No, that was Shen Hu.
Yeah, this is correct. Yan Renshu was the guy who tried to frame us for assualting other sect members early in Forge and who's base we sabotaged. Well, we infiltrated the base with intention of retrieving the incriminating evidence CRX requested...and when we couldn't do it stealthily, we ended up blowing his whole operation wide open, including the fact that he was blackmailing other students using pretty shady methods.
A very muddy boy, shuffling home with a new mud friend
carefully, carefully
it's a very heavy bucket
full of something very precious
he has to make very sure he doesn't drop it
That's my assumption, yeah. Two Shens enter, one Shen leaves.
I would like to not repeat the Bloody moon end, thank you very much. How does this parallel with the bloody moon choice, though?
Thing is - it involves two rolls. And re-distributes chance success between them. So it's either HighDC Social/LowDC Project or other way around. And involves (at least potential) gains on one route that wouldn't be present on other.
Lucky for us we chose the Shen who doesn't have Bian Ya to weep at teen romance strangled in the crib while we hang out at music club.
Oh I'm aware. I'm voting to lower the social flub
Yeah, like, I see the thematic link there - but insisting on doing things ourselves could also just be seen as an ignorant overreaction. Like, it's not as if any option just drops things - it's just that the other lets the person with the correct expertise do most of the talking. Like, hell, even in normal meetings it would be normal for your boss to do most of the presentation and argument, only drawing upon you when specific domain expertise needs to be referred to.
Literally hundreds if not thousands of Kilometers away
Yeah exactly. In other words, there's bravery and there's stupidity. LQ isn't that good at social stats yet. If we roll low and she makes a fool of herself, Shenhua isn't going to think well of her at all. She's just gonna be irritated with the young girl who clearly isn't ready for the court. If LQ rolls below a 60 or something, it won't matter how much Shenhua values us taking the initiative or bringing new opportunities. It won't seem like that to her because we came off as a socially graceless dumbass in front of her entire court. It is so not worth the risk to start off our reputation in court with appearing to be a complete fool.
Well, we were at the location of the Elder fight; they were literally in sight of us. Jiao on the other hand was somewhere else entirely, likely far away, and underground.
We're in the same situation of "Ling Qi wants to speak to a powerful person in order to see if she can change their mind" and given the choice to either follow through (and have a higher chance of success) or pull back (and have a higher chance of failure).
If Renxiang had the correct expertise she'd be more likely to convince Shenhua of Ling Qi's idea not less, so that doesn't actually track with what the vote options say.
