleashed onto the world -- and a desperate struggle against the monsters. the writer looked to have carved a picture of what the monster looked like on the slate -- but only the top edge of the monster's body remained. the rest of it had crumbled off at some point, lost in the archives, lost to time.
Personal: You aren't exactly completely sure on what to do. Some time to yourself could help clear somethings up [Choose One]
Defective, But Not Incapable: [Dice Check 20 : Rolled 11]
Bare Failure
Frightened by what you and Counsellor Ensiegnant had managed to find in the archives, you decided that you would do you best to learn how to protect yourself so that you would be prepared should a monster appear. You threw yourself into the half-remembered instincts that you remembered, the knowledge of how to fight, and... failed.
You felt like you should be able to fight, but that you couldn't. You couldn't fight... because your body wouldn't allow you to fight the way that you had seen others fight. You.... did not take the knowledge well.

Not the best start we could have hoped for three failures and a single critical success. there are a few questions that I would like to ask in the meantime while there is not much to talk about.
Basic Training - it had a cost to do was the funds refunded because we did not succeed?
Both Eyes Open - Why is the option is locked for 3 Turns? There was no mention of this in turn one. What exactly did a bare failure do and what would full failure do?
Dim Lights In The Dark - Most of this doesn't seem to align with some Steven Universe cannon/ theories that I know of. though I have skipped some of the newer episode because I was busy, or is there something else going on?
Defective, But Not Incapable - Narratively, what is going on? Is our body more "handicapped" than we thought or is there a sort of wall we hit in our potential?

Mm.
Yes.
It is locked for three turns because it will take that long to convince Counsellor Masquer to preform another search for it.
Bare failure = close but no cigar. Total failure = ????
It is based on what Maison Gems know of typical Gem abilities such as shapeshiftin and weapon summoning: accurate, but missing information.
Because of the failure, you were unable to figure out | discover how to fight in spite of your physical defects. It upset you because you know you should be able to fight, half remember the forms you fight with, but can't fight.
It'll be clearer when I can sit down and draw you and then post it here. Maybe tomorrow.

Well ok, thanks for clearing some of that up, there is no rush though still early in the quest. though one thing...
Usually in the majority of quest that I have seen locked options will mean that you will have to take that option next turn a "locked in" thing. Though being "locked out" from doing an option is nice to see, it is not what I seen normally when someone refers to a locked option.

If people are confused about something and/or want to ask me something about Geode, I encourage them to come forward so that I can clear things up to alleviate their confusion and answer their questions. I will mention that there are certain questions that I won't answer if they delve into spoiler territory, but everything else is free game.
To further elaborate on what I said about magic in my previous post, 'form alteration magic' and 'tool manifestation magic' are shape-shifting and weapon summoning -- natural Gem abilities. The limits I mentioned for each magical art are limits that have been shown in Steven Universe:
- Amethyst admitted that she couldn't shape-shift in Secret Team because she was too "freaked out". This implies that it might take some level of concentration to maintain which -- considering how seldom it is used in Steven Universe fights -- fits.
- It took Steven Quartz Universe a long time to learn how to summon Rose Quartz' Shield, even after explanations on how to do it from Amethyst, Garnet and Pearl. It is unknown if all Quartz Soldiers can "just do it" like Amethyst can so -- until it is stated otherwise -- I'll believe that it isn't so and that each Gem has their own unique thought | method of summoning their weapon.
It is based on a similar feature from Kingdom Hearts: Gathering Lights where an option can be locked for a specific amount of turns.

'I didn't understand the reason that others wouldn't be interested in relearning to fight, but I'm starting to.'
You stared at your arms and remembered the frustration and the shame that you had felt when you had attempted to practice those half-forgotten skills. You would attempt to move an arm, but instead wind up moving one of your stump-like stubs instead. Sometimes, even when you had managed to move to correct piece of your body, you had been unable to fully complete the action that you had set out to do. More often than not, you had found yourself tripping over nothing and falling onto the hard unforgiving earth over the most basic of tasks.You had always known thought that you were just a little clumsy, but....
The last time that you had fallen, you had fallen onto your side. Your Gemstone had hit the earth with a dull thud that had not left so much as a scratch, but had blurred everything for several long minutes afterward. You had to pay more attention. To be more careful.
'Maybe --'
At that moment, a series of distinct knocks rang throughout your home. You looked up at the wall -- when had the light climbed so high? how long had she spent ruminating over what had happened? -- before she stood to answer the door.
Counsellor Friod smiled. "It's time for the next meeting, High Counsellor."
"O-Of course...."
