I would be interested.
Helps show what is and is not a fluke.

We already look strange and like an OCP, we don't need to highlight it in public.

It would be nice if they were in a spoiler at the bottom of the update. While invisitext is unobtrusive its almost impossible to read on mobile and a lack of information on why what happened can be confusing.

I'd say keep the rolls hidden unless there is something of interest, or to show off particularly good rolls.

We didn't get any XP for helping to beat disease spirts? That was a huge amount of the reason I voted for it.

I've no interest in seeing the rolls, but if they're under spoiler tags it doesn't bother me, either.

In exalted, unlike dnd, you don't get xp for fights. You get xp per session. It's part and parcel of why it has social mechanics to hook powers on and why bureaucracy is an ability at all.
Heroism is more than fighting.

"Why are you glowing?" You can't help but ask.
They share a look again.
"You don't know Old Realm, and you don't know what an Exalt is?" Niktar asks, "What are you, really?"
River shakes her head. "We are Exalted. Blessed by the Elemental Dragons with power, talent, and virtue beyond that of mere mortals. Our status comes from our closeness to the Dragons themselves in the cycle of reincarnation. The glow is a sign of us using our superhuman might to some end, at it's most powerful it becomes a whorl of elemental energy, depending on which Aspect the Exalt is. That's which of the five Elemental Dragons they are closest to joining."
"How do you not know this?" Niktar asks again. His stance is wary, but not hostile.
You stay silent, mulling this over. It sounds like they are superheroes. Which is incredible, but so is a river bigger than the Amazon. On the other hand, the claim to superior virtue sounds downright Confucian to you.
You have many disagreements with Confucius.
[] "I am a Zeitgeist."
[] Stay silent.
[] Assert the fundamental equality of mankind.
[] "I have held to my end of the bargain, will you teach me to read and write now?"
[] Something else? (Write in)
OOC: +5xp

This is the one that takes the most stand for our domain and views, and I like it on that ground? Zeitgeist is cool too though, and works as our title.

- Actually pretty lost
I think declaring ourselves a Zeitgeist is more than just giving ourselves a title - it's giving away what could be a very valuable secret.
[X] "I only woke up a few days ago - am I supposed to know this from the moment of my creation?"
I don't know if the correct term for a spirit in Exalted is "conception", but we can swap it for "creation" if that fit better.
EDIT: Swapped to creation.
